It's 2020, and we're home from school. My history teacher sends us work and links to these 2016 videos. Lol

THIS GUY SAVED MY US HISORY GRADE

The rise of Abe Lincoln.

Such a wonderful, factual, unbiased account. Most gloss over the fact there were multiple factions and a myriad of views on both sides of the civil war and the slavery issue. I'm sickened when people create monoliths out of the North and the South. It dumbs down our history and just isn't right. Thanks so much for making this so well balanced.

Good video man keep up the good work. I always look forward to your American history videos and law stuff!

I love your vids man good job!

Again, if teachers make history come alive the way you do, every student (those that are asleep) will get an A. It is vivid and alive.

this man blinking aggressively

love ur videos keep it up

That picture of Samuel Chase is inaccurate. The picture you used is of my ancestor, Samuel Chase, judge of the Supreme Court of the United states, who died in 1811. I believe you were talking about Samuel P. Chase. I apologize for me pointing out your mistake, it happens. I was just confused to see a picture of my ancestor in a video past his death date. Sorry again, I don't mean to be rude. I hope this doesn't anger you by any means.

Lincoln was our greatest president , idk how anyone can argue otherwise .

Thank you sir, very cool

Good work

Institutions continued to divide over slavery, and when the Democratic divided, there were no more intersectional institutions left. This concept should be taught in every collegiate class.

03:46 I think it was Salmon Portland Chase, not Samuel Chase

Good video thanks

Thank you for this! You helped me write my essay!

I dig the phrase "where energy goes" attention flows" it's 2022 is Hip still doing these videos ?

Imagine if this fell into the House of Representatives. 1824 would look positively civil

Keith, do you think we might be seeing a similar situation to where the Whigs were back then(divided.) Do you think the Republican Party will adapt to Trump, or will it fade into obscurity? Interesting times!

The holding of the Dred Scott decision was that blacks, whether free or slave, were not citizens. Thus, Dred Scott did not have standing to bring his lawsuit in federal court. Had the Court stopped at that point, probably, it would not have been controversial. But the Court went on to decide the case as if it had jurisdiction, and declared, in obiter dicta, that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the territories, which hardened views all around and sped the onset of the Civil War.

Thank you! This election shaped contemporary history

The Democratic National Convention was a complete firey trainwreck that year; not only did you have three conventions, but two separate tickets: this effectively handed the election to Lincoln before the votes were cast. Also, the Northern Democratic convention did not select a running mate for Stephen Douglas - Senator Benjamin Fitzpatrick of Alabama declined the VP nomination after he had been the only one on the ballot (William Alexander of New Jersey dropped out). Douglas offered the VP nomination to Herschel Johnson at the end of the convention, which Johnson accepted.

Thanks for getting me into College!

Regarding the Democrat vote being split: If we would add up Breckinridge´s and Douglas's votes, they would have enough to win all of Bell's states, but from Lincoln they'd only take California and Oregon, so still lose 173 to 130.

And thanks a lot to all the people who voted Lincoln in 1860. They made history! I voted rajoy in spain in 2011, he is more or less our Lincoln

Really well done video

The only thing we learn from history...is that we don't learn from history...

why does he blink so much

Lincoln was not apart of the free soil party he was apart of the whig party I know this because I watched a biography on him

The question that keeps me up at night is: What if US Senator Douglas Won?

There is a typo at 6:25

James Buchanan was president 1857-61. He was NOT the worst president, but certainly among the bottom of the below average.

Can you do the confederate presidential election.

who were the opponent I can't see them

Said Oregon incorrectly and mistook Samuel Chase for Salmon P. Chase in the span of 10 seconds.

I wish Sam Houston could've been president. He would have been the only president to have been president of another nation.

I love how Lincoln is one of the best presidents and yet he did the absolute worst in the popular vote out of any victor

Did they keep 2 states votes out of this election?

why put up a map and stand in front of it ?

Andrew johnson did not support either breckinridge or douglas, but union canidate john bell...ironically he would end up being the 4th mans vice president 4 years kater

Maybe we should have left the South secede?

Tbh I don't understand what he said???

I'm just watching this cuz I love history lol

mr griffin students?

Samuel Chase? Don't you mean Salmon P Chase? Samuel died in 1811.

Even if all votes lincoln didn't get where combined he would win with 169 electoral votes but lost the popular vote by over 20 points

*13 Keys to the White House (1860 Edition):* 1. *The President's Party gained seats in Congress in the last midterm.:* False (The Republicans won the House for the first time ever in history.) 2. *No competitive primary contest in the President's Party.:* False (It was so contnencious, that the Democratic Party split into two.) 3. *The Incumbent President seeking re-election.:* False (Buchanan was so unpopular, that he didn't even campaign for re-election.) 4. *No strong third party candidates.:* False (Not only did the Southern Faction split from the party and nominate their own candidates, but the Constitutional Union Party was formed on a platform to stop secession.) 5. *The economy is not in recession in 1860.:* True (The economy was still going strong, thanks to the new land they just won.) 6. *We'll see economic growth in the long term.:* False (The country was breaking up, so the economy was about to fall apart.) 7. *Major policy changes:* True (Buchanan's support of Dred Scott showed the Democratic Party's attitude shift towards slavery.) 8. *No social unrest:* False (Pro-Slavery movements were on the rise in the South, and were hell-bent at destroying America.) 9. *No scandals:* True (James Buchanan, despite not being a compitent President, wasn't embroiled in scandal at all.) 10. *No foreign/military policy failures:* False (The Mormon War was a disaster for America.) 11. *Major foreign/military policy successes:* True (The Pig War was handled well, with both the US and UK armies holding San Juan Island in a joint military occupation.) 12. *Charasmatic incumbent:* False (I would give them the point if the Democrats picked only one candidate and now two.) 13. *Uncharasmatic challenger:* False (Do I even need to say anything?

to the south. So they obviously didn’t like it if someone was just taking their money or just losing their money. 2. What would make a northerner participate in the Underground Railroad? Their family could be slaves and they want to help them out or even the slaves could repay them in a way, like with money or other things. Another reason why they would participate in it is because they dislike slavery and they just want to help out the slaves. (Northerners were made to help capture slaves, wether they wanted to or not, this made them angry.) 3. What did the South get in this compromise (1850)? Why was this important to Southerners? The south got the fugitive slave act, the fugitive slave act is when the south can go into North American and get their slaves back and capture them because “They are their property.” This is important because slaves could just escape to the north and just be free but then the south would lose money from that so it is important to the south because they get their property back and their money back. Did not need a warrant No trial by jury Federal Commissionists -10.00 per slave 5.00 if the were acquitted. 4. What did the North get in this compromise? Why was this important to Northerners? North-California admitted as a free state-slave trad abolished in D.C.. North South California free state for the rest of the Who do you think “won” the compromise? Why? 5. What was the Fugitive Slave Act? What was its impact? The fugitive slave act was basically someone could get their slave back even if they were in the free land.The impact was that people could go into free land and take slaves and the north hated it. 6. Did the Fugitive Slave Act achieve the South's goal of stopping the underground railroad? No, there were still people who would help out the slaves, but many of them didn’t because they didn’t want to go to jail. 7. Why do you think that the Fugitive Slave Act made Northerners who weren't abolitionists angry? They were mad because they didn’t believe in having slaves. Other Northerners were mad because they were being told that they had to legally help southerners retrieve their runaway slaves. 8. What was the reaction of Northerners who read Uncle Tom's Cabin? 300,000 copies It was popular in the north, it made people realize the horror of what slaves go through. I brought up issues of slavery. 9. What did the South think about the Uncle Tom's Cabin? They felt that the story was exaggerated. They were angry about the loss in slaves. 10. There are many causes of the Civil War but why do you think Lincoln said that the author was “the little old lady who started this great big war”? Harriet Beecher stowe wrote the book “Uncle toms cabin” and it became a best seller and caused people to realize.

Funny Lincoln list was forbade in some Southern areas, so we learnt Lincoln did not get many vote in the South it might be he would have got some, if the people could have voted for him. In Missoury (slave state) Lincoln got the 10% of the vote and Lincoln got some votes in Kentucky and Maryland (slave states) about 1000-2000. It doesn not matter he became the winner, but these vote lost forever.

To be honest, I would have voted for Douglas and not Lincoln.

In view of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, quoted at 8:57, how long would North and South have stared at each other if the South had not attacked Fort Sumter? Would the United States and the Confederate States eventually have reached peaceful coexistence? Consider Cuba. The Communist government undoubtedly views Guantanamo to be as much of an insult to its sovereignty as the Confederacy thought Fort Sumter was to its sovereignty. Yet, Castro, demonstrating that he has far more intelligence and common sense than Jefferson Davis, never attacked Guantanamo, because he knew Cuba would then be reduced to a bubbling oil slick. Lincoln, of course, knew that the Southerners were hotheads, and that it would just be a matter of time. And he was right.

Hi Aaron

SCREW THIS WHY AM I HERE?????????? WTF?

Dude...it wasn't about the s word

How is this video relevant to December 2023? Colorado decides to remove Trump from the ballot and then here we are with another history lesson. Let's go Trump 2024!!

ORGON

U look like muselk

Bernie winning could make history repeat.

The Confederate Battle Flag is not racist, it's real name is the Saint Andrew's cross battle flag and only has religious symbolism.

LONG LIVE THE CONFEDERACY

Uh, you forgot about an other very very important item, that was the catalyst for Lincoln's war, The Morrill Tariff, n the previous egregious taxations imposed on the southern states, also the fact that the northern states were getting pissed at having to pay above average import taxes on southern goods coming back from Europe, if they'd just paid fair market value for the goods in the first place to the south! Plus, the North didn't want the south to gain an economic foothold in world trade! Slavery was never the primary issue for the war of northern aggression! It was economics and unfair taxation!

The little giant got 4th. Omg
