wrong. similarly, 56% say the trial was fair, and 44% say unfair. ted koppel spoke to trump supporters on the campaign trail. >> fake news. >> reporter: it's mid-april in an open field at the edge of schmicksville on the outskirts of allentown, pennsylvania. winter has not entirely surrendered. the faithful have been lining up since late morning although mr. trump is not expected before early evening. >> on a day like today, it's cold. >> it is. >> it's wet. >> yep. >> it's nasty. >> yep. >> what the hell brings you out here? >> the truth, freedom. we want our freedoms. that's what we're here for, freedom. >> nobody cares about the working class. you don't care about us. you want your ratings on cbs, and you want to lift up that

idiot in the white house. >> okay. you've already made up your mind about me. >> no, i'm not saying you. i'm sorry if you thought that. >> that's all right. >> i'm saying the media. you have been lying to the american people long enough. >> reporter: this rally took place weeks before any verdict in trump's new york trial had been reached. but the faithful weren't going to be swayed by any verdict delivered by a new york jury. >> he's not guilty. if anybody's guilty, it's biden. sorry. >> reporter: there would be appear to be very few, if any, people in this crowd -- >> it was rigged. it was fake. >> reporter: -- looking to be convinced of anything new. do you folks think that trump lost the last election? >> not at all. >> there's going to be another election, and when it's all over, if they say trump lost -- >> he will not lose. it's in god's hands, and he's going to straighten this country out. >> i'm a christian, and i just know that there's a lot more to

this than what they're showing us out there now. i think god's behind everything we do here, and i mean that sincerely. >> do you think president trump is a man of god? >> well, i would like to think he is. i feel he is. i feel he is. and every time he seems to get charged with something, more and more people come out to stand behind him. >> reporter: that would certainly appear to be the case on that blustery day in pennsylvania. a solid crowd of close to 8,000. they seem to draw energy and confidence from one another. >> we're living in a fascist state. >> reporter: over these past few weeks in interviews and at other public appearances, trump, himself, has raised the specter of violence should he lose this next election. the events of january 6th, the violence on the steps of congress, the chaos in the halls

of congress, president trump's initial reluctance to call his supporters off -- all of that has congealed into an alternate reality, no longer a travesty to be be condemned, it is an act of heroism to be celebrated. >> please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated january 6th hostages. ♪ o, say can you see ♪ >> reporter: at some rallies, men identified as the convicted rioters singing the national anthem are invoked as victims, even heroes. ♪ at the twilight's last gleaming ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen -- >> reporter: not tonight, though. >> please welcome the next president of the united states, president donald j. trump! ♪ i'm proud to be an american ♪ >> reporter: trump seems to be missing some of his usual spark.

>> i'm freezing my ass off up here. >> reporter: they can relate. many have been out here for more than eight hours. they are nothing, if not sympathetic. we're only a couple of hours away from the civil war battlefield at gettysburg. >> the battle of gettysburg, what an unbelievable -- i mean it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and so horrible and so beautiful in so many different ways. >> reporter: other than proximity, though, the president appears unsure as to why he brought it up. >> gettysburg, wow. i go to gettysburg, pennsylvania, to look and to watch, and the statement of robert e. lee, who is no longer in favor -- did you ever notice that? no longer in favor. never fight uphill, me boys. never fight uphill. they were fighting uphill. he said, wow. >> reporter: did lee have an irish brogue? almost certainly not. what happened at gettysburg was the beginning of the end for

confederate forces. despite his crushing defeat, lee looms majestically over the battlefield. by all appearances, triumphant. it is particularly to foreign visitors a bizarre notion, honoring the man who led an army of rebels. it falls to chris guinn, gettysburg's chief of interpretation and education to explain. >> the confederates, they lost the battle. they lost the war. but for a long, long time, they won the war of memory. they won the war of memory because what most visitors encounter is a battlefield that has achieved this kind of moral equivalency. >> chris, you're putting it in the past tense as though that were no longer the case. it is still the case. >> it's still the case. there's a memorial down the road to the state of mississippi, and on that monument, it talks about the righteous cause that

mississippians fought for. but what was that cause? >> slavery. >> slavery. and you can go back to the mississippi declaration of secession, when the war begins, and mississippians in 1860, 1861, they'll tell you exactly what the war is about, to protect slavery. but that's not anywhere on that monument. >> reporter: indeed, even as chris guinn and i reflected on the war of memory, we learned that the names of robert e. lee and stonewall jackson are being restored to a couple of schools in shenandoah county, virginia. >> let's uncancel stonewall jackson. thank you. >> reporter: that reversal comes less than four years after the names were changed in response to the black lives matter movement. >> i don't think there has ever been a more recorded mini insurrection than what happened on january 6th, and yet we're still arguing about what happened.

>> riot, insurrection. as i saw confederate battle flags in the halls of congress for the first time, they achieved something that robert e. lee and his army of northern virginia never got close to. they're physically in the halls of congress with the same battle flag that, you know, virginia units on this battlefield carried. and that's something i never thought i'd see. >> does it bother you? >> deeply. profoundly. >> because? >> we fought a four-year war that cost 700,000 lives. and to see that symbol, that flag, utilized in that way and to see it in that building was something that i think if you could go and reincarnate some of these union soldiers, these united states soldiers buried in that cemetery, they would be aghast at the sight of that. >> reporter: and yet when the civil war began with the surrender of fort sumter in

1861, there was throughout much of the land wild celebration and no inkling of the price to be paid. wars rarely begin in a climate of foresight. >> we love trump! >> reporter: so could the chest-beating at a political rally provide real insight as to what could happen in the event of another trump defeat? >> we have to get biden the hell out of office and send him back to wherever he comes from. >> condition one, be ready. i think there's going to be some real unrest in this country. i think everybody will step up now. and condition one, be ready. just be ready. that's what i say. >> reporter: condition one refers to a firearm with the safety on, a live round in the chamber, and the hammer cocked. >> condition one. >> we will never, ever, ever,

ever back down. >> reporter: president trump's critics -- and they are legion -- are fearful of what his victory in the election might mean for the country. they might do well to consider the consequences of another trump defeat. >> we will not go another four years at the pace we're going. foresight will fight back then. >> tell me what that means. >> it means our freedom will not be stolen anymore. >> what if it happens again? >> be ready. just be ready for war. >> really? >> i think some of us are going to go and be a little nuts over it. >> that was ted koppel on the >> that was ted koppel on the ♪♪ are you tired of your hair breaking after waiting years for it to grow? meet new pantene pro-v miracles. with our highest concentration of pro-vitamins yet, infused with ingredients like biotin & collagen. strengthens hair bonds and repairs as well as the leading luxury brand

every american is precisely equal before the law. i've always admired thomas jefferson for wanting no title before his name except mister. like the other founders, he didn't want or expect special treatment under the law. former president trump's conviction proves that in the eyes of the law, even an ex-president is just another mister. it's also worth noting that this kind of jury trial never could have happened in the authoritarian countries that mr. trump so admires. xi of china, russia's putin, hungary's orban, erdogan of turkey -- none would ever be tried by a jury of their peers. unlike those countries, the united states vigorously upholds the rule of law. our founders ardently believed liberty and justice for all would bring monarchs, despots, and populist demagogues to heel. the good news is our judicial

system ran a cogent and fair trial in new york. the manhattan criminal court has changed american presidential history forever. out of 46 presidents, only mr. trump carries the ignoble albatross of convicted felon. it's a sad phrase, but it also gives reason to rejoice that jefferson's republic is new all over again.
