0:27
and welcome to this day
0:29
a history podcast from Radiotopia.
0:31
My name is Jody Avergan.
0:33
This day we are marking five
0:36
years of doing this show which
0:38
started in March of 2020 a
0:40
very normal time in America and
0:43
the world. Here we are at
0:45
another very normal time. Nicole
0:47
here as always Nicole Hammer of
0:49
Vanderbilt and Kelly Carter Jackson of
0:52
Wellesley. Hello there and happy five
0:54
years of this day. Hello there,
0:56
five years. I remember us hiding out
0:58
in our closets and recording the first
1:01
year episodes. And look at how far we've
1:03
come. I'm still in a closet. You're in
1:05
a hotel. I know. I'll never forget. I
1:07
mean, I can never forget this day because
1:09
the day my daughter was born, March 12th
1:11
of 2020 is like the day the world
1:13
shut down. So five years to me always
1:16
feels pretty special, but. Yeah, and look,
1:18
we're doing this as part
1:20
of our Some Sunday Context
1:22
series, which are the Sunday
1:24
Conversations. We're trying to connect
1:27
history to the present. And
1:29
we're also doing this on YouTube.
1:31
So shout out to everyone watching
1:33
on YouTube. This is also a
1:35
little bit of a celebration. You
1:38
know, we don't have to run
1:40
through too many of the stats
1:42
and so forth. And hit a
1:44
few even before then. I think.
1:46
The last time I checked I haven't
1:49
run the stats in like six months
1:51
or so, but definitely the 60s is
1:53
the most covered decade We've changed the
1:55
name of the show once that was
1:57
not that We have this exact same
2:00
we get emails from time to time
2:02
and got a few as I put
2:04
a call out for any questions and
2:06
comments around the fifth anniversary. People ask
2:08
about the music all the time. So
2:10
our theme music is by Teen Days.
2:12
This guy in Vancouver, who writes great
2:14
music, shout out to him. And you
2:16
can actually download the theme song on
2:18
our website, this daypot.com. So go check
2:20
that out if you want the theme
2:22
song. We're also looking forward. There's a
2:24
lot more on the way. I think
2:26
people have heard us talk about next
2:28
year a big. year-long initiative we're going
2:30
to do around 2026 and the America's
2:32
250th birthday. And today I thought what
2:34
we could do is do something that
2:36
I think flows into that a little
2:38
bit, but I wanted to just talk
2:41
with you about what I see as
2:43
some of the big lessons and themes
2:45
we've learned about American history and see
2:47
how they feel like they connect to
2:49
now and then heading into the 250th
2:51
next year. I'll just say, I think
2:53
I've said this on the show before,
2:55
but to me, my relationship to this
2:57
show has changed in the last year
2:59
or so, in that at first, I
3:01
really loved, and I think the kind
3:03
of strength of the show was this
3:05
sort of jumping around, and we would
3:07
just like be in one year and
3:09
then be in another year, and we
3:11
would dive into a story and often
3:13
a little small one, often an esoteric
3:15
one, and we would just spend some
3:17
time in it, and then we'd dip
3:19
out and then we dip out and
3:21
move out and move on and move
3:23
on. You two are historians, so you've
3:25
probably owned this all along, but I
3:27
will confess that only in the last
3:29
year or so have I kind of
3:32
been able to just have a little
3:34
bit of like own a little bit
3:36
of like, okay, I think I see
3:38
some patterns here. And it's that whole
3:40
like, we were collecting dots for a
3:42
long time and now I've seen the
3:44
hell those dots connect. And so I'm
3:46
in that. The newsletter has been helped.
3:48
Yeah, pretty much so. And I mean,
3:50
you know, and I'm an amateur at
3:52
this history of this history stuff. I
3:54
want to own that a little bit
3:56
more. I have found it be a
3:58
very sort of satisfying phase in my
4:00
experience doing the show with the two
4:02
of you. And it's a big part
4:04
of what I think I'm excited about
4:06
for this year, when I think we
4:08
need some of that perspective, and then
4:10
next year when it's like America's going
4:12
to be... telling itself a story about
4:14
itself as it gets 250 and I
4:16
kind of feel like we have some
4:18
insight to offer now and so yeah.
4:20
What do you want to do? You
4:23
want to run through some of these
4:25
sort of basic themes and none of
4:27
you have to be a huge huge
4:29
surprise but these are some things that
4:31
we've learned so we're going to do
4:33
five themes for five years and these
4:35
are five things that have jumped out
4:37
to me across the many many many
4:39
stories we've done. So the first one
4:41
people are petty. a lot of times
4:43
when you're examining a historical moment, it
4:45
is a very fruitful first question to
4:47
ask, which is, who has beef with
4:49
who? You know, who's annoyed? Who has
4:51
backstory? Who's in the bad headspace? Sometimes
4:53
it's even like, you guys know I'm
4:55
obsessed with this, but what was the
4:57
weather like that day? Was someone running
4:59
on low sleep? Was it really hot?
5:01
You know, like, just that little texture
5:03
of people's interpersonal relationships. just defines these
5:05
massive events over and over and over
5:07
I found. So I think that's so
5:09
important because we do tend to go
5:11
straight toward ideology or like end goals
5:14
for why people are doing something. But
5:16
if you've ever met people, you know
5:18
that they're not really driven as much
5:20
by those things as much as they
5:22
are by like that bitchy crackers again.
5:24
Or to me, I feel like it's
5:26
the petty stuff that... really doesn't matter.
5:28
You know, I feel like all of
5:30
that sort of plays into how we
5:32
perceive people and what we want to
5:34
blow up to make big or whatever.
5:36
But I like knowing that people in
5:38
the past were just as petty as
5:40
we are because like it's easy to
5:42
like mark it down to like social
5:44
media and like our little grievances and
5:46
annoyances being part of something that's wrong
5:48
with us today, but it's something that's
5:50
always been wrong with us. Yeah. by
5:52
accident and not of my own volition.
5:54
I watched about 15 minutes of Hamilton
5:56
for the first time. I thought you
5:58
said you've never seen me! yourself. I've
6:00
never, I've never, I've never seen it.
6:02
No, it's about beef. My daughter, my
6:05
daughter was very interested in watching it
6:07
and so it got put on a movie
6:09
night and mostly I, it's just, it's not
6:11
for me. I just couldn't, I left the
6:14
room. But I will say in that little
6:16
bit that I picked up, it does a
6:18
very good job of that. The small beef,
6:20
the texture, the way that people are just
6:22
annoyed with each other for decades and so
6:24
I will give it. Yeah, and there's
6:26
nothing like the genre of hip-hop
6:29
to play a B, right? And
6:31
some pettings. I will say, and
6:33
my praise of Hamilton was, I
6:36
don't know why, I don't have
6:38
this vendettigous Hamilton, but it's just,
6:40
every time I think, I've brushed
6:43
up against him, it's not, it's
6:45
just, every time I think, I've
6:47
brushed up against him, it, it's
6:49
not, it's not, it's, it's not,
6:51
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
6:53
it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, play
6:56
out those those beefs. So we'll move
6:58
on to the next theme, but I
7:00
also want us to sort of keep
7:02
a log as we go of which
7:05
ones feel like they're useful for this
7:07
moment right now. And I will say,
7:09
as dire as the consequences of these
7:11
beefs are that we're living in right
7:14
now, like we've never maybe had
7:16
a collection of pettier people
7:18
in charge than this- Beef-
7:20
Petty officer! So, you know, yes.
7:22
Well, how central vengeance is to
7:25
his administration is remarkable. I
7:27
mean, even what's going on
7:29
in Columbia is all about petty.
7:31
Yeah. You're right. All right. What's your
7:33
next big theme? Our next big
7:35
theme is a history full of
7:37
mere disasters. There's so many episodes
7:40
we did where the world could
7:42
have ended. Our many, many presidents
7:45
could have been assassinated. There's so
7:47
many. attempts when we talked about
7:49
the atomic bomb that or not
7:51
the atomic bomb. It was armed
7:54
and it fell. Yes, yes, thank
7:56
you. And it's like, wait, what?
7:58
We could be that. close to
8:00
being on the brink of nuclear
8:03
disaster it just boggles the mind
8:05
and then I can't even recall
8:07
how many near presidential assassinations we've
8:09
had at least a handful you
8:11
know I think everyone's at some
8:13
point and I think it just
8:15
shows how violent America is. We
8:17
are always sort of on the
8:19
razor's edge of some sort of
8:22
catastrophe and also somehow we find
8:24
a way to bring it back.
8:26
Those episodes have always just sort
8:28
of like even get me little
8:30
chills just thinking about what might
8:32
have been, what could have been.
8:34
Historians study contingency and I think
8:36
those are the moments where you're
8:39
like Okay, yeah, like if one
8:41
thing tips the other way suddenly
8:43
you are in a nightmare scenario.
8:45
The missile crisis, like, yeah, it's
8:47
no joke. I find those moments
8:49
absolutely fascinating because there's a little
8:51
bit of like there but for
8:53
the grace of God, but it's
8:56
just like, we're on a razor's
8:58
edge quite a lot. Mm-hmm. Yeah,
9:00
so is there a weird... Is
9:02
there any part of you that's
9:04
like comforted or contextualized by that?
9:06
Does it put the disasters that
9:08
do happen in a little more
9:10
context that they are actually not
9:13
that big of outliers given how
9:15
many so near misses there have
9:17
been? I mean, I find them
9:19
interesting because they scratch the creative
9:21
part of my brain, but I
9:23
don't know that I find them
9:25
comforting. Even as I was saying
9:27
that I didn't find myself comforting.
9:30
I'm not comforted by the fact
9:32
that we are not that many
9:34
steps away from people making bad
9:36
decisions. Actually, maybe one step away
9:38
from a person making a bad
9:40
decision. And sometimes it's not even
9:42
a bad decision. It's just a
9:44
mistake or carelessness or things that
9:47
happen. And I never know what...
9:49
to make of that. You would
9:51
hope that people will be a
9:53
little bit more careful when things
9:55
like this almost happened, but people
9:57
never really are. We forget and
9:59
we move on. I also feel
10:01
like we're living in a quarter
10:04
century where we keep losing the
10:06
coin toss. You know what I
10:08
mean? Like, things have not fallen
10:10
in a good direction since Bush
10:12
v Gore. And certainly, I mean,
10:14
obviously, even among all the scary
10:16
disasters, there's like different levels. This
10:18
country has survived assassinations and even
10:21
wars, but we've done an episode
10:23
about being one button away from...
10:25
the US and the Soviet Union
10:27
sending nuclear missiles at each other,
10:29
that's a whole other level. So
10:31
it's important to keep in mind
10:33
when we say near disaster that
10:35
can mean a number of different
10:37
things. Yeah. Well and by near
10:40
disaster we also mean there were
10:42
mechanisms in place that acted as
10:44
safeguards and snapped in and at
10:46
a moment when the safeguards are
10:48
all being taken away I feel
10:50
less comforted. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
10:52
I do too. Let's move on
10:54
to our next one, our next
10:57
theme theme. Which is also not
10:59
uplifting. Which is fine, that's a
11:01
history is not a bedtime story.
11:03
No, it's a nightmare. One big
11:05
theme that comes through again and
11:07
again is this idea of backlash.
11:09
That for every story of progress
11:11
that we have to tell a
11:14
victory for greater inclusion, for more
11:16
freedom, what happens very quickly after
11:18
is a story of backlash. And
11:20
it's kind of incredible that personal
11:22
liberties and sort of like citizenship
11:24
and rights have grown as much
11:26
as they have over the course
11:28
of US history, given how persistent
11:31
and how sustained backlash is in
11:33
American history. This is something I
11:35
think a lot about today, because
11:37
one of the things that I've
11:39
learned from this show is how
11:41
brief those windows of opportunity are
11:43
for what I think of as
11:45
progressive and positive change. Obviously, one
11:48
that we go back to again
11:50
and again is reconstruction. Yeah, and
11:52
how breath-taking it is. that you
11:54
have this moment where you can
11:56
legitimately call it. the United States'
11:58
second founding, that we rewrote the
12:00
social and political contract, that millions
12:02
of people were freed from enslavement
12:05
and were granted citizenship and were
12:07
granted the right to vote, and
12:09
there was an opportunity to rebuild
12:11
the United States in a much
12:13
more liberty-driven way, and that window
12:15
slammed shut. so fast. And they
12:17
would take both good and bad
12:19
from that, right? Like, so much
12:22
was accomplished in just a few
12:24
years. Yeah. And you only got
12:26
a few years. Yeah, that was
12:28
it. And in some cases, not
12:30
even a few years, I mean,
12:32
it was that swift and that
12:34
fast. You can never rest on
12:36
your laurels. You know, like when
12:39
you get these victories, you think
12:41
everyone passed themselves on the back
12:43
and it's going like, all right,
12:45
we're good. And it's like, no,
12:47
you hold and you hold and
12:49
you hold because you cannot sort
12:51
of relinquish that victory because it
12:53
can be snatched away at any
12:55
moment. And we are absolutely seeing
12:58
that. we've talked about this on
13:00
the show a little bit before
13:02
but the kind of other thing
13:04
I just am puzzling through is
13:06
how asymmetrical sometimes this can be
13:08
so your moments of progress or
13:10
your little inches towards progress often
13:12
met with a backlash that feels
13:15
at least much much much much
13:17
bigger it's not two steps forward
13:19
one step back sometimes it's one
13:21
step forward three steps back you
13:23
know which means you're going backwards
13:25
if you do the math but
13:27
you know it's not just kind
13:29
of oh it swings in one
13:32
direction swings in the other backlash
13:34
is the right word. It's an
13:36
active sort of hard push in
13:38
the other direction. And this is,
13:40
you know, I think a lot
13:42
of it has to do with
13:44
the fact that, you know, when
13:46
you're gaining rights, you maybe don't
13:49
know what you have in front
13:51
of you. And then the people
13:53
who feel like rights are being
13:55
taken away from them, which I
13:57
generally think is not the case,
13:59
it's not a zero-sum game in
14:01
this country, but the people who
14:03
feel like... rights are being taken
14:06
away from them because they have
14:08
felt there's a sense of loss
14:10
there. That's why I think a
14:12
lot of that sort of really
14:14
over reaction in the backlash comes
14:16
from this kind of like when
14:18
you're coming at rights from two
14:20
different directions it leads to this
14:23
symmetrical. But also people who are
14:25
driving backlash are the ones who
14:27
have the most social and political
14:29
and economic power. But it's because
14:31
they feel it right but they
14:33
feel it's slipping away. Yeah right
14:35
or right but then they have
14:37
the resources to... fight back in
14:40
a way that folks who are
14:42
trying to scrape for new rights
14:44
don't have access to those things.
14:46
But obviously a huge, I mean,
14:48
the defining element I think in
14:50
our politics and culture right now
14:52
is backlash. And I think that's
14:54
a huge part of when we
14:56
look to next year, I think
14:59
that's going to be one of
15:01
the big defining stories that we
15:03
tell you. Any other thoughts? But
15:05
here's the positive thing that I
15:07
just want to say very quickly,
15:09
which is the thing that it
15:11
has made me think is that
15:13
we got to open. And so
15:16
we have to be ready for
15:18
when it does. And I think
15:20
that there's something really useful about
15:22
that because it encourages all of
15:24
us to think about what is
15:26
the world you want to live
15:28
in. And how are you going
15:30
to get there? Yeah. Yeah. In
15:33
print or here on the podcast,
15:35
the New Yorker brings you thoughtfulness
15:37
and depth and even humor that
15:39
you can't find anywhere else. So
15:41
please join me every week for
15:43
the New Yorker Radio Hour, wherever
15:46
you listen to podcasts. Guess what
15:48
Americans really don't want to pay
15:50
their taxes over and over and
15:53
over so many stories feel like
15:55
they come down to just basically
15:57
that you know from the whiskey
16:00
rebellion and sort of a lot
16:02
of the sort of early revolutionary
16:04
fervor to you know like domestic
16:06
terrorism a lot of that comes
16:09
down to down to that so I don't
16:11
know how much more I have to say
16:13
other than just Americans don't want to pay
16:15
your taxes other than you know even that
16:17
kind of framing of it's you paying
16:20
your taxes as opposed to you funding
16:22
the government for things that
16:24
generally people want you know when you
16:26
ask them do you want your government to
16:28
do this most people say yes most people
16:31
like a sort of robust government offers social
16:33
services and so forth but we've just conceived
16:35
of it in this country in a way
16:37
that makes people feel like you know someone
16:39
is coming and taking something from me and part
16:41
of that I will say is nuts and bolts
16:44
like just the actual way we pay taxes
16:46
I mean people joke about this all time but
16:48
it's like the government comes to you and it's
16:50
like I know how much you owe me,
16:52
but you have to guess. If you
16:54
get it wrong, then you're going to
16:56
jail. Then you're going to be in
16:59
trouble. It's like, can you just tell me
17:01
that? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. So
17:03
I just think the whole dynamic of
17:05
how we pay our taxes just colors
17:07
this idea of what taxes are for
17:09
and why people are. I mean, so
17:11
much anxiety. Yeah, people don't want to
17:14
pay taxes, but at the same time,
17:16
people feel deeply entitled to certain services.
17:18
I mean, just a few weeks ago,
17:20
when we talked about paying for toilets,
17:22
like the use of a public restroom,
17:24
I'm not painies, the restroom, you know,
17:26
that's just the irony of it for
17:28
me, is like, how can you be
17:31
demanding for the things that you want? I
17:33
will throw out one little thing that
17:35
I gleaned from recently reading a minitious
17:37
and has the rise and fall of
17:39
the Second American Republic, which is about
17:41
reconstruction and its aftermath. She talks about
17:43
how freed people who were living in
17:45
the South, I can't remember quite the
17:47
location, but there was a bill passed
17:49
to get rid of taxation and they
17:51
rebelled against it, but they protested against
17:53
it because they were like, no, we
17:56
want to be taxed, we want to
17:58
pay taxes, because those taxes great. the
18:00
schools that we are desperate to
18:02
send our children to. We want
18:04
to be able to pay the
18:06
teachers, tax us. I should call
18:08
that the perhaps the only pro-tax
18:10
revolt in US history. Wow, that's
18:12
fascinating. That is. Maybe we should do
18:14
that and end up. Yeah. Perfect. All
18:16
right, our final one, five lessons for
18:18
five years. What is our final one?
18:20
That? is that we are constantly fighting
18:23
the Civil War. We are constantly reframing
18:25
the Civil War. We are constantly contesting
18:27
the Civil War. The Civil War has
18:30
never ended. This is a conversation I
18:32
had with Wright Thompson in New York
18:34
where he was like, all of this
18:36
shows me the South One. We are
18:39
constantly in these battles about who won,
18:41
who lost, who gets to shape the
18:43
narrative. Yeah, who gets to shape how
18:46
these stores are told. The statues that
18:48
come out of this, the murals, the
18:50
art, the relic, the textbooks
18:53
are highly contested. And I
18:55
think that's just because the
18:57
Civil War implies that the stakes
18:59
are so high, the way that we
19:02
think about liberty and freedom
19:04
and democracy and even our
19:06
own economy, the sticks are
19:08
so high that we have
19:10
not settled this issue yet far
19:12
from it. It really does feel like
19:15
the... animating
19:17
fight in the United States ever
19:19
since. I mean, it was the,
19:21
it was the animating fight before
19:23
the Civil War, it was the
19:25
animating fight during the Civil War,
19:27
and it continues to be the
19:30
animating fight. And even though, you
19:32
know, as we mentioned earlier, you
19:34
have those reconstruction amendments that do
19:36
fundamentally rewrite the contract, those get
19:38
contested immediately. We are still fighting
19:40
over the 14th Amendment. Yeah. This
19:42
is one of the biggest fights
19:44
that's happening right now in US legal
19:46
circles is... How much what what
19:49
should the 14th Amendment mean?
19:51
And that contestation that is
19:53
happening right now between conservative
19:55
jurists and non-conservative jurists is
19:58
about the civil war. Yeah. civil
20:00
war meant and what it settled and what
20:02
it didn't settle. Yeah. It just makes me
20:04
think, do you think that the people who
20:06
were living in the 1860s would have thought
20:08
150 years from now? This won't be settled.
20:11
You know, 150 years from now, we will
20:13
still be debating and actively trying to dismantle
20:15
or reconstruct like these ideas. I don't know
20:17
that Robert Lee would think 150 years later
20:19
people would still be fighting to keep his
20:22
statue alive. But at the same time, and
20:24
this is another kind of big meta thing
20:26
I feel like I've learned, but people actively
20:28
fight to write history in real time, right?
20:30
Absolutely. So, you know, maybe they didn't say,
20:32
okay, 150 years from now, this will be
20:35
unsettled, but there was, you know, we've done
20:37
episodes on the bloody shirt fight. deriding of
20:39
people who were telling one story of the
20:41
Civil War and trying to replace it with
20:43
another. If you're not doing that, I guess
20:46
your question is, are you doing that just
20:48
because of your goals in the moment, or
20:50
are you doing that to leave a legacy
20:52
and write a history? I don't know. I
20:54
will also say that the other thing that
20:56
I think about in this fight over the
20:59
meaning of the Civil War, if the original
21:01
sin of the not holding people accountable. Yes.
21:03
And we are living with the consequences of
21:05
that problem, that mistake, that error, that decision.
21:07
There's been no consequences. There's been no accountability
21:10
and there's been no sustainable reparation. And I
21:12
don't mean like reparations like pay us for
21:14
safety. I mean, well that, but more. Reparative
21:16
work to sort of heal the parts that
21:18
have been. broken. Do you know what I
21:20
mean? Like there's there has not even in
21:23
the efforts that that words are sort of
21:25
like addressed. of that harm has not lasted.
21:27
Well, that's another big theme is this country
21:29
just likes to really like to keep it
21:31
moving, you know, and it doesn't like the
21:33
same. Which at times, you know, there's a
21:36
part of me that does by the argument
21:38
that is a part of sort of whatever
21:40
you want to call it American exceptionalism or
21:42
what makes this country special at times is
21:44
that it does have that amnesia. I mean,
21:47
Nikki, you talked a minute ago about how
21:49
like... when things swing back things can swing
21:51
really fast you get these windows where you
21:53
can make a lot of progress and maybe
21:55
that has a little to do with the
21:57
fact that we don't stop down and go
22:00
into paralysis I don't know but yes it
22:02
is remarkable how much we just don't convene
22:04
and talk and to this point you know
22:06
kind of settle on a collective story, you
22:08
know, and that leaves just a vacuum for
22:11
everyone to fight over it. So, okay, those
22:13
are our five themes, as we said, not
22:15
the sunniest. I want to throw in one
22:17
bonus, always, there are lots of animal stories
22:19
that are wonderful throughout American history. It's important
22:21
to point that out. We love weird animal
22:24
stories. We have a whole section on our
22:26
YouTube page of all of our animal stories
22:28
collected, but yes. Animals play a big part
22:30
in American history. We love our pets. Our
22:32
pets are squirrels that are invading our White
22:35
House lawn. And we hate rats. And we
22:37
hate rats. rodents in general are not getting
22:39
a good showing on this show. We will
22:41
hunt a bear, but then also turn it
22:43
into a cute. Stuff doll that will turn
22:45
into our nickname. Yeah, we love our animals.
22:48
We would throw beavers out of airplanes with
22:50
parishes. With little goggles and parishes. You know
22:52
what? Jody, we don't have to wear goggles.
22:54
You know what? Jody, we don't have to
22:56
be that stuck on the historical record. Fair
22:59
enough. Fair enough. All right. Happy fifth to
23:01
the two of you. Happy fifth to everyone
23:03
listening. We really appreciate all your support over
23:05
the years. And of course we have lots
23:07
more great stories coming up for year six
23:09
and beyond. Nicole Hammer, thanks to you as

23:51
just very natural. fell
23:53
