@UOJim not only early abolitionists, but Hawaiians and French and Spanish territories that weren’t yet America but very much predated their incorporation into it. Beto’s take is arguably *strongest* as an elite history and weakest as a “people’s history” — PolitiTweet.org

@UOJim This is a bit far afield from Beto, but I’ll say that I’ve often reflected, as a lifelong Westerner, on Spain as a mother country, and California as its own society not just from 1776 to 1850 but even after statehood, before the transcontinental railroad — PolitiTweet.org
