Thanks for the sub! Welcome

Well the movement was populist so it essentially promised everything to everybody in the hopes of gaining the most widespread support. And I don't think it should be held up as the model for a unity movement as it quickly feel apart into self interest over the course of a few months. I think it would be more enlightening to see it as an example of how these various factional interests of the Law and Order government, Catholic Immigrants, Dorr Government, and local Black community navigated the formal and informal legal institution of the time as well as alliances with each other to extract and maintain greater rights and political representation for themselves, and often at the expense of others. Because remember at the end of it all the vast majority of citizens in the state remained disenfranchised well into the 1880s.

@@Lawarch perhaps I wasn't clear enough with my point: race is often used to divide populations, preventing them from pursuing mutual interests against entrenched systems; the result is that these mutual interests often go unrecognized, because "race" as a mode of thought encourages people to simply... not notice them. In fact, it encourages groups _against_ noticing them, because racial divides come packaged with tons of beliefs about other populations, and present natural fault lines along which accordingly defined groups can organize, and power brokers can selectively "patronize". None of this is actually "natural" in the sense of racial categories (and their compositions) being preordained, but it's natural in that once established as a mode of organization, "race" becomes self apparent-an easy default. This is what I meant when I highlighted how most free states barred black immigration, and also how Pennsylvania Democrats used race as a way to entrench their support among European immigrants. So what happened, briefly, in Rhode Island was a _rare_ acknowledgement of interests beyond arbitrary racial fault-lines. My point here is we should consistently look for and pursue commonalities, as briefly happened there, instead of allowing the trap of race to create further division.

It was a holdover from the old colonial charter. Its hard to tell exactly how much $134 back in the 1800s would be today worth but it would be at least a few thousand dollars

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm still relatively new to KZbin so I'm going to keep working at it. And hopefully with some time, good luck, and the help of my fans I'll get there one day

Wait till you see the next video its even better!

We don't have "rights," we have privileges that can be revoked at any time. Unless you can enforce a right yourself or compel others to do so... it gets dicey.

Thank you! Hope to get there soon

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked the video

@@Lawarch Interesting... What do you have to say concerning the Golgi apparatus?

Working on it! this is a older video but my newer stuff should have better sound mixing, though its still a learning process for me. Thanks for the feedback!

My friend you would seriously have to ask white people that question😊
