On today’s episode, we chat about two heroes of the American civil war who fought against frightful odds to secure better lives for themselves and their people. First is the incredible story of Robert Smalls, who at 22 years old decided on an audacious plan to escape slavery and escape to the Union. Then The History Guy will talk about Abraham Galloway, who escaped slavery only to return to the south to act as a union spy.
