It's been a while since I've heard Joan sing that one and thanks for putting it up. She has an angel's voice.
I just simply see a young person who is being "blown away" by events controlling and, to a large degree, consuming a nation.
Quite a few of them did take their "rebel stand" and as far as I know, all of them served honorably.
At first, I don't think it was predictable at all. However, I do think a predictable outcome did emerge on Sept. 17, 1862 with the Battle of Antietam. Up until that date the South had the hope of getting help from some of the European powers. After the 17th, for the South to gain independence it was going to take having the North figure out how to lose. And they almost did. We got our Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787 and I believe that a pretty good argument can be made that it was saved 75 years later on what has been called the bloodiest day in American history.
My Yankee born, in Chicago, Dainty Darling Dove got the shock of her life 10 to 15 years back when she discovered that her one ancestor that fought in the Civil War was a dirty, rotten, nasty Johnny Reb. LOL

Your forebears took a 'rebel stand', the results were predictable and, unfortunately, tragically long lasting.
