Logic doesn't work on lost causers. They'd probably call discontent slaves confused, bad apples, or misled by abolitionists. Sigh >_

@@George_M_ You can say that again. Another thing about Lost Causers that I find so baffling is that they insist that the Confederates did NOT fight the Civil War to defend slavery, yet the entire premise of the Lost Cause with respect to slavery is in its defense, i.e. it was benign, it was in the best interest of blacks to be enslaved, etc. Make it make sense?

Why bother with apologists for slavery? Anyone who can somehow find enslavement to be acceptable has already donated their humanity to some other dimension. One cannot accept logic, let alone compassion, if they have surrendered their humanity.

@@marsthatdamnrebel Very well said. It never fails to baffle me that people's pride and egos are so fragile that they would hesitate to denounce outright something so corrupt and evil.

​@@ashakir622 There is some truth to every lie. Of course the Civil War was about slavery, at least this was core issue for most people. The Confederate States however were not just a carbon-copy of the Union with slavery. The "state's rights" meme is actually somewhat true in that states under the Confederacy were granted a lot more autonomy, which in the end bit them in the ass since their cohesion as a country was not anything near the Union on top of being technologically and logistically inferior. You could say the Union winning the Civil War is what put America on the path to becoming a world power and an idea of a "collection of states" became shadowed by "the Union".

Patricia W thanks for saying this. That was my immediate thought after hearing that at the end. While poetic in its intent the vast majority of these slaver holders went on to live their lives as they chose to live it. Not so for these and so many other black people who happened to be born at the wrong time.

Well..it's difficult to not honor men who were slave holders as Washington among others were such. If the names of men who fought and died for freedom can be remembered, i think our nation could be stronger, if we accept them as our own.

Brian Peck well it also depends on what we collectively think of as them as freedom fighters or heroes. In Louisiana there are still names of streets still named after the “brave” plantation owners, but not even one memorial or group recognition of these slaves fighting against their oppressors.

Matt, Yesterday I read that the remains of Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife will be removed from a Memphis Park where his statue previously stood. This article from CNN details the city’s efforts to remove Confederate monuments from three of the city’s parks and the lawsuit filed by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which was recently dropped. (www.cnn.com/2020/05/13/us/nathan-bedford-forrest-body-to-be-moved-trnd/index.html) As Forrest was a slave trader, first Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan and the Confederate General who ordered the slaughter of surrendered black Union soldiers at Fort Pillow, it seems appropriate that the city that was the scene of the tragic Memphis riots in 1866 should be spared another reminder of the Confederacy. In the September 2019 issue of The Atlantic there is an article entitled, “There Are No Nostalgic Nazi Memorials,” (www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/germany-has-no-nazi-memorials/597937/). The author, Susan Neiman, self-described as a Jew from the American South who had lived in Berlin for decades, states, “Germany has no monuments that celebrate Nazi armed forces however many grandfathers fought and fell for them.” The descendants of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht considered their forbears noble men who defended their fatherland, in much the same way that the Confederacy is viewed by its supporters today. It took many years to convince the German population that those grandfathers did commit warcrimes. Crimes that must be decried so that they are not repeated, especially when the symbols of past are hijacked by groups with less than noble intentions. Pardon my lengthy reply but this is an issue that will be with us for a long time.

Hold Your Own Nuts!! From the sounds of it, they were outside slaves so I doubt they would be let anywhere near his food and water. Also about the ammo, it would've been very hard to get a lot of ammo since they had no steady supply of it besides looting the plantations.

If Andre died then he couldn't have warned the other planters to form a militia, and thus wouldn't have been able to block Deslondes' withdraw. It's possible Deslondes could have lured the US forces into an ambush and defeated them, and perhaps even burned New Orleans. I don't think the United States would abandon Louisiana so we're unlikely to see a second Haiti on the Gulf of Mexico, but he could have lead his escaped slave army into the wilderness to the west or the south and gained freedom for them.

YOU STOLE MY NAME

Thank you so much! It's comments like yours that encourage me to keep making these!

Perhaps Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta will

The truth about why there's no one interested in this account of history is safely tucked away in the subtlety of the soft language used in this oral essay. Producing a movie about a slave insurrection would be too close to an admission of guilt. Especially around 60 years before the civil war, Abraham Lincoln and the second draft of the Emancipation proclamation. Noooo we can't be having that now can we.

It's the little things that looks you in the face and challenges your heart to the soul. The rebellion was 200 years ago yet the echo of it rings in ones ears like the bell was stuck seconds ago. Examples: plantation mansions still standing and graves memorialized, streets named after the men that led against the uprising. They are to this day looked at like war heroes. Those fighting for their humanity?! Made examples of. Statues of their heads on pikes, immortalized in their hubris. Forever humiliated for daring to reach out for humanity . . .

I just asked this🤦🏽‍♂️😢😢

Thank you!

Generally speaking the US refused to recognize Haiti fearing that would ups set the south. And the south feard a slave revolt so they double downd by passing stricter laws.

The US destroys Haiti for the successful slave revolt. In addition to occupying Haiti for a number of years, they have enacted policies that crippled Haiti politically and economically. The US, France and others will never forgive Haiti for its revolution.

Remember that the US only purchased the district 7 years before and most of the existing river planters in 1811 were old French&Spanish Creole Blanc and Nior families. Brutality and a thin veneer between tribal, medieval and modern is often seen in these histories on all sides. Most Americans by 1811 had settled above near Baton Rouge and the Bastrop tracts. Another tid bit you may have overlooked: in 1807/8 the US abolished the Trans Atlantic slave trade by an act of Congress (sponsored and signed by Jefferson), simultaneous with the British Wilberforce bill that year. This caused much anger by these Orleans district Creoles planters now Americans. The Lafitte Brothers openly smuggled African slaves 1808 to 1814 through US Navy antislaver blockades. One reason the USN raided and burned their hideout in 1814.

To be fair, Heads on Pikes was a running theme in most of Civil Wars in Latin America. In my country for example after seven months of a siege to a city. The federalist troopes decided to avenge the murder of POWs of the unitarians by taking the unitarian leader alive. Tie him to a horse with his back naked to parade him across the city. Rip his skin from his back, make a poncho with it. And use the fat of his body for a stew...and throw their head on the city until it was given back to the family

@@beverlybalius9303 Unrealistic fantasies about past times is not uncommon. Your average beer swilling Brit could care less about the millions of colonial subjects who were brutally murdered in the name of bringing "civilization" to heathens and mindlessly repeat the line they were indoctrinated in about the Empire being a good thing. Like the author did, listen to the slave narratives and then tell me that it was anything to be proud of.

Putting heads on a pike is a timeless Human tradition of the victor over the vanquished. I also seem to recall hearing in this film how the largest slaveowner in New Orleans was a free man of color. That doesn't fit your narrative, though, does it?

@Rick Quicker Tell me, what is the difference between Law and Justice?

@Rick Quicker Okay. We know that 'Law' is viewed as tool (of sorts) that is 'designed' to help create a stable, orderly society by creating a consistent framework of rules that are designed to regulate our conduct towards one another as well as our conduct towards society as a whole. These 'rules' need to be applied evenly, in a dispassionate and predictable manner in order to protect not only it's own people but the people in nearby locations whether they are counties, states of countries. Justice, on the other hand, is far more complicated and far more subjective. This has meant that many people are unaware that it (Justice) is far more important than Law. It also has a much greater impact on the development of civil societies and it's individuals within those societies. Basically that means Justice transcends Law as it is so much more than a dry shallow legal code purposely crafted as such.. Law is the method or means to an end whereas Justice is the objective. In fact, Justice does not always require Laws. Just as there are Laws that are very unjust. It is a common belief that the primary function of law is to keep 'order' within that society. This is not true at all; it is a myth. Social stability does not require Law, it only requires a monopoly on the application of violence and a willingness to use that force. There is perhaps one concept in jurisprudence that stands apart from most others; '...........Law should ALWAYS be the servant of Justice.................' Therefore any society or nation that purports to have legitimate sovereignty and legal jurisdiction over it's people while it speaks only of 'good order ' rather than what Justice demands and seeks to avoid the application of those Laws through deceit and malice has no standing to bring anyone before the bar' and demand they account for their actions. If that nation has a standard whereupon the value of one man's life is not given an equal standing of another man's life then it's a not a truly sovereign entity. The legal code speaks of murder as an unjust crime which people take to mean that the man who used the ax should be held to account for that....but if we are truly seeking Justice than we need to bring the man (who got axed must go to trial first. I

@Rick Quicker perhaps, it generally depends upon the details, who is involved and how many different outcomes are possible. I do not believe in a fixed and immutable moral code that comes from the 'Divine' . Most people who share the belief that the 'rules of one's conduct are demanded by God no matter the situation or the details of the reality on the ground'. This looms large in the 3 major worldwide religions. I do not agree w/ this, as I've seen that such beliefs have a very real cost,. And for most of those who are closer to that threshold of survival, it can be too high a price. In fact it seems to me that the loudest voices in favor of this type of a moral code are people who want for nothing they need , and they can afford luxury of such beliefs.. Let me ask you a question about Justice and Vengeance, Do you know what one of the biggest differences between them?
