Why is the South Obsessed with the Civil War? (2017x41)

Air date: May 26, 2017

The Civil War had a huge effect on the United States of America, but especially on the former Confederacy in the South of the country. In this video I'm going to analyse why the connection to both the Civil War and the Confederate Past is so important to Southerners even though many are calling for the symbols and iconography to be banned on grounds of racism and white supremacy. *In the video I say Fort Sumter is in Virginia, it isn't, it's in South Carolina* Tom Richey's Video on the Confederacy as "Other": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB1Qw8TdlGE&t=1s Raid the Merch Market: https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/history-with-hilberts-market Music Used: Alternate History - Holfix Mystery - Holfix Past the Edge - Kevin MacLeod "Past the Edge" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://www.youtube.com/user/holfix Some of the sources and articles used: https://discovere.binghamton.edu/news/civilwar-3826.html https://www.civilwar.org/learn/articles/civil-war-casualties https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/25/rape-and-justice-in-the-civil-war/?_r=1 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/02/poverty-increase-map_n_5548577.html What was the Flag of the Confederates? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3eaqiB7wAo&t=2s Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Twitter: https://twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/History-with...
