Sad she was estranged from her last living son ☹️

You're an excellent narrator Sir❤

This presentation shows well the root couse of the Seccession crisis about 1860 election was the slavery! Except for Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina Lincoln was on the balot in the border states and Missouri gave more than 10% and Delaware gave about 24% to Lincoln. Very interesting the nowdays West Virginian's county Hancock almost was won by Lincoln, only a few votes were missed! Kentucky gave about 1% to Lincoln, so eternal shame for the South Lincoln was not on the balot in 10 slave system states!

Hard to believe I was born on JULY 18, 1963. 100 Years after!! Now 61 a 100 years doesn’t seem so far off!! And look at us now!! I guess it’s True what a friend of mine said 50 years after YOU Die NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW YOU WERE HERE or for that much CARE or GIVE 2 SHITS!!!

he wasn’t gay, he just had men in his bed that’s it

What always baffles me about the Civil War and everything I watch or read about the war and the central issue of slavery…. Is the Fact that slavery was referenced in the Constitution and therefore made it legal throughout the country. (As wrong as it was). So, Regardless of any proposed laws to abolish the practice, they would have been null and void as prescribed by the Constitution… “any law that contradicts the Constitution is immediately null and void”, because the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. ONLY a passing and ratification of a constitutional amendment could legally abolish slavery. And this only took place AFTER the war was ended. It appears that politicians during that time were just as ignorant or irresponsible as politicians of today. - Believing they have the authority and power to make any law they choose, based on emotions and popularity rather than the Constitution. The USA is a Republic = a nation of Laws, Not a Democracy = a nation of men with usual misguided popularity.

Sherman blundering on the battlefield...who woulda thunk...

Johnsons ineptitude can still be felt today

Yes they elected a maniac in who sent 700,000 Americans to a slaughterhouse. Whaddaguy!,

Her disdain for others and desire for attention got it's start as a child with her name being switched up so that her little sister could be at the center of the family's love.

I would have to believe that farmers would know their left from the right more than others back then because of all the work that had to be done on the farms, you had to have a good sense of direction on how to move work and pull things in different directions. Very interesting. You do a very good job and I enjoy all the videos! My family fault for the confederacy in a North Carolina regiment😃 i’m proud of my ancestors and how honorably they fought for their land and their families! It’s a shame that the war ever had to happen.

Best 1860 video out there. I recommend playing campaign trail for all who haven’t

God bless her soul...she experienced enormous trauma and tragedy in her life

Still...I appreciate your efforts

Overly melodramatic narration...the actual history is certainly dramatic enough!! Unfortunately David McCullough is gone from us but had a much more pleasant voice for narration

Thankyou for this excellent podcast.

These victories also led to the severing of major Confederate supply arteries at Corinth and Vicksburg.

Why do we as a people ALLOW being "taught" by "historians" HIS/ STORY I NEVER see folks say a word against things.. SWALLOW wholesale EVERY thing we are "taught" Education NOT school, should be our motto - BUT no..... 99.9% just nod heads all along the way.

Very important victories. 🇺🇸

This is being told in the form of Dan Carlin. Makea me want Dan Carlin GPS voice.

The two women meeting on the battlefield is incredible. I hadn't heard of this before, thanks for sharing.

I want to hear more of this fine speaker.

"Disturbing days in the history of our democracy" Are upon us this minute, and history will have a dark opinion of those bold insurrectionists.

General Thomas...Overlooked, Insulted, Ignored...Should have been where Sherman found himself...later. General Thomas was a beloved general to his men. General Thomas was a native Virginian, and distrusted in Congress. A sad loss of trust in the Civil War...Thomas was a general who never lost a battle, and who wanted his men to be trained, fed, equipped before battle...an anomaly in that time...He was sidelined, and could have helped to end the war in victory if only Grant would have let him.

You are amazing!!!

Very well done.

Go blue

Damned Yankees. Actually destroyed what the Union was. Lincoln was a bloodthristy tyrant.

Its called Billy Goat Hill

We might as well bring the profession back and regulate it

The 'greatest' Presidents list put him way too far down the list. Easily top 5 or 6.

Soft on crime even back then.

We owe so much to VanDorn today.

I live in Spfd and have been here since 2008. I love this history and also have been to Wilson Creek. Always wanted to see the reenactment but have not had the chance? I love Spfd!

Gentlemanly treason

wow. what an interesting story for film

My Great Great Uncle was Alfred Wilson. He was hung after being captured during his participation in the Great Train Chase. He was from Palmory OH

GRANT KNEW THAT CONFEDERATES WERE AMERICAN AS WELL☦️🇱🇷🇷🇺😎

Andrew Johnson was as bad or worse than L.B. J. of the same last name. Hi s visage reflects that sentiment. As does that of J.R. Bribem of a later date.

The first mosh pit! 19:20.

Thanks for the fantastic story!

No mention of Lincoln's people promising to use the military to enforce the Morrall Tarriff Act which ensured war was to come.

You can win the war one way or another... but removing the ability to wage war is a 100% chance at success.

I have that book in my library.

I very much appreciate the deep dive into an easily overlooked aspect of our collective history!

the original war criminal
