SLAVERY IN DISGUISE - 1892

Author: Forgotten News Podcast February 27, 2019 Duration: 41:08
The tragic story of how, during the years between the late 1870s and early 1940s, the states of the American South used the criminal courts to effectively re-establish slavery for hundreds of thousands of black people, and poor whites -- through forced work on privately-owned plantations, mines and factories -- withstanding the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, and the prohibition added to the U.S. Constitution in 1864.   Also: Police Blotter & Court News - July 27, 1855.      HISTORICAL REFERENCES  Slavery In Disguise:  The Atlanta Constitution, July 17 & August 13, 1893.

There’s a certain kind of story that crackles with urgency when it breaks, dominating conversations and front pages, only to vanish completely a few years later. FORGOTTEN NEWS PODCAST goes looking for those stories. Each episode is a deep dive into a different moment that once captivated the public, an event or figure that seemed indelible but somehow slipped through the cracks of our collective memory. You’ll hear about scandals that toppled empires of reputation, inventions that promised to change everything, and personal dramas that played out on a very public stage-all now quietly gathering dust in old newspaper archives and forgotten diaries. The aim isn’t just to recount these tales, but to understand why they resonated so powerfully in their moment and explore what their disappearance says about how we remember. It’s a process of careful excavation, piecing together narratives from primary sources, historical accounts, and the cultural echoes that remain. Tuning into this podcast feels like opening a long-lost trunk in the attic; every story is presented with the immediacy it once held, allowing you to experience the surprise, outrage, or wonder just as an audience did decades or even centuries ago. These are the headlines that time edited out, brought back to life.
