Lord Byron, the famous poet, was taken down by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1869. Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin before the Civil War and helped end slavery, but after the war she talked to Lady Byron and she told Stowe that her husband had a long affair with his own sister. The Decoder Ring Podcast investigates the story as well as how its publication nearly bankrupted The Atlantic Magazine when it published it.

When I was at school in the late 50’s we were taught the civil war was the War on NORTHERN aggression and that blacks were 3/5 human and a different race so much for reconstruction.Someone forgot to tell Alabama about that.😂😂
