1. Phil Taylor gives an historically accurate account of the capture of John Wilkes Booth, who was aided and abetted by Confederate intelligence agents when assassinating Abraham Lincoln and during his escape.
2. Taylor continues his historical account of the liberation of the Black American slaves, who built and shaped America, who enriched the American culture and who maintained 200,000 troops in the Union army.*
General Weitzel led the highly disciplined troops who put out the confederate fires without pillage nor robbery. For the first time, Blacks were allowed out on the streets.
Taylor proclaims: We got this dialectic all wrong. The slaves were liberated--that is what it is all about. Racism and the power of it and the desire for the whites to claw back into power is the race card they play forever. The racists were part of what W.E.B. Du Bois called "The Great Absurdity," claiming to be fighting for freedom while depriving others of their freedom.
3. Taylor reports on the April 18-22, 1995, Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) Kibeho massacre at a refugee camp of 150,000. Taylor names his sources as Ann Garrison, David Peterson and Terry Pickard, and a Canadian General who replaced General Dallaire in 1994.
