American Civil War (Remastered Edition) - Manny Man Does History

[@Calgacus7]

Hey good job getting the emancipation proclamation right. It freed only the slaves that still resided in Confederate territory at the time of Jan of 1863. However it should have been mentioned that the Lincoln actually announced the proclamation right after the battle of Antietam. Lincoln was waiting for a major victory in the war before he proclaimed emancipation. This was both a personal achievement for Lincoln since he abhorred slavery to begin with. And it was also strategic, in order to keep European powers from entering the war; whom of course, also detested the practice of slavery, and would not intervene in a war to end it.

[@stephenandersen4625]

Lincoln was very scrupulous about his authority in areas that were not in rebellion. He couldn’t free the slaves in those areas because the constitution was still fully in force there and he didn’t have the authority

While the reasons for the American Civil War (ACW) are less relevant to the rest of the world (even though the whole slavery thing is arguably relevant to the world as a whole), the fact that this was the first war with many 'modern' tools like trains and the like makes this a conflict worth studying for other cultures.

[@PhillyPhanVinny]

What the US did to Native Americans was not genocide by any definition (the dictionary or the UN definition) as is claimed in this video. The US government and the civilians of the US did not seek the deliberate killing of Native Americans because of their ethnic group. There were many "wars" between the US military and civilian conflicts that were caused by innumerable reasons. None of the reasons were because the population or government sought to destroy Native Americans. I put war in quotations because if you search US wars against Native Americans on google you will see a massive list. But if you actually look into those "wars" you will find that a insanely low percentage are actual wars. In the overwhelming majority of cases the "wars" were single conflicts not often normally involving the US military. If you look into the "wars" you will also find that in the vast majority of the "wars" listed the conflicts are actually started by the Native Americans via raids on American settlements. In addition to this the US treatment of Native Americans was comparatively much better then any other nation in the Americas (even Canada). It should be started by saying that of the population of Native Americans in all of the Americas the population north of Mexico made up a minor population to start with. Those estimates range from 1-5% of all Native Americans living North of Mexico with most estimates actually ranging in the 1-3% area. Which makes since due to the weather and the housing that Native Americans had at the time. With that stated if you then look into what happened in the other European nations colonies the treatment of Native Americans was incomprehensibly worse then their treatment in the territory of the US. And even in those territories South of the US essentially all scientists (I have not seen one disagree with this) agree that the vast majority (more then 90% in all studies) of Native Americans died because of diseases they had no immunity to. These were vastly deadly diseases that people from the Old World had gained immunity from over thousands of years. So when these diseases that had been working to their effectiveness on humans for all that time were brought to the Americas they found a population that had zero immunity to those diseases and thus was able to easily kill off the majority of the population. Lastly, of note on slavery the same thing applies. Slaves taken during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from Africa to the US only equal a less then 3% total sent to the US. For example more then 40% of all the people taken from Africa went to Brazil yet we only always hear about slavery within the US. While slaves were treated much worse in all other lands they were taken to other then the US. Not to mention that slaves had been being taken from Africa to the Middle-East before the start of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and were continued to be taken for long after the end of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The difference in the West is they became the first to actually outlaw slavery and then push for other nations to outlaw it. What is basically never mentioned is the US was still comparatively speaking one of the first nations to outlaw slavery. Slavery which was something that had been a part of human civilization for thousands of years at the point the US outlawed slavery.

[@dovantien713]

Yes, I noticed that as well. The "Genocide" word is to easily thrown around in todays world without knowing what actually qualifies as slavery. What happened in the US to Native Americans was what happened to defeated peoples all over the world including within the US for thousands of years at the point the US was taking over the continent. People never seem to want to look at the ways that Native Americans were living prior to Europeans arriving (and even after). Native Americans fought wars against each other just as much as people all over the world did. And at the point of the US expanding, Native Americans were also still practicing slavery on their own (it was not something Europeans introduced to them) and were practicing a very barbaric form of warfare in the way they treated people they defeated. This including the killing of all defeated peoples including women and children as well as the many other deplorable actions that most of the world had stopped doing by that point in history to defeated enemies.

[@rayferrone4518]

Agreed on both points. Nobody likes to mention that slavery in the US was actually very minor compared to all other American nations as well as in comparison to middle eastern and other Asian nations such as India.

Great video, but my only criticism is that you forgot to include that John Wilkes Booth had planned triple murder to save the South by ordering Lewis Powell to kill Secretary of State William Seward and George Atzerodt to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson. Both of these attempted murders failed as Powell only managed to disfigure Seward at his mansion while Atzerodt got drunk and wandered away, rather than attempting to kill Johnson at the Kirkwood Hotel. Out of all the conspirators, John Wilkes Booth never lived to stand trial. Two weeks later on April 26, 1865, he was fatally shot to death at a tobacco barn by a Union corporal named Boston Corbett. In the coming months, 8 conspirators were tried and the four (Powell, Atzerodt, David Herold, and Mary Surratt) were sentenced to death by hanging. That’s my only criticism of this video. Not being rude.

The Civil War didn't end precisely because Reconstruction was ended prematurely. It just took on a different form. It went underground, which is why the South, and ironically the Republican Party now, are the way they are. In their minds, the war is still raging. Sometimes I feel like things overall would be much better if we had just let the South go.

I’m not sure this can be called the first ‘modern war’. I think that honor should go to the Crimean War

[@PhillyPhanVinny]

So I won't disagree that the US civil war may not be considered the first "modern war". That claim is actually something that is hard to prove since there is not definitive definition of what a modern war is. It could be said that only wars fought in the last 10 years are "modern wars". But in terms of the US civil war compared to the Crimean War I don't think that is a good example because basically everything that happened in the Crimean War happened in the US war in terms of modern combat. I'd actually say the US civil war was a more modern war in that it was a Total War with the whole of each society working to win the war for their side. I don't think the Crimean War was fought to that level (at least not within the UK or France). Then of course the US civil war had the use of trains in it being the first large scale war to use them extensively which was something also used in the Crimean War but to a much smaller level since Russia at the time had very few train lines, train engines or the training to use trains for deployments at a official level.

[@pandastical9205]

@@PhillyPhanVinny I don’t think the definition of a total war *is* modern warfare. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan are modern wars but nowhere are they ‘total wars’. I wouldn’t even say that the US civil war was. If that was true than the CSA would’ve probably conscripted slaves ASAP, and the US would’ve treated the CSA much more harshly. And the fact that a lot of what happened in the Crimean war happened in the civil war is sort of my point. Railroads, advanced firearms technology, more autonomy for soldiers; key traits for modern war. All seen first in Crimea. I think the US Civil War is a great example of an early ‘modern war’. And I do think the description is hard to pinpoint; after all the ‘modern period’ counts back to 1776. But I don’t think it can be called the first

[@brandonlyon730]

I guess in fairness, the Russian Empire was pretty far behind in industrialization and still applied many outdated tactics that might’ve worked against the equally behind Ottoman Empire, whereas the British and French were the most advanced nation in the world at the time and maintained the upper-hand for most of the war. So the impact against technology was not as big compare to the US civil war.

So then there was some more expansion, until the year 1914 where a giant eroupian war erupted which everyone thought would be the last war ever (IT WAS NOT) and in 1917 we entered it on the side of britian and france (who were allies now apperently), also in this war russia became communist which will be important later, The point is Germany lost and basically collapsed giving rise to "national socialists" which were... Bad to put it lightly, so a new war started in 1939 and in 1941 the Japanese empire attacked us so we joined the war, the germans and japanese lost, there were a lot of trials and executions and we found that they worked to death over 6 million jews in giants prison camps, so now the world was devided between us and russia (still communist) and the cold war was declared. eroupe let all their colonies become independent, korea was split in 2, China and french Indochina became communist countries, the jews went back to israel and that started some wars, eroupe was split in 2, lots of wars in africa, a chrisis in cuba, all the while both sides possessed giant bombs that could destroy a city in 1 go. And then in 1991 the russia collapsed into a bunch of smaller states (1 of them was still russia) and the cold war ended. America became the worlds only superpower and hopes were high until 2003 when some angry muslim terrorist crashed a plane (a giant piece of metal that burns fuel to fly) Into 2 big towers we built in new York and to the pentagon (the nation's main military command post). so "the war on terror" was begun, we invaded iraq and Afghanistan to capture a man named Osama bin Laden who we thought was behind these attacks and both invasions went great until we occupied these countries and everything started collapsing until we pulled out of them.

Technically yes. It’s not as if the confederacy were like “oh well, I guess you’re all free now!” They still held onto them, but legally they were now free under the US. If they escaped, they would not be held as contraband.
