    America’s First Slavery Wasn’t What You Think

    In this episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell examines Indigenous enslavement in America — a chapter often minimized in traditional historical narratives. Beginning in 1492 with Christopher Columbus, Native peoples were captured and forced into labor as European colonization expanded.

    Alongside devastating disease, these systems of forced labor accelerated the decline of Native populations. Indigenous enslavement continued well into the 18th century before African enslavement became the dominant labor system in the colonies.


    This episode provides historical context that challenges common assumptions about how slavery began in America. Historical references include early colonial records and established research on Indigenous enslavement in the Americas.

    Will the SAVE Act Voter ID Bill Change Who Can Vote?

    Lillian Cauldwell on Lest We Forget History examines the SAVE Act Voter ID Bill and what its passage in the House could mean for federal elections and voter eligibility.

    The GOP-led House approved the measure on February 11, requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and approved photo identification before casting a ballot. Supporters argue it strengthens election integrity, while critics raise concerns about documentation mismatches and potential barriers for certain voters.

  • What History Warns Us About U.S. Intervention in Latin America

    What History Warns Us About U.S. Intervention in Latin America
    Jan 11 2026
    What History Reveals About U.S. Intervention in Latin America

    In this episode of Lest We Forget History, Lillian Cauldwell revisits a moment many Americans have forgotten — the last time the United States carried out a direct military intervention in Latin America. Drawing from reporting by Chris Kenning of USA Today,

    Lillian examines the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama and the removal of military leader Manuel Noriega. While some parallels are being drawn today, experts caution that Venezuela presents a far more complex and volatile situation.

    Recent events have reignited regional anxiety, especially following remarks suggesting a possible nation-building role. International allies have expressed concern, particularly given ongoing domestic challenges within the United States.

    In Panama, many citizens viewed Noriega’s removal as the beginning of a more stable democratic era. Whether a similar outcome is possible today remains uncertain.

    This episode invites listeners to look beyond headlines and consider the deeper political, economic, and historical forces at play.

    What are your thoughts on U.S. intervention in Latin America and the historical comparisons being made today?
