2/2:These people understood that no black person was safe and without their resistance, there could be no movement against slavery #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

1/2: Those who had the most to gain played a large part in freedoms arrival because exploitation touched them like no one else #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

The great war burns a hole in the heart of our nations history but the road to emancipation was a longer process than just the war #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

2/2: Most notably blacks would be people. According to Berlin, the opposition to slavery is equality not freedom #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

1/2: Possibility of freedom raised questions about what would happen after emancipation #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Free blacks spoke for all black people because if blackness and slavery were connected free blacks would be treated as slaves too #HIST110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Berlin argues that the interconnectedness of each of these 4 elements emphasized the movement of emancipation not a moment #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

3/3: And the ubiquity of violence. Ultimately the great war was a fitting climax to history of violence that defined emancipation #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

2/3: The near single minded commitment of some men and women, how equality was defined in the period, drawn from bible and D of I #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

1/3: The Key to understanding emancipation can be found not in escalating stages but revealed by looking at 4 key elements #HIST1110

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Ira Berlin emphasizes that emancipation must be viewed not as a moment, but rather as a process of a movement culminating in war #HIST1110

Baby its cold outside #bcpop

[Brandon Wu @GrandMaster_Wu]

LG's "Born This Way" was great. I loved the techno backbeat and how LG changed her vocal pitches throughout the song. #bcpop

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Born this way is our version of Madonnas Express Yourself. It even has the same back beat! #bcpop

[Brandon Wu @GrandMaster_Wu]

I got a lot of different vibes from "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa." I definitely heard the Caribbean and African influences and syncopation #bcpop

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

The repetitive guitar licks in Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa makes the song feel very stagnant #bcpop

[Joe Stein @joesteinbcpop]

"Senorita" - not surprisingly, Justin Timberlake of 12 years ago sounds just as good as present-day Justin Timberlake. #bcpop

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Señorita definitely shows a different side of Timberlake than we saw in his boy band days. A much more slow song focusing on lyrics #bcpop

[Brian Fiascone @BFiascone]

Bye Bye Bye has an upbeat tempo that makes the song very catchy, not to mention the easy chorus makes it easy to sing along with #bcpop

[Brandon Wu @GrandMaster_Wu]

"Oops! I Did It Again" is a classic. While Spear's voice is mildly irritating in this song, its catchiness far outweighs this. #bcpop
