the church where the massacre took place is located on calhoun street named after john c calhoun, a congressmane president in the early 19th century. >> there are few figure of this period as powerful as john c calhoun. >> he wielded influence over policy and was wide lie known as an oddvo kate for slavery. >> he believed it was the backbone of the south, and thought it was civilizing the so-called savages, and you have to look at him in that light, that he was more that an advocate of slavery, a fierce defender of slavery. >> a petition is being circulated to rename the street and change it to clemente street. that may not be so easy. cal hoon is a revered figure. monuments, parks, lakes and institutions all over the south bear his name. it runs deep in the south. port her, bragg and lee bears the names of confederate generals. >> today i announced the formation of a task force to look at the statutory on the main mall and south mall of the campus, this is an emotional and important issue for students. >> students at the university of texas are lobbying to remove the statue of jefferson davis,

and it happened most clearly in 1830 where you see both jackson, john c calhoun and the nationalists all invoking jefferson to wild in -- ends. jackson said that jefferson is a nationalist. you are betraying him. the nationalists became the wings, -- whigs, and they said that you are betraying him. they then entered a time of crisis and it would continue until the civil war. alexander heffner: stepping back, do you attribute his status, jefferson's to the authorship of the declaration, being poised to almost usurp intellectually in terms of hominids -- prominence. david sehat: the declaration is important, but i attribute jefferson's promise to the formation of local parties because when he won the election, the opposing party was the federalists, they disappeared. they were utterly of and went into decline and there were no more federalists after 1812. what happened was, that was the end of the first party system. then we had the second party system, where you have the national republicans and the democratic republicans, the party of jackson. both of them looked back to jefferson as

and exchange between henry clay and calhoun.alhoun was furious the next day that clay had said something. clay said it has been removed. in other words it does not exist , anymore as far as we are concerned. ray: once television came in the question then, what is the record? if the television camera shows you saying one thing on the videotape and at the record shows you saying something else, which is the record? i remember having conversations since i was involved in some of the earlier debates and discussions about when i first got there the house was not saving the broadcast, they were recycling them after 60 days thinking they were only newsworthy for 60 days. i said what about history? what about the fact you may have somebody on the floor like an abraham lincoln? why are you erasing history? when lincoln was a congressman if we had a speech, it would be priceless. brian: this is, a senator from illinois until 1969. this is a little clip from one of his weekly presentations that he would send back to the television stations

his presidency, i think, had to do with his inability to get along with the vice president, john c calhoun and the calhounites that were part of his cabinet. and the marriage of john eaton member of the cabinet, his good friend, to margaret o`neal was a major scandal, and ultimately jackson wipes out the whole cabinet. and polk is over there in congress looking at that. c-span: over this marriage? over this•. ? >> guest: over this marriage. i mean, flora ada calhoun will not have anything to do with margaret o`neal, the wife of the vice president, and other cabinet officers follow her along. van buren, not married, is very nice to them. and... c-span: what was he then? >> guest: he was vice president -- no, he was secretary of state. and jackson wrapped his arm around van buren and named him vice president -- really ordained him for the vice presidency in the second term, because he was nice to eaton and mrs. eaton. so the whole cabinet is wiped out, eaton resigns and others are forced to resign. polk comes into office, and i think one of the reasons he didn`t dump buchanan was because he

down in southern california, a fire torched cars on the free wear, happening along interstate 15 and calhoun pass. spread to more than 40 cars on the freeway, people abandoned those cars running to safety, now some are complaining they had to pay high towing fees, the fire burned more than 5,000 acres. >>> new at 5:00 o'clock, the detectives say the man who killed five people also murdered a two-year-old boy last year. martin martinez was arrested yesterday in san jose, he was a prime suspect in the toddler's death when investigators say he went on the killing spree. lee martinez in modesto request with a stunning new twist to the case. >> reporter: modesto police say there was no indication that this family with small children was in any danger but prime suspect was already under investigation for the death of murder victim amanda cruz's two- year-old son. the first person to die in this family tragedy died months ago, dr. amanda cruz's two-year- old son christopher ripley was rushed to the hospital. >> sustained head injuries while mr. martinez was watching him alone. >> reporter: the todd

it's actually lincoln's head on senator john calhoun's body.this portrait of general ulysses grant. it layers three separate images from different times and locations. even before photography went digital, the media altered photos. in this famous image of the kent state massacre, the fence behind the grieving teenage girl was removed. in 1994, "time magazine" ignited a firestorm for making football hero o.j. simpson, then accused of murdering his wife, look darker and blacker than he really was. newsweek didn't. in 2006, the reuters news agency yanked a photo of the israeli- bombed beirut skyline after it learned the photographer used photoshop to clone and darken the smoke to make the damage look worse. two years ago, the associated press fired the photographer who edited out a video camera seen in the foreground of the image of this soldier. >> once we start removing things from photos then pretty much everything is on the table for negotiation. we can't be negotiating this. we can't be negotiating what is inside the frame. it has to be what

in 1888, john c calhoun described the claim of a quality in the declaration as a politically unnecessary error. independence could have been announced without this false and dangerous idea which had lain dormant for many years and was not germinating and beginning to prove poisonous. abraham lincoln claimed that the court that all men are created equal is of no particle use. he saw a bold claim. further douglas agreed on the importance of the phrase but thought about a different a. he said its current conduct was clearly at odds with american heritage. to a slave year, the shouts of the liberty and equality were nothing but hollow mockery. by the time southern states begin issuing documents of secession, many more americans had taken the interpretive turn that calhoun dreaded, that lincoln longed for, and that frederick douglass on hypocritical. in doing so, they discovered in the decoration in the second paragraph, a radical commitment to equality and human rights that is early readers cannot have anticipated. at the time of this writing, very few in the newly formed united states forme

people like calhoun and other state rights advocates channeling the anti-state said any state could leave on its own. it took the civil war, the bloodiest in history to establish that lincoln and wilson were correct and state sof rib ty were not and we the people as a whole were sof win. and madison was probably conflicted on this score. federalist 39 talks about a dual sovereignty when they occasionally rule and sometimes we the people rule. and they thought it was an im -- it was an imperial impeerio a state within a state which considered a solisism you couldn't have two sovereign powers but it was his vision and today our national unity represented by national popular sovereignty is all thanks to james wilson. but of course james wilson -- i said he was the most underappreciated and he is not the most famous. and the most famous and the most beloved based on the shininess on his hands in a few weeks is benjamin benjamin franklin. at age 81 it is the oldest, printer, statesman and he is not well at the time of the convention but he is so respected and his wisdom so acknowledged that wh

focus was on the national bank and centralization schemes and other plans like that and interestingly calhoun is cited for his courage and his honesty. over the civil war and into the 1880s. he was the last conservative democrat said he wouldn't get much credit from the fellow democrats today. he was formidable intellectually and he was formidable physically the 280 pounds that cast quite a figure his rise to the presidency can only be described from new york and buffalo and the mayor of buffalo and the governor of new york to president of the united states and there was a quote in a letter from cleveland to one of his friends that he had been in the white house a few months and we've still wake up nsa can i possibly be here. he composed himself upon his time in the way of no mediocre manhood for a moment. he was a reformer in the post-civil war and us all a lot of what we would call crony capitalism today and it's interesting that in the period the republican party was the party of centralized government and he came in with some very basic jeffersonian views of limited government. he was ver

there's a meeting in springfield about him and the town's mayor a man whose name was ironically john calhoun who was a proslavery democrat, and had been lincoln's supervisor when he learn how to be a surveyor becomes the president of the meeting and -- but the person who is put in charge of writing the resolutions is abraham lincoln. and i'll just read you what one of the springfield resolutions -- little noticed at the time says. i says the sympathies of this country and the benefits of this -- its position should be exerted in favor of the people of every nation struggling to be free. the kasuth episode was undoubtedly central in broadening lincoln's international outlook which was organically connected to his doling politics. he neither spoke nor read any language other than english and would never travel abroad brut followed the rise and fall of the revolutions of 1848. he saw them as democratic movements based on similar prims to those of the declaration of independence and suppressed by a constellation of despotic monarchial pours. he was eager for the expose and disappointed at their

calhoun described it as an unnecessary "error," his words. he said it was now germinating and beginning to produce "a poisonous brood." abram lincoln acknowledged that the claim that all men are created equal was "of no practical use" in dissolving ties with britain, but he sought a future use. frederick douglass a great about the importance of the phrase, but saw things differently. america, he said, falls to the task. to a slave's in her's, he explained, the shouts of liberty and equality -- to a slave's years, he explained the shouts of liberty and equality were nothing but hollow mockery. by the time southern states begin seceding from the union issuing secession notices many americans that taken the interpretation that calvin dreaded, lincoln long for, and frederick douglass found hypocritical. a radical commitment to rights that most bit streamers and early readers could not have it -- have anticipated. most would have seen it as a document of radical egalitarianism through we see it so now is a product of their effort and is the challe

totally ruined their major because he had an affair with a young widow in new york named lucia gilbert calhoun. he was a reporter. they had a month-long affair. he felt guilty went home and confessed it to his wife assuming that the major is now over. she forgives him and says it's time for us to figure out how to make this thing better and from that moment they fell passionately in love with each other. they decided that they were going to do the best they could together with each other and after that, maybe for the first time they almost couldn't bear to be apart. he later wrote we waited a long time for this love to come but it is here to stay. he later wrote that lucretia became the light of my life the love of my love. he wrote you cannot know how much i need you and miss you and love you. i can hardly bear to be away from you. so from the moment that they really jump started their marriage, they were this happily married couple. it took them a long time to get there but once they were there they were really there. they ultimately wind up having seven children, so they were there. sadly,

it was looking at expanding its territory, partly because the south -- john c calhoun, the great advocatefor the white slaveholding south -- had feared for a long time that the north would grow in greater numbers and start to dominate congress. there was a real push in the south to expand slavery, not only westward -- this was the conflict within the republican party which was opposed to that in the 1850's -- but to expand southward. after the civil war, the south was flat on its back for quite some time and has a sharecropping system. but certainly an avid supporter of things like the spanish-american war. host: rain spell alabama, tim a republican. caller: what i was talking about, regulations. this country is getting more regulations than any country around. it's everybody's. with got jobs going over in china. we need to make sure they are regulated just like we are. hillary clinton -- ask hillary about global warming, you can take it like this -- a portion of the air is over in china just as well as here. that's my question. bring the jobs back, we need to make other countries follow

calhoun.on the state house grounds. i have no problem -- >> have other representatives or constituents said that to you? >> i think the number has grown. i think there has always been a significant segment in the state of south carolina that have felt that way. but with this tragedy that has happened in charleston it has moved people emotionally, and i'm hopeful, prayerful that that emotion will turn into a true commitment. i love the definition of commitment being that commitment is what you do after the emotion is gone. so according to the numbers, we are hopeful that we can get this done that enough people are committed in the house and the senate to get this done. >> thank you so much state representative david mack iii from charleston south carolina. have a great rest of your weekend. >>> another sign of growing public opposition to the confederate flag. daytona international speedway is offering to exchange any confederate flag for an american flag for those attending today's race. nasca
