Causes of the Civil War - Bleeding Kansas

[HavierBlue]

Was this for Mr. Melo cause he showed this during class

[rockstar4407]

@HavierBlue yes it was

The people of Kansas voted AGAINST slavery 10,300 to 135 , over 98% of the people did not want slavery  The slave power boys in the South talked about "states rights" but actually hated states rights to prevent slavery. The South sent thousands of thugs to KS to try to scare the crap out of folks. It worked - for a while. But in the end, slave power scum lost ---- but barely. It took the South states seceding before KS had enough votes to get in Union.

Ah guys. It's been so long since I was watching you guys make this in class. And here we are, facing our APUSH exam together and I pretty much forgot what Bleeding Kansas was. So I come to review and this is one of the top videos for Bleeding Kansas on youtube. :) Good job, and good luck! Still hilarious!!

You did this for a project!?........nice...

Regarding slavery, Jefferson said, "We have the wolf by the ears, and we can neither hold him nor safely let him go."

Fact: extremely few whites, North or South, believed blacks could ever be equal to whites. Lincoln himself admitted his disdain of "the nigger" (as he referred to them in the Douglas-Lincoln Debates) ever gaining equal status to whites.

Many sought not "freedom" but FREE STATE status for Kansas; that is, pure white. Slave or free, whites in the US saw blacks as a threat.

[Graymalkin2001]

It is extremely pathetic that so many have been indoctrinated in the "politically correct" history. Remember, kiddies, history is written by the victors.

The South fought for independence from a government gone ASTRAY from the dreams of the Founding Fathers. Excessive taxation, tarrifs, lack of representation - essentially the same reasons the colonies seceded from Britain.

The US government profited from Southern slavery AND the Northern slave trade.

Lincoln destroyed the Constitution.

[sonickiller23]

@Graymalkin2001 remember kiddies, the civil war was not just fought over slavery. just felt like helping you out

[IowaSea]

@sonickiller23 yes dumb ass - the South seceded and started their violence because of slavery. The Southern states even SAID quite proudly it was about slavery. The Southern leaders BRAGGED it was about slavery

That is, until they lost. Then like a bullly who is really a pussy, they made up excuses after the war. But at the time, the South was very proud their were using secession and war to SPREAD slavery.

[IowaSea]

@Graymalkin2001 dumb ass-- no fuck head, the South has spent 150 years trying to cover up their shit. Kansas was a great example. 98% of the people in Kansas voted to keep slavery OUT - but the South hired thousands of thugs to invade KS and intimidate the people. Very much like terrorist.

The South paid virtually NO taxes to the fed government retard. The tariff was on IMPORTS -- and the South was VERY over represented because they counted slaves, but refused to let slaves vote.

hoop listen man its jay nice

dude this video is bad ass

damn the effects r crazy

u a crazy asian man

[jessssss624]

LOL. That's hilarious. I just finished studying the Civil War and that only makes this vid more fun. Great editing! XD

[bto4]

how do u make it look like the guns are firing like that?

[MarkDouglasC]

shane good points. The south was a lot more like Nazi Germany under Hitler - totalitarian, cruel, bioted, killers. There was no freedom in the south - white men could not even talk about abolition. If you were found with written material against slavery, it was a capital offense. Slave owners regularly raped their slaves, then sold their own children from those rapes. Even Nazis didn't do that.

[shanebarrow1]

Yes indeed my friend. IIN fact Harriet Beecher Stowes "Uncle TOms Cabin" banned throughtout the entire SOuth. Slavery was a sacrosanct institution throughout the entire South. The Civil war came about mainly due to White Southernerns' gut level conviction that the abolition of slavery would result in a social earthquake. Nonslaveholder and slaveholder alike conflated black bondage with liberty itself. Any threat to slavery was viewed as a threat to white mens place on top of the social stratum

[MarkDouglasC]

shane -- well put. Slavery was a tiger by the tail - they couldn't let go, or risk a backlash that was unthinkable to them. Social and economic status was tied to slavery. The more slaves you owned, the more status and power you had.

Many say that slavery would have vanished on its own. I don't see how. No other nation was based on slavery like the south and border states. It was like a cancer that wasn't going to vanish on its own.

[selleckman2]

I disagree with your thoughts that the Civil war was a moral crusade against slavery. The North wasn't a bunch of abolitionists. Abolitionists were much more radical than given credit for. Personally if I were from the North in the 1860s, even if I was opposed to slavery, I would stay away from the abolitionists. They had good intentions, but terrible methods.

[shanebarrow1]

THe Confederates emulated THE REVOLUTION through their very own act of rebellion. THE UNION honored the REVOLUTION by fighting to preserve the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT that the founders' rebellion created. Union troops' thoughts about liberty and THE UNION in general were vastly different from COnfederate views on the same. They defined both in broader terms. They felt the destruction of the UNION would be a blow not only to America, but the very idea of self government itself.

[MarkDouglasC]

The south SAID why they started the civil war. They said in their declarations of independence -- SLAVERY. SLAVERY was why the South were pissed at the north - ironically, cause the North was doing NOTHING to prevent the south from slavery -- the north even gave the slave raping states back their run away slaves. But the south was so hateful -- they were nuts. The hate of themselves came out as hate against the north. The SOUTH started the war, NOT Lincoln and NOT the north.

[ClayKlot1]

yeah, the south was crazy.

[shanebarrow1]

Yes Indeed. People who claim the war was fought over "states' rights", which is pretty vague if you ask me, dont understand just how important SLAVERY was to slaveholder and nonslaveholder alike. If you read letters written by Union and COnfederate troops before and during the war, you realize THEY FULLY KNEW IT WAS A WAR OVER SLAVERY. THe Confederates believed that THE UNION violated the very thing it was created to do: Help white men pursue wealth and material betterment.

[benyman9]

the civil war was fought over states rights

[ClayKlot1]

I was talking about the bloody kansas event.

[benyman9]

the south was fighting the war for states rights bc thay wanted to leave the north

[ClayKlot1]

They were fighting in Kansas because the northerners want the state to be free and the southerners wants it to be a slave state.

[jakproduction898]

The fighting is an exaggeration, it symbolizes that the Bleeding Kansas incident did not solve out.
