philadelphia's proximity to the mason dixon line, to that front deer -- frontier line made many block residents whether they were free or runaways from slavery seeking refuge in philadelphia, may philadelphia's many black residents attractive targets for professional kidnappers. professional people snatcher. they preyed on the members of this city's black community rerentlessly, putting bulls eyes on their backs, putting prices on their heads and the people they stole could fetch in louisiana and mississippi and alabama anywhere up to $15,000 per person in modern money. of course mississippi, alabama, louisiana, think of them on the map, the three of the new territory and states rising up along the gulf of mexico, along the gulf coast. and the american settlers swarming into territories and states like those three, needed and demanded, they said, a nearly bottomless supply of forced labor to cut sugar cane and to pick cotton. and it seemed they would take almost anyone to do that work, including children as young as ten-year-old cornelius sinclair. planters in the deep south may not h

mason-dixon poll biden beating trump in virginia and florida?> you have the impeachment backfire going on right now. the president is changing washington. as the democrats attacked him, he's gone up. now, the virginia poll is five pointswaas more. we may be ahead of biden. if we have the same turnout. we're ahead with independents and doing better with african americans in virginia and doing better with hispanics in florida. >> scott rasmussen, what is the problem in florida? he's up two. isn't that in the margin of error? >> the reality, it's going to be a close election. if it were today, we would be talking key swing states. the preseason is always had so far. the democrats are about to have their nomination process. as they go through this nomination procession, there's going to be a civil war. which side wins, how is the nomination handled. can you imagine what it looks t like if bernie sanders is denied the nomination and doesn't feel it's fair? in that case it doesn't matter who the nominee is. does get ahead of yourself. the voters haven

mason dixon also checked in on virginia. donald trump lost virginia by 6 points in 2016.ust as blue, maybe even more blue in 2020, but mason dixon finds sanders down 6 in virginia, warren down 2, buttigieg down 2, biden up by 4, the only democrat k leading in this poll. it's an outlier. maybe the other polls will find all the democrats doing better in virginia, maybe better in florida, too. it's not the only time we've found joe biden doing notably better with trump than any other democrats. it's been a pattern for months now. things can certainly change in politics but i wonder what effect this has on democratic voters in all those key early primary states. polls show they are much more concerned than usual about electability, about finding someone, anyone who can beat donald trump. and surely they see what we all see, poll after poll showing joe biden fairing better than any of his rivals against trump. it is unquestionably biden's biggest strength right now, the sense among democrats he's got the best chance of taking on trump. the candidates are going to spend it fran

the more vulnerable is the cvrr so he takes three brigades of cavalry and goes across the mason-dixon line into chambersburg. he wound up wrecking the cvrr at chambersburg. they will destroy the turntable, whatever rolling stock is still there. all the warehouses in and around the train station. chambersburg sees flames on the north side of town. for hours and hours as the area immediately around the railroad station burns to the ground. scotland. to go on to he hears the state militia coming after him and the regulars are coming after him. he will head towards gettysburg. he comes within six miles of hearing gettysburg before he turns south and heads back into virginia. stuart alarms the railroads here in pennsylvania. they realize exactly how vulnerable they are. we've already lost bridges. now we've lost rolling stock in the confederates have proven that a well-planned raid can reach the very heart of some of these northern railroads. of there some photographs taken of the confederates. to burn going chambersburg, rolling stock warehouses. this is what the town would have looked li

beyond that, there was an interesting poll that came out yesterday, a mason dixon poll earlier this week that has former vice president joe biden leading president trump in key battleground states like florida. meanwhile, the president beating senator elizabeth warren in a head to head matchup in florida. if you're the former vice president and you're continuing to lead in these national polls, he ended the year with a very consistent national polling average, and now has battleground polls to embolden that. the question for the biden campaign is how will his showing in iowa, in new hampshire, in south carolina, in nevada, and of course on super tuesday, how's that going to factor into potential momentum for his campaign or is senator bernie sanders who has been also remarkably consistent going to be able to steal an upset in one of those early caucus and primary states. biden and sanders ended the year very strongly. >> we ended the year also with biden and buttigieg, also about saying that he doesn't want his hypothetical son to be on a ukrainian board here. you've got some new reporti

according to company documents, we've seen the strategist is highlighting two polls for mason-dixon research and in florida. both of those polls show former vice president joe biden is the only democrat who can beat president trump. that is a central part of biden's page at any campaign event. he talks about wanting to bring back the middle class, help rural america, and his constant pitch he hammers home time is he believes he is the candidate who can actually beat president trump in a general election. rob? >> rob: ellison, thank you so much, in heigh in hampshire tod. >> julie: the stock market wrapping up in historic years, all three major entities finishing up the final trading day on a high note. the s&p 500 was up 29%, in 2019. it's best choice in 2013, in fact. the dow added 22%, and the nasdaq was up a whopping 35%. the dow actually hitting 22 record closes in 201 2019 thinko a resilient u.s. economy and a breakthrough in trade talks between washington and beijing. will the rally continue in 20 joined me now a certified public accountant, also business columnist for forbes and the h
