then when you go to colonial north america, you see the story of freedom through the sorts of rebellion. i say that because agency is important, that african-americans, african-americans in south america and north america, have been fighting for freedom all along. black agency is important. as you enter the section on the coming of war, we talk about abolitionist' efforts. we would not be -- we would be remiss if we did not talk about collaborations to end debris -- and slavery. you have questions like john brown, william lloyd garrison, but then you have someone like david white. he was one of those free soil is, and he was fighting against slavery, and he had his own reason during that cap this. -- kansas period. mob any we doby a talk about how many people gave for this cause to end slavery. there could be very least -- there could be various reasons some feel it is morally wrong. host: let's go to chanel from bakersfield, california. caller: good evening. caller:good evening, and thank you ms. elliott for just your passion and the eloquence with .hich you describe the exhibit i have

sugar is the dreifort trade and we know sugar was produced in different parts of north america, louisiana included, you think in south america and the caribbean, people look at how many people came to north america. 400,000. 3 million to brazil, right. on that chase the we have in the chase a rustic sugar pot that was used to boil charlottetown sugar canadian. it's surrounded by faux sugar but we were label to many work with people who loaned us beautiful itemsy will lated to sugar. these are all juxtaposed and when you read the label the more that the rate was seven years so if you think of the economy in north america, you think of the crop systems in north america and have you sugar. you have rice. you have cotton. you have tobacco. you have wheat, right? of and there's this sense of having longer life span, depending on the crop system. in south carolina though i can't kenai there's a seven-year life span there because sugar, cotton, rice was a very demanding crop, right, and then north americans also, i hate to use the word, perfected a way to retain their. human property, and that i
