the thing about timothy meaher and timothy foster, they couldn't have done so without the support of the kings. they could not do what they did without the support and the facilitation of people like the amazonians and the army that sank that village. so when we look at greed, greed comes in many colors. we have to remember that, because we get caught up with superficiality about who is supporting us and who does not. we have to pay attention to that. of course, we have to look for that within ourselves. where is the greed and glory in me? where am i striving for something that is not my due, not my right. who am i taking advantage of to get to this point or that point? this bet that timothy meaher made is just another indication of the arrogance of the man. now, the bet says that i can, within two years -- this is 1858. i can within two years bring in a ship load of africans and force them into servitude and nobody would be hanged for it. this is important. nobody would be hanged for it. why is that a concern? well, the u.s. constitution stated in 1807 that international trafficking

timothy and foster, they took them to court. timothy's case was dismissed. william foster's case didn't make it, it was thrown out. so we have these examples of white arrogant men who believe they are above the law. we see why this is a problem and why we have to look at it because this is not new. we hear it today, but it is not new. the idea that you can do whatever you want to whomever you want. the fact is that they get away with it. [applause] this is part of our american heritage that we have to do something about. this is not the america we want. this was the kind of constitutional act that bans trafficking. which he did not adhere to, did not want to. the thing about it that the enforcement of the law is so difficult because so many people thought just like timothy meaher. the customs officers, senators and judges saw it just like this. there is so much in terms of this ideology. like, this is what people learn. this is what people heard in church. this is what people heard in their social gatherings and groups. this is what the scientists are saying

paul: timothy. thank you very much. timothy, thank you very much. having heard from the lawyer on our panel, we will move to the historians. first person who will speak is the professor. >> thank you, paul. i want to look at the question of the pro-slavery constitution. from the point of view of the slave holders, which is not often a point of view considered in many of these discussions. and there, they discovered they too did not believe that a pro slavery constitution. it was one of the primary arguments that slave holders used in the secession winter of to justify the secession of the slave states. the they reneged on constitution. it was impossible to deny that the slaves had value. that they were property. were protected and territories owned by the common government. even though the constitution has you off at every step, the north was persistent. this was a rampart that sheltered slaveowning's. as far asck ratification. the new constitution provided a security that the general government can never emancipate slaves. because no such authority

i want to make sure timothy meaher wins that bet. he tells the interpreter to get him individuals from four or five different tribes so that way, he would have less of a chance of a mutiny upon return because they did not speak the same language. and then he said for every man, get me a woman, and for every little boy, get me a girl. if you look to the right, you will see a bridge suspended like a ship. the clotilda was a two mast ship that bridge was constructed in 1995. prior to that bridge, we had a little two lane bridge that would take us to the eastern shore. it crosses the mobile river. captain foster is at the dock in the kingdom of dahomey, in the process of leaving, and some of the enslavers started to retrieve some of the individuals they had sold them and captain foster had to leave in a hurry. he actually left about 20. so he's returning with 110 illegally kidnapped individuals. somebody leaked to the custom agents on the docks that someone was trying to sneak in 100 illegally kidnapped individuals, so they were on the l

timothy, the ball is in your court. >> thank you so much, paul. well, since you and i are both lawyers, i will approach this in a law really argument, in the way the anti slavery constitutional did, and i want to emphasize, this is an aspect of american history that has unfortunately downplayed to the point that a lot of people, including law students, graduate from school on aware that there even was a tradition of pro-constitution, and tight slavery thought in the years leading up to the civil war. the foremost famous of this being fredericton, close but he wasn't the only one. even john quincy adams, or charles sumner, or chase were to one degree or another were adherence to this pro-constitution anti slavery view, and unfortunately, today's history distorts the record by emphasizing the abolitionist which was the group of abolitionist who thought the constitution wasn't evil pro slavery document, and therefore it should be abolished. these people had very little influence on american political and legal development in the civil war era, and i

joining us now is timothy o'brien. are you at all surprised given the tactics he's deploying?seems like it is straight from his play book? >> donald trump has been a human billboard his entire career. he sold the idea that his name stands for a series of meyths about his business success or about his wealth that he had success which he didn't and he was a self-made man who did not relied on his father's wealth, also not true. in the wake of the election, emotionally and psychologically, he could not accept the notion that he lost. he grew up where his father telling him there are winners and losers and nothing in between. he could not come to terms with that. he's facing league hurdles. i think he's engaging in this absurdity of the election being rigged and fraudulent to show up those things but what he discovered is it turned out to be a money making exercise, he turned election fraud making into a grift and in less than two months, he raised over $200 million. any of his supporters who really think this money is going to be used to wage a war for cleaner elections and overt

so, next question, thanks, timothy, is if i have any comments on the history of our understanding of the prevalence of slavery in new england. i don't know if by that you mean what other historians have said about it. certainly, you know, it's been well known that there was slavery in new england of both native and african kinds. i would say that more recently historians have really taken this subject more seriously, and there are a couple great books about africans in new england published recently. those were very helpful to me. there is a historian, wendy warren, who estimates there were maybe about a thousand african slaves across new england by the year 1700. my hunch is that's probably an underestimate. both boston and newport rhode island were significant ports for slavery. there is actually even one slave ship that -- the history is a little bit murky. there is a ship named the elizabeth in the early 1680s. i'm trying to remember which western plymouth colony town it put into. it might have been bristol. so i think in general this is a subject that is getting more attention.
