Hey, been awhile since I uploaded a video on my variety account.

This movie is a school video project, the class was split into groups and had to choose a cause of the Civil War as our subject. My group and I decided to do Bleeding Kansas, which is also a very popular choice. It was the one with the most fighting, we wanted a lot of action.

  • @HavierBlue yes it was

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

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • 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!!

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
