@@dks13827lol schools don’t teach properly what bad stuff the USA really did. Fascist politicians from the left and right dictate what’s taught in school, which is insane! Demonizing and teaching about Hitler is necessary, but first Americans need to learn already in elementary school about the genocide of the native Americans and how all their land was stolen. Most of their beautiful culture is completely destroyed these days. Same goes for slavery, it needs to be taught as being as horrific as what Hitler and Stalin did! It’s very simple, the truth needs to be taught. Nothing bad has to be left out and nothing good. Is also needs to be taught that America is only ruled by a few rich families since the industrialization. Also the human anatomy needs to be taught early, including procreation and sexuality. It’s necessary for children to learn about it early. But no weird drag queens in school, that’s just insane. Just the biology how it works and how humans are able to have children. Radical leftists are as bad as radical conservatives and both should never ever influence what children learn! The public schools in America are already much worse than the schools in northern Europe and the American teenagers are shockingly uneducated compared to European teenagers. There needs to be a change and much more investment in the school system! And every bit of political influence has to be taken out of the schools!

America owes its rise to world economic dominance in the 19th century to the exploitation and systematic torture of black enslaved people. Read Edward Baptist's, "The Half Has Never Been Told" (2014).

First time listening to your lecture. I absolutely loved it. Im very versed in history and I learned a handful from this presentation. I look forward to listening to more.
Thank you from France. In 1850, one of py ancestors was living in Dallas, Texas. In a kind of french utopic-socialist seattlement called La Reunion. I think it's where is now Reunion Tower. Then, he returns in France. Thank you for the video.
I don't think he meant to imply there was an actual canal at the time. He said people would sail around South America or take a train or cart across the Panama Canal, simply referring to the narrowest point of crossing in Central America.
(1:12:33) Did I hear that ships sailed through the Panama Canal in 1850??? Oh well, other than that it's a pretty good primer for the novice to history, if you can get them to pay attention. (The Canal didn't open until August of 1914.)
I don't think he meant to imply there was an actual canal at the time. He said people would sail around South America or take a train or cart across the Panama Canal, simply referring to the narrowest point of crossing in Central America. He certainly didn't say "ships sailed through the Panama Canal in 1850".
Marriage among enslaved people existed informally, but marriage had no official legal recognition. Nor did being a parent have any legal recognition. Have a baby, and he/she belonged to the slaveowner, and could be sold apart from the parents.
Slave holders did not consider their slaves as Human Beings! They considered their slaves to be Chattel property. They had no problem separating families, abusing, and destroying lives for centuries!
Albert Einstein once said this. If you cannot explain it so a six year old will understand - then you do not understand it yourself. He really said this. The way you made examples here - like with slavery and being kept ignorant of all things one needs like simple navigation - you did a tremendous job here friend. Your an excellent teacher if only by narration and story telling. Like slave’s around a fire at night. Tell story. Sing and dance. Keep you customs alive and pass on your history. JOB WELL DONE HERE SIR.
The term eating high off the hog referred to the tender cuts of meat like the ribs in particular the baby back ribs. the rest would go to the work force. This is why BBQ was developed low and slow over open fire , because pit masters had to make the meat tender for those who didn’t have a full head of teeth. Shredded pork specifically was developed with natural tenderizers to make the toughest parts of the hog easy to eat.
Nice discussion. Imagine what Lincoln had to deal with in North and South in 1859-1860. The nation couldn't hold together, and yet although after a terrible war, he kept us from disintegrating altogether. Too bad we never came together fundamentally.
I am really interested in different time points through out history about the US like the 1500s,1600s all the way to the 90s and early 2000/10s so this was very cool to watch
that's what it was based after. watch real pixels series "how historically accurate is red dead redemption 2" if you're anything like me, you'll love it.
Great content I would like to hear more about gilded age in USA, particulary discovering new land and what was really in peoples minds at the america frontier. Can you recommend anything? There is a TV series called ,,1883'' which is great, but i struggle to find anything simillar.
I am not Mormon, but I lived in southeast Idaho 1991-1998. In '91, I worked in a nursing home where one of the resident's mother was one of the "Handcart" pioneers who followed Brigham Young to Salt Lake City, where he proclaimed "This is the place", as in where they would settle. Idaho was so interesting to me back then, many of the LDS who wanted to continue to practice polygamy after it was officially outlawed, fled to Idaho where they could continue to practice in a rural area mostly free of persecution. Back then, much of the LDS pioneers ( many who were immigrants from other countries) had died, the antique stores in these small town Idaho areas were full of their belongings.
My Grandparents mothers & fathers were alive during the civil war. One had letters that she read to us that Fredrick Douglas was a hero in the West. Most westerners were against slavery.
Great video. It would be nice if you provided some sources for a few of your claims, such as your claim about violence and how often it occurred. The video description area would be a great place for this type of information.
Lincoln Co-authored the proposed corwyn amendment which would have kept slavery permanent in the south. He also said he thought the emancipation proclamation would have been just a war time measure and would be nullified after the war.
There was also either a group of Shakers or group with similar separation beliefs in eastern PA. They died out because, well, no procreation, and they didn't leave their compound. They wore one garment in the six cold months, and another another for the hot six. I don't know if they bathed or washed the garment during the wearing time. The sex separation didn't shock me, all I could think of was the smell.
🟥🟥🟥🟥I used to listening to a series of professors speaking on history. I was different lectures everyday. One expert explained the history that most schools leave out, 1500's to the mid 1700''s of early America. He said that there was more slaves early on then colonist. Many blacks were also free. If you chose to be baptized in early america and were a slave, they would set you free. He also said it was in the slave owners best interest not to beat the slaves being you get more work out of people if you treat them fair. Also slaves that were troublemakers were usually the ones most likely to be punished "Rapist, tormenting, beating other slaves and so forth". There also was a lot of blacks who were slave owners. I think this video maker needs to explore early america at greater depth.
I live in Wisconsin (Milwaukee). On a trip north of the city I noticed a lot of the farms have signs out front with the dates of their history. I noticed several had dates of 1848. I believe the last native Americans were removed from this area around the mid-1830's.
I like how you are bringing US History back into the world. Its is important to know your history to understand your present. As i was watching your video though, I was wondering what was your source that in 1850 only about 5% of Northerners were against slavery [~40min] As far back as several decades before 1850, the issue of not allowing slavery was so significant a part of the American political consciousness as to already be affecting the admission of states to the Union (resulting in Missouri Compromise of 1820). In order for that to be an issue of such weight to the elected members of Congress, there had to be *far* more than 5% of the electorate in those Northern States for which abolishment of slavery was an issue or those Representatives would not have had the political imperative and impetus to fight so hard to prevent slave states entering the Union or to ensure slavery was not allowed in any other new states formed in the entire Louisiana Territory In addition, there was an entire Underground Railroad set up to move escaped slaves all the way from the South to Canada which was fully operational by the 1850's and had been operating for years, helping over 40,000 slaves by that time. That network would have to have involved a *significantly* large group of *highly* involved and dedicated people. Since a core/dedicated group of any political cause is usually only a fraction of the total believers, this would strongly indicate that even the most dedicated/ core group was large enough to indicate a supporting group of far more than 5% of the Northern population. Finally, Lincoln was elected less than 10 years later with 180 of 323 electoral votes in an election where he wasn't even listed on the ballot in 10 slave owning states. For the outcome of that election to have been such, Lincoln would have had to carry almost every Northern non-slave state as well as having done well in some other border states. That would mean that 5% of the Northern population being against slavery somehow ballooned to 60-80% in a matter of less than 10 years, without any changes to the current social structure, education or science on racial differences, or social media or other methods of mass political propaganda dissemination. Heck, the fact that he wasnt even allowed on the ballot in the 10 slave owning states showed the anti-slavery movement *in the South* was probably much more than 5% of the population even there. These are of course just critical thinking/ circumstantial conflicts with the 5% number before and after 1850 and there may be some other factors or events which make the 5% number possible so if you have a source for that number I would like to look into things further to advance my understanding. Thank You in advance :)
In reality most white Americans (including Lincoln) were ambivalent at best about African slavery. Certainly most would not have wanted to fight a war to free slaves as preservation of the union (white people) was the main reason the North committed to arms.
Several claims that Historo makes just don't add up. If 1.25% of the white population each owned 20 or more slaves that alone would be over 25% of the population added to all the slaves that were owned by the 24% of the white pop that had up to 5 slaves. If this was the case the slaves would be about as many as the whites. Also he claims that southern agriculture was based on crops that won't grow in the north, his first example was tobacco which then and now is grown in Connecticut.
@@rembrandt972ify Yeah.. I find a lot of these guys who have these leftist narratives have very convincing , factual-seeming presentations, but when you start to really look at the facts/ details they base their conclusions on, they either dont make sense or fall apart completely. The socialist/ leftist narrative just doesnt work, which is why every socialist movement is intent on changing history or creating a false narrative about current realities and truth. They cannot present a good argument in support of socialism by presenting truth. There's no way to tell if the presenter is a deliberate promoter of false narratives or just a "useful idiot" who fell for one of the narratives and thinks they are doing a service to society by promoting it. I have found that discussions can go round and round, so when I start seeing "facts" that just dont add up with the slightest research, I usually ask for sources. I have yet to have one of these leftist/ socialism promoters provide any sources for the "facts" they present. I think if they cannot provide sources, it tells you everything you need to know about their narratives. The sad part is they do so much damage to the historical literacy of the readers of their narratives and the preservation and understanding of history itself. The really sad part is this guy is a history teacher. It gives us all concern for our youth.
@@rembrandt972ify He literally did say that lol. Slaves made up the majority of the population in certain areas and made up a third of the population of the south. Also he said crops that typically don't grow in those regions, and no tobacco is not a crop that is typically grown in most northern regions of the US, that does not mean there aren't exceptions
@@imronburgundy69 Tobacco is also grown in Pennsylvania and Ohio, both not exactly Deep South. Pennsylvania is 5th among states in production even though tobacco doesn't grow there, supposedly. Historo can't math and his ignorance of history is laughable.
My family has lived in New Mexico for generations, they were here in 1850 certainly. It’s odd, I’m American without a shadow of a doubt. Hearing someone say my ancestors are barely American, or that it’s odd to call us American is very strange. After the American empire conquered New Mexico, I most certainly had family members born, born into American citizenship. If america didn’t want them to be Americans they would’ve stayed out of Mexico. But they were conquered by Americans, they were Mexican/Spaniards, but they too most certainly were Americans. Just like the Goths were Roman.
Yeah if you can't get something like that correct, how am I supposed to take anything you say as correct ? Can't do it......I really doubt anything said after those claims....which are what, 5.5 seconds in ? GREAT JOB !
I saw you flashed a picture of Oak Alley plantation when you were giving an example of the big plantation homes in the south. Oak alley is only about 45 minutes from me. I live right outside of New Orleans. It’s still open to this day,. I love it so much because of all of the big beautiful oak trees lining the entrance road going to the house. However, I’m not blind to some of the horrors that most likely took place there for African-Americans. It was probably a hell for them! Where as you and I being white people, we look at it and see a beautiful home. Anyway thanks for the great video. Very interesting. I could tell you put a lot of time and research into it
Good program, thanks. The xenophobia of this period was also very prevalent in “Midwestern “ cities. Cincinnati was the 6th largest city . Steamboats loaded and unloaded huge amounts of cargo and passengers traveling east and west on the Ohio River and other inland rivers. Cincinnati was the major port for this trade. The city also developed the largest meat packing industry in the world (Porkopolis) . This attracted thousands of Irish and German and free blacks from the south because of plentiful jobs. They of course were resented ( and attacked ) by the exiting white Protestant residents, similar to your descriptions of the Eastern cities.

There's a few adjustments that would offer greater alignment for more accurate conception, any data corresponding to the subject, and for clarity. The line should have a blurry effect for it represents a border of fading North/South, particularly for the era and the perspectives in that time. Maryland is too far removed in it's geographic location for the Agriculture and the Social Environment, the "Mindset, Customs, and Standard of Living". Virginia would be the northern most point. Southern Illinois would be outside of Dixie but sharing the Values, though Slavery would be absent earlier, Missouri would be in with the Southern venue, except St Louis and Kansas City. Corn is a prevalent Midwestern crop Iowa, Nebraska, and down through Illinois and into Northern Dixie. It would not have been a Cash Crop in Lower South Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, (the Carolinas, Virginia) these + Kentucky (being more Tobacco Producing Areas) The "South, Tennessee to the Gulf, Cotton, and Deep South Lower Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, also planted Sugar Cane, Indigo, in addition to Cotton, for Cash Crops. Soybeans filled in in Tennessee and areas around TN at some point. Meaning, they likely grew another bean back when, that requires Agriculture Records to validate. There's been a change in the times since then in this area and many life common experiences, but I assure you, the "Southern Fundamentalist Manner of Mind/Thought Thinking" has changed little. The fact it being "all of the Public is influenced in learning their reality, or idea there of, is through": home/parents/family, peers/social environment, Religion, and in 20th Century, the News Media, Entertainment Medias. This applies to all, White and Black, etc. The owners of enslaved peoples limited what they heard from outside and even their Religion was monitored. To keep revolts at bay. It still is an unfathomable imagining of a Person owning another Human. Definitely required a learned belief system.

They probably were decently fed. You can't get effective manual labor out of people if they aren't. Remember those slaves would be considered expensive property, you wouldn't want to waste that. Not to mention you need good harvests to make a profit
You should go look at a book called the history of the southern rebellion written, 18 60s. And then one of the early chapters it states that the legislator body of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina basically all of the southern states came within two or three votes in 1861 of voting slavery out so that kind of goes a little bit against what you’re saying although I enjoyed your commentary on the south I am a southerner, but I do not believe, the whole issue was slavery although it was a part and it was a sad thing 40:4740:49

Outstanding discussion. For the overwhelmingly decisive role of slavery in America's rise to world economic dominance via cotton, read Edward Baptist's study, "The Half Has Never Been Told" (2014). Systematic torture was vital to increasing cotton production.
There was a lot of sexual violence against women and girls for the usual awful reasons but also to "breed" more enslaved people. And families were frequently separated through sale. So walking traumatized people from thosr things alone. On a big plantation on which the enslaved are numerous the violence might be more intense because of the threat to the whites. When you read descriptions of the enslaved you also see tons of untreated injuries and conditions -- poorly set bones, sores, etc. So not in good shape physically and still forced to work.
I googled Mauritania. Slavery is illegal. People certainly 'care' and there have been ongoing efforts to bring criminal slaveholders to justice both from the Mauritanian government and international agencies.
Great presentation. Sometime, maybe you could do one on Northern slaves....3 of the northern states in the 'Union" remained slave states and there are many other unpopular but true facts about the north. Also maybe you could talk about how the slaves were treated by the north when they came here to burn homes and crops leaving even slaves hungry. Just some of the things that nobody has the cohoneys to talk about.
No I am pretty sure everyone is clear on how the slaves were treated....most view it as history & isn't something that is the center piece & focus of every single conversation. Women were treated close to the same & that's not something focused on constantly. Yeah it happened....we know. The towns people would also all gathered around & watched people of all races being hung, burned at the stake, firing squad, stoning, beheading. A Different time & mentality including in africa ,...people around the world were brutal....some still are.
As someone who did not grow up with God in my life, and being a dedicated Christian adult; it truly disgusts me to know they used Christianity to justify slavery. How could anyone read the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and think it is okay to treat humans like animals. In truth we are to treat even our animals with dignity.
Couple of things. Slaves probably had a better and more diverse diet than whites. Slaves would eat food that whites would look down upon like mustard and collard greens. Slaves usually were allowed an allotment in which they could maintain vegetable gardens (reminiscent of serfs living on Medieval Feudal estates). As for crops, it's not a year 'round job. For cotton there'd be the plowing, then the sowing. Not a lot to do with them in the fields for months until the harvest in early winter. Then comes the harvesting. Then the seed picking (later ginning). Finally the chopping, gathering and burning of the stalks. In between would be maintenance and sundry projects such as digging or repairing drainage ditches, fences, land clearing, etc. There's always something to do on a farm/plantation, but plowing, planting and harvesting aren't 24/7 365 days a year jobs. Also, it was common for slaveholders to hire out their slaves to other plantations or businesses. Some especially who had skills such as blacksmiths could work almost independently, and earn money for themselves.
Thanks! I learned a lot yet growing up a country boy, farmers don’t share much info and would rather watch a new comer learn by their own mistakes while sitting on the porch having a good laugh! One thing I will advise you of and it’s fact. If you’re a hard worker all it will do is get you more hard work! Until your broke down and then you might get an easier job. A good education does a body good. The word slave gets thrown around a lot in politics but in the real world we know the true meaning of the word! Every time you drive across a bridge remember lol, built by either union slaves or nonunion slaves. The word slave goes a lot farther than skin deep! Stay in school or politics cause real world 🌎 drones sound more like the word you’re looking for.

1:12:33 there was no Panama Canal to come through. 1881 was the first attempt for the digging of it.

We know you are a lost cause believer. We know what you are
Yep.
Really?! I need to research that
From what I found, his name was Peter and he was an escaped slave from Louisiana....not Brazil. What's your source?
(1:12:33) Did I hear that ships sailed through the Panama Canal in 1850??? Oh well, other than that it's a pretty good primer for the novice to history, if you can get them to pay attention. (The Canal didn't open until August of 1914.)
I don't think he meant to imply there was an actual canal at the time. He said people would sail around South America or take a train or cart across the Panama Canal, simply referring to the narrowest point of crossing in Central America. He certainly didn't say "ships sailed through the Panama Canal in 1850".
Great and in depth video
Marriage among enslaved people existed informally, but marriage had no official legal recognition. Nor did being a parent have any legal recognition. Have a baby, and he/she belonged to the slaveowner, and could be sold apart from the parents.
Slave holders did not consider their slaves as Human Beings! They considered their slaves to be Chattel property. They had no problem separating families, abusing, and destroying lives for centuries!

This show is perfect for us history junkies.
Albert Einstein once said this. If you cannot explain it so a six year old will understand - then you do not understand it yourself. He really said this. The way you made examples here - like with slavery and being kept ignorant of all things one needs like simple navigation - you did a tremendous job here friend. Your an excellent teacher if only by narration and story telling. Like slave’s around a fire at night. Tell story. Sing and dance. Keep you customs alive and pass on your history. JOB WELL DONE HERE SIR.
Thanks for the video and knowledge
I like this narrator if he’s not sure he admits it, honesty how refreshing ☑️
This was great man. I absolutely love your work. Earned a sub and a like from me.....look forward to watching more.
The term eating high off the hog referred to the tender cuts of meat like the ribs in particular the baby back ribs. the rest would go to the work force. This is why BBQ was developed low and slow over open fire , because pit masters had to make the meat tender for those who didn’t have a full head of teeth. Shredded pork specifically was developed with natural tenderizers to make the toughest parts of the hog easy to eat.
And the 95% of whites who were poor didn't even have the scrap meat to eat.
Nice discussion. Imagine what Lincoln had to deal with in North and South in 1859-1860. The nation couldn't hold together, and yet although after a terrible war, he kept us from disintegrating altogether. Too bad we never came together fundamentally.
Are you actually a history professor somewhere? You did an excellent job! This was very interesting and informative.
I am really interested in different time points through out history about the US like the 1500s,1600s all the way to the 90s and early 2000/10s so this was very cool to watch
6:30 reminds me of that mansion from rdr2
that's what it was based after. watch real pixels series "how historically accurate is red dead redemption 2" if you're anything like me, you'll love it.
Great content
I would like to hear more about gilded age in USA, particulary discovering new land and what was really in peoples minds at the america frontier.
Can you recommend anything? There is a TV series called ,,1883'' which is great, but i struggle to find anything simillar.
Holy crap, this is excellent. Pausing immediately so I can find the playlist and watch from episode 1.
Thank you for this. Subbed.
I am not Mormon, but I lived in southeast Idaho 1991-1998. In '91, I worked in a nursing home where one of the resident's mother was one of the "Handcart" pioneers who followed Brigham Young to Salt Lake City, where he proclaimed "This is the place", as in where they would settle. Idaho was so interesting to me back then, many of the LDS who wanted to continue to practice polygamy after it was officially outlawed, fled to Idaho where they could continue to practice in a rural area mostly free of persecution. Back then, much of the LDS pioneers ( many who were immigrants from other countries) had died, the antique stores in these small town Idaho areas were full of their belongings.
My Grandparents mothers & fathers were alive during the civil war. One had letters that she read to us that Fredrick Douglas was a hero in the West. Most westerners were against slavery.
6:40 is that the Braithwaite manor lol
I think so
I'm finding it very hard to get through this video
I agree! all he does is talk about slavery. There were more things that went on in the 1850s than slavery 🙄 good Lord.
ADD ?
A lot of misinformation. A very BASIC history lesson
Great video. It would be nice if you provided some sources for a few of your claims, such as your claim about violence and how often it occurred. The video description area would be a great place for this type of information.
About violence (systematic torture), read Edward Baptist's excellent (if disturbing) book, "The Half Has Never Been Told" (2014).
@@JR-pr8jb thank you for the recommendation.
“Take a train or cart or whatever across the Panama Canal”
Not in 1850
Thanks from Germany. Really good and helpfull Video. Ist's a bit Like listening top story.
Thank you so much for all your effort! This is helping me with my novel 😁
Lincoln Co-authored the proposed corwyn amendment which would have kept slavery permanent in the south. He also said he thought the emancipation proclamation would have been just a war time measure and would be nullified after the war.
Lincoln didn't co-author the Corwin Amendment 😂
You are a Lost Causer.
I like how this guy is neutral politically in his narrating.
There was also either a group of Shakers or group with similar separation beliefs in eastern PA. They died out because, well, no procreation, and they didn't leave their compound. They wore one garment in the six cold months, and another another for the hot six. I don't know if they bathed or washed the garment during the wearing time. The sex separation didn't shock me, all I could think of was the smell.
Would be much better to have moving pictures. Sounds more like a podcast
🟥🟥🟥🟥I used to listening to a series of professors speaking on history. I was different lectures everyday. One expert explained the history that most schools leave out, 1500's to the mid 1700''s of early America. He said that there was more slaves early on then colonist. Many blacks were also free. If you chose to be baptized in early america and were a slave, they would set you free. He also said it was in the slave owners best interest not to beat the slaves being you get more work out of people if you treat them fair. Also slaves that were troublemakers were usually the ones most likely to be punished "Rapist, tormenting, beating other slaves and so forth". There also was a lot of blacks who were slave owners. I think this video maker needs to explore early america at greater depth.
15:04 'you wake up and go from ? to ? ' what's that word again? couldn't comprehend
Thank you for the video
I miss the 50s... The 1850s.
I live in Wisconsin (Milwaukee). On a trip north of the city I noticed a lot of the farms have signs out front with the dates of their history. I noticed several had dates of 1848. I believe the last native Americans were removed from this area around the mid-1830's.
I truly hope these people aren't memorializing that😢
I like how you are bringing US History back into the world. Its is important to know your history to understand your present. As i was watching your video though, I was wondering what was your source that in 1850 only about 5% of Northerners were against slavery [~40min]
As far back as several decades before 1850, the issue of not allowing slavery was so significant a part of the American political consciousness as to already be affecting the admission of states to the Union (resulting in Missouri Compromise of 1820). In order for that to be an issue of such weight to the elected members of Congress, there had to be *far* more than 5% of the electorate in those Northern States for which abolishment of slavery was an issue or those Representatives would not have had the political imperative and impetus to fight so hard to prevent slave states entering the Union or to ensure slavery was not allowed in any other new states formed in the entire Louisiana Territory
In addition, there was an entire Underground Railroad set up to move escaped slaves all the way from the South to Canada which was fully operational by the 1850's and had been operating for years, helping over 40,000 slaves by that time. That network would have to have involved a *significantly* large group of *highly* involved and dedicated people. Since a core/dedicated group of any political cause is usually only a fraction of the total believers, this would strongly indicate that even the most dedicated/ core group was large enough to indicate a supporting group of far more than 5% of the Northern population.
Finally, Lincoln was elected less than 10 years later with 180 of 323 electoral votes in an election where he wasn't even listed on the ballot in 10 slave owning states. For the outcome of that election to have been such, Lincoln would have had to carry almost every Northern non-slave state as well as having done well in some other border states. That would mean that 5% of the Northern population being against slavery somehow ballooned to 60-80% in a matter of less than 10 years, without any changes to the current social structure, education or science on racial differences, or social media or other methods of mass political propaganda dissemination. Heck, the fact that he wasnt even allowed on the ballot in the 10 slave owning states showed the anti-slavery movement *in the South* was probably much more than 5% of the population even there.
These are of course just critical thinking/ circumstantial conflicts with the 5% number before and after 1850 and there may be some other factors or events which make the 5% number possible so if you have a source for that number I would like to look into things further to advance my understanding.
Thank You in advance :)
In reality most white Americans (including Lincoln) were ambivalent at best about African slavery. Certainly most would not have wanted to fight a war to free slaves as preservation of the union (white people) was the main reason the North committed to arms.
Several claims that Historo makes just don't add up. If 1.25% of the white population each owned 20 or more slaves that alone would be over 25% of the population added to all the slaves that were owned by the 24% of the white pop that had up to 5 slaves. If this was the case the slaves would be about as many as the whites. Also he claims that southern agriculture was based on crops that won't grow in the north, his first example was tobacco which then and now is grown in Connecticut.
@@rembrandt972ify Yeah.. I find a lot of these guys who have these leftist narratives have very convincing , factual-seeming presentations, but when you start to really look at the facts/ details they base their conclusions on, they either dont make sense or fall apart completely.
The socialist/ leftist narrative just doesnt work, which is why every socialist movement is intent on changing history or creating a false narrative about current realities and truth. They cannot present a good argument in support of socialism by presenting truth.
There's no way to tell if the presenter is a deliberate promoter of false narratives or just a "useful idiot" who fell for one of the narratives and thinks they are doing a service to society by promoting it.
I have found that discussions can go round and round, so when I start seeing "facts" that just dont add up with the slightest research, I usually ask for sources.
I have yet to have one of these leftist/ socialism promoters provide any sources for the "facts" they present. I think if they cannot provide sources, it tells you everything you need to know about their narratives.
The sad part is they do so much damage to the historical literacy of the readers of their narratives and the preservation and understanding of history itself. The really sad part is this guy is a history teacher. It gives us all concern for our youth.
@@rembrandt972ify He literally did say that lol. Slaves made up the majority of the population in certain areas and made up a third of the population of the south.
Also he said crops that typically don't grow in those regions, and no tobacco is not a crop that is typically grown in most northern regions of the US, that does not mean there aren't exceptions
@@imronburgundy69 Tobacco is also grown in Pennsylvania and Ohio, both not exactly Deep South. Pennsylvania is 5th among states in production even though tobacco doesn't grow there, supposedly.
Historo can't math and his ignorance of history is laughable.

My family has lived in New Mexico for generations, they were here in 1850 certainly. It’s odd, I’m American without a shadow of a doubt. Hearing someone say my ancestors are barely American, or that it’s odd to call us American is very strange. After the American empire conquered New Mexico, I most certainly had family members born, born into American citizenship. If america didn’t want them to be Americans they would’ve stayed out of Mexico. But they were conquered by Americans, they were Mexican/Spaniards, but they too most certainly were Americans. Just like the Goths were Roman.

I saw you flashed a picture of Oak Alley plantation when you were giving an example of the big plantation homes in the south. Oak alley is only about 45 minutes from me. I live right outside of New Orleans. It’s still open to this day,. I love it so much because of all of the big beautiful oak trees lining the entrance road going to the house. However, I’m not blind to some of the horrors that most likely took place there for African-Americans. It was probably a hell for them! Where as you and I being white people, we look at it and see a beautiful home. Anyway thanks for the great video. Very interesting. I could tell you put a lot of time and research into it
Good program, thanks. The xenophobia of this period was also very prevalent in “Midwestern “ cities. Cincinnati was the 6th largest city . Steamboats loaded and unloaded huge amounts of cargo and passengers traveling east and west on the Ohio River and other inland rivers. Cincinnati was the major port for this trade. The city also developed the largest meat packing industry in the world (Porkopolis) . This attracted thousands of Irish and German and free blacks from the south because of plentiful jobs. They of course were resented ( and attacked ) by the exiting white Protestant residents, similar to your descriptions of the Eastern cities.
Hello I'm writing a historical fiction novel. Were there also some non-spanish white settlers in New Mexico during this time? But just not many of them? Did they raid some pueblos?

There's a few adjustments that would offer greater alignment for more accurate conception, any data corresponding to the subject, and for clarity.
The line should have a blurry effect for it represents a border of fading North/South, particularly for the era and the perspectives in that time.
Maryland is too far removed in it's geographic location for the Agriculture and the Social Environment, the "Mindset, Customs, and Standard of Living".
Virginia would be the northern most point. Southern Illinois would be outside of Dixie but sharing the Values, though Slavery would be absent earlier, Missouri would be in with the Southern venue, except St Louis and Kansas City.
Corn is a prevalent Midwestern crop Iowa, Nebraska, and down through Illinois and into Northern Dixie.
It would not have been a Cash Crop in Lower South Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, (the Carolinas, Virginia) these + Kentucky (being more Tobacco Producing Areas)
The "South, Tennessee to the Gulf, Cotton, and Deep South Lower Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, also planted Sugar Cane, Indigo, in addition to Cotton, for Cash Crops. Soybeans filled in in Tennessee and areas around TN at some point. Meaning, they likely grew another bean back when, that requires Agriculture Records to validate.
There's been a change in the times since then in this area and many life common experiences, but I assure you, the "Southern Fundamentalist Manner of Mind/Thought Thinking" has changed little.
The fact it being "all of the Public is influenced in learning their reality, or idea there of, is through": home/parents/family, peers/social environment, Religion, and in 20th Century, the News Media, Entertainment Medias.
This applies to all, White and Black, etc.
The owners of enslaved peoples limited what they heard from outside and even their Religion was monitored. To keep revolts at bay.
It still is an unfathomable imagining of a Person owning another Human.
Definitely required a learned belief system.

You can see in the painting that slaves were well fed and clothed.
Do you honestly think that depiction is true. Who made those illustrations. Guessing not a slave.
Are you a slave apologist? Look to your employer that is your slave master.
They probably were decently fed. You can't get effective manual labor out of people if they aren't. Remember those slaves would be considered expensive property, you wouldn't want to waste that. Not to mention you need good harvests to make a profit
Most Americans work for basic needs. Then and now. No extras. Same as slaves. Slavery never ended.
500,000 miles is a lot ???
Massachusetts also played a very large role in Patrolling Runaway slaves for a hefty fee
You should go look at a book called the history of the southern rebellion written, 18 60s. And then one of the early chapters it states that the legislator body of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina basically all of the southern states came within two or three votes in 1861 of voting slavery out so that kind of goes a little bit against what you’re saying although I enjoyed your commentary on the south I am a southerner, but I do not believe, the whole issue was slavery although it was a part and it was a sad thing 40:47 40:49

Outstanding discussion. For the overwhelmingly decisive role of slavery in America's rise to world economic dominance via cotton, read Edward Baptist's study, "The Half Has Never Been Told" (2014). Systematic torture was vital to increasing cotton production.
Kinda like people did building the pyramids ?
Kentucky wasn't a southern state. It's population was divided but the state itself was part of the union.
There was a lot of sexual violence against women and girls for the usual awful reasons but also to "breed" more enslaved people. And families were frequently separated through sale. So walking traumatized people from thosr things alone. On a big plantation on which the enslaved are numerous the violence might be more intense because of the threat to the whites. When you read descriptions of the enslaved you also see tons of untreated injuries and conditions -- poorly set bones, sores, etc. So not in good shape physically and still forced to work.

Massachusetts was the 1st state to legalize slavery and Massachusetts was the 1st state to illegalize slavery.
It wasn't just early America, apparently Africa wasn't exactly opposed to the idea of selling people as slaves either.
Is it too late to return Texas, we still have the receipt.
I googled Mauritania. Slavery is illegal. People certainly 'care' and there have been ongoing efforts to bring criminal slaveholders to justice both from the Mauritanian government and international agencies.
This is EXTREMELY spotty and spends a lot of time on minor groups- Mormons, slaves in the south, etc, and not too much on the average person.
In some southern states, a third of the people were slaves, though.
Wrong. Slaves did receive wages!
Heartbreaking
Great presentation. Sometime, maybe you could do one on Northern slaves....3 of the northern states in the 'Union" remained slave states and there are many other unpopular but true facts about the north. Also maybe you could talk about how the slaves were treated by the north when they came here to burn homes and crops leaving even slaves hungry. Just some of the things that nobody has the cohoneys to talk about.
No I am pretty sure everyone is clear on how the slaves were treated....most view it as history & isn't something that is the center piece & focus of every single conversation. Women were treated close to the same & that's not something focused on constantly. Yeah it happened....we know. The towns people would also all gathered around & watched people of all races being hung, burned at the stake, firing squad, stoning, beheading.
A Different time & mentality including in africa ,...people around the world were brutal....some still are.
As someone who did not grow up with God in my life, and being a dedicated Christian adult; it truly disgusts me to know they used Christianity to justify slavery. How could anyone read the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and think it is okay to treat humans like animals. In truth we are to treat even our animals with dignity.
Was this about the 1850's or slavery
Alligator bait Subjected to unbelievable cruelties
Panama Canal was not built till 1914
Square miles not miles. Great video though
What about feeding babies to the alligators tell them about that
Couple of things. Slaves probably had a better and more diverse diet than whites. Slaves would eat food that whites would look down upon like mustard and collard greens. Slaves usually were allowed an allotment in which they could maintain vegetable gardens (reminiscent of serfs living on Medieval Feudal estates).
As for crops, it's not a year 'round job. For cotton there'd be the plowing, then the sowing. Not a lot to do with them in the fields for months until the harvest in early winter. Then comes the harvesting. Then the seed picking (later ginning). Finally the chopping, gathering and burning of the stalks.
In between would be maintenance and sundry projects such as digging or repairing drainage ditches, fences, land clearing, etc. There's always something to do on a farm/plantation, but plowing, planting and harvesting aren't 24/7 365 days a year jobs.
Also, it was common for slaveholders to hire out their slaves to other plantations or businesses. Some especially who had skills such as blacksmiths could work almost independently, and earn money for themselves.
Thanks! I learned a lot yet growing up a country boy, farmers don’t share much info and would rather watch a new comer learn by their own mistakes while sitting on the porch having a good laugh! One thing I will advise you of and it’s fact. If you’re a hard worker all it will do is get you more hard work! Until your broke down and then you might get an easier job. A good education does a body good. The word slave gets thrown around a lot in politics but in the real world we know the true meaning of the word! Every time you drive across a bridge remember lol, built by either union slaves or nonunion slaves. The word slave goes a lot farther than skin deep! Stay in school or politics cause real world 🌎 drones sound more like the word you’re looking for.
We had shakers near where I live in Lexington Ky. I’ve been to “Shaker village”.
