For more on the Civil War and reconstruction, I'd highly recommend this lecture series from a Yale Professor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXXp1bHd6gI&list=PL5DD220D6A1282057&ab_channel=YaleCourses My information about the Nazis and antiquity came from the book: Greeks, Romans, Germans: How the Nazis Usurped Europe's Classical Past

"Being enslaved is better than being killed, no?" I can't believe that's a sentence in a children's show.
-
Cannibalism and human sacrifice? ALWAYS BAD Death penalty? ALWAYS GOOD Slavery? ENTIRELY RELATIVE
-
Leo has blue hair and pronouns, which I thought PragerU hated.
-
We can't judge Columbus by our standards from 500 years later, but we can judge gay people by standards from 3000 years ago? Sure, that makes sense.
-
The same people who say "give me freedom or give me death" are also like "well isn't being a slave better than being killed???"
-
‘Slavery is better than death!’ There is a monument dedicated to THOSE WHO CHOSE THE SEA
-
"Being enslaved is better than being killed" Didnt slaves attempt to jump off of the ships they were being carried on, saying that death was better than torture.
-
The argument "people didn't know slavery was bad back then" always falls apart when you, even for a second, consider that the slaves were people and PROBABLY knew slavery was bad!
-
I do love the way PragerU argues you can't judge Columbus because you have to consider his culture, but then also judges all the cultures that he enslaves and discusses how they really benefited from having their culture entirely forcibly reoriented around a religion they didn't ask for.
-
My question is why did they decide to make Leo a "blue haired liberal" ?
-
'Morality is objective; good is always good, evil is always evil!' 'Slavery is evil' 'Hang on a minute, you've got to look at it in context. It's bad now, but it was ok back then. It all comes down to the subjectivity of society at any given time in history. Hope that clears things up'

"Your Honor, sure I kidnapped her and chained her up in my basement. But isn't that better than killing her? I don't see the problem."
-
"Embrace your femininity by being exactly what men want you to be!!" 💀
-
How can they dare compare owning, overworking, sexually and financially abusing, and educationally neglecting a race of people to cheating in a chess game?
-
the idea that no one had a problem with slavery is hilarious cuz who ended slavery then? they all thought it was really cool but decided it was cringe one day for no reason I guess
-
The whole "moral standard" argument with Columbus is irrelevant when the King and Queen of Spain explicitly told him not to treat the natives horribly and to leave them relatively alone, and they were horrified when they found out. They even punished him and stripped him of his titles because of his mistreatment, and in his life he never believed he found America and insisted he had reached Asia.
-
Kudos to PragerU for conveniently omitting that Columbus was arrested and deported because of his cruelty.
-
love how conservatives are like "gay ppl indoctrinate children" then do this
-
The people who made these are the same people who hate the idea of making a kids show political.
