You have fallen for propaganda. Lincoln outlined his plan at the Union Speach. If the South stayed in the Union slavery would one day be outlawed everywhere because Lincoln was going to make sure that territories were free, not slave, Before They were admitted to the Union as States. Obviously slaveholders did not take their business into free territories. And free men in free territories did not Vote to have legal slavery when they became a state. If we're no more over using, then at least because they didn't have to compete with slave labor and therefore makes slave wagers. On the other hand, if a territory was ruled as slave before it was admittedi, Remember tended not to go there Because Wages would be so low. Therefore slave territories filled up one only with people closely tied to slave holding businesses. Lincoln figured out that the presidential power to decide how territories were ministered would Eventually filled the US senate with anti-slavery senators, making a constitutional amendment to outlaw slavery possible. But if the South were allowed to secede, They would forever be beyond the power of the non-0:26 slave States to influence., And if the salt had been patient, the Supreme Court would have ruled succession constitutional. There was no doubt of that The South ruined their chance at independence, thank God, by pyrenon Fort Sumpter. Is that changed the issue from 'secession', to 'rebellion'... And rebellion was specifically in the Constitution as Something the government could put down by force. 0:26

Oh well, censor me; cancel me, call me a bigot or some silly thing, but what happened happened. Yes, slavery was a big part of the historical backdrop. Slavery had a big direct influence on the alienation that some leading personalities in southern states felt toward the big northern electoral powers. However, just the slave issue itself was not what directly led to the secession. What led directly to the secession of South Carolina was the election of Lincoln, who represented a minority party, to be the national President of all of the states. South Carolina nearly had seceeded back in 1832 in the time of President Jackson. The main issue first was high tariffs and then President Jackson's threatening attitude started running a close second. It was believed, very correctly, that President Lincoln would not consider the needs, interests, and fears of the south on any issue, slavery being principal amongst them. Once South Carolina did seceed, the gulf states all joined in solidarity primarily for the same reasons but also because they knew that South Carolina, standing alone, would be summarily over-run by US troops much like President Jackson had threated to do three decades before. When Lincoln actually did grossly exceed his authority by levying bloody war against the seven separated states, the seven were joined by four more and elements within Missouri, Kentucky, , and Maryland. By the way, Lincoln himself owned and worked four slaves as household staff in the White House. Slavery had been illegal in the District of Columbia since 1850. He kept them all upstairs and out of sight when visitors came.

Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Шаг держит старый Джон. Джон Браун верен клятве и доблестный герой, Канзас тому свидетель: за права стоял горой. Пусть камень могильный увит травой, Но путь расчистил Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Но путь расчистил Джон. Он занял Харперс Ферри с девятнадцатью людьми, Плантаторы Виргиньи им напуганы вельми. Повешен, как предатель жесткосердыми зверьми, Рукой иуды Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Рукой иуды Джон. Джон Браун суть Предтеча, возвестил приход Христов. «Се грядёт Спаситель, Тот, кто родом из рабов. Лишится вскоре сонный Юг невольничьих оков!» - Пророчил вещий Джон. Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Пророчил вещий Джон. С тех пор, как вызов брошен, закипел кровавый бой, Ввысь взметнулся флаг Союза красно-бело-голубой, А гимн звучит над битвою ликующей трубой: Зовёт к свободе Джон! Слава, слава, аллилуйя! Зовёт к свободе Джон! О, воины свободы! Пока достанет сил, На схватку с угнетеньем юных душ направьте пыл! Угасая, старый Браун сердца воспламенил, В них вечно бьётся Джон! Слава, слава, аллилуйя!

So. If John Brown was the "John the Baptist" of the bondsmen, who is their Christ? Is this a reference to Lincoln? Puts us in mind of the latter Battle Hymn of the Republic version w/ Christ being "...born across the sea..." & all of us being called upon to "...as he died to make men holy, let us died to make men free."
@thenewcatgirl2727 Жыл бұрын
It could mean a number of things. Perhaps the Christ is reference to the army of the Union as a collective, or perhaps they indeed refer to Lincoln, with the Union army in the role of the angels of the Lord. Who do you think the Christ is, in this metaphor?

@@thenewcatgirl2727 Well, maybe Christ is the Christ of this song. The author perhaps simply meant that John Brown was doing God's work? If anyone thinks this language is over-the-top, they should review the actual lyrics to the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Language taken directly from the Revelation of St. John (the apostle this time).

Inspired by @kandymich4861 I just had to post this run down of how the Republican party was formed and then basically traded places with the Democratic party. It's a little more complicated and I'm sure you'll tell me how, but here it is in about 170 years of song form. I wrote every single of word of it, and the music, too. So please give me some credit if you make some weird AI version of it or something. Thanks for listening! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJLKenefoK5ompo

@@TaxFraudCommitter correct I am one of the socialist who uses it, but economics aside Solidarity Forever calls for unionizing as a way to maintain workers rights. Now you could say that means that it is pro syndicalist, but socialists say it because we support workers rights. Two separate issues. We also on the whole support the fight against racism and like Brown and Lincoln. It’s doesn’t sully their names that we have admiration for them. My point here is that socialists are going to support a lot of things and even if you disagree with us economically you shouldn’t just push against something simply because we support it.

@@skinnyjasper3097 I see your point. I mostly agree with the general message of the song. However, the song still is associated with and used by socialists, and I find it disrespectful that a song dedicated to one of the greatest freedom fighters of all time has someone in the comments singing the tune of a song associated with an ideology that has caused the death and oppression of millions.

The Civil War was fought over slavery. I read the Congressional Record for the time leading up to Ft Sumpter. The Southern congressmen talked of 2 things, their right to own, sell and buy human beings. That and the inherent superiority of whites over blacks. No mention of states rights ( except to own Slaves), no mention of agrarian v industrialized economies, no mention of tarries. Just slavery. A Mercian chattel slavery was hideous. Families were separated. Young women were raped by their owners and the children were later sold. There were whippings and murders. We fought the worst war in our nations history to stop this evil which infested our country.

If you imagine that the evils of slavery and slavery itself is a thing of the past that ended with the defeat of the Confederacy, you are soon to be shocked down to your foundatons. With no help and much resistance from the mainstream/lamestream fake media, the awful truth about human trafficking over the US southern border is gradually coming out. You will be amazed at the scale and the cruelty of it. You will be amazed at who in the national government has been paid off by the drug and human trafficking cartels.
