The feds should have stationed about 30,000 federal troops in South Carolina in the 1820s after South Carolina threatened to secede then. There is no provision in the constitution for secession. South Carolina signed the constitution in the 1790s when it was ratified by the states.
I didn't hear anything that sounded like "What History Doesn’t Tell You About The Battles That Made The Confederates Lose The War" All I heard was a quick recap of events
Wealthy independent Union agents, like Forbes and Aspinwall, operating anonymously, changed the terms of the civil war. They averted war with Britain through their personal contacts, organized and financed regiments of southern Black soldiers, now celebrated in movies like “Glory”-staffing their officers with family members because of a prevailing opinion in the Union officers’ corps that Black soldiers would break and flee at the first sign of danger-and heavily invested in innovative small-arms technology, like Spencer and Henry rifles. Very few people, punching way, way over their weight, created conditions on the ground that changed an often hopeless-seeming situation into one where victory was possible.
IMO, The South lost because of Robert E. Lee. The South did not need a trained military man at the head. They needed to just hunker down, get ready and force the North to always be the aggressor. And continuously tell the world the war would end when the North stopped trying to murder them, and allowed them the Self Determination their Legislatures had voted for. Lee had no business waging war into the North especially at Gettysburg. It made the South an aggressor and put them on equal moral status as the North. And since North had more people and more wealth the North won.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee. Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free, So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea. While we were marching through Georgia!
The Civil-War casualty total, according to the late historian John P. Roche, was about 666,000 Union dead and about 333,000 Confederate, implying that the South took two for every one taken by the North, with a combined total of about one million. More recently cited totals put the entire total of the war to just upwards of 600,000. Has the correct total thus far been conclusively decided ?
It's hard to quantify. It depends if you count battle casualties only, or if you estimate how many men died as a result of combat or illness after the war was over. Say if you died from an infection 50 years later from an unhealed wound, or from dysentery contracted during the war years later. If you count all of those cases it could well be close to a million.

I did learn all of this in school back when schools taught things that we as Americans need to know. Unlike the school system of 2024.
One thing that is not talked about is how the Union managed to get one of General Lee's servants to spy on him!
I did not know that. Interesting

It's prounounced "Heeth".
Famous March, not infamous.

@VernonWillis-n8o Yes thank you for an overbearing federal government.
What were the lies.
It was not the war of northern aggression and Sherman’s March to the Sea is not infamous.
Educate yourself.
@@charlesbelser7249 You first Johnny Reb.
You can call it whatever you like. The fact is the north attacked the legally formed CSA. The North under Lincoln committed all manner of war crimes.
It was the war of democrat petulance. The democrats of today act just like the democrats of 1860.
Nothing really new here.

Sherman and general Patton. Those 2 were bad ass leaders . Something we don't see in today's military.
You don't know a damn thing about "today's military."
Two of Patton's great uncles fought and died for the army of northern Viginia. Tazewell Patton was killed durung Picket's charge.
@@stevemahoney6493 Good.
@@VernonWillis-n8o My gggrandfather may have killed him. He was 20th Mass, near the Angle.
Sherman Patton, and grant understood the more violent and vicious you are in the short run the sooner there is peace and nobody dies.
Logistics, plain and simple
So at the end the Anaconda plan worked.
Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.
Sherman was a real Shitman. One person history should forget.
