  • Did the New South actually get an independent economy though? Or were they still stuck in the reputation of being a dependent economy?

  • this explained nothing

    

  • North Korea + Disney = this cartoon.

  • WTF. Fuck the North, and them carpetbagging fucks.

  • THIS BE SHIT. its a lot more complex than this!

  • but the south made a shitload of money off cotton

  • yeah in the earlier and mid 1800s before industry and the civil war......

  • More false history - this is the crap they taught me in school- and will try to teach my kids. The problem is that teachers don't know history and take the easy way out using government dumbed down. simplified, and false sources.

  • You have a point, but the South would have not prospered if it continued being agricultural that is just a natural thing. Some third world countries are more agricultural and are not as prosperous. Slavery in the South would have died out and this is what it not considered.

  • Panic of 1857 and the tariffs are always excluded.

    The South had a completely different philosophy than the North - less concerned with money, industry, and empire; more concerned with family and people. The South didn't want to assume the materialistic and money centered world view of the North - that divide is still seen today. Also, what about the South's constitutional right to secede or Lincoln's idea for slave "deportation" to Liberia or Panama?

  • What? The south was an aristocracy, which was basically a two class system of the rich (3% of the population, mainly planters) and the poor (everyone else, including slaves)

    The south was the fifth richest area in the world before the start of the civil war. They were very concerned about money and class. That is the culture of honor and ones status in the community, which was often contested with dueling.

  • To add: The south was a caste system that considered private property rights to be more important than human rights... You had white supremacy as the ruling idea of the time. The blacks were slaves, the poor whites had no power, and you had the plantation owners who controlled all of the land and hence all of the power.

    The aristocratic south imposed an informal caste system, although the black codes had some formal element in it.

  • That was cute, but not worth my time to watch.

  • The north invaded a seperate country that had left legally, using the same method they used to join the union less than 100 years earlier. The north destroyed thousands of farms and cities throughout the south, killed 300,000 southorn patriots fighting for what they believed was right, and the north ultimately destroyed the south in many ways. They force the yankee view of the "civil war" when it was really a struggle for independence. even today, only 22% of sc favor secession.

  • this video is a yankee lie... the north invaded a seperate country that had legally seceded. using the same method they used to join the union 100 years earlier. the north invaded, destroyed thousands of farms and cities, killed 300,000 southron men fighting for what they believed was right, betrayed future southerners by forcing the public education system to teach the yankee view of history, and ultimately destroyed the south and the idea of freedom and liberty.

  • That was about the biggest lie that I have ever seen.

    The Yankees didn't bring industrial wealth to the south, they brought very low paying jobs in cotton mills and gave the southerners no option but to work like dogs in them.

    I know what I am talking about because I live near Danville Va.

  • abstractannie is dumb...she thinks she knows what she's talking about. liberalshiberal!

  • What is she wrong about?

  • The reason the South Seceded to begin with was because the North had all the Money, Power and was taking all their resources using them. They all had slaves, both sides, so don't let anyone fool you. The south came up with the idea of freeing their slaves first,then Lincoln came up with the emancipation Proclamation after that. I'm a liberal, The Government wants you to!!!!! So they can keep you in the dark and rob you blind.
