People always forget to mention that Grant was excellent at Math! At one point he was going to go back and teach mathematics at the military school (West Point), but the Civil War started.
Does the law matteer? SC passed a bill ceding control of Sumter to the Feds. So, what happens when a law is repealed? What happend when this law is repealed? Ans: Ctontrol of he land reverts to the sovereign, South Carolina.
Why didn't the governor of South Carolina and later, Jefferson Davis, offer to purchase those forts that were Federal property, from the Union? Or better yet, wait until a presidential administration that would have been willing to sell, was in the White House? It's strange that hardly anyone asks these questions.
I suppose that the governor of South Carolina thought that Fort Sumter was part of Charleston and therefore part of SC. However, after the shelling of Fort Sumter by SC troops it's a moot point.
@@juanitajones6900Rewatch the beginning of the video. SC Governor Pickens firmly believed that Fort Sumter was South Carolina property and not Federal property especially since SC had seceded from the Union. ** Therefore, why would he offer to buy that property from the Union when he believed that SC already owned it?
@@johnw9245 As it turned out, Pickens had offered for the State of South Carolina to purchase the fort from the U.S. government. The latter, under James Buchanan, refused the offer.
There were prounionist people and funny prounionist areas in the Confederacy, but less as Lincoln thought. 100 000 white soldiers came from Confederacy areas to the Union Army. Tenneessee gave more than 32 000 white soldiers to the Union. Andrew Jackson came from the most prounionist East Tenneessee! The two most interesing (for me) Jones county in South Missisippi (Holywood discoverd) or Winston county in North Alabama. Both areas have less interest in slavery because thay had 12,3% and 3,4% slave population. Ozark region in Arkanas had low % slave population and many pounionist people.
John Brown was an abolitionist preacher who told the truth about his plan to free the slaves through violence. Abe Lincoln was an abolitionist politician who told lies about his plan to free the slaves through violence. Once you understand that, everything else makes perfect sense. Everything.
OK. The reason I watch these is because there are no commercials ... Except this one. I shrink everything down so I don't burn up my battery. And I don't want to get up and cross the room to clear it out and listen some more until another fuhkking commercial about something I will never, ever buy ... even if I won a lottery.
His job is to be a non political monarch and Head of the Church of England and he also undertakes to preserve religious freedom, which is why he makes a promise to the presbytarian Church of Scotland not to interfere with it. The principle of freedom of religion is also part of this, but there is a difference between supporting freedom of religion and changing the job description and terms under which the monarchy was restored after the Interregnum.
Brilliant performance by a upcoming lumminary in American history ... well done and thanks to Professor Janney.
Carrie speaks so well and is so knowledgeable. Could listen to her lectures all day. Love her books as well.
Extremely engaging. And here I thought the *last* thing I needed was *another* scholar discussing Lincoln and the war.
She’s soooo knowledgeable! Her books are terrific!
Hallack did not propose the attack of Forts Henry and Donellson. It was Grant's initiative.

You forgot Granht's time in the Mexican War, where he worked for both Taylor and Scott.

@@johnw9245 Is it? I was wondering why many historians or history buffs had never asked that question.

Because from his perspective it's part of CSA. You can't offer to buy something that already belongs to you.
Why did Lincoln not negotiate with the Confederacy.
Read his “Message to Congress in special session”(July 4, 1861). Lincoln fully explains the situation at hand.
@@timothymeehan181 Thanks, I will read the document.
