  • 43: Genocide In the Name of Democracy - The French Revolution and the Extermination of the Catholic Vendèe

    43: Genocide In the Name of Democracy - The French Revolution and the Extermination of the Catholic Vendèe
    Jul 5 2024
    The justification to single out and exterminate another group of people can come from any group coalesced around any ideological system of belief, be it religious or secular in nature. In Revolutionary France, the secular forces of the newly established French Republic were threatened on all sides by the old system of empire they had just overthrown in the guise of the Christian Empires of Europe, a form of civilization that had repressed the French people for many centuries, as they saw it. However, the Catholic peasantry known as the Vendèe, interpreted current events differently, viewing the French Revolution as the overthrow of a divinely appointed monarch by secular heretics. After a year long war with the Vendèe from 1893 to 1894, when the Vendèe were defeated at the Second Battle of Cholet in October of 1894, the Committee of Public Safety ordered the eradication of the Vendèe in the name of preserving the French Republic.

  • 42: Anti-Gay Idaho - A History of Proposition 1

    42: Anti-Gay Idaho - A History of Proposition 1
    Jun 26 2024
    The rallying cry of the pro Prop 1 crowd was "stop gay special rights." They felt that if gay people in Idaho were labeled a minority officially, they'd be protected from discrimination in the workplace and other public organizations like schools and libraries. They said gay people were not a minority like black people or Latinos because they chose to be gay and live "immorally," whereas true minorities had no choice. Proposition 1, claimed the Idaho Citizens Alliance after submitting the initiative for the November 1994 ballot, would prevent this from happening. The LGBT community and others opposed to Prop 1 said the intiative was active discrimination, and all they wanted was fair treatment, not discrimination because they were gay. In 1993 and 1994, the debate filled the headlines in Idaho and without. However, only the pro prop 1 crowd continually applied hatefilled rhetoric and blatant lies to attack LGBT people.

  • 41: The Bracero Program - Mexican Nationals Enduring Discrimination in WWII Era Idaho and The Pacific Northwest

    41: The Bracero Program - Mexican Nationals Enduring Discrimination in WWII Era Idaho and The Pacific Northwest
    Jun 13 2024
    From 1942 until 1948, Mexican citizens came to the United States at the behest of the federal government to fill the labor gaps created by the increased need for agricultural production during WWII. They bolstered the agricultural economy of the United States and proved an asset to the development of our nation, but they also face rampant racism and discrimination, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Idaho, of all the Pac NW States, proved the worst and the Mexican government restricted their citizens from working for growers there in October of 1948. However, most of the Braceros endured as did Mexican laborers using H2-A and H2-B Visas after 1964. Enduring hardship, after all, is a common theme in American history and Mexican laborers known as the Braceros did just that. In that regard, their descendants, those that became American citizens and endured similar bigotry are quintessentially American.
