Ken Burns Civil War Series - Episode One: The Cause (1861)

[YellowSnow]

Shout out to our Shelby Foote @RaceBannon .

Fuck off @SECDAWG you treasonous cousin fucker.

@swaye @whlinder Northern Virginia is for gay lovers and losers.

Sorry Pod. Minus slavery issues, I fight with my confederate brothers against big gubment.

As Hank Jr sang:

Just needed more supplies. Could out shoot em 10:1.

Was a terrible War. Lotta good lives lost and beautiful families and properties destroyed.

SEC still hasn’t forgot and thus, football.

The North

1-0

The South is the new North

Uhm yeah, no. The GDP of the union states circa 1865 still dwarfs the CSA states. Both per capita and in absolute terms. Same as it ever was.

This was key. The bigger population and better infrastructure was an absolute advantage and if not for McClellan, I wonder if the Civil War would have concluded in 1964.

Has anyone read the Grant Book by Chernow? Ridiculously good. Grant is one of the most notable Americans ever IMHO.

I literally finally finished it this week. Really good read. Biased though, I'm a long tim Chernow fan.

Didn't know a lot about Grant before hand. One of our most underrated Presidents.

He should have gone to the convention floor to get that 3rd term, IMO.

For as great a leader as he was, it was amazing how he managed to get burned often in his business dealings.

One mentally TUFF sob. That's for sure.

@YellowSnow @HFNY @CFetters_Nacho_Lover @Doog_de_Jour

Chernow's take on Worshington is also essential.

I think his presidency was underrated and he did the best he could with Reconstruction. It was a losing hand, however, unless we? wanted to occupy @SECDAWG for 50 years.

Don't know about 3rd term though. George set the precedent here and it was a good one. We don't need life long kings.

President Grant was willing to do what it took for reconstruction and reconciliation

Congress wasn't

Didn't help that the South was BACK in congress and rigged elections with Jim Crow to send white supremacist lawmakers

Kids today think it's tuff

I blame Oregon. They welcomed all those traitorous cocksuckers with open arms after the War.

I feel like Andrew Johnson set the conditions for reconstruction to fail and wonder what if Grant took over Lincoln’s death

This would make a great counter factual to research.

Agree on Chernow's Worshington. Read Hamilton too long before it was a play. Essential.

Disagree on POTUS term-limits. Long convo. TITTT.

 

[RaceBannon]

Johnson did his best to fuck it up but needed more tim to get his guys in there

Grant actually made some progress before Congress pulled the plug. Grant had troops down there. Remember that in the early days after the war, Blacks were winning elections, including to Congress from the south

Then the Klan showed up

AJ was a POS POTUS. Definitely racist af.

Agree with Race. He was there. I doubt Grant would have fared any better earlier due to Southern White Democrats revolting. It must have been a bitter pill to swallow - when 3/5's became 1/1 - where the blick vote instantly sent blicks to Congress, state legislatures, mayorships, etc. Buttfuck those guysm.

I still need to read Hamilton.

Never have seen the show, nor will I ever. I loathe Broadway Musicals (much to the displeasure of @MrsSnow and I don't need hip hop music to teach me history. I prefer books n' stuff for that.

I'll give you an hour of chairlift Tug time this spring for HH Ski Club. You can say it to my face on the topics of your choosing.

Correct. However Grant was reticent to send his troop guysm back in until the Klan made it impossible not to. Then came Uncle Phil Sheridan to the rescue.

The brilliance of Grant was the let Uncle Phil and Sherman do their thing, while he bleed Lee to death.

It's an interesting town. Parts are West Bellevue and parts are Lynwood.
