1. the north had slaves too up until the end of the civil war....i hate how they call it free states...no they were not some states had ten to fifteen thousand slaves even more then some southern states ironically
I actually understood pretty much everything in school but ofc I'm not the only student in the school.The study material is made to only appeal to the ones who are either interested or are smart which is a few. Thats the problem with the education system
He has more specific details about the wars. It’s just not feasible for a history teacher to instruct hundreds of students on every major detail of every American war. Give em some slack. Most of the time it is the students inept ability to understand the material that handicaps their knowledge of American history. Y’all just don’t wanna admit you didn’t pay any attention lol. Even in California I learned that Abraham Lincoln wasn’t exactly pro emancipation until 1863. Just saying my thoughts though, it’s not at all a big deal to me xD
the assassination of Lincoln, to me, is the most tragic part of the entire US history and theres quite a few of them so that really tells you something the biggest tragedy a nation can endure is to have a national hero or national figure rise up and save the nation only to needlessly die for the cause in the end, a sacrifice that only happened because of human nature
That and the failure of Reconstruction. Had Lincoln lived to oversee it instead of Johmson, I wonder if we would have as many of the problems we do today.
thinking the death of ANY one man even approaches being 'the most tragic' thing in our history is completely insane... his death didn't unsave the nation nor was it a sacrifice to anything. i hate how stupid people can be.
17:32 when the war began, confederate President Jefferson Davis was largely respected by the southern populace. Now, they were just plain sick of him. Davis had become increasingly draconian as the war dragged on, and he had an aversion to delivering speeches to the confederate lower and middles classes (he only did this twice during the war, while Lincoln delivered speeches to these groups of people in the north consistently). On top of that, Davis was starting to be seen as a man out of touch with reality. When Grant finally defeated Lee at Petersburg, Davis was in church attending the Sunday service. The sermon was interrupted when a boy, not much older than ten, barefoot, exhausted, and wearing the tattered remains of a confederate army uniform, burst through the doors of the church and delivered a note the the confederate president. The note was unsigned, but Davis recognized the handwriting as Lee’s, and it had only one sentence: “my lines are broken in three places, the capital must be evacuated tonight”. While the other confederate leaders were horrified, Davis (possibly trying to keep morale up) insisted that this was a minor setback and that he’d “temporarily” relocate the confederate capital to Danville, about 144 miles southwest of Richmond. Not long afterwards, when he was forced to flee Danville, Davis took a number of troops with him and, while fleeing, did what he called “conducting government by the highway,” signing bills into law and reviewing policy decisions as though nothing had changed. While he might have been doing this to keep morale up, all Davis did was convince most of the remaining confederates that he was delusional. In my opinion, Jefferson Davis never did anything worthy of respect. The only reason why anyone in the south today respects him is because he wrote books and gave speeches about his time as head of the confederate government after he got out of prison. Many older southerners, who remembered having to live under Davis, didn’t buy into his post-prison PR campaign. Unfortunately, the younger generations of southerners did.
Juneteenth was 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, was really only about Texas, and happened 2 months after the Civil War. An important moment sure, but not really a part of the Civil War.
Regarding Juneteenth, it’s called oversimplified for a reason. They can’t include everything. And Juneteenth only affected slaves in Texas. They were the last ones to get the news. Of course it was very meaningful to the slaves in Texas but for rest of the country it didn’t matter much. No one ever heard of Juneteenth Unless they lived in Texas until very recently.
Juneteenth occurred after the Civil War, so while they could have mentioned it; its not really that relevant for these videos. Although obviously an important historical and social moment in the period of reconstruction.
I never see the civil rights movement was good thing, they sold the "slaves" to the same party that McCellen was on which was opposing to end slavery. Had the civil war be about God then they wouldn't follow men that lead them into this mess.
I love these over simplified videos. We use them in our homeschooling history class. I prefer having the kids learn by stories, movies, and entertainment. We only do a bit of memorizing.
So here's some thoughts: 1) Don't cut out his ads (like the one for Honey). Making these videos are his livelihood and if your viewers end up using his code, his channel will be more successful and he'll make more videos for you to react to. Don't cut out his ads. In fact, you should be encouraging your viewers to use his code since you rely on content creators like him. 2) You didn't do much commentary. A better strategy would be to pause the video ever couple minutes, say something about it. Basically, here, you just sorta played the video and watched it along with us. That's not a reaction. That's just watching the video. 3) Have a beeeeeeeyooooootiful day :) Happy holidays!
Fun fact: when in search of Davis....he dressed up like a woman. But when they found him...it was hard for him to run away since he had these high boots so it wasn't to hard to catch him....
Nah....an actual documentary....hell there is even a reenactment of the capture of Jeff davis. But it talked all about it in a book called "Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government" They even have the list of what he was wearing... A dress, hoopskirt, and a shawl..... To summarize: when union soldiers captured him....he was claimed to be wearing his wife's dress and shawl. On may 10th, 1865, Secretary of war Edwin E. Stanton clothed a mannequin, took photos, and sent it to the newspapers. Later, he admitted before Jeff was imprisoned, Jeff had gave him the dress for a press conference to display it...
I love how people say things like "There's absolutely no evidence of this" while also putting in 0% effort into finding out if there is any evidence of this.
For me, one of the most interesting things about the war is the Native American tribes. They fought brother against brother just liked the North and South did. In my opinion, the indigenous population's contribution to the Civil War is one of the most under appreciated aspects of this war. I think it would be surprising today if people realized a large percentage of the Native American tribes supported the Confederacy.
It is pretty remarkable how Union forces took the high point at Lookout Mountain. If you have ever visited Chattanooga, the top of the plateau is a nearly straight up climb of nearly 2,000 feet of elevation. They had cannons facing down hill at them and they still took it.
Juneteenth is about emancipation so yeah they talked about it. Juneteenth as a celebration wasn't mentioned because it didn't exist at the time obviously. Similar to how in the revolutionary war episode they dont really talk about independence day, rather they talk about the signing of the declaration on the 2nd and mentioned it was ratified on the 4th. They dont talk about the fireworks and cookout we have to remember it. Thats how you talk about history, you try to remove modern perspective as much as possible to have a better understanding of the time your studying. I dont think Juneteenth itself was celebrated in any form until in Texas a few years after the war ended.
Obscure Fun fact: Lincoln's wife stayed for a few months in St Augustine FL after her husband was murdered. She stayed with friends in a mansion on Spangler Island located in the middle of the San Sebastian River only accessible by a narrow land bridge.
@@biancham You can time travel by visiting historic places like this and visualize what it must have been like to live then. What were they like? What would they think of things now?
I was lucky in high school. I had a history teacher who taught us history in stories that he told, much like oversimplified. He was so entertaining as well as knowledgable that we all looked forward to the next class. It caused my love of history that I still have to this day.
Fun fact about Sherman's march: to prevent the Confederates from putting the railroad rails back on the tracks, the Union troops would heat them up and wrap them around nearby trees. When they got bored of that, they started bending them into the letters "U S" and leaving them by the tracks. General Sherman: the first American shit-poster.
I loved the subject as a kid. Got lucky and had a series of great teachers who made it interesting and fun. As one of them told us in junior high, "If you don't learn it, you will repeat it's mistakes." I only wish my math teachers had been half as good as those history teachers..😂
What's also sad about Lincoln's assassination, is that he didn't want to "make the South bleed" and wanted a peaceful reconstruction, but other Northerners felt differently and did make the South pay for what they did. You can kind of see the ramifications of that today even because one thing I noticed was how for a time, most of the South voted Democratic because that party for a time was more about lesser government and state rights, but that changed during the 90s when the Democratic Party became more liberal and it was the Republican party that became more conservative.
My 2nd great grandfather Charles Tanner (Vermont/mothers side) fought for the union and ended up in Andersonville (the worst prison “camp” of the civil war). He was somehow able to escape or was released and after a years recovery returned to the fighting but after one more major battle he was unable to continue. He lived until after the war and was able to move his wife and kids to Kansas to procure a farm but he died young as a result of his prior injuries during the war. He was married to a Quaker (2GG) and abolitionist. I have a lot on him as his daughter wrote a diary. My other 2nd great grandfather (fathers side) John C. William fought for the confederacy from Tennessee and he deserted twice because his mom was dying and he had to care for her and he deserted when his wife was having a hard labor (she and baby were fine - thank goodness or I wouldn’t be here!) when he returned he really didn’t get into too much trouble as they needed him. He was a poor farmer and not a slave owner and he was fighting for states rights and right to succeed. I am so glad I live in this era where I can learn about the war. It really was brother fighting brother so to speak. Thank goodness for Lincoln. He was still just a man and not perfect but damn, thank goodness for him.
7:26 Col Joshua L. Chamberlain was in command of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry which only numbered a little over 300 men at the start of the battle. The 20th Maine was on the extreme left of the entire Union which meant that if they were to withdraw, the union feared it would result with the entire left flank being swept up and the Confederate defeating the Union army. On the left side of the hill Little Round Top, the 20th Maine held wave after wave of assaults by Confederates of Alabama. After hours of brutal fighting, the 20th Maine was reduced to under 50% fighting strength with heavy casualties and all ammunition spent, even when the men were ordered to loot any ammunition from their fallen or wounded comrades. At this moment, Chamberlain made the ultimate decision to ‘fix bayonets’ and as the Confederates assaulted towards them, Chamberlain led the remnants of the 20th Maine that were fit to fight in a bayonet charge down the hill. This shocked their attackers who immediately scattered and fled as the 20th Maine charged down the hill, taking many prisoners at the point of the bayonet. Historians still debate whether the Confederates were at all determined to exploit the capture of Little Round Top, but what can be certain was that the charge of the 20th Maine did effectively end any further Confederate assaults and secured the Union Extreme Left. For such command and action, Col Joshua L. Chamberlain would be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I think that's one of the main problems with school is with something like oversimplified it feels like you are getting more of a story thay is filled with basic facts and some jokes (some of the jokes are true too when you look into them) but in school it would be like if you were doing a test it would be more remembering certain things like dates or places and even in the subjects I am interested in..... I can't remember exact dates and the only reason I'd remember the place would be because I read and learned about what happened there or if it was presented in some sort of media and it sparked my interest enough to look into it more
Does ol’ GeorgeMcClellan remind you of anyone? Maybe a person (or group of persons) who can’t face facts & attempts to alter reality in order to keep their delusions alive?
the bloodshed that paid for the end of slavery was certainly massive. And it still took years and generations longer for full equal rights to develop. The way that Lincoln was treated in those times seems quite familiar too.
The problem trying to learn history in school is the eliminate the story about people places and things. In school everything is a picture in a paragraph. Teachers give you enough facts about history just to past a test, and never teach about content, context, or meaning.
The Civil War was the second most important war Americans have ever died for. The following wars were all about politics and land. But, when you look at the death tolls -The Civil War wins. (I am no including WW2) World War 2 was an international war.
When Staci started talking about Juneteenth, I believe she forgot that the video was a OVERSIMPLIFIED history. The video didn't get into depth on most things and left out a boatload of info. Also, it may be noted that Grant's drinking is factually incorrect. He wasn't drinker of spirits, let alone a drunk.
Since him drinking wasn't recorded on youtube, we don't know exactly. But historians argue over whether he was a drunk, a functional alcoholic, or just went on drinking binges from time to time. The video may have been deceptive in indicating that drinking helped Grant, he probably made complex decisions sober, but he clearly liked to drink and likely got his cancers because of this when he wrote his memoirs high on cocaine. They were beautifully written so clearly he didn't need to be sober to function well intellectually.
Juneteenth was not something well known by most people until the past couple years. And while important it was the news spreading to pretty much Texas, was as alot of slaves already knew they were free.
Your smiles when they got to the passage of the 13th amendment, put a smile on my face. If only we had continued to remove the injustice from our country with the same kind of conviction, perhaps we wouldn't be where we still are now. Grant and Sherman both understood you don't win a war with half-measures. Sometimes that's ugly, but it's the truth
You guys might like the fictional British documentary, CSA: The Confederate States of America. It gives an alternative history of North America and the world after the victory of the southern states in the Civil War.
As we have seen with the police protests earlier this year, racist policies still exist at many layers of government policies and laws. Juneteenth was good, but President Johnson after Lincoln was like the south won. Some people only feel good by having some group of people “beneath “ them. For some it’s a certain color, immigrants, Ex cons, religions, whatever. We are human. We are all family. No one deserves being murdered by police on the ground while in handcuffs. Things are getting better, but my god, when will we all be equal USA?
yeah, Lincoln dying was one of the worst things to happen after the war, its very sad and I feel like the America that could of existed had he survived would be better then the present America.

Also, it may be noted that Grant's drinking is factually incorrect. He wasn't drinker of spirits, let alone a drunk.
Since him drinking wasn't recorded on youtube, we don't know exactly. But historians argue over whether he was a drunk, a functional alcoholic, or just went on drinking binges from time to time. The video may have been deceptive in indicating that drinking helped Grant, he probably made complex decisions sober, but he clearly liked to drink and likely got his cancers because of this when he wrote his memoirs high on cocaine. They were beautifully written so clearly he didn't need to be sober to function well intellectually.
Got that same shirt my man!
Saludos desde Uruguay un abrazo ✌🎅🎅
oversimplified has great videos
nice "Dragonballz" shirt Justin lol
Juneteenth was not something well known by most people until the past couple years. And while important it was the news spreading to pretty much Texas, was as alot of slaves already knew they were free.
Abraham Lincoln, maybe the greatest man who ever lived.
What is the song that plays in the starting and end?
Wish I could like twice for the Dragon Ball Z shirt…

It was a butt. Because he said ''but''. These butt-cutaways are normal for his content.
Your smiles when they got to the passage of the 13th amendment, put a smile on my face. If only we had continued to remove the injustice from our country with the same kind of conviction, perhaps we wouldn't be where we still are now. Grant and Sherman both understood you don't win a war with half-measures. Sometimes that's ugly, but it's the truth
You guys might like the fictional British documentary, CSA: The Confederate States of America. It gives an alternative history of North America and the world after the victory of the southern states in the Civil War.
Democrats have never been the same after Gettysburg
Do some more South Park
At least Lincoln went out with a bang.
Too soon.
:P
10:22 BTS?! i’m here to learn but everywhere i go i see their faces...
Muy bueno saludos
dragon ballz lmao
✌👍👌
They left out a LOT of details. Every 2 1/2 minutes can be made into a separate video. Juneteenth was implied, but not addressed directly
thats kinda the point, its not suppose to be a 3 month long history class.
For all intents and purposes, this is oversimplified
As we have seen with the police protests earlier this year, racist policies still exist at many layers of government policies and laws. Juneteenth was good, but President Johnson after Lincoln was like the south won. Some people only feel good by having some group of people “beneath “ them. For some it’s a certain color, immigrants, Ex cons, religions, whatever. We are human. We are all family. No one deserves being murdered by police on the ground while in handcuffs. Things are getting better, but my god, when will we all be equal USA?
yeah, Lincoln dying was one of the worst things to happen after the war, its very sad and I feel like the America that could of existed had he survived would be better then the present America.
Sounds like a rich white guy talking. There is racism on both sides.
Damn that was boring
