What do you know about the Civil War? Everyone knows the familiar images: soldiers in Union blue versus troops in Confederate gray, the Emancipation Proclama...
Didn’t think this was leftwing enough. The Civil War was between the northern bourgeoisie, which saw wage labor as (ironically) more profitable than slavery, since the north was far more developed than the south; and a pseudo-feudal southern aristocracy. I tuned out with the Andrew Jackson $20 bill, which didn’t exist until after the Civil War.
i think it’s a good gateway to get into leftist politics, but nothing super based. the graphic i think was to just show that andrew jackson was a villain, not implying historical context of the $20 bill
