Fun fact: The American civil war was not fought to free slaves. It was however beneficial to free slaves to unify the all the states and the economic boom that would happen.

@Connor Sloan yeah obviously. The north wanted to unify all states. And thank God we did because if we were still separated there wouldve been a lack of farming innovation and the South would probably still have slaves.

So the Confederacy seceding had nothing to do with the Southern states, or 25% of the population, paying over 90% of the taxes for the country? From unfair tariffs? Similar to how the northeast tried secession in 1831?
Connor SloanPred 7 urami
Because that's not true. New York actually paid most of the tariffs, as much as most of the South combined. Tariffs were a red herring developed after the war to distance the South from the real reason they started the war. Slavery. We know they started the war over slavery because they literally wrote it down. "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."-Mississippi Order of Secession. And that's not what happened in 1830. The North was nullifying, not seceding. SC was really the only state clamoring to leave the Union.

The video glossed over the fact that Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not actually free a single slave. All of the slaves it applied to in the Confederate States remained slaves, and it specifically did not apply to the slaves in the slave States that remained in the Union. Frankly, the Emancipation Proclamation was a cynical political move intended to get the abolitionists to back the war because public support was waning. There were actually people who remained slaves after the Emancipation Proclamation longer in the Union than in the Confederacy. Slavery in the Union wasn't ended until a Constitutional Amendment did so after the war was over.
Connor SloanPred dnevom
The EP was never supposed to free all the slaves. The President doesn't have that authority and Lincoln wasn't a tyrant. It freed all the slaves it was with Lincoln's authority to free. When you actually look at it the EP was genius. It attacked slavery in such a way that it was above being sued. Because if he had freed the slaves in the border states all it would have taken was one judge ruling it unconstitutional and that was the ball game, freeing the slaves just became infinitely more difficult It also did so much more than just free the slaves in rebel territory, it also allowed for the enlistment of black troops in the Union forces of which 200,000 enlisted.

There is one thing we are forgetting here, and that is the C.S.A didn't secede from the union just because of slavery like we are being told, the war was fought for constitutional rights to keep american states governing themselves. Yes slavery may have had some to do with the war but we are told in school the main reason the south seceded was due to their slaves possibly being taken, while the idea of states having slavery rights taken away was true, that wasn't the main conflict that started the war.
Connor SloanPred dnevom
Nope. They only wanted self governance because of slavery. If you actually look at the history you'd know that the South only supported states rights as long as they protected slavery. Just look at the Fugitive Slave Act, that trampled all over state sovereignty. And the South did secede over slavery. Nothing else was anywhere near as important as slavery was. We know it was because the CSA literally wrote down why they seceded.

This is so full of crap. Not only did the north have slaves but they had them longer than the south. Try looking up the 13th amendment, and you would see that slavery was still legal in the union, and it took 2 votes by the union congress to end slavery in the north. Another thing is was the democrats that voted against ending slavery.
Connor SloanPred dnevom
The North did not have slave, the border states had slaves. And the 13th Amendment ended slavery throughout the Union in Dec. 1865 when it was ratified. And that doesn't change the fact that the South started the war to protect slavery. And it was the conservative Democrats that wanted slavery. The liberal Republicans wanted to end it.
