But if they did fight it was individually not in a regiment because it was highly looked down upon for blacks to fight alongside white men in the confederacy. Some generals did see reason and wanted to throw them into the fight but southern racial prejudice in the confederate government prevented this.

However I may just be reacting to this more due to my objection to the actual point you were making. I find that a lot of channels on KZbin have begun to make their political opinions clear, which often means that I do not engage with their content as much, as their are mostly on the left while I am more on the right. The best example of this would be on all the late night shows such as Jimmy Kimmel. I know that I may have overreacted to small point in your video, but I felt like I would just give some feedback.

When I lived in Stafford, Virginia I had to drive to Jefferson Davis Highway,get on Route 1 which goes from Canada to Florida. Drive all the way up to Fredericksburg to work That same area on route 1 was passing Falmouth and there was the washington-rochambeau line is a 680-mile (1,090 km) series of roads used in 1781 by the Continental Army under the command of George Washington and the Expédition Particulière under the command of Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau during their 14-week march from Newport, Rhode Island to Yorktown, Virginia. The route is a designated National Historic Trail with interpretive literature, signs, and exhibits that describe the key role of French diplomatic, military, and economic aid to the United States during the American Revolutionary War. To the right right before I turned to head towards Fredericksburg, there was Robert E. Lee's plantation (Confederate Commander he was also married to the great grand daughter of Martha Washington by her 1st husband, wife if George), I'd drive up the W-A line some more and before I'd get to work is Ferry Farm. George Washington's Childhood home. Its wonderful how much history people drive by everyday and not realize it My nephew was born and raised in VA and had no idea who these people were and what these places mean. In VA they teach you Virginia history before American history (which I think is stupid) and he still had no idea. Im a history and military buff, so I always found it interesting. And yet sad that so many places, in the South are still named after these people. Particularly the Highway. The plantation, line and home I get.

11:27 legal immigrants...

[@richardthinksnot]

If only that were true. The rhetoric says illegals but what is actually being done includes legal asylum seekers. Asylum seekers by law are allowed to stay in the US until they have their day in court and lose and asylum seekers were being blocked at the border way before the corona virus started so not just illegals. Personally I am against illegal immigration and even cutting down on the number of legal immigrants. If that is what we want then by all means change the laws and do it right. However instead of going through Congress to change the law even when the Republicans controlled both houses Trump decided to break the law. That being said even if you are against illegal immigration putting children in cages and not taking care of them properly is just a not something the US should be doing. Anyone who is OK with that is not a Christian no matter what they say. If you want to ignore Jesus's teachings and stick to the Old Testament that is fine but you are not a true Christian. Also if you are OK with it no matter what your religion is then you are a truly horrible person.

[@bmart5302]

@@ThatDragonGuy I don't think he's saying he supports slavery, just the fact that the union also had slaves as well, just they weren't called slaves, they were "indentured servants". Though they still were owned by the corporation or official they worked for a fairly lengthy stretch of time that most likely did not see them surviving their servitude. Though the American Civil War is definitely a war that involved slavery it wasn't a war to keep slaves so much as a war for representation. It really all started in 1820 with the Missouri Compromise. This was a line set at 36° 30 right under the state of Missouri, and stated all states below this line may be slave states while states above are free states. Leaving Missouri and Kentucky swing states. Well as American expansion grew into the late 1800's it became pretty apparent that there was way more land north than south, meaning that as more states become ratified there will be less representation of the southern states as opposed to the nothern states. Now, I know having the whole concept of slavery as your main political party backing is pretty shitty, but there were several other issues that the south was concerned about, a lot of it dealing with the upcoming railroad industry and taxation. All of this, including politicians who can't agree on anything and the free of lack of representation caused the south to secede. During the war both sides committed horrible atrocities towards one another and at the end of the day, even though slavery was abolished, racism and oppression were rampant in both the north and south for many more years to come. I don't believe this gentleman here was necessarily defending slavery, more or less saying its not fair to completely pit one side as a total monster when at the end of the day, the war was all Americans, fighting brother against brother.

They weren't fighting over slaves. The southern states seceded because of slaves, but the fighting was because they had seceded, not over slaves. As Lincoln said "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union." This shows that he was fighting to preserve the Union. Not at all to free slaves

[@IFY0USEEKAY]

True, the war was fought to determine whether or not states had the right to secede from the Union.

[@LunaS043]

It was both to preserve the Union and about Slavery. The south fought to preserve slavery. This is the real facts. Just because Lincoln said a throw away line at the beginning of the war because he wanted to avoid it doesn't negate what the entire was was truly started for. Without salvery there never would have been a civil war. It was all about slavery. For the south especially. They constantly said it in thier articles of secession and in their constitution.

[@austinburtt9640]

I'm a Northerner civil war reenactor and no the civil war wasn't about slavery, it was about states rights to govern themselves because the northern aggression who taxed and put tariffs on the south's tobacco and cotton, also the confederate states put it up to a vote weather or not they should secede from the union, also when the union offered Lee (who actually was against slavery and actually freed all of his slaves that he got from his parents) declined because he knew virginia would secede from the union and he didn't want to kill his fellow virginians, also a lot of C.S.A generals were against slavery like longstreet(Old war horse) and stonewall jackson and everyone knew that slavery would die of natural causes. also Lincoln didn't care if the southern states either kept their slaves or freed them all he cared about was preserving the union heck he wouldn't care if any already established free states would take back slavery again, just none of the new states. and it was lincoln that made it a slavery war in 1863 he needed to give the men a better reason to fight and win the war other then preserving the union so LINCOLN made it about slavery.

I’m from east Texas. Our family during the civil war had trouble, but not the same as some of the other confederate states. We had African Americans working on our farms, but our family was paying them for labor, because it was a small farm and needed extra hands. There wasn’t any towns in that area. It took 5 hours to get to the nearest town, about 30 minute drive nowadays. Our family was staying out of the war and didn’t know when it ended, or who won, until they north took all the workers form our family farm. We eventually lost the farm, because there were no workers. We became farm workers for other people’s farms, because we couldn’t sustain our own now that we didn’t have any workers. That’s how my grandma was born the the attic of a barn. They were farm hands after they lost their farm. All from the north taking away workers from the south. I’m very happy blacks were freed, but the union did it in a very bad way and hurt a lot of the south that wasn’t even involved in the war :(

Simple, the 13 colonies resisted the British Empire, King George wasnt happy, England fought America, America won,on 4th July 1776 George Washington signed the declaration of independence

[@tobyoneil1969]

No Grant was the butcher. The only reason this has any standings is because people think that Lee lost like 25% and grant lost 15%...but they never had the same numbers so it doesnt matter and grant would loose more. So grant would have the less casualty percentage but it meant more men were killed and wounded.

First off just to clarify. The war was not fought over slavery in the beginning. It was fought because the south wanted their independence from the north entirely, and the north invaded to stop it following fort Sumter to put an end to the rebellion. Slavery did not even become part of the equation until January 1863 when the emancipation proclamation was signed. That’s two years. But that was when ending slavery was first considered. Lincoln said he would allow slavery to continue in the southern states so long as it held the Union together.

[@mikecook8712]

The war wasnt fought over slavery...it was fought over tariffs, taxes, and state rights...lincoln even said if he could save the union with freeing a single slave he would do it...get your history right...

[@swaggawagga5235]

mike cook state rights to what? Owning another human

[@mikecook8712]

To be fairly represented in congress...you see with the advent of agricultural machines just 30 to 40 years away most slave owners would have released the slaves because the cost of feeding and housing wouldn't have been profitable... But what did happen was the north levying huge tariffs on imports and exports...and since the south relied heavily on both, they were paying the vast majority of the taxes. This was so prevalent that the south was paying a staggering 60 to 70percent in taxes...and they nearly seceded in 1843 a full 20 years before...they rolled those tariffs back but 20 years later they did the same thing and the south said nope... But not everyone who fought for the south was pro slavery...Robert e. Lee was anti slavery...in fact lincoln offered him command of the union army first...but he was loyal to his state...state loyalists was a huge deal then. But although the man was anti slavery his statues are being removed... History of this incident is there...but teachers have made it about something it wasnt. Lincolns emancipation proclamation wasnt even thought of until 2 years after the start of the war. If this was about slavery it would have been the catalyst not the tariffs... So in closing dont believe what the left is trying to brainwash you into believing...which is hard for me to understand considering the left was the south and slave owners, there has never been a party switch. Its the left propaganda and this video proves it

[@mikecook8712]

@RonPaulHatesBlacks bwahahahahaha....ok...so my masters in history says you're a special kind stupid. And you have drank the kool aid.

[@TigerRifle1]

How were they unfairly represented in Congress? What specifically was denied them? The reality is the South benefited from 30 years of Democratic rule that resulted in low tariffs. From the Compromise Tariff to the Walker Tariff to the Tariff Act of 1857 tariffs were already low and would stayed low had they not seceded. Northern industrial interests repeatedly lost on this issue until the Morill Tariff which only passed because the majority was handed to Senate Republicans when Southerners vacated their seats. It was signed by James Buchanan who had clear ties to protectionist Pennsylvania but the South chose to overlook that in favor of his virtual non-stance on slavery. They could have demanded a more blatant free trade candidate in 1856 but they didn't. A move they didn't hesitate to do in 1860 to get a stronger pro slave candidate. The majority of tariff revenue was collected in the North not the South, specifically the port of NY.

It's weird that you don't seem to get the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL migration. Legal migrants and immigrants tend to be a good thing, because if they weren't beneficial, you wouldn't let them in, unless they're refugees, but most refugees want to pay back their adoptive communities. Illegal migrants and immigrants tend to harm their adoptive communities, either by being an economic burden either because themselves on a community that can't support them, they engage in conduct that harms the community and is therefore illegal, or by making it easier for criminals to get past the borders that are meant to let welcome migrants through, but keep unwelcome migrants out. It's literally the same as the difference between a guest or roommate and a burglar.

lol i hope you know that all the current media focus on "illegal immigrants" are actually on legal immigrants who are here seeking asylum and were jailed, arrested, taken away from families, or forced to stay in the US without being granted asylum

[@DeoVindice999]

And all immigrants came from Europe, all were white, all were Christian, and none received any benefits whatsoever. But he also conveniently forgot that.

[@johnp139]

Was there such a thing as an ILLEGAL immigrant back then?

[@DeoVindice999]

John P Well, the US had laws that explicitly preferred certain groups over others, so there might have been some illegal immigration. Here's an interesting overview of U.S. immigration: www.history.com/topics/immigration/immigration-united-states-timeline
