When we reached the civil way in American history my professor started off the unit with “people will tell you the civil the war was about states rights, they will tell you it was to repel over reaching government regulation and often southerners will paint it as a just and heroic fight to preserve states rights. But hear this, the civil war was about one thing: slavery. Slavery was at the root of the issue. Slavery was what the confederacy saw as an inalienable right. Slavery was why this war was fought and anyone who believes the lie of the lost cause is in for a rude awakening this unit”

@aronpuma5962

6 жыл бұрын

Well, to be rather exact, the abolition of slavery was not the primary goal of the North. There was definitely large abolitionist groups in the North, and no one in the North was happy about things like the Fugitive Slave Law. More popular than abolition was something called the "Slave Power" conspiracy, that the slave owning states were trying to take over the North in a coup-like way by slowly corrupting the various branches of government. When southern states started to break off, the main concern was that this would allow Europe to pray on a weak US, that the South had been getting everything it wanted and as soon as Lincoln was President, suddenly they just couldn't take a candidate who explicitly said that he did not want to get rid of slavery where it already existed, only stop it from spreading to new places. ---- The main purpose for the South succeeding, and thus sparking the war however, was slavery. If I may quote South Carolina's declaration of Secession, the primarily reason is the "increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the Institution of Slavery." Nowhere in the document are tariffs or taxes mentioned. The south had a definite fear that the North wanted to take their slaves away, and thus they broke away. And for my personal opinion, I do think that the civil war may have been justifiable on the basis that ending chattel slavery literally freed millions of enslaved people. And of course, slavery was not happy. Slavery saw families broken up when young children around the age of 10 were sold to plantations away from their parents. Slavery saw many people whipped or worse for not performing labor. Slavery saw a very legal way to rape someone, because if they were considered your property well, you could do whatever you wanted with them. So well... yeah. I think the fact that slavery was ended was one of the best things to happen to the United States of America, and that should be celebrated. The defeat of the Confederacy allowed for the end of slavery, I think that much is not especially debatable. I am grateful.

Your teacher lied to you. The war was fought because the Union chose to invade the south in response to the confederacy's announcement that Charleston and Savannah would become tariff free trade ports. The war was the southern states' resistance to this invasion. The slavery argument doesn't play on moral grounds since the Union needed as many blacks as possible working in the cotton and tobacco fields so they could profit off their export to Europe. Granted this (like every war that's ever been fought) was over money and geo-political economics - this might be a bit above a 6th grade teacher's comprehension.

The version of history you teach to children can have a significant effect on how they grow up. Some will inevitably rebel or start smelling the bullshit when they grow older, but most simply accept it as the way things are. Combine this with an education approach which doesn't aim to teach young children to think for themselves or problem solve so much as remember "facts," and you have a poisonous education system breeding ignorance and arrogance.

I teach university courses (not in the Americas) and pick up the tail end of it - Kids 20 and 21 who can't do research, problemsolving or discussion and just keep asking for blocks of text to memorise and regurgitate come exam time. That's not the sort of education which builds functioning adults, or at the very least very capable specialists.

Being a lazy thinker is not something for which to be glad or proud. It's better to read & use your critical thinking & reasoning skills to QUESTION what you read than it is to not read. Laziness is bad. Read your textbooks. Go to classes. Ask questions. LOTS of questions. And question everything internally. Think about what you read & see & hear. Just don't be lazy.

Even if you believe that slavery was the root cause of secession, secession was not the cause of the war. The war, unlawfully started by Lincoln without the consent of Congress when he violated previously agreed armistices (which by definition are acts of war), was a war of choice. But we have many accounts by notable and informed writers of the time, including the northern abolitionist Lysander Spooner, and the English author Charles Dickens who had just returned from a tour in the United States before the war, who both stated in the strongest terms that the war had nothing to do with slavery. The revisionist history is that which teaches that slavery was the primary reason for the war.

I wonder if those who are pro slavery would still be so if they were slaves.

The overwhelming cause of the war was slavery. Why so many seemingly well-educated people continue to deny this fact, is beyond me. At the level of the individual soldier, they were mainly fighting out of a sense of obligation to their homes, their community, their society and state. But the southern politicians who pushed and ultimately ‘succeeded’ in pushing secession, overwhelmingly did so with the primary purpose of preserving the terrible institution of slavery.

@Billy Bob , the first time the draft was used. During the Civil War, the U.S. Congress passes a conscription act that produces the first wartime draft of U.S. citizens in American history. The act called for registration of all males between the ages of 20 and 45, including aliens with the intention of becoming citizens, by April 1. Exemptions from the draft could be bought for $300 or by finding a substitute draftee. This clause led to bloody draft riots in New York City, where protesters were outraged that exemptions were effectively granted only to the wealthiest U.S. citizens.

@Matthew Chenault , what are your thoughts on the 1860 election? Especially the Republican convention. Lincoln was anti slavery but he was not for freeing the slaves at that point in time. I don't think he would have been nominated as the Republican candidate for president if he was for freeing the slaves. I think the general consensus of the average person at that time was against the spread of slavery. For most I don't think it was a moral issue but an economic issue. It meant having to compete against slave labor.

Unfortunately, the only way to get the Southern States to accept the Constitution was to allow slavery and provided a formula to determine the Southern States representation in Congress. If they would have not accepted the COnstitution and joinedthe Union, they would have probably formed their own nation amoungst the Southern States. The fact that the Federal government was telling new states that they could not have slaves and the constant dictation to the states, who according to the Constitution, only had the powers granted to the Federal government by the Constitution, all other powers residing with the states, felt threatened and they left a Union that they freely joined. The fact that Lincoln would not recognize their right to secede and raised an army to keep the Union together, WAS an act of aggression towards the South. And when the Northern troops would not leave Fort Sumpter, which was in South Carolina state waters, the Southern forces fired on the enemy, starting the Civil War. Legally, there is nothing in the Constitution that forbids a state to leave the Union. Plus all battles of the war, except those at Gettysburg, were fought in Southern territory. The North DID invade the South and were the aggressors, whether you want to accept that fact or not.

Kinda like how the Democrats supported slavery and segregation but now all of sudden the Republicans are the racist?

Of course Wilson "proudly unveiled" the Confederate statue, he's Woodrow Wilson!

I have no idea how stressed allow statues of confederates, having a statue of Jefferson Davis in Alabama is like having a statue of Hitler in Berlin

The "Southern Belle" archetype never looked so menacing. I also want to add that there was a great effort in the 1950s and 60s from the south regarding beauty contests, there were a lot of southern beauty queens and it was mostly used to support a pro segregationist platform.

Rhythmicons That's definitely a better use for the catechism format but I still feel like catechisms are a limited method because so many children struggle with rote memorization. However teaching logical fallacies is crucial work and whatever increases knowledge of them is something I'll support. Personally I try to frame it as "if you learn these rules of argument, you'll seem much more intelligent and you can win arguments with pure logic instead of most kids who use ad hominem attacks." then they ask what an ad hominem attack is and were in buisness.

“The civil war wasn’t into war against slavery it was a war for states states” as a 13-year-old kid hearing this in the south I argued yes the states slaves!!

For years I always wondered why my boomer dad would always refer to the Civil War as the war of northern aggression and that it was about states' rights. Then I learned about the Lost Cause myth perpetuated by the Daughters of the Confederacy and how they lobbied to get that lost cause info into school text books, and how this had basically taken over in history classes by the 60s in the south, which was exactly when my dad was in school. He can't seem to unlearn this.

I have a law degree (constitutional law) and extensive historical study into geopolitics, with emphasis on American wars. Federal government overreach was the overarching theme. Slavery was not made central until 1863 (2 years into the war). 5 Union states had slavery through the entire war. I could go on but folks want to think what they have been told is correct, and not think for themselves. I’d be happy to provide ample evidence to support my position when I get time if anyone wants to pose a legitimate counter.
