the power has been fb that's true as the threats in this electorate and there certainly is a forbearance and streams and also changed the air force later overshadowed this suddenly a non slaveholding former slaves were some really nice on those who are watching all or destroyed he says

the law are rao says as a whole because why that's us and you witness all right what this is

wahl and fog feeling that the questions that are desperate and they are at the heart of the reconstruction is the key the picture's still morris time has been going on for nearly forty years and the nation has lost equivalent to the population five million people die of course and

there is something like losing a little lost in the world trade center attack every for foreigners and so that this is on top by us and in addition to that it's clear first time that there's been more the united states assuming that and it's clear that one of the consequences so we oh

please all right all income success staff to our various people haven't is right the first word slaves began to disappear into lebanon are enslaved people began to know fields in the woods here in the camps so it's a culmination of all the process isn't going on but it's also appreciate all the civil war is concentration and slinky into a prophecy

soprano or four years before now when he shows the president has a christmas and so you have united states for a march on the streets of a major sentencing enslaved people cheered and fall and seasonal ferments and while senators can only stand watch <unk> transformed by mrs deliverance from outside so it is long's that's right lesley marr and slightly undeniable the senate

appears as this is says when he realizes there's a narrative that there's support and that it's clear that ensures that religious you know an arrest in all says well you can see are really window says reflect people are two genes the powerless and the uk do you say to all those hostilities they say it's a freedom that if they will allow or will maybe human to make friends so it's not clear they'll be a

permanent change no president has no merit it's a huge deal and nowhere else is with no compensation this little image and utah writes so you have a press it was law now let's talk about people at the time was the

south korean based on just that vast classroom loans and destiny the arch insurance policies salt based on slippery slope question not only is the psychological and political movement so that we have over three and half million enslaved people in the south and their average price is a thousand dollars in eighties you can easily see over three billion dollars and eighty six dollars they use and since last year with the season

ms joy oh it's ok so that imagines what they recognize that this was a class that sixty billion dollars over three million people or a thousand dollars each and a converse really showed up one dollar trillion dollars proposed billion dollars that i think well

yes shannon had decided that usually more that you have to take on worker in the south to make it clear to us assistant lauren now even though the law allows so yes they recognize wharton drops a heart and so in september sixty four teams to march and the

whole idea was to do this the heat still veterans day one more thing where you walk through you resist remained steady and you know we don't allow any soldiers behind esquire now south koreans alcohol incidents is discouraging see because if only people brown remembers it and where are you who is it she wants to see are you nervous after sec and

cause insecurity to inflict damage on houses and property and to feed itself above the livestock and then cross a long way so yes it sounds almost a little lenny was there we just walking a major cities in the us has the keys now and it turns up all i begin to say now the new lanes entire cost of war and it's also one of the last states and sara martinez carolina is that place again and why mr

langston hughes it's a disruption and those things the film's smugness it is mr ausmus it is and as that actually i would say that we

are marching people are beginning to see some people insane penaloza is the imagination is as light completes a lot of construction now of course i'm sitting there in his annual letter was an army officer and take your hand and taste it feels like it feels like a stretch no one in here this august last year an agency protecting slaves here all things punk plantation you know the us won the us are politically it's not really anything law pharmacies

so seriously now civilian loss of life all know was that is that it's that attacker rooms has lasted so long yeah we last show all right so these days

became he says it was by this is war why is that

he's on its face as our our border new leaders and for an issue or are there is forty years he says which we associate with these revolution at us who worked on it and he sees the last fall as a nuisance and as an active military success so the day we were uneasy draw war to libya and all of her illnesses and latinos says act

it has been is he that are pressing than just how sour or first place the sauce and secure place that stretches from diversity we're outside the washington dc auto plants of texas and then as a landscape and why our state for obama trying to counter apple falling feels and because we few lines only coffee says they were a state in billings

for us that one and dan's was in virginia with only instead they had a dinner for four years and was in the basement was a place anywhere near la to be a lot that's going to go far far cook the meal you're just here so investigate and refining were foreigners the line all those reporters that were you know where you know you figure play soccer he says you know and so this

word and so on the laws were no this is the why is mississippi but also you just said yet whatsapp one when you get in the basic upkeep of the house all right so even had been partially your army to duplicate the sound as a whole have already been damaged recently years

of transportation and for all he has a castle subpoenas issued just a lot of bad say moses thousand and it's hard to do when you are on a land to fiji and there is it has saved lives with this nominee and tornoe dress yourself a curtain raiser is the very fabric of life has been a massive u r and slippers and so the union army comes you're

free you know when you have a clothes literally may op media and ruin your freedom too so does the entire law the town they cross the caribbean set bb seasons were inside our feeds anti aircraft guns so this really elevated he says

they are there you figure the parks and so we did this is all why is that when he passes those generalizations he was blue now he has

she is you know you with so many car so he says if he told a crowd last hours at sixty one their babies to work this is what he

has to say you're looking for a vast expansion of the vast expanses going to certain death there was no color no question yes i think that that says something that people have imagined would come to pass that you're going to help us out he's wise he said

it he said in a good glass owners will turn what we didn't know is that there was a sea change in heart wants and so we believe the same things city this is npr at city hall i'm arun rath the issue worse

people that four years ago she nearly anyone any other park or glass us weller says nothing in new ways says think of us think of it as a workplace actually at sixty nine pictures society that are so when the fire reaches the science in world war ii and i think it's you

pass the sound was not backward societies while he sits in fact they were remarkably how they are since the confidence or arrogance he isn't world depends on what we produce he says they're trying to see their work this can last mrs this machine to end assassin you will allow other scientists usually be an assassin lead this society rail transportation shoddy and showed us all the things that makes it feel this cool importance of

excellence another one this is the slave society in recent masters and slaves are moving right now you know the signs jean ritchie longhorns and city planners actually and france working you have planters and slaves living along and you also have a three fourths of sayings yes one person so it's a really complicated this is business so far

mr roberts see nass says us relations there it is hi mara not less so the plantation call these women they are they say for the fall so the midwest and we're the major supplier of fat beats he says the challengers in the

city more harassing new president except one more than a slip or is it go betweens so sauer us citizens we'll ask the police forces and so the sixty four you're fine romney are

from the reasons the issue is still and shatter me it's both it's been it's busy this is

it is it is uncertain now and for the kid the policy christians and

here we are thats based on christian ideals taking care of passengers this or not those people are showing that translates to proceed to that meeting and nearly the same time say are you it was a show that was it finally today

and so what's that was american press into shop run this until and so i always generations it's shop by that the seasonal as the christians christians than they are fooling you things there is the site so while people

who have owned slaves now slavery as humane as they could we certainly are this system sees the most is that they are there and so they have to explain why things and where they are and why you know so and slavery well nice job meanwhile senators are intense

maybe this is just a fly out to see we're really hostile and so you had both a black and white southerners in the same book looking to the same standard of truth and what's in those that we should do shows and shanahan is a war crime he is it's

been the piece he says of all the white settlers

making sixty four into sixty five silent black soldiers was the greatest frauds in violent at recess of the last hour and shaky first of all i mentioned on the wind conditions worsen inequality and their informed of the country are going up here in the us the centers for the colonists these blind in newton slaves only eighteen months earlier there is now they have power they have therefore they have us are willing to please so the sec and bonnie lass o progress here you know

that i'm here is that we are you know morris says and sea and cbs soon says along our in house long way given it's a lot he's no
