Maybe post all this in a YT comment? Or some of it. Most of the comments criticizing RazorFist are the really stupid LINCOLN GOOD SOUTH BAD variety. He has replied to a few point-by-point refutations in the comments already. It might inspire him to make a Part 2 video.

And about the events leading up to the war...

political power reigned almost entirely within the South

a conspiracy of northern, industrialist, pro-tariff, Hamiltonians in seeking to seize power

sent troops and militants into Kansas to start an insurrection with the population because the settlers didn't want slavery in their state

a desperate attempt to permanently institutionalize slavery, even in the north, where it was illegal in many states

the Jeffersonian Republic ... was already dead by the 1850's

It sounds like instead of states with wildly different value systems vying for control of an empire, having two separate nations would have been better for both sides.
