Metin ErenGUEST
This is one reason why to understand the mechanics of prehistoric colonization, North America's so valuable, right? And I think there's some regions in particular, like the Great Lakes and New England, that are really great, because you had glaciers covering the Great Lakes.
Steven RinellaHOST
Oh.
Metin ErenGUEST
And so when the glaciers recede, and we get the very-

Uh, Ben Galt in, in New England found a Clovis point or a fluted point from Nantucket Island, and he said, "Hey, like, I'm interested.
Metin ErenGUEST

Coleman HughesHOST
But first, I want, I wanna, I wanna know a little bit about your, your background.
Coleman HughesHOST
I mean, you've, you've told the story of, of, of growing up, uh, i- in Chicago and then moving to, um, um, moving to New England and being a Boy Scout and your first experience with racism, but it's such a compelling story.
Coleman HughesHOST
I think, you know, everyone should, should hear it, even if they've heard it before.
Coleman HughesHOST
So can you t- tell me that story and, and how it, how it framed your kind of second career after being a musician?
Daryl DavisGUEST
Sure, I'd be glad to.
Daryl DavisGUEST

Daryl DavisGUEST
My father, uh, my parents are from Virginia, and my father became one of the first Black Secret Service agents in this country.
Daryl DavisGUEST
He wanted to be an FBI agent, but, uh, J. Edgar Hoover, who was the head of the FBI, was a racist, a chauvinist, and many other things, and he had no Blacks and no women in the FBI and did not want any.
Gary ArndtHOST
The Pilgrims had landed in the wrong spot, but in the grand scheme of things, their access to the world's greatest fishery, just seven hundred and fifty nautical miles from the western edge of the Grand Banks, would more than make up for their mistake.
Gary ArndtHOST
To support the emerging industry, New England, much like the medieval Hanseatic League, built an extensive infrastructure that included timber and rope making.
Gary ArndtHOST
The cod fisheries became the first major industry in North America, producing a wealthy merchant class in New England cities such as Boston and Salem.
Gary ArndtHOST
The cod boom and the need to protect the wealth that it created from British interference helped facilitate the discontent that would explode into the American Revolution.
Gary ArndtHOST
The New England Historical Society notes the importance that the British acts like the Sugar Act had on the New England cod industry.
Gary ArndtHOST
They note, quote, "By seventeen sixty-four, the British planters convinced Parliament to pass the Sugar Act, which put a tariff on sugar and banned the import of non-British rum.
Gary ArndtHOST
Parliament did something else to harm New England fishing interests.
Gary ArndtHOST
It banned trade with the French in North America.
Sascha Clark DanylchukGUEST
So yeah, ended up spending, as I said, like, almost 10 years in The Bahamas, um, working on bonefish and a bunch of other, uh, fisheries down there.
Sascha Clark DanylchukGUEST
Yeah, and then moved, moved to New England.
Sascha Clark DanylchukGUEST
Didn't think I'd ever live in a place that was cold after, after The Bahamas, but, uh, yeah.

Nate SloanGUEST
Hm
Charlie HardingGUEST

Charlie HardingGUEST
I believe it was the Grammys.
Mary RileyGUEST

It's impossible to go with you anywhere in any state in New England without you running into people that you helped deliver.
Mary RileyGUEST
[laughs]
Mirav OzeriHOST
It's crazy.
SteveHOST
We had storm day, but then, uh, you know, a little bit of time off.

R. Douglas HurtGUEST
This was a crop produced solely for commercial purposes primarily, and they had brought considerable money into farmhomes and planter homes for those who had the technical ability to produce it.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
In other areas, for example, New England, the soil is very parsimonious.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
The climate is colder throughout much of the year.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
And it was primarily an agricultural economy that was not one which had a particular crop that was dominant for surplus production.

R. Douglas HurtGUEST
The enlistment for the Continental Army required three years' commitment.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
For the militia, militia came together and dispersed as the need required.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
And some of the militias in the New England states, the Chesapeake area, even the South, might be organized for several months' time.
R. Douglas HurtGUEST
And this took a considerable amount of manpower away from farms, particularly at plowing time, but especially at harvest time for wheat and corn.
C. R. WileyHOST
And when it comes to...
C. R. WileyHOST
even places like, like new England where I remember when I was, um, you know, growing up, uh, in Western Pennsylvania, when I would imagine the East coast, it was just like Brooklyn forever.
