US History Fellow Kim Kutz explains how slavery was an issue at the birth of the United States and how the issue became more and more central as the country expanded.

POV: your here because your history teacher told you to watch this.
heck yeah
likewise
No. I'm watching this on my own free will. I like school.
I’m the history teacher that is watching it before showing it during class. 🤷🏻♀️

And she’s making me take notes 🙄
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I'm currently studying black history and couldn't nail what precisely the north took issue with the south. The abolitionists were a minority, so I knew that wasn't the impetus behind why the northerners cared. Thanks again, and good job.
This was definitely a matter of morals, and a basic principle of morality is you never ever make any deal with evil; slavery itself was intrinsically evil, you never make any deals to preserve it, you remove it heedless of ability, no matter what. For the moment you agree to allow it anywhere, you open yourself up to it.
thank you for taking your time to make the rest of us smarter.
it is difficult to watch this series because there is no logical way to find the next video. I cannot finish the series and I don't know where to find the next videos because they are not in order.

Welcome to 2023 human
What about the role that the Haitian Revolution played and various Caribbean people that contributed to political atmosphere in America? I would like to see this discussed at some point in this series.

On Napoleon selling the big chunk of land to the USA: he needed money for the wars he was fighting in Europe, and to him, it would be too much cost to defend... and not at all worth the cost of holding on to.
Plus, he possibly thought he could gain an ally in the USA that could help to take some pressure off of his empire so he could beat England; and the USA really didn't like Britain at that time at all, come to think of it; so we'd be pretty ripe as a possible ally to him.

great face cam up the top there
Don't get me wrong: I fully acknowledge that slavery is incredibly immoral and must never be allowed ever again. What I was stating is some of the mental breakdowns of the slave-owners in their logic, on a fiscal utilitarian and economic viewpoint about how it doesn't and never could work.

Here's part of what's real *stupid* about how they treated the slaves: you break your computer and you expect it to work perfectly, or at least reasonably well? Well, legally- and here's where it was an unjust system- to the slave-owners, their owned farm-hands and unpaid maids were literally to them a machine, nothing less, more, or different. What the picture to our right shows is a man who's back is clearly broken by the "lash", and they'd think his body would work well enough for him to harvest the fields?! Come on.

😀😀😀😀😀😀
The most valuable "thing " to own is slaves?!! Thing?!!!
What other word would you have them use? There was farm equipment, the land, the tools, and slaves. "Thing" encompasses all if those. People are indeed "things". I am a thing. You are a thing. Thing is a wild card of a word that can mean anything. You're over here trying to act like they just referred to black people as sub-human or anything when they clearly, several times, stated that slavery is morally wrong. Get over yourself.
yall
hiiii.................................
whats up fellow history student?
hi
JOE.
I really do think that Mr. Khan has a point: if I'm a plantation owner in say Georgia, why would I want another plantation owner in say Kansas to win out, fiscally; he might become a future business rival of mine.
Course, by and large, the bigger the workforce you have at your disposal, the more you can get done; so that does make sense... and hence, if you're a Union military officer, and you want to disable the Confederacy, your primary target is going to be the plantations so you can obtain the forced laborers and free them: you gain a workforce, and you remove your enemy's workforce at the same exact time- and by and large they'll be far more supportive of you than their previous captors.
Slavery was an economic issue.... not a moral issue for the US
Well it’s both in a sense
@@magnusthered4973 I agree, in our culture it is a moral issue. I'm saying at the time of the Civil War, emancipation was not on the top of the list; money was.
It also was and is a moral issue.
Slavery also doesn't work economically: the labor is of a significantly lower quality than paid labor, as John and Abigail Adams found out in a tour of the Deep South, they calculated that slave labor was approximately 1/6 as cost effective, so it was 6 times as costly to those who used it as opposed to paid skilled labor.
And the science of economics confirms this discovery.
"Slavery doesn't work economically".
This is the most ridiculous and ignorant statement you could say. As the video says, "by 1860, the most valuable thing anyone owns in the U.S. is slaves. You can't compete with that kind of money."
By the time the 1830s came around, the largest product in demand, across the globe, was cotton. Everyone wanted it. Slaves were free labor to southern enslavers. As horrific as it was, forcing slaves to work for free made millions of people, corporations and banks wealthy, in the U.S. and even Europe.
It wasn't six times as costly to own slaves vs paying for labor. That's just ignorant.
The south lacked technological advancement and was unable to keep up with the north, but what they had were slaves that produced crops, for zero wage expense, that resulted in huge amounts of profit.
While slavery was certainly a major issue and perhaps the primary issue, it was not the only cause of the civil war. The South was very unhappy with the growing overreach of the federal government, which included growing hostility towards the slave states as well as an economic system that increasingly favored the North at the expense of the South. Thankfully, slavery no longer exists, but, unfortunately, the federal government has since grown to the behemoth we know today. States no longer have rights as the federal government is now the main shot caller on taxation and centrally planning the economy. It's now solely up to the federal government to increase the wealth of the rich by printing money and boosting asset prices, pacify the poor through the redistribution of wealth from the working producer class to the non-working consumer class, and to milk the working middle class for all it's worth until the middle class is no longer...and the true consequences of the federal government's power grab will be seen when the middle class milk cow runs out of milk.
Just stop and you're WRONG!! The Civil War was all about SLAVERY!! I'm not trying to to hear that revisionist history!!
Save that the lie, for someone that should know better!!
What's with that long diatribe anyway???👀🙄 #YAWN
@@Zeldarw104 Actually it wasn't a major issue for the north but it was a major issue for the south.
@@Zeldarw104 Steve's right, slavery was the south's economy in one, morally disputable, nutshell, also, not to be hypocritical, but that comment was 3 years before yours so it's a *little* too late to tell him to stop
@@Zeldarw104 if it was about slavery, why did hundreds of thousands of Northern soldiers desert when Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation?
