They also took over Tennessee fairly early on and used that to march through Georgia (which is touched upon in the vid with the capture of Atlanta). The Union pushed all the way to the sea, which then divided the Confederacy into three parts - Texas/the West, the Deep South, and the Carolinas/Virginia. That's about the point where the war was seen as a definite Northern victory and it just became a matter of time until it ended.

(2:48) Thanks for properly including the Gadsden Purchase as separate from the Mexican Cessation. The purchase was pushed for by slave-owning southerners specifically so they could have a train route through the southwestern territories into Texas, connecting the Deep South with the Pacific Coast, thereby expanding their trade opportunities (apparently, the areas north of there were not as geographically favorable for building such a route). Mexico was not exactly in a position to object, having been devastated by the war several years earlier, and took the option of being paid for it rather than the U.S. forcibly annexing it.

Most students only learn about Grant being drunk, the KKK taking over, and the corrupt bargain that ended it. But there is so much more. Grant for one deserves recognition as one of the greatest Americans. He did as much or more than Lincoln to effectively end slavery in the US. Despite his substance abuse issues (which he struggled with all his life) he was the greatest general in America history and one of our best presidents.

To figure how much worse: More Americans died in absolute terms in the Civil War than died in World War 2. But we were more than 4x the population in WW2.... in fact, we lost over 1% of population from combat alone in the Civil War.

1) Dred Scott decision was made by the Supreme Court in Washington DC. 2) Scott's attempts to gain his freedom were made in the state in which he was enslaved, Missouri. 3) Dred Scott v Sandford made the claim that past travel to Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory, both free, dissolved the bonds of slavery. If nothing else is learned, we see that markers and monuments are not history nor are they necessarily good at teaching history.

What made the Confederates angry was because Lincoln said that and I quote "Owning Slaves is kinda cringe"

Very good for a quick introduction (just as I learned more about the English Civil War from this series). One thing I'd add is that Oklahoma was essentially a "territory" of the Confederacy. The Native Americans had slaves and worked with the South to keep them. As for southern Arizona and New Mexico, the Union soon took them over.

LOL...what do you mean? Even though he only had 10 minutes for the video and tried to remain SOMEWHAT impartial, he still took a few seconds to clearly state that "owning people is WRONG" and that the war was absolutely fought over the issue of sl@very and not the "states rights" melarkey narrative that some people, even nowadays, try to push forward. Of course most historians have a bias for the Union. That's because the Union was...UNEQUIVOCALLY right. This is one of the most black and white issues that a war was ever fought for, dare I say, even more so than WW2 (at least until the camps in Poland were discovered by the Soviets). The CSA was SO WRONG, in fact, that, even though the British had MASSIVE economic interests to support them, even they didn't ever dare to embarass themselves internationally by recognizing the CSA's independence and sovereignty.

This might be my favorite one you've done so far. History, memes, general un-bias...well done, sir.

Love your videos. You guys should do more videos about history of American Continent and its internal wars such as the Mexican Revolution, the brazilian Cabanagem (when the amazonian peoples tried to form their own contry) and the Guerra dos Farrapos, when the Southern Region of Brazil tried to separate from the empire. All of theese conflicts are present on the new Victoria 3 game, so now is a good timing to do some documentaries about that.

John Brown was the 1860's equivalent of the modern-day abortion clinic shooters/bombers... just because you might agree with him that slavery was bad... don't worship him as a hero... his people shot an unarmed Black porter in the back during that armed insurrection against the US government because he was going to warn people that they were there... he was a madman that desperately wanted to start a war in order to bring glory to his own damn name...

War over "states' rights" or slavery? Every seceding state's declaration of secession mentions slavery as a (or the) reason. So, it was a war over states' rights to secede over slavery. You can't remove slavery from any of the excuses. The problem was that it was an economic system fought over as a moral issue, not an economic one. Southern, agricultural economic slavery did not vanish until the late 1940's, when mechanical cotton pickers replaced the need for human labor in the fields, thereby removing the excuse for "share cropping."

Even if you think you know more or less everything there is to know about a topic... and actually do! This format is still hilariously entertaining! Big Thumbsup!

1:02 - 1:11 Aside from the slave part, this is an accurate description of American politics all the way to the modern day. Late 1860’s and 1870’s reconstruction mostly failed, so American politics have made minimal changes on these divisions. Even after 150 years.

Oh yes, Missouri was a slave state and was considered a border state, as like Kentucky and Maryland they all had very heavy Confederate sympathies but never were formally able to join the CSA. I’ve lived in Kansas and Missouri all my life, there was tons of guerilla raids between pro and anti slavery settlers and some of this bad blood between Kansans and Missourians were still felt in their college football game rivalries for a long time.

The 'fewer stars' bit got me.

Thx! You nailed it, as usual!

Small bit here, the town's name was "Appomattox Courthouse" and the signing was done in the home of a local doctor. Its confusing, I know. No one asked me what it should named. Also, 150 years later, and people are still dealing with the ramifications of the civil war. The south never really recovered industrially and it stayed in a cultural vaccuum until the 1960s when the civil rights movement stirred things up again and reopened the public to understand minorities. Still, the southern public remained held back culturally until the 90s, when the internet opened more people in the south to the world and the saw just how backward the older generations were. There is still intense pride in the south, but culturally, it's in a grey area, we have come far enough to know that we were wrong, and weve come almost far enough to admit it. But we southerners are proud people, and that pride leaves us with the dilemma of what parts of our very dark history to keep practicing while still moving forward into the modern age. As such, the south has a lot of small personal confrontations between people who want to hold onto old symbols and keep old traditions that are really harmful while others want to abandon all the historic provenance and start over, effectively erasing the accomplishments and heroism of many family legacies, and to southerners, family is one of the most important things. So here we sit, with unreconcilable differences and no clear way forward.
