We're glad you found the presentation so clear and impactful! We think you'd enjoy a similar interview we did with historian Sean Wilentz, which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/1SvafSBYEyY/видео.html
Wait, so the north was extremely racist,the Midwest was extremely racist and unquestionably the south was EXTREMELY racist... ?This is most unflattering . It must be 100% true
So….er…um…what’s your point here? Yeah, pretty much all white people were racists then, “white supremacists”, actually, believing in the superiority of the white race over others(blacks, Asians, Indians, etc), and they believed that it was based in/on “science”(as well as their own perceptions & experiences). And THAT was Lincoln’s political genius, and greatest accomplishment- how get a group of male white supremacists(the voters) in the North to join him in stopping, firstly, the spread of it, then fight a war to preserve the Union and defeat “the slave power”, and THEN agree to the Emancipation Proclamation and THEN the 13th Amendment ending slavery permanently? “The task he undertook was numbering sands and draining oceans dry…”. 🙏🇱🇷🎩
Another great one - Thank you !
Exceptionally clear presentation of the political and social consequences of slavery in the 19th century. One of the very best.
Ya, if he could get all the facts and myths separated.

Stephen Douglass was 5 feet 4 inches tall. Not sure where you got 6 feet 1 inch??
He's referring to Frederick Douglas

The paradox of the US --they were also full of many, many anti-racists such as pastors, writers, underground railroad helpers, etc.
