		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Civil War 150th&#8221; is a periodic compilation of information related to the sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary, of the U.S. Civil War (2011-2015). In keeping with the theme of this blog, the focus is on the often-misunderstood role of slavery and race in the war. Today&#8217;s &#8220;Civil War 150th&#8221; includes the North&#8217;s relationship to southern slavery, [...]]]></description>

The subject is the mythology about the war that still lingers on both sides. For the South, that mythology has received ample attention over [...]]]></description>

Tonight, I&#8217;m attending a screening and discussion of the documentary in Concord, Massachusetts, hosted by the Drinking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slavery in New England was brutal and lasted, in its official form, for 150 years. Enslavement greatly enriched the colonists and, later, citizens of New England, and only died out gradually and fitfully. This is the proposition of an op-ed appearing in tomorrow&#8217;s Boston Globe, entitled &#8220;New England’s scarlet ‘S’ for slavery,&#8221; in honor of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been taking heat since yesterday for his remarks on the Senate floor comparing the opponents of health care reform to those who opposed ending slavery. As I&#8217;ll explain below, I believe the criticism over Reid&#8217;s remarks is misplaced at best, and political gamesmanship at worst. However, I also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written before about the movement in Rhode Island to remove the words &#8220;Providence Plantations&#8221; from the state&#8217;s name. Supporters argue that these words constitute an offensive reminder of the state&#8217;s, and the nation&#8217;s, history of slavery. Last night, the R.I. state legislature approved the constitutional amendment which would change the state&#8217;s name. The measure [...]]]></description>
