frederick douglass was tortured there in 1833, 1834. it is the same actual physical place in which the great frederick douglass was tortured and beaten and worked nearly to death every day for a year. whether or not you think that place should be purchased by this country and made into a memorial for the worst, most violent evils of slavery, and their role in turning on americans conscious is to end slavery, and right, that is a substantive an interesting proposal. whether or not you're into that idea, would you want to live there yourself? would you like to wake up there in the morning play their breakfast, who would do that? -- that article published was published published and controversial at that time. because in writing that beast, it revealed the exact home address of a senior government official, that in fact had made mount misery his private home. his name was donald rumsfeld. and he was at the time, in the summer of 2006, struggling to the end of his disastrous tenure as secretary of defense of the georgia we bush administrati

this is part of how frederick douglas describes him. he says, quote, i have now lived with him, meaning his slave owner, nearly nine months, and he had given me a number of severe whippings, without any visible improvement in my character or any conduct. now he was resolved to put me out as he said, quote, to be broken. there was in the bay side a man named edward covey, who enjoyed the kpe crated reputation of being a first rate hand at breaking young negroes. breaking. frederick douglas then goes on in chapter after chapter after chapter in this auto biography. look at this. the experience. you know, covey's manner of proceeding to whip. chapter after chapter after chapter he describes this experience, the way that edward covey tortured him and beat him nearly to death and worked him nearly to death all the try to destroy frederick douglas 'spirit, to turn him into a docile slave who would work out question where he would then be returned to his owner. because douglas is so capable and brilliant, his own recounting of what happened to

and up there in frederick, the frederick seven. some of them go back to the continental army, which is crazy. we do not even think about that today. we think, you are either british. or you are a patriot or a whig. the complexities of the situation highlight the civil war aspect. this is a civil war in many respects. if you do not know this i am putting you on the spot so that is ok. how many of these loyalists do you think when the war was over and the united states was created, how many do you think actually leave and go to canada or go someplace else, just totally leave, refused to stay here and they just leave? travis: as far as the men involved in these two episodes? host: that or just in general. travis: in general kind of the numbers that scholars today give to the number of loyalists who actually leave the new united states is somewhere in the number of 80,000. so, it's a pretty substantial number of people, most will go to canada. some will go to the west indies. very few return to britain because these people are not real

then of course, abraham lincoln, walt whitman, frederick douglass , karl marx, frederick engels, thomas carlyle, charles darwin. in the bottom row, henry david thoreau, margaret fuller, charles dickens. olmsted was involved in the nation, the new york daily times, a publication called gardener forest. he wrote about england and antebellum american south. as well as being a corresponded when fox was working with him prior to downing staff. olmsted was uniquely prepared to tackle social issues and urban improvement through physical design. it is a commonplace remark that his parks are derived from 18th-century parks, designed by capability brown. here, these are characterized by vast swabs of meadow, livestock, sheep, cattle, undulating water, surrounding forest plantations. the occasional eye-catching pavilion in the distance. a very modest architectural feature. these parks have an ancient pedigree. the design was heavily inspired by literary writings dating to classical times in greece and rome. particularly the writings of virgil, appraised agrarian and pastoral scenery. contrasting t

up there and it frederick seven. and some of them go back you said -- you don't think about it today. you think either british, patriot, whip, a loyalist, and the complexities of the situation just highlights the fact that the civil war aspect, right, it's basically a civil war in many aspects. if you don't know this, travis, i'm putting on the spot, it's okay. how many of these loyalists do you think when the war was over, the united states was created, how many of them do you think actually could leave and go to canada, go somewhere else? just refusing to stay here, just sleep, what do you think? >> as far as the men involved and the two episodes? >> that or in general. in general. it's hard to answer but in general. >> in general the numbers that scholars today give to the number of loyalists who actually left the united states and someone the number of about 80,000. it's a pretty substantial number of people. most will go to canada. some will go to the west indies. very few returned to britain because these peopl

by 1903, however, frederick law olmsted had retired. so, his son who had worked with him for decades at that point had started a firm with his half-brother, frederick law olmsted junior. they formed the old said -- the olmsted brothers firm. this is who leadership in seattle connected with when they first rode out east to get an expert to work on the parks system. like my first graphic shown, this is quite a ways from brookline, massachusetts, particularly if you are relying on train travel. so, another stroke of luck that came seattle's way is the lewis and clark expedition was planned for 1905. the portland board of park commissioners had already contacted the olmsted firm and asked them to design the grounds. it was a little easier to draw olmsted out to the west coast because here are two big projects waiting for him and they allow the cities to share the expenses and benefit from this economy scale of having two cities work to make the trip out here. and, so, that was incredibly lucky. john olmsted also did a plan for the portland

frederick douglas said, one of my favorite quotes, the life of a nation is secure only while the nationhonest, truthful and virtuous, there's nothing honest about what these democratic the elected officials are doing, nothing truthful about what any of them are doing and nothing virtuous about this. you cannot turn this into a voting rights act. the voting rights act of 1965 was strongly opposed by democrats and they have been fighting and hiding behind what is really going on since slavery to be honest with you, since slavery into. this isn't a race issue, this is an issue of i want to go to a poll, i want to get my id because i'm not dead, i am alive. i want to vote legally. i want you to know i vote illegally, anyone who loves america, anyone running from this issue wants to protect their right to operate outside the law, it is that simple and i don't know how americans aren't up in arms and in the civil war over this. laura: when you hear people like al sharpton and others claim that having poll watchers who can see what is happening when they are counting the votes means they don't

today in this special broadcast, we begin with the words of frederick douglass. born into slavery around 1818, douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement. on july 5, 1852, in rochester, new york, he gave one of his most famous speeches, "what to the slave is the fourth of july?" he was addressing the rochester ladies' anti-slavery society. this is james earl jones reading the historic address during a performance of voices of a people's history of the united states co-edited by howard zinn. the latereat historian introduced the address. >> frederick douglass, once a slave, became a brilliant and powerful leader of the anti-slavery movement. in 1852, he was asked to speak in celebration of the fourth of july. frederick douglass: [read by james earl jones] fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am i called upon to speak here today? what have i, or those i represent, to do with your national independence? are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that declaration of independence, extended to us? and am

by the time codepaxi erupts in 1862 erupting volcanoes hearkened back to a speech frederick douglass gave in 1860 called the american apocalypse in which he stated slavery is america's moral volcano waiting to erupt like meteors. erupting volcanoes quickly became associated with the turbulent issue of slavery, but almost more to the point the north was being viewed as a symbol of the north of patriotism the south and in particular south america another edenic landscape when it's not erupting was viewed as paradise and associated with the south owen lovejoy, who is a republican congressman gets up on the floor of the house in 1861, and he declares the perpetuating slavery makes about as much sense as writing an iceberg into the tropics and expecting it not to melt. there are political cartoons of james buchanan as an iceberg melting under the glare of abraham lincoln as the sun, you know icebergs and ice are viewed as part of northern fortitude and the south and the tropics are viewed as emblematic of the south literally in this case on fire and coming apart at the seams the reviews t

now there are so many subjects one can address about frederick douglass. you know, the oldest and most famous idea about douglass is that he was this former slave who escaped at age 20, managed to write his first autobiography by age 27, took the world boy a storm as an orator and had a big role to play by the ends of the civil war, inviting lincoln and making lincoln do it in some case. there is so much more to douglass. it has been in the last 20 to 25 years, 30 years if you push it, yeah, at least 30, it gets back to my first book. so he's been taken seriously as a thinker, very seriously as a thinker, by political theorists, by law school professors, he has been taken seriously by literary critics for a long time. that's where it all start door douglass, one article after another, about chapter one his narrative, where he watchis his aunt beaten to a bloody pulp by his owner. that must have stimulated 45 essays by literary critic. but all different disciplines have now discovered douglass as artist and thinker. that was not always the case. if american

frederick, you're dealing with this firsthand in terms of having to stand up. once again, your fourth icu unit that you hadn't needed in months. and i read a few days ago, the percent of covider covid patients in icu you had on ventilators was 88% up from about 40 to 50% months ago. those numbers just paint the picture of how much worse the delta variant is making it. what does it tell you about the risks of the unvaccinated that you're seeing these numbers? >> pretty alarming, poppy. as of this morning, we're up over 90% of our icu patients with covid are on ventilators. to see those kind of numbers is just shocking. the team is working hard to support those patients. as we've shared the acceleration of the in-patient just caught everyone by surprise how quickly this spread. so, as far as the folks in the community that have still chosen not to seek the vaccine, we're very concerned for them and very concerned for what lies ahead of us throughout the course of the summer. >> dr. frederick, in effect, we're in this country living in information bubbles, right?

one of the interesting stories i loved i don't hear a lot of people mentioning is frederick ella -- frederick douglass went to a number of churches during his recruitment phase and also charles redman. at one point, douglas s who will stand up and go with me and that list and nobody does. it's a white member of the audience that says why should i? it was that vocal criticism. there was also some family members. there's unfortunate stories, particulate with young boys, teenage boys that are desperate to prove their manhood. there is a gentleman named lee brown who runs away from home 13 and runs away from home and signs up and dies about 70 miles away from his family. it is really heart wrenching because the family are reflecting, we told him not to go. he's going to die, and he did. and that is really important. and i would like to follow-up up with the pressure is important to recognize the prominence of black women and support for the usct. there needs to be more focus on african american women's significance in the civil war. william d kelley, the congressman from pennsylvania, during a re
