Octatonic posted:I feel like we are now starting to enter the period of US history I know the least about. Like, the civil war, I get, the 20th century, I get, but the politics of this period and its actors seem kind of alien to me. It's such a completely different country in the early 19th century -- expansionist and vulnerable (and genocidal), but not yet a major player in regional or world affairs. What really is the point that the US stops being a wayward British colony, and starts being its own thing on the world stage? Did it happen at all before the (end of the) First World War? this might just be because the ACW is the period i know the most about but I feel the conclusion of the civil war did it. industrialization was kicking off (during a massive war no less), we had inaugurated the age of iron warships and with the south conquered we brow beat Napoleon the 3rd out of Mexico

Platystemon posted:I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the Russian fleet in San Francisco didn’t do much to help the blockade. Maybe we should take another look at their ulterior motives. there was actually a confederate raider that made its way up to Alaska and captured a decent chunk of the American whaling fleet

Grant wasn't corrupt himself and cracked down hard on corruption in his administration when it was found (except for the one time he perjuried himself at his secretary's trial whoops). he just picked really lovely people as friends and after his death, lost cause-ism set out to wreck his reputation

SpRahl posted:McClellan also had a bad habit of believing the rebel army was always ten times bigger than his own. Some of the numbers he threw around for Confederate troop strengths were mind boggling. to be ever so slightly fair to him, pinkerton (yes that pinkerton) also deserves some of the blame with his shitass spy network
