Whether South had given up the plans for expansion of slavery (Annexion Cuba, Mexico, etc) Kansas, the Civil War would have missed?

northern abolitionists lived off Slavery as much as southern planters. northern bankers made loans, northern insurance companies underwrote activities, northern textile mills bought slave cotton, northerners ate slave sugar and smoked slave Tabacco and before 1808, slave ships built and crewed by northerners transported slaves into the United States. Maybe the war happened because the guilty feeling of northern abolitionists and indignation of southern slavers at the hypocrisy of the abolitionists. And, what's crazy is that most people today are decedents of post-bellum immigrants who had nothing to do with slavery and just want to get on with life.

The biggest sugar exporter in the World about 1860 was France from SUGAR BEET! Sugar beet was produced by free French farmers and not slaves as the sugar cane. The sugar beet sugar was German invention at the end of the XVIIIth Century!

The average consumer has no idea how much of their annual purchasing power still supports slavery. The global corporate hierarchy obfuscates the actual degree to which raw materials coming from many developing nations are produced using exploited labor.

It isn't that a country dedicated to democracy is well informed. That is the essential fact-based content. An educated populous has to have both a capacity for critical thinking and an ennobling impetus to embrace the subtlety of Sensibility.

I think the speaker has found through his research has manifested some things he thought were one way may that might well have not strictly been that way. The idea that history is about interpretation is for me understood as "correlation is not necessarily causation." And with history the saying is, "history is written by the victors." History is indeed the investigation and accounting of past events, but the ability for anyone to know totally, purely, and without dispute iany subject is in actuality impossible.
