The Civil War: American Masterclass with Historian David Barton | Louder With Crowder

[@True77]

I'd listen to this guy all day long talk about American history. This series has been fantastic. Genuine thank you for making these.

[@muchadoaboutkovu]

It’s weird.. I have lived in the north all my life and we were always taught that the north were heroes by ending slavery and they tend to demonize the confederate army. But to say “many men in the south joined the fight not for slavery but because the north invaded the south”.. that is what I’d expect my family to do if we were invaded. Policies aside, that is such a tragic yet heroic thing to do.

[@SoloRenegade]

which makes it all the more brilliant that Lincoln pardoned the South to heal wounds and get back to being a united nation. And after WW1 the US advised UK/France to likewise forgive Germany, they refused....giving us WW2. After WW2, the US once again followed Lincoln's example and forgave the Germans and Japanese and ushered in the greatest period of peace and prosperity in human history. All due to the legacy of Lincoln.

[@nunyabusiness6691]

​@@SoloRenegadeLincoln was the one who goaded the South into firing the first shot despite several in his cabinet instructing him to leave well enough alone. You talk about him being brilliant but he was a tyrant who had entire Southern cities burned to the ground. The legacy of Lincoln led to the normalcy of the rise of the power of the federal government and then overstepping their bounds.

[@GTGibbs]

@@SoloRenegadeThanks for sharing it with us.

[@Luke23453]

SoloRenegade makes an excellent point. However we have countless letters from ordinary confederate soldiers who professed that their reason for fighting was the potential abolition of slavery as they saw it as an insult to status of white supremacy even if they didn't own any slaves themselves. This doesn't change the fact that most of the north was also heavily racist and white supremacist at the time but you're deluding yourself if you don't think most confederates knowingly and willingly fought to defend slavery.

[@calebbearup4282]

It's also important to remember that several of the states didn't leave the union until the North declared war on the south. They felt that the best course of action was to stay within the union until the North broke what they thought the law was prohibiting what the federal government was allowed to do Ok adding for clarification. When Lincoln called up troops in order to send them into southern states in order to suppress the "rebellion" several states also then opted to secede as a result of them believing that the federal government had no legal authority to do so. Was it an official declaration of war? No It was however the action of engaging in warfare against the states that were what triggered the second round of secession

[@ws-ss8ks]

The Corwin Amendment and Morrill Tariff are all you need to know about Lincoln's motivation. He wanted the South to pay the tariff to fund his buddies in the steel and railroad industries.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

Dude, the South itself told us the war was largely about slavery. The historian explained that by pointing out that in what were essentially their declarations of independence by seceding states, they gave slavery as a cause. The tariff business was mostly sorted out by 1860.

[@ArcherBro]

@@ZIEMOWITIUS And as Raz0r Fist explained in greater detail than I can give here, that's misleading.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

@@ArcherBro Dude, your argument is misleading. Here is a quote from _Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union_ issued by South Carolina, the first state to secede and the state that attacked Fort Sumter, triggering the war: "The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor . . . [t]hose States [the Northern States] have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection." In this document, which was essentially South Carolina's declaration of independence, no mention is given to any issue aside from slavery. The document pretty much does two things: explain the legal rationale for secession, and give their reason for secession in the first place. Nothing said about tariffs, only slavery.

[@James_Barr]

His statements about slavery are very misleading. I’ve just been reading Virginia’s secession document. It mentions slave states, but by no means declares it THE reason for secession. The reasons given are the perversion of the constitution by the government and the abuse of the citizens of the slaveholding states. Any number of issues, including slavery topics, are present in that statement. Even in South Carolina where their document mentions slavery, slave states, etc, the main focus on secession is the tossing aside of the Constitution itself and the northern states declaring an economy war on the slave states. So much going into that in addition to the institution of slavery. He should have said that slavery could not be EXCLUDED as A cause. But his statements were very misleading. I don’t think anyone is saying slavery has NOTHING to do with the Civil War, but what little research I’ve done in only a few minutes has undone his rhetoric.

[@causticchameleon7861]

History is written by the victors. So you are only taught what the victors want the public to know. He’s just repeating talking points and going not much further.

Standard Confidiot response. Playing down slavery like it wasn’t THE issue. If it was about states right why the hell didn’t the confederacy allow the confederate states to ban slavery on their own accord? Not that they even would but the confederacy would not ALLOW you to join if you banned slavery in your state. Just admit it was about slavery.

[@YouTubalcaine]

The articles of secession weren't declarations of war, and Lincoln's declaration of war didn't mention slavery at all. He didn't declare that as an objective of the war until 1863. The reasons they _left_ the Union wasn't why they _fought_ the Union.

[@factsoftheconfederacy7151]

I agree, he’s also either lying or ignorant on the fact that the confederate states had to have slavery. FALSE! Each state could abolish slavery, but congress couldn’t touch it. This is exactly how it was in the US constitution.

[@PhthaloGreenskin]

The cotton states of thr deep south cited slavery as the number 1 reason for secession. The Cotton states like Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, relied heavily on Cotton for the economy. The norther southern states like Virginia and the Carolinas slavery wasn't as much of a factor. Still a factor tho.

As a History major and Historian, it makes my head spin when ignorant people say constantly that Slavery was the reason for our Civil War. Nothing could be farther from the truth...at least initially. The REAL reason Gen. Lee resigned his Commission and agreed to lead a Confederate Army against his friends and Colleagues from West Point...and knowing he would probably lose his home, fortune, and life. The Financial tyranny of Northern States, and individual States rights were the core reason. Full stop. Slavery was " used" politically at the end of the War to motivate radical ( murderous) Northern political and activist groups...as well as raising Black Rifle Units...the idea of black units rampaging through the South wreaking havoc terrified the Southern population as well and actually prolonged the War. The Northern Armies and their leaders were notorious Rapists, murderers and pillaged. They committed Ghengis Khan caliber atrocities in the South. This is why I vehemently oppose tearing down Southern War Memorials and changing our Forts names. This is an AMERICAN story...and erasing our history is a tragedy.

So when those who are selected, to represent us, misrepresent themselves and their intentions...it is up to us to defend what they swore under oath to defend, but repeatedly attempt to infringe upon instead. These very same infiltrators are now repeatedly saying they will only protect "their democracy"; a Mob Rules form of Govt w/o a constitution. Which we do not have. Ours is a republic with a constitution. So we have a domestic enemy problem.

[@factsoftheconfederacy7151]

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The secession documents bring up slavery, but it was one of the reasons. Keep in mind there were Union slave states through the entire war! The Morrill Tariff act of 1861 passed and the Corwin Amendment was approved to be passed on March 2nd, 1861. The Corwin Amendment reads “No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State” Abraham Lincoln approved of this amendment and rather have made more profit than freeing slaves. (Source: The Civil War Day by Day: An Almanac, 1861-1865 Book by Barbara Long and E. Long) Lincoln showed his support for the amendment and stated “Holding such a provision [the legality of slavery] to be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable” (Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe. By Thomas J. Dilorenzo)

[@nophlast4237]

I like how this is an attempted character assassination of a person desperately trying to get the union together by trying to find some form of middle ground. Meanwhile the confederacy (by their federal power) forced each confederate state to uphold slavery or be kicked out. (Not very anti government now is it?) It’s always the confidiots screeching about how “technically” some of the states didn’t explicitly say “we are succeeding because of slavery” despite each one mentioning it and/or taking on the title of a slave state in the documents they made. Making the statement As though that had little to no bearing on the reasoning the states left is some of the most disingenuous shit I’ve had the displeasure of hearing over and over and over again.

The rest of the states we see as the south THEN joined the Confederacy. How can you say those states who didn't secede until Lincoln attacked fought primarily because of slavery?? Too pat. Too simple. It ain't like that.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

You're ignoring 2 things: A. Lincoln didn't "attack" yet, he called for 75,000 90-day volunteers. B. Lincoln did this in response to the State of South Carolina attacking U.S. Army troops at Fort Sumter, the first shots of the war were fired by the Confederates. The war itself was started over slavery, as that was the reason the Lower South seceded. When talking of the causes and motivations of the Civil War, the aim of the Upper Southern States aren't as important because the war was already underway when they seceded. And it should be noted that in some of their ordinances of secession, they give slavery as a cause as well. I suggest you read all the ordinances.

[@vernonkuhns3561]

@@ZIEMOWITIUS Lincoln agreed to vacate all the Southern land occupied by the Federal troops. He vacated all but Fort Sumter which he then reinforced and triggered the attack.

Don't take this guy's word for it, read the ordinances of secession for yourself. Yes, slavery is mentioned in some--not all--of the articles, but it is one of a few issues that are brought up.

[@drewbarkley3690]

Just like every other war it was due to high tariffs and other economic issues, Lincoln used to the phrase “save the union” which really meant “to keep intact his economic and territorial monopolies”

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

In all the ordinances where it is mentioned, it is either the only cause listed, or the primary cause listed. And it should be noted that in some of the ordinances that don't mention it, don't mention any reason for secession. Florida's, for example, only declares their secession, it gives no reason for them doing so.

[@syncue5411]

The north sold and profited the most off the slave trade & the agricultural industry it fueled. The New Englanders were overwhelmingly the ones transporting & selling the slaves to the south. Lincoln said in his inaugural address “I declare that I have no intention, directly or indirectly, to interfere with slavery in the states where it exits.” Lee & many others freed their slaves when the war began & declared it as a “moral & political evil.” The reason it was included in the confederate constitution was only to keep the status quo until the northern invasion ended. Brutal but this was a war. The only reason Lincoln declared the emancipation proclamation was for military purposes. Slavery is evil, no one is saying it was ok. It definitely would have ended without war, most likely within a generation. The abolishments came to the south & stirred things up to such an extent that their actions unfortunately extended the natural progression of slavery already coming to an end. Yes to an extent slavery was an issue in the American civil war but was definitely not the reason for it. Too much nuance to make that claim.

[@Zetact_]

Don't forget that the emancipation proclamation didn't free a single slave and at the time it was declared did not free a southern slave, either. Even Lincoln's own Secretary of State William H. Seward, in spite of his potential to get persecuted for daring to criticize Lincoln pointed out how hypocritical it was. "We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free."

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

The slave trade ended many decades before the Civil War began. You're using ancient history to attempt to justify Southern slavery and secession. As for the main reason of the war, it was slavery. In South Carolina's (the first state to secede) declaration of independence from the United States, they mentioned no issue other than slavery.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

Why then did slavery persist in the Northern States after the Emancipation Proclamation ended it in the Southern States?

Get that Yankee "historian" outta here.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

Because Lincoln was not a tyrant who could unilaterally seize property from people who weren't in open rebellion against the United States. The entire justification of the Emancipation Proclamation was that slaves in the South could be seized because they help the Southern war effort (indeed, the South began drafting slaves for labor before they began accepted volunteers for the army, slavery was so critical to their economy). It's quite ironic that the Democratic Party worshippers who call Lincoln a tyrant give as justification examples of Lincoln going out of his way to follow the law as closely as he could (which is arguably difficult considering the Constitution gives no guidance on what to do in internal conflicts of that magnitude).

@@stanleyshannon4408 Then I suggest you read the ordinances of secession outlining the Southern justification for secession. The Cornerstone Speech as well. Slavery is the most common reoccurring theme found in Southern documents pertaining to their desire to secede.

[@stanleyshannon4408]

@@ZIEMOWITIUS What 'cornerstone' speech? As to the secession documents, I have read them and find them to be remarkable expressions of unassailable legal logic.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

@@stanleyshannon4408 Do you deny they outline slavery as their primary motivation? The Cornerstone Speech was a speech made by Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens outlining Confederate reason for their "revolution." Here is a quote from it: "The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution." As for the legal logic, it is quite lacking because the Constitution gives no mention of whether a State can or cannot secede from the Union. It is mute on the issue.

Was about slavery, but slavery wasnt the only cause. There is never a simplified reason when it comes to war. The civil war was no different.

The first state to secede was South Carolina, and in their ordinance for secession they make no mention of any issue other than slavery as their reason for doing so.

The platforming of this charlatan is very disappointing. Barton is a guy that has made up sources that don't exist, takes things out of context, and is driven by his ideology and desire to profit. There is a reason he doesn't have a university affiliation: A) his terminal degree is a B.A. and B) His so-called scholarship is a dangerous joke. That said, if you are a fundamentalist who is desperately looking for validation for your beliefs in the past, he's your man.

I can go further. The individual states could abolish slavery, but the confederate congress couldn’t touch it. This guy is either a liar or he’s ignorant. The CSA Constitution treated slavery exactly the same as the US Constitution.

[@hudini2356]

You should provide a source before calling someone a liar.

[@factsoftheconfederacy7151]

@@hudini2356 I literally gave you my sources. The US and Confederate constitution. Sec. 9.4 of the CSA Constitution is a list of checks on congressional power, similar to its U.S. counterpart. The section only forbade Congress from banning slavery - not the states. This position was consistent with pre-1865 U.S. attitudes, including that of Abraham Lincoln, who in 1861 argued that slavery was up to the states.

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

Maybe he should read some soldiers journals, the men DAMN sure didn't fight for slaves they didn't have. They fought to save their country.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

I've read many letters from Southern soldiers. Many who didn't own slaves still talked about slavery. Many poor whites in the South still said they fought for slavery because if the slaves were freed, they'd have to compete with them for jobs. The Southern governments did a propaganda campaign telling them that, that keeping the slaves on the plantations was a guarantee that the slaves wouldn't "steal their jobs."

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

@@Texan190 That's exactly it. Read South Carolina's ordinance, it is perhaps the most important because South Carolina was the first state to secede, and thus was the first ordinance written. It mentions no issue other than slavery as their cause for secession.

@POCKET-SAND because of economic reason, and not to be forced to be crippled by the federal govt.

[@ZIEMOWITIUS]

@@Texan190 Slavery is explicitly mentioned many times in South Carolina's ordinance. Perhaps you would like this quote from it: "The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor . . . [t]hose States [the Northern States] have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection." Besides, the Southern economy was heavily tied to slavery, which means that any economic argument regarding the South inevitably finds its way back to slavery, not that this is relevant in the case of South Carolina's ordinance, which makes no mention is any issue not relating to slavery.
