Ep 620: Northern Secession in 1797 Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Most Americans don't realize that the North first advocated secession in the 1790s. More importantly, they don't realize that the reasons Northerners wanted to secede were the same then as they were in the South in 1860-61. And no, it wasn't slavery. It was power.

Ep. 619: An "Indivisble" Nation? Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

Lindsay Chervinsky thinks secession is an "insane" idea. But she also was surprised to find out that Northerners thought secession was a good idea in the 1790s. One problem. She interprets everything in American history through the "s" word, SLAVERY. This clouds her judgement concerning primary documents and makes her a bad historian.

Ep. 618: What Would Lincoln Do? Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Historian Michael Beschloss wondered aloud if Lincoln should have let the South go. This invoked a series of responses by other leftist "historians," mostly defending Lincoln's actions in 1861. That is the wrong position.

Ep. 617: Lincoln's Greatest Speeches? Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

"Lincoln's Greatest Speeches" should be an oxymoron, but that doesn't stop people from publishing books on the topic. I discuss one such book and the contradictions in Lincoln's sophistry on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 616: Constitution Wish List Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

All John Grove wanted for Christmas were a few good amendments. Amending the Constitution would solve some serious problems in American government.

Ep. 615: Considering Secession Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

The Local Culture journal featured the topic of secession in its most recent issue. Various scholars voiced their views on the subject, with the most important point being, "Is it the right time for secession"? I address the same question on this episode.

Ep. 164: Why Was Washington a Nationalist? Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Virginia made George Washington. That raises an important question: why was Washington a nationalist unlike Thomas Jefferson or other members of the Virginia gentry?

Ep. 613: Black Confederate Myth? Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Kevin Levin proudly states that black Confederates were a "myth." He wrote an entire polemic, I mean book, dedicated to punching holes in a straw man while using clever semantics to prove his thesis. Of course, he thinks I have not read his 187 page op-ed. I have, and this is one of those reviews I love to do.

Ep. 612: Would Young People Defend the United States? Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

A recent poll suggests that a large number of young people would rather leave the United States than defend it if a foreign power attacked. This was predictable. I discuss the ramifications on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 611: Bill Maher is Thinking Locally and Acting Locally Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

Bill Maher gets it. Sort of. He has realized that the national government and national politics won't solve his problems. Amazing. Of course, you, my listeners know this, as I show on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
