here is matt walsh desperately trying to carve out a niche for himself wonder why eight percent of high school students uh only know that the supreme the civil war was fought because of slavery here's matt walsh wants to bring that number down to four percent now we should also note that some of the confederate statues quote unquote and and the phrase confederate statue here is a little bit of a of uh is a little misleading because many of these statues memorialize men who served in congress after the war was over okay a statue of wade hampton was sent by south carolina for example he opposed secession but remained loyal to his state when it seceded and became a brigadier general of the cavalry for the confederates in the three decades that he lived after the war he served as governor u.s senator and railroad commissioner joseph wheeler was sent by alabama he joined the confederate army eventually rose to the closet but so he was but he was put up there because he was railroad commissioner we put a statue wade hampton was one of the most uh the wealthiest slave owners of the confederacy before this the um war broke out so he he was against secession because it was bad for his giant business of like forcing slaves to work on his plantation and then he led like a huge cavalry because he had the wealth to do that and then after the war came and everyone got back put um let bygones be bygones and said let's get together again and you know come together for the sake of this country yeah he got he was back into the you know governing structure of this country 335 slaves by 1860. yeah he was he was the wealthiest hampton was and where was he from what uh state was the governor south carolina incidentally go back and listen to what we have talked about during reconstruction the massacres that took place in south carolina the attacks on uh on on on black politicians in the black political class he may have came up actually with hampton yeah i i i suspect this guy was actually involved in the i don't know what we call this the restoration of white supremacy the restoration of white supremacy during reconstruction continue seceded and became a brigadier general of the cavalry for the confederates in the three decades that he lived after the war he served as governor u.s senator and railroad commissioner joseph wheeler was sent by alabama he joined the confederate army eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant general then after the war became a lawyer and eventually a politician he served in the house from 1881 all the way until 1900 these are not all people who are known to history solely as members of the confederacy many of them had distinguished careers after the fact that they were members of the confederacy as a reflection of the fact that they lived in the south so what congress is saying today is that southern states simply are not allowed slave owners massive slave owners massive slave owners
that they were members of the there i mean undoubtedly there were people who lived in the south who did not fight for the confederacy and there were slaves that revolted put up a statue of some of them well they put matt turner in there they didn't serve in congress for 19 years boy but if we had a slow we would we put up a statue for every person who served in congress for 19 years are you kidding me there would be no room for actual members of the house everybody would be a statue but continue with this guy and this guy's really like just this isn't just uh matt walsh's normal stupidity this is he's running some real interference here from some uh you know all-stars of uh slave owners uh many of them had distinguished careers after the fact that they were members of the confederacy as a reflection of the fact that they lived in the south so what congress is saying today is that southern states simply are not allowed to honor anyone who lived in or served.
