Here's a nice condensed version for people who don't have enough of an attention span...

 

 

And here's some outtakes:

Wait, is that Bob Murphy playing the zombie?  I've seen those videos before, but if that's him I'm just now realizing it!

While the interview itself is excellent I have to say Bob Murphy (which is otherwise extremely entertaining in this role) looks more than the bastard child of a panda and Peter Criss of KISS fame than a honest to God zombie.

well I'm not saying anything absolute but I have a suspicison that the north was definitely wrong and that this gave the south a kind of default goodness.

 

That's because it seems like a disproportionate response to either fight a war over the south bombarding fort sumter or to fight a war over the institution of chattel slavery, when it seems perfectly possible to simply reform slavery.

Reform slavery???

The confederate states wrote slavery into thier constitution.

Reform was not in the near future...

I don't have the numbers, but it seems like there may have been much less damage and bloodloss if the North had indeed bought the slaves of the South. Of course, neither side could actually know the casualties and costs before beginning, so...

personally, I just thought that it was possible that a southern legislature in the future would write a law to say outlaw whippings or to make it easier for a black person to negotiate to leave.

That's what I mean by "reform".

May I present a far more civil and thus less likely alternative to war:

Man that confederate flag really looks bad on Paul. Its these things that are going to not favor him. I guess he was trying to appeal to anyone really anyone in the past with his message but now that he has become a national figure something he didn't see it happening it just doesnt reflect well on him.

Slavery was also written into the US Constitution - and was still there when the so-called "Civil War" started. Furthermore, some states on the Union side still allowed slavery - and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation didn't declare slaves in those states to be free.
