I think you mis an important point about Savannah and secession. Stephens noted how the South was being dutied unfairly which sapped much of the revenue and economic strength by D.C. The part in his speech of "building bridges in Connecticut " is recalled. Also, Savannah was not built by slave labor. It was not a Maroon community. Both white snd blacks who owned slaves, free labor (freedmen included) and day labor Irish. I stopped half way through because the presentation seemed "predictable." And the guy who said the South was "white pride." Tipped the cart. Overall a Myopic prezi.
This is an excellent historical account that serves well to present the backdrop of my new historical novel, The Last Laird of Sapelo--telling the Spalding legacy on Sapelo Island as war becomes inevitable in 1861. I highly recommend folks to watch this video as a prelude to reading the novel. I am thankful to share this video with my followers and readers.
@@tmbrownauthor I'm going to get it. I first heard of the Spalding family in Eugenia Price books & heard the name since in connection with GA history so I will find your book interesting! Thx for replying.
Good video. However, language in Narrative matters; Savannah was constructed using slave labor; not "built by slaves" many talents contributed to its layout , surveying, material purchace etc.
The relationships between owners and slaves has never been told truthfully in films or documentries. It's more complicated when dealing with daily interpersonal long term relationships. Keep in mind that slavery and slaves have been worldwide and of different ethnicities and though strange and bad in our modern eyes it was accepted as normal in past societies since ancient times. That's not an excuse just a fact. And the brutality that did exist in the larger plantations with absentee landlords especially in the industrial huge rice, cane,and cotton plantations was different from thst in small farms and plantations. There are instances where slaves were freed, given land, or even taught trades and to read and allowed to keep part of their earnings. Again it's strange to us but factual.
1. I think the modern readers forgets to read Harriet Beecher Stowe's master novel (Uncle Tom's Cabin) with this, what you mentioned, Mrs Harriet answered from the XIXth Century: For me the most surprised thing was the author showed some positive characters from the Southern Society. I think she knew Henry Clay from Kentucky (BTW Lincoln’s political examplar) who was slave holder with about 52 slaves, but he fought in the border states for a step by step abolution! It may be the son of Eliza’s earlier master (Kentuckians) frees his slaves according to Hanry Clay’s idea in the end of the book. I think Harriet did not think her book would bring a War with 600-700 000 dead people (as Lincoln said her). I think the author thought a step by step abolution as solution, however (the worst USA law) the Stephen Douglas Kansas Nebraska law and the bleeding Kansas set put the country on a war footing. The positive humanist characters in the Southern Sociaty whom the author wrote in the novel were example, that to be humanist is not solution in the slavery. As Eliza’s master he and his family could be humanist slave holders but some money problem compeled them to sell their slaves into a not humanist circumtances and Tom’s fate will be this in Lousiana. The slavery indepedently somebody is humanist or not humanist it can lead to inhumanity! 2. The 2 naval superpowers United Kingdom in 1836 and France in 1848 abolished the slavery system, Mexico abolished slavery system in 1829, so it was a future for a without slavery system World. The Amend or Change of the American Constitution needed the agrement of the 75% of the states (+66.67% of the Congress). The USA consisted of 33 States and 15 were slavery system states and 25 states should have been for a total all country abolution. So only the States' Rights were the only possibility for an abolution in a state. North Eastern states were abolished their slavery system by the States' Right. For example Delaware had 1.6% slaves and the Delaware State Assembly could have decided to abolish the slavery system in the State's own territory by about 1870. (Delaware and Missouri abolished the slavery system through the States' Right in their territories BEFORE THE 13th Amendment of the USA Constitution. West Virginia was accepted to join the USA in 1863 the West Virgina Constitution had to contained the step by step abolution!) 3. The Centre Republican program wanted only the future Western states (as Colorado, Montana, Ideho, Nevada) should be free of slavery system. Abraham Lincoln thought the 75% free states would be about 1920 for a Amendment of the Constitution! New free states without slavery system and old slavery system states would get rid of the slavery system by the States' Right local state abolution (Delaware 1.6% slaves, Missouri 9.7% slaves, Maryland 12.7% slaves and Kentucky 19.5% slaves in 1860!).
@avenaoat I grew up in the south and my family had both SJWs and slave owners and Black,White,and Jewish members. No one not from the south can speak authoritatively on that subject with all it's nuances and interpersonal relationships and history. Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist and her novel was an anti-slavery polemic that rightly exploded the myth of the happy slaves.Eg,Free Will Baptists were abolitionists. Some wealthy Blacks owned slaves. Interracial families were not uncommon and White fathers often sent their biracial children north to escape apartheid conditions. And Democrats were slave owners but New England ship owners were part of it too. And the Klan was a Democrat institution still active today thst harrassed both Blacks,Jews,and Catholics. No Republican ever was Klan or pro-slavery nor did they own slaves. And slavery waa not common in Europe after the end of feudalism until they acquired colonies and copied the Arab and Spanish who had a history of using slave labor and was common at least since the ancient middle eastern city states and in Asia often taking slaves in war. And slavery still exists today. Fingerpointing is ridiculous by Democrats given their odious history. And," No" the parties never " flipped" except in 2024 when the Republican party just embraced JFK's ideas under a broad tent while Democrats have regressed to disgusting antisemetic money grubbing grifters.
@@janetprice85 I am interested in the Civil War and the antebellum USA history. My very special favorite historical area the prounionsts in the South from Kentucky to Florida. (For example I found a video about the executed prounionists in North Georgia on the YT.) I try to understand that conflict deeply. I am foreigner and I met with the Civil War history in the novel of Jules Verne Nord Contra Sud in my childhood. The plot is in Florida during the Civil War. Later I read Carl Sandburg Lincoln biography. Good book to know better how a Southern born (Lincoln was born in Kentucky, moreover his wife was from Kentucky as well.) to be the best politician of the XIXth Century not in the USA in the World! Today I read Du Bois biography about John Brown I have read the Uncle Tom's Cabin recently because I am interested in the sociaty of the antebellum. The novel shows a lot of positive humanist Southerner slaveholders and the book important massage for me what I answered you earlier. Harriet Beecher Stowe's message was (according to me) the slavery system was wrong against many slave holders were humanist masters. About the prounionism in the Confederacy was very dangerouse thing a Northern born brick layer was executed in Montgomery Alabama to hold a Northern connected printed material (newspaper? I forgot) in his house or flat. In North to be cooperhead was not same dangerouse. East Tennessee was so prounionist that the Confederate ocupation did not become mass executions only saboters were executed. Southern (prounionist) volunteer soldiers when they surrendered themselves they got capital punishments. Picket (yes Gettysburg Picket) executed a lot of North Carolinian prounionist volounter soldiers near to New Bern and South Louisianan (german origin) prounionists volunteer soldiers were executed too.
Naw my dude , I'm a third generation Savannahian. The accent is there the native Savannahians got pushed out to the outskirts, even the gullah geechee..most ppl that live in the 22 squares are from up north now . The degatory term we call them is carpetbaggers...
@@PreacherLevi I am referring to the video. I am a product of my great-grandparents moving from Savannah to the outskirts. We just gotta call out the transplants pretending to be Southerners and telling distorted history.
@@coleycole5344 the only way to preserve it , is for locals to start buy property in the historic district. Keep it localized even our mayor is from NY. He has already changed names of one of the squares. And kick SCAD out to 😂
“Old South Savannah” is now basically the old families of Effingham (Guyton, Clyo, Ebenezer, etc)… Some are still shadows in Chatham County, but are fading away. 1989 was the last of the era of old south in Savannah… the best St. Pattys day parade!
Your work here is a great part of my tour story of the Savannah Historical District. Thank you for all your hard work and telling this story for all.
A First Rate presentation. Simply marvelous. Superior visuals and TIMED to the narritive exactly.
Surprised, not many you tube viewers. Very good history of what the city experienced during the war.
Very informative & historic, Thank you!!
Very interesting and good was this about the history of Savannah during the Civil War.
Your book is probably 20% of my Bonaventure tour. Thanks so much!
Very well done!
