The Abolitionists, a PBS American Experience series.
And very, very far from allowing any sort of moral equivalence to obtain between these folks and the slave owners and their broader alliance, the opponents of the abolitionists all over the country, including the mobs of the North.
Who, watching this, does not see that struggle as continuous with the struggles not only of the Civil War, but also of Reconstruction, and of the Civil Rights Era?
Or the struggle even today?
Oh, and last night there was the chilling Hitler on Trial, also on amazon video.
Also, in its way, the same struggle.
For liberté, égalité, and fraternité.
