They love to say the South wore the chains and the North broke them. But in this episode, I explain how the North wasn’t the savior — it was the silent partner in Black bondage. From Ivy League schools built on slavery to Wall Street built over the bodies of Africans, I follow the blood money, the myths, and the buried truth. The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t free the North’s enslaved. Lincoln didn’t save us. We saved ourselves. And some of us are still in chains.
