Frederick Douglass pointed out to President Abraham Lincoln that framing the Civil War as a fight against slavery would discourage European nations, particularly Britain and France, from supporting the Confederacy. Douglass believed that emphasizing the moral imperative of ending slavery would align with the values of those countries and diminish their willingness to intervene on behalf of the South. This strategic narrative helped solidify the Union's position and garner support from anti-slavery factions abroad.

What year was the three legged buffalo nickel cast?

The three-legged nickel was struck* at the Denver mint in 1937. The error occurred when a Mint employee tried to repair a damaged die. * Coins aren't cast, they're struck (or minted) on a coin press. Casting involves pouring molten metal into a mould and letting it harden, not a very fast way to make coins :)


Why DW Griffith's movie Birth of a Nation was so controversial?

Griffith used source material that was biased toward the Ku Klux Klan, casting them as heroes instead of villains. The film portrayed African Americans in a racist light, as well as reinterpreting the historical events in favor of southern sympathies. That said, content aside, the film is an example of the techniques of silent film at its finest. Unfortunately, it was at the service of bigoted themes.


Why was john stockwell replaced in north and south book 2?

John Stockwell was replaced in "North and South: Book II" primarily due to scheduling conflicts and the production timeline. The character of George Hazard was portrayed by actor James Read in the first miniseries, but Stockwell's involvement became complicated due to other commitments. As a result, the producers opted for a different actor to continue the role, leading to the change in casting for the sequel.
