uh... you know pretty knowledgeable about what's going on around america and
what people are thinkin then what
people think our history is an high didn't know those and this this is just
you're gonna find this amazing
so just hang on for the next
yes five-six eight minutes here let me share this with you
first of all we've got this whole second them in thing going on
right this whole those old democrat is you know it's
and
day
e accidentally
we reward the chair of got appreciation day brought
the room what i want to share with you into into sharp relief on c_n_n_ today
uh... he was being interviewed and here's what he had to say visit you know
program guide
if african-americans
had been given
keep and bear arms from day one of of the country's founded
perhaps leverage might not
being a chapter in our history
effort americans
were
brought here as slaves in captain slavery
so
there's not a relationship between the two slaves by definition don't have
don's
he's actually getting really close to the real truth of the second amendment
and again it if they have a mentioned this yesterday to uh... tell our parents
as a producer here who
shared with the car all table this is a doctor doctor but it is really has been
delayed u_s_
uh... uh...
prefer roger williams university a lot of schools laws so see a professor
by his book the hidden history the second memo which iraq in its entirety
today
and i pulled out about on our fifteen twenty pages of excerpts and i wanted to
share with some others
with you this is why there was a second then
seventeen eighty seven
the constitution was written
seventeen eighty eight it was being sold to the states in the states reading
meetings to decide whether or not to ratify it was all billy ratified
seventeen eighty-nine
and then
in seventeen eighty nine ninety one dot nineteen ninety one the the the
amendments were added to it the uh... the
uh... first m_m_ the bill of rights
so that's that's the time i saw in june of seventeen seventy eight
uh... in richmond virginia the the delegates of virginia got together and
decide whether or not they were in a vote for this constitution
which one of their own james madison was out aggressively promoting
and they had
some concerns mirror people from other states were visiting as well
and in fact many of the southern states are kind of you know talking to each
other about this at the time
and in here as advice share some quotes
from these meetings that were happening in seventeen eighty eight the actual
people the actual of legislate ors
the first is from pierce butler of south carolina
he said the security
the southern states want
is that they're negroes not be taken from them
which sucked
some gentleman with the n_ or without doors have a very good mind to do
the richest arken about slavery
heee impede their there did the states were concerned that the constitution
would allow the northern states to end slavery was other states
william l_ smith
of south carolina
he said if these amendments are adopted they will go great way and preventing
congress
now appear he started with the segment
because the second i meant by mpeg actually in in a way i'm giving you the
that the the the
the closing argument on this before giving you the argument that
uh... basically that he hears the here's the argument in nashville
the sacramento was put in a place to preserve slavery for the south
that's why it's there
and and away most of the south carolina delegates
he said it these amendments are adopted they will go go a great way in
preventing congress in interfering with our negroes after twenty years
keep in mind uh... the constitution actually ended
the importation of slaves in eighteen oh eight and said no more taxes on slaves
dating awake
founders the people who wrote it actually thought that that would end
slavery in eighteen oh eight
which is basically twenty years after eighteen eighty eight
story here's but in any case is
if he's a manager adopted go great with the vetting congressman interfering
after twenty years otherwise they may even
within the twenty years by stream construction some power embarrass us
very much of the reasons slavery
the revolution had changed america because the the northern states were
were banning slavery like there was no tomorrow
uh... if the americans had embraced this all men are created equal idea on which
we based our slavery
that doctor samuel johnson
uh... it was from the north and was anti slavery he made the comment
how is it that the loudest yelp spur liberty come from the drivers of slaves
vermont headband slavery in seventeen seventy seven they even though they were
not in a state pennsylvania rhode island in new york all at the gradual
legislation of slavery in seventeen seventy seven seventy seventy eight
uh... two prominent citizens a new york founded a group called the new york
society prefer
for promoting the menu mission of slaves that deliberate liberation slaves
the first two presidents of the group were first john j
our first spring for justice
and one of the authors of the constitution and then secondly alexander
hamilton
southerners were very very worried that the northerners were going to blow up
the uh... the slave business
and this is now there's a quote from the book this is the spoke to him as desired
amount a crowbar risk
uh... uh... virginia was a slave was a state living in perpetual fearfully
forty four percent of urging his total population was black in some areas
particularly eastern part of the state blacks constitute the majority
whites were ever mindful that if the right opportunity profanities present
itself blacks might cut their heads off this is not hyperbole on a sunday
morning in september two seventeen thirty nine for example a group about
twenty blacks broke into a store near stone does south carolina per guns in
powder they decapitated the two white storekeepers display in their heads on
the front steps and then headed south sakina burning homes in killing whites
on their way a march twelfth line banners being drums and calling out
liberty to attack attract more slaves to the rebellion or you want to counter
numbers increased quote increased every minute by new negroes coming to them so
that they were above sixty some say a hundred end quote
but for a coincidence the rebellion may have grown considerably larger and
perhaps even succeeded but by chance the lieutenant governor of south carolina
road within eyesight of the rebel group on his way of charleston with four other
men
as best events can be reconstructed that lieutenant governor race to a
presbyterian church in will town which was in the midst of sunday services
uh... this is why planters
by four o'clock in the afternoon summer between twenty and one hundred armed and
nodded militiamen attacked the rebel group
above forty four blacks in twenty one whites died in the ensuing battle
as a warning against future insurrection is the malaysian decapitated black
rebels
and place their heads quote
up at every mile post they come to they came to end quote
so you know every one of the south in the story of the style rebellion
in fact it wasn't just one one researcher identified over two hundred
fifty rebellions each involving more than ten slaves
one scholar noted slavery was not only in economic and industrial system in
more than that it was a jar edge i am police system
and the basic instrument of control was called the slave patrol
also referred to as
film alicia
the these malaysia patrols make sure that blacks were not wondering where
they did not belong
gathering groups are engaged in a suspicious activity virginia south
carolina and george are all had well regulated slave patrols but in eighteen
seventy is century eighty two seventeen hundreds
the patrols have become the responsibility of the malaysia
georgia pass laws in seventeen fifty five and seventy fifty-seven
for example carefully dividing militia districts and indiscreet patrol areas
the georgia laws required patrols to examine every plantation every month and
authorize the patrols the malicious to search quote all negro houses for
offensive weapons and ammunition and apprehending give twenty lashes to
enslave found outside plantation grounds
and south
and employed mothers in the south
these enticed me babies patrols to stop
slave rebellions more of a violation
dot gotta have explained at the break had james madison change the sacramento
to go from
for the security of a free nations of the security of the free states
dissatisfied georgia and virginia right after this
this is the common hartman program
the second amendment was put into place
to preserve slavery for the southern states and get them to sign on a
ratified the constitution
