So many wanted to keep fighting and start a guerrilla war in the Appalachian mountains, but Lee said no we are rejoining the Union. It’s crazy to learn that Lee never wanted Virginia to split from the Union, but he was loyal to his home. Also it’s neat that the last General, was Cherokee Chief Stand Watie
Odd joke. Because Lee was highly educated and top of his class. 70% of the south weren’t owners, the union had 8 slave states in 1864, New Jersey was the last to state to end slavery in 1866. Plus Lee said we pray for the end of slavery in a letter in 1856.
The world over, they sing "The Yanks are coming..." Yankee Doodle... with macaroni... and cheese... pardon YOU! That's BAKED macaroni and cheese - because there is no other. Thank you for a great series!
Just wasn't the first modern war though was it? The tactics were almost primitive in comparison with Europeans. The Crimean war was the first modern war.
The whole "The south had the best generals" nonsense came after the war when the south was trying to save face. The same batch of lies that brought us such nonsense as "they were fighting for states right's"
Not trying to nitpick - but as a New Englander living in Virginia “Yankee” is definitely used a a pejorative term. - and even in the north it’s not wholly welcome - most of my family are of French Canadian and Irish descent (fought for the union) try telling them their “Yankees” 😂
As a region, it still represents a different sociopolitical entity. Just because it was not able to separate the first time, doesn't mean it never will if the moment calls for it. Texas has the economy to be its own nation in five minutes and Florida in ten.
To not mention California's economy is a discredit to your statements worth. There is a reason why compartmentalized locations aren't always better though.
It was the state of mind such as yours in those days that caused this civil war of gigantic magnitude which was totally unnecessary and it was sheer insanity
"General Sherman is on his way" is not something you want to hear if you're on the opposing side lol.

Never knew that at some point in history, Napoleon fought against William Wallace 🤯
You must admit that is an excellent name for a general.
Great Video
Lee: “Fine, fine. no more slaves. But we still don’t have to read books!”
Grant: “Deal.”
Guess that is why the race riots of the 1960's primarily were in Northern cities... interesting...
😂 🍻
😂😂😂

Love your channel. Can you make more Roman videos?
Gyattt new video 🎉🎉
Keep the genA talk to a minimum please that was so cringe!
Their generals fought flashy battles rather than thinking strategically, when they had neither the manpower or war material to do so.
There was no such country as America 253 years ago. Good times
indeed
Welp, too bad we're here now😂

Because they were getting their asses kicked by Billy Yank. Pretty simple.
It would be great to see a Downfall movie of the Confederacy.
Sahara is kinda close. So is the tv show North and South.

Damn right! I’m a Mets fan, but all Americans, including myself, are Yankees. 😊
The Union had railways
Southern generals, for the most part, were not the best, in fact, many were, for lack of a better word, incompetent.
Just my opinion.

The South will rise again!!!
Still the saddest thing to ever happen to america
So far
Nah, letting them back into the Union was.
January 6th is the saddest thing to ever happen to America

Wow,I'm early 😂
I'm definitely not a yankee
Actually the Yankees lost more than 450 thousand
Because they realized fighting to keep slavery was stupid…. Oh wait nope their ancestors are still butthurt 😂

Where is America? Is it the old England land?
So at what point did Jesus find America?
I can only go as far as to say it was a Tuesday.
All I know is, he was on a dinosaur the whole time
I think it's on the bottom of his portrait on the $100,000.00 dollar bill.

You'd have to ask a Mormon.

Lol no

bye
That's because Texas has been mooching off the donor states for decades. It would be just as crippled as its Governor if it tried to stand on its own.
Do Americans like the handsome guy in my profile?
dat my boi Bin Laden.
I like you better clean shaven.
