This article needs fixed up. It is clearly not objective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.17.34 (talk) 04:50, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I removed the paragraph containing a long passage from the unidentifed memoirs of "General Longstreet" (presumably James Longstreet). It seems to be here because of the charm of Longstreet's Victorian prose, but is only tangentially related to the subject of the article. It also contains unexplained references to a "resignation," "the Texas girl," etc. This is not the place for it. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 21:28, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
P.S. Removed the preceding sentence about "General Butler" arresting a song publisher, which was flagged last month as needing a citation. If one is found and the passage is restored, please include a link to Benjamin Franklin Butler (politician), the "General Butler" who commanded Union forces in New Orleans. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 21:33, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I believe that "The Bonnie Blue Flag" was the Confederate States of America's National Anthem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.182.35.103 (talk) 14:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: reverted to stable title, The Bonnie Blue Flag, as the "(song)" title was the result of a recent, undiscussed move (see WP:RMTR). If you would like to propose a new title for the article, please initiate a new move request. Dekimasuよ! 01:32, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
The Bonnie Blue Flag (song) → The Bonnie Blue Flag – Already redirects here, the flag itself is at "Bonnie Blue Flag". PatGallacher (talk) 00:11, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
I've found fairly concrete evidence that the "Fighting for our Liberty" version of the song to be the original, my evidence is a song sheet produced by A. E. Blackmar & Brother, and pretty prominent producer of Confederate sheet music, this song sheet is dated from 1861, and clearly shows the line "Fighting for our Liberty, with treasure, blood, and toil." I shall post a link to the song sheet. https://www.loc.gov/resource/ihas.200002488.0/?sp=2

I must say that the song's lyric are not 100% correctly set down here (or that there are slightly different versions). In the ones I'm just listening to, the chorus after the two last verses differs from the others. Also "on high", not just "high" in verse 5. The verse with "Davis" is also slightly different. But, I will try to listen to more issues (?) of this song on Spotify.-Ralfdetlef (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
The opening montage song in the SpongeBob episode "Fry Cook Games" seems to be an original song and does not sound any thing like the Bonnie blue flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3003:3E01:7C00:75AF:61E6:488A:8A92 (talk) 17:49, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
