It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US.

And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.

Very true. Doing research on social movements in Ontario in the 1990s, I found really good coverage from local papers. Most of them are now gone. We need to recreate journalism on a new basis, I think. Big challenge.
