Hello and welcome to Prism of the Past, a semi-weekly series all about historical events, people, and situations from the fascinating to the forgotten.

I'm the Illuminati, and today we're from the fascinating to the forgotten.

I'm the aluminati and today we're going to talk about the Confederacy.

Now in case you don't know the Confederacy was one of the sides of the Civil War in the United

States and its symbols and statues are still present in America today.

But starting today, I'm going to take you through a short three-part series to explain why the Confederacy should be left in our history, why myths

about it still persist, and how we can change that perception going forward.

I want to put a big content warning here because this episode is going to dive deep into the history of racism, the Civil War, and the Confederacy, all of which can be very sensitive topics.

We will also briefly touch on the KKK and Jim Crow. If you don't think you can stick

around for this one, I completely understand. This was a rough one for me to go through as well,

so if you need to see me in the next one, that's totally fine.

Also, an important note about the terminology that's going to be used throughout these

episodes, I try to refer to enslaved people as enslaved people because they themselves were people and deserve to be referred to as such.
