I remember as a kid having square dance classes and one of the songs was "Marching through Georgia", still being sung after a hundred years.


They sing it in India. When we were first married, my wife sang it all the time until I showed her my "Sons of the Confederacy" card and taught "The Bonniie Blue Flag". Cross-culteral marriages can be interesting.

The ad was clips from the show with the music of "The Devil went down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels. It definately caught my attention since I was focused on framing photographs at the time with the history channel on as background.

There were some excesses, but those were not formal policy but rather unintentional (though preventable) exceptions.

True. It's still barely a mild violence PG rating compared to some of the 20th centuries' R and director's cut level strong violent content.
