  • So you think you know your history? Mr. Hughes lays down the tracks to help you understand the true purpose behind the Emancipation Proclamation and why the Civil War was fought. Brought to you by Mr. Hughes in an easily digestible eight minute chunk of history for even the lamest of learners. WARNING: The audio clipping may damage your ears so my apologies in advance of your possible deafness.

    While I appreciate you informing me of my audio clipping mistake, I accidentally had it turned to 11 (yes mine goes one louder), I would like to give you some free advice as well..... there is no need to use such roughness when addressing someone you don't know, especially when they are seeking to make the world a teensy bit smarter. But again, I hope the shit in my other videos sounds better.

    Why the South lost
    1) - Gettysburgh - the Union got itself into the strongest natural postition to defend (of the war) Lee was advised to go for Washington as was his orginal intent but instead was drawn in to an attritional fight.
    2) Changing view of European & especially British Empire's (who controlled gold supply) economic relations with the South vs North resource vs market (North) for British manufactured goods. Gold is the life blood of war.
    3) Grant using total war split South.

    It only matters because it helps to understand how human beings act in the political world, it helps us to understand politicians today. It is not that we are judging them we are understanding them.Holding them in an evil light is wrong and so is hero worship. Especially when children are taught that politicians (lincoln) never compromised their beliefs, they did and they should be taught that. truth is truth and our jobs is to try to take our foggy glasses of our beliefs off and figure it out

  • @dilligras
    @dilligras Před 7 lety

    I wish that someone would revise history to include the context of the DC Emancipation Act. Lincoln FREED the slaves of Washington DC and paid the owners for them. He also offered to pay each slave up to $100 -- IF they would go to Haiti or Liberia.
    Given that he did not have to worry about the political consequences (he was not trying to get elected to any office in the DC govt.), one may reasonably assume that this reflects his own position on the questions of race and slavery.

    @hiphughes  Před 12 lety

    Oh I agree. I highlight the idea that abolitionism was the fire that scared the shit out of the south. In fact I think it was the misconception that Lincoln was out to free the slaves upon election which is responsible for the war as much as economic argument. I tell the kids stink don't stink until its in your backyard.. hence the 19th century being a century where the shit began to stink and fanned by noble warrior abolitionists. Thanks for your insights! ~hiphughes

    Yes the Declaration of Independence, not in the rule book. And you have consent of the governed, you can vote. This only applies if you have no mechanisms to provide you with a voice. You have that so no need for the citizen militia quite yet. And I dont think Im ignorant, Im open to ideas, Ill listen to arguments and Im pretty well informed. That is like the operational defintion of not being ignorant. I may be wrong sometimes but not ignorant. Such mean words not good to provoke debate.

  • @hiphughes
    @hiphughes  Před 12 lety

    the same reason I didn't include his Ottawa speech in 58' as part of the Douglas debates where he said,
    " I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."
    It's a wash at the end b/c he is speaking political and playing the game. I will say in private I think his heart is probably that of an abolitionist or guilt at minimum.

    • @JoefromNJ1
      @JoefromNJ1 Před 5 lety

      sorry but he was vehemently against it. he occasionally said things that may on the surface have seemed soft on the issue slavery. but those were mainly political quotes when he was trying to appease the border states or simply trying to keep the union intact. he fought extraordinarily hard to get the 13th amendment passed.

    Lincoln also issued the Emancipation Proclamation to boost Union morale. The policy freed all slaves living in Union-occupied areas of the Confederacy. Hence, Union soldiers, who were almost universally against slavery, would be even more motivated to capture Confederate land. He also wanted the policy to increase the number of Union soldiers, as slaves freed by the policy would often enlist in the Union military.

    • @michelej9496

    No one is "saying that the church IS being required to issue gay marriages" to the same degree that no one is "saying that the state IS being required to issue gay marriages". I agree that there are no constitutional grounds for saying that gay marriage should be illegal and that there are grounds for saying it should be legal. HOWEVER, the same groups that are saying that the MARRIAGE should be legal are suing to force people to participate in the WEDDING. (It is not just venues and caterers. I have heard of people demanding legislation to force pastors to marry people regardless of whether they believe those people should be married or not.) There is a difference between having a right to have the same legal standing regardless of your sexual orientation and the right for 2 willing parties to enter into a legal contract (marraige is a legal contract and that is why it is afforded certain benefits under the law) and saying that a person has a the right to force another to participate in their celebration of the forming of that legal contract or that a person should be forced to enter a legal contract (such as a contract to provide a service) against their will. It is when the gay marraige advocates cross the line from demanding their freedoms to claiming they have the right to diminish other people's freedoms that I have a problem with their argument.

  • @TheTokkin
    @TheTokkin Před 12 lety +2

    The confederacy left solely for the reason that the abolitionist movement was gaining momentum in the Federation. When the US refused to expand the slave business further, they waged war on the northern states in response. Again, its not as relevant what the motivations of the president or the government were, but what drove the confederates. In the confederates various speeches and even their constitution, we see the overwhelming role of slavery in their motivation.

    British Empire was the hyper-power then; the British view was in terms of the cost of cotton or the cost of manufactured goods (for most of the war cotton was dominant concern - whatever British public opinion was for or Against slavery or if they had sympathy for the South or the North - the two issues are not always locked together in terms of opinion at the time - the South even wanted to join Britain Empire even though Britain had banned slavery, as well as supplying both sides with arms)

    Stems from the theory that married couples provide social and economic stability, for themselves and for whatever children they bear. The stability marriage provides alleviates the state from the responsibility of providing financial support and survival services for abandoned children, etc., etc. Marriage benefits were used as coercion to get people to officially tie the knot. And then.... no fault divorce came a-calling, and all hell broke loose. But that's another chapter in the book....
