Because what happens before the Civil War is just as important as the war itself, I've launched a new series of YouTube Videos that go back 165 years to 1859. This first video is a little different than what they'll be moving forward. First, it focuses on just one day. Second, there is no voice narration, just photos & texts. This will change in the very near future.
This video will talk about: Where the country stands in 1859; how President Buchanan has/is handling important matters like Dred Scott & Bleeding Kansas; an introduction to Vice President Breckinridge; where Stephen Douglas stands after his 1858 re-election to the US Senate; and new North Carolina governor J.W. Ellis & the challenges he faces.
