    The Completely Avoidable Collapse of Poland
    Aug 11 2025
    In the early 17th century, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth stood as one of Europe’s largest and most formidable states, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. By 1618, its territory had expanded to twice the size of France, thanks to military victories against Muscovy during the chaotic “Time of Troubles.” But that glory also came at the cost of internal stagnation and decay.

    The Greatest Escape From Slavery: Ellen And William Craft
    Aug 4 2025
    In the mid 19th century in Macon, Georgia, a man and woman fell in love, married and, as many young couples do, began thinking about starting a family. But Ellen and William Craft were both enslaved and were well aware that any of their future children could be ripped away at any moment and sold as property. So, they devised a bold escape plan.
