    There were a surprising amount of civil wars within a single state, which never get talked about. Are you going to do more videos like this one? I personally would recommend the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island. Both sides fought each other for months, and the federal government in DC actually decided it didn't care and didn't to intervene.

    • @joshuajasper5984
      @joshuajasper5984 Рік тому

      @OURO8ORUO The precident is actually the opposite, usually the federal government intervenes by sending in troops or arresting everyone after it happens (think of the Whiskey Rebellion, for instance). At least that's my understanding of the history (I might be wrong). In the case of Rhode Island though, there is clear evidence that the federal gov knew some of what was happening and actively decided that they did not care who won and wouldn't get involved.

      I forget the county/state, but after the great war, the veterans returning home found their town & county being overtaken by crooks.
      The vets had to retake their town from the criminals who took power during their time away at war.
      it led to a massive gun fight at a prison over the ballots when the crooks attempted to seize the ballot boxes & hid in the prison (trying to stuff the ballot boxes) and also used their crooked police force to physically assault anyone at the poll booths who would vote for the veterans and tried to illegally arrest the veterans.
      Finally the vets had enough and got their weapons and sieged the prison to get the ballot boxes back, while the town cheered them on.
      wish I could remember the county and the state it happened in.

    Might I recommend Edwin Stanton, best Secretary of Defense (and of War) in US history as far as I am concerned. When Andrew Johnson fire him he said “no” and arrested the guy who was meant to be his replacement. Mega chad

      Didn’t Johnson have to eventually backtrack on sacking Stanton, too?

      Edit: Yep, Stanton just stayed in his office and called Johnson’s bluff; he wound up resigning after the impeachment on his own terms

    You know who needs a Life & Times? Philippe Bunau-Varilla. Here is my brief summary of the most interesting thing he did:
    Person: So you created an entirely new country, acted as its diplomatic envoy despite having few if any ties to the country or any background in international relations, and got the US to finance it all?
    Bunau-Varilla: Yes.
    Person: Why?
    Bunau-Varilla: M O N E Y
    There's a play called 1903 (basically the Panamanian Hamilton) that gets Bunau-Varilla exactly right.
