Every American needs to watch this. Thank you, I was surprised to know that 95 percent of the North were farmers.
Might be worth it to try to clean this up if there's a cheap and quick enough program or service.
I think this presentation is a shitty "ball of confusion."
There's obviously much more to this story than the "official" version ...
It was John Wilkes Oswald, KBG agent.
Douchebag Dulles during Warren Commission: "The Lincoln assassination was a conspiracy, but it almost wasn't." True Amerikan genius ....
Bulloch did not sneak back into the US, he became a British citizen and legally visited the US in the 1870's and the !890's before his death in January 1901
Excellent and he makes learned fun
How did they feel about George Washington or Thomas Jefferson who owned slaves?
Very interesting
Morocco declared the South outlaws and even captured a southern Confederate vessel.
The War and end of slavery just happened... that's weak! There were International pressure to end slavery also.
Truly, an incredible time in American history. Thanks for your work
States rights. States rights to slavery in this particular case.
You make assumptions.
We recently (last week) were in Richmond and viewed this exhibit at the museum. We thought it was well layed out and presented some interesting FACTS that let the viewers come to their own conclusions. That is the way history should be viewed. Show us the facts and let people come to their own conclusions instead of telling them what they should be thinking. The same should be happening in schools these days. Teachers should be teaching children HOW to think and not WHAT to think.
👍🏾
Well researched. Thank you.
You’re too young to be a quality lecturer. Practice more by yourself as your dissertation has strength as does your voice. Simply too unpolished at this time.
Great lecture ruined by poor audio.
Similar in appearance: was Powell's pistol (dropped on the scene) was it a Spiller & Burr or was it a Whitney? And had somebody filed off the serial number? Indicating late manufacture?
Ok, now, which is it? Did the Ranger recently detached from Mosby's Virginia 43rd Cav use his revolver as a war hammer because it jammed?? Or because it misfired??
The one thing that is never counted as the cause of the Civil War - Lincoln sent his army across the borders to invade.
That's because that event had nothing to do with what caused the Civil War. The fuse to the Civil War was already lit when Federal troops moved to put down the rebellion. It was P.G.T. Beauregard, being instructed by Jefferson Davis, who opened fire on the Federal garrison in Ft. Sumter. It wasn't a warning shot, like what turned away the supply ship. This was 36 hours of shelling, more than 3,000 projectiles hammered into the fort. That right there, is an act of war.
If you're talking proximate causes, 7 southern states had already formed the Confederacy, which was an illegal act under the Constitution (Article 2). By that alone, Lincoln was justified in using force to put down an insurrection. And prior to Fort Sumter, the rebels had siezed several naval stations and, crucially, the arsenal at Harpers Ferry (Union forces managed to evacuate all the modern rifles prior to the attack). Those siezures of Federal property were crimes against the United States (theft and rebellion). The Confederacy clearly intended war, and their troops were massing south of DC. It was Lincoln's Constitutional duty to lead the army and resist. If he had adopted a purely defensive posture, it would have been a dereliction of that duty. So he ordered Union troops to advance and quell what he saw as a rebellion on US soil. In short, the Confederacy committed several acts of war and rebellion before Lincoln sent troops to Manassas Creek. Lincoln had to assume that they intended to attack DC and knock out the Union with one punch. He therefore did what any sensible commander would - launch a preemptive attack. Thanks for listening.
@@brianniegemann4788 If necessary I could track the causes of the ACW back to the Declaration Independence, the survival of Martin Luther, or the submission of King John I at Runneymede. But if Lincoln dosn't cross the border, the ACW as we know it does not occur. Unless someone is of strong political motivation, there is no reason for my statement to be controversial. Much of what you have there is specuative, or just factually and legally wrong. The north's 30-year and ever intensifying :war" against slavery was at least a war of economic sabatage against the south: a war which was in violatinof the the spirit and letter of the Constitution. So, in a relative short chain of proximate causes, that is the first link in the chait, the first blow, a prolonged and continuous blow, the first outright sectional beligerance. I would equate the position of the smaller weaker south to that of that of an abused wife, who runs away, only to be chased down by her bigger stronger husband, who forces her back into the marriage, while increasing the abuse (reconstruction), and unilateraly writing new marriage law (the 14th amendment). The South was the agressor ?? Not in an objective analysis And if you think Lincoln had a "constitutional" duty - please point to the clause. As James Randall, Lincoln apologist, wrote, "No one thought that anything Lincoln did was constitutinal." So, what is it the modern people have found the Constituion, that the sons and grandsons of the Founders could not find? As to the southern so-called "acts of war" and crimes against the United States. Like what? The forts? First off, the south was the United States or part of it and vested interest in common property. But more importantly, theese improvements were all made on southern land. The cession of Sumter Island was made by an act of the South Carolina legislature. You know ANY law? What hapens when that unilateral cession act is repealed? The tenant loses his right to occupy ?
Another thing that is never counted as the cause of the Civil War... is the DeLorean Motor Company. And why would it be counted, you may ask. Delorean had nothing to do with the start of the civil war. Now my question: Why do you talk of Lincoln 'invading', as if the forced seizures of Federal arms depots in every secession state didn't happen? Why does the sustained 36-hour bombardment of Federal troops, firing more than 3,000 rounds of deadly solid shot or exploding shell NOT rate a military response?
@@jonnie106 Do you think after rambling about DeLoean, you are have earned an intelligent answer to foolish question? Yes, the seizures happend. And yes, the invason happend. And its the same word Lincoln used.
For some reason, I find virtually everyone's opinions exteremely and fundamentally inaacurate. Gallagher argues that only 11 of 15 southern states seceded. Really? Does any serioius student of this war think that Missouri, Maryand and Kentucky would not have seceded, where they not invaded and stopped from doing so by Linoln's army? Gallagher says the south had a different idea of "union." Yeah, the southern view was the union created by the Csontittutioin, which they copied basically word-for-word as the CSA Constitution. The nothern view of union of that of the abusive and possissive husband, who after divorce, stalks his smaller, weaker ex-wife forcing back into marriage, making her even less of a second-class citizen.
Being a reader I was interested in the book he said was the best he's read on this subject. Answering the 1st question the speaker called it "Blood on the money"... a mis-speak. "Blood on the moon" is available on Kindle Amazon at the princely price of ~$20. The hard cover is like $21. It's too bad the cost of e format books is so high considering they don't have to go through all the printing and shipping. None the less, I had a copy sent to my Kindle Library. I look forward to reading it. Nice talk. Thanks for the book recommendation.
What a wonderful man Bud Robertson was. A true southern gentleman.
MAD magazine: Lincoln saying Gettysburg Address to a crowd "..that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth".....wit in crowd: No, it'll just be a little hard to find
At a Civil War re enactment, I purchased a quite authentic looking Civil War era dress copy. It really went over big when I wore it to my Civil War class at University.....I don't think that professor ever experienced That one before. And he himself baked a batch of homemade hardtack, and distributed it to the class of around 25. After class was over, I asked for the remainder in a baggie, and got it!
LINCOLN: "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs"
Saint Paul, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln (MY list).....All in the Family: Archie..it's the first name. My name is Smith, Isaac Smith. My name is Brown, Saul Brown. Meathead: Abraham Lincoln. Edith: I didn't know Lincoln was Jewish
After the civil war memorials to Union dead were erected all over the North. In the South the first statues erected had a similar purpose to commemorate the Confederate dead. Proportionately those were far greater than the Union Dead. As for the states of Lee, they were erected at a time when the mood of the country was reconciliation. Who was a more appropriate figure of this than Lee, a man admitted even during the war and even in the North, and who as much as Grant, was a symbol of a gracious loser? I find it interesting, though, are those who are also trying to tear down the reputation of Lincoln..
The war hasn't ended when's the last time you bought a slave, moron.
This lecture was definitely worth my time. The audio was bad in a couple spots, but really not that bad.
I read some of the commentary before watching the video. Good presentation, maybe a little politically biased, 😅 but I can laugh at that. Public opinion over the subject of confederate monuments, graves, etc, has changed over the last several years. Public opinion may be totally different from what it is today, in about 40-50 years, you never know. That war has been over for about 160 years. Getting worked up over the subject of confederates being traitors, or the lost cause theory is pointless and stupid, considering the many other much more pressing problems in our country, that people should be concerning themselves with, not this other b.s. It must be a sign of the times, that people are acting this crazy about the subject. 😮 Time to put this entire subject behind us, and move on.....
I’m so glad that I live in an era where monuments to men who fought for principle are removed and monuments to a fentanyl addicted person who held a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly are erected. Progress.
Can't watch this. Audio sucks. Too much focus on the body of the lecturer & not enough on the content on the power point. Another example of the reality of INCOMPETENCE ABOUNDS. exiting out.
"...HE and his mother ran." NOT "...HIM and his mother..."
Well done!
I go along with most of what Dr. Gallagher says, but demure on some of his comments about the Lost Cause and Lee as representative of it, He tells his British colleague to his country is to blame for our aversion to a professional Army.as a consequence of the Revolution. But Britain had an equal aversion to large professional forces. dating from the struggles with the Stuarts. The use of Red Coats in Boston famously became a symbol of oppression. In the South, the use of even small numbers of Union troops during Reconstruction became likewise as a part of the Redeemers campaign propaganda. Withdrawal of troops as part of the deal in 1877 was thus a part of the deal that would find support even in the North. That the small residual force existed mainly for one other purpose, which was to suppress the wild Indians on the frontier was unacceptable as an expression of Yankee domination. Which it was even at the time "Gone with the Wind was made.
The pyramid looks like a giant KKK hood...
White supremacy was the proximate cause of the of the Civil War - which group of whites was going to rule supreme over the American continent. Slavery is an effect of white supremacy, not the cause.
I'd agree, the rich Northern merchants and the rich Southern planters were in a competition for economic and political dominance. And in the 1850s, the South began to lose that contest.
Brown is the only religious person in history I can respect as he took it apon himself to be labeled a terrorist to free people from injustice
The Civil War is the saddest war ever saw roughly 50 years before we fought side-by-side for our freedom against Britain. My direct descendent was at the battle of New Orleans. Fighting beside French pirates Native Americans and free slaves Unfortunately, I had family on both sides of the Civil War lost uncle Samuel at shallow. Uncle Chickasaw was a slave owner, but he fought for the north Served under Sherman as a scout president Lincoln use slavery to recruit soldiers . It was not over slavery, but it should’ve been.
Gotta remember the South had a lot of the Mississippi River tied up major trade route New Orleans would be up for grabs if the north one just something to think about🤔
Nice presentation, but unfortunately ventured too close to politics to give it a like
I heard of elephants being used back in the day with Alexander the Great but gorillas?? 🦍
There are 2468 Confederate soldiers buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Hagerstown Maryland - from the battle of Antietam and South Mountain.
Thank you for breaking my eardrums and scaring the bleep out of me.
Ayers is brilliant. You can sense that he really feels for the horrendous reality of his topic. It is so sad that such a meaningful lecture should be spoiled by a such a meaningless audio malfunction
The Civil War was a clash between two competing economic systems; one based on industry, trade and innovation, the other an agrarian system based on ancient traditions of aristocracy. They also differed in types of government. The south was heirarchical; the north more democratic and inclusive. They carried on an uneasy coexistence until the balance of power shifted with the admission of new, free states. The southern leaders then percieved that their political power and "way of life" was threatened, and decided to secede. Basically, one side was embracing the future and the other clinging to the past.
Racism is the personification of the words race black and white language that has been institutionalised Where the word race is not a competition, but a group of people used as the Paradigm for our government and education institutions, not nationality and tribe which is what we have here in the United States a nation of nationalities and tribes and in dividing our citizens using white and black any descendent of European ancestry is the Personification of the so-called white (Superior) American psychologically and any American with African ancestry the personification of the so-called Black(Inferior) American psychologically two words having nothing to do with physical characteristics and everything to do with the psychological impact these words have on the mind of human beings. an economic tool used to control The basic needs food clothing and shelter as American European businessmen commodity. And now the American economies, cash flow
I was 8 years old...we felt the shock and disbelief...but, as children I don't think it made us afraid...I remember for weeks afterward there was NOTHING on TV that didn't concern this...
I look forward to checking out this book!
great educational presentation.
