It's kind of ironic to think that women have finally been allowed into combat roles in a time when major wars are increasingly rare. I'm sure, maybe unfortunately, that there will be many more female war heroes in time, but it is perhaps a silver-lining in how long it took to accept females into the military that wars with staggeringly high casualty rates are, hopefully, a thing of the past, and we won't lose generations of young women like we did men.
+Fangtorn Nice insult bro! But it was heavily implied that women dying would be a worse than men and it was good that they were protected back home while calling young men cowards and handing out white feathers yea that was a real "silver lining"
+Sayeth Di Puppeth well if you look at the speed at which progress has advanced, It is actually going really fast. thousands of years of one thing and suddenly 200 years of massive progress.
I suppose, but when our lifespan is so short that things stay so much the same thoughout a single person's lifetime, it's hard to get excited about that progress.
Moreover, women's rights movement rose from the fact that industrialization created more easy jobs on mass, who could employ women. The whole causality is flipped. Rights came after the jobs and opportunities.
Mia mulder Yeah, you might be right that the ideas came first, on some level, for some few individuals who could emancipate themselves in the 1700s for example. But, the reason they could emancipate, usually, was that they had some sort of luck of coming from a good family. Never it happened for a lady who had always been in the lowest class...above slavery that is. Anyway, the movement could got some momentum when the jobs came, and then when society was transformed by those new kinds of industrial jobs, that having voting rights and property rights made sense. Before that, everyone was stuck at their roles in the farm where they barely made due.
I'm a big Civil War buff, I have several ancestors who fought in the war, for the South, but hey, the were Southerners, that's what they did when the Yanks showed up on their doorsteps. One of them was killed, and his father, who was the seventh son of the seventh son and said to have "the sight", actually foresaw his son's death, and showed up at the battlefield with a coffin he had made for his son. He was able to recover his son's body and took it home for burial. True story! 😊
I wonder how many in the US, understand that although females now may enter "combat" fields in the Army - they still don't have to achieve the same physical fitness standards of their male counterparts. The double standard hasn't been erased - as once announced. But hey, it's all about career advancement anyway, right?
Under the law in the United States, Men and Women are equal. However, as I am sure you are aware, putting something into law is not a guarantee that one's goals will be realized. Laws need to be Enforced, and there will always be those who break the law. On top of that, there are some things that cannot be legislated, such a other peoples thoughts, beliefs, and speech. And it is the thoughts, beliefs, and speech of those who believe that Women are not equal to Men that modern Feminism is against. And I believe that such debates (if kept civil and rational) should be a welcome voice in our society. (I wrote this as a response, but I felt it needed it's own comment =^_^=)
So far there have been 4 episodes on the civil war, and yet still no mention of how weapons improved. I know you'll cover it eventually, but it seems odd to me.
3:28 George: Y'know what it is? It's "Clara Nightingale Syndrome". He falls ill; she falls in love. Jerry: You mean Florence Nightingale. George: What'd I say? Clara? Jerry: Yeah, you must have meant Clara Barton. George: Clara Barton? What did she do? Jerry: I'm not sure, but I think she was nice. George: Susan B. Anthony I think I'd have a problem with. Jerry: Yeah, I think you would.
I have faaar too many American friends to really want to see this happen... but if you guys reactivated the draft you'd be done with senseless wars so fast it'd make the rest of the world's heads spin.
It's sad that women weren't allowed to be a nurse because of sexism, and they fought really hard to be able to be a nurse, and then men turned around and made being a nurse only a woman's job, so that the sexism remained strong. Next, voting will fall to only the women...
The military rarely reflects the views of the public. sometimes it is light years ahead, and sometimes light years behind. It should be inclusionary and reflect the public it defends. currently it doesn't even represent it's veterans, they're ignored by washington and their rights aren't supported. They have different standards and rights for non conscripts and those who served under the draft. When we need them where are recruits going to come from? Washington is an equal opportunity exploiter.
As an Army veteran with a combat job it's not so much we think women were too weak to do our jobs, it's how we as combat MOSs communicate and treat each other (read haze but not so much). Sexual harassment is such a huge deal in the military nowadays, so as much as the word "bitch" or "cunt" (words used on a daily basis in all male jobs, a shame I know) get said in front of a female soldier it could IMMEDIATELY be considered some kind of sexual harassment and be the end of an otherwise superb Soldier's career. In conclusion, as it is much a shame, females in usually all male jobs in the military will lower morale. Everyone will be too scared to joke around and just talk normally.
Ranolden I personally never liked it. But now it's everywhere. Everyone want's to be first, everyone spams popular videos, and for what? There is no point at all in being first. I know it's not like this anymore, but the comment section used to be filled with useful comments. FIRST!!11! is just one more thing to get in the way of them. There are only three things worth talking about, things that are either relevant, relatable or funny. First -as well as many other things such as ascii art-are none of those. They aren't interesting, and they don't help move points along. I can understand maybe on a silly video why you might want to say first, but especially on an educational video, I can't see a point.
Hate to tell this people, but women had it the best they would ever have it before the civil war.Men provided for them protected them cared for them, and all they had to do was get married, raise family, and enjoy life.That was true living.
I hate to tell you this... But you're fucking wrong. I am assuming the only history lessons you have had were in high school right? Women did not have the time of their life back then and their life was hard, backbreaking, and ridiculously difficult. WAY MORE than it is now. PLEASE study before making a remark like this.
Thank you for highlighting women in this way! This was very eye opening.
These time capsule videos really give some perspective on America growing stronger after the civil war, which is really kool.

So women are worth more?
Mitchell Glass How does saying it's a good thing women won't die in droves like men did mean women are worth more than men?
+Fangtorn because you're saying it's good that men died not women
Mitchell Glass You would have to be pretty intellectually challenged to think I was saying that.
+Fangtorn Nice insult bro! But it was heavily implied that women dying would be a worse than men and it was good that they were protected back home while calling young men cowards and handing out white feathers yea that was a real "silver lining"
It's frustrating how long progress takes.

also tons of jobs after tons of mens dead.

Your mom had a lasting impact, when she tripped.
Really interesting stuff, thank you! Who was the one guy who hit the 'dislike' button? Bad aim maybe?
Now I suugest you delve into the PWD (people with disabilities) rights movement. It's interesting and overlooked history.

"Can war create lasting change?"
Well, as I remember from my studies, WWI played a large part in the close of the "Age of Monarchies," so to speak.
So far there have been 4 episodes on the civil war, and yet still no mention of how weapons improved. I know you'll cover it eventually, but it seems odd to me.
What about the UNION Womens POW camp in Jeffersonville, Indiana?
3:28 George: Y'know what it is? It's "Clara Nightingale Syndrome". He falls ill; she falls in love.
Jerry: You mean Florence Nightingale.
George: What'd I say? Clara?
Jerry: Yeah, you must have meant Clara Barton.
George: Clara Barton? What did she do?
Jerry: I'm not sure, but I think she was nice.
George: Susan B. Anthony I think I'd have a problem with.

what is the name of the silent film shown in the video
nice videos

this is the first time I have heard of woman in the Civil War...cool

All combat positions are open to women, so when are we going to make all women over 18 sign up for the draft?
Albert Cashier was probs a trans man. you probably should/ve refered to him with he/him pronouns in your video
instead she literally referred to him as a "he-she" i'm pissed off
Did this for a school assignment, 🇷🇺
couple of handsome bearded you tubers

WooWWW!!!! #3rdperiodlovedthis!!!
Ok buzz off Mr.
first?
+Ranolden Yes, you are first. No, I don't care.
+Michael kaster what's so terrible about saying first? its just a bit of youtube culture.
