You were wrong. Lincoln did win the popular vote. Lincoln won with over 1,800,000 votes. Douglous got just over 1,000,000, while the other two candidates received less than 700,000.
That's why I want the whole series now so I can play it again and have this to watch for context. I lost hundreds of men for the dopamine hit of catching a supply wagon. Warhawk has an equally great show on the civil war.
This game's combat is top notch. The technical lead for this game also created DarthMod for Napoleon Total War. All of the units have weight and the game does a great job of simulating momentum.
@@castlereagh3256 there were darthmods for several other total war games, I played the empire version. fun, but getting the new world colonised was a pita when drafted units drew from the local pop
So many people unfortunately think they would be the same, if a new USA civil war happened it would be a forever war because other nations would definitely intervene. Also politics are not north vs south anymore, they are rural vs urban and the rural people control the entire food supply and have nearly all the guns. It would be a travesty, we would see breakaway regions that are puppets of other nations like russia, radical militias killing people for having the "wrong beliefs" or skin color, and the complete dismantling of America. If only America focused on building its infrastructure and bettering its people's lives over blowing up people halfway across the world, this wouldn't be an issue. The american empire is dead, and its arrogance killed it, like what happened with rome and what happened with the portuguese empire in the 70s-90s (yeah that was really recent).
11:26 Just want to give clarification that Lincoln not winning the popular vote means he didn't win >50% overall, but as there was four parties all running candidates at the time (compared to only two today), Lincoln still won a higher percentage than the other three candidates, with ~40% of the vote to second place Douglas's ~21%. The other two major candidates, Bell and Breckinridge took ~12 and ~14% respectively.
Kings and Generals sure has a way of choosing the most interesting timing for some of his best historic content. Almost as if he attempts to mimic a foreshadowing of sorts.
@@Eagler-yc7yx Releasing the video around election day when the United States is already fearful of a second civil war is the underlying them of Op's comment about foreshadowing events. For instance project 2025 reflects many of the things mentioned in the video about political ideology of who is recognised as a citizen and who's rights are protected. This then continues to detail how southern states would hold on to power despite changing demographics and how they would remain steadfast in their current policy without need to change with the times. So it could very much be a scary foreshadowing, should the next term proceed as people fear the most.
@@flackstar007 It’s pretty simple. If you came here illegally, you are not a citizen. You are, by definition, a criminal. If you came here legally, but have not yet been granted citizenship, you are not a citizen. Welcome to America, thanks for doing it legally, and we’ll be happy when you get your citizenship, the right way. If you’re born here, you’re a citizen. Personally I’m not a fan of the anchor baby loophole, and would like to get rid of it. But, it exists as of now.
12:40 Hardly surprising. General Houston spent so many years as a general fighting the Mexicans and Comanches and also as President of independent Texas trying to get Texas into the Union. He would unfortunately die before Texas rejoined it.
One of his sons fought for the Confederacy and his friends threw him under the bus by not supporting secession. This and what you said resulted him dying of a broken heart. Yeah, it's really sad if you think about it, but since this was during 19th century USA... stuff happens.
Sam Houston's original plan for Texas was a utopian society for whites and Native Americans to share the land. After having had Burnet and Lamar destroy the Texian relations with the Comanche and other tribes and the overthrow of the Santa Anna regime led to Mexico refusing to recognize the Treaty signed at San Jacinto, Sam Houston felt he had little choice but to pursue union with the US. It was something he avoided in part due to political and personal scandal when he was a Congressmen in Tennessee and an embarrassment to President Andrew Jackson.
If anyone was looking for a more detailed overview of the fighting, Warhawk's channel is working to cover the war in its entirety. However, he has only just gotten past Antietam. As it is, kudos to Kings and Generals for starting a series about one of our country's darkest chapters in history.
Warhawk is pretty good, though I've noticed a significant Lost Cause bias to it. E.g. Confederates are always described as "noble defenders to the last" while Union units are "a mob that died poorly." Still good info, just something to be vigilant about.
Of course, and given his accent, he more than likely grew up with the Lost Cause nonsense. However, I’ve yet to find anyone else who goes into detail with battle map animations like he does, other than TIK, and he’s sus as well.
Thank you for the video about American Civil war in 1861-1865, i think as a Korean American citizen you K&G you guys were the best historical channels that i have ever seen in my entire life, so i wanna thank you for inspiring me to learn more about other history lessons. You deserve like from me so thank you very much Kings and Generals. Keep up the great work. :)
@aidanmcmillan-dx8lq Yeah, but i am interested in global history. Even if i am a South Korean, well, the Mongol Empire history was the reason why I liked to start learning about history since 2013. Since I needed a knowledge to learn about other history lessons from a detailed channel's. But still thank you for your concern, I really appreciate it.
"History does not repeat, but it does rhyme" The biggest mistake that societies have made is allowing wealth to have more power. We are repeating that mistake.
@@CJ-uf6xl At this point voting won't change the outcome. At best removing rich oligarchs from positions of power would do this, yet grifters like Muck and Trump are too entrenched to be removed. Thus the next best thing to do is sit back and watch the united states slowly turn on itself (while it plays the blame game lead by the media), and only after the south lose the next war as well would the nation return to normality for a time (or it could splinter into a few smaller nation states and fade away from being a global power as it is now).
I like your production. I've seen a lot of videos and was not expecting anything new, but I was pleasantly surprised. I like the way you framed the issues.
Just FYI. In downtown St. Louis the courthouse where Dred Scott was heard can be visited. It is part of the national park that includes the Gateway Arch.
Oh my god everytime I hear about James Buchanan I realise he must have likely been the most incompetent man to ever hold a significant position of power in like the history of humankind ever.
@@therealerictatkinson8311 You mean the president who oversaw low unemployment, who brought inflation to 2.4%, half of what Trump governed through, and who tried to bring in a tough border control policy only for the Republikkkans to kill?
@@therealerictatkinson8311 Lool that comparison is beyond reasonable. Did a Democrat piss in your cornflakes this morning? Biden has been nowhere near as over-all incompetent as this piece of human garbage. Trump has ALSO not been anywhere near as incompetent as this. In fact, Buchanan is (luckily) one of the few presidents to (at least in retrospect) defy party lines in his incompetence. He achieved practically nothing worthwhile for either side of the political spectrum, which is worse than Biden or Trump or anyone else in the last 50 years.
A solid overview. To do full justice to the topics covered would take a mini-series -- and while I'd personally love something like that, I don't think it makes sense for this channel to go into that kind of depth on that (or really any) topic. Good stuff.
Yes one of the craziest parts of First Manassas/Bull Run was when Union soldiers attacked a confederate position and the confederate were wearing blue shouted you're shooting at your own men only for the union to turn around be shot in the back but also be shot at from the union lines as they were advancing back. Fairly certain it was a Wisconsin unit. Warhawk a mostly US Civil War page here on UA-cam covers the civil war in very good detail. Anyone should check him out if interested in the American Civil War.
Yeah, neither "army" was much of an army. They were barely controlled or organized mobs. Neither army got it's crap together until a year or two in. the Union kept improving, the south had no such opportunity to regenerate, retrain, and improve. By late war, that told.
11:26 Lincoln Did win the popular vote with 39% of it. Douglas had 21% and the Southern options had 40% combined. He did not have a majority of the overall vote but he was by far the most popular
That's not winning the popular vote. Lincoln received the most popular votes, so he won a plurality of them. However, winning the popular at minimum implies he won 50%+1 popular votes, and he didn't.
My great-great grandfather picked the worst time to try and homestead, finding himself in Bleeding Kansas between John Brown’s Abolitionists and the Jayhawkers. He heard about the Cherry Creek gold strike outside of what is today Denver, CO and decided to take his chances there instead and upped stakes.
Listening to the run-up to Ft. Sumter, I was struck at just how similar it all felt, at the rhetoric level at least, to what is happening today. I hope that doesn't prove to carry through to the end. 😕 Great video! This is such a present example of why we need to be educated and informed in regards to history and current events!
Oh man....I hope you do a bunch of videos on the American Civil War. Gettysburg alone would give you some much content to release. Thanks for another great episode
The most important conflict in American history. Yet so few of our own People Know how it was fought, or how much suffering was involved. It will be a privilege to see this rectified.
0:26 As a Minnesotan I am confused about your map here. What river is that coming down from Minnesota into Iowa? It cannot be the Mississippi, the Minnesota, or the Des Moines rivers. It’s like a combination of them
The English Independent Calvary formed towards the close of the war. After the unions scorched earth campaign began, TC English got in the fight. A doctor and having already lost a son. A son who for a time was held by his own uncle as a POW after the battle of Kennesaw Mountain. As it happens, he was named after him. George, Lt George McClellan English. My grandfather Thomas C English was married to his sister Frederica S McClellan. And his other son Arthur was my grandfather, George's brother. POW camp funk ultimately killed him. The men that served under Capt TC English? Over ⅔ of them were related. Same families that slaughtered each other on both sides of every scrap that ever was in that region. English, Deas, Chestnut, Adams, Coone, Moniac, Driesbach, Weathford, Booth, Singleton, McKenzie, McClellan, Hadley, Dyer... to name a few. If we find ourselves in opposing view, may we never find ourselves in violent opposition to one another. (As my brother is fond of saying, I'll miss you, cousin... but I won't miss.) K&G, good story, good day for the upload.
This is a great video, don't get me wrong, but you might want to move Montgomery a bit further north that it seems to be positioned on this map, it's a lot farther from Florida, much closer to the rivers.
I always liked how the pro slavery Chief Justice Roger Taney eventually got replaced by Salmon Chase who was an anti-slavery activist from New Hampshire
Just saying but an interesting fact about the 1860 election is that John Bells choice for vice president was the reverend Edward Everett who is best known for speaking for over two hours right before Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg address during the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg national cemetery.
I do recall Atun -Shei Films mentioning in a video that the "Stonewall" nickname may have more to do with the origin of his troops, either from some county or a valley named "Stonewall"
The most common story is the one in the video, but nobody's sure if it's the result of mythmaking or what actually happened. There are many possible explanations, but the important bit is that Jackson got the nickname as the result of this battle.
Fun fact i recently learned. The commander of Fort Sumter actually lived here in KY, and has a sign to symbolize where he lived, which now has an eye doctor next to it.
Historian Hether Cox Richardson’s post showing the parallels between the 1850s and today’s politics fits very well within this videos framework. Fascinating to see history rhyming once again with the uniting of different political factions to defeat sedition and secessionist movements. The Supreme Court’s also parallel quite nicely with justices beholden to a few wealthy individuals Bent on slashing the rights of American citizens. We now stand at a crossroads as our forefathers did in the 1850s.
Comparing the overturning of Roe v Wade to the Dredd Scott decision is insane. In the Dredd Scott case, SCOTUS attempted to dictate federal policy and dehumanized afrian americans. By overturning Roe SCOTUS made it an issue for state governments, giving them the right to vote on wether they consider unborn babies to be human or not. The Republicans are still on the right side of history just like in the 1860s.

Wait really? From Kentucky and never heard of this
Timing 🤌🏻
Oh, the timing of this video? Stellar 😅
Finaly a civil war battle video
Excellent video!
Historian Hether Cox Richardson’s post showing the parallels between the 1850s and today’s politics fits very well within this videos framework. Fascinating to see history rhyming once again with the uniting of different political factions to defeat sedition and secessionist movements. The Supreme Court’s also parallel quite nicely with justices beholden to a few wealthy individuals Bent on slashing the rights of American citizens. We now stand at a crossroads as our forefathers did in the 1850s.
Comparing the overturning of Roe v Wade to the Dredd Scott decision is insane. In the Dredd Scott case, SCOTUS attempted to dictate federal policy and dehumanized afrian americans. By overturning Roe SCOTUS made it an issue for state governments, giving them the right to vote on wether they consider unborn babies to be human or not. The Republicans are still on the right side of history just like in the 1860s.
LOL. Heather Cox Richardson, a hack who can't but shoe-horn her personal political bias into "history."
