Ep. 71 Robert Smalls

We have a nice inspirational story for you today, dear listeners! Robert Smalls is credited as being the final factor to sway Lincoln into allowing freed blacks to join the Union Army to fight against the Confederacy, and for good reason. After the most mild slave escape I've ever heard about, he went on to give the northerners a ton of information that assisted their efforts. And he took an active role as a boat pilot in several engagements. Dude was a badass and you'll definitely enjoy his story!
