Dr. Lucas Morel, politics professor at W&L, takes the soapbox. CLUE: It wasn’t all about slavery.

In our latest edition of the Soapbox, Dr. Lucas Morel, explains how the principles our founders used to form this nation were based on the unalienable rights first outlined in the Declaration of Independence, not on a desire to support slavery. He also discusses how schools too often skip this history and how his latest book will answer a lot of questions plaguing our political culture today.
