    Yes, the emancipation proclamation was made to ensure the Europeans wouldn't interfere in the war on the side of the confederacy by saying "see, we're not fighting a civil war to keep those states from forming their own country, we're doing it because we want to free the slaves and they're throwing a hissy fit", both of which was true but the latter made it hard for Europeans to interfere as they would be helping slavers and not an independence movement anymore.

    Important point: Spain did try to enslave the natives at first, but because their initial mandate for colonizing the Americas was to convert the natives, the pope forbid slavery of the natives. Africans were fair game though, which is why they imported those slaves and never enslaved the natives that survived the diseases.

    • @crimson1453
      @crimson1453 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spain did not try and enslave the Natives at any point lmao. What you're talking about with the pope was called the bull Sublimus Dei and it took place in 1537. The Spanish in 1512 with the Leyes de Burgos had already established the fact that they didn't want to enslave the Natives. This was 25 years before the pope said anything. Stop posting about things you have no clue about. Even with common sense you'd know this isn't true because the conquest of the Aztecs happened before it and they weren't enslaved and neither were the surrounding tribes. They were rewarded for their help in the conquest.
      PS: even African slavery wasn't a big thing until the 1800s where Spain needed manual labour for Cuba. Before that Spain brought in about 200,000 black slaves in 300 years or so. To put this into perspective the Portuguese had carried over 4 million, the British over 2 million by this point in time.

My mother was so happy when the state of California abolished the separate schools rule, but by that time she was almost out of high school.

    It's my understanding that the majority of America wanted to reconcile with Great Britain. It was only a small group that actually wanted independence and was influenced by the French, making it clear that independence was the only way forward.
    While independence was granted, a lot of Galloway's plans to preserve the American colonies as part of the British Empire had actually come to pass.
    Galloway had testified in 1779 as to what happened, the plans and any debate on it were specifically excluded from the official records of Congress, giving little evidence as to what happened when his plan was reconsidered. Despite a "gag order" on members of congress, many spoke on the matter, including William and Benjamin Franklin.

      Not really it’s actually pretty long, American history goes back thousands of years before Europeans came but history wasn’t as well recorded by the people then. If we are talking about US independence and counting since then as US history, then US history is actually older than German history as Germany has only existed in its current form since 1949.
      The US current governing system has existed for 247 years which is actually way longer than most countries on earth. The US has a history that spans at least back to the 15 and 1600s based off of European colonization, but it still has 10s of thousands of years of Native American history.

    Actually, President Eisenhower was not very concerned about the launch of Sputnik1, I wrote my junior thesis on the early years of the space race. Also, you claim that America claimed victory after beating the Soviets to the moon, but that because it was the only thing they beat the soviets to, it wasn’t that significant. However, that isn’t entirely true because the US matched all of the Soviet accomplishments soon after, and then beat them to the moon, the difference is that the soviets never got there, demonstrating the US’s technological superiority.

    Colombus: I'm good at calculations but damn I'm bad at math

  • @benjamies4136

    I like George carlins perspective on the pearl harbor attack, but of course as a history of all of the us it's much less nuanced.
    If I remember correct in Supernova of the East, he puts forth that Japan was deathly afraid because of one simple reason, and it is the thing that sinks the entire axis, oil.
    There are communications that survived of the prime minister discussing just how much oil they spend a hour, and it's insane like 400,000 a hour, their synthetic factories just couldn't keep pace, and the thing that is so important to remember is that they were still fighting in China. And even worse America was supplying them.
    At this point Japan has been fighting China for 4 years, they know they need to take these oil deposits, but no one, at least according to Dan carlin, wanted this war with America, as high up as the prime minister, the emperor's culpability is iffy as I'm sure you're aware.
    He is the problem, Japan's way of life at that point would not have let the war with China go. The bushido and Yamato way of life made it damn near impossible for them to turn left when there were so many forks in the road.
    And then Tojo came, and the army finally won(which is funny because the navy was pretty against it because as Dan carlin puts it "they knew they would be the ones doing most of the fighting" which... because of the USS Enterprise and well, obviously.
    Here is a great question Dan asked, comparing it kind of like 9/11; if Japan warned America after the deadline for leaving China before a embargo, would the American response been so dramatic? Would we have been as... wrathful in our inevitable response? Because Japan knew they would not and could not win when they heard no carriers were destroyed, that is known. But what if a day or two notice, if we just decided to get into a first major engagement together? Would Americans been more willing to just say screw it to the pacific?

    His math wasn't actually that wrong. The guess for the size of Asia was wrong. Everyone thought Asia was was more collasal than it is. So much more that just going the other way was tried out on top of going around Africa. He thought at first he found Cipangu, aka Japan. But later found/guessed correctly that he had found something new.

    Thing is if you go by maps made at the time, apparently people also overestimated the size of Asia, so going off of that and his calculations, it's reasonable to see why he thought he was somewhere off the coast of Japan.

    To be fair, yes, the Soviet Union beat the United States to space, to orbit and to the moon. However, it’s a HUGE telling point that TO DATE six missions WITH PEOPLE landed on the moon and they were all from the United States. Fifty FIVE years later that feat has yet to be achieved by any other country, group or business. Personally, I’d call that a pretty telling win.
