Spoke to us at the American Historical Association in january. This is about 20 minutes. Bill we are joined by randolph roth, history professor at ohio state university, here to talk to us about Mass Violence and Domestic Violence. Mass violence has a certain connotation today. How would it have been different in the 1850s . Prof. Roth it was very different, because in our past, mass killings were very common. But it was a group activity. You just did not have the technology for an individual to kill as many people as you do today. When you are talking about violence done with knives or swords or muzzleloading firearms, you know, it takes a while to reload. Even if you are skilled, it takes 30 seconds to reload one of those things. By the time you pour in the powder, put on the percussion cap, and get ready, the person you are trying to kill should be half a mile away. It is very difficult. These were mass murderers where a lot of people got together to do these things. We can get exam
