Everyone knows about General George Washington and the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. But, very few people know the circumstances surrounding that surrender. Very few people know about the involvement of an enslaved Black man named James who worked as a double agent during the war, secretly passing information to the Americans while feeding the British false leads. Few people know the risks James took, risks that eventually led to an American victory, risks that stood to gain him nothing in return. Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: American Battlefield Trust "James Armistead Lafayette"Library of Virginia "James Lafayette Petition for Freedom, 1786"United States Army National Museum "James Armistead Lafayette"Wikipedia "James Armistead Lafayette"Wikipedia "Benedict Arnold"Wikipedia "Marquis de Lafayette"Shoot me a message!

Basically, God was saying: "Get rid of your baggage. You've been carrying it for way too long." Host Heather Schott and co-host Jasmine Weiler sit down with Pastor Will Ford — prayer warrior, author, and lead pastor of Mercy Culture East Fort Worth — to tell the story of a 250-year-old cast iron kettle. Will's enslaved ancestors in Louisiana would flip it upside down on the cabin floor and pray under it for freedom, muffling their voices so they wouldn't be caught crying out to God. Generations later, those prayers were answered — and the story only gets more miraculous from there. As America marks its 250th anniversary and a season of Jubilee, this is a call back to the one weapon the Church keeps leaving on the table: prayer. Will's family story is now being made into a feature film, The Dream King.

In 1781, Walker sued for his freedom in the commonwealth. A judge ruled in his favor, and the case became a model for ending slavery across the burgeoning nation.

Enslaved to Christ – Romans 6:15–23 by Redemption Church

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, explains that enslaved people like Suki provided the essential "intellectual labor" and agricultural expertise required for successful plantations. Despite this, the domestic slave trade treated two million people as speculative property between 1820 and 1860. Charles Dickens famously witnessed the heartbreak of families being separated on trains for the sake of "short-term profits." This human trafficking machine was fueled by planters chasing high-margin crops like cotton while maintaining a delusion of lifelong stability. (13)1806

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, reveals that the University of Georgia's Baldwin Hall was built over an unacknowledged burial ground for enslaved people. Although the university initially claimed the remains were European, DNA analysis and archival research proved they were of African descent. This attempt to "re-bury the history" illustrates the ongoing need to escape the shadow of the great house by embracing the truth of the past. Roodargues for an anti-plantation counterculture that values human relationships over "breakneck exploitation." (16)

On this day, 2 July 1848, enslaved people in St Croix (now the US Virgin Islands) rebelled, burned down plantations and besieged the town of Frederiksted. The Caribbean island was at that time a Danish colony, and it had been decreed that slavery would be abolished in 1859, but the enslaved workers refused to wait. After revolutions in Europe led to turmoil in nearby Martinique and Guadeloupe, hundreds of rebels seized the moment and rose up. By the end of the day, only the local military garrison, Fort Frederiksværn, had not yet been overrun. The following day, the governor general, Peter von Scholten arrived. Faced with demands from the enslaved people to immediately abolish slavery, or they would burn the town to the ground, he relented and shouted out: “Now you are free, you are hereby emancipated.”Technically von Scholten had no authority to abolish slavery, and he was strongly criticised by enslavers and Danish authorities. But faced with a fait accompli, Denmark had no real choice but to accept the situation. The agreement achieved by the formerly enslaved people went even further than just immediate emancipation, as the order issued on the night of July 3 also applied to the Danish colonies of St Thomas and St John, and directed that the enslaved had the right to keep their current housing and provisions for three months, and that elderly and ill labourers had to be looked after by the former enslavers "until further determination".The old enslavers subsequently sued the Danish government demanding recompense for the loss of their "property". Danish Parliament rejected their claim, on the grounds that "slavery [was] itself an institution in conflict with religion and justice". But they did then agreed to pay a relatively low compensation figure of $50 per enslaved person.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9191/st-croix-enslaved-revoltOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

In honor of July 4th, we're exploring an important part of American history – the contributions of enslaved Black chefs, whose work influences American cuisine to this day. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson brought the enslaved chef James Hemings, brother of Sally Hemings, with him to France to train under the French culinary masters of the day. Hemings created a cuisine that was half French, half Virginian, and brought it back to Jefferson's plantation, Monticello. This week, Dan tours the kitchens at Monticello with three descendants of enslaved Virginians: Michael Twitty, culinary historian and historical interpreter; Niya Bates, senior fellow of African American history at Monticello; and Gayle Jessup White, public relations and community engagement officer at Monticello. This episode originally aired on October 21, 2019, and July 3, 2023, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, Ngofeen Mputubwele, and Peter Clowney.

Ross Mansion in Seaford is home to Delaware's lone remaining dwelling that was once inhabited by enslaved people.The number of these dwellings nationwide is dwindling in part because they were made with shoddy materials and in part because there has been little effort to preserve them until recent years.But historians say these spaces are incredibly valuable as they provide a window into enslaved people's inner lives, which is often neglected or difficult to learn about.In this edition of History Matters, Delaware Public Media's Abigail Lee traveled to Ross Mansion and the John Dickinson Plantation in Dover to see these spaces and speak with experts on the lasting significance of them.

Ancient Rome is often thought of as an ideal society where toga-clad men debated democracy while eating grapes. But in fact, the Roman Empire and Republic couldn't have existed without slavery. What were these enslaved people's lives like? Pretty awful, actually! Historian Emma Southon joins us to talk about slavery in Ancient Rome: what it was like, why people like to pretend it wasn't so bad, and what did Spartacus have to do with it all?

A doubtful, fearful population is easy to control. A confident, self-reliant one is not. That's not an accident, it's the whole game. In this episode, John Bush sits down with Mark England, founder of the Enlifted Method and one of the most sought-after mindset coaches on the planet. Five continents, four thousand clients, ten thousand coaching hours, a TEDx talk, and nearly five hundred certified coaches later, Mark has cracked something the control system would rather you never figure out: the words you use about yourself are building the cage you live in, and you've been handed most of those words on purpose. We get into how the predator class profits from a population stuck in self-doubt and fear, and why the work of reclaiming your own mind is one of the most subversive things you can do. When you stop believing the story they want you to believe about yourself, you become almost impossible to manipulate. Mark grew up watching his dirt-poor father build a gas station empire from nothing through pure focus and a must-do attitude. He took that same intensity into cage fighting, teaching, and eventually coaching, where he discovered that nearly every limitation people carry traces back to a story they've been told, and then keep telling themselves, for years. In this conversation: How fear and self-doubt are cultivated and weaponized to keep people compliant Why reclaiming your inner narrative is a real act of exit and self-ownership The three-part framework that cuts through years of conditioning: words, stories, breath How childhood trauma, bad relationships, and self-sabotage hide inside the language you use every day Why "simple" and "easy" aren't the same thing, and where the real gold is buried How to start rewriting your story today instead of carrying their version for another decade You can't build a free life on a colonized mind. This one is about taking yours back. Watch now, then go build.

Saving faith is a decision to fully surrender to be a slave to Christ.

Sugar may seem like a natural, almost eternal substance, cultivated over thousands of years. But it was remade by capitalism and turned into a homogenized commodity. Enslaved labor was central to sugar production on vast plantations, which would then be discarded as sugar laid waste to both the lands and human bodies. And, as historian of science David Singerman illustrates, scientific techniques were utilized to standardize sugar, while attempting to replace the knowledge of the workers who labored in its refineries.

Welcome back to Spanish Loops. This week, we take on a subject that is as uncomfortable as it is essential: slavery. Not just the version most people immediately associate with the Atlantic world, but a deeper, broader reality that stretches across civilizations and centuries.Slavery has existed since the earliest organized societies. In places like Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome, enslaved people were part of the economic and social fabric, building empires, serving elites, and sustaining entire systems of power. Across the Islamic world, including Al-Andalus, slavery also played a significant role, often tied to war, trade, and cultural exchange.But as always, here on Spanish Loops, we zoom in on Spain. The story becomes even more complex when we reach the turning point marked by Portugal reaching East and conquering territories in Africa, and Christopher Columbus's first voyage. From that moment, Spain became another player in a global network that would redefine slavery forever... The transatlantic slave trade.Alongside powers like Portugal, France and United Kingdom, Spain helped shape a system that forcibly moved millions of Africans to the Americas. Enslaved labor fuelled economies, built cities, and left scars that are still visible today. Yet within this harsh reality, there were also stories of resilience and transformation, individuals who rose from enslavement to become influential figures in society, challenging the very systems that bound them.This episode doesn't shy away from the human cost. It explores the moral contradictions, the economic motivations, and the cultural legacies that still echo in modern Spain and beyond. Because understanding slavery isn't just about looking back, it's about recognizing how history shapes identity, inequality, and memory today.Learn, reflect, and question what you thought you knew. In this episode will take you on a journey across time, continents, and perspectives. This is not just history. This is a conversation we still need to have.For Jorge: Small Group Tours in Spain & PortugalWebsite: https://travelingwithjorge.wordpress.com/Small group tours Spain, cultural tours Spain and Portugal, authentic travel experiences, guided tours for mature travelers, food and wine tours Iberian Peninsula.If you're dreaming about discovering Spain and Portugal beyond the typical tourist routes, Jorge designs small group cultural tours that combine history, local gastronomy, wine experiences, and meaningful human connections.

Easter at Journey: The Story from Genesis to the Empty Tomb In an Easter service at Journey, Jeremy welcomes attendees and online viewers, encourages newcomers to download the Journey app, and shares a church tradition of handing out Cadbury Eggs. He then traces the overarching biblical narrative—from creation's original goodness, the fall and humanity's shame and hiding, to God's promises through Abraham, Israel's slavery and deliverance, the cycle of drifting, and the longing for a king—highlighting that the problem is the human heart. He connects prophetic promises of a new heart and healing to Jesus' incarnation, ministry, betrayal, and crucifixion, explaining “It is finished” as debt paid and the battle won. He culminates with the resurrection as new creation and hope, urging listeners to stop striving and hiding, trust Jesus, and respond personally to the empty tomb. 00:00 Welcome to Easter 00:52 Cadbury Egg Tradition 02:14 Why Easter Matters 04:56 In the Beginning 07:46 The Fall and Shame 10:50 God's Promise to Abraham 12:52 Where Is the Lamb 14:52 Enslaved in Egypt 17:25 Drifting From God 18:20 Everyone Did Right 19:37 A King Named David 20:24 David's Broken Hero 21:42 Prophets Promise New Heart 23:12 Silence and Waiting Room 24:09 God Becomes Flesh 26:17 Follow Me Invitation 28:54 Claims Betrayal and Trial 30:47 The Cross Reframed 34:45 It Is Finished Meaning 36:48 Empty Tomb New Creation 39:08 Resurrection Hope Today 40:35 Restoration Promise Ahead 42:12 Choose Your Response 42:55 Closing Prayer

On this day, 6 April 1712, a major rebellion of enslaved people in North America took place in New York City.The enslaved people set fire to a building on Maiden Lane, near Broadway and, as the colonists tried to put out the blaze, the rebels attacked them with guns, hatchets and swords, killing nine and injuring six. They then made their escape to the north, which was as yet undeveloped. Militia and armed colonists then went on the hunt for the rebels. Six rebels died by suicide to avoid capture, and 40 put on trial. 18 were acquitted and others pardoned, but the remainder were brutally executed. Some were crushed to death, others were burned alive, some were hanged and others starved to death.In the wake of the revolt, stricter laws were established to try to discourage future rebellions, including restrictions on direct communication between enslaved people, a ban on their possessing firearms, and harsher punishments.Learn more about slavery and rebellions against it in this book: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/products/a-history-of-pan-african-revolt-c-l-r-jamesOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Greenberg has now published Red Bull’s story in Wired. He joins Apple News In Conversation guest host Sam Sanders to discuss what he uncovered about the shadowy world of global scam compounds, and what happened when Red Bull tried to escape.

The British Army is at your door. They need a room. What do you do? For thousands of civilians living in cities occupied during the American War for Independence — Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Newport, Charleston, Savannah — this wasn't a hypothetical. It was a reality that upended daily life and revealed a side of the revolution we rarely talk about. Lauren Duval, author of The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupations, and the Making of American Independence, joins us to explore what the War for Independence actually looked like from inside the household. Women who negotiated quartering terms and held their ground. Men who came to blows over who controlled the parlor. Enslaved people who used the chaos of occupation to reunite families and reach British lines. The revolution didn't just happen on battlefields. It happened at kitchen tables, in back gardens, and on doorsteps.Lauren's Website | Book |Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00  Introduction00:01:38  The Home Front of the American Revolution00:05:24  The Gensis of the Revolutionary Household00:10:49  Why Focus on Urban Port Cities00:19:46  The British Occupation's Impact on City Life00:25:55  Quartering a British Officer: The Drinker Household00:33:38.

St. Patrick's story is one of suffering, conversion, and mission. Enslaved as a teenager, he encountered God in hardship and later returned to Ireland to preach Christ. This episode reflects on the Lorica of St. Patrick—a powerful prayer of spiritual strength and protection—and its invitation during Lent: to rise each day not by our own strength, but through the strength of the Trinity and the life of Christ. Rooted in the Cross, surrounded by the communion of saints, and sustained by Christ's presence, we are reminded: we do not walk alone.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, TUBMAN, AND DIVERGENT ABOLITIONIST PATHS Colleague Alan Taylor. Taylor discusses the Underground Railroad's informal network and Harriet Tubman's repeated risks to rescue enslaved people. He contrasts Frederick Douglass's integrationist, political approach with Martin Delany's black nationalist separatism. Additionally, he notes how Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin successfully generated white empathy for the enslaved. NUMBER 1
