• 0:49
  Speaker 1: give you three of the most useless facts you'll never

  Speaker 1: need ever, not a day in life. Primeta. Mexico abolished
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: slavery in eighteen twenty nine, while the US was still
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: very much committed to the nonsense Segundo. The man who
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: signed it into low was Afro American e thirt set.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Some Americans were so mad about that decision that they
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: moved to Texas. So for today's episode, I'm gonna ask you,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: did you know that there was a black president who
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: abolished slavery before Lincoln? And did you know Mayico Eboliolies
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Glavitude threnthy thrace on yours aunts day Proclamacion de monts
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a passion Because I didn't.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't know.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. Now, for those of you who aren't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: as bi language as myself, I basically just asked if
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you knew that Mexico abolished slavery thirty three years before
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the Emancipation Proclamation, you need to know the name of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Vicente Guerrero was Afro Mexican, the revolutionary general. He was
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the president of Maiko And yes, the same Guerrero that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the state of Guerrero in Mexico is named after. It
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: makes his money off of terrorism because Acapolco is there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: There's a story that says Vicent's pop tried to turn
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: him into the Spanish authorities during his revolution and his
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: response by Patrio as primetro that means the homeland comes first,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and that became Mexico's motto. Vicente was born to a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: mixed race family. He rose through the ranks during Mexico's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: War of Independence and became one of the most powerful
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: leaders in the country. Now here's the part that don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: make the US textbooks. When Guerrero became president in eighteen
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: twenty nine, he looked at slavery and said, Jedholmes, We're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: done with that. Not gradually, not with conditions, not with
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: no loopoles. Abolished immediately, no committee, no focus group, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: original Nike just did it, and that was huge. Mayico
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: immediately became a place where enslaved black people could escape
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and be free. There was no fugitive slave laws, no
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: returning people to bondage. Different accounts estimate between three thousand
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and five thousand enslaved people escaped to Mexico before the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Civil War. It was entire communities of black seminoles and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: freedom seekers in cole Willa. And this is where things
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: get familiar. American slave holders hated it. They started bringing
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in slave people into Mexico territories anyway, especially Texas, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: demanding exceptions like entitled pompous white people of that time
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: normally did. But Mayko said, nah, no exception. So when
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: people talk about Texas want independence, understand this. Slavery was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a major reason may Coo was too black friendly, too
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: anti slavery, too unwilling to protect American wealth built on bondage.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And that's the global part that they don't love teaching,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and of course percent that Gorretro paid for it. He
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was eventually overthrown and executed, but his decision couldn't be undone.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Slavery never returned to Mexico, and that's impact. A century
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: after Guerretro made freedom law in Mexico, CARTERGI Woodson created
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Negro History Week because stories like these were never going
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to cross the border. Woods in New Black History didn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: stop at the United States plantations. It's shaped nation, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: if we don't document it, freedom starts looking like it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: only came from one place. Eyr Nolo Sabia, He's house.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Tout Poko, Congratulations, your passport has been stamped.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Next off Japan.
