NOTES: This is our follow-up discussion from our interview with James Silberman. We discuss the the questions of pro-life incrementalism, keeping our targets in our sights even if we are partnering with people who do not see things the same as us, and how to jump start a Christian culture. GUEST INFORMATION: James is the Communications Director of Free the States, an abolitionist organization working to grow and guide the Abolitionist Movement as they activate and equip Christians to bring the gospel into conflict with the culture of death. James used to work for a pro-life organization, but was told he was no longer welcome there after becoming an abolitionist in 2019. James is a contributor to The Federalist and was a staff writer for The Resurgent. He is from Gig Harbor, WA and has lived in Norman, OK for the last three years. You can follow his work here: https://www.FreeTheStates.org https://www.instagram.com/free.the.states/ https://www.facebook.com/FreeTheStates https://www.youtube.com/c/FreetheStates/ OUTLINE OF OUR DISCUSSION INTRO: James made a very compelling case for Abortion Abolition. We agree with almost everything he says. Should Christians partner with other conservatives in order to end abortion, even if those people do not share the same goal of entirely abolishing abortion? The process of the church teaching people how to live in society in a Christian way seems to have broken down. We need to jumpstart the battery so that pastors do not have to be the main voices in the worlds of economics and politics. But how do we do that? It takes intentional work from pastors, individual Christians, and families.

CWRT June 2022 Meeting: Lauren Szady on "Politicians in Petticoats: The Women of the Abolitionist Movement" For More Info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG While not originally admitted to the earliest abolitionist societies, women were always an important part of the movement. Some names, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Sojourner Truth have been remembered by history as influential ladies in the anti-slavery movement, both with their words and actions. However, women from all walks of life--rich and poor, black and white, northern and southern--spoke up about this issue that started out as a male political opinion but turned into a hotly contested social matter for all. Their opinions were not without contest though. Many were seen as "stirring up trouble on the slavery issue" while others divided groups by breaking with convention. Throughout women's history, only the most vocal or "politically correct" women are remembered as having an influence but during the abolitionist movement, many women took a stand and raised their voices to help bring light to those with even less rights than they had. On June 10th, Lauren Szady will explore some of these women and how their voices changed the course of the anti-slavery movement. Lauren Szady is a museum professional with over 10-years of experience in education at several small to mid-size organizations over the course of her career. She earned a bachelor's degree with honors in Public History from DePaul University and a master's degree in Museum Studies through Johns Hopkins University. In true historian style, the earliest written evidence that Lauren has about her chosen career is from when she was in 3rd grade, announcing that she wanted to be a reenactor when she grew up.

SUMMARY: This week we want to talk about politics. Specifically, we want to talk about whether or not politics is an important issue for Christians to think about and participate in. We also want to talk about the specific issue of Abortion. We will discuss the difference between being pro-life and anti-abortion. GUEST INFORMATION: James is the Communications Director of Free the States, an abolitionist organization working to grow and guide the Abolitionist Movement as they activate and equip Christians to bring the gospel into conflict with the culture of death. James used to work for a pro-life organization, but was told he was no longer welcome there after becoming an abolitionist in 2019.

What is politics/the political process? How should Christians be involved in politics/the political process? When it comes to christians and churches getting involved in politics the biggest push back I hear is “how much time, money and energy should we commit to it?”. Some might even mean “waste” instead of commit. How do you answer that question? The political process doesn't save anyone, so why should we spend time on it? Is the abortion issue the most important political issue of our time? Why or why not? What is the difference between the pro-life position and being an abortion abolitionist? Is incrementalism here bad? (If so, why?) What kind of resistance has the abolition movement met from the pro-life movement? What are some practical things that Christians can do to help abolish abortion in America?

Chester County was home to a diverse patchwork of religious communities, antislavery activists and free Black populations, all working to end the blight of slavery during the Civil War era. Kennett Square was known as the “hotbed of abolitionism,” with more Underground Railroad stations than anywhere else in the nation. Reverend John Miller Dickey and the Hinsonville community under the leadership of James Ralston Amos and Thomas Henry Amos founded the Ashmun Institute, later renamed Lincoln University, the nation's oldest degree-granting Historically Black College and University. The county's myriad Quaker communities fostered strong abolitionist sentiment and a robust pool of activists aiding runaway slaves on their road to emancipation. Author Mark Lanyon captures the rich history of antislavery activity that transformed Chester County into a vital region in the nation's fight for freedom. During Mark Lanyon's twenty-plus-year career in behavioral health he has supervised and/or directed numerous behavioral health programs in settings such as the prison system, probation and parole, hospitals and inpatient and outpatient programs. Over the past ten years Mark has been involved with his personal genealogy research, which has resulted in his membership in a variety of societies and organizations including the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Since retiring, Mark has been able to concentrate his research on the rich history of antislavery activity in Chester County including the Underground Railroad, the Abolitionist Movement, and the founding of Lincoln University.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary, born in Delaware in 1823, was a teacher, a writer, an abolitionist, a suffragist, and a lawyer, and is considered to be the first Black woman to publish and edit a newspaper in North America, The Provincial Freeman. When abolitionist Frederick Douglass asked readers of his newspaper in 1848 for suggestions on how to improve life for African Americans, Shadd Cary answered: “We should do more and talk less,” and she spent her life following that motto in both the United States and in Canada, despite the challenges she faced both as an African American and as a woman. To help us understand more, I'm joined by Dr. Jane Rhodes and Dr. Kristin Moriah. Dr. Rhodes is a Professor of Black Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago and author of Mary Ann Shadd Cary: The Black Press and Protest in the Nineteenth Century.

The Fundamental Principle of a Republic, by Anna Howard Shaw

Allebest: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Today's text is the speech, “The Fundamental Principle of a Republic” by Anna Howard Shaw, given in New York in 1915. Shaw argues that the fundamental principle of a republic is that its citizens get to participate in civic life, and that in denying women the right to vote, America falls short of its democratic values. As listeners might recall from our episode on the Seneca Falls Convention, the women's suffrage movement had officially begun in 1848, which means that at the point that this speech was given, women had been fighting for the right to vote for 67 years!! Can you imagine how frustrating?? Why was it taking so long? What arguments were being made against women's suffrage, that were convincing American men and American women that women should not have the right to vote? Anna Howard Shaw's oration addresses exactly those anti-suffrage arguments. This speech is included on many lists of the 50 best speeches of the entire 20th Century, and sure enough when I read it I was blown away… not only by its power, but also by its humor! Anna Howard Shaw was funny! But before we get to the speech, I want to introduce my reading partner, Amy Osmond Cook. Amy and I were neighbors and running buddies several years ago in Southern California, and we crammed years' worth of deep discussion into the year that we lived in the same neighborhood. Also, fun fact: as you may have guessed from her maiden name, Amy is the niece of Donny and Marie Osmond. She's way too humble to name-drop like that, so I'm going to do it for her. :) And we discovered after meeting that we know tons of the same people, including discovering after we had been friends for months, that my cousin is married to her sister! Amy, I absolutely adored you from the first moment I met you and I am so grateful that you agreed to do this project with me! Thanks so much for being here. Cook: Amy, the feeling is just so mutual. Allebest: So before we start, could you tell us a little about yourself? Where you grew up and what made you the person you are today. Cook: Bio Ancestors from Born and raised in Family of origin Religion Education: undergrad PhD dissertation Career Current family Hobbies/favorite things Allebest: Thanks so much! And the other question I like to ask is what interested you in Breaking Down Patriarchy. Cook: Interest in the project Allebest: Thanks, Amy. Ok, so in preparation for discussing this text, we need to set the stage a bit by explaining the women's suffrage movement and Anna Howard Shaw. Allebest and Cook take turns: Allebest: As a way of orienting us, here are a few highlights from a Women's Suffrage Timeline, as found on the website of The National Women's History Museum. We'll take turns reading some important dates just so we have an understanding of what happened when. 1850 Worcester, Massachusetts, is the site of the first National Women's Rights Convention. Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone and Sojourner Truth are in attendance. A strong alliance is formed between the Women's Rights Movement and the Abolitionist Movement (and actually, as we learned in other episodes, those two movements were allied from the very beginning - the women's movement grew directly out of the Abolition movement) 1861-1865 During the Civil War, efforts for the suffrage movement come to a halt. Women put their energies toward the war effort. 1866 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony form the American Equal Rights Association, an organization dedicated to the goal of suffrage for all, regardless of gender or race. 1868 Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Parker Pillsbury publish the first edition of The Revolution. This periodical carries the motto “Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less!” Senator S.C.

John Brown Today

In this episode, Lou discusses the hostile book about John Brown by the late scholar, Otto Scott, The Secret Six: John Brown and the Abolitionist Movement. Scott was a skillful researcher and writer who devoted his life to working for the corporate world, but contributed heavily to racist, right-wing, and white nationalist Christians. His work on Brown is a screed, a work of propaganda that is based on discredited sources and fashioned to suit the agenda of racists and neo-Confederates, but still circulates among conservatives today, especially Christian Reconstructionists and romancers of the so-called Confederate past. Scott considered Brown a "fool" among several other historical figures he considered despicable, and blamed him as one of a number of historical figures who essentially ruined the present.

Olaudah Equiano's autobiography The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano was one of the very first slave narratives that spawned a popular literary genre. However, while relatively famous in the 18th century, his legacy was largely forgotten in the UK until the 1960s when there was a resurgence of interest in his life. How could such a prominent figure be all but forgotten while their contribution to the abolition movement be supplanted by his white contemporaries such as William Wilberforce and Granville Sharp?To find out more Dr Fern Riddell speaks to co-founder of The Windrush Foundation and The Equiano Society Arthur Torrington CBE and historian, author and broadcaster Professor Gretchen Gerzina.Sponsored by Ancestry, Sky HISTORY's Not What You Thought You Knew is presented by Dr Fern Riddell, produced by Kim Sergeant, Peter Ross, research by Mary Nzeh, and series produced by Sam Pearson.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Furious Friday Edition. Today is an interesting episode - Central Banks and Wars – Often wouldn’t think of these two together – What is the purpose of a central bank? Financial stability, a lender of last resort, to smooth out the cycle of boom and bust? Not their original purpose – Why did nations first start central banks? To finance the material needs of the nation-state in times of war Central banks ramped up the funding capacity of wars – the long-term costs could be covered Britain had shown that its central bank chartered in the 1690s was necessary to finance a crown bent on war France too, under the revolutionaries and Napoleon, had set up their institution to ease the way for aggressive war credits. Central banks came into force early – Older nations like Germany - 1872, France – 1800, England – 1690 – ramped up after 1900s many more coming online USA – Federal reserve 1913 in USA, Swiss – Swiss National Bank 1906, Russian – 1922 – The Gosbank First – In society, we carry a conviction that a central bank must be separated from Governments - Removed the chances of moral hazard – The reasoning is that you don’t want a Government given the ability to have an open printing press when a populations demands are endless – why greater levels of socialist spending can and has bankrupted countries But what difference does it make when Governments are the owner of most Central Banks? Leaders of Governments have control who works there – Reasoning is clear - can a Government manage its affairs in the country without having control of its own money? Not well – Society would still function – but Governments would lose the ability to tax and then exist – If we were allowed to use anything for trade, no tax would be paid – so it is illegal to conduct any business in another currency, unless you do BTC but still pay tax when converted into AUS/currency – the control over the currency is the catch all But some Central Banks are privately owned – not by Governments – nobody really knows who owns them – Done big series on FED but this, as well as Italy – have private ownership - To be clear – In a lot of countries Governments and central banks are separated by decree, and are either owned by the Governments themselves Or by unknown private group of companies/groups/individuals He who controls the money controls a nation – Structure of the FED – shares of the New York FED, the primary bank, are owned by the regional FED banks Nobody is permitted to know the true beneficial owners of the regional FEDs The FED is free of necessity to publish accounts or to reveal the many trillions in profits it has collected from the public purse Going back to the founding of the FED does give clues to who the owners are - First- it was created by illegal legislation in 1913 - giving full control of the US money supply and credit = entire economy is a violation of the very Constitution of the United States Made The US government cannot subservient to a group of private bankers - if the government needs money – has to borrow from the FED and repay it with interest Ultimate beneficial owners of the US Federal Reserve Central Banks have been reliably documented as follows: Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin, Warburg Banks of Hamburg and Amsterdam, Lazard Brothers of Paris, Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York, Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy, Goldman Sachs and the Chase Manhattan Bank. With Private Central Banks – impossible to have a free market – or with any Central Bank controlling the price of money It was a group of bankers at Jekyll Island who concocted the plan for the FED system – passed by Congress while most members were away on Christmas vacation – Signed in by Woodrow Wilson – he turned over control of both the US currency and the economy to banking interests - an act which even Wilson recognised: “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. The growth of the nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world… by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” Others like Congressman Charles Lindbergh - “When the President signs this Bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized. The greatest crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill” But this wasn’t really anything new – just on a more massive scale – FDR - “The real truth … is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson” Rothschilds and other European bankers listed previously been very involved in the US financial system since the formation of the Republic – and aligns up with each onset of economic turmoil and wars – run through turmoils in another ep – But back to war - A lot of these are really summarised for time – But please do research further if you are interested – lot of information available – Formation of the US republic - Irony is that America fought their war of independence due to a Central Bank – Bank of England – which just a over a hundred years before in 1776 The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency Act Forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest – Interest is another form of taxation when it is on trade and goods produced – other reasons like the Naturalisation Act and restriction on inland migration – either way, 13 independent colonies teamed up and took on the English Empire – conducting a conspiracy in the process they would be killed for if caught After the revolution - the new United States adopted a radically different economic system in which the government issued its own value-based money Stopped private banks like the Bank of England (only went public in 1998) from siphoning off the wealth of the people through interest-bearing bank notes – bankers didn’t like that and had the US in their sights First incarnation of the FED in 1791 – Just one year after Mayer Rothschild stated "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws" called the Bank of the United States – privately owned Done largely through the efforts of the Rothschild's chief US supporter, Alexander Hamilton Was supposed to do the opposite of financing war - extinguish the debt from the war already fought then end Was only passed with a 20-year charter to expire in 1811 – and with public sentiment against this bank the charter was going to be revoked – so a crisis was needed to justify the charter being renewed Solution – Britain and EU bankers funded and supplied arms to American Indians who raided American settlers on the frontier, hindering American expansion and provoking resentment. Started the war of 1812 - The government found it impossible to pay for the war through current resources, in the emergency printing money that bore interest. After that war ended in 1815 - the nation in a climate of fear and economic hardship, the Rothschilds managed to have the bank’s charter renewed for another 20 years – But in 1836 not renewed Again, annoyed the bankers American Civil War – Reading on google the leading cause of the war was the Abolitionist Movement – which is incredibly noble cause But reading firsthand accounts from back in 1860 it seems like this was the issue used for War – similar to WMDs and Iraq Decent amount of evidence that the severe divisions leading to the American civil war were deliberately inflicted upon the US by these same bankers – plan was “to exploit the question of slavery and thus to dig an abyss between the two parts of the Republic” – which already were at each other’s throats politically after Lincolns election Germany’s Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck claimed the European bankers were responsible for the American Civil War, stating “The division of the United States was decided by the high financial powers of Europe”, Jan van Helsing wrote “The reasons leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the Rothschild agents”, one of whom was George Bickly who persuaded the Confederate States of the advantages of secession from the Union In a rational world – slavery would have been abolished without a war – the tide was turning – England - Slavery Abolition Act in 1833 abolished slavery – But 620,000 US citizens died – 2% of the population – the equivalent of 520k Aus dying in a war During, prior, and after the Civil War (1861-65), the U.S. decided to try going without a central bank – Thanks to Lincoln’s greenbacks – they did okay – so he had to be killed Back to the FED – Tensions were rising in Europe in the 1890s – Everyone knew that a war was going to break out between major powers at some point – Bankers wanted a central bank back in USA – hence the FED - The difference now was that there was no expiration date unlike the previous 20 year charters - Allan H. Meltzer, the official Fed historian stated that the founders of the Fed, such as they were, did not intend to create “a permanent institution” – they simply forgot to put in a used by date As opposed to other Central banks later created – the FED is still private – It be any accident that the U.S., very contrary to its previous history, has been oft at war since 1917? World War II, Korea, Vietnam (1959-1975), Gulf, Afghanistan (2001-), Iraq, Yemen, and Syria – probably missing a few Comparing the frequency of war – Major Wars since 1900 – Most would think WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, maybe a handful more - With the state of the News Cycle they go by in a section and forgotten about – especially if your nation is the invading force or should have no business intervening Time of wars – compare two periods – Pre-FED to Post-FED – wars started between periods 1900 to 1916 – the capacity of spending and technology were different Capacity much smaller – technology very similar – each had their own benefits – Germans had most of the best equipment Tiger II tanks were far better than Americans – it was just the superiority in numbers the industrial scale of US production had – one Tiger could take on a much larger bunch of tanks How that changed – now the US is the largest military empire known to man – far surpassed the Roman Empire1900 to 1916 – the capacity of spending and technology were different 2003 to now – average time of war went up by a factor of 3 39 wars still ongoing so that average is likely to rise further – as expansion of Central banks gives unlimited funding for wars Summary – US military empire started in 1913 – funding capacity for war and changed from domestic conflicts to global 800 military bases in more than 70 countries None of this would have been possible without printing press of Fed – which is a private group owned by bankers Next Ep – Modern Financial wars – Examples of funding both sides along with using Central and Private Banks to destroy other nations economies Thank you for listening, if you want to get in contact you can here: https://financeandfury.com.au/contact/

Interview with RAM-NYC This week we spoke with members of The Base, which is an anarchist space in New York City, about the newly formed Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement NYC Community Bail Fund. In this episode we talk about the concept of bail and its origins, what folks have happen to them from the moment of arrest to the moment bail is set, what it means to have an explicitly abolitionist bail fund, the intricacies of the corporate bail bond system, and many many other topics! We end with a surprise follow up question to our previous interview about Burn Down the American Plantation, a text which our guests authored and put out earlier in 2017. To hear that previous interview, you can go to our blogpost about it and listen for free! To support this initiative and for more information, you can go to fundedjustice.com. To connect with our guests, you can email them at revolutionaryabolitionistmovement@protonmail.com or search that name on any of the social media platforms commonly in use (Twitter: @RevAbolitionNYC , Facebook: RevAbolitionistNYC ) Further reading on our current bail system is as follows: From the New York Times From The Nation Announcements It was announced today that members of Hudson Valley Earth First! is in the second day of a tree-sit to stop the Valley Lateral Pipeline in Wawayanda, New York. From their press release: On December 8th, 2017, Millennium Pipeline Company started clearing trees for the Valley Lateral Pipeline, which would connect fracked natural gas from the existing Millennium Pipeline to the scandal-ridden, toxic Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) Power Plant. Courts and government will never protect the land, but these brave beings have put their lives on the line to save endangered species and sacred wilderness. Day 2: We have a direct update from one of our treesitters: "Cut trees leading toward wetlands and eagles nest and to wetlands and farm fields and forests where I hear cutting. Pretty quiet where I am. Swaying in the breeze a bit this morning. Trying to keep snow from getting in warm bags and that's working well. This fight is only beginning and this is the first known actual treesit in the Hudson valley ever. We need more affinity groups willing to take action against these projects and their world. CPV. Millennium. Legoland and that which destroys this bioregion. Minisink Lenape indigenous land." For More Updates and Photos Hudson Valley Earth First! Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/HVEarthFirst/ If this 7.8 mile pipeline is completed, it would run through ecosystems which contain, and have the potential to contain, endangered species such as the Bald Eagle(a mating pair is known to live 30 feet from the right-of-way), the Indiana Bat, and the Bog Turtle. Additionally, if the CPV plant is fueled, the pollution from the plant release tons of chemicals known to increase cancer and asthma rates in nearby areas. This pipeline is the bottleneck to stopping this plant. Aides to Gov. Cuomo and CPV executives go to trial in January over a bribery scandal. Also, if the pipeline is stopped before August 2018, the CPV plant will likely go bankrupt and this beautiful bioregion will be spared from further ecological destruction. After nearly 6 years of fighting this project, we are running out of options. Tree sits are a form of aerial blockade where individuals rig themselves in trees or sit on a small platforms hoisted into trees to prevent the cutting of that tree. Additionally the rigging of the treesitter's platform can be attached to other trees to protect an entire area of forest. This tactic relies upon the unwillingness of a logger/company to take human life in the pursuit of economic enterprise, like the building of an unnecessary and polluting pipeline. Tree sits can be long term endeavors, and Hudson Valley Earth First! is prepared to stay in the trees as long as it takes to protect the wild!! Asheville Area If you're in the Asheville area, stay tuned the next two weeks during Words To Live By at 1pm on 103.3 wsfm-lp, before The Final Straw, where we will air radio shows from the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts and radios, of which we are a proud member.

Also in Asheville, at 7pm at the County Jail on New Years Eve there will be a noise demonstration against the current jail, against the proposed new women's facility and for a world without incarceration. If you bring noisemakers and signs, it's hoped that participants can get the attention of folks on the outside to the failure of the carceral state to bring justice, only the immiseration of marginalized individuals and their communities while lining the pockets of the state and capital.

Solecast 45 is a conversation with folks from the Base in Brooklyn about The Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement. From their text: The Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement is a political movement dedicated to freeing people from bondage and building resistance in the United States. We situate our political movement in the context of the abolitionist struggle against slavery and continue in the tradition, from Nat Turner to the Black Liberation Movement. We believe the Civil War was never resolved and the system of slavery transitioned into the prison industrial complex. Our struggle today must begin from this starting point. Lastly, as revolutionary anarchists, the abolitionist struggle must be extended to the state and capitalism, the perpetrators of oppression. The revolutionary movement in the US today is at a cross roads, as fascist movements are expanding, and the state becomes increasingly authoritarian. The Rojava Revolution, in northern Syria, provides us with a model for revolution today with its foundation in communal and council based political organization and militant defense. Download the .Pdf here or buy the book here. We talk about the limitations of protest and the need to move beyond it. We discuss the importance of explicitly radical anarchist education and physical spaces in social movements. We mostly talk about the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement and the analysis behind it. R.A.M. pulls together various threads of history and social movements to put forth a framework for collective liberation. They link the foundation of the Americas, the expansion of capitalism, slavery, genocide , points to this historical moment and the struggles since then and shows that in order to truly have a revolutionary politics we must focus on abolishing the prison system, capitalism, patriarchy, and the state.

Like the abolitionists of old, Kendall Altmyer uses jewelry to tell a story about slavery and the value of every human life. Kendall is the founder of The Penny Story, where pennies are worn to represent victims of human trafficking and donate money to the movement to abolish slavery in the 21st century. Listen in as Gabrielle and Kendall discuss: — Why just praying isn't enough and faith requires action — How to become an accidental leader and start movements — What to do with your crazy idea — How to reject self-doubt and become all that God has for you.

In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters

This week at In The Past Lane, the American history podcast, we focus on the movement to abolish slavery. We start with a thinkpiece titled, "The Daunting Challenge the Abolitionists Faced in Taking on Slavery." Abolitionism is one of the most remarkable movements in United States history. And yet, few Americans can name more than one or two abolitionists – maybe William Lloyd Garrison, or Frederick Douglass, or Sojourner Truth. Why is that? And why is it also true that few people remember any key events of the abolitionist movement? Why do we remember only one bare fact: that the abolitionists ultimately won their struggle?The main reason, is that to people living in the 21st-century, slavery is so self-evidently wrong and evil, they can’t imagine the abolitionist movement failing. But this sense that abolitionists were destined to succeed because they were right is not only false – slavery might have lasted many more decades – but it also serves to undermine and diminish the extraordinary efforts of the men and women who fought against incredible odds to end slavery. What do I mean by incredible odds? Well, you'll have to listen to this segment and to my interview with Historian Manisha Sinha about her new book, "The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition." It’s a masterful, far-reaching new interpretation of the movement to abolish slavery. Finally, we end this episode with a History Heads Up with historian Stephanie Yuhl (history-related events to keep an eye out for) and some fun with the upcoming President's Day holiday.

Nice to see you back here for another episode of Bad History! During this week's epsiode we decided to focus on Harriot Tubmen and Fredrick Douglas; two important leaders in the Anti-Slavery movement. While these two figures are widely known, so much of what the did and accomplished is not heard by most people. We hope to fix that by explaining what they did and why it is still important even today. We hope you enjoy!
