there was no conspiracy to undermine freedom but that southern states and southern politicians on that new poll and they thought it important to get that history right because we live in a time where conspiracy theories are right and so it's probably good cyto have our facts straight. so you of course argue in this book and have argued earlier to that the 14th amendment is themost consequential . reconstruction amendment and i would like you to talkmore about that . especially given the fact as you mentioned earlier from and some others want to revoke its provision of national birthright. >> at one point i want to make to start with is that professor sinha here, i quote you where she says abolitionists hitched their star or whatever to black citizenship. that was a crucial question coming out of the civil war. slaves of course were not citizens, what about free african-americans ? white people born in the country were deemed to be citizens before the civil war. there was little question about that t. what their rights as citizens were was unclear but what about free african-americans a

they tolerated public expression the to a much greater extent than in the southern states. for white residents of the slave holding states, slavery served not only as a form of labor control, but also as the key to the south's social order. this is a very colorful slide that i think even everyone in the back with see, and it's the white class structure. only about one-third of white southern families owned slaves and most of those held fewer than five. all white southerners had a stake in the system of slavery. as white people, they belonged to the region's controlling class. white southerners were made equal by the fact of black slavery. for this reason and because of genuine fear of what would happen or should happen should large numbers of black people be freed in the house, they saw slavery as a necessary and benign institution reacting defensively from criticism from the north. >> we can argue either way and historians have that people were more alike or different. but i think often overlooked about similarities and differences between the sections is substantial number

cutting what across the sea of red of otherwise republican areas of the of the southern states of the u.s. and that matches very very closely with 75000000 albums as you say rocks laid down in the cretaceous chapter of earth's history and in that period of our past sea levels are much much higher and the ocean laptop run through the middle of the center of north america and so rocks laid down at that period were thick sediments of sea floor mud that have been buried and re exposed so that today those cretaceous rocks on this particular are and as realized in the early 18th hundreds that those cretaceous rocks when they give you when they break down into soil give you a very very rich fertile soil for growing cash crops like cotton and unfortunately that period of history growing cotton around the colonies meant slave labor people were thrown into chains taken from africa forced to work on plantations in and in the colonies of the americas and even today off of the hundreds of years of history and the civil war and mancipation from slavery and the civil rights movement the great

yesterday, you had three southern states say, listen, we're basically getting back to business.going to open restaurants. some are going to open beaches. some are going to open bowling alleys. now, it'll be a social debate about whether or not you social distance by staying at home versus returning to work. unfortunately, this has been the reality of our politics for some time. certainly getting more profound. a big problem is just where people are getting their information. the reality for your average republican is so much different than your reality for your average democrat. inevitably, it plays out in politics. even when most people have been making responsible decisions that aren't based on politics but protection for their family, but it always tends to evolve into this. the next couple weeks, you'll see the toxicity of politics, unfortunately, return. >> who does this ugly side of politics, who does it benefit when we are inside of an election year? >> the problem is, you don't know. look at president trump's favorable ratings. they're basically exactly where they were b
