Joeloveshistory oh so you think the civil war was just about slavery? come on, how do you think the slaves got here? They arrived with big boats off the shore of Africa and started chasing them down? Hey Mitchell, there's one, grab him! How many did we capture today? 35 sir. aye 35, that will be so nice for our collection today. ok load 'em on the boat.. There were many reasons I would have supported the Confederacy, but would have worked to try and stop that and find new ways to support the economy. so don't try to put me in a corner or start an argument when you know nothing about me. Slaves were SOLD by their own people, as I'm SURE you know. Also after the war was over , many of the slaves stayed on the farms because they had a job, were not treated bad and had a home. Of course their were bad owners and one of the end results was they slaves were free to go wherever they chose too. When I say I supported the Confederacy, it doesn't mean I supported everything they were doing. If I had been living during that time, I would have tried to make changes , as hard as that would have been to do. subhuman? etc, oh yeah YOU ARE RIGHT, you GOT me. come off of it.. people in politics know youj don't always support everything your government is doing. Like now, they propose bills.. Democrats and Republicans.. Maybe a bill propsed is set forth by the Republicans.. AND I'm Republican. It doesn't mean I am going to vote on it now does it? I would not have been in favor of slavery. or for calling them awful names. so stop trying to label me as something I am not.

@alexanderhamilton2219 Жыл бұрын
@@justsomedude77 Just because they were built in 1900 to intimidate Black people doesn’t mean that they weren’t “part of the area’s history.” Considering that the Civil War ended in 1865, but that Reconstruction only ended in 1877-1890 (union troops were “returned to their barracks” in 1877, and the very last personnel only physically evacuated in the 1890s), and that the last stages of the beginning of Jim Crow only concluded in circa 1890-1900, it only makes sense that the statues would be built during circa 1890-1900. One reason, war monuments only tend to be built after the generation who fought in the war has aged by 20-40 years, because you don’t need to memorialize a war that is already fresh in your memory, and the commissioning and building of statues are themselves lengthy processes. See also, most World War II memorials in America weren’t built until the 1970s. Second of all, the end of Reconstruction is what officially marked the rehabilitation of the former-Confederate white southern population back into the mainstream White American society and body-politic (especially after 1898, when white southerners fought alongside white northerners in the Spanish-American War); it would have made no sense for memorials to the Confederacy to have been built during the time when the CSA was still a rebellious treasonous program, and when white supremacist militias were still terrorist entities, in the Northern/Federal/mainstream American public consciousness. Third of all, “white supremacy in the South” (and outside of the south) is itself “part of American history,” therefore meaning that Confederate statues would still be “part of the history” of the area in which they were built, even if they were “only built to intimidate black people.” In countries like the Mongolia, Cuba, India, China, and Venezuela, where neither Karl Marx nor Vladimir Lenin ever set foot, there exist statues of those two individuals, which were similarly built decades after those individuals’ lifetimes. Those statues were only ever built to enforce a political ideology and to intimidate political dissidents, not actually merely to memorialize the history of the lives of the subjects of those statues. Yet, those statues are nonetheless also part of the histories of the areas in which they were built, because the history of which ideologies and regimes were in power at different times, as well as which ideologies were popular at different times, is part of an area’s history. Third of all, many (not all, not most, but many) of the confederate statues built during or after 1900 were built in cities outside of the south, mostly in the West, which were predominantly settled after 1890-1900 and of which the first non-indigenous settlers (or at least the first to arrive after 1890-1900) were white southerners, and so of course they wouldn’t build a monument to their history in their new community until after they moved to their new community.

@@alexanderhamilton2219 exactly monuments are put up for political reasons, active commemoration and intimidation being among them. That doesn’t mean we can’t take down monuments. Most communist monuments at least within Russia were relocated to monument park. When did I say a monument wasn’t part of an areas history? It is part of the history… just commemorating the worst part of it, hence why they should be taken down and put in a museum or park.

This is almost perfect. The narrator, like so many US Civil War enthusiasts, mispronounces "secession" as "succession". Secession is what 11 states did when they seceded from the union of states. They didn't "succeed" at anything other than 600,000 + casualties of war. By the way, I'm from East TN which didn't even want a convention on secession to take place. Unfortunately, we were outvoted by middle and west TN. TN was the last state to secede, and the first state to rejoin the Union. We wanted, like West VA, to rejoin as the state of East Tennessee, but it didn't happen. (NOT to be confused with "The State of Franklin" movement, which happened long before "the late unpleasantness".) #RALLYROUNDTHEFLAGBOYS

I know Confederate states espoused slavery as a reason for secession, and it's often claimed it was their primary reason, but why were they worried about it? As far as I've seen there wasn't exactly writing on the wall that slavery was going to end any time soon and in negotiations before the war to convince them to remain they were offered by the Union a guarantee to indefinitely continue slavery. Slavery didn't even end until months after the war, and Lincoln said his main goal for the war was the preservation of the Union and slavery was inconsequential compared to that goal. What had the Confederates thinking it was going to end and so worried about it? Why did the poor and just not rich who comprised the overwhelming majority of Confederates and had no slaves and couldn't afford them even if they wanted so incensed as to fight for the Confederacy when slavery was of no real importance to them and even a negative considering it took away potential jobs?
@alexanderhamilton2219 Жыл бұрын
The “writing on the wall” was the presidential election of 1860, where Lincoln won the electoral vote even though he lost over 60% of the popular vote, simply because he won over 50% absolute majorities of the vote in enough northern free states (all of them other than California, New Jersey, and Oregon) to win the electoral vote (even if you took away his electoral votes from California and Oregon, where he won by plurality, and from NJ, where he won some but not all of the electoral votes because of the direct election of presidential electors). Even though Lincoln was *NOT* an abolitionist, as you correctly pointed out, he *was* relatively anti-slavery compared to all the other major candidates. Therefore, his victory demonstrated that white southerners were not a large and powerful enough group to prevent anti-slavery politicians from taking over the federal government. The reason why poor whites opposed abolitionism is because the abolition of slavery would have unleashed the black population into free white life, and poor whites did not want to endure the consequences of having to deal with a bunch of freed blacks in society.
