finally, the basis for the treaty should be antebellum, that which existed before the war began. you will notice there are some difficulties here. the reason there are difficulties in all of this, first of all the english position was we will win this war, we will have territory, we will use it as a marker for negotiations, and the americans will exceed as a consequence of this. in addition, it is a very interesting, i mentioned the treating rights of 1783 for the fisherman of new england to be able to use unoccupied land in canada near the fishing banks to be able to address their fish. -- to dry and dress their fish. this right was aggregated since the wars beginning. but the same treaty, which guarantees them access through the mississippi, somehow was not aggregated by the same war, which was a difficult position to reconcile. i had incredible difficulty reconciling the zone matters in -- these matters in my own mind. when you look at the question of status quo antebellum, it was a matter of understanding between secretary munro and ourselves, tried to ,- prior to the negotia

furthermore, when you look at the question of the status quo antebellum, it was a matter of understanding between secretary munro and ourselves, prior to the negotiation, that we would not press the matter of impressment. why? napoleon had abdicated in 1814. he had been sent to exile. the english lit -- in this navy no longer needed to have somebody ships at sea. the sailors are being dismissed. the need for impressment no longer existed. so, we, at the beginning of our negotiations, did not even address the matter of impressment. as it would make matters easier for us to discuss. now as we look at the situation , in the country at the various military activities, we have four invasions. how many of you realized that were four invasions of the united states in 1814? sarah, --sir, you are aware of these? where were they, can you tell me that? >> we invaded canada, there were a whole series of battles that went on in the area between what is now vermont and new hampshire, new york, that area. obviously we were aware of what , was going on in new orleans. and the british invasion of eastern

interestingly, you get to the antebellum, you get southerners saying it is a positive good. we are taking care of those people, better than they would be if they were back in africa. they say that. calhoun says that. interestingly, nobody says that in the late 18th century. there are people that wanted to be removed. franklin says that. adams says it from afar in london. and other people like slaveowners, such as jefferson and pinckney, it is a necessary evil. we cannot do without it. our economy cannot work without it. but nobody makes a moral case for slavery in the late 18th century. they know it is wrong. they all know that slavery violates the values on which the american revolution was based. there is no disagreement about that. ok? so anyone that claims -- and the south would say it is not, but it is -- and the confederate flag thing? we understand there have southerners live grown-up that understand it is a patriotic thing, but go back and read. when south carolina secedes, they tell you why. it is slavery. the civil war is about slavery. and anybody who argues diffe

one of the lectures that i wrote was on african american culture in the antebellum south, with the goal of showing how slaves preserved the dignity and self preservation within the institution of slavery. i talked about religion, folktales, kinship, the arts of resistance, how slaves would mock their masters without the masters knowing it. i talked about a number of things that represented african-american agency. i thought i did a great job. perhaps i did in terms of presentation with the bells and whistles. when i lecture, i do get out in the crowd and walk around and ask people questions. i would probably drive c-span crazy if i did that. so i thought i did a good job. but i remember, i was walking down the aisle and up the stairs, and had this sinking, sick to my stomach feeling. did i just convinced 220 freshmen that slavery was not that bad? i left out the most important thing. the most important thing is that on a day-to-day basis slaves were subjected to inhumane treatment. having their sons and daughters sold off to other plantations. being lifted the whim of sadistic overseers
