The Tension Between LIBERTY and SLAVERY at America’s Founding | Edward Larson
Edward Larson is a lawyer, historian, professor, and Pulitzer-Prize winning author.
A distinguished professor at Pepperdine University, his most recent work, American Inheritance explores the tension between liberty and slavery in America’s founding era.
In this episode, Professor Larson and I discuss:
The importance of April 19th, the day on which the American Revolution formally began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord; The reasons why the American Revolutionary War was fought; If we’re deserving of our inheritance of freedom; The merits of the NYT’s 1619 Project; Did the colonists revolt in order to preserve the institution of slavery?; George Washington’s pear-shaped body; Benjamin Franklin’s swimming routine; The Boston Massacre; Crispus Attucks; John Adams; The use of Propaganda–from the Founding up through the modern day; The Constitution–should we like it? Dislike it? The Scopes Monkey Trial; Transgenderism, Climate Change, and abortion: The great Scientific-Moral debates of our age…
And MUCH more!
