  • Summary

  • From famous founders to capitalist cooks, from sex scandals to the dirtiest blues song, AMERICAN FILTH dives into the filthier side of American history: uncovering people who society has largely excluded from the history books because they were too unconventional, provocative, seedy, dirty, trashy…. Or just plain filthy. And sure, some of these folks made great contributions to history. But that’s not the part of their lives AMERICAN FILTH is interested in. This podcast is here for the drama, the spice, and general tomfoolery. The weekly series of brisk episodes plunges face-first into the dirtiest events and people in the annals of American history.

    A Week Of Bleeding Kansas

    Hello, I'm from the past (yesterday). How's the post-election world? Does the USA still exist? Well, let's go back in time and look at another election. This time, Kansas 1855 when settlers were deciding if it should be a free state or a slave state.

    And because of that choice, in one week in 1856, pro-slavery ruffians sacked a town in Kansas, a senator got beat up with a cane, and abolitionists murdered three pro-slavery Kansans.

    A comedian said offensive stuff this week at a Trump gathering (is that what they're called?), so let's look at a comedian of yore, who fought for the right to say c**ks**ker on stage!
