Episode 103 | Proof Fashion Will Get You Anywhere

This week, Theresa takes us on a jaunt through history to share about the Wide Awakes, the Republican political movement that elected Lincoln president during the fateful 1860 election. 

Started by Eddie Yergason, who made a cloak to wear to prevent his clothes from getting messed up by the torch he'd carry during a rally that Cassius Clay was speaking at, he galvanizes the party. 

We might have just uncovered Theresa's new Roman Empire, as she touches on so many previous episodes. 

This episode pairs well with: 
General Harriet Tubman
Cassius Marcellus Clay
Robert Smalls
