You usually don’t find true history of Irish slavery in America unless you look directly for it!

I don’t think it is any coincidence that he was a plain country lawyer to begin with. Maybe he was our (the U.S.) first fully modern citizen.

I’m doing research on Elizabeth Keckley and would like to see a blog entry on her. Although redeemed by modern historians, I think her legacy is controversial to say the least and needs further explanation and analysis.

An unrehearsed expression, act of equality.
