Funny thing is I've been arguing with yankee's over the matter for years. If a yankee wants to tell me how the south was racist and cruel because it had slaves, they better be ready to hear how the Union had also used Indentured Servants who had a much shorter life expectantsy than a Slave. Likewise, as my teacher put it; "Beating a slave to death would be like taking a bat to your new Ferarie. It was a very bad idea concidering the monetary investment." Slaves in Cuba, on the otherhand, were worked to death- period. Indentured Servants, likewise, would be worked to death aswell, but that was because if a Servant paid off his debt, he would recieve a portion of his masters land.
In New Orleans, however, if a Slave could pay off his debt, his master would free him and he would be a Free Man of Color. (Oh, FYI: Never call a person of Color Black, even today. It's a very bad idea.)

Long story short; I dunno.
People forget that non-slave states also tried to succeed, including New York. He accused me of trying to "whitewash" the civil war, so I showed him how the Yankee's "Whitewashed" the civil war. Ex.:
"If I could win this war without freeing the slaves, I would."
-Abraham Lincoln.
It wasn't until midway through the war that the Union realised the best means of crippaling the south would be to Emancipate the slaves, and thereby handicap the aggricultural production of the Deep South. People also forget that the Confederacy included Mexicans, Texans, White Americans, Charekee, and Black soldiers, aswell as conscripted Slave Soldiers.

I just prefer to educate people, while others prefer to use wikipedia.
One man refuses to accept the fact that the Civil War wasn't over Slaves.

Aye, but I actually find it quite fun.
There are things I know from certain book's I've read that will baffle some people.

:P These guys tried their best to prove me wrong on things, such as who would win between Joan of Ark and William the Bastard. They finally shut up when she won for the exact reason I said she would.
One guy also tried to argue with me on whether or not Moses ever existed, let alone was a warrior, but it's hard to argue with me when I have the facts to back up what I say.

We'll see. Ironically the members who are always trying to bust my balls on shit are offering to help with future episodes. But we'll see how this goes first.

Thanks, I'll try to remember to let you know.
My biggest problem is that I hate how I sound narating it.
Granted, people will disagree with my method of doing it, I measure the weapon stats on a scail of 1 to 10, then tally the overall scores. But this is the method that ensured I correctly called all but 1 episode, and the only reason I was wrong once was because I didn't expect the British experts to forget how to properly maintain a machine gun.

Long story short; I'm the leader of a Deadliest Warrior Fan Group.
After the third season, there were concerns that there wouldn't be a fourth, so I said that if DW was canceled (because why would they cancel the #1 show on Spike tv?) I would make my own episode. Well, show was canceled, but I'm a man of my word.
I'm making a video, more of a Slide show than a video, in which I'm comparing and contrasting the Confederate Infantry against the RedCoat Grenadiers.
