Bacon's Rebellion - Capitalism Hits Home

  • 2 years ago
Dr. Fraad shares the important story of Bacon’s Rebellion in the 17th century and how it shaped the idea of “race" in America.

"It was a united revolt of whites and blacks against a class system of ownership and dispossession so the dispossessed rose up together." - Dr. Fraad
