3:39Now PlayingJohn Robson of TheRebel.media:
"July 30 is a great day for freedom and also a bleak one. It’s a great day because on July 30 1619 the first representative assembly met in the New World, at Jamestown. The colonists, ill-prepared as they were in almost every other way, brought with them sound principles of political philosophy and practice, and created a legislature despite starvation, disease and chaos because that’s what free Englishmen did, without needing or seeking permission.
"It’s also a bleak day because in the same year in the same place the first black slaves were sold, and the commitment to liberty that created the House of Burgesses didn’t stop Virginians and then other southerners, and northerners, from also constructing markets where they bought and sold their fellow humans."
