Other Historians have debated the civil war, reconstruction, not Ty. Makes you wonder.

I got a lot of my education in the South growing up. Going to West Point and learning from then Colonel Seidule helped debunk all of the lost cause propaganda I learned about the civil war before that point. I’m glad he’s speaking out and using his platform for good. He was a great professor and I’m glad I got to learn from him

He accent doesn’t sound like a southerner at all

This man is a TRUE American. Thank-you!

Can i just say i dont give damn what he think of general lee. General Lee was a good man

Losing a war doesn't mean every person that fought it in was wrong nor that the whole cause was wrong, slavery was a united States institution and look what happened to the Indians, pointing fingers and trying to erase or alter history just doesn't fly

You rated Gen. Lee an 11 Jesus a 5? People like you exist? You donating the proceeds to an HBU? No? ... Hypocrite.

Ty ignores the inflluence of South Carolina on tariffs. In fact, the Republican party specifically mentions protective tariffs and Lincoln mentions the duties of such tariffs in his First Inaugural address.

And the reason the union would have failed is because they wouldnt have had the south why u think Lincoln started the war. Because slavery brought in a lot of money from cotton u really think Lincoln's first priority was slavery wrong. He wasnt even gonna mess with slaves here in the south he was just gonna stop it from expanding. Lincoln was a racist himself. And most the soilder that fought in that war on the confederacy side were protecting their land and property the confederacy succeeded many different. Lincoln didn't want that. Really the war wouldnt have happened if Lincoln didnt start that war look dont get me wrong im happy he freed the slaves but i know hes not all that good of man yall make him out to be he was just ahead of his time for freeing the slaves other than that he was just the same as most people back in the days racist. And the confedrate army was integrated. The Union's army was segregated. They were free blacks in the south that fought in the civil war. tell both sides not just the side that won they were all Americans and were fighting for their beliefs and way life. Can we really fault the soilders that fought in that war? And we should honor those confederate soldiers because they were only humans and were fighting for what they believe even if it was wrong we still should respect them for dying for this country because without that we probably wouldnt be where we are today

Hard to portray Lincoln as a racist when you have a Confederate flag profile picture. Or are you complimenting him? And… the South fired first. They also had 3,500,000 slaves, many of which ran the camps for the soldiers. So, so much wrong with this.

I SALUTE YOU SIR

Excellent segment.

Telling the truth is a ruthless act.

I thought West Point was originally named after Benedict Arnold and was changed to West Point after Arnold became a traitor?

I'll see your Ty Seidule and raise you Ulysses S. Grant. When talking about Appomattox in his memoir, Ulysses Grant said of Lee that "He was a man of much dignity, with an impassable face, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come, or felt sad over the result, and was too manly to show it. Whatever his feelings, they were entirely concealed from my observation; but my own feelings, which had been quite jubilant on the receipt of his letter, were sad and depressed. I felt like anything rather then rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly and who had suffered so much for a cause, although I believe it to be the worst for which a people ever fought. I do not question, however, the sincerity of the great mass of those who opposed us." It is sad that 150 years later people like Seduile can not give such gracious courtesy to men like Lee that men like Grant and Eisenhower gave him.

Robert E. Lee may have been a brilliant general, but he was a cruel enslaver. He split up families against his father-in-laws will. Lee was a traitor to his country.

More people need to see this segment. It will help us fix this country when we accept this reality.

If anyone thinks this dude "retired" from the military so he could speak his "truth", I have some oceanfront property you may be interested in. He's about as Southern as kielbasa and cabbage. I wonder if he will research and write about how we Americans in blue uniforms pushed the native American indians onto reservations and created an entire set of federal laws for "tribal nations" for their own good.

I'm reading Seidule's book right now. It's excellent. Highly recommended!

And extremely dishonest which is why the historical community is shredding it. Cherry picked source material that is at the very least misleading and at the worst declaring opinions to be historical facts. Thus may be the worst "historical" work I have seen regarding any individual during the Civil war.

@@doliver859 Historical community is shredding it?! Hardly. With the exception of a few Lost Cause hacks at W&L and other corners of Dixie, Seidule is being hailed as a refreshingly honest Southerner who is willing to have a difficult examination of his own heritage.

I have not read his newest book and I probably wont get around to it unfortunately but i have heard others speak about it these last couple of days and it seems like if you are inclined to hate Lee then its a perfect read and if you Respect Lee then you likely will have problems with it. I listened to his speech on the Prager video where he talks about the cause (not causes) of the civil war and i will say their is more than 1 or 2 misleading or straight up wrong information on it. This man makes it clear that he has disdain for Lee and the south in general so its safe to say he is as bias as any other historian with an opinion. I hope that this book has more facts than his speech and has the evidence to back it up but from what i just heard it doesn't really sound like it. I encourage anyone who enjoys his work to go and listen to the countervailing evidence by the othere that disagree with his findings and continue to do more research on the subject and you will some truth in what he is saying and you will find things he says are openly misleading or misinformation.

I listened to the book on Audible. I already knew the basics, but not as much as every one of us should on who R E L was. As far as the cause of the Civil War, don't take his word for it. Read the articles of secession, and the people who were alive at the time will tell you that it was about slavery and maintaining that system.

There is nothing courageous about chiding the establishment narrative!

No fan of PragerU, at all, but this was a very good book. Enjoyed it from beginning to end, and I wish more sympathizers of the Lost Cause Myth could realize, not just how wrong it itself is, but how hurtful it is for them to celebrate people who fought to defend slavery.

He’s a whacko. Anybody still into the Lost Cause by 1984 is nuts to begin with.

I am enjoying his book, if "enjoy" is the right word. I live in Georgia about twenty miles from Monroe where Seidule went to high school at a segregation academy where his dad worked as headmaster. He graduated from George Walton Academy in 1980 and says he never talked to a black person during the four years they lived in Walton County, a county that is 50% Black. Astounding, and very unlike my experiences growing up, but perhaps not uncommon in those days. Otherwise, I had many parallels with Seidule's upbringing but awoke to the blatant racism and the false mythology of the Lost Cause at an earlier age. But until I was an adult, I too did not know of the horrific Moore's Ford lynching that happened there in 1946,

this guy is full of useless information
