(Ep 3) Colonial Racism, Bacon’s Rebellion & the Birth of Slave Codes: The Race & Labor Rabbit Hole Part 1

Rednecks Rising

In this 3rd episode, the side effects of having a podcast host with ADHD show up: I started with covering The Battle of Blair Mountain, but that led me to historical labor uprisings that had happened the century before the Battle, which then led me to learning about multiracial organizing by indentured servants prior to the formalization of the Virginia Slave Codes. I decided it's best to start at the beginning and take you along for the ride.
