Thanks, again, for filling in more details.Shays really was a sad case. I had always read that the continental army, and state militias were paid with land in the west (that Ohio River valley).

2017-06-22 03:11:15 +0000 UTCI guess because the idea that there needed to be a compromise itself is pretty damn racist, and racism was one thing both slave states and free states could unite on. It doesn't really make it less racist that the free states were the ones who didn't want to count slaves
Iain Docherty
2017-06-19 11:02:12 +0000 UTCBecause slavery is a horrible blight whose grievous effects are still tearing my country apart today, and it's a travesty that at one point we enshrined an idea that largely amounted to "black people are only worth 3/5 of a person" in the foundational document of our country. It immediately highlights the hypocrisy built into the Constitution of a nation which would claim to secure freedom for its citizens while outright denying the human value of an entire group of people most in need of such protection.
Extra History
2017-06-19 06:49:54 +0000 UTCNope, it specifies that the 3/5 count applies to "those bound to service."

2017-06-19 06:43:51 +0000 UTCI'm glad! I really enjoy it too. We're going to try having me interview James for the next one.

2017-06-19 06:42:39 +0000 UTCConsidering James will have to find this one instead of me, I can't either. >:)

2017-06-19 06:42:22 +0000 UTCIts only for enslaved people. I am curious about her reasoning for not liking the compromise. The complaint about worth is the most common objection is in regards to human worth, but that tends to be a silly complaint. If it was valid, you would expect those in favor of abolition to want slaves to count as a full person and for slaveholders to want them to count for none. However its the opposite, where slaveholders really wanted the extra votes that were not theirs to give.

2017-06-17 20:12:59 +0000 UTCUm, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the 3/5ths compromise also applied to free people of color, not just enslaved people?

2017-06-17 16:34:50 +0000 UTCI like this interview format, allows for a lot more detail than just straightforward listing of mistakes/things left out

2017-06-17 14:22:51 +0000 UTCConsidering it's already on my to-do list for one-offs, I'd recommend picking something that isn't on there yet!

2017-06-17 05:57:59 +0000 UTCI agree Shays Rebellion and the Vermont Republic together as a one off! I'm suggesting that next time suggestions are asked for

2017-06-17 03:55:49 +0000 UTCI'll let them Know when I see them again next Week and I can guarantee that their response shall be the...err... "Immortal" Words: "Baaaaaaaaahh!!!" π

2017-06-16 22:55:15 +0000 UTC*Probably* next weekend, but I (Soraya) won't be around, so it's gonna depend on how self-sufficient James and Dan are feeling.
Extra History
2017-06-16 22:41:10 +0000 UTCYeah, the interview format has been great but the fact that we're talking things out (instead of James listing things in a more straightforward way) does mean that they've gotten longer and longer. Or maybe I'm just bad at self-editing! Anyway, we're settling into the format.

2017-06-16 22:40:46 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy it!

2017-06-16 19:44:45 +0000 UTCLittle late, but it takes time to do a long Lies episode
Jonathan Luoto
2017-06-16 19:26:11 +0000 UTCIt's the same as always! The Lies episode is always on Week 7, it's just that if the series is only four episodes long (like this one was) there's going to be two one-offs in between. Hello to the sheep!
Extra History
2017-06-16 18:52:25 +0000 UTCThis Episode has been a bit slow in coming. My Sheep extend their Greetings unto you, or at least I Think they do, but then again it's a bit tricky understanding the language of the Sheep if you're a Human.
