@KiamKweli there's a book about this called "They were here property." Those chicks were alot of times worst than white men when it came to harming black people.
Bravo GG. This eloquent woman makes listening to this complex war oddly pleasing. She's delivers the quotes effortlessly. It demonstrates just how close this time period is in relation to Time. This is indeed the beauty of History.
GG, The part of the mistress controlling the male slaves while the white men was gone and crying about the black men not listening. Damn they loved their position and statuse as head matriarch.
GG, you scored BIG with this one. I’m a big fan of Dr. Field. Her insights that added to Burns’s The Civil War is invaluable. Thank you so much for posting this.
@@omalone1169 Of course it's not. But apparently it wanted to be part of one at one time. Isn't that what the problem was? That it acted like one? Wasn't that one of the reasons for the so called, "Civil War"?
It’s interesting she juxtaposes the role of Black men in the army as being given institutional power with the vulnerability of dependents, while not speaking to the reality that Black troops were likely to die by both enemy combatants and “friendly” fire.
This woman is beautiful, literally. It's refreshing to hear a history where the input of Black men was centered, and not rendered to oblivion by an agenda. Seems like the questioners tried to.
When Ms Fields is speaking of her favorite general Benjamin Butler , I cant help but think of how her words could possibly refer to Trump 2024: "He was an SOB, An opportunist, a showoff, a man you would think of rather small ideas. And that in a way makes him a perfect example of how a situation that demands higher stature will sometimes call it forth from people you least expect to expand to that stature." @43:14 If Agent Orange were to make it back into office, Wouldn't it be something if he was the guy to write the executive orders for an Anti-Black Crime bill and Got reparations going to FBAs?🤔
Let’s have grace for Nigerians & Black Americans (ADOS), because Europe fought each other over land for hundreds of years. And the two greatest wars of all time WW1 “war to end all wars,” & WW2 “the great patriotic war.”
GG I often told folks that Kevin Samuels was doing the Lord’s work. You, BGS, Nameless, Dr. Johnson, and all the others are doing the same. 🫡💐🤲🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
I LOVE the history of the civil war. It’s so complex. It really tells the story of how jacked up our history is in America.
20:38 "There was no greater enemy than the slave holding women of the south..."
Who rarely are discussed in this conversation. They always act like women didn't personally benefit from slavery.

There is such a calming, confident grace to the way she communicates

17:00 who is Benjamin Butler
She was amazing in Ken Burns' 1990 Civil War docu-series. Thank you so much for uploading!!

Sounds familiar? It's similar to how they act on the job in a position of power.
“As far as the black troops were concerned, there was no greater enemy than the slaveholding women of the South.” - Barbara Fields
Barbara Fields is one of our best scholars. Who handled this interview and questions with an expertise rarely seen today.
Good share. Her work is solid. 💯
Bravo !!! The civil war still is fought and therefore can still be lost !! Amen

That Woman was like an Encyclopedia. This was a great one GG. Much appreciated Brotha.
19:00 Virginia is a foreign country ?
@@omalone1169 Of course it's not. But apparently it wanted to be part of one at one time. Isn't that what the problem was? That it acted like one? Wasn't that one of the reasons for the so called, "Civil War"?
Thank you for sharing!
I love her
Very Important piece of information, Salute 🫡 GG.
💯
What a beautiful woman, Thanks GG !!!!
Stop objectifying her
@omalone1169 wrong.
Her tone is soothing
Thanks! Very informative. Ty.
It’s interesting she juxtaposes the role of Black men in the army as being given institutional power with the vulnerability of dependents, while not speaking to the reality that Black troops were likely to die by both enemy combatants and “friendly” fire.
1:15:00 fighting over narrow definitions
Good stuff, GG...
This woman is beautiful, literally. It's refreshing to hear a history where the input of Black men was centered, and not rendered to oblivion by an agenda. Seems like the questioners tried to.
She certainly was in her day.
Thank you for the history lesson on a Civil War
🤔Clair Huxtable. . .☝🏾in real life. 10:24 As elegant as she is. . .don't get it confused
GG, is there a past commentary where you referenced why youve introduced/spotlighted Ms.Fields interviews.
When Ms Fields is speaking of her favorite general Benjamin Butler ,
I cant help but think of how her words could possibly refer to Trump 2024:
"He was an SOB, An opportunist,
a showoff, a man you would think of rather small ideas. And that in a way makes him a perfect example
of how a situation that demands higher stature will sometimes call it forth from people you least expect
to expand to that stature."
@43:14
If Agent Orange were to make it back into office, Wouldn't it be something if he was the guy to write the executive orders
for an Anti-Black Crime bill and Got reparations going to FBAs?🤔
What? You clearly haven't watched Fields and Adolph Reed completely dismiss reparations as even a practical utopianism
Good looking @GG
Let’s have grace for Nigerians & Black Americans (ADOS), because Europe fought each other over land for hundreds of years. And the two greatest wars of all time WW1 “war to end all wars,” & WW2 “the great patriotic war.”
What??
GG I often told folks that Kevin Samuels was doing the Lord’s work.
You, BGS, Nameless, Dr. Johnson, and all the others are doing the same.
