  • The Civil War Display is really coming along! I accumulated lots of new items in the last couple months. Now, it's time to go even further back to The American Revolution; when America was born.
    We hope to have the museum open this May, but it depends on the conditions of the virus. We have many new items and displays to show tourists. The museum now goes back 243 years! Lots and lots of military history to see and learn.

    I am a member of the Sons Confederate Veterans and I think this is awesome. We also partner with the sons of the Union are Northern counterparts. The main cause for the Civil War for the South was the states right of secession to govern themselves and also the north was putting a extremely high tariff on the south. Slavery was a secondary issue. Look up Jim Lumber Jim Lumber was a black child that Jefferson Davis during the Civil War he unofficially adopted him because he was getting beaten by a black adult. And to get the child his last name now he wouldn't have done that if the war was truly fought over slavery. Abraham Lincoln didn't say the war was over slavery in the beginning during the start of the Civil War Lincoln said the war was about preserving the union and that is all he didn't say that it was over slavery until the middle of the war.

    That's not the first hand grenade, I know in a previous video you showed the textbook. But it's wrong, unless it's talking about that specific grenade either or it's not the first combat hand grenade. First hand grenade was from like the 16th century. Why do you think we'd call some units for example in the Colonial Era, "Grenadiers" who had the big fur hats and carried grenades. The Civil War wasn't fought only over slavery, like you mentioned. It was over state rights mainly and money for example the North putting tariffs on European goods so Europe put tariffs on imported cotton.
    Other than that its a great display and takes a lot of passion and I'm sure it is hard to remember ever little artifact that you own. So hats off to a cool private museum

    Ever since I discovered your channel, I watch several of your videos everyday. .and greatly enjoy them, you are what America is about, we need more of you..
    I just have two questions, 1st, I'm a big tanktop guy, I bought your white outlined one, but want the yellow outlined one, as you wear will it be available soon,
    and 2nd, what the hell is that clicking noise in your videos, it sounds like someone clicking a pens button..
    Keep the videos coming, can't get enough of em..
    Thanks Eric

    I'm surprised that YT didn't censor the Confederate battle flag. History, people, it's history.
    I'm coming to your museum...all the way from Missouri.
