mr. douglass was reelected. but lincoln's words have made such a deep impact, that even though he loses the election, he wins national attention and suddenly people are asking all across the country, who is this man from illinois? who bearded stephen a douglas in his own then. who is this man, lincoln? but it would not be lincoln they would hear from next. oh no. the next voice would come from our old friend, john brown. and that's where we will pick up in our next hour. from a museum perspective, we like to think of it as a two football fields of education and entertainment. so it's a great hook for us to get people appreciating and understanding a little bit more, the history of the great lakes. so, we are on the pilot house deck of the colonel james schoonmaker museum ship which is the national museum of the great lakes largest artifact at 618 feet long. the schoonmaker was a commercial freighter from when he was built in 1911 until then went to a long term layup in the early 19 eighties and then became a mus

mr. douglass? douglass has to be careful how he answers that question, because if he says, no, i don't really believe that, every northerner will vote against him. but if he says, yeah i do believe that. i do believe slavery can be excluded by negative popular sovereignty he is losing every democratic voter in the south. can the people of a territory in any lawful way against the wishes of any citizen,o of the united states exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a state constitution? i answer emphatically as mr. lincoln heard me answer a hundred times. remember the stump in illinois, that in my opinion the people of a territory can by lawful means exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a state constitution. which pinpoint stephen a. douglass slit his throat politically, publicly, as far as any future support from southern democrats. it matters not what way the supreme court may here after decide. the people have the lawful means to introduce it or exclude it

mr. smith comes to washington. who knew that 2021 texas legislature on par with frederick douglass and the suffrage movement. it in the textbooks right now. apocalyptic. we are not talking about voter ids, voter identification for mail-in ballots. beefing up criminal penalties for election workers who break rules. we know dems don't like penalties, especially when you burn things. and adding an extra hour for early voting each day from 8 hours which is to 9 hours at a minimum. keep in mind. texas already has 17, 17 days of early voting on election day. good luck, texas voters. how are you going to find 15 minutes within 17 days in at least a nine-hour window each day, shear suppression. now, texas democrats will eventually have to come back and do their job. governor abbott can continue to call special sessions to force this vote. unless, of course, they plan to flee forever. so, why do they go through all that effort to stall the inevitable? because it's not just about the lone star state. the texas democrats fled the frontlines, they retreated from the voting right equivalent from the civil war. not to sur

the subject i'm addressing today is primarily frederick douglass and his ultimately antislavery interpretation of the constitution. it's an honor, mr. larsson, to speak to med madison fellows at the james madison foundation. i really enjoyed our taped interview we did this morning. jeffrey really read my book before he interviewed me. you could tell. believe me. he knew it better than i did at this point. [ laughter ] when they start asking you a question, you think, i didn't write that. then you realize that, apparently, i did. 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, b
