J C D CLARK LECTURE RE HIS BOOK ON THOMAS PAINE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQin6KDobhI

"African Slavery In America" is not by Paine.

Paine, it turns out, was neither an anti slavery nor an anti imperialist activist.

Although he hung out with Mary Wollstonecraft a lot, same circle, apparently, he took no activist interest whatsoever in the Wollstonecraft's rights of women as a cause, according to Clark.

Paine cared as little about emancipating women as Lincoln.

Zero!
