Filibuster in Cuba, Part 2
Channel: misesmedia
Date: 24/01/2018

After Narciso López’s first attempt at overthrowing Spanish rule in Cuba, he found more support from American southerners and returned for a second try. Although he would fail, the idea of expanding slavery into new territories was now in the minds of a number of southern expansionists. 

[CORRECTION]: Calton refers to William Crittenden as both the son and nephew of Attorney General John J. Crittenden at different points in the episode. William Crittenden was the nephew of John J. Crittenden.

Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the 13th episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
