Another sample Speakeasy Ideas lesson plan on the problem of slavery in the American Founding (#11)
Good morning,
This was really well done. In particular your explanation of how and what John C. Calhoun thought. I live in a western suburb of Minneapolis and currently there’s a “fight” going on to rename Lake Calhoun to its “original” Native American name which was Bde Maka Ska. I have been reading the articles written in the Minneapolis Star Tribune which quote Calhoun quite extensively but it was never mentioned that he agreed with what the founders meant by all men are created equal, but just disagreed. Interesting, and as you mentioned, complex.
Thank you!
