      Bouie pulled 2 quotes from the Sinha book: one from page 1 of the introduction, one from page 2. Book doesn't actually address emancipation except in a summary page at the end. You should read the Paulus book. And Richard Newman's book on abolitionism. and McPherson & Wilentz,

      2. I love the way he writes that Garrison would have been irrelevant without Garrisonians like Phillip's and for a long time Douglass. He says abolition was an irrelevant minority movement. Yeah if you also dont count women and blacks in the north?

      Irrelevant? No. Marginal. There's a difference. Second-wave abolitionists were on the margins of American politics until they joined forces with the Free Soil movement. (Women didn't vote, & black Americans in the north did not always have the right to, either.)

          OK. But what's interesting is this "marginal" group has been blamed for the Civil War since Appomattox.

          Of course they were. It was easier than blaming the fire-eaters.

          The free soil party and the Republican were essentially founded by abolitionists, Chase Sumner et al and we need to have a more capacious understanding of politics than just electoral politics. Eventually though women and blacks also influenced the rise of antislavery politics.

          I don't disagree with that, but expanding the Republicans to something with more impact on governance & the law than the Liberty Party or the Free Soil Party required a coalition broader than what existed in the 1830s-40s.

          People that spend their lives believing that writing op eds for established-brand outlets counts as a tangible accomplishment often lose sight of what meaningful work really looks like. Baseballcrank is like a professional food critic that thinks farmers are beneath him.

          I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the crank disagrees with on of the main themes of People’s History. The idea that ordinary people are the real change agents is a dangerous one though to many.

          So your interpretation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act would only credit the passage to the work of members of Congress since they were the only ones voting on the bill and not any of the activists or protests outside of Congress. That's essentially what you're saying.
