00:00What are they doing now?
00:01They're sitting there, doing nothing.
00:06What are they doing now?
00:08They're doing nothing.
00:09You asked me a while ago, and I told you they're doing nothing.
00:11You ask me now, and I tell you they're doing nothing.
00:14You ask me again in two years, and I'll tell you they're doing nothing.
00:17Believe me, I never understood what they want.
00:20I never understood what this war is about.
00:22Are you crazy, or are you moving?
00:24You're in the war, and you don't know why you're fighting?
00:26I don't know, I was standing behind you.
00:28I don't know, I was standing behind you.
00:30And the commander was standing in front of me.
00:32I don't remember, but he was saying something about freedom.
00:35Something like that.
00:36Look, we're trying to free the slaves.
00:38Because an American citizen can't be a slave to another American citizen.
00:42Why?
00:43Tell me why.
00:44Do you want someone to tell you what to do and what not to do?
00:46Well, you tell me what to do and what not to do.
00:48Because you're stupid, and you don't know how to take responsibility for yourself.
00:50And someone has to use you.
00:51I don't know, I feel like you're looking at me as a slave.
00:53Why are you philosophizing?
00:54I'm not philosophizing, but I feel like we need to be consistent with ourselves.
00:57Before we look at the other side.
00:59In the end, we want democracy.
01:01I honestly want you to shut up.
01:03What are they doing right now?
01:04They're not doing anything.
01:05They're two people. One with a look like me, and one with an attitude like you.
01:07They're talking to each other, and they're not doing anything.
01:09Of course, they're dealing with each other in a good way.
01:11They're not talking to each other the way you're talking to me.
01:13I'm serious, I'm the one who's doing this to myself.
01:15I'm going to work in the battalion's kitchen, and make food for the battalion.
01:17Of course.
01:18You're going to the kitchen right now, and you're choosing slavery.
01:20You're a contradictory person.
01:21Listen, even the glasses are fine.
01:23Look, what are they thinking about?
01:25Let's look at the other side.
01:27I feel like I can be convinced by his words.
01:36Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a new episode of Al Dahriya.
01:39On May 22, 1856, under the banner of the American Congress,
01:44the deputy, Charles Saminer, was sitting in his office after a violent session.
01:48He gave a very powerful speech, attacking slavery.
01:51In the speech, he said that slavery was one of the biggest sins on this earth,
01:55and he demanded that it be completely abolished in America.
01:58Charles, my dear, after he said that, he looked out the window of his office,
02:01and he saw a man named Bristol Brooks.
02:03He was a deputy of South Carolina, and the supporter of slavery.
02:07Charles entered the room, and in his hand was his axe.
02:09Oh, Abu Ahmed, poor thing.
02:11You're the poor thing, my dear.
02:12This man did a flair like this in a wrestling match.
02:14He looks like an old man, but he's angry.
02:16Brooks entered Charles's room, and he went down on his head with his axe.
02:20He hit him, my dear, he hit him so hard, that the deputy, Charles Saminer,
02:23lost his sight for a moment.
02:24He couldn't see anything, and the other man was hitting him.
02:26Brooks didn't stop hitting him, no.
02:28He kept jumping on him, and he kept hitting him with his hand,
02:31and with his axe, until the axe broke.
02:33The axe broke, and he didn't shut up.
02:35He kept hitting him with the handle of the axe,
02:37until the deputy, Charles Saminer, lost his sight completely.
02:40He kept going, my dear.
02:41People in Congress tried to push the man over the other man.
02:44But Brooks' friends prevented anyone from interfering.
02:47Brooks continued like this until he decided to stop.
02:50He calmed down, and he left the man on the ground,
02:52with his broken leg, who was drowned in Charles Saminer's blood.
02:54He was taken to the hospital, and he was between life and death.
02:57The truth is, my dear, even though this was a clear and honest attack,
03:01in the American Congress, and the weapon of the crime was left in its place,
03:04the Americans were different,
03:06and they received this incident in a completely different way.
03:09In the cities and provinces of North America,
03:11thousands of people went to marches with Saminer's support,
03:14and demanded that Brooks be arrested and tried.
03:16The letters of Charles Saminer,
03:17which were decisive words against slavery,
03:19were sent to the cities of North America,
03:21and more than a million copies were distributed.
03:23When we go to the South of the United States,
03:25we find that the situation is completely different.
03:26The Southern press treated Brooks as a hero,
03:28a trained traveler,
03:30and the citizens sent him thousands of sticks as a gift.
03:33He started with his stick, which was broken in the fight for slavery,
03:36and with it was written,
03:37Hit him again!
03:38He broke it, and we'll get you another one.
03:39This incident, my dear,
03:40was the beginning of the declining rate of the American Civil War.
03:44Five years after this incident,
03:45the Americans will kill each other mercilessly,
03:47and will meet in 10,000 locations.
03:493.5 million Americans will turn into soldiers,
03:52carrying weapons,
03:53to kill who?
03:54Americans like them.
03:55Of these 3.5 million soldiers,
03:565 will die.
03:57620,000 people.
03:59About 2% of the population,
04:01and this is a very large number.
04:02America, my dear,
04:03in World War II,
04:04this number did not die from the Americans.
04:06The Americans will kill each other in mass murders.
04:09Entire cities will be wiped off the face of the earth.
04:11This war, my dear,
04:12despite its absurdity,
04:13will be the event that will establish
04:15the United States of America that we know.
04:17It is very difficult, my dear,
04:18to understand the presence of America now,
04:20unless we go back to the American Civil War.
04:23Let's start with the first question.
04:25Was America not divided from the beginning?
04:27If we go back, my dear,
04:28to the moment of establishment in 1776,
04:30we will find that 13 states
04:32will announce their separation from Britain.
04:34And these, my dear,
04:35established the United States of America,
04:37in a document known as the Declaration of Independence.
04:39The first sentence in this declaration
04:41says something very strange.
04:42It says,
04:43All men are created equal.
04:44All people were born equal.
04:46A beautiful scene,
04:47suitable as a happy ending
04:49to the American Declaration of Independence.
04:51A united people standing next to each other
04:53against a great colonizer.
04:54But the civil war that will arise
04:55after more than 85 years of establishment
04:57will actually have nothing to do
04:59with what was written in this declaration.
05:01Because, simply,
05:02all men in America
05:04were not equal in America at that time.
05:06Let me tell you,
05:07of every seven citizens,
05:08there was a citizen owned by another citizen.
05:10So, if you are seven sitting at a coffee shop,
05:12there is one of your friends.
05:13Of 31 million Americans,
05:15there are 4 million slaves.
05:16They don't have any rights.
05:17They are sold like property.
05:19So, my dear,
05:20it doesn't matter much
05:21who sells the horses.
05:22The slaves were sometimes naked.
05:24And sometimes,
05:25you find them jumping
05:26to show the customer
05:27that they are healthy.
05:28The slaves,
05:29you would find them sitting
05:30in wooden boxes.
05:31They don't stand the heat,
05:32or the cold,
05:33or the rain.
05:34Their bodies
05:35are susceptible to all diseases.
05:36They work 14 hours a day
05:37in agricultural lands.
05:38And if the moon rises in the sky,
05:39and the night shines like this,
05:40they work 18 hours a day.
05:41The slave, my dear,
05:42was not recognized
05:43by their marriage
05:44or their family.
05:45So, it was very normal
05:46that if the owner of a slave's family
05:47got rich,
05:48he would tear the family apart.
05:49Like a piece of paper.
05:50You have five slaves.
05:51A father, a mother, and children.
05:52No, take a child from here.
05:53Take a mother from here.
05:54Get the daughter to know her father.
05:55It doesn't matter
05:56if the whole family is naked.
05:57The important thing is
05:58that they sell things.
05:59Let's spend half an hour now
06:00and half an hour later,
06:01we are done.
06:02So, my dear,
06:03the family continues its life
06:04without seeing each other again.
06:05The slave's life,
06:06because of its difficulties,
06:07is very small.
06:09And it ends very quickly
06:10either by illness
06:11or by death.
06:12Let me surprise you
06:13and tell you that
06:14there are only four slaves
06:15in every 100 American slaves
06:16who reach the age of 60.
06:17Sorry, Abu Ahmed,
06:18but if you are trying
06:19to convince me
06:20that I didn't do it
06:21because of poverty,
06:22I don't have the money
06:23to become a poor slave.
06:24Listen,
06:25I'm poor.
06:26What does this have to do
06:27with the American Civil War?
06:28What made the North
06:29and the South
06:30fight each other like this?
06:31The difficult situation,
06:32my dear,
06:33was mainly in the South.
06:34The North, my dear,
06:35slavery was about to end
06:36and it was almost
06:37from the remnants of the past.
06:38George Washington
06:39founded America
06:40in 1776.
06:41But in the South,
06:42slavery remained
06:43complete,
06:44continuous,
06:45and stable.
06:46And this is simply
06:47because the South
06:48is a huge farm.
06:49Its main crop
06:50is cotton,
06:51and cotton needs
06:52very hard labor.
06:53Cotton needs
06:54a lot of manual labor.
06:55That's why, my dear,
06:56the existence of slaves
06:57as workers and slaves
06:58for the landowners
06:59who live in the South
07:00is a subject
07:01that is not debated.
07:02Slavery here
07:03is not a humanitarian issue.
07:04Slavery is a disaster,
07:05they say.
07:06It's like my slave shop.
07:07How do I get cotton?
07:08How do I work?
07:09Do I go down
07:10and work myself?
07:11Or, God forbid,
07:12do I give him his rights,
07:13pay his salaries,
07:14give him leave,
07:15and work 7-8 hours a day?
07:16And then he says
07:17he wants a universal basic income?
07:19No, my dear.
07:20Up to this point,
07:21the sides of the conflict
07:22are clear.
07:23The North wants one thing,
07:24and the South wants another.
07:25The problem, my dear,
07:26is that we are one state.
07:27The problem is that
07:28if we are one state,
07:29we can't run with two regimes.
07:30The difference is in the ball,
07:31not in the state,
07:32not in the people.
07:33And here, my dear,
07:34each side starts
07:35pressing the other
07:36to do the opposite.
07:37In America,
07:38a strong movement is born
07:39that calls for the abolition
07:40of slavery in America.
07:41This movement
07:42stimulates the feeling
07:43that there is a part of America
07:44that has slaves
07:45who are subordinate
07:46to trade and religion.
07:47This movement
07:48will save characters
07:49like Harriet Tubman
07:50who was nicknamed
07:51the slave Musa
07:52because she was
07:53taking a huge step
07:54to expel slaves
07:55from the state of Maryland
07:56from the South
07:57to the North.
07:58And other influential characters
07:59like Frederick Douglass
08:00appear,
08:01the former slave
08:02who ran away from his master
08:03in Baltimore
08:04after teaching himself
08:05to be a slave.
08:06And here,
08:07we start to see
08:08a large movement
08:09that opposes slavery.
08:10Activists,
08:11intellectuals,
08:12and writers.
08:13We see people
08:14like Harriet Stone
08:15who wrote the novel
08:16Uncle Tom
08:17that described
08:18the suffering
08:19of Uncle Tom
08:20the slave
08:21with slavery.
08:22This novel
08:23will be printed
08:24by more than
08:25a million copies.
08:26The novel
08:27will be very famous
08:28and will be
08:29loved by the whole world.
08:30This, my dear,
08:31is the sentiment
08:32that existed in the North.
08:33If we go to the South,
08:34we will see
08:35an unknown expulsion
08:36to its door.
08:37What is this expulsion,
08:38my dear?
08:39There was a severed hand
08:40for a black slave
08:41as a clear and
08:42clear threat to her.
08:43No, Abu Ahmed,
08:44it is clear that there is
08:45a state of hatred.
08:46My dear,
08:47until now,
08:48the war is a verbal
08:49and symbolic war.
08:50We are still on the way
08:51to the Suez Canal,
08:52we haven't moved yet.
08:53But one by one
08:54and quickly,
08:55the war will take
08:56a violent turn
08:57from both sides.
08:58Let's go back
08:59to 1856
09:00when the slaves'
09:01supporters formed
09:02an armed force
09:03to impose slavery
09:04on the state.
09:05Of course,
09:06my dear,
09:07you may be surprised
09:08how the republicans
09:09do this.
09:10But you will
09:11understand later.
09:12The armed clashes
09:13between the two sides
09:14and the constant
09:15work between
09:16the two sides
09:17heat up a little
09:18and calm down a little.
09:19This issue
09:20has been going on
09:21for years
09:22and was known
09:23by the name
09:24of Nazif,
09:25Kansas.
09:26And it will
09:27continue.
09:28The division
09:29between the Americans
09:30around the idea
09:31of slavery
09:32has become
09:33one of the most
09:34controversial figures
09:35in the history
09:36of the United States.
09:37Gibran Azizi
09:38was a failed businessman
09:39who chose between
09:40more than one state
09:41and failed in all of them.
09:42Azizi failed
09:43in everything
09:44but getting a job.
09:45Azizi gave him
09:46about 20 sons.
09:47Gibran Azizi
09:48on various trips
09:49to look for
09:50a place
09:51where he could succeed
09:52chose a group
09:53of Afro-Americans
09:54who ran away
09:55from slavery.
09:56He will hear
09:57their stories
09:58and start to
09:59get affected
10:00by them.
10:01Azizi's idea
10:02will take over
10:03his life
10:04and the lives
10:05of his sons.
10:06In the beginning
10:07of 1855
10:08he and his sons
10:09formed a gang
10:10of armed men.
10:11Azizi wakes up
10:12on Friday
10:13and says
10:14let's go
10:15and fix the shower.
10:16Azizi gathers
10:17his 20 sons
10:18and wakes up
10:19on Friday
10:20and says
10:21let's go
10:22and free the slaves.
10:23So that your father
10:24could have
10:25his right
10:26over my son
10:27Burayel.
10:28Gibran Azizi
10:29and his gang
10:30set out
10:31to the south
10:32of the United States
10:33to free the slaves
10:34under the guise
10:35of arms.
10:36Then they go
10:37to the far north
10:38and sometimes
10:39to Canada.
10:40The gang
10:41will not only
10:42free the slaves
10:43but also
10:44carry out
10:45revenge
10:46against the slaves.
10:47They will kill
10:48mercilessly.
10:49Azizi found
10:50that in one of
10:51the operations
10:52Burayel
10:53and his sons
10:54come down
10:55on 5 slaves
10:56and cut them
10:57with swords.
10:58Azizi succeeded
10:59and these two
11:00people
11:01were the ones
11:02who started
11:03the rebellion
11:04against the slaves.
11:05Azizi will
11:06set out
11:07a plan
11:08to free the slaves
11:09that will
11:10combine
11:11his courage
11:12and his
11:12arrogance.
11:13Azizi's plan
11:14was to bring
11:15the slaves
11:16to a military military base
11:17in the state
11:18of Virginia.
11:19After taking
11:20the weapons
11:21they will
11:22bring the slaves
11:23back to the base
11:24and take back
11:25their weapons
11:26and start a revolution
11:27that will
11:28and 13 white men with him and 5 black men.
11:31The second step of the plan is to direct his call to the slaves
11:34to join him and make this armed struggle.
11:36But here, my dear, the plan falls apart
11:38because the slaves do not respond to Brown's call.
11:41A man comes to them on a convoy
11:42and wants to bring them a weapon against what is known to be their masters.
11:45They do not know how to use this weapon,
11:47nor who to use it against, nor how the plan will continue.
11:49And so, John Brown finds himself trapped in this cell.
11:52He and his children.
11:53John Brown tries to hold out as long as he can,
11:55but in the end, he loses his strength and his two children die.
11:58He injures himself, so he surrenders.
12:00After two months of his trial,
12:02America is also divided into violent divisions,
12:05and every day there is a new crime.
12:08The main subject is John Brown.
12:09The American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson describes him
12:12as the American Christian
12:14who tries to save Americans from their sins.
12:16On the other hand, we see the writer Nathaniel Harson
12:19who says that no one deserves to be executed in history as much as John Brown.
12:22As for Azizi,
12:23Frederick Douglass, whom I told you about,
12:25the slave who freed himself, taught himself to read and write,
12:27wrote about John Brown and said that
12:29John Brown's enthusiasm for the case outperformed his enthusiasm as a slave.
12:32That is, John Brown, the white man,
12:34his enthusiasm for slavery was greater than my enthusiasm as a slave.
12:37He was liberated.
12:38He said, if you consider my enthusiasm a ray of light in the darkness of slavery,
12:41then John Brown is the sun.
12:43After Azizi, two months after the trial,
12:45he issues a ruling to execute John Brown.
12:47On December 2, 1859,
12:49the ruling is issued against John Brown.
12:51On the death certificate,
12:53he sends a letter to the guard written on it,
12:55I am John Brown, and I am now sure that
12:57this American land is guilty of the crime of slavery,
13:00and it will not be cleansed except with blood.
13:03As it is clear, Azizi,
13:05John Brown's rebellion failed.
13:07But he succeeded in one thing, Azizi,
13:09the shock of terror in the hearts of those opposed to slavery.
13:12Especially, of course, the people in the south.
13:14They all feel that the subject is not a little bit of good talk
13:16and educated in crime.
13:18Of course, there are armed militias
13:20and the kidnapping operation is huge and pompous.
13:22No, we are in the middle of the night,
13:24and we are thinking of arming the slaves.
13:26And those who did not respond to John Brown's call,
13:28will respond to the call later.
13:30The people in the south began to fear
13:32that one day or one night,
13:34they might find the slaves with guns
13:36and slaughtering them.
13:38At this moment, they start to make sure
13:40that they arm themselves more,
13:42and they start to make them military militias.
13:44In the beginning, in order to protect them.
13:46These military militias will be
13:48the southern army units,
13:50or what is known as the confederation.
13:52Dear Aziz Nisha, I have bluetooth,
13:54or what is known as the small one,
13:56in the circle you are talking about.
13:58A thousand greetings, Azizi.
14:00Dear, you are talking to me about a civil war
14:02between the north and the south.
14:04Armed militias, members of Congress,
14:06arrests and kidnappings.
14:08This great movement is missing a very important
14:10fan, Mr. American President.

17:32Ten states have left the United States.
17:34The Confederacy has come down to play solitaire and surrender.
17:36The president has agreed not to let a state leave.
17:38The atmosphere is ideal for a civil war.

17:48Fort Center in South Carolina.

19:22But the volunteers didn't stop.
19:24We just wanted 100.
19:26Enough!
19:28The Confederation had to
19:30send back more than 40,000 volunteers.
19:32They said,
19:34we've had enough.
19:36Excitement was overpowering
19:38everyone in America.
19:40North and South were thirsty
19:42for a second lesson.
19:44There was only one group,

22:10The first major battle in the war was the Battle of Mansus.
22:12For many months, the clashes continued between the two sides.
22:14After dozens of clashes,
22:16along the front line between the two sides,
22:18and after hundreds of killings,
22:20the first major military battle took place.
22:22The first major military battle took place.
22:24When a military force moved from Washington,
22:26its goal was to occupy a number of strategic areas
22:28in the state of Virginia,
22:30specifically the area of Mansus,
22:32which is on the other side of the confederal capital, Richmond.
22:34Didn't I tell you that Mansus,
22:36where the battle took place,
22:38was about 40 km away from the capital?
22:40This is a war far from the capital.
22:42The people are afraid,
22:44and they travel a lot.
22:46Don't you see what's happening on the streets?
22:48The people of the capital think
22:50that this is content.
22:52There's a war, and it's only 40 km away.
22:54Come on, Kareem,
22:56dress the kids, and let's go watch.
22:58This is not a joke.
23:00Many of the people of the city
23:02brought sandwiches, snacks, and cold things
23:04and went to a high place,
23:06hoping to scare the southerners
23:08and teach them a lesson.
23:10On June 21, 1861,
23:12the Battle of Mansus began,
23:14even though the forces of the North
23:16performed excellently in the beginning.
23:18But in the middle of the day,
23:20they started to fall,
23:22like at 12 o'clock in the morning.
23:24With time, the army of the United States
23:26collapsed in front of the army of the South.
23:28There was a fight in the army of the North,
23:30and they started to flee.
23:32Suddenly, the people of Washington
23:34felt that the battle was
23:36getting closer.
23:38The people of Washington,
23:40who were watching the explosion,
23:42found themselves running and fleeing.
23:44They found themselves in the middle of the battle,
23:46exposed to the blows of the cannons and bullets.
23:48At the end of the day,
23:50the first major battle of the war
23:52was over.
23:54Everyone was surprised.
23:56It was not as simple as people thought.
23:58Neither the L or the F.
24:00Mansus became a river of blood,
24:02and everyone noticed the sudden power of the South.
24:04They are not like the army of the North.
24:06They don't have the same uniform.
24:08They don't look like the army of the North.
24:10They fight with their normal clothes,
24:12but they are murderers.
24:14They have enough weapons,
24:16plans and military tactics.
24:18The battle of Mansus was the first shock.
24:20The shock was not the escape of the soldiers.
24:22The shock was the realization that
24:24this is not a war that will last a few days.
24:26This is a long war that will take many lives.
24:28Abraham Lincoln decided to appoint a new general
24:30who could face Robert Edward Lee,
24:32whom he had appointed and separated.
24:34He needed someone who could face Edward Lee,
24:36this experienced general.
24:38Edward Lee, who is known for his ambitious plans
24:40and a high understanding of weapons and their capabilities,
24:42without his ability to plan strategically,
24:44because he was an engineer.
24:46After that, he became a military man.
24:48Abraham Lincoln needed a unique personality.
24:50Here, my dear, he found the amazing general,
24:52George McClellan.
24:54McClellan decided to reorganize the defeated army
24:56and send more and more soldiers.
24:58McClellan said to Abraham Lincoln,
25:00if you don't interfere in my work,
25:02I want to do a clean job.
25:04I will make an army for you.
25:06I will not make an army for anyone,
25:08I will make an army for my brother.
25:10Here, Lincoln, my dear,
25:12felt that he was a man of understanding,
25:14so he told him to take his time.
25:16In fact, the press did not agree with McClellan,
25:18so they made him a public figure,
25:20and began to film him as Napoleon,
25:22the new Napoleon who will restore the greatness of his time.
25:24It is true that the battles continued along the front,
25:26but they did not strike the last blow.
25:28All this is empty talk.
25:30McClellan will come and finish it, God willing.
25:32In this way, the war continued in 1861,
25:34and in 1861, it continued to this day.
25:36All they do in the north is to build their army,
25:38but they do not play.
25:40With 75,000 soldiers,
25:42which Lincoln demanded at the beginning of the war,
25:44they reached 700,000.
25:46But still, McClellan was not ready to attack.
25:48Honestly, Mr. Lincoln, I did not want to tell you this at first,
25:50but we still need more soldiers.
25:52This number is not enough.
25:54McClellan, who has 150,000 soldiers in his army,
25:56still refuses to attack.
25:58He tells me that he still does not dare, honestly.
26:00General, we are lost.
26:02My dear, trust me.
26:04We drink tea, we eat breakfast,
26:06and we go to fight.
26:08You like the soldiers who come to you on this day of war,
26:10because they do not eat well.
26:12And you know, the war makes you hungry.
26:14Here, my dear, the relationship between the two starts to get tense.
26:16In private meetings, Lincoln describes McClellan
26:18as a failure leader,
26:20and he always has a reason not to fight.
26:22But every other day, he hates Lincoln
26:24and says that he is pressuring him.
26:26All the time he wants us to fight, and I am not ready.
26:28Almost a year after the beginning of the war,
26:30Lincoln goes to McClellan's command center
26:32and tells him, I want to know what your mother is doing.
26:34Please, get up and move.
26:36I want us to fight.
26:38Finally, my dear, McClellan will rise up
26:40and be ready for war.
26:42He will attack the Confederates,
26:44and attack their capital, Richmond,
26:46with an army that America has never seen before.
26:48Look at what Abu Ahmed did.
26:50McClellan had 121,000 soldiers,
26:5214,000 horses,
26:54and 1,150 cars,
26:5644 cannons, and tons of ammunition and equipment.
26:58He was one of the strongest armies in the 19th century.
27:00But on the road, there was a disaster.
27:02All the people realized that the maps they had
27:04were old.
27:06The current road to Richmond is full of
27:08tanks and a lot of forces
27:10on the road to Richmond.
27:12And when the Confederates finally arrived,
27:14they used a very clever trick.
27:16McClellan, my dear, takes advantage of this trick
27:18and feels that he has at least 100,000 soldiers
27:20in front of him.
27:22And even though he has 121,000 soldiers,
27:24he tells you, in order to be safe,
27:26he decides to stop
27:28and ask for more troops.
27:30Let me tell you, my dear, that when McClellan's army
27:32was in disarray, there was a hero in the North
27:34who worked hard on his road.
27:36His name came from the far west.
27:38A young general who was able to achieve
27:40amazing victories one after the other.
27:42He was able to advance in states like Tennessee and Kentucky.
27:44Anyway, my dear, we have a military general
27:46whose star began to shine,
27:48especially in his battle against the Confederates.
27:50After a series of battles, he was able to expel the Confederates
27:52from some states.
27:54Suddenly, people began to hear about a new hero.
27:56U.S. John, the leader who will have a big part
27:58in the war and in the history of the United States.
28:00And when we got to the middle of 1862,
28:02it was the time of the Confederate soldiers'
28:04special voluntary, which lasted a year.
28:06And a lot of soldiers were ready to go home again.
28:08But, my dear, they were issued
28:10three new laws issued by the
28:12Confederate president, Jefferson Davis.
28:14The first law is to extend the military service
28:16for three years instead of a year.
28:18The second law is to enlist every white man
28:20from 18 to 35 years,
28:22for three years.
28:24The third law is that all people who have these conditions
28:26will serve in the army,
28:28except for those who have 20 soldiers.
28:30And, my dear, every American man in the south
28:32between the ages of 18 and 35
28:34finds himself in a dilemma.
28:36Either he goes to war for three years,
28:38or he buys all his money and slaves.
28:40And, my dear, the war in the south
28:42requires a man who fights in this war
28:44to keep his slavery.
28:46And he can. The man in the south
28:48who doesn't need anything in this war
28:50to keep his slaves.
28:52Did you see, my dear, the difference?
28:54Of course, my dear, you expect me to tell you
28:56that people were upset and said,
28:58we won't serve. Why?
29:00We are the poor who don't have slaves
29:02and we fight for slavery.
29:04But, actually, my dear, the difference
29:06is that the poor man died in this war
29:08and didn't care at all about what was happening.
29:10He didn't care about his family.
29:12That's why slavery must continue.
29:14Because if slavery is over,
29:16no one will take advantage of it.
29:18And, my dear, everyone in this war
29:20found a justification to continue it.
29:22By the end of 1862, everyone realized
29:24that the war changed everything in America.
29:26Meanwhile, the great army of McKinley
29:28was drowning in Virginia's swamps
29:30and was running around in its swamps without moving.
29:32So, the army of U.S. Grant,
29:34which belonged to the Northern Union,
29:36was standing in the west without any progress.
29:38So, the army of the Southern Union
29:40was shining and flourishing in the war.
29:42Everyone heard about its genius,
29:44which was able to succeed the Confederate Army,
29:46which had a smaller number of soldiers
29:48and made it able to build any progress
29:50from the Union Army in all places
29:52throughout the front.
29:54It's amazing, my dear, that it was winning
29:56against forces with a larger number
29:58in the middle of America.
30:00The war also had an economic and diplomatic
30:02part. The Southerners had an idea.
30:04They felt that if they could pressure
30:06the Confederate Army in the South,
30:08they would take a very important economic decision.
30:10What would they do? They would deprive the world
30:12of the American cotton.
30:14The most famous cotton in the world at the time.
30:16The leaders of the South were convinced
30:18that this would make France and Britain
30:20intervene and say,
30:22Uncle Abraham, don't find an army,
30:24we want cotton, and God forbid,
30:26there's no cotton in the cotton fields.
30:28That's why Jefferson Davis,
30:30the president of the South,
30:32ordered to reduce cotton production by 90%.
30:34We want cotton in the cotton fields
30:36before it's exported to Britain.
30:38Cotton loves slavery.
30:40Do you see this shirt? It has red blood cells,
30:42white blood cells, and black blood cells.
30:44That's Fathi Abdel Wahab Jefferson.
30:46Of course, the Southerners said,
30:48but they played it right.
30:50Their rebellious leader, Edward Lee,
30:52gave them a military superiority,
30:54and the cotton movement gave them
30:56an economic and diplomatic superiority.
30:58So, of course, the Southerners won,
31:00and slavery won, and that's a clear explanation
31:02Let me explain, the North wasn't that weak.
31:04True, the Confederate army was fast,
31:06and could block the attacks of the United Nations
31:08from the front, but it was a failure
31:10in dealing with the danger that was happening inside,
31:12which was huge waves of slave migrations.
31:14The slaves were saying,
31:16let's run away, go to the North,
31:18and gain our freedom.
31:20So they crossed the Arbanine forests,
31:22and they succeeded in hiding in the South.
31:24It's true that Lincoln was the hero of the old law,
31:26which was based on the surrender of the Arbanine slaves,
31:28and their return to the South.
31:30He said, we'll go to the North,
31:32and we'll go to the South,
31:34but he couldn't make the most important decision.
31:36The decision that many of the Confederates
31:38were waiting for,
31:40his official decision to abolish slavery.
31:42He said, no, that's all that happens,
31:44and he didn't abolish it,
31:46he was thinking, he was still typing.
31:48Why do you hate slavery?
31:50And that was clear to him from the third minute.
31:52But he wasn't a traveler,
31:54he was a politician.
31:56He had opinions and ideas,
31:58and between the South and the North,
32:00he didn't hate slavery.
32:02But yes, he was fighting for the Arbanine people,
32:04for the Arbanine people,
32:06for the Arbanine people,
32:08for the Arbanine people,
32:10for the Arbanine people,
32:12for the Arbanine people,
32:14for the Arbanine people,
32:16for the Arbanine people,
32:18for the Arbanine people,
32:20for the Arbanine people,
32:22for the Arbanine people,
32:24for the Arbanine people,
32:26Second, Lincoln hated slavery,
32:28but he was afraid that if he took a decision
32:30to abolish slavery,
32:32it wouldn't let other states practice slavery.
32:34To get rid of the pressure,
32:36he proposed an alternative solution.
32:38According to the law,
32:40if every king abolishes one of his slaves,
32:42the government will give him $400 in compensation.
32:44Also, Lincoln came up with a solution,
32:46he tried to find a place for the Arbanine people
32:48in Africa, specifically Liberia,
32:50to build free colonies there,
32:52and start their state in their home country.
32:54But something happened,
32:56that will change everything,
32:58and in a surprising way.
33:00In the middle of 1962,
33:02the great General McLean
33:04was sitting with his soldiers,
33:06waiting in the trenches of Virginia.
33:08You know Mr. McLean well,
33:10a man with a cold heart.
33:12While he was waiting,
33:14he noticed the Confederate army
33:16in the middle of the camp.
33:18Oh my God!
33:20A brave step from the southern camp,
33:22McLean's army attacked.
33:24He realized that he was a brave man,
33:26so he attacked.
33:28McLean's army was completely united,
33:30and the attack lasted for 7 days.
33:32Although the Confederate army
33:34completely stopped the attack,
33:36and although the southerners
33:38will suffer a disaster when they lose
33:4020,000 soldiers in this battle,
33:42listen to this,
33:44George McLean will be the one
33:46who will be disappointed and afraid,
33:48and will consider himself defeated,
33:50and he will be in tears.
33:52Isn't it right to cry when we are kids?
33:54Can you imagine how many bullets
33:56will General Lincoln take?
33:58On the other hand,
34:00Robert Edward Lee and the leaders of the south
34:02were surprised by this undeserving victory.
34:04McLean's retreat will give them a great courage
34:06to advance more.
34:08They are the ones who are afraid.
34:10Indeed, after a few months,
34:12Robert Edward Lee will lead his soldiers
34:14to the north to start taking the land of the Union.
34:16The situation has completely changed.
34:18He was looking for a dog, he was looking for the North, and he started attacking.
34:21Suddenly, the citizens in the state of Maryland found the Southern Army walking on their land.
34:24Why was MacLennan running to MacLennan and telling him,
34:27Mr. MacLennan, please, please, a disaster is happening to us.
34:29How long are you going to wait for us? They're going to enslave us.
34:31We're going to be slaves to them.
34:32Despite all MacLennan's attempts at persuasion, he found himself forced to fight.
34:37He was put in the war again.
34:39He went to face the Southern Army in the Antietam area.
34:42But MacLennan's hesitation and lack of confidence in himself,
34:46and his desire for his army to be perfect, even if this delayed the war,
34:49really made him have a strong army.
34:51An army ready to face a sudden attack like this.
34:53The Antietam battle is a bloody battle in the war.
34:5612,000 casualties and injured fall into the Northern Army.
34:59But there are also 10,000 casualties that fall from the Southern Army.
35:02This may be smaller than the number of the Northern Army,
35:04but it represents a quarter of the Southern Army.
35:06The battlefield now has 20,000 bodies.
35:08The bodies, my dear, were not one layer.
35:11They were stacked on top of each other.
35:13Each body could have been under two bodies.
35:15The historians say that you can walk on the battlefield without stepping on the ground.
35:19You just have to touch the ground and walk on the bodies.
35:21When Robert Edward Lee lost a quarter of his soldiers,
35:23he ordered his army to retreat.
35:25This is the golden opportunity, my dear.
35:28MacLennan runs after Robert,
35:30attacks his army, opens the road,
35:32and we can enter the Confederate capital, Richmond.
35:35It's easy and clear, my dear.
35:37It seems that the North is on the verge of victory.
35:39But unfortunately, my dear,
35:41it seems that MacLennan has another opinion.
35:44This is the opinion that we will know in the next episode
35:47about the American Civil War.
35:49Why are you so excited?
35:51Wait for the next episode to find out
35:53what will happen in this bloody war.
35:55See you in the next episode.

36:01In the next episode, MacLennan will do what he did not do.
36:04He is a liar and he is trying to sell.
36:06Maybe they hit him, but not now.
