| 00:00:00 | SORT OF STOLE MY THUNDER IN EMPHASIZING THE LEVEL OF RACISM, THE AMOUNT OF RACISM IN THE NORTH. |
| 00:00:06 | AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT TODAY AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE CENTENNIAL, WE TEND TO MINIMIZE, WE HAVE A LITTLE DIFFICULTY FOCUSING ON EMANCIPATION AS AN IMPORTANT MOMENTUM IN THE WAR, AND EVEN THE END OF SLAVERY AS AN IMPORTANT OUTCOME. |
| 00:00:21 | BUT I THINK WE DON'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME SORT OF APPRECIATING JUST THE KIND OF RACISM IN THE NORTH. |
| 00:00:28 | AND I WAS THINKING, PUTTING TOGETHER MY BREAKOUT SESSION ON TUESDAY, I DECIDED TO FOCUS ON NORTHERN RACISM ON THE EVE OF EMANCIPATION. |
| 00:00:38 | AND DID A LITTLE READING. |
| 00:00:39 | I WAS STRUCK BY THE KINDS OF SCENARIOS THAT MANY POLITICIANS AND OTHER WRITERS SKETCHED OUT. |
| 00:00:45 | IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE IN THE NORTH IF WE FREE THE SLAVES. |
| 00:00:50 | AND THEY SOUND QUITE A BIT LIKE SOME OF THE MOST FEARFUL SOUTHERNERS ON THE EVE OF THE WAR DURING THE ELECTION. |
| 00:00:57 | WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A REPUBLICAN GETS INTO POWER. |
| 00:01:00 | AND IN SORT OF FOCUSING ON THAT RACISM, I THINK IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND THE BROADER -- THE LONG-TERM STRUGGLES FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS THAT THIS COUNTRY FACES. |
| 00:01:14 | SO I WOULD START WITH THAT. |
| 00:01:15 | >> I'M SORRY, GLENN, |
