9:46Now PlayingThe History Guy remembers Robert Smalls, a hero of the U.S. Civil War from South Carolina. Born into slavery, Smalls made a daring escape by commandeering a Confederate ship. After the war, Smalls served as politician. His extraordinary life is history that deserves to be remembered.
The episode contains photographs from the period of the US Civil War. Although no graphic violence is shown, this was a period of conflict, which might disturb some viewers. All photos are shown in the context of the history of the era.
The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
