Civil War Similarities with Modern USA

2:18 Part 1: Why did the Civil War Happen? (1800s state culture, slavery, secession)
29:46 Part 2: Covid and post covid vs 1800s and similarities between pre civil war and civil war (Trump, Covid, Border, Major controversy just like Lincoln and John Brown)
41:19 Part 3: How equipped, trained, and effective both sides were (equipping, financing, training, impact)
1:28:57 Part 4: Reconstruction/Post Lincoln assassination (short and brief post war overview of some relevant topics after the devastation of the war)

I tried to sprinkle in modern day commentary here and there as well but the bulk of that will be found in part 2

I specifically ignored most of the battles of the civil war since there are plenty of videos that do them far more justice than I can. I focused more on the important factors of almost everything else about the war in part 3 except the actual battles.

Much of this was with the help of the books "Fateful Lightning" by Allen Guelzo, this was a gripping narrative of the civil war! Highly recommend you read it, what a wonderfully insightful read!!!
