They all understood this, especially Washington.
And I have to say, I never heard that.
Never heard that in school.
You'll never hear it on PBS.
Um,
this is very important that we understand who we are and how we got here.
And, you know, that's what the book is about.
I mean, listen, one of the stories, and I know we won't have time today, maybe you can have me back, because one of the things that blew my mind was the Boston Puritans, okay, John Adams, Samuel Adams, James Otis Jr.
Adams says that his argument in court in 1761 was the opening scene of the revolution.
They were all so...
dramatically anti-slavery that it just blows your mind that we kind of act, oh, the founders were pro-slavery.
They were so anti-slavery.
That story, I mean, again, my book's not about that, but I mentioned that.

of the ones leading this is so dramatic and they were so bitterly anti-slavery.
They had to swallow the evil pill in 1787 of, okay, if we want a union, I guess we have to allow this, but we hate it.

It's why I wrote the book and I will shamelessly beg people, this is the opening week
please, if you're thinking of buying the book, please buy it immediately because there's some other books out there.
