    The text also provides a brief, but significant meditation on the importance of virtue and character to sustaining a democratic society.

    In this text, Easton gives us a powerful account of the interior logic of racial prejudice: how to understand it, its relationship to social life, its relationship to slavery, and how it can live beyond slavery.

    In honor of Black History Month, I'm recommending texts. We turn today to Hosea Easton's underappreciated text, A Treatise On the Intellectual Character, and Civil and Political Condition of the Colored People of the U. States.

    It is distressing to read Edmund Burke pair democracy with the death of moral imagination while our institutions just prioritized the will of a hateful criminal over the good of the people. At the moment moral imagination in America is dead in those places where it is most needed

    In this text, you will get a vision of Christian Republicanism, freedom, and feminism. As with Walker's Appeal from yesterday, Stewart has a deep concern with the fate of human souls and the way those souls are arrested or deformed by the workings of slavery and white supremacy.

    Absolutely not. We put in the work to ensure power was returned to the grassroots, we will be following the rules set forth by the DNC. We will not bend on this, we will not change our rules.

    I don't know what's going on. Trump's acquittal is assured and democrats are changing rules and trying to fix rules to stop Sanders. There are differences, but put that to the side for the moment. I need a damn drink.

    The institutions will now reflect the moral bankruptcy of the Republican party.

    As it stands now, the system cannot effectively absorb what the republican party has become. Rather, it will only mirror the moral bankruptcy that defines the Republican party.

    It is also why, at least for the American Framers, that no matter how good a constitutional structure turned out to be, it could never effectively be run by a "race of devils."

    This danger is precisely why virtue and character still needed to have a place within our republic--it would serve as the last line of defense against perversion of the kind described above.

    That the Democrats are unable to secure witnesses is not a function of a process foreign to the system, it will be argued, but is merely the outcome of the procedural logic.

    Perversion, so used, is a very peculiar thing. It permits one to speak about the procedural integrity, of, lets say an impeachment trial, whose outcome is deemed legitimate because it appears that one has effectively followed the rules.

    But they did not imagine that all virtue would be absent or that an executive could seduce so many members of congress so as to effectively capture the system and pervert the functioning of the constitutional order altogether.
