Have you had a chance to look at A P Hill confederate warrior by History gone wilder. Very good measure of the man. Like to hear your thoughts. Heads up though, its 3 hours long.
When you believe God is on your side, indeed anything is possible, unfortunately.
John brown was one of the few people who understood that the only way the south would give up their slaves was by prying them from their cold dead hands.
Mate you have to do Feature History's Texas Revolution vid! You'll love it!
Who wants to see Chris VTH react to kings and generals video about John Hawkwood English mercenary and condottiero in middle ages Italy.
Pragmatism is sociopolitical structures provides a relatively weak foundation for social justice and change. Hence why most successful political figures have historically leaned toward stronger political philosophies. Also, entire USA is founded by slavery and imperialism.
I’ve never heard of John Brown before now. Very interesting character. Gives me a Malcom X impression, does evil things in the name of something noble. Something awful pushed him to the extreme. I don’t believe the ends justify the means in any case, but I understand it. And change comes real slowly without people like him so.
Daveed Diggs as Fredrick Douglass in The Good Lord Bird was outstanding!
I think the existence of serfs dulled the impact of slavery in Europe. Why go through all the hassle of buying a slave when your fiefdom comes with a bunch of built-in almost-slaves?
When enlightenment came along, this made it easier to expand the rights of the serfs, since they were full citizens (on paper at least).
On the other hand, the black slaves in the US were barely considered human, which made it easy to ignore them when people proclaimed "all men are created equal".
The story of Solomon Northrop is a great example of southerners coming into the free states and taking a free black man to sell into slavery. And I, as a south Georgia resident, have a huge problem and get very angry when I read or watch his story because so many went through the same hell that he did and most never made probably never made it back to freedom. Absolutely appalling.
This sheds light that there is no State rivalry or relationship like that of Kansas and Missouri!
The entire country was founded with slavery, not just the South.
This whole presentation kinda confirms the civil war was about power not slavery.
Yeah, on the one hand, you can sit back and write essays about how something needs to change, and nothing will happen. But it's also possible to be too impatient and try to make things happen faster than is actually possible, and you just burn yourself out, unnecessarily, without accomplishing your goals.
Lincoln is a special case; his relationship with the institution of slavery is really too complex to cover in a YouTube comment; but I will say that a lot of people like to over-simplify it. It is also worth noting that Lincoln was concerned that if the issue caused the United States to break apart, then the whole world might collectively dismiss the concept of representative government as a failure and go back to authoritarianism, and then all of the world's peoples would effectively be slaves, except for a few elites. That concern was perhaps overblown, but it did make more sense in the 1860s, than it would make today.
I'm from Missouri and we never learned about John Brown in school.
John Brown was one of History's Arsonists (if my favorite history fan Dan Carlin has anything to say about him.) Was he a hero to the abolition movement? Yes. How did the families of his victims feel about him? I think we know the answer to that.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act is a perfect example of perverse incentive structure.
15:05 I love how Chris' words implied that nobody lives in Utah 😂
umm. considering Britian decided to cause famines in India for stuff like this the whole stopping slavery is more they have outer avenues for reckless wealth generation and stuff. and well. if you call it a different name.
Slavery, in Great Britain, was only done away with because the government agreed to reimburse British enslavers for their loss of property. The debt incurred by this payment was only fully paid off in 2005 (I think that's the date) and the formerly enslaved were not reimbursed for their work or hardship.
