“The ‘takings’ clause of the Fifth Amendment is for conservatives what the equal protection clause of the 14th is for liberals.” Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid and the Takings Clause

Hey everyone! Once again, I'm joined by Jordin Dickerson (@Jordin_Aterria), professor at UNCP in PoliSci, holder of a history and law degree, and current public defender, and we're talking about the "Takings clause" of the Fifth Amendment and some important cases that have shaped the US in the last 20 years or so.

Hey everyone! For episode 21, I'm joined by Dr. Corinne Gressang (@corinnegressang on Twitter), assistant professor of history at Erskine College and we're covering the French Revolution.

Episode 20: : “I never understand these ‘the South will rise again’ people. Again? It never rose before. It tried to and Lincoln stomped it’s ass.” The History of the Lost Cause

Hey everyone! For Episode 20, I'm joined by Mark Herbert, a Civil War historian and MA student at Missouri State University, and today we're talking about the history of the Lost Cause. In this episode, we talk about how the Lost Cause mythology has managed to grow since the end of the Civil War, and how it continues to grow. We talk about Confederate Iconography, how Civil War history is lost when intertwined with politics, and get some great book recommendations. I hope you all enjoy!
