The only thing even slightly bad that he did was broaden the use of executive power, while keeping it well within the law laid down by the founding fathers. He was quite literally a good man when you're talking about people from that era. He was a product of his time for sure, he had what we would call today a racist attitude yes. But in his own words he also had "no use for crude racism", in other words considering it was 1909 when his term *ended* he was a pretty progressive guy. He didn't hate people for being a different color, he didn't want them killed or kicked out of America. He just didn't see them as the same social class as him. Which was very much the case until the late 1960s even.

Possibly. I don't know. Obviously ending slavery was/is good. But hmm, the entire planet nearly (almost 90 percent) was practicing slavery 50 or so years before the Civil War. The entire planet was on it's way to being non-slavery. America had to go to one of the most bloody of wars to get there while every other country came by it peacefully. I wonder if actions of Clay helped in that war becoming reality? See, not all things are painted with a pretty brush. And I have no idea. But it is a thought. One reason, and a big reason, the South wanted slave states was to have votes in Congress because the North kept doing for the North with taxes and tariffs etc. If things had of been handled differently by both sides...

@John2r1 10 месяцев назад
Not everywhere but at least in his home town and in Washington DC. Besides some dumb asses who don't actually know their own history would try to tear down the statues because he inherited slaves from his father. Similar to how idiots who know nothing about Robert E. Lee's personal life beyond the fact that he sided with his state when it left the Union and fought in it's defense when it was invaded by the Union over the attack on fort sumpter South Carolina which was the actual reason given as provocation for the war that would be come known as the civil war only because the Confederacy lost. They don't tell people that Robert E. Lee never bought or sold a single slave. And that he actually freed all of the slaves he inherited long before the southern states seceded and the war had began. But they don't teach that in history class. Only that he choose the wrong side of history. Hell there are people who actually wanted to tear down the statue of Lincoln in recent years because he was related to people who owned slaves. Seriously people who don't have a clue about history are the ones demanding that we destroy all reminiscence of sections of history they don't like. Because they don't understand that History isn't written to make people feel good about their past. History is written so that we learn from our collective past and do not repeat the mistakes of the past. So yes while I agree with you that there should be a statue of Cassius Clay . There are a lot of ignorant people who would try to destroy it the minute they hear that he inherited slaves from his father. Regardless of what he did after inheriting them.
@notyou2353
@notyou2353 10 месяцев назад
They failed you because Cassius Clay is an example of an individual taking action outside the confines of the state. Much of the civil war and anti-slavery history that is taught focuses on government action despite the fact that governments have always been the enforcers of oppression rather than emancipation. Governments don't start emancipating people until individuals have already been doing that and a government has to catch up or lose legitimacy in the eyes of most.
@John2r1
@John2r1 10 месяцев назад
@notyou2353 Yep and the primary reason for Southern Secession was actually economical not related to slavery. Or well looses related to slavery as far as they where the means of production of raw materials. You see in the lead up to the Secession of the South. The Union government placed Tariffs on Imports of manufactured goods from Europe. The European countries reacted by placing Tariffs on Raw resources from the US. The South was dependent on imports of goods and export of raw materials for their entire economy. So it was a war over money that starred with a tax rebellion turned into were leaving and forming our own country . Turned into South Carolina deciding to do something about the Union garrison at Fort Sumpter which was used as provocation for the war by the Union. Fast forward to 1863 and the war is not going as planned and is becoming unpopular. The government needs to switch gears to get more recruits . And thus the Emancipation Proclamation is floating around but Lincoln isn't quite ready to sign it. Enters Cassius Clay who publicly saids he won't take another commission in the military ie won't come out of military retirement until Lincoln signs it. So he does. In short the war was never truly about Slavery. The Emancipation of the enslaved population of the nation didn't happen for all enslaved people within the US until the 13th Amendment post war. The war was primarily about money and politics.

@John2r1
@John2r1 9 месяцев назад
@mobiusflammel9372 First thing the US government had no interest in freeing the Slaves. If you actually dig around in historical documents a little. You will find the 1857 Dred Scott decision. Which put him back in slavery with his master taking him home with him. Also, you find the interesting fact that South Carolina, the first state to leave, had been threatening to do so since 1833 entirely because of Terriffs. Essentially, not wanting to pay their taxes on goods and services imported from Europe. Around 1860, when the Morrill Tariff was first introduced, the Europeans decided to place tariffs on Imports of Raw materials from American. Guess what the Souths entire economy was based on practically. And guess what the US government did to help Southerners who were struggling to keep food on their tables by that point ? I'm not talking the Top 1.6 to 2% of the Southern population. I'm talking the other free people in the South. Both white and black. If your answer is absolutely nothing then you would be right. So the South was already a powder keg of secessionist ideals long before the 2% of the population that were actually abolitionists started being loud enough to get people to consider their opinions. Seriously the Abolitionists movement was a minority of the population and had no real political power. They were a fringe movement that was slowly gaining an audience. The Emancipation Proclamation was written as a recruitment tool. It makes so many exceptions that it isn't funny. I would highly suggest you read it in its entirety. Oh and in December 1860 the Corwin Amendment was introduced to Congress in the House of Representative of course. It was passed by February 1861 and was in the process of ratification by the states when the war started. It was the start of the war that stopped the ratification process. 5 States including Ohio and Illinois had already ratified the Amendment. Here is what the Corwin Amendment said. "No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State." In essence the Corwin Amendment prevented the Federal government interfering in the Institution of Slavery within the states. This passed the house without any southern support. To be exact Southerners were uninterested in Corwin’s amendment because they felt it did not offer them anything they did not already have. Republicans repeatedly upheld a state’s right to decide the slavery issue where it already existed. Most common Southerners hoped that with the Rich Slave Owners greed that they would expand slavery to such an extent that the Institution would collapse in on itself. The Republicans of the time also repeatedly upheld a state’s right to decide the slavery issue where it already existed. Their vision for the end of slavery was to contain the expansion of slavery, until slavery collapsed in on itself from. Republicans conversely flatly rejected Crittenden’s Compromise because it allowed for the Westward expansion of slavery, which would have allowed the resources of slavery to expand and stay economically viable. Fact is most Southerners didn't own slaves . Only 1.6% of Southerners owned Slaves. To say the Southern soldiers who did the fighting and dying on the battlefield for the industry of Slavery which 1.6% of the population actually benefited from would be the same as saying that the US Military today fights wars for people like Bill Gates , Jeff Bazos , Mark Zuckerberg, etc to keep their money and Industries. That's how asinine the ideal that Southern soldiers fought to defend the wealth of the top 1.6% of the population. These were poor farm kids and seasoned former union soldiers fighting a war to Secede from the Union and make their own country. You should also look up and read the Confederate Constitution. Because it spends more time on Tariffs than it does talking about Slavery. The South didn't see Slavery as the defining issue by and large. The whole war being over Slavery is a rewrite of what actually led to the war in order to justify the bloodiest single war in US history. Since then, it's been oversimplified and has become political. That's the reality the war was mainly over economics which includes Tariffs as a primary driving force behind the Souths decision to leave in the first place. Oh and the Union was using sea forts including Fort Sumter to enforce the Morrill Tariff on incoming shipments. Which directly led to South Carolina's Military besieging the fort and demanding it's surrender. The Forts Commander told them to kindly screw off then found out that the Army of South Carolina had more guns than he did a d decided to surrender after an exchange of fire. The only person killed was Daniel Hough who was killed by accident when the cannon he was manning went off prematurely during a salute to the flag after the Battle of Fort Sumter. The first casualty of the war that wasn't an accident was actually a US officer killed by a civilian for going into the man's house and taking down the man's flag which happened to be the actual Confederate National Flag. The civilian was shot after killing the officer by the troops under said officers command. Yeah the first Military death was a dick officer infringing on a man's first and fourth amendment rights. They probably didn't tell you that in history class. The man's house was /is in Virginia directly across the river from the capitol. Elmer E. Ellsworth a US officer and law clerk who was the first conspicuous casualty, and the first Union officer to die in the war. He was killed while removing a Confederate flag from the roof of the Marshall House inn in Alexandria, Virginia by the owner who was then killed. So the war wasn't over Slavery. The US government actually rented Slaves at the time. The Emancipation Proclamation was a recruitment tool that did nothing. History was rewritten to justify the bloodiest single war in US history. And today has become an oversimplified version that omits everything leading up to it or goes contrary to the narrative of the story. And has become political.

Great story and oh so true. I’m from Kentucky and grew up not far from White Hall. When I was young it was abandoned and falling into disrepair but years later recognized and restored. In Kentucky, Cassius’s cousin Henry Clay probably has better name recognition (successful attorney and ran for President against Polk). Still Cassius Clay was a larger than life character despite his cousin’s popularity. He was a man before his time and not dissimilar to an iron rod in character. Still there are probably more horse statues in the state than of Cassius Clay.

There was another Cassius Marsellus Clay, also born & raised in Kentucky, also a skilled "duelist" (fists, not pistols) that didn't lose much either. Born in the 1940s, he didn't fight for abolition. but he was one of the most important fighters for Civil Rights during the conflict years.

When I was like 5 I remember seeing his cannon in the local public library. Homie did a post-Mortem tour. Dude was so badass that they had to be assigned to his posts. I don’t remember a lot about the exhibit but I do remember the size of the cannon. Mr. Clay deserves an honorary doctorate from every major university in Kentucky.

SEE?? THAT'S why I wanted to be a history teacher! I'd have had you in as a guest speaker and given the revisionists a heart attack! And the kids would have been riveted to their seats waiting to hear what he did next. Seriously, these are the kinds of lessons that young people and adults need to know about our country. You're all about it Brother! Great lesson...

cassius clay does not just deserve a movie about his life, a single movie would never be enough... there should SERIOUSLY be a whole franchise, or at the very least a mini series. he almost needs an entire channel devoted to exploring his innumerous eccentric exploits. i can't believe there is so much interesting stuff about him i've NEVER heard before... and i've been a history junkie since we got cable when i was like 10 and found all about nazis and all kinds of other shit, back when the history channel not only did it's job, they were awesome at it..

Look up Mark Felton Productions if you love old school history channel docs back when they were good and not full of nonsense about aliens or people haggling in a pawn shop. Mark Felton used to help make some of those of history channel docs, he has a couple channels and they are by far the greatest WW2 history channels on RU-vid!

It's Sad that an Educator, such as yourself, had to find out about The Real Cassius Clay on RU-vid, rather than somewhere along the line during your Education to qualify to Teach Young Skulls Full Of Mush. Not Your Fault, at all, but the fault of those who, rather than expose you to as much Historical Fact as they could, taught you what they figured you "Needed To Know"....Gotta Keep The Narrative Litany as Identical as Possible, Don'tchaknow You Had Best Watch Yourself going forward, lest you be found guilty of Wrong Think, by Straying Away from The Approved Path, and harm your chances of Advancement in your Chosen Profession.

@dwightcurrie8316 turns out that 2 years of specialized schooling isn't near enough to give a person infinite knowledge. Becoming an educator is more about understanding pedagogy and turning yourself into a lifelong learner. Any teacher who thinks they know it all is delirious. It turns out that the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. Thank you for your concern. John 13:34-35
