It was suppost to be an anthom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.172.83 ( talk • contribs) 19:24, 6 April 2010
"was also set to the tune of the British national anthem; ' God Save the Queen'". There's no way to seriously sing this article's lyrics to the tune of "God Save the Queen". Try it; the notes don't fit the syllables at all. (To puzzled Americans: "God Save the Queen" is the same tune as My Country, 'Tis of Thee.) Your reference is behind a paywall, but here's the sheet music I found. The tune is "God Save the Queen" (I can read music) but the lyrics don't match this article at all, except for the title "God Save the South". Art LaPella ( talk) 01:29, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
There is assertion in the article of a citizens of the Confederacy's personal association with George Washington. This seems completely WP:EXCEPTIONAL and needs at least direct attribution from one or more highly reliable sources. As it is now, there is no attribution and seems like pure OR or revisionist opinion. Toddst1 ( talk) 16:32, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

. That entire paragraph needs to go as there is nothing to support it.

@ The C of E:has restored the "justification for the cause" passage that is not mentioned in the WT article. This appears to be WP:SYN and is not at all helpful. Tagged as such. Your lack of engagement here and WP:EW tactics are pretty poor. Toddst1 ( talk) 22:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
The infobox says this was adopted in 1861, but the article says it was never officially adopted. I think the adoption date should be removed. Toddst1 ( talk) 20:57, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
