In the video, Alessandro Barbero discusses the American Civil War, its causes, and its effects on slavery and the economy. He argues that the war was fought primarily over the issue of slavery, and that the south lost because they could not compete with the north's industrial might. He also points out that, even though the war ended slavery, the south continued to fight for their right to secede from the Union.
In this video, historian Alessandro Barbero discusses the events leading up to and during the American Civil War. He focuses on the cases of John Brown, an abolitionist leader who was killed in a conflict with pro-slavery forces, and Scott Dred Scott, a black slave who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom in a federal court. The Supreme Court ruled in Scott's favor, declaring that he is not a citizen and has no right to appeal to federal authorities. This decision has far-reaching implications, as it establishes that each state is free to abolish slavery as it sees fit.
