What part of Virginia did this story originate from? My hometown in the Shenandoah valley has a hotel called the American Hotel that was built in the early 1800's that housed confederate and union soldiers during the civil war. The architecture of the hotel is still magnificent.
@@jdanielle5670 I do not say that I agree with "Not my problem", simply that it was the way MOST saw things. My comment was made in irony or sarcastically. Not so poor of intellect as to be unable to see that.
I have issue. Most Southern Americans at the time of the Civil war and before DID NOT agree with slavery. They, in a very large part, were why the Underground Railroad worked so well. White families hosted the "run aways" as they made their way north. The points made in the books are based on true facts, it cannot be denied, but they all were written by people with agenda. Please consider that there is no place, or race, that can claim none of their members do not behave in such a way as the "bad" men mentioned here. Good people do not generally interfere with brutes and rogues, they avoid them for fear of retaliation. The young man mentioned in this video is demonstration of that. Good people outnumber street gangs, but street gangs STILL run rampant as they desire even now. A man in Brooklyn addressing issues of the old south based on biased information seems a bit awkward, to me. It seems to be more useful in keeping the unrest than in settling it. It is inflammatory, to a degree. An actual study of slavery and the Civil War would shock a very great many people, color not a factor. And if my replies to the replies I get are going to be deleted, why bother asking me?
I think most whites agreed with slavery back then esp because of Jim Crow which followed. You are correct though, many wanted to help but they are in the minority
@@funutation I would point out that at the time the Jim Crowe laws were passed, the people in government were not the ones who were there during the Civil War. The People were not consulted on such matters. Because government was the true issue, government set about creating a rift between blacks and white, blaming all the problems of the one on the other. Consider that it was plantation owners who brought people against their will to work jobs that had been filled by the white, and other, residents before that. Yet, after the war, somehow it was considered the fault of the slaves! But, again, that was only by the few, and the few were all that were reported on. Many whites of the time supported new black communities, and you can find evidence of it, but you have to look for it because such did not fit the narrative THEY wished to be told. History of that period almost has to be examined on a day-to-day basis to see the underlying truths. But, if you look, you will see the exact same things I did, and you can draw your own conclusions from them. No part of the time is what you were taught to think it was.
@@funutation Somehow my reply to you was deleted. I shall attempt to highlight the main points. The Government that passed the Jim Crowe laws was NOT the government that fought the Civil War. The works quoted in this video were typical of those released at the time, and were intended to promote unrest. There were a very many white southerners, indeed, most of them by varied accounts, who supported new black communities, and the proof of that is not hard to find, if you DIG, but such was not put into "print" as it did not support the sanctioned narrative. The "bad" southerner" was needed as moral prop. You really have to take apart the history of that era on a day-to-day basis to know what happened then. It is NOT what is pushed on the public.
Very informative knowledge.
Not really.
Awsomely informative historical i formation again...
Historical fiction
@@RovingTroll Yes, and no. The truth is not always the WHOLE truth. Biased interpretations work both ways.
Very informative ❤ thank you
It is, indeed, bold example of biases working both ways. But is informative only in that sense, I fear.

Have you looked into The Muslim slave dealing in Lybia today?
Please, understand. Slavery "over there", ANY over there, is not OUR problem. We're funny like that, being humans. You know how it is.
@@jamespaden8140 There is no separation anywhere in this Universe. You’re part of it all, including the cause.

My reply to it was suddenly showing and you deleted your own comment, and left. Are you some kind of government troll?
