In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the life and legacy of Wentworth Cheswell, the first African American elected to public office in the United States and a Revolutionary War patriot. Often called New Hampshire's Paul Revere, Cheswell made a daring midnight ride to warn of British troop movements, served his community with distinction, and left behind a powerful legacy of courage, leadership, and civic duty. This episode shines a light on one of America's forgotten heroes, whose story deserves recognition alongside the nation's most celebrated Founding figures. Episode Highlights Discover how Wentworth Cheswell became the first African American elected to public office in 1768. Relive his midnight ride during the American Revolution and why it was pivotal to the patriot cause. Understand Cheswell's long-lasting impact on local government, civic leadership, and America's founding ideals.

For over a century, the U.S. ruling class has waged war on communists, anarchists, and radicals. From the Palmer Raids of 1919 to McCarthyism in the 1950s, from COINTELPRO in the Cold War to today's MAGA rhetoric about “woke communists" and his crackdown on "Antifa Radicals", state repression has always sought to crush revolutionary politics before they could take root; especially in times of capitalist crisis.  In this episode, historian Aaron J. Leonard joins us to discuss his new book Menace of Our Time: The Long War Against American Communism. We trace how the U.S. developed its arsenal of anti-radical laws and FBI surveillance programs, and how these were deployed against generations of activists, workers, and organizers. We talk about the Communist Party USA's early growth, its leaders like William Z. Foster and Earl Browder, and its contradictory relationship with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who both advanced social reforms hated by capitalists and cracked down on communists in his time. Leonard explains how McCarthyism and COINTELPRO not only repressed communists but created a climate where the majority of Americans came to accept mass violations of civil liberties in the name of anti-communism.  As Trump and the far right recycle the language of anti-communism to justify repression in 2025, Leonard argues that knowing this history is not just an academic exercise -- it's a weapon for the struggles ahead. ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/ Outro Beat Prod. by flip da hood

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Center for Public Schools' Alisha Searcy interview Randall Woods, John A. Cooper Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Arkansas, and author of John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People. Prof. Woods shares the life and career of American statesman John Quincy Adams, the “first son of the Republic,” whose upbringing in the household of John and Abigail Adams shaped his lifelong devotion to public service. He reflects on Adams's early diplomatic triumphs, including the Treaty of Ghent and the Monroe Doctrine, as well as the 1824 election that resulted in him becoming the sixth U.S. President. Prof. Woods describes the highlights of Adams's congressional career—his leadership in overturning the “gag rule” on antislavery petitions and his powerful U.S. Supreme Court defense of the Amistad Africans' revolt at sea — before turning to the significance of his voluminous diaries in guiding future generations of the Adams family and American public servants. Woods concludes the interview by reading a favorite passage from his biography, John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People.

This week, we deep dive into Pastor Robert Shinn, his Shekinah Church, and his management company 7M Films - and examine how a modern cult has (allegedly) exploited TikTok dancers, financially abusing them, sexually abused them and other members, while also possibly being connected to the very popular and scary Seven Mountains Mandate that currently has strong Whitehouse connections. While this cult is scary, a brewing American attempt at a theocracy is the most disturbing part of this week's information-heavy episode for me.  Hail Nimrod! Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

The American Civil War and the end of slavery in the US may seem like one and the same from our modern perspective, but for those living through the conflict, the abolition of human bondage was anything but certain. Even into the last days of the war, slave traders in Confederate-held cities continued to auction off human beings, realizing handsome profits as they imposed violence and family separation on their subjects.   In his new book, An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South, Robert K.D. Colby brings together a wide variety of sources to offer up a never-before seen look into the slave trade during the American Civil War. In this episode, he joins Ben and guest co-host Tim Talbott to explain how the slave trade evolved, why slave traders remained confident in the future of slavery even during the Civil War, and how the combined trauma of slavery and war impacted enslaved Americans long after their freedom had been secured.   Robert K.D. Colby is Assistant Professor of History at Ole Miss who specializes in the Civil War and the history of slavery. His newest book, An Unholy Traffic was published by Oxford University Press in April 2024 and is available in both print and audiobook.   Tim Talbott is the Chief Administrative Officer for the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust in Fredericksburg, Virginia and founding member and President of the Battle of New Market Heights Memorial and Education Association. Tim holds a MA in Public History from Appalachian State University, where Ben had the great fortune to study alongside him.   Relevant Links: ·      The Smithsonian Digital Volunteers Transcription Center website ·      RTN Episode 270: Women & American Slavery w/ Stephanie E.

Before we go back to 2018 for a discussion of the only Cubs general manager who was moonlighting from his job at the fish-market and a non-baseball tale, one of the more obscure and unflattering episodes of America's westward expansion, we discuss our need for a shared reality and one of the earliest conspiracy theories. How are you going to be here with us if you believe that we're being controlled by them?  The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Why has it become harder for differing views to have a conversation about those views that does not devolve into name calling, personal attacks and yelling? We have all witnessed it in our circle of family and friends.  We should not have to live like this especially when that disagreement turns violent and lives are lost.  At Constituting America, we have promoted the idea of civil discourse for years and want to see more of it in the public sphere.  But how can we make that happen?  To have an open and frank conversation, we are honored to welcome Joel Del Rosario to our chat this week.  Joel is a speaker, success coach, strategist and Turning Point USA Ambassador.

And next week to the west, because as I researched incidents of high strangeness on Florida's space coast, I found a geolocation full of weirdness in California's space pocket, and yes, I DID make that nickname up. The location in California is north of Santa Barbara, west of La Purisma Mission and near a famous spot for split pea soup. But, enough about NEXT week!This week, our journey takes us the east coast of Florida, best known as the site of rocket launches and a space shuttle tragedy. There's more to this stretch of land than the soft sands and salty blue waters and space travel.It's a place of a race-fueled double murder, a water-logged ancient cemetery that is rewriting how we think of prehistoric people, and much more. Let's get into it!What to Watch, Read or Listen to NEXT:Documentary, Harry T Moore (and Harriette Moore), BlackCatMedia, YouTube (take five minutes to watch this important documentary, then please share it with others)Windover: Prehistoric Past Revealed at Pond Cemetery, Lesleyanne Drake, Orange County Regional History CenterTitusville's Great Fire of 1895, SpaceCoastDaily.comVoices of the Past, Dr. Glen H.

Today we wrap up our discussion on checks and balances with special guest Dr. Susan McWilliams.  In this concluding episode, Dr. McWilliams takes us back to our founding and explains why the founders created a system of separation of powers and checks and balances, dividing power between the branches, with mechanisms for the branches to check each other. The Founders recognized the need and virtue in ambition but also its potential path to tyranny, so they prioritized protecting natural rights in order to keep us free.  Join us as Dr. Susan McWilliams walks us through this enlightening discussion!

In Episode 138, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield turn their gaze to one of the most iconic, yet tragic couples of the 90s, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. The two, along with her sister, died unexpedtedly in a plane crash off of Martha's Vineyard on July 16th, 1999.   First, we explore John's chart, beginning with a fascinating North Node conjunct his Virgo Rising—indicating his measured public persona was a key balancing act for past-life chaos. With Pluto also in the mix, themes of power, control, and shared resources were deeply woven into his identity. A Venus in Capricorn suggests he sought a legacy in love and often dealt with restrictions in relationships, while a cold Moon conjunct Chiron in Aquarius points to a lack of warm familial feelings and a profoundly complicated relationship with his mother.   Carolyn's chart carries its own Aquarian theme, with her Rising sign conjunct both Venus and Mars, cementing her status as a progressive trendsetter and fashion icon who paradoxically shunned the spotlight. Her Capricorn Sun and Cancer Moon reveal she was born during a full moon phase, demonstrating a constrast of reserved, cautious, and a intensely hardworking nature as well as emotional sensitivity and depth. With Neptune trine her Moon and Saturn in Pisces, she is revealed as a master escape artist.   Together, their synastry tells a compelling and complex story: his Sun conjunct her South Node created an instant sense of familiarity and destiny, while a Venus-Sun conjunction fueled their magnetic attraction and mutual adoration. However, a Mercury square to Venus and Mars created tension between words and actions, fostering a dynamic of secrecy versus vulnerability. With notably challenging aspects, just how difficult was this relationship? Tune in to get the final Venus compatibility score and our complete analysis!   Book a Reading with us!

Looking ahead to the 250th anniversary of the U.S., Jill Lepore, professor of American history at Harvard University, staff writer at The New Yorker, and the author of several books, including We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution (Liveright, 2025), digs into the history of the country's founding document and what it means for the country that it is so difficult, but still possible, to change.

On the 24th anniversary of 9/11, this special episode of America's Founding Series draws a powerful connection between the sacrifice of Nathan Hale in 1776 and the heroism shown on September 11, 2001. At just 21 years old, Hale gave his life for liberty, uttering words that continue to echo through history. More than two centuries later, first responders, ordinary citizens, and the passengers of Flight 93 embodied that same spirit of courage and unity. Together, these moments remind us that America's strength lies in ordinary people who choose duty over fear. Episode Highlights Nathan Hale's mission, capture, and final words that turned failure into inspiration. The striking parallels between Hale's sacrifice and the bravery of 9/11 heroes. How America's spirit of unity and courage continues to endure in times of crisis.

After telling Brian Krassenstein to kick sand, Rand Paul came back with a book recommendation for Harper Lee. We'll try to connect these dots in real time.
