Also slavery was as old as time in Africa - African tribes had been selling African slaves to the Middle East for centuries before any European stepped foot on the African continent. During the years of the Abolition African leaders sent a delegation to the British Parliament requesting they stop the Abolition of Slavery movement - as they stated it had been their culture for centuries and was their most lucrative revenue stream.
I’m a bit confused. Is this a remaster of the series? I recall this already being up on the channel. Not complaining though. I’ve seen the series many times. You fellas do excellent work and this series is proof of all talents.
The first slaves were brought to Virginia around 1609. One of the first colonial slave owners was himself black. The 3/5 number in the Constitution was a compromise made at the 1787 Constitutional Constitution. Eli Whitney had hoped that the cotton gin would reduce the need for slave labor by reducing labor needed to comb cotton. He didn’t anticipate it causing the expansion of slavery to produce more cotton.
Delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention agreed to count slaves as 3/5 of a person for representation purposes to compromise between Northern states who wanted to exclude slaves from population counts and Southern states who wanted to count them fully, essentially giving the South more political power in the government by allowing them to count slaves to increase the number of southerners in the House of Representatives. The southern states refused to ratify the Constitution and become part of the United States without this agreement.
Abraham Lincoln was an amazing man, IMO the greatest president we've had. Regardless of party, I would vote for a candidate that shared even a small amount of his poise, intelligence, and resolve. Not sure there's been a candidate for the last 50 years that cared more for the country than the politics.
It is Sad to note that Brigham Young the leader of the Latter-day Saints, favored Slavery out in the Utah Territory. I am Pleased to report that My Great, Great, Great Grandfather Parley Pratt and his brother Orson Pratt, both Apostles of the LDS Church Opposed Brigham Young and his love of Slavery. In fact the first wagon driven into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 was driven by a slave by the name of Greenleaf! "Isn't it a shame that children have to grow up into people!" John Wayne as Davy Crockett.
Parley Pratt was murdered in 1857,by the man whose wife Parley was ascending with,stealing to add to his polygamous harem back home. This event was one of several instigating the Mountain Meadows massacre in Southern Utah later on September 11 that year.😮
@@robertofunk673 Wrong! Parley was murdered by an Ex-husband, Legally divorced, from of one of his wives. Parley's Murder, far away in Arkansas, and had Nothing to do with the Mountain Meadows massacre, which was a despicable deed indeed! The leader of a vigilante group by the name of Lee, was executed by Brigham Young in response to the massacre. I descend from Parley's Fifth wife Belinda. The family, for years and years, blamed that last wife for Parley's murder.
5:02 No! The census did not and does not count people in order to affirm their human dignity. The census is taken to determine representation both representatives to the congress and electoral college votes. White women, children, and free blacks were counted 100%, but the voting power all went to white property owning men. The fact that enslaved persons were only counted 3/5 means that the white slave owners had 2/5 less voting power from their slaves. The 3/5ths clause was like a secret agent working for abolition by reducing the political power of slave owners. Abraham Lincoln could never have been elected without it. The slave states would have had more representatives and more electoral votes, and therefore, more presidents and more Supreme Court Justices. The argument that the clause was racist or meant that the constitution was saying that blacks are less human comes from the advocates of slavery, and it's wrong.
There was one loss on the confederate artillery the person that rammed the round had one take his shoulder off as he was ramming the new round .The swab was not used and had burning powder left in the bore
your information is wrong , the US was not the first to abolish slavery , GB in 1807 , France before that , the southern states did not even fully abolish after the civil war and as we all know now slavery is still taking place today , it is profit driven and nothing else
Jefferson was a slave owner...he did not believe that all people were equal...so its a bit rich he criticizing the brits...when he bought into it...pot...kettle..black
@@philippepalmer2968 Why do we always have to read you Americans only talking outright propaganda, you all get taught from birth, as if factual and real? @philippepalmer2968 The documentary doesn't make that claim, they said Britain created slavery in the colonies, that fact is true. Is that true, in your opinion, is it? Well, when you actually do ever learn anything factual or real, then maybe, you'd learn, that actually, the first African slaves in what would become the present-day United States of America arrived in Puerto Rico in the early 16th century, at the hands of the Portuguese. African slaves also arrived on August 9, 1526, in Winyah Bay (off the coast of present-day South Carolina) with a Spanish expedition. Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón brought 600 colonists to start a colony at San Miguel de Gualdape. Records say the colonists included several hundred enslaved Africans, without saying how many. After a month, Ayllón moved the colony to what is now Georgia.
the 14th admt. raised the slave to federal citizen and eventually brought the state citizen down to a federal citizen. we lost our liberty in this process. Lincoln was one of the worst things that happen to this country.
Ehm...so your argument is, well bring slavery back? Are you seriously saying, in 2024, that darker skin makes someone your property? Do you want to own other human beings? Find a therapist. You need help.
Oh no it was not just slavery but this is B S yes I am a southern and know so much about this issue,wrong like you do everything to keep us from being one.
Secession was lawful. Bottom line. For Lincoln to say it wasn’t was wrong. The south fell for the unions ploy of not yielding, and then reenforcing Sumter. Firing on Sumter was what the union wanted. A reason to invade. The south was patient with Anderson, but only to an extent. They should have blockaded the fort and choked off any incoming supplies, and let Anderson leave voluntarily. Eventually he would have had to withdraw. It was no longer a Union fort and for Anderson to refuse to leave confederate ground when asked to was wrong. He didn’t leave because he knew what they would do. The south should have waited them out, and forced them to be the aggressor. Not the other way around. For Lincoln to raise an army of 75k men over a bloodless battle to invade and force the southern states back into the Union by force was also wrong. What if right? Water under the bridge now.
SC was chomping at the bit and the lead instigator. FS was federal property and the second they fired on it, It gave the Union casus belli to invade. The South started the war, for which they are still paying to this day. If they were smart enough to hold off and negotiate with Lincoln, they would have kept slavery for another 10 to 20 years, before the industrial revolution economically ended slavery.
Virgina, Tennessee, Arkansas and North Carolina were in the Union, so Fort Sumter was important to join the other Southern states to the original 7 states.
C'mon, the southern states had already been attacking federal property all over the south. They took over lots of other forts to gather weapons for the war they knew was coming.
