I apologize for the delay! As you can see by previous blog posts, I spent a couple of weeks down South, and I didn't have time to work on the most recent video until I got back home.
This week: Arkansas passes a bill to rid the state of all free African Americans; Virginia is not pleased with President Buchanan; Abraham Lincoln as speaker & lawyer on his 50th birthday; Louisiana discusses a bill that would allow them to import enslaved people from outside the U.S.; Edwin Stanton; Pierce Mease Butler squanders his fortune & it's the enslaved people that will pay
As always, I invite you to join me each week (Tuesday) as I spotlight people & events that eventually lead us into the four-year battle. If you'd like to start at the beginning, there is a playlist of all recap videos to-date, starting with January 1, 1859.
