Well, ironically, the reason
they can't achieve that dream
130
00:04:59,356 --> 00:05:02,462
is because we all believe
in it too strongly.

or fund social programs
than other wealthy nations.
138

far greater inequality.

00:06:55,843 --> 00:06:57,914
out of affection
for this document.
179
00:06:57,952 --> 00:07:00,092
It's our most important
document.
180
00:07:00,129 --> 00:07:02,131
It's where we all started.
181
00:07:02,169 --> 00:07:05,275
The Constitution is the best
political document
182
00:07:05,314 --> 00:07:06,833
that's ever been written. [Uncle Sam]
Dang straight.
183
00:07:06,869 --> 00:07:09,630
I got a Constitution
lower back tattoo in the '90s
184
00:07:09,669 --> 00:07:10,981
and I've never regretted it.
185
00:07:12,641 --> 00:07:14,609
Oh, that's a lot.
186
00:07:14,646 --> 00:07:16,510
The truth is,
our Constitution
187
00:07:16,548 --> 00:07:18,446
is far from perfect.
188
00:07:18,484 --> 00:07:20,313
Even Thomas Jefferson
would agree
189
00:07:20,350 --> 00:07:22,248
that all this
Constitutional worship
190
00:07:22,286 --> 00:07:23,735
is ridiculous!
191
00:07:39,984 --> 00:07:42,124
What?!
Why would he say that?
192
00:07:42,161 --> 00:07:43,680
He was a founding father.
193
00:07:43,716 --> 00:07:47,030
Well, maybe that's why
he knew it wasn't perfect.
194
00:07:47,070 --> 00:07:48,968
He knew about all
the compromises
195
00:07:49,006 --> 00:07:51,353
they cobbled together
in its very messy,
196
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:54,152
very illegal creation.
[snapping]
197
00:07:54,190 --> 00:07:56,882
In 1787
the founding fathers
198
00:07:56,921 --> 00:07:59,751
were tasked with amending
the Articles of Confederation.
199
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:02,241
which was thelaw of the land
at the time.
200
00:08:02,278 --> 00:08:03,590
But instead of doing that,
201
00:08:03,626 --> 00:08:05,939
they decided
to unilaterally discard
202
00:08:05,977 --> 00:08:07,633
the entire system
of government
203
00:08:07,671 --> 00:08:09,638
and replace it
with one of their own.
204
00:08:09,676 --> 00:08:12,023
All in favor of exceeding
our lawful authority
205
00:08:12,061 --> 00:08:14,132
and doing whatever
the hell we want,
206
00:08:14,169 --> 00:08:15,895
raise your hand.What?!
207
00:08:15,931 --> 00:08:17,209
And getting all the states
208
00:08:17,245 --> 00:08:20,662
to ratify a brand-new
Constitution wasn't easy.
209
00:08:20,702 --> 00:08:22,945
So the document they wrote
included a lot
210
00:08:22,983 --> 00:08:25,054
of un-democratic compromises,
211
00:08:25,092 --> 00:08:28,267
especially when it came
to the question of slavery.
212
00:08:28,307 --> 00:08:30,895
The founders actually had
the opportunity
213
00:08:30,934 --> 00:08:33,178
to end slavery
in the Constitution.
214
00:08:33,215 --> 00:08:36,356
But then the slave-owning
states wouldn't have signed on.
215
00:08:36,395 --> 00:08:37,603
So, to get them on board,
216
00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:40,297
they made some
unforgivable compromises.
217
00:08:40,336 --> 00:08:43,373
Gentlemen, why are we
letting this tear us apart?
218
00:08:43,412 --> 00:08:45,069
Most of us own slaves.
219
00:08:45,106 --> 00:08:46,590
[overlapping agreement]
220
00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:48,905
[Adam]
They wrote in the Rendition Clause,
221
00:08:48,942 --> 00:08:52,084
which required free states
to return escaped slaves
222
00:08:52,122 --> 00:08:53,468
to their owners.
223
00:08:53,505 --> 00:08:56,784
And they gave slave states
extra political power,
224
00:08:56,823 --> 00:08:58,584
which made it
far more difficult
225
00:08:58,621 --> 00:09:00,761
to abolish slavery
in the future.
226
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:04,596
As a result, slavery became
so entrenched in our society,
227
00:09:04,635 --> 00:09:07,224
that the only way to
abolish it a century later
228
00:09:07,263 --> 00:09:11,405
was to fight the deadliest
war in our nation's history.
229
00:09:11,445 --> 00:09:13,620
We'll just ignore
this problem for now,
230
00:09:13,657 --> 00:09:16,315
and we'll all die before we have
to deal with the consequences.
231
00:09:16,353 --> 00:09:17,595
[all]
Hear, hear!
232
00:09:17,632 --> 00:09:20,635
So, how could you call
this document perfect?
233
00:09:20,674 --> 00:09:23,919
Its imperfections literally
tore our country apart,
234
00:09:23,957 --> 00:09:25,166
not to mention the fact
235
00:09:25,202 --> 00:09:27,031
that it didn't guarantee
rights for all citizens,
236
00:09:27,069 --> 00:09:29,347
didn't guarantee equal
protection under the laws,
237
00:09:29,385 --> 00:09:32,215
and didn't even let
black citizens or women vote
238
00:09:32,254 --> 00:09:34,048
for another century.
239
00:09:34,085 --> 00:09:36,363
None of these basic features
of our democracy
240
00:09:36,402 --> 00:09:38,645
were given to us
by the founding fathers,
241
00:09:38,683 --> 00:09:40,961
which is why celebrated
Supreme Court Justice
242
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:43,518
Thurgood Marshall
said the Constitution was...
243
00:09:52,889 --> 00:09:54,339
But wait!
You're forgetting
244
00:09:54,376 --> 00:09:56,654
that in their infinite wisdom,
our founding fathers
245
00:09:56,691 --> 00:09:59,522
gave us the power
to amend it.
246
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:02,979
Amendments allow us
to alter the Constitution
247
00:10:03,017 --> 00:10:04,294
and improve it.
248
00:10:04,331 --> 00:10:06,333
Actually,
our amendment process
249
00:10:06,370 --> 00:10:10,685
is so unnecessarily difficult,
that almost never happens.
250
00:10:10,725 --> 00:10:14,246
Short of calling a whole new
constitutional convention
251
00:10:14,286 --> 00:10:16,253
to rework
the entire document,
252
00:10:16,291 --> 00:10:18,534
to pass an amendment,
two-thirds of Congress
253
00:10:18,572 --> 00:10:20,056
has to agree to it,
254
00:10:20,092 --> 00:10:21,646
and then it has
to be ratified
255
00:10:21,682 --> 00:10:23,339
by three-quarters
of the states.
256
00:10:23,377 --> 00:10:27,760
If just 13 states don't agree,
the amendment is dead.
257
00:10:27,801 --> 00:10:29,285
That means it's possible
258
00:10:29,322 --> 00:10:31,531
for less than 5%
of the population
259
00:10:31,568 --> 00:10:34,882
to thwart the will
of the entire nation.
260
00:10:36,408 --> 00:10:38,720
Maybe that's why we haven't
been able to pass
261
00:10:38,758 --> 00:10:41,795
a new amendment
in the last quarter century.
262
00:10:41,835 --> 00:10:45,735
Well, we can't just go changing
the Constitution willy-nilly.
263
00:10:45,775 --> 00:10:47,328
That would be mayhem!Nope!
264
00:10:47,365 --> 00:10:48,814
[shrieks]It would be normal.
265
00:10:48,852 --> 00:10:51,164
Other countries,
and even our own states
266
00:10:51,202 --> 00:10:52,583
do it all the time.
267
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:54,552
France changes
their constitution
268
00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:55,729
every two years.
269
00:10:55,764 --> 00:10:57,732
And the grand old state
of Georgia
270
00:10:57,769 --> 00:11:01,566
has completely rewritten their
state constitution ten times.
271
00:11:01,607 --> 00:11:04,575
I can't believe I have FOMO
'cause of France.
272
00:11:04,614 --> 00:11:06,132
Dang it!
I had no idea
273
00:11:06,169 --> 00:11:08,343
our constitution
was so restrictive.
274
00:11:08,381 --> 00:11:10,107
[man]
It certainly is, and that's why
275
00:11:10,144 --> 00:11:12,284
we have to jump through
so many hoops
276
00:11:12,322 --> 00:11:15,290
in this country
to make any progress.
277
00:11:15,329 --> 00:11:16,848
It's Georgetown University
law professor,
278
00:11:16,884 --> 00:11:19,369
Louis Michael Seidman!
Are you leading a tour?
279
00:11:19,408 --> 00:11:21,479
Would you like to join it?Yes!
280
00:11:21,517 --> 00:11:23,795
[gasps]
All right, then!
281
00:11:23,832 --> 00:11:27,560
America's reverence
for the Constitution
282
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,636
gets in the way of having
the kind of debates
283
00:11:29,674 --> 00:11:31,158
that this country needs.
284
00:11:31,194 --> 00:11:34,474
The words are so ridiculously
hard to change
285
00:11:34,513 --> 00:11:37,205
that we end up inventing
creative ways around them.
286
00:11:37,244 --> 00:11:40,040
For example, did you know
that the only reason
287
00:11:40,078 --> 00:11:42,874
we have civil rights laws
in this country today
288
00:11:42,913 --> 00:11:44,811
is because of the way
that judges
289
00:11:44,848 --> 00:11:46,781
interpreted the Commerce Clause?
290
00:11:46,818 --> 00:11:49,821
Instead of having
recent discussion
291
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:53,035
about issues like abortion,
affirmative action,
292
00:11:53,075 --> 00:11:55,180
voting rights,
net neutrality,
293
00:11:55,218 --> 00:11:57,358
we end up
debating the intentions
294
00:11:57,395 --> 00:11:59,570
of a bunch of dead
old white men
295
00:11:59,608 --> 00:12:02,334
who knew nothing about
the way the country is today.
296
00:12:02,373 --> 00:12:04,548
Madison likes
my way best!
297
00:12:04,585 --> 00:12:06,069
No, he likes my way!
298
00:12:06,106 --> 00:12:09,178
I've been dead for 200 years.
Make up your own minds!
299
00:12:09,217 --> 00:12:12,013
And while disregarding
the Constitution seems radical,
300
00:12:12,052 --> 00:12:15,434
it's actually as American
as denim jorts.
301
00:12:15,473 --> 00:12:18,441
Thomas Jefferson thought
the Louisiana Purchase
302
00:12:18,481 --> 00:12:19,931
was unconstitutional.
303
00:12:19,967 --> 00:12:23,626
The framers never would have
recognized FDR's New Deal.
304
00:12:23,666 --> 00:12:25,668
Why, even Abraham Lincoln
305
00:12:25,705 --> 00:12:27,604
signed the Emancipation
Proclamation
306
00:12:27,641 --> 00:12:31,300
freeing the slaves,
and that was unconstitutional.
307
00:12:31,339 --> 00:12:34,066
The truth is, if we didn't
ignore the Constitution
308
00:12:34,105 --> 00:12:35,347
from time to time,
309
00:12:35,383 --> 00:12:37,040
United States
would still have slavery,
310
00:12:37,077 --> 00:12:39,045
and most of it would
still be part of France.
311
00:12:40,430 --> 00:12:42,709
Ooh, you musty old
piece of paper!
312
00:12:42,746 --> 00:12:45,059
I can't believe
I got a tattoo of you!
313
00:12:45,096 --> 00:12:46,650
Watch it, Uncle!
314
00:12:46,686 --> 00:12:49,655
There are still
some good things in the Constitution.
315
00:12:49,694 --> 00:12:52,248
We just need to stop
treating the Constitution
316
00:12:52,286 --> 00:12:55,461
like it's the final word
in every political discussion.
317
00:12:55,501 --> 00:12:58,090
We don't need the founding
fathers' permission
318
00:12:58,127 --> 00:12:59,922
to make America better.
319
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,099
You're right.
320
00:13:01,135 --> 00:13:04,691
America's not at its best
when we look to the past.
321
00:13:04,730 --> 00:13:07,284
It's when we fix the problems
in the present.
322
00:13:07,322 --> 00:13:09,945
[gasps]
That's what my speech will be about!
323
00:13:09,984 --> 00:13:13,090
Even when it's hard,
America always moves
324
00:13:13,130 --> 00:13:15,442
in the right direction--
forward.
325
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,275
Actually,
after the Civil War,
326
00:13:17,311 --> 00:13:19,003
we took a giant step
backwards.
327
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,939
[crash]
328
00:13:20,976 --> 00:13:23,496
I guess it wasn't
bolted on.
329
00:13:25,676 --> 00:13:28,783
Hey, America, let's talk
about the word "America."
330
00:13:28,823 --> 00:13:30,617
If you live
in the United States,
331
00:13:30,654 --> 00:13:32,380
you're probably used
to using that word
332
00:13:32,417 --> 00:13:34,005
to describe this.
333
00:13:34,042 --> 00:13:36,044
But we here
in the old US-of-A
334
00:13:36,081 --> 00:13:39,567
sometimes forget that we don't
have a monopoly on the word.
335
00:13:39,607 --> 00:13:41,298
For many people
around the world,
336
00:13:41,335 --> 00:13:44,476
"America" actually refers
to all of this.
337
00:13:44,515 --> 00:13:46,724
Now, this is a show
written in the U.S.
338
00:13:46,762 --> 00:13:49,109
that debunks misconceptions
common in the U.S.
339
00:13:49,147 --> 00:13:51,494
and largely speaks
to a U.S. audience.
340
00:13:51,532 --> 00:13:54,052
So, in some cases,
our use of "America"
341
00:13:54,090 --> 00:13:56,161
as a stand-in
for the "United States"
342
00:13:56,198 --> 00:13:57,406
is appropriate.
343
00:13:57,443 --> 00:14:00,308
But in others,
it's a little more complicated.
344
00:14:00,346 --> 00:14:02,348
Like in our segment
on the true story
345
00:14:02,386 --> 00:14:04,871
of Christopher Columbus,
in which we said, quote,
346
00:14:04,909 --> 00:14:06,772
"Columbus
was an incompetent buffoon
347
00:14:06,810 --> 00:14:09,364
who never even set foot
in America."
348
00:14:09,403 --> 00:14:11,370
Now, it is true
that Christopher Columbus
349
00:14:11,407 --> 00:14:13,064
never set foot in
the United States.
350
00:14:13,101 --> 00:14:16,173
But as many of our fans from
Latin America pointed out,
351
00:14:16,212 --> 00:14:18,870
he did visit Haiti
and the Dominican Republic.
352
00:14:18,908 --> 00:14:20,358
So, as they use the word,
353
00:14:20,394 --> 00:14:22,189
he actually did set foot
in America.
354
00:14:22,227 --> 00:14:24,332
For those fans,
the fact that we forgot
355
00:14:24,370 --> 00:14:25,716
the word's additional meaning,
356
00:14:25,752 --> 00:14:27,685
actually made
our statement wrong.
357
00:14:27,722 --> 00:14:30,173
So, in the future,
we're gonna do better
358
00:14:30,211 --> 00:14:32,558
to remember that we have
a global audience,
359
00:14:32,596 --> 00:14:34,909
and be more deliberate about
our language.
360
00:14:34,947 --> 00:14:36,397
But hey, we can all still agree
361
00:14:36,433 --> 00:14:37,918
that Columbus
was an asshole, right?
362
00:14:37,954 --> 00:14:39,473
[chuckles]
Good.
363
00:14:40,996 --> 00:14:44,309
Fine, Adam, maybe America
isn't absolutely perfect.
364
00:14:44,349 --> 00:14:47,697
But we always correct
our mistakes and move forward.
365
00:14:47,736 --> 00:14:50,636
Like after the Civil War
when we ended slavery.
366
00:14:50,674 --> 00:14:53,367
And of course, that didn't
fix everything right away,
367
00:14:53,405 --> 00:14:56,132
but we kept progressing
towards equality.
368
00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:58,482
Actually, there was
remarkable progress
369
00:14:58,521 --> 00:15:00,074
right after the Civil War,
370
00:15:00,111 --> 00:15:03,217
followed by
a terrible backslide.
371
00:15:03,256 --> 00:15:07,053
And strangely, that's a history
we almost never tell.
372
00:15:07,093 --> 00:15:08,957
But I'm going to, right now!
373
00:15:08,994 --> 00:15:09,995
[snapping]
374
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:13,243
The Civil War
marked a massive change
375
00:15:13,281 --> 00:15:14,627
in American life.
376
00:15:14,662 --> 00:15:16,975
Just years before,
the entire economy
377
00:15:17,014 --> 00:15:19,499
was built on the backs
of four million people
378
00:15:19,536 --> 00:15:21,400
enslaved as property.
379
00:15:21,438 --> 00:15:25,476
Then, the North won the war
and everything changed.
380
00:15:25,517 --> 00:15:29,452
The 13th, 14th,
and 15th Amendments were ratified,
381
00:15:29,491 --> 00:15:32,529
ending slavery
and promising new rights.
382
00:15:32,568 --> 00:15:34,191
With the protection
of the government
383
00:15:34,227 --> 00:15:36,471
and the new right
to pursue education,
384
00:15:36,508 --> 00:15:38,993
own property, and participate
in elections,
385
00:15:39,032 --> 00:15:41,966
freed black Americans
were able to assert themselves
386
00:15:42,004 --> 00:15:43,799
and advance in society.
387
00:15:43,837 --> 00:15:46,495
Black Americans put forth
the first
388
00:15:46,532 --> 00:15:48,465
state-based
civil rights legislation,
389
00:15:48,503 --> 00:15:51,161
and thousands became
politicians.
390
00:15:51,199 --> 00:15:54,340
By 1877,
16 African Americans
391
00:15:54,379 --> 00:15:56,622
had even served in Congress.
392
00:15:56,661 --> 00:15:59,457
Remarkable, considering
that was just ten years
393
00:15:59,495 --> 00:16:01,014
after the end of slavery.
394
00:16:01,050 --> 00:16:03,984
This period was known
as Reconstruction,
395
00:16:04,023 --> 00:16:06,888
and the years 1867 to 1877
396
00:16:06,926 --> 00:16:08,549
marked one
of the greatest periods
397
00:16:08,585 --> 00:16:11,726
of civil rights progress
in American history.
398
00:16:11,766 --> 00:16:13,871
That's incredible!Yeah, it was.
399
00:16:13,909 --> 00:16:17,326
But then we let all
of that progress disappear.
400
00:16:17,366 --> 00:16:18,884
The war was over,
401
00:16:18,921 --> 00:16:21,095
but the forces of white
supremacy in the South
402
00:16:21,133 --> 00:16:22,376
weren't finished fighting.
403
00:16:22,412 --> 00:16:24,966
So they regrouped
to suppress black progress
404
00:16:25,004 --> 00:16:26,592
using terrorism.
405
00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:28,010
Terrorism? Ha.
406
00:16:28,046 --> 00:16:29,772
There weren't any terrorists
in the 1800s.
407
00:16:29,809 --> 00:16:31,259
Yeah, there were.
408
00:16:31,295 --> 00:16:34,125
During Reconstruction,
the Ku Klux Klan
409
00:16:34,164 --> 00:16:36,684
and their allies
launched deadly riots
410
00:16:36,722 --> 00:16:39,242
to scare black citizens
away from voting
411
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,729
or organizing.
412
00:16:40,767 --> 00:16:42,527
They set buildings
on fire,
413
00:16:42,564 --> 00:16:44,082
assassinated
political leaders,
414
00:16:44,119 --> 00:16:47,709
and massacred more American
citizens than Al-Qaeda
415
00:16:47,748 --> 00:16:49,543
and ISIS combined.
416
00:16:49,581 --> 00:16:52,135
If that's not terrorism,
what is?
417
00:16:52,173 --> 00:16:53,830
This is horrific.
418
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:55,800
Adam, the government
must've stepped back in
419
00:16:55,837 --> 00:16:56,976
and stopped them, right?
420
00:16:57,012 --> 00:16:58,807
Well, in the early 1870s,
421
00:16:58,844 --> 00:17:00,950
President Grant sent
troops into the South
422
00:17:00,987 --> 00:17:02,713
to confront the Klan
423
00:17:02,751 --> 00:17:04,580
and to enforce
the rights guaranteed
424
00:17:04,617 --> 00:17:06,170
in the new amendments.
425
00:17:06,206 --> 00:17:08,381
But America was tired
of fighting,
426
00:17:08,419 --> 00:17:11,594
and political will
to continue soon dwindled.
427
00:17:11,634 --> 00:17:15,016
So, in 1877, the troops
were withdrawn.
428
00:17:15,056 --> 00:17:18,301
Wait, so they just let
the terrorists win?
429
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:20,134
Yes, we did.
430
00:17:20,171 --> 00:17:21,621
And without government
enforcement,
431
00:17:21,658 --> 00:17:24,316
white ex-Confederates
were able to reinstitute
432
00:17:24,354 --> 00:17:27,150
new systems of oppression
and brutality.
433
00:17:27,188 --> 00:17:29,156
They instituted poll taxes,
434
00:17:29,193 --> 00:17:30,471
literacy tests,
435
00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:32,958
stationed racist thugs
at polling places,
436
00:17:32,995 --> 00:17:36,930
and even passed racist
statutes like vagrancy laws
437
00:17:36,971 --> 00:17:38,938
that made it illegal
not to work.
438
00:17:38,975 --> 00:17:41,805
And the sentence
for breaking these unfair laws
439
00:17:41,844 --> 00:17:43,673
was forced labor.
440
00:17:43,711 --> 00:17:45,368
Sound familiar?
441
00:17:45,405 --> 00:17:47,994
No! It's just slavery
all over again!
442
00:17:48,031 --> 00:17:49,826
[woman]
To some degree, yes.
443
00:17:49,864 --> 00:17:51,313
But that's not
the glorious history
444
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:53,525
America likes to tell
about ourselves.
445
00:17:53,562 --> 00:17:55,184
This is Christy Coleman,
446
00:17:55,221 --> 00:17:58,224
CEO of the American
Civil War Museum.
447
00:17:58,263 --> 00:17:59,886
You know, most of us
were taught
448
00:17:59,922 --> 00:18:01,545
that after Lincoln
freed the slaves,
449
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,583
it took a century
of slow progress
450
00:18:03,621 --> 00:18:05,761
for black people
to gain civil rights.
451
00:18:05,798 --> 00:18:07,869
But the truth is,
by the 1960s,
452
00:18:07,907 --> 00:18:10,737
we weren't passing laws
giving black people new rights.
453
00:18:10,776 --> 00:18:12,571
We were just finally
enforcing the ones
454
00:18:12,608 --> 00:18:15,059
that had been promised them
100 years earlier.
455
00:18:15,096 --> 00:18:17,513
But why don't we learn
the real history?
456
00:18:17,551 --> 00:18:20,416
Because the first textbooks
about this era
457
00:18:20,455 --> 00:18:23,216
were written by white
Confederate sympathizers.
458
00:18:23,254 --> 00:18:26,672
They painted Reconstruction
as a time when black people
459
00:18:26,711 --> 00:18:28,195
wreaked havoc over the South
460
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:30,545
because they couldn't handle
their new freedoms.
461
00:18:30,582 --> 00:18:32,515
And this narrative
was solidified
462
00:18:32,553 --> 00:18:34,693
in the American consciousness
through pop culture.
463
00:18:34,730 --> 00:18:38,700
The wildly popular 1915 film
"Birth of a Nation"
464
00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:41,191
depicted illiterate,
uncouth black men
465
00:18:41,228 --> 00:18:44,024
taking power in southern states
during Reconstruction.
466
00:18:44,063 --> 00:18:46,237
And in the 1930s,
"Gone with the Wind"
467
00:18:46,275 --> 00:18:49,071
became one of the most popular
books and movies in America,
468
00:18:49,109 --> 00:18:52,768
with its story of
a romanticized Dixie plantation
469
00:18:52,808 --> 00:18:54,982
where the slave owners
were gentle and kind.
470
00:18:55,020 --> 00:18:56,711
Slaves were happy to be there
471
00:18:56,749 --> 00:18:59,303
and Reconstruction
was a disaster.
472
00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:01,929
Not only did this dangerously
false narrative
473
00:19:01,968 --> 00:19:03,314
let Americans stop caring
474
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:05,456
about protecting
black people's rights,
475
00:19:05,493 --> 00:19:07,254
we also never did anything
476
00:19:07,291 --> 00:19:10,329
to make up for the decades
of economic inequality
477
00:19:10,367 --> 00:19:11,610
caused by slavery.
478
00:19:11,647 --> 00:19:14,270
The truth is, we were on a path
towards progress
479
00:19:14,308 --> 00:19:15,758
after the Civil War.
480
00:19:15,795 --> 00:19:18,970
And then we chose to slide
horrifically backwards.
481
00:19:19,009 --> 00:19:20,148
That's terrible.
482
00:19:20,184 --> 00:19:21,945
How could we have let
all that happen?
483
00:19:21,981 --> 00:19:25,744
Oh, our country is
backsliding again right now.
484
00:19:25,784 --> 00:19:28,304
White supremacy
is on the rise.
485
00:19:28,341 --> 00:19:30,792
And the 2013
Supreme Court decision
486
00:19:30,831 --> 00:19:33,109
to gut the Voting Rights Act
makes it easier
487
00:19:33,146 --> 00:19:36,494
for state and local governments
to suppress the voting rights
488
00:19:36,534 --> 00:19:38,363
of Americans of color.
489
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,885
No! We're supposed to learn
490
00:19:40,924 --> 00:19:42,995
from the mistakes
of our past.
491
00:19:43,032 --> 00:19:46,173
This country
is the worst.
492
00:19:46,212 --> 00:19:48,663
And that's what Americatown
needs to hear
493
00:19:48,701 --> 00:19:51,980
at this year's Independence Day
Holiday Blowout Extravaganza.
494
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:54,539
Uncle, no!
Don't give up on America.
495
00:19:54,577 --> 00:19:57,166
There are still so many things
that make it great!
496
00:19:57,204 --> 00:19:59,241
It's more than just jorts!
497
00:20:02,942 --> 00:20:04,530
So I said, "Honey, you think
you've got problems?
498
00:20:04,566 --> 00:20:08,709
I've got four million tourists
a year crawling up my butt."
499
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,234
[laughter and applause]
500
00:20:11,273 --> 00:20:12,377
What do you want?
501
00:20:12,413 --> 00:20:13,759
Uncle, you're not gonna
go up there
502
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:15,176
and give
some depressing speech
503
00:20:15,213 --> 00:20:17,077
about how America's terrible,
are you?
504
00:20:17,114 --> 00:20:18,771
After everything
you just told me,
505
00:20:18,808 --> 00:20:19,947
you bet I am.
506
00:20:19,983 --> 00:20:23,538
Look, we tell a lot
of myths about America.
507
00:20:23,578 --> 00:20:25,442
But the biggest one
is that America's
508
00:20:25,479 --> 00:20:27,447
the best country in the world.
509
00:20:27,483 --> 00:20:30,590
It's called the Myth
of American Exceptionalism.
510
00:20:30,629 --> 00:20:32,942
But the truth is that,
like any country,
511
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:34,913
America has problems,
512
00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:36,814
some pretty big ones,
in fact.
513
00:20:36,852 --> 00:20:39,440
But that doesn't mean
that America's not capable
514
00:20:39,478 --> 00:20:40,651
of doing great things.
515
00:20:40,688 --> 00:20:42,794
It means that we have
to recognize
516
00:20:42,831 --> 00:20:44,419
that we do the greatest things
517
00:20:44,455 --> 00:20:46,664
when we admit
we're not perfect.
518
00:20:46,703 --> 00:20:52,122
Keep that applause going
for Americatown's own Uncle Sam!
519
00:20:52,164 --> 00:20:53,855
[cheering and applause]You're right.
520
00:20:53,893 --> 00:20:56,102
Thanks, Adam.
521
00:20:56,139 --> 00:20:58,452
[cheering, applause continues]
522
00:20:58,489 --> 00:20:59,974
Hello, Americatown!
523
00:21:01,670 --> 00:21:03,810
So...
524
00:21:03,848 --> 00:21:05,332
My big speech.
525
00:21:07,339 --> 00:21:09,341
America is...
526
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:13,971
♪♪
527
00:21:18,192 --> 00:21:22,887
I want America to be
a great nation.
528
00:21:22,927 --> 00:21:28,174
But you don't achieve greatness
by pretending to be great.
529
00:21:29,806 --> 00:21:32,982
You achieve it by admitting
you suck sometimes,
530
00:21:33,021 --> 00:21:35,196
and then you work
to do better.
531
00:21:36,373 --> 00:21:37,685
And only then,
532
00:21:37,721 --> 00:21:41,967
after we shed the myth that
America was born perfect,
533
00:21:42,008 --> 00:21:47,116
can we truly do what
the founding fathers intended--
534
00:21:47,159 --> 00:21:50,921
strive to achieve
a more perfect union.
535
00:21:53,035 --> 00:21:55,969
[cheering and applause]
536
00:22:01,917 --> 00:22:03,574
Oh, thank you.
537
00:22:03,612 --> 00:22:05,752
Thank you so much.
538
00:22:05,789 --> 00:22:06,894
[sighs]
539
00:22:06,929 --> 00:22:09,553
Hey, Adam?Yeah?
540
00:22:09,591 --> 00:22:11,904
You gotta pay for that display
you broke in the museum.
541
00:22:11,941 --> 00:22:13,426
Oh, right, sorry.
542
00:22:15,710 --> 00:22:17,263
Could you spot me?
543
00:22:19,822 --> 00:22:20,927
[woman]
It's a first draft.
544
00:22:20,963 --> 00:22:22,068
Okay, this is a--
545
00:22:22,105 --> 00:22:24,279
this is a first draft
of your animated self.
546
00:22:24,317 --> 00:22:25,766
Oh, wow!What do you think?
547
00:22:25,803 --> 00:22:27,425
I mean, it's animation.
We can do anything.
548
00:22:27,462 --> 00:22:29,602
Just e-mail Stephanie
with what your request is
549
00:22:29,639 --> 00:22:31,124
and we'll make you
look that way.I do like it.
550
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,887
You run the American
Civil War Museum in Richmond.Yes.
551
00:22:33,925 --> 00:22:35,410
So what do you try
to get across,
552
00:22:35,446 --> 00:22:37,207
you know, someone's coming
to your museum,
553
00:22:37,244 --> 00:22:39,281
what's the most important
thing you want them to know
554
00:22:39,318 --> 00:22:40,388
about the Civil War
when they leave?
555
00:22:40,424 --> 00:22:41,770
It matters for everything
they live
556
00:22:41,806 --> 00:22:43,118
in their life right now.
557
00:22:43,155 --> 00:22:45,433
Three very important
Constitutional amendments happened
558
00:22:45,471 --> 00:22:46,783
because of this war.
559
00:22:46,818 --> 00:22:48,613
We have the 13th Amendment
abolishing slavery.
560
00:22:48,651 --> 00:22:49,721
You got the 14th Amendment
561
00:22:49,757 --> 00:22:51,242
with equal protection
under the law
562
00:22:51,278 --> 00:22:53,142
and citizenship definition.
563
00:22:53,179 --> 00:22:55,284
And then the right to vote
is extended, right?
564
00:22:55,322 --> 00:22:56,495
Yeah.I mean, that's huge.
565
00:22:56,532 --> 00:22:59,121
The nation will spend
the next hundred years
566
00:22:59,159 --> 00:23:02,300
fighting to actually
implement what was passed.
567
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:04,824
That's the wild thing
is those amendments
568
00:23:04,862 --> 00:23:07,762
and those laws were passed
and they weren't enforced.
569
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,597
You know, as complex
as this history is, it's--
570
00:23:11,637 --> 00:23:14,743
what's remarkable to me
is that there's always been people,
571
00:23:14,783 --> 00:23:18,338
always been people
choosing,
572
00:23:18,378 --> 00:23:21,588
in the words of Dr. King,
to bend the arc of justice.
573
00:23:21,626 --> 00:23:23,490
Yeah.Right? Because
they do believe
574
00:23:23,528 --> 00:23:25,633
in what the nation
really can be.
575
00:23:25,671 --> 00:23:27,638
Do you still have
that optimism?
576
00:23:27,676 --> 00:23:28,953
Because,
what we're talking about
577
00:23:28,989 --> 00:23:31,889
in this episode is how
there was a huge backslide
578
00:23:31,927 --> 00:23:33,860
after Reconstruction
was abandoned.
579
00:23:33,898 --> 00:23:36,452
And we connect that
to today, that in many ways
580
00:23:36,490 --> 00:23:38,250
it feels like
we're backsliding
581
00:23:38,288 --> 00:23:41,049
on some of the gains we've had
over the past decades.
582
00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:42,537
And we're trying
to make that point
583
00:23:42,574 --> 00:23:44,196
that history is
an inevitable.
584
00:23:44,233 --> 00:23:47,339
During periods
of great progression
585
00:23:47,379 --> 00:23:49,622
and expansion of rights,
586
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:52,352
there are always those
who feel threatened by that.
587
00:23:52,391 --> 00:23:54,185
And so there is almost
an immediate--
588
00:23:54,222 --> 00:23:55,637
It's like, think of
a rubber band, right?
589
00:23:55,674 --> 00:23:56,813
You're stretching
the rubber band.Yeah.
590
00:23:56,849 --> 00:23:58,092
You're stretching,
you're stretching.
591
00:23:58,128 --> 00:24:00,061
And then it snaps
back on you, right?Yeah.
592
00:24:00,099 --> 00:24:02,550
But it never is as tight
as it was before
593
00:24:02,587 --> 00:24:04,244
when it starts
stretching even further.
594
00:24:04,281 --> 00:24:07,560
Yeah.And that's kind of how
American history is.
595
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:09,739
We have these periods
of great progress.
596
00:24:09,777 --> 00:24:12,055
We snap back
really hard fast,
597
00:24:12,092 --> 00:24:14,094
sometimes extraordinarily
violently.
598
00:24:14,132 --> 00:24:17,722
And so the snap back, yes,
feels really bizarre.
599
00:24:17,761 --> 00:24:20,281
Yes.But it's essentially
the same force
600
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,907
that's in play.The thing that
we've seen before?
601
00:24:21,944 --> 00:24:23,911
Right, so they'll have
their moment,
602
00:24:23,949 --> 00:24:26,123
and then
the expansions continue
603
00:24:26,161 --> 00:24:27,611
until there's a completely
different model.
604
00:24:27,647 --> 00:24:29,511
Well, thank you so much
for coming here...Thank you!
605
00:24:29,549 --> 00:24:30,964
...to talk to us about it.It's a pleasure.
606
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,657
It's been wonderful.Thank you.
607
00:24:32,707 --> 00:24:37,257
