About this listen

Host Sol Bishop explores how 246 years of slavery built America's economy and institutions, beginning with the 1619 arrival of enslaved Africans in Virginia. The episode examines the legal architecture of bondage, the internal slave trade that moved one million people across the South, and how this systematic extraction of labor shaped national wealth — challenging listeners to understand slavery not as closed history, but as a foundation still shaping contemporary America.
