The Counterrevolution of 1776 w/ Dr. Gerald Horne
Update: 2018-03-29
Description
I chat with historian Dr. Gerald Horne about his book the Counterrevolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America. This was a real treat considering that he continually tied race and chattel slavery of yesteryear to our current "Trumpian" state of affairs. The trade of Africans in the colonial Caribbean and North America was not for the risk averse or the meek of heart. Not only did those who engaged in trade and buying and selling of Africans face the possibility of losing out on their investment due to runaways, but slave owners could lose life and limb.
