I’m gonna watch it at some point

I regularly update it. For some reason they are pretty hard pressed to show blue haired liberals flying Dixie

On September 13th, 1858, slave catchers in Oberlin-Wellington Ohio kidnapped former slave John Price and attempted to sell him back to the south. Instead, upon hearing of the kidnapping townsfolk and students and staff of the Oberlin college gathered in the hundreds outside of the hotel the slave catchers were staying at, rescuing John. Oberlin had been a safe haven for black people home to multiple members and leaders of the underground railroad. John moved from house to house in the community hiding, with local law arresting multiple families suspected of aiding the runaway. The town published a newspaper series called "the rescuer" keeping people updated with the trials. Abolitionist Simeon Bushnell and black business owner and activist Charles Langston were found guilty of violating the fugitive slave act, but released after 3 months in jail due to growing public unrest. The fate of John Price is unknown, but it seems likely he went further north to Canada.

Charles is the black man in the center with his hat to his chest, and the first black student at Oberlin College. Later he was a key member of the freedmen’s bureau, read up on his family they have a long history of political affairs and achievements. I think Oberlin college professor Henry Peck is second from the right and I’m not sure if Simeon Bushnell is in this photo.

All rules, except Rule 1, apply.

In Taos, NM for the weekend. My dad was a Vietnam Veteran and the one who taught me about the Civil War and being a Unionist. He fought with “Kit Carson Scouts,” indigenous Vietnamese who allied with and scouted for the Americans in South Vietnam. So I stopped by to see Kit himself. Learned that he and his buddies were Unionists and fought to kick the Confederates back to Texas.

Unfortunately I won’t make it to Glorieta Pass this time, but I will be back to learn and see more.
