Hi from Canberra Australia. Your lecture was both fascinating and heartbreaking. We have our own version of mistreatment of people, a chapter of our history we call the “stolen generation”. Our indigenous population were effectively enslaved and had their social structure, culture and language torn from them and destroyed. The stolen generation were removed from their communities as children en masse and raised to be various forms of labour for who effectively became their white masters. Today our indigenous populations suffer similar incarceration and socioeconomic circumstances as many African American communities. I encourage you to listen to the song “From little things big things grow” which tells the story of one aboriginal farm labourer who stood up against our version of the slavery structure and won the support of our Prime Minister. Vincent Lingiari was his name and his story is amazing. Thank you again
I've recently became fascinated with Australian history and its parallel appearance to American history. Such as The "cowboy" vs. The "bushranger" is just one example. There are so many similarities its incredibly fascinating but each has there own uniqueness as well.
Awesome dissertation! I love reading civil war era books and the lead in to this time period is critical to the whole and it’s a part of the history that many people under appreciate. Many thanks.
Ok? You can appreciate history while not necessarily agreeing with all of the facts. I would even say that if you disagree or are concerned by certain aspects, you have a duty to fully understand what it is that concerns you. Ignoring the past and shunning discussion doesn’t make it different and it actually takes away from the enormous sacrifice that those that caused it to change made.
"The more things 'change', the more they stay the same." Those of great wealth are still using their power and influence in government to protect them and their interests and property at the cost of those they oppress and exploit.
Deep South, beautiful mansions, Spanish moss, women running around in beautiful dresses sipping mint julep….growing cotton, tobacco, gentile, hot,climate, southern drawl…horses, carriages
This lecture should be retitled to "A Timeline of Slavery in the American South" It was a little more diverse than you let on... Ever been to Winston County Alabama?
Yes the Antabellum South was a mosaic sociaty and cotton workpower demand began to change the border states to change to be Northern type. The slave export to the Deep South had big effect that North won the Civil War because North could hold the Border States in the USA and a new not slave work founded new state West Virginia from Virginia. The most prounionost areas in the Confederacy were below 20-15% slave population it was almost the exception New Bern region in North Carolina. Abraham Lincoln got about 10% vote in Missouri (Lincoln won 2 counties here), in Delaware Lincoln got 23%, Lincoln almost won Hancock country in Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1860. The cotton (+tobbacco and sugar cane) economy decided on the way of life in the South. However a good example for this mosaic life modell that not the North was the first place for a abolutionist newspaper but the later prounionist East Tennessee. The local climate the longer winter was an obstacle for the cotton production in East Tennessee. Winston (+some neighbore counties) had low% slave population in North Albama. Here the mountainouse area was the main obstacle for the cotton economy. The Jones county in Mississippi is an eningma for me why was the slave population so low? Arkansas main prounionist region the Ozark plato region was lack of cotton production so the slave population was low same to Missouri, where the Ozark region was the 3d prounionist region with low slave population.
@@avenaoat all very good points, by Jones County did you happen to mean MS? This group of unionists were of mixed race and just lived in the pine barrens. My ancestors were from NW AL and joined the 1st AL cavalry that formed up from the Free State of Winston at the Natural Bridge there. As a Jefferson, my ancestor Rufus Jefferson saw the symbology of choosing a spot named for the place in VA that Thomas Jefferson considered one of the most beautiful.
@@richardtaylor582 Classic Hollywood history changing was Free Jones State, because this county was prounionist from the first time like Winston in Alabama and the movie did not mentioned this at all. I watched a youtube video about the North Georgian prounionists, who was executed by the local State militia. North Georgia was not cotton production area too. I am very interested in the Southern Unionism in the Civil War, I think the KKK era and the Lost Cause school programs in the ex Confederate states about 1890 were the main causes to forget this historical past except for East Tennessee! For me a humorouse event shows this. Not to known but a few counties were prounionists in Western Tenneessee (only 1 county Macon was prounionist in Mid Tenneessee). A young man thought his ancestor fought with general Forrest and his surprise his ancestor fought in a same number unionist cavalry regiment. That was a natural thing slaves went to fight in the unionist troops, but the prounionist whites were forgotten by the history except for East Tenneessee and West Virginia where was so big the prounionism, that nobody could deny. It may be the Free Jones State was not exact hystorical, but it could turn the hystorical views a little.
I'd love to know more about this era. Whether it be about the life people lived or the plantation homes themselves. Can you (or anybody else who comes across this comment) recommend a book I could read?
Thanks for the message. A book you might be interested in although it is a little old now is by Catherine Clinton called “the Plantation Mistress”. It gives a good overview on some of the issues involved in crating and running this society and place of women in it.
@@vernoncreviston7330 Thank you! I don’t mind old books (I love The Art of War lol) so I’ll definitely look into it. Antebellum architecture is so beautiful! I hope to see one in person one day.
Not all rich planters had huge mansions... some guys were low key, thus having small farmhouses etc. They were not into the pomp and wannabe-royalty vibe.
Love the lecture, however, a gentle suggestion I have is to monitor how often you say “kind of” and other filler phrases as it makes a person sound less sure of themselves. It also tells the listener that your argument isn’t logical and therefore not based on facts but rather feelings. It was a bit difficult to know if what you were actually saying was true versus what was only “kind of” true. I hope that’s helpful as you do have a strong lecture here.
Those live oaks at Oak Alley were not "cleared" to make the alley of oaks. Those were planted in the early 1700's by a French settler who planned to build his house where the house sits today. He sold the land before building the house started.
Do you realize that Linen and Cotton are not the same thing right? You also realize that the north was ran by men as well, right? Are you actually a history professor?
By the way, right next door to Oak Alley is Laura Plantation. Next door means less than 1/2 mile. Laura Plantation was owned by a black woman who owned slaves. It wasn't just white folks who owned plantations (farms). The more research one does about the antebellum period, the more grey the history becomes.
Says he "won't give a politically correct view of the South" just to do the most politically correct thing possible and make the whole thing about slavery lmao
@@mrstopanimationguy And yet, the narrative that American slavery was one of the worst things to happen in the world has been the politically correct take since the 60s. He isn't saying anything new or insightful. And frankly, I don't think the average slave owner was that bad
you degrade yourself when you assign motives to historical figures based on stereotypes. you did learn a lot of facts but keep your opinions out of it and allow people to decice for themselves.
If you don’t talk about slavery’s role in the lead up to the civil war, you are grossly misrepresenting the period and issue. The material cause for war was anxiety in the planter class that they would lose the phenomenally lucrative institution of slavery. If you do not emphasize this, you are performing historical malpractice.
You are a hypocrite! You are stating your opinion not facts . Every successful business buys low sells high . Your criticism of the prosperous south stems from jealousy . You should check your facts linen is made from flax not cotton .
Another individual attempting to act as if he is being unique in his presentation. If you do not know American history by this point, you are forever lost and will buy into anything that anyone tells you. It's simply the same garbage, in reverse.
He's using the word "patriarchy" very loosely. "Patriarchy" is the feminist idea that ALL men control society to oppress ALL women, which can't apply to Anrebellum South, which excluded poor white men and black men from positions of power. It also can't apply because, as he admits, lots of the Plantation Wives owned slaves, which means they do have societal power. You simply can't say, "Antebellum was a Patriarchy" and also say, "Plantation Wives owned slaves, and black men and poor white men had no societal power".

Excellent lecture. Thank you for sharing
This is a great lecture thanks for posting
Amazing thank you I’m just learning this for my own interest and your lecture was so informative wow just wow
same here! although i’m taking the course too lol.

Thank you for telling us the truth. It’s really ugly but at least I know now.
Isn’t that what goes on in the states now…don’t get sick, your on your own..
Wonderful video thank you
Great lecture . It gave me a picture of what life was like for my ancestors

Your kids are slaves, but they are your kids
No boundaries no morality wathsovever
Not all rich planters had huge mansions... some guys were low key, thus having small farmhouses etc. They were not into the pomp and wannabe-royalty vibe.
Most of them were the outliers are outliers for a reason those guys to were evil fucks
But how did these big plantation owners come to be..how did they buy land, who started it…….who gave the land…where did they come from..

Your research should include watching the entire lecture.
this plantation was not owned by a black woman. thats just false.
Interesting…
I hate the word antebellum we all live in a antebellum time we never know when a wars gona start and neither did they back in the 1850s
Says he "won't give a politically correct view of the South" just to do the most politically correct thing possible and make the whole thing about slavery lmao

Okay klan
you degrade yourself when you assign motives to historical figures based on stereotypes. you did learn a lot of facts but keep your opinions out of it and allow people to decice for themselves.
Wishing this wasn’t all about slavery, so tired of of victim mindset.
If you don’t talk about slavery’s role in the lead up to the civil war, you are grossly misrepresenting the period and issue.
The material cause for war was anxiety in the planter class that they would lose the phenomenally lucrative institution of slavery.
If you do not emphasize this, you are performing historical malpractice.
Not bad, I give you a B.
You are a hypocrite! You are stating your opinion not facts . Every successful business buys low sells high . Your criticism of the prosperous south stems from jealousy . You should check your facts linen is made from flax not cotton .
The speaker continually used the phrase "kind of". It was very distracting, and made it difficult to focus on the material.
Ok Karen
