  The years leading up to the civil war really quite honestly is more important to learn about than the actual war itself.

  It’s incredible how fragile the balance between free and slave states really was.

  Also, this piece states that they at the beginning of the war the Noth had a pop. of around 22 million and the South had 9 million. What the author did not state was that 4 million of the South&apos;s 9 million were slaves, so basically the South had 5 million against approx 20 million for the North. Just sayin&apos;.

  I learned more from this short video than a year of high school US history.

  As an ex-pat Brit living in New Zealand, most of this was a revelation for me. &nbsp;It was not a subject covered in UK schools when I was a lad. &nbsp;Incredibly interesting.

  Excellent historical breakdown—clear storytelling, strong context, and an engaging explanation of the events that gradually led America toward civil war.

  Finally a format in which I could digest it all in one sitting instead of splashes of history, never a beginning to end. Thanks!
