1811: The Murder of George

*In this episode, there is some slight background noise. The podcast mascots (Fletcher, Claire, and Nox) are the culprits and they apologize (not really) for the slight distraction.*
It was called the 'Year of Miracles'. But, was it really? If brutal murder, earthquakes, and a squirrel migration in the millions is your ideal of a miracle then, maybe. This week the ONUC gals discuss the murder of George, the 'Year of Miracles', and how this case directly ties back to a previous episode. This was a wild year in the United States and that's why this is the longest episode we've done. Given the importance of this case, we aren't sorry for the length.
Trigger Warning Level: Medium
This case involves the brutal murder of a slave and discussion of suicide.
Description begins at 53:30 and ends at 55:55.
We are putting the other 'names' George is able to be searched by here. This is only so his story can be found in the event anyone searches for information on this case.
George Lewis - Slave George - Lilburn Lewis' Slave George
