Great video - full of everything that is left out of history books and all we are taught. Other truths: Jefferson was also largely responsible for the establishment of the Smithsonian Institute, something he believed would promote national unity. And when someone proposed the idea of a military academy exclusively for southerners that would echo West Point, Jefferson disagreed. He knew from his own experiences at West Point that such a school brought together young men from all regions of the country - again, promoting unity.

You left out that he owned hundreds of human slaves? That seems like an important piece of his history?

This is an interesting video; yet I would want to know more about his decisions, actions and attitude during the War. The problem with the CW was its’ initial principal for the southern union; a Confederacy versus a Republic. The Southern states were never really unified; nor would they ever could be. Whereas the North could master all their resources against them.

It really bothers me when people say traitors when talking about the south. Slavery was America at that time period. Not just the south, if you don't understand the real issues of that time, that were not only slavery, please do not ignorantly comment. Read history from the journals of those that lived it not from books written to influence you towards a certain path. I have done this and am amazed at how we have been taught one thing only to find out that is not how it is no matter the side .

It WAS about slavery, because the Confederates made it clear that was what they were dedicated to preserving. Don’t pretend to be a reader of history if you haven’t bothered with the Confederate Constitution or the various States’ declarations of secession. They told us what they were about, loud and clear. Attempting to break up the United States of America is treason...which makes them traitors, whether you accept that fact or not.

@ At least you're honest about being a racist. I respect that more than the people who deny it. But then you mention communism during the Civil War...WTF???

@ Look at you, Mr. Smartypants who needs to correct his spelling, LOL. I have a pretty substantial collection of books assembled over a lifetime, and not only have I read them I _understood_ what I was reading. A rational person cannot have read something like the Cornerstone Speech, wherein the VP of the CSA explained that the cause was about preserving "our peculiar institution African slavery" for all time. HE said that, and nothing you can say will ever change the fact. You have to call the historic Confederates liars to assert otherwise.

@ I'm trying to talk about historical facts, and you're offering insults. All you've got is race talk and God help anybody who disagrees...got it.

I never understand this argument from Confederate Apologists. Slave-holding states of the South seceded from the Union to protect the most valuable assets (slaves) from a perceived threat from the North. There is no or but. All primary evidences suggest that it as slavery that split the country into two.

What a great leader. Kentucky birth place and first home of the one and only confederate president. Jefferson Davis was elected by the people for the people. He didn't elect his self. Also Robert e Lee was a great leader.lee was asked first to lead the union troops but he declined and led the confederate troops of his home land . Lincoln then asked Grant to lead union troops.
