  2. Slavery was definitely a “political” topic as race division is today, it was not the primary cause of the civil war. Had much more to do with economic empowerment of the individual states and the federal government. The federal government was excessing draconian taxes on agricultural exports and imposing brutal tariffs on certain import agriculture eguipment and goods. The industrialized north held more seats in congress. Southern states felt an imbalance of fair representation. Slavery had nothing to do with S Carolina and the other 10 states leaving. The emancipation proclamation was ratified toward the end of the war, as a political dagger. And it didn’t ban slavery in the territories( which were federally controlled). History shouldn’t be revised to fit present social ideologies

  5. There are people to this day trying to rewrite history – that the north invaded the peaceful south that was trying to only exist, gaslighting any argument that THEY were the sole cause.

    What’s funny the same people say the same when BLM or school shooting happen — GUN RIGHTS, DONT TAKE AWAY OUR SLAV— GUNS!, THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO A MILITARY TAKE OVER IF YOU TAKE AWAY OUR GUNS!

    What’s funny is that a certain tan convict of a president is invading states with American troops and those same people haven’t raised their 2nd Amendment cries or guns in defense of said government military take over.

  6. Aspects of the Civil War were never resolved. We still struggle with Federalism vs State rights. However, even more tragic was the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination. Lincoln had chosen Andrew Johnson, a southern Democrat, as his VP to appear less radical and appeal to a wider voting population. This ultimately backfired as Johnson ended reconstruction prematurely and allowing the South to enact race laws (aka Jim Crow) which undermined the moral component of the Civil War. To be fair, Johnson was supportive of the 13th amendment, which formally ended slavery throughout the entire United States.

    What a lot of people don't understand about that period is the last statements of this video were very true. For the most part, most people saw themselves as citizens of their state first. This is why Robert E. Lee sided with Confederacy – even turning down the top command offered by Lincoln for the Union Army – because Virginia succeeded. This was in spite of being trained at West Point (later a teacher there too) by the US government. Ironically, Lee taught many of the commanders he would face in the Civil War.

  8. 1. "Free labor" of slaves was hardly w/o cost. Not sure I'd used that term. 2. You make the mistake of most "secular trained" historians — you completely neglect the overpowering effect that religion had in the the northern states. Slavery was seen as a grave moral shortcoming for the entire nation — a nation that was otherwise seen as a "new Israel". The North fought, in part, to "save the union" but the thing persisted until the end based on religious opposition to slavery. After Emancipation Proclamation my pacifist Quaker ancestors joined the Union army (and saw heavy action).
