Russian Fleets in America in 1863 - a condensed lecture by Webster Tarpley from 2013

This is a condensed version of the lecture given by American historian Webster Tarpley in Washington, DC, in 2013, on the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Russian navy squadrons to New York City and San Francisco to assist the Union against the Confederacy in the fall of 1863.

Webster Tarpley discusses the contribution of Russian Tsar Alexander II to a northern victory in the US Civil War. Sadly, this great chapter of Russian-American relationship has been nearly forgotten in the US, even though it played a very important role in the very existence of the United States of America as we know it.

Watch this on a screen larger than a smartphone if you can! There are a lot of added graphics.

The entire talk is about an hour and a half long. It contains a lot more information about the Russian-American relationship than was cut to put this video together. It is filmed as a single-camera shot, so it won’t have any graphics in it, but it is well-worth the time!

It is available for viewing on C-SPAN (https://www.c-span.org/video/?315198-1/russias-participation-us-civil-war) as well as on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLB1umCHaqw&t=1s&ab_channel=WebsterTarpleyFanChannel). I highly recommend watching (or listening to) this entire very informative lecture!
