YES... Dr. Blight is Right.... The South was not fighting 'For Slavery'... They were fighting for their 'Way of Life" and their 'Sovereign Rights' to have 'Independence' from a 'Central Government' because every Plantation Owner was the 'Lord of His Land' and decided his own Laws, versus an elected body that would decide what you could do and can't do... Can you imagine thousands of independent 'City-States' with every Land Owner being a Mayor of his State... No Supreme Court, No Washington DC, No Federal Reserve, No Congress, No Constitution... No Democracy..!! This was not a War over Slavery... This is a War about 'Independence versus Union'... An elected 'King' versus an inherited 'King"... This was the Old European Model vs the New American Ideal...!!

Dr. Blight was "Mr. Blight" when he was my Civil War High School teacher in 1977-78 at Flint Northern High School. He was, of course, the MOST popular teacher at school, and it was his last year teaching High School, as he went on the earn his PhD and move-on to his Collegiate Career and Author of Books.... A young "Mr. Blight" had a beard and taught like 'John Keating' of Dead Poets Society fame... He would turn off the lights and gave amazing war 'reenactments' and attributed his passion to his belief that he actually lived and experienced the Civil War in a previous life... Something that probably is not known, as he has learned to 'Tone-Down' his truth and 'Stay Between the Lines"... Anyway, he was, like many students would agree, my #1 High School Teacher... And his annual 'Gettysburg Field Trip' was a MUST... for it still is etched in my mind..... It is an amazing memory..!!

This is such a great video thank you! I have been a fan of Jules Cheret since I first saw his color lithographs.

Blight somehow overlooks the tragedy of Woodrow Wilson, whose hatred for Imperialism was coupled with a disdain for American blacks. Hence black soldiers role in this war for democracy was reduced to something only marginally better than that of the slaves who served their masters in the Confederate army. Perhaps in memory of the huge numbers of freed slaves Mr. Lincoln incorporated into the Union Army. and who were a necessary eventually for the Union victory.

From the beginning, It's very clear that she's a misandrist. I couldn't watch this past her first few minutes. No wonder it has very low likes.

Our history is our humanity. Great work

Very cool. Thanks for sharing that with us. I love art

When was the Indian continent annexed by Asia? Are they going to annex Europe next? I seem to recall two continents: Asia and India. Why is India being represented as Asia?

A good productio EXCEPT . . . a propper full length still shot of each poster necessary other wise the good work is for nothing. Commit to a proper presentation and do the art justice. T

What song is this?

Thank you for posting this.

Such a great event! David Chack starts us off, and my turn comes at 29:20. Our conversation and the Q&A with the audience begins at 55:30

The ancient soldier on the Charleston Confederate memorial David Blight showed is Greek. That round shied was a Greek, being specifically the "hoplon" which gave us the word "hoplite" commonly used for ancient Greek spear-armed soldiers.

Gilliam was a GENIUS.

I’m up to the 11th lecture, the secession of the Deep South. The most illuminating thing is how the history of the previous 20 years set the table for the war. I had already learned about most of the elements and had learned vaguely that they were “among the causes”, but exactly how they all related to the mood and the politics was murky to me. Like a good rug, professor Blight really ties the history together.

This was a very informative video.

The conservative Christian right-wing will put pants on that statue.

So beautiful ❤❤❤

Ew

Very authentic VU sound, I'd love to see you guys live. Where are you based out of?

Confederate iconography are evil reminders of their desire to preserve and expand African American slavery.

SUPER ASTHONISHED LAUTREC S POSTERS; A GREAT INNOVATION.

Southern symbols and the lost Cause. I can understand the effects the literature could have on peoples. I would question how far down would that affect go in society. The well educated elite yes. Teachers academics yes. Historians and their students yes. The general public no. The vast majority of people reading about the Civil War are interested in the military aspects and that’s what they read about. The whys and wherefores of the results not so much. I would also say for the common man what you’re actually fighting for is not a conscious thing it’s the immediate thing at hand. Survival, self-respect, others perception or whatever makes you feel good about what you’re doing. Fighting to keep their slaves. Big conversation i’m not about to get into. But let’s turn the coin over. What was the north fighting for? Considering slavery was still on the table until January 1863 I would say they were fighting to maintain the union. Not so much a slave liberation Army.

You are confusing imagination with memory, which is a classic tendency in the era of electrical mass communication since both interior senses are constructed out of phantasmé. But the "memory booms" of the age of electrical communication since the Civil War are primarily imagination presented as memory, and nearly all of them are tainted by the "uniformity principle fallacy" that the present is somehow the key to the past. The problem with this is that under its influence nothing in the past makes sense, and more significantly nothing in the present actually does either. While it may have an explanation, the explanation can't make sense.

That Ft. Sumter statue is audaciously perverse-pfft. _"DEFENDING"_ smh

Animal Farm, too, because of his pig resemblance.

I like quilts alot

Loved this! I could feel Stephanie and Darrick's sense of wonder! And I enjoyed pausing and staring at a green egg for a few minutes and recognizing that I got excited too!

Great video!! I am so glad that the wonderful background story to this piece is captured in this video!!

beautiful art and design and i love the story of the boxcars. i envy my father for growing up in those times just after the war when it seems like so much of the world got along and had a new found respect for each other and my own beautiful country was full of growth and advancement, and patriotism and respect for each other.

Bob is the BEST

a Yankee that hates the South and loves to hear himself talk

Who shot this? This is awesome!

I'm not mentioned in this presentation, but my artwork and animation are prominently featured in Evil White Foods, Frontera, Destinies Manifest and L' Hestinance. I've collaborated with John Leanos in the making of multiple animated shorts since 2008 and I've also collaborated with Sean Nash on multiple art & animated projects, who is mentioned in the presentation. Neither Sean or myself were informed of this RUclips presentation.

30:48 If Amenemhet IV was Moses, who had just killed an Egyptian overseer, one can understand the omertà very well.

27:33 It may be noted: In the Habsburgs, siblings did not marry. Uncle and niece, with papal dispensation, yes, siblings no.

merci

As a white schoolkid in segregated Florida, I never noticed the false, traitorous monuments. We kids had no idea that history could be based on facts. Never knew about the hate, the lies.

You ever gigging in the UK?

What do you think about the Blizzard in Buffalo? 50 Peoples died and the B.... do looting stores. Please watch the Videos here. I want to know what you think? I mean, not even chinese, vietnamese, turkish, indian peoples would be so scruple and do that. I wonder what you think about that? You know the world is watching this here online? Day by day? Do you don't care? Don't worry?

WOW! Truth! Great listening! So much to unpack here! Very controversional in New Mexico. Being Mestiza, pueblo and hispanic cultures still a battle! This is a story many of us , but have no voice of our experience. It's shadowed by Pueblos and Hispanics. For many of us, we are Genizaros. Enslaved captured indios. Thank you for sharing this!

Shelly and eleanor explain the quilts so well

I like quilts a great deal 💖

Can't wait to see this exhibit!

Give it back

How about this principle for statues and naming buildings: don't use people. Don't glorify individuals. It only creates a cult of personality on the one side, and a target for that person's failings the other. Put up monuments to events and milestones, not the people who made them happen. Save that for the museums and for history.

Intellectual manure... Putting daisies on a dog pile thinking this will gloss the truth, but then the stink concocts a different image that drives away the curious seeking truth. Yankee revisionist propaganda at its worst!
