We are going here for Feb. for our 6th grade field trip. We leave really early and then we spend the night there on a coach bus. Can't wait! I dont want to get up early though but we have to because Gettysburgh is like 5 hours from our school. Im gonna stay up all night with my Cousin Shelby and Bff Megan. Its gonna great for Shelby Hailey and Megan!
This is a very good documentary and in my opinion deserves to be broadcast nationally with some minor improvements. The narration is very detail-oriented, yet understandable, coming from a knowledgeable person making references to historical facts to put things in perspective. I was particularly pleased with the references to the movie "Gettysburg". I also find the history-telling quite unbiased. Congragulations, a very good job.
"(Jefferson's) ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. ... Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition."
Obviously some of you need to look deeper into the history of the war. Alexander Stephens, the recently elected vice president of the Confederacy delivered a speech in March of 1861 that explained the differences between the constitution of the newly formed confederacy and that of the US Constitution. While he made mention of economic reasons for the war, he stated that slavery was the "cornerstone" of the new government.
September 22, 1862 was the first exec order so 1863 is not correct and neither is the romantic notion than states rights had nothing to do with slavery.
@lakelandchief NO it didn't...this is coming from a liberal college history professor. Slaves completed the White House Dome during the war. Lincoln had slaves himself after giving the Emancipation Proclamation speech which was nothing more than a political coup to keep the French and English from entering the war on the Confederate side. The slaves were not set free until an amendment was added to the constitution years after the war. There were just as many families with slaves inthe North
@kore5747 No offense but the kookiest professor I ever had was a "liberal college history professor". Swore up and down the Beatles and drugs were a grand Russian conspiracy. Anyway, I really don't understand how one can say the war was not about slavery. Its the dealbreaker of peaceful resolution. I don't understand the reasoning or logic other than to attempt to cleanse the souths motives. Even if everything you typed is true it does not nullify that slavery led to war.

Actually it was about States Rights. The South believed that the North looked down on them because the North had more economic growth and that the North had more factory's. The reason it wasn't over Fort Sumter is because not one person died at Fort Sumter.
The way I understand things is that neither side thought the other would fight and as diplomacy failed silence set in. The two sides stopped communicating. That "caused" the war. But the war was about states rights and most important of those rights was slavery. To say it wasn't about slavery is like saying a divorce isn't about a cheating spouse but
"Irreconcilable Differences". Cheating was the big one.

To quote from the speech:

Slavery did not come into play as a political motive until 1863. This was well into the war. It DID NOT start over slavery.
