HardyRoundtee, I am glad that you monitor the comments on this great vdeo. Otherwise it surely devolve into just another shouting match full of insults and vulgarities over slavery and our Southern states
To the presenter of ths vid--=Maybe you should just take off the comments since so many will be disrespectfull,but CPA is a good idea too.....ERASE PLEASE
@VictorianRecords Gen US Grant's inlaws were rich slave traders.There was more than just slavery issues .Everbody has to bring it up though,which is basicaly pointless now.It has been said countless times ,I think everyone gets the message,it has been a done ordeal since 1865..Mentioning slavery in every civil war era vid is just hammering out the same predictable redundancy..Slavery has harmed the US no doubt,and it was a big trade in the New England "Colonies'' before it went South............
@Shmiefman yes it was duh and the south was not fighting for slaves we were fighting for our freedom and most of the confederates didnt have slaves and general grant had his slaves for 10 more years after the civil war
and the emacipation proclimation only freed the slaves in the south they didnt free them from the north there were more slaves in the north than in the south
Wasn't in fact the first operational submarine the federal sub The Alligator. It is not famous as the Hunley because it never sank any Confederate ships. The fact is though it was operated for a year and the local commands were afraid that it might fall into enemy hands. Since the Confederates had few worthwhile targets in the area but the Union many there was some logic to this. In Since the Alligator was a much safer ship and had two limpet mines it could have been a real threat.
@sk2bahr There were submarines in the revolution war as well, but they were unable to damage british ships due to the copper plating at used at the time. The Hunley was the first to sink another ship. Watched a show in it on the history channel that believes it was a lucky shot to the hatch that chipped the seal and mortally wounded the ship and prevented making her return to shore.
I'm a Yankee but must say that if not for the slavery issue, the south had the moral high ground in the civil war. The industrial north imposed high tarrifs on the south and restricted their trade. Most southerners didn't own slaves and didn't benefit from slavery. They didn't raise cotton but nevertheless had to pay a heavey duty on the manufactured goods they bought..
@josephonwhidbey Abe Lincoln father was a small time slave owner, his wife family (who abe prefered over his own) were big time slavers. Lincoln was a whig (pre republican party which combined whigs, free soilers into the GOP), he wanted an end to slavery like most free soilers but because big business of slavery was hurting the small time farmers (like those he grew up with in Kentucky). Lincoln even said if Kentucky went confederate he might as well consent to the seperation of the nation.
The last burial of the Civil War from the battlefield to the cemetery. That is extremely impressive. I would have loved to have attended, however things in my life prevented me.
The leader of numa was clive cussler a awsome writer who I have read many books of he and his crew found the hunley in The ship grave yard I think in challosten sorry i can't spell but he also found other ships as well if you like adventure and ships and action and even historical information you should read his books.o and there is some special parts as well = ) check them out
A grat video. Imagine the bravery of those men. Correct me if im wrong but when the union ship Canadaigua came to the aid of the housatonic they unknowingly rammed and sank the Hunley. But untill U-21 in world war one, the hunley would remain the first and only sub to sink a ship.
I am a related to the sub's namesake. You forgot to mention that the sub had completed attacks before this one on other ships, none of which caused the ships to sink (only causing heavy damage) but sunk the Hunley a few time. After each sinking the sub was recovered and they tried again. But great vid of its final voyage.
I agree with theoneandonly. I read about the Hunley and others subs and ships like the merrimack(ironclad) and U20 captained by Walter Schwieger( sub that sunk the Lusitania)
I think he refers to the fact that the federal system works only to further the desires of Washington. The South can't even get the feds to control its borders with Mexico and Cuba! Do you think the C.S.A. would have been so worried about political correctness that it would have allowed itself to be destroyed (financially and demographically) by legal and illegal immigration? I don't.
The Union army had a sub too which in fact was more than twice as large as the Hunley. It was called the Alligator. Sadly it sank in a storm being towed by another ship and it's never been found again.
The Alligator was built 2 years before the Hunley, in 1862. It sank in 1863 in the storm. Hunley sank in 1864.
The first submarine with historical documents was Drebbel's submarine in 1620. Drebbel was dutch.
The Alligator was crap. It's sinking saved more lives. The Hunley had inovations that would be basis for subs in the future. It had an actual Dive Plane for one thing.
Message of France; Thank you very much for this nice movie, in France the American confederacy is a legend, we like the resistance story...I know very well the history of Hunley, great and magic and tragic adventure, but the war is not a play of pleasure.
Plameto flag, tombstone...big emotion for me behind my pc here to Paris...
Again thank, your great south is not death, the grey soldiers were the best military I think, when you can see their condition...
Much of Civil War history is untrue. Like most history it is written by the victor. There was no shining Northern force fighting a moral battle for the sake of ending slavery. There is no oppressive Southern force fighting to preserve it either. What this nice video talking about here is after the South declared its independence, the Union ruthlessly invaded, leaving Southerners no choice but to defend themselves. Check your numbers 40%... your a little off.
Unfortunately they lost that struggle and have suffered for nearly a century and a half because of it. The South has become an economic colony of the North, used and exploited like colonies throughout the world. Politically, the North still controls the government and continues to impose its radical social agenda on the rest of the country at the expense of individual liberty. Meanwhile the Supreme Court, the first federal department to infringe upon the rights
of sovereign states, continues to suppress and efforts to reclaim liberty for the individual from the federal government. Today, as a result of the war in which the South lost its right to be a free country, there is a continuing effort to obliterate all symbols dear to Southerners. This is a form of cultural ethnic cleansing. There is the oddity in which Southern states have fewer rights under the Constitution than other states.
Great video. We just got back from seeing the HUnley in Charleston, SC and it brought tears to my eyes. The H. L. Hunley is such a sad story..the youngest crew member was only 18 years old, the oldest was 46. They were brave men who died fighting for their country. But the reason they went on the mission was to try to free up the blockade that was shutting the south off on some of the supplies that it needed from Europe to survive. R.I.P brave and noble soldiers and they were just that SOLDIERS!
what does it matter if they were for the CSA? They built (the captain of the submarine Lt. Dickens helped build the HUnley) it was the 1st successful battle submarine in history. historians look at other countries weapons and technology in admeration. Besides there was about 4 others reasons that the war was fought slavery was just one of them and not the biggest reason, States Rights, States vs federal rights, Growth of the Abolition Movement, and the election of President Abe Lincoln.
correct but...The slave thing would have had to go away sooner of later i am black..I for give the white people for what they done..they made life to there best interest now its time for the whole human specie an not just race...R.I.P Brave AMERICAN Soldiers...Thank God for you
