À propos de ce contenu audio

One of the most interesting and important characters in America's Civil War history is Henry Clay of Kentucky. Like Thomas Jefferson, he made antislavery statements and yet enslaved many people. Clay also was instrumental in developing compromises between slave states and anti-slave states. Though the compromises eventually had to fail -- there is no compromise on freedom -- the delays made possible the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. To understand Clay, I interviewed Eric Brooks, curator at Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate. The expertise of Brooks is on display here. Follow my website: civilwarsurvivor.com.
