her family's most , only toave to liberia ask she be returned to her and richmond a few years later. the story is very puzzling and improbable. and while the sources are murky secretly for lew the sum of her slaves and allow them to stay on in richmond working for wages, she gave a secret freedom to some slaves, ownership of at least half a dozen slaves, mary richards among them, into the civil war. this is not the profile of an abolitionist. believed in gradual, voluntary emancipation. gradual amelioration, reform from the inside. this was no northern heresy. this was a distinctly virginian , andok in her youth attitude, a support for colonization and other gradualist schemes that fell out of favor over the antebellum ground.ave and here is the key to understanding van lew's life as a spy. she did not see herself as someone who repudiated the confederacy or the south. instead, van lew believed confederates were the traitors to the south. in her reckoning, it was day, abandonedsts, who virginia's heritage of political moderation. it was they who rejected reform and compromise. it was

she was sent to liberia and summoned back to richmond. step ahead of the authorities as she worked in the richmond underground by using a series of aliases. including mary henley and mary jones. after reconstruction we have letters in her own hand revealing to the freedmen's bureau that she had served as a federal agent or in the war. clobber her story and map it on to the house her story. .his is an object lesson the most striking single piece of evidence on mary richards wartime exploits did not come to light after i published the book. published myter i book about van lou, someone of the state library in virginia sent me a newspaper article from a new york newspaper. one of the premier african newspapers in the company. that new super article covered speech given by a woman going by the name rich ammonia richard. baptistklyn new york church in september of 1855. in this article, we see the claim, we see richard is credited with having said that she had gone into president david's house while speaking -- and making a winter pride office

this was a group started in order to take care of people in amazon and liberia. and now they set up camps, but here in appalachia and new mexico doing the work that they would have been doing abroad. but the demand is so high for free medical care, they have people that line up thousands of people that come to these camps in the middle of america in order to get health care. first of all, i think it says, it is amazing that they are doing that, god's work and should be supported. and it says that we have a huge hole in our health care system and there are a lot of them and people come out by the thousands when they have the opportunity to access high quality care. >> how do you make sense of this? how do you reconcile this. here we are blocks away from some of the best medical facilities on the planet, you know, fanciest gadgets, the smartest people, the most accomplished in their fields and you are describing parts of our country where we are seeing diseases that the developing world has almost beaten and we are getting now. >> i find if staggering. i feel as a

they sent mary richards to liberia as a teenager, only to ask that mary be returned to her a few years later. i will come back to that story, very puzzling. and while there is some evidence that sources are murky here, that van lew secretly flayed patient freed some of her slaves, and allow them to stay on working for wages, that she gave a secret freedom to some slaves, her family had ownership of at least a half a dozen bonds people slaves. this was well into the civil war. this is not the profile of an abolitionist. van lew believed in gradual voluntary emancipation. gradual amelioration of the system reformed from the inside. this was no northern heresy. this was a distinctly virginian outlook in her youth, and attitude and support for colonization and other gradual schemes that fell out of favor over the course of antebellum. -- antebellum period as the session cyst -- secession gained ground. here is the key to understanding van lew fly fence by career. she did not see herself as someone who repudiated the confederacy or the south. instead, she believed that secessionists and con

there are some where they do do it. >> it says 1400 [indiscernible] liberia. prof. harris: about the time that andrew jackson is elected, they sent about 1400 of these back. there has been some good scholarship. you can read about interesting scholarship. there has been some great scholarship done about the, these former slaves who were sent back to liberia. this is what we were talking about, the disease, the starvation was overwhelming. it is hardly something comforting if you are being colonized into this place, and you are dying, and the mortality rate is extremely high. it is not something you want to pursue. the next one is if we have got a gradualist approach, it takes time to colonize, but there is another group of people, probably the most radical at the time. these are called the medies folks. these are what we call the abolitionist folks. they want to end slavery now. they don't want to colonize. they do not want a gradual approach. they want to do it now. abolitionists want to destroy the infrastructure of slavery , and they want to do it now. put someth

and then sent to liberia and then summoned back to richmond on the eve of the war. and this mary richards stayed one step ahead of the authorities as she worked in the richmond underground by using a series of aliases, including mary henley and mary jones. we fast forward to reconstruction. there we have letters in richards' own hand revealing to the friedman bureau that she had indeed served as a federal agent during the war. in other words, i was able to corroborate mary richards' story and map it on to the bowser story. but interestingly, and this is a sort of object lesson in what historians do and the sort of joys and pitfalls of our work the most striking single piece of evidence on mary richards is wartime exploits didn't come to light until after i published the book. and at some point you decide a book is done you move on. well, some years after i published my book about van lew, someone at the state library in virginia sent me a newspaper article from a new york newspaper. the anglo african, one of the premier african-american newspapers in the country, ne
