Great lecture - excellent insights - full of wisdom...
Dr. Blight is an excellent speaker on the topic of the USA & CSA Civil War History. But the 13th Amendment only abolished 'Involuntary Servitude & Slavery' within the US and any place subject to their jurisdiction. So, slavery remained legal outside the US in places such as Cuba and The Caribbean Islands, Central & South America, Mexico, and eventually The Hawaiian Islands, The Philippines, and any place 'outside the US that any corporation decided to invest their business. It did NOT make it illegal to continue and/or start slavery for corporations, but restricted the 'Independent Ownership' of humans as personal property within the US. This was intentional, to destroy the wealth of the Southern States as punishment for their succession from the US, and reward Northern States with the ability to become more wealthy from 'Corporate Slavery' outside the US. US slavery still existed in Cuba until their Revolution and still exists today in MANY countries. We simply pretend that this is a form of 'Voluntary Servitude' and paying people 'Slave Wages' is OK if we don't see it or know about it.
Abraham Lincoln promised to NOT end slavery if elected to the Office of President of the U.S., and of course 'Domestic Slavery' (Maids, Cooks, Butlers, Nurses, etc.) was very common among the wealthy Northern States, as well as Field Workers, Horse & Livestock Care, Blacksmiths, and Farm Hands were quite prevalent and necessary for White People. The Civil War was fought because the Northern States would not allow the future States to democratically decide if they would allow slavery or not; but can the Federal Gov't could prevent new slave states from entering the Union.? And the Southern States wanted to leave the USA and form their own independent Nation, and they did; but can the Federal Gov't prevent States the freedom to leave the Union they joined.? And, of course, the Northern States wanted to control the Federal Gov't, which they did by getting Lincoln elected without winning 1 Southern State. The Civil War was NOT fought over Emancipation & Slavery,,, It was a War to decide the future course of the Country... Freedom & States Rights or Elected Tyranny & Submission.
