This has been up for twelve years and only 30 people have commented? Outrageous!
I found out today that Thaddeus Stevens and his lifelong companion Livia Hamilton Smith, were cast as villains in D. W. Griffith's racist masterpiece, "Birth of a Nation."
Yes, but they were depicted as heroes in Spielberg's Lincoln. Yes, Thaddeus had his faults which were also depicted, but his work toward emancipation and freedom was beyond reproach.
@@dovbarleib3256 I found this video looking for more information about Stevens because of Spielberg's movie -- I love it! Stevens role as a villain in D.W. Griffiths' racist Birth of a Nation is only a badge of honor as far as I'm concerned!
Ikr sooooo. SAD. BELIEABLE FOR SURE✔️
Chaddeus Stevens
Thaddeus Stevens was centuries ahead of his time
I would strongly recommend that everyone take the time to see the new Lincoln movie from Spielberg just released to see a great depiction of how powerful and influential a man Stevens was in his day.
✔️
I really like the way this was done. I’ll check the book out. Love the reflection and interaction with the audience.
So, for posterity: he sounds perfect at 1.75 playback.
It is an oversight to leave out one of the greatest GWP’s, Julius Rosenwald.
"...this is a government of the people. And CONGRESS is the people."
Say what now Thaddeus?
McCall72 your statement now, means more than you realized then. I'm running for the radical Republican party. Can I seal your vote?
Great Stuff . I’m actually studying his work
Thank you for posting this.
Yes he was actually responsible for free slavery more than anyone else but Abraham Lincoln gets the credit yes he had a part of it but it was Steven’s who pushed many especially Lincoln for abolishment. Thaddeus unknown and underrated but one of the greatest Americans that ever lived.
OmGOD I couldn’t said it ANY BETTER‼️
"This is not a white man's gov!" Thaddeus Stevens
Heyyyyyyyy NOW!!!!!! My HEROE❤
May GOD REST HIS SOUL🙏🏿
I share in his vision of unsung political heroes in the likes of William Lloyd Garisson, Thaddeus Stevens, Wendell Phillips, etc.
Rep. Larry McDonald
Great talk!
Please GO SEE "LINCOLN" in THEATERS NOW!!!!!
The title is dehumanizing.
Why so superficial on how something looks to define a person by the color of ones skin?
That title suggests a racist POV, and would attract those with racist beliefs to want that book.
Very disappointing
This book is about anti racist white people???
@@GavinusMaximusMaster if someone defines people by the color of ones skin,… they’re probably a damn racist 😉
If you're considering Jesse Daniel Ames, then surely, you have to consider J.F. K. and not " put him on the other side of the line." You also mentioned a judge who did not overcome his racist upbringing, but you will include him. Lest we forget, It was President Kennedy who, along with his brother, possibly saved James Meredith's life, in 1962, by sending Federal Marshalls and then the National Guard, to Oxford, Mississippi. The same scenario played out in 1963, at the University of Alabama, when George Wallace stood in the "schoolhouse door.' But he didn't stand there for very long, because President Kennedy sent in the National guard and Wallace got out of the way. Enough said.
I understand to say GWP is based off of real material actions and feelings but there is the struggle of conditioning which is also in effect.
A person born, raised and surrounded by Nazis his or her entire life is likely not to be a good person, however, if that same person was born, raised and surrounded by good hearted people his or her entire life than that person is likely to be good and loving.
We are all conditioned by our environments since our birth and throughout our lives and there are footholds towards evil and hatred and footholds towards love and goodness. We dont choose in our youth but as we grow we start to have more choice in how we feed our minds and hearts.
Another aspect at play is the natural drive towards empathy, which aparently in some is severely diminished and in others can be diminished by choice, but there are those whos empathic drive is very strong and seemingly resistant to deadening of that drive.
If you look at history it is aparent that in this country it is actually getting better over time. Dreams belong to everyone, the words 'Liberty and Justice for ALL' speak for themselves outside how bad the writers of those words (T. Jefferson and T. Paine) may of been, its is an open check to be cashed. America has never been, let alone been great, America is a form of becoming, towards striving towards those words and dreams of "a more perfect Union" of humanity.
We are all always evolving.
Dig deeper
I believe that MERIT must be the only consideration when hiring a TECHNICIAN for the military.
Well I think ASVAB waivers with exceptional morals are the ones we need for EOD, technical proficiency is not needed, I would feel better knowing that that inevitable pink myst flying into the air after the bomb blows up didnt uses Jesus's name in vein or look at porn.
Lincoln was always against slavery. And he campaigned in 1860 against its spread to the Territories. Had he emancipated slaves at the beginning of the Civil War, all 4 border slave states + W. Virginia, which necessarily stayed with the Union in 1861, would have immediately joined the Confederacy making it impossible for the North to win the War and even to protect an isolated Washington D.C. Therefore Lincoln's approach to overturn the Slave Culture was necessary to wait until a crisis in the War in which liberating slaves in the Confederacy by proclamation became necessary to achieve the ultimate goal. Even there Lincoln needed finesse in order to avoid antagonizing his own border slave states.
He may have gone after the head of the beast ( Rothschild) a TAD TOO SOON tho.
Wow.
Terrible lecturer.
He said President Andrew Johnson. Wasn't it Andrew Jackson? LOL
Andrew Johnson was Lincoln's Vice President, who later became President after Lincoln was assassinated. Who was the first President to be impeached.
Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson were racist, Johnson racist against black and Jackson racist against American Indians Jackson responsible for Trail of Tears
Andrew Jackson was a horrible Slave owner . He whipped a slave woman for doing a neighbor's laundry .
Andrew Johnson was called a "Jacksoncrat" and quoted him often.
@@brotherrick241 Jackson was also racist against blacks, he just didn't do anything specific against them beyond what anyone else of his time did while the Failure of reconstruction can be laid entirely at Johnsons feet
