A lot of people mention that the civil war was about states rights. Couldn’t be further from the truth. This war was indeed about slavery. As you can see, Oklahoma wasn’t part of it because it was Indian Territory. However, they were divided as well. In fact, the last confederate general to surrender was a Native American named Stand Watie. Also, a lot of the battles were named differently. For example, the North named their battles based off of the closest river, hence the Battle of Bull Run (a river), and the South named them after the nearest settlement, hence why instead of calling it the Battle of Bull Run, they called it the Battle of Manassas
There is one character that is missing in Oversimplified's video and shame he didn't mention it Cassius Marcellus Clay, a hardcore abolitionist, currently in Russia during Civil War era as an ambassador, he single-handedly told Russia to not side with the confederates and convinced France and UK to not fight the north or Russia will go to war against the two
While the people who started the CSA may have only cared about slavery. The people who actually fought for it where defending their homes from invasion.
I’d like to point out the biggest lie here. Those slaves were not stolen, they were kidnapped by other African tribes, and sold as slaves. The last slave owner in fact was a black man. During the civil war many black slave owners fought to defend slavery, and there were very few free blacks that fought against slavery. I would know because I had Family who faught, and died with general Robert E. Lee, and Ulysses S. Grant. There were even black slaves fighting for slavery on their own free will. And most of the slave population was Irish, Chinese, and other folks of the sort Africans were the bare minimum percentage of slaves, once again I would know because I had Irish ancestors who were slaves. Also the reason Grant was so effective was because he was a confederate traitor. Not supporting slavery, but I am stating the fact however is that is a traitor. He basically used inside information to get the upper hand.
