Listen "RIHP 8: Keith Stokes on Newport's Involvement in the Triangle Trade and "American Irony""
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back!
For this episode I invited Keith Stokes on to talk about his notion of "American Irony." By this, Mr. Stokes is referring to the ironic position of Newport, RI as one of the country's most religiously tolerant settlements while it participated in the slave trade more than any other New England port.
