this was the first time that enslaved african people sold in new england. and this was 1638. so remember, talked about kind of all of these dates, 16, 19, 16, 27 with new york and now 1638 here with the desire. now this becomes the policy. this becomes something that people are looking to do. they start to see how this is a way both dispossess indigenous people of their of their homelands and also make some money and be kind of a lasting way to to claim the land and so i want to talk a little bit about how they did this right. so is an idea that people start think that the european colonies start to think is a good policy and so they decide to to start doing this in subsequent wars. in fact, in 1940, it's in 1646 and 1946. this is a long over, thank goodness. but in 1646, it was just it becomes the official policy in new england and in fact, master massachusetts, not south carolina, not north carolina, not, you know, virginia. massachusetts was first colony to set up the first legal precedent around slavery in the north and in the english north american colonies. and that prec

it wasn't you talked about that many new england enslavers. we're not interested in baptizing their enslaved people. they were really reluctant to do so and can anyone think of the reason they would be reluctant do this? yeah. religious arguments. yeah, right. there was still debate and worry that having a christian person and then keeping them enslaved in was wrong, morally wrong, right. this people start kind of engage with these arguments and say, well, no, you can have a christian slave. and in fact, one of those people was cotton mather. remember, we encountered him and we will encounter him again. we talk about the witch trials earlier when he's saying, ha, those jamaicans got what they deserved. right. you know the the the the the port royal earthquake was god's judgment. well, he decided to wade into foray of talking about anti-slavery as well and in 1706 he publishes his tract the -- christianize which included a catechism for slave conversion. he was like no, no, no. there's no problem if we just basically people then it's going be a

and that was the new england puritans, because the new england puritans came here unlike any other settlement in north america, or for that matter, in almost any of the american continents. they came here as a conscious intellectual exercise. they came here for religious reasons, but they were religious reasons which had very strong intellectual structures to them. these puritans wanted to found settlements. they wanted to found a colony, the massachusetts bay colony, but they also wanted to create a college. and that, of course, was harvard college in the 1630s. and the kind of college that harvard immediately really set up to become was a college very similar to the colleges and universities that you would find in the europe that they had left behind, which in england would either be oxford or cambridge, which on the continent might be the university of paris, the university of bologna, the university of pisa all across europe. these colleges taught a curricula them in which the central part was the teaching of the six liberal arts. they were not teaching you technology. they were not teach

it's a capital offense in new england from 1641, number eight, prohibit sodomy. if man lives with mankind as he lay it with a woman, both of them had committed abomination. they both shall surely be put to death. why do you put a law like this on your books. because it's happening. yeah i mean, even if we didn't have these cases, i think the mere fact that we have this law tells us that it is. it is indeed. it is indeed happening. and and a lot of these cases involve who are the ones that are that we know about, what kinds of what kinds of it's almost always men are being investigated and what just generally speaking, what do you know about them? lena it's usually a higher status with lower status, yes, higher status. this is this is really significant. officers in particular, we see on you at sea and they don't tend to be, you know, if they're having you consensual sex with other we don't hear about it who do we hear about who is complaining. the bit younger their subordinates essentially yeah especially boys the families of of of cabin boys and so forth they're

it's actually astonishing how many new england homes had slaves. when adams marries for adams has two wives, the first wife dies very early after she has two children and he will wait actually seven years until he remarries and at the time of the second marriage, his first mother in law will try send the new couple, an enslaved woman, which was a not a typical wedding gift at the time. and adams balks at the idea and says syria she's named can come and live with us, but she must only come as a free woman, which indeed is what happens. she becomes a very close member of the household and there are a number of points where petitions will circulated. well, efforts will be made in massachusetts to object the stamp trade to the stamp to the slave trade. and adams is clearly a point person for these petitions. nothing, obviously, of them. later, when constitution comes to massachusetts to be ratified, he will hesitate. and actually most people think he's not to ratify and. one of his objections is that is that the document not include a bill of rights be

in other words think about new england puritans for a minute. you are not so stained and depraved from your sin nature. that you can't rise above it. and make something of yourself. you are not stuck in some type of a conservative caste system in which your bloodline determines whether or not you will be successful or not. if you reject that idea. you have drunk deeply. from the well, if you will of the enlightenment, so imagine, you know, imagine like a medieval peasant. okay, a medieval peasant pretty how does a medieval peasant just take a guess. how does a medieval peasant spend his or her day? so if you've studied medieval history, jack fields working in the field, right dylan you what dad to that. i was gonna say the same thing quietly. he's usually on a plow right or behind a horse. right plowing sowing reaping agricultural stuff, right? no medieval peasant say 18 to 22 year old medieval peasant is out there in the field saying. i may be on the field now, right but one day my kids they're going to go to college, you know, they're gonna be

host: were these trials well-known throughout new england? stacy: one of the lousy things about 1692 is no newspapers. it was known by word-of-mouth and people were worried in their communities because accusations had spread to those communities but there is no news account as we would understand it which could be disseminated. an interesting part of that year, one of the parts of that story was how much oral culture and internet culture have in common and how quickly the news and reputation could be spread and decimated. many of the people the girls accused of witchcraft were people he had never met so when the accusations come to their doorstep, they were flabbergasted. host: true or false -- ben franklin was not in the colonies during the entirety of the revolutionary war. stacy: that was quite a transition. that was true. he leaves when the revolutionary wet -- when that revolution begins but doesn't return until 1785. for those years, he is based in paris. host: what was his role? stacy: when congress declares independence, it has a prob

we in florida like you have no income tax, your new england neighbor should try it sometime it works out pretty well when you don't have an income tax. [applause] my state of florida has millions of more people now than the state of new york does, that is a recent change. even though we have millions more people, new york state budget is over twice the size of the budget of the state of florida. yet our roads are better, our services are better, our education system performs better. what are they doing with all that money that they are taxing people and spending people with, we have a record of budget surplus. at last year the budget surplus for florida was $23 billion, that's more than the budget of many states in this country. we have the second lowest per capita debt burden anywhere in the country, last year because i have a line item veto power -- veto power that i think all governors should have in the president should have. we vetoed 3% of the budget. $3.3 billion of wasteful spending that we lined out to make sure that we have a strong surplus. we are right on fiscal, they are

i say when it comes to freedom in new england, new hampshire has no fear, so congratulations on doing what is right. [applause] butt the reality is throughout our country we are engaged in a battle to preserve the cause of liberty. ronald reagan used to say that freedom is only one generation away from distinction. that is not something that's passed along. must be cultivated and it must be protected. and i must say for most of my adult life i appreciated the sentiment. i thought it was a little bit of hyperbole. after all we are americans, right? isn't freedom in our dna?ed i got to tell you i don't thank you could have lived through the last few years and think that president reagan was wrong. he was right. freedom is fragile. it can be squandered and we are very proud in florida earning the moniker of the free state of florida that was not preordained. .. i got elected governor in 2018 by 32,000 votes out of more than 8 million votes cast. at less than one half of 1% was my margin of victory and to be honest, that was not out of character for florida. the previous decade, if you lo

war on american energy and begin the process of expediting construction of new gas pipelines to new englandn, you pay the highest prices in the country. for a long time the democrats in new york wouldn't allow a pipeline to go through from where they were coming through new york state where they could really use the jobs into new england. you know where you get your energy from? russia. they have russian ships out there and get a pipeline going through a place in new york state that needs it so badly, they need the jobs, this would be a positive. and you don't see it it's underground and the environmentalists and governors and once you get that done -- and i will do it. we'll do whatever you have to do. i'll get it done. [cheers and applause] a simple pipeline. new york has fought it off for years. not going to happen. your prices will drop in half. you are paying so much higher than anybody else. that's the reason. we love new york other than that. but now they have to do that. they have to do that. we are all part of a team and if you want to buy a karin term combustion engine or hybrid o
