Thanks for covering Lincoln's lesser known negative traits. He was quite 'melancholic', a term used back then to describe what we would call depression now. When Lincoln and Mary Todd's engagement was "apparently" called off, several close associates of Lincoln feared his suicide. The loss of his children left mental scars along with the huge emotional burden of not only limiting the amount of American deaths but having the fate of every slave in America in his hands. It's remarkable that Lincoln was able to make it through all of that. I remember reading a book where a character gave a fake quote "I do not know if great times make great men but they can most certainly break them."
He was also a big jokester and also just kinda silly, and that probably helped a great deal in the last incredibly streessful years of his life. One of my favorite stories is about an officer running into Lincoln in the War Department and then begged him a thousand pardons. Abe told him one was enough and wished that his generals would change like that. But one of my favorite tender stories about him during the war was when he was visiting an army camp where he came across three kittens who he asked where their mother was and learned she had died. He then told the kittens he was happy that they weren't able to comprehend how terrible the Civil War was. It's then said he ordered that they were fed and taken care of and then he sat and pet them and listened to them purring 😭
How is being depressed a negative trait? You try being the leader during the most stressful time and I nations history and see if you don’t get depression
@@collincomer7038 Seeing as how he was depressed before the outbreak of the Civil War and before he even ascended to the presidency, I wouldn't blame the times on his depression. I'm not going to even address depression being a negative trait. It clearly is but that doesn't mean your value as a person is lessened because of it.
Grace Bedell wrote to Lincoln when she was 11. The whole letter is very adorable, but she 100% told Lincoln to grow a beard to improve his appearance. "I have yet got four brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President."
Fun fact, Grant wasn’t as much of an alcoholic as history makes him out to be. He struggled with it in his early years in the army when he was stationed on the northwest coast, but after that he was rarely drunk. His biggest addiction was actually cigars, which he smoked 3-5 a day, and that is what eventually killed him.
Basically. He was depressed and away from his family for a while which lead to him getting HELLA drunk for a WHILE, but through the rest of his life he rarely drank (though the extremely rare times he did drink, he went super overboard and would have 1-3 day binges until he got himself under control), but most of the times we hear of him drunk are lies from officers who didn’t like him, like his CO in St. Louis who was terrible at his job and Grant called him on it creating an enemy for life. But the Grant we always hear about constantly drinking is mostly just attacks on his character from military (on his side) and political rivals.

It was always about slaves. What a lot of people miss is what each side thought the outcome should be. Initially, a lot of the North were Free Soilers- they didn’t want slavery to expand west of Texas, and wanted to keep that land for themselves with no slavery allowed. The South wanted slavery to expand westward, and even into Mexico at one point. That was the situation in 1861. By 1865, the rhetoric had changed a lot. The South was no longer fighting for the expansion of slavery, but the bare preservation of it, and the north wasn’t fighting to contain slavery, but to eradicate it.
@@George-c1uStates rights to do what? I have my greatx4 Grandads “sales bill” All the civil war was, was a conflict to keep men women and children in chains
Do you also find it alarming that the Union itself officially declared that the War of Northern Aggression wasn't about slavery? Or do you just ignore all the historical evidence from the time of the war? Official Union declaration: "this war is not waged... for any... purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States [i.e. slavery], but... to preserve the Union [i.e. maintain control over the southern states against their will, without their consent, and to deny them the right to independence and self-government]"
supasaiyajin jay That’s how you reward one of the 3 good generals that you had. The others were general Sherman (Grant’s good friend), and general Meade (Who defeated General Lee at Gettysburg).
@Julie Miller The internet is full of misinformation though , make sure it’s not your only source of info Historical nonfiction can be incredible and more like history with narratives
@@_fire_fox_1152 i just have like a doubt about why should we study specific history at all? Like it doesnt help us today in any form.. morals and stuff that we get from history is good and all and needed but why study emperors and colonisers's dob and their cause of death and what not
I greatly appreciate how you took the time to talk about the realities for the slaves in the middle of this. Also explain why many Northerners were against slavery, it not always being morally or ethically motivated.
Northerners were fine to build their textile industries and their urban cities on the proceeds of slave labour. Funny how all those rich fellas get to keep all their slave wrought wealth. Classic Americana
Cracks me up how schools teach North good South bad hahaha. Hilarious. Many northerners could have cared less and certainly were not willing to die in the battlefield to free slaves. Many in the South didn't not even own a slave and didn't belief in it. They did not want the union to separate because the country needed the economy from the south. The south simply did not want to be told what they would and wouldn't do and felt they were being invaded.
There were many reports that Grant actually suffered from many back problems after the war and underwent many surgeries. The reason for his back issues was having to carry the whole union for the whole war.
General Thomas Jackson: "'Stonewall' Jackson" General Ulysses S. Grant: "As if he was determined to drive his head through a brick wall, and was about to do it"
And then the Radical Republicans got control of Reconstruction and burned the South to the ground. Good job making things worse for your own people, Johnny.

@@SouthernGentleman The union won the war due to the failute of Pickett's Charge. Pair that with Sherman's march and you've got the reason the south lost.
Toori Baba No-instead of keeping black people as slaves he orders muslims to be kept out of the country, encourages systematic racism and makes life for immigrants who are fleeing from wars as hard as possible-persecuting them for trying to save their families. He encourages homophobic attacks, tacitly supports alt-right groups and explicitly supports two separate dictatorships with appealing human rights records. Slavery was an abomination and Trump is leagues worse because he has become so normalised that we are no longer outraged at his policies-at least during the slave trade people knew what was happening was horrific and evil.
This guy is so entertaining even tho it's all history. Little story: my friends and I once had a sleep over and we watched oversimplified for like 2 hours and his parents were so confused.
Scotty Branum No, they were an illegitimate rebellion. And not even for a noble purpose, they ditched their own nation because they wanted to uphold slavery.
Y'know as far as 'moments in history most likely to be caused by time travelers' goes; the union being handed Lee's battle plans with a free cigar on the side has GOT to be top five.
Peggy Shippen's wildly coincidence-laden role in Benedict Arnold's treachery isn't that high, but top ten for sure. (Not, I guess, the most successful time travel expedition - America did still win the war - but it was a good effort.)
OverSimplified made me love history, The way he explains it was fun. The cartoons really helped me understand it. Wish the Educational system in school is just like this. Some teacher need to re-think about teaching their students.

@@ishaannag4545 Geba is being kinda dense because no shit he was brutal it’s war, but Lincoln was a shitty person He didn’t fight slavery because of morality and actually said he believed white and black people should be segregated, he only fought slavery because it was convenient to win the war.
@Geba i mean he did still save millions of black ppl and their desecendents but slavery would probably still have died off unless WAIT FACTORY SLAVES LMAO

First of all, this is a joke and I don't need your hate. Second, I know what this video is about. I'm making a joke about ww2 using something that OverSimplified said in the video, "I didn't lose! I merely failed to win!".
Fun Fact about the first battle of Bull Run: There was quite a lot of confusion between the two sides during the battle. Many Confederate officers wore their old U.S. Army uniforms, many SOLDIERS wore blue uniforms or old US Army uniforms like the Union soldiers, and the US Stars and Stripes and the Confederate Stars and Bars looked almost identical, creating confusion when looking for enemy flags.
Ngl, one of my favorite flag designs is Lee's Confederate battle flag, definitely not the Stars and Bars design. No idea what it's called, most just call it "The Confederate Flag" nowadays, since there's a popular misconception that it was the official CSA flag. That likely stems from it being the flag painted on the roof of a certain orange Dodge Charger nicknamed The General Lee that was pretty much a main character in the popular 80s TV show called The Dukes of Hazard. Anyways, from a purely design standpoint, I think it's the best looking of any flag design, with my 2nd constantly flipping between The Union Jack and The Bandera de Mexico, depending on the mood in.

I would argue that Winfield Scott gave a brilliant plan but it was Lincoln's impatience that led him to direct confrontation with the Confederate army. In the end, Scott's plan proved effective in defeating the South.

To this day, I find it alarming people really have the audacity to say the Civil War wasn’t about slavery.
Well it wasn’t at the start as you see in the video
It was always about slaves. What a lot of people miss is what each side thought the outcome should be. Initially, a lot of the North were Free Soilers- they didn’t want slavery to expand west of Texas, and wanted to keep that land for themselves with no slavery allowed. The South wanted slavery to expand westward, and even into Mexico at one point. That was the situation in 1861.
By 1865, the rhetoric had changed a lot. The South was no longer fighting for the expansion of slavery, but the bare preservation of it, and the north wasn’t fighting to contain slavery, but to eradicate it.
@@George-c1uStates rights to do what? I have my greatx4 Grandads
“sales bill” All the civil war was, was a conflict to keep men women and children in chains
Do you also find it alarming that the Union itself officially declared that the War of Northern Aggression wasn't about slavery? Or do you just ignore all the historical evidence from the time of the war?
Official Union declaration: "this war is not waged... for any... purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States [i.e. slavery], but... to preserve the Union [i.e. maintain control over the southern states against their will, without their consent, and to deny them the right to independence and self-government]"

I greatly appreciate how you took the time to talk about the realities for the slaves in the middle of this. Also explain why many Northerners were against slavery, it not always being morally or ethically motivated.
He doesn't pull any punches and I love it
Here in West Virginia, I was actually taught how the North wasn't morally motivated.
Northerners were fine to build their textile industries and their urban cities on the proceeds of slave labour. Funny how all those rich fellas get to keep all their slave wrought wealth. Classic Americana
Cracks me up how schools teach North good South bad hahaha. Hilarious. Many northerners could have cared less and certainly were not willing to die in the battlefield to free slaves. Many in the South didn't not even own a slave and didn't belief in it. They did not want the union to separate because the country needed the economy from the south. The south simply did not want to be told what they would and wouldn't do and felt they were being invaded.
"didn't want to be told what they would and wouldn't do" in regards to slavery you mean.

@Toori Baba so is trump but I don't remember asking
Toori Baba No-instead of keeping black people as slaves he orders muslims to be kept out of the country, encourages systematic racism and makes life for immigrants who are fleeing from wars as hard as possible-persecuting them for trying to save their families. He encourages homophobic attacks, tacitly supports alt-right groups and explicitly supports two separate dictatorships with appealing human rights records. Slavery was an abomination and Trump is leagues worse because he has become so normalised that we are no longer outraged at his policies-at least during the slave trade people knew what was happening was horrific and evil.

Fun Fact about the first battle of Bull Run: There was quite a lot of confusion between the two sides during the battle. Many Confederate officers wore their old U.S. Army uniforms, many SOLDIERS wore blue uniforms or old US Army uniforms like the Union soldiers, and the US Stars and Stripes and the Confederate Stars and Bars looked almost identical, creating confusion when looking for enemy flags.
Thanks that was cool
That’s as confusing as seeing a fire not cause a barrel of oil to burn
interesting thanks
Ngl, one of my favorite flag designs is Lee's Confederate battle flag, definitely not the Stars and Bars design. No idea what it's called, most just call it "The Confederate Flag" nowadays, since there's a popular misconception that it was the official CSA flag. That likely stems from it being the flag painted on the roof of a certain orange Dodge Charger nicknamed The General Lee that was pretty much a main character in the popular 80s TV show called The Dukes of Hazard.
Anyways, from a purely design standpoint, I think it's the best looking of any flag design, with my 2nd constantly flipping between The Union Jack and The Bandera de Mexico, depending on the mood in.
What's confusing to me is how the union had 1200 MIA and the confederates gained 12 dudes. 19:06
