No they are not lol. Learn comedy.

What are you whining abt little boy​@@shshskateproductions2250

@@shshskateproductions2250🐶💔

@@shshskateproductions2250do people actually think Theo Von is funny?

@@selfishstockton6123 well he is. Sucks that you are not lol.

Dude, you couldn't be more correct.

Lmao so true

They really do both represent the side beautifully

HahahahHAHAHAHSHS!! YESS

Amazing! You nailed it.

Or the comment ..we kept a lot of the brothers out of the fight. That's where I died hahaha

kept it a bit too honkyed out.

​@@derlycalza5949 I am a foreigner and that confused me at first because I kept hearing that the Civil War was "Brother versus brother"

@@MadhavRSubby brother he was talking about slaves

What a great piece.

Lol uneducated southern pride 😂

No point in being so.

@MKULTRABOOST stfuuu, - it's super funny - "we should have won" lolll

I'm not even southern but I respect anybody who is proud of their heritage when it's uncool to do so

@@Captain_Insano_nomercy does that include the Germans who are proud of their Nazi heritage?

And Shane’s “Yeah .. obviously?”

Hard to recruit black men to fight with the south in order to keep slavery

You can't win without justice on your side

@@ANTIStraussian justice is always a facade

@@brandonmay3094 general Sherman brought justice by the torch

Shit gets touchy especially when you get someone from the south and north talking about the American Civil war lol

No matter how people feel kr think about the civil war. Reparations were paid to slave owners and not the actual people who were directly working for free and under harsh conditions. That 40 archers and a mule never came...

​@@kuvf9816thank God, if reperations was a thing every country would be bankrupt😅

​@@dominicsmallwood-zz8heonly the ones who did constant evil stuff would be though, others would mostly be chilling and to be straight most of those have paid reparations in some form It's only the incredibly evil ones who haven't even tried

The 4 MSSP Presidents pods with Louis were so damn entertaining!

I'm here for it too

I love hearing about history

He’s been talking history on his podcast for a minute check out his stuff about Pearl Harbor and the uss Indianapolis it’s interesting shit

He’s suffering from early onset Republican

America's youth need more Shanes of The House of Gillis for sure

The last 4 eps of his podcast are with louis CK where they go into the us presidents. It's brilliant

Ain’t there a tv show that people drink and tell history Drunk history I think it is.

He’s lame just like 90% of comedians. Hinchliffe , Schultz, etc

@@ryanvee570 far better than those imo. His special is hilarious. In fact, I'm seeing him in 5 hours! In Dublin

*dreams

This comment was too good for me not to like

HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! 😂

Hehehe good one

Yeah I could buy that

Is the reason white people are obsessed with the civil war is bc they have no culture? Do white people even have a culture? Honest questions.

Kinda an overrated POS.

Nerd alert. Civil War geek here. Technically, although Sherman’s March to the Sea was designed to attack the south at home, Sherman specifically limited actual hell to just destruction. If given half a chance, his troops would have gone even further, that is, rape and human atrocities. But Sherman had his officers keep a very, very strict (death penalty) rein on his troops. They were there to burn crops, destroy economic/industrial infrastructure (roads, railroads, buildings, etc.), and attack armed belligerents. But not go after civilians. Historians have called it “remarkably disciplined” and it resulted in surprisingly few Confederate casualties, either civilian or military. But the devastation was painful and strategically decisive. It remains a painful memory for people in the south but from a military point of view, marks a significant campaign in terms of its avoidance of human atrocities through strict control of invading troops by their leaders. Some exceptions occurred as you would expect, notably when Union prisoners of war were freed from the horrible Andersonville prison and they went on a retribution rampage before being stopped by Sherman.

@@tommyrq180 Maybe the "Hell" Sherman described was just him knowing what his troops would have done and likely what his officers would have allowed, had they been left to their own devices on the march to the sea...

@@Sharker2400 I agree. However, just to reinforce the point, Sherman’s army would arguably be less capable of inflicting hell on earth compared to, say, the Huns or Mongols. Hell is relative, I suppose, but war is definitely that.

@@tommyrq180 Less capable or less inclined? But I agree, the destruction that Attila and the Khans left in their wake was absolutely hellish.

Maybe next time 🤙

Close call

Welcome back from the Brink…

Underrated joke

basically most of american history and a good amount of knowledge of human history

He knows the key points. Matt thinks pearl harbor was two bi-planes

what does matt have to do with shanes knowledge. shane can literally tell you about all the presidents, every war/major event.@@Zure467

he has a bachelor in history and always talks about it

Unbelievable based

@@kelcat3587John Brown was a demon

Is he really that underrated? I thought it was always accepted that Grant was one of, if not the, best general that the North had. It's just that Lee was better. I'd say that Grant, as President, is more underrated or at least gets a shitton of flak.

​@@TheAluvisifyProbably one of the best American generals period.

Grant is notoriously known as one of the greatest American generals of all time….and a great man

​@@TheAluvisify Lee was not better he just got lucky with a few fights and it's a well know fact he wasn't that good a tactics and war in general

Antietam is nearby. Bloodiest day in American history. Quieter and very well preserved. Recommend that also.

Blood makes the grass grow.

😂

Shit was fucked

By adequate you mean not a lobbyist funded drunk willing to kill hundred of thousands of innocent to make sure the railroads went through Chicago.

You mean "The Butcher"....

Yeah it's pretty wild if you're paying attention. I live near Richmond and occasionally you'll just randomly see a sign casually mention something like "and this is where the Union broke through the lines to burn the Confederate capitol to the ground." It's quite surreal. Hell, the White House of the Confederacy is just randomly parked inside of the city's main medical complex!

Thank god and Sherman.

@@brotherhemp Sherman is in hell with Lincoln.

@@ronmastrio2798you really want us to walk a month down there and whoop your ass again?

Based

Old colonial culture was based like 90% on slavery and acting like the old english… fuck that

Ya the blockade and ability to raid fairly uncontested wasa huge detriment to the south. Nevermind the weapon shipments the union blocked.

In the end, the population difference was what sealed the south's defeat. The north simply had more men to lose than the south did.

When you say L.A., are you referring to Lower Alabama??? Cuz I got bit by the acting bug when I was in high school, and people kept telling me I needed to go to L.A., and that made me change my mind. Those people obviously have never visited Bayou La Batre, or Grand Bay, Alabama. Cuz I did, and unless I took a role as a welder at Steiners shipyard, or a meth cook/oyster cracker( I'm Caucasian) the acting gigs were slim in those parts. A scam is wtf that was...

@@Joshua-ps5de Probably Louisiana

@ManTheMaker Not that I'm hating on your terrible geographical skills, but LA is in California, not Louisiana you silly goose!

Such horrid detail unbecoming of human beings. I pray that the souls on that battlefield have found peace.

@@jainittai5104It’s not unbecoming at all. We’ve been killing each other since the dawn of man

You'd have been tarred and feathered as a British sympathizer . Lol

No it's actually not, what levels?

Yeah the difference is between you and them (yours is lower)

Grant started his Civil War campaign in my town of Quincy, Illinois

Exactly. The north actually lost more men than the south did (620,000 total deaths, with 360,222 Union deaths and 258,000 Confederate deaths) But, they had the people to lose.. And, a steady supply of new immigrants who were getting sent into the war straight off the boat. The south just ran out of people.

Grant's own men started referring to him as "the Butcher"... 😬

Grant could not stop winning leading up to Vicksburg, he was a beast.

Link?

i read this as theo was saying it and im high

most louisiana shit ever, I have a cousin down there and his next door neighbor got killed by her son like 7 or 8 years ago. Idk if it's the swamp gas or what but the people down there are out of their minds.

yeah? prove it

Actually, Lincoln never freed the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the states that condoned slavery, from their obligations to their slaves. Lincoln was hoping to cause a slave revolt,for his war with the south. Lincoln was a traitor from the start. He was a BAR Certified attorney, and as such, he could not hold any public office anywhere in the country, because of the titles he'd been granted. The 13th Amendment forbade it. ( The original 13th, so before anyone gives me any shit about the 13th Amendment being one abolishing slavery...the one I'm referring to is the TONA Act of 1819, and also if anyone does try, then explain how one can abolish something , then in the same breath say it can be used as punishment.)That was the reason the southern states left. They knew it was unlawful for him to hold the public office of President of The United States of America. And also, please, for some of you dimmer light bulbs out there, know that 1 I do not condone slavery, in any fuckin form, and 2. I'm an Iowan by birth, so I think I woulda been considered a yankee. (Not sure on that.) Just statin facts, folks. I will say this tho, Lincoln may have changed his mind after seeing Gettysburg with his own eyes. I think he tried to correct his mistakes, after seeing the cost of his treachery. But he was murdered before he could fix what he had been duped into by his masters. The last part is just my opinion, everything else I stated is a fact.

@@ghostfrieza2904 he said like 10 things, you tard

The Civil War was about slavery. Please refer to Apostles of Disunion by Charles Dew. Small book, but shows you how the South and their senators made slavery a cause they were willing to go to war for. The back of the novel contains speeches and legislative acts passed by Southern states that directly highlight and protect slavery.

@@Joren1122 I do not disagree that slavery was a partial reason. It was not the main reason. America had outside enemies that used slavery as a catalyst to divide, so they could conquer. It was mainly economics, and old grudges that was the main reason.

It was a rough few seasons for them. They hoped to bounce back the next year with a strong off-season, some big trades and free agency acquisitions. Unfortunately, most of their best men joined team Westward Expansion and the fat lady song on the South's dynasty.

@@calebmarek Fucking hell, that's exactly what happened. The South will rise again baby! Whooo!!!!

most of the battles were in Virginia

@@calebmarek That's a pretty good summary.

That’s a nice bug shirt dawg

They are hilarious, but you still need to consider getting out more.

Imagine if we hadn’t stuck to the castle doctrine. But as Bobby Lee said, our defeat had a silver lining.

lmao his fucking obscene expression of "dipping in the corn meal" had me rolling

Yeah, he kind of went the Hiroshima route there

At some point, you gotta make the enemy/citizens loose the will to fight.

it breaks the will of ur enemy. thats how winning is done.

@@navrotron22 Hey, I'm not going to say it's innefective that's for sure

@@iTz_Plewtoe didn’t work

I think you might mean miners but by saying minors it makes it ever better so 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

@@thomasbower5496 uh, that was an accidental bigotry on my part. But yeah, put those minors to work! Builds character and resentment.

It’s won. 🤦‍♂️

He's not wrong 🤷🏽‍♂lol

Should of had the Brothas smh

Certainly America would be a much better place.
