i think a majority of greensboro residents had never heard of the cwp. they did not know that there were unionizing ideas going on at the cone plants. they couldn't have found the location of the shootings without a map i think if they had to. i think the city response again, we have to talk in seg segmentseg segment official response was outrage.segment official response was outrage. they denied that greensboro had any fault in this instance. that the police had done nothing wrong. there was a lot of confusion about when the parade was to start. i think the media, except for the television coverage on the spot, the media began an automatic defense of the city. it would couldn't have happened here. we did nothing to cause it. for the court cases that resulted from this occurrence on november 3rd there were three. the first was a murder trial. the state brought charges against six klans men for murder. that was the murder of five people. there were 30 possible verdicts. six men, five people

now that event is adopted and praised by people in greensboro. i don't think this event will ever be praised. i think it will always be a blot. >>> we're in an exhibit called the murphy confederate longarms collection. this collection was actually originally loaned to the museum and then bequeath to the museum upon dr. murphy's death in 2003. they were married and john was a particular collector of confederate longarms. he was born in washington, d.c. and attended school in virginia. he was a southerner. then he enrolled in the navy and served as a doctor for 20 years before retiring and assembled what is an outstanding collection. probably one of its kind of confederate longarms. by that i mean rifles, muskets, shotguns and car beams. talking to his maternal grandfather and some great uncles. his maternal grandfather was a confederate veteran. i think that sparked his interest in the centennial war. he started collecting artifakcts and rifle, weapons. the collection consisted of 200 pieces. dr. murphy originally loaned the collection to the hist

the greensboro surrender is very chaotic. certainly doesn't have that spirit of unification that we think of with appomattox. now, general johnston commanded not just the army of tennessee but he commanded the department of the geographic region that included carolina and florida. he is surrendering 89,000 troops. it's the largest surrender of the civil war. some of the key differences is not there. they're not in physical contact with each other. the confederates are left to do this on their own, self-policing and the men are instructed to stack their weapons in camp. their issued parole passes and then they are free to go. the parole passes will work the same for them as far as transportation and rations. it's a very different experience. some units will march home with weapons and flags flying in violation of the terms. in fact, johnston had gotten word from president davis who by this time is down near charlotte that he wanted johnston to not surrender to sherman and pull the army back and keep it in the field. johnston h

now johnston goes to greensboro assuming that davis is soliciting his opinion. asking for a briefing on the military situation. but, when johnston gets to greensboro, he finds out that davis actually has a plan to raise a new army by collecting all the men who had deserted or evaded inscription. well, johnston realizes that plan, as he puts it is inexpress bli wild, and davis announces that breckenridge will arrive that evening with official word on the fate of lee's army. well breckenridge arrives as scheduled, and he reports yes, lee's army has indeed surrendered at the courthouse. then johnston said he needs an opportunity to tell the president the truth. breckenridge gives him that opportunity the following day on the 13th. and johnston tells him very bluntly that the confederate soldiers in his army have only the clothes on their backs weapons in hand, ammunition in their cartridge boxes and that it would be the greatest of crimes to continue the war when the federals outnumber his small army on the order of 10-1. even now, davis refuses to blooif that the
