Why Hashem created WAR

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Menachem Nissel’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

a reason why i'm starting off talking about the civil war because four years ago i was in a place called richmond virginia and norfolk virginia and i went through a mini obsession learning about the civil war talia this is the american civil war we're talking about you don't have to worry too much about it and there was a naval officer that had become from and he gave me a tour and he gave me two books to read about the civil war and about the civil war and for about a couple of months i was asking myself the same question why is it that 600 000 young men had to die for what seems to be a ridiculous cause now no one should get up and say well wait a second uh you know the north were the good guys and the south were the bad guys because the north they were like pro-black and the south were anti-black because anyone that knows their history because anyone that knows their history knows it is a very very shallow narrative and i'll prove it to you because the head of the northern armies was a fellow called ulysses grant that held a lot of black slaves and the head of the southern armies was a big sadder corruptly and he did not believe in slavery and he was fighting and leading the south and these people who are american legends and nothing to do with slavery was on their mind it was about southern pride and northern pride and the whole thing is like ridiculous because i'm british
