What Life Was Like During the Civil War Sucked

The Civil War was a difficult time for many Americans, especially those who were living in the North, but had family in the South. All of a sudden the government says they are enemies, but how could you take up arms against your family? This is what many Americans faced when taking part in the Civil War, and in today's amazing video we're going to see how 2 brothers were impacted by the crazy war between fellow Americans.

I see the narrator is trying to fit in with the time period with that accent.

"One of the reasons war is created in this world is because it is far more exciting than peaceful living here. You notice when peaceful times exist, society starts to degenerate, and then there is a big war. Everyone then gets a tremendous sense of temporary purpose and vitality. When war is finally over with terrible destruction, people enjoy peace for a few years, and then there is a new war.
Everyone talks about peace on the planet, but there are very few people who could tolerate it. There are very few people who could live in a world of peace. They are ill prepared. You have left a world of peace to come into this world. Peace is possible here, but you must prepare yourself for it. You cannot be living in conflict and hope to have a world of peace. The bullets will still fly and nations will still assault one another.
No one can tolerate peace for long because if your environment is peaceful, your anger begins to come forth. If your environment is not peaceful, you do not realize your own anger. If you were in a room with no stimulation at all, a very peaceful room with no aggravation, your own anger would come forth. You would realize that you are at war already. You are struggling against your own Knowledge. You are fighting with yourself. That is why there is not peace in the world. There is only peace to the extent that people can tolerate it. So you will not have peace in the next decade because people cannot tolerate it. If the world were without conflict, it would be like the little room with very little stimulation.
To the mind that is cultivated, the room without stimulation is a wonderful place. To the mind that is in conflict, the room without stimulation is a terrible place. To the mind that has been refined, the silence of the wilderness is a wonderful experience to be cherished. To the mind in conflict, it is an aggravation."

I have two ancestors who fought in the Civil War. One of my 3rd great grandfather is Capt. Adam Grimm, Company D of the 142nd Pennsylvania Infantry. He fought in several battles, including Gettysburg. He was wounded in battle, he was shot in his leg, on July 1st. My other ancestor is Phillip Berkebile. He was 15 hen he enlisted in early 1864. At some point he was charged with desertion but the charges were dropped. My uncle found this all out through ancestry

Coming from experience, Civil war was a very stressful game.

I'm a proud southern unionist of West Virginia. The generations of my family 1861-1865 fought for the Union....

Great granddad was the leader of the 17th West Virginia volunteer infantry....while my great uncle was a soldier in the 12th West Virginia volunteer infantry

Life in the north was actually very well, compared to life in the south due to the blockade . It was not as bad in the north as you describe it and certainly not to the point of burning all of your furniture.

This is true I’m a historian and this channel is awesome for people trying to learn about history

I love how the southern brother sounded like foghorn leghorn.

All of us know that in the 2040s we will get a notification saying that the infographics show uploaded a video about how hard was life during Coronavirus, if you agree like.

My favorite part of US history is the war that decided if I was a human or property.

An even better is when I am asked to empathize with confederate mindset that “ They’re way of life was being challenged “
As if their way of life doesn’t involve the BRUTAL exploitation of other people.

Imagine wasting time on Zoom, and on online classes, when you should be watching the Infographics Show. This is why I subbed, I love this show.

I've learned more from these video's than what I did in my 14 years of school.
