Hurrah ! For Dixie s land we take our stand, And live or die for Dixie ! To arms ! To arms ! And conquer peace for Dixie ! 1 Dixie was the name given by the Southerners to the territory of the eleven Confederate States which seceded in 1861. It is derived from the old Mason and Dixon s line, which under one of the several Congressional compromises, had been fixed to divide slave territory from free. I quote from a letter in my possession from Mr. Yvon Pike, who writes : " My father wrote two po...ems entitled Dixie, one in 1861, and the other [which I have not seen] just after the war. " 192 Pike. 193 To arms ! To arms ! And conquer peace for Dixie ! Hear the Northern thunders mutter ! Northern flags in South winds flutter ! To arms ! Send them back your fierce defiance ! Stamp upon the accursed alliance ! To arms ! Advance the flag of Dixie ! Fear no danger ! shun no labor ! Lift up rifle, pike, and sabre ! To arms ! Shoulder pressing close to shoulder, Let the odds make each heart bolder !
