Description

It's been more than 150 years since the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, but slavery is a stain on our history, and one that should be discussed, and discussed in the correct context. The Sons of History discuss the history of slavery throughout the world. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim also discuss how America and Britain led the way in abolishing slavery. 

This conversation was no easy task, but we think you will enjoy the discussion. 

Bass and Wakim also give their book and movie recommendations.
