    Christiana Riot Episode 1
    2025/08/23
    With the future of the United States balanced upon a knife's edge due to the question of slavery the Compromise of 1850 hold's the promise of easing those tensions. Yet part of that Compromise the new fugitive slave act only serves to bring the country closer to civil war as southern slaveholders look to recapture the people who had fled to the north seeking freedom. This series then focuses on some of the clashes that resulted from this law like the one that happened in Christiana Pennsylvania between slave holder Edward Gorsuch and the enslaved men who had fled from his farm in Maryland.

    1916 New Jersey Shark Attacks Part 1
    2025/07/12
    As thousands flocked to the Jersey shore in the summer of 1916 none could anticipate the horrors that awaited them. At least in part because no one at the time believed that sharks were dangerous. Indeed never before in American history was their an officially recorded incident of a shark attacking a person.
