notably, charleston with the 54th massachusetts. but something that came out in the midst of my research was realizing that the majority of black pows that we know about from these testimonies, from prior historians' research, were free men from the north. men who had not previously been enslaf ed enslaved and were held in the prisons in a limbo. they were neither free nor enslaved. they couldn't be exchanged under the terms of the confederacy because they were black soldiers. black soldiers were inherently seditious and rebellious and could insight a slave insur insurrection. this is something i really came to find as i continued my research, that this wasn't a theory i started off with. this took several years for me to figure out. basically what i realized was that freemen have been the most visible group of pows. they're also a relative minority. several hundred men were freemen from the north, contained in prisons like andersonville and charleston, but thousands of men who had been formerly enslaved were also held captive and s

>> charleston of course became the great spokesman for the nra. there are the famous pictures, from my cold, dead hands. one of the things that i, found charleston was the first to say, one of the things that i found in research on gun fights, among blacks in the civil war, the same attitude was prevalent. you will only take my gun from my cold, hard, hands. during the civil war for the very first time, southern blacks get their hands on blacks. some served in the union army. and the army cannot afford to pit soldier so it'll allows it soldiers to take their gun home with them and it will detect the back wages that the union army owns them. others -- the marketplace that is flooded with farms produce for the, war but once the war ended, not the same necessity. resist organizations like the kkk formed right after the civil war. specifically with the goal of gun control. getting the guns away from african americans. as long as the freemen had guns they would be able to fight back. it took to gathering in big groups. going out a night. in the disguis

>> guest: this is the so-called charleston loophole. the house of representatives has passed a bill to deal with this. if you are prohibited from owning a gun right now if you are a felon or convicted of certain misdemeanors or if you've been arrested for a crime and not yet convicted if the prison term is going to be at least a year than you could possibly get -- dylann roof fit none of those categories. he had been arrested for misdemeanor drug offense where the maximum time would have been six months or they could have spent 30 years looking for his background and he wouldn't been prohibited from owning a gun. what they want to do with this law that passed the house and is before the senate is to make it so the government can delay selling guns for 30 days. my argument is that you want to make an argument that we should have 30 days waiting period make that argument that don't claim you would have stopped this crime by having this particular law in effect. they rap it around this crime that they say would have been convicted when rea

in charleston there is the manual church and in 1822 a man was accused of plotting and insurrection. how did he get free? this is one of the ironies and complexity of slavery. he was an enslaved man and played the lottery like he plays the convenience store and $11,500 and used 600 of the $1,500 to buy his own freedom from his so-called owners and so after 1800 he was freed and he was a very prominent man. we don't know if it was and insurrection. he was accused of leaving this plot and of course he was executed. the church was completely destroyed. now there was enormous sensitivity wasn't even the right word. there was paranoia because the haitians had defeated the army in bonaparte when napoleon became emperor they wanted to reinstitute on the island. >> and a particularly brutal form of slavery. the lifespan on the plantation was seven years. sugar was like crack. they were using the analysis but normal people, students couldn't, kings and queens and only wealthy people could use sugar before the new world opened up so it would become one of the first commodity products and it wa
