jefferson as the original heir of their party. when the national republicans became the whig thens we got the present-day republicans, then they too, went back to jefferson and said we are the true heirs of jefferson and they invoked the declaration. and that is where they said in a good patient all men are created equal -- in the declaration all men are created equal and they sought to abolish slavery. alexander heffner: and as you write, it became more difficult with lincoln. but i am interested in your attribution to political parties, the formation of the parties, because the one area in which your thesis validates jefferson, and when you read about the way that you write, i learned this in the book, andrew jackson in challenging the second adams employed at some of the same tactics that jefferson did, to ensure that john did not win. it was really in the pursuit of power that both jefferson and jackson, they used tactics we might deem today as uncivil. david sehat: that is right. when i see, i've read a lot of political debate, when you see the founding fathers come up what you often see is people out of power who are criticizing those in power and they are using the founding fathers as a pol

jefferson. >> jefferson loved him. jefferson comes to him in france after franklin has been embassador. he says you're here to succeed franklin. he said, i just hope to follow him, i can't replace him. they were both avatars of the enlight meant. the person they both hated was the person in france john adams. john adams it's a love-hate relationship with franklin, but john adams is very puritanical, very prudish, a little bit stuck up and franklin has at least two girlfriends in paris and is truly enjoying himself and john adams found that a little unbearable but also found jefferson unbearable as well. >> rose: what's relevant about benjamin franklin today? >> you know, in 1776, in july this very week when they're writing the declaration, jefferson writes the first draft, a messy draft. you can see it in the library of congress, a wonderful document. >> rose: a messy draft. a messy draft of the declaration. it's the first draft. you have all sorts of crossouts. it's like us who write long handed first. a big mess. jefferson wri

jefferson. and so jefferson -- and you know jefferson doesn't lose very often. so basically william eaton has been forgotten because jefferson -- i wouldn't call it character assassination, eaton did most of it to himself. but jefferson signed the light on william eaton's flaws and eaton became an alcoholic and a gambler and it didn't go -- he only lived six years after this great victory. it's kind of a sad story. but you know i hope he gets the recognition at least for what he did accomplish. any other questions? >> what will be your next book? >> since i wrote up a contract, i don't want to say it on national tv, but i do have an idea and i think i have another pirate book up my sleeve after that. but i don't want to just be the pirate guy. don't get me wrong, i like pirates but would like to expand a little bit. it involves a prison and escape. i'll tell you that. >> how did you get so interested in the pirates? >> well i dressed up for halloween, i went to the pirates -- what's this restaurant you guys go to? the well? i climbed down there and you know, they

jefferson to split them apart? guest: adams was elected to be the second president after washington. they had not been particularly close as president and vice president. when the election of 1796 came along, jefferson ran against adams. the winner became the president, the runner-up came vice president. adams being a nominal federalist and jeffersoneing a jeffersonian or republican what we would now call a democrat. you have the president of one party, vice president of the other party. jefferson did not support adams. he cut himself off from adams. if anything, he was detrimental because he was busy organizing the political opposition behind the scenes. he was a skillful general backstage director of operations. the next time around, jefferson ran against adams, and adams tried for a second term and defeated adams in a vicious campaign of 1800. charlie: take me to july 4 1826, the last 24 hours. guest: each one is gravely troubled, each of them. he is dying in his home. each is dying in his own bed dying surrounded by his beloved books. they are also surrounded by family and servants. they each want to live until the 4th. jefferson succumbed first he died in the morning of the fourth. adams died late in the afternoon, almost 6:00. very near the end, he said out of the blue, quite clearly thomas jefferson survives. and died short

jefferson and for so many others was that lurid dunmore's proclamation of to 7075, which jefferson referred at the end of the deleted clause encouraged many slaves to fight for the british. subsequently, england freed many of them. but jefferson still owed mortgages against those runaways, mortgages that made it more difficult for him to free others. once the power of empire is put back in the history of slavery the american revolution looks different. it becomes both more radical in its principles and potential for change and also less complete. disentangling the tangles of the empire was socially and legally difficult. it clarifies how the compromises set the stage for later conflict. the statement of principles that danielle allen clarified at the beginning of the document became open to misinterpretation without the deleted passage. during the constitutional convention 11 years later south , carolina and georgia intervened to protect slavery. this time threatening to abandon their union. south carolina's objection is woven into their leadership on slavery. it is an open question whether the continental congress would have been better served to ignore succulent as the man to delete the clause condemning slavery. on some fu

jefferson like rutledge from south carolina who was terrified by universal liberties. how did they influence policy? the ultimate irony for jefferson and for so many others was that the proclamation of 1775 to which jefferson referred at the end of the deleted clause encouraged many slaves to fight for the british. subsequently england freed many of them. but jefferson still owed mortgages against those runaways, mortgages that made it more difficult for him to free others. the american revolution looks different. it but becomes more radical in his principles and potential and yes complete -- and yet less complete. it was incomplete. it also shows how the compromises set the stage for later conflict. the statement of principles clarified at the beginning of the document became open to misinterpretation without the deleted passage. during the constitutional convention, again, south carolina and georgia intervened to protect slavery. south carolina's objection is woven into their protection of slavery. on some fundamental level, conceding on slavery again built a contradiction into america's political foundation. thank you.

jefferson davis, president of the confederacy. in the confederacy, if you are friends with jefferson davis you are going to do big things. if you are not friends with him, it did not matter of the general you were, he would find a way to get rid of you. that's not a good way to run a war. more about jefferson later -- davis later. johnston also in the hierarchy of the confederacy, he outranked robert e lee. in the summer of 1862, robert ealy is appointed command of the army of northern virginia and the rest, as they say, is history. i suggest that had johnston not been killed at shiloh, there is a good chance he would have gotten that appointment because he was so close to jefferson davis. he would've taken a commanding we never would've heard of robert e lee and all those people i have met who claim heritage to robert e lee. i'm sure some of them are. i'm sure some of them are not but they might no claim to be descendents of albert sidney johnston. the other part of that equation is that the federal commander at shiloh is ulysses grant. he is losing when johnston is killed. he turns it around the next day. he wins the battle. at grant lost that apple, that was the end of his career. likely we had never heard of ulysses s grant, 18th president of the united states. that so history change t

jefferson to mark the 200th anniversary of jefferson's birth, and the volume one of the edition in 1950. boyd spoke and wrote about the topic at various other times, as well. boyd was an authority on jefferson's role in the writing of the declaration, but he helped show that the writing was a collaborative process. in a broad sense, boyd wrote and cataloged for the 1943 exhibit, author of the declaration of independence was the american people. now, boyd also was dealing largely with mechanics and the succession of texts and working out the manuscript sequence. so one thing that a lot of work has been done on since boyd, a lot of very good, interesting work on is the sources for that collaborative effort. what lay behind what ended up in that text. we who work on the edition had no reason to revisit boyd's work. proesser professor allen was not asking us to. we're currently working intensely on 1804. professor allen, from her work knows more about the creation of the declaration of independence than those of us working on the edition now know. but professor allen was interested in something i could be of assistance with, which is taking a fresh look at the transcription of the parchment. i sp

jefferson and madison. first is on these two men. it focuses very narrowly on the 12 years before jeffersons elected president and madison followed him and etoh, and obviously there's been lots and lots written. so there's nothing i would argue that there is nothing there's nothing new in what i pretend that i think that i - this chapter does two things. it ties the piece is that american conservatism as old as republican anchors us back to the beginning of the republic and by focusing on a narrow 12 year period i think that is the best way to see the development of jefferson and madison's views on the limited government, which is really one of the foundational stones of american conservatism. jefferson, madison and enjoyed a 50 year friendship that spans literally 50 years into the correspondence is truly voluminous over 1200 letters and they wrote all kinds of topics. there is plenty of material to look at and when you focus on these 12 years, these were the 12 years that they were in the opposition opposing the federalist party and at the central federal party of the time was the party of more centralization. jefferson and madison were wrestling with the two primary purposes of government that i mentioned here to establish the order and the preservation of liberty. and it's interesting to read the letters. they didn't see exactly jefferson in general would come down more. madison a little bit more on the establishment of the order but on the scale of things they are very much believers and the limited government. madison wrote these words. it should be

they say thomas jefferson encouraged people to grow hemp. but i say jefferson grew lots of things but they were not all that important. he had chickens and ducks and every thing else that a normal farm family would grow back at the time. just because he did it does not make it all that special. >> what else are you working on now? abernathy: i am working on a straight history of hem in the u.s.p i am trying to get done exactly when hemp was first grown here to the extent to which it was a major agriculture -- agricultural crop where it reached its top level of production. and the early 1800s it was the third most important agricultural commodity in the united states but that in another itself is not really tell is a whole lot. that is the top level it is ever really reached. i think it is so inexact for -- inexorably tied to marijuana and legalization of marijuana that it has prevented a lot of movement towards getting it legalized. it is not and has not until the 2004 farm bill was passed last year that the united states government has given farmers a chance t

even going all the way back to john adams and thomas jefferson who were these huge political enemies and jefferson defeat adams, went bitterly back to massachusetts. they revived their relationship in this famous correspondent. in these days we hear. so about how tough politics is. presidential level and in washington. it is so nice to see relationships between former presidents like clinton and bush and also, jimmy carter and gerald ford who ran against each other who became extremely close friends. >> let me just quickly ask to you play this out. if a year from now we're talking about hillary clinton, the democratic nominee, jeb bush, the republican nominee, how many of this good will survives something like that? >> i mean, steve, you know as well as do i and anyone else who has watched the clintons in public life to know that they don't exactly take hits lightly necessarily. they tend to have long memories. so i think if this campaign gets really nasty and goes to questions of character. then all bets might be off. i think what you were discussing is really the key part of this. the george bus

jefferson, i think it's 1814. the man's name is cole, and he says, "look, mr. jefferson speak out. we need you. we younger generation need you. i'm freeing my slaves. i'm moving to illinois. you speak out, and we can really do something about this institution." jefferson says, "no, i'm too old. you young people do it." it's one of his weaker moments jefferson. but this young man goes on to illinois, becomes an anti -- becomes an anti-slave -- becomes an abolitionist and later governor of illinois, a virginian who did just what he wanted others to do. c-span: there were how many of those? >> guest: well, there are not so many, obviously. washington freed his slaves upon his death, but... c-span: but they weren't his were they. >> guest: oh, well, yeah. c-span: i thought they were his wife's. >> guest: well, his wife -- he had some and his wife had some. but whatever his wife's -- his property -- his wife's property is his. c-span: but she -- they weren't... >> guest: but they... c-span: ... free until she died. >> guest: right. he -- her slaves could remain -- but still, they -- he is ending the institution, as far as his family is concerned, and that's something that others did not do. jefferson didn't do that. c-span: now, what about women during thi

jefferson handwritten draft and a adams handwritten draft. one thing that we found is that we think, at least, that john adams, not jefferson, was the one who went to dunlop with a manuscript on july 4 and we think jefferson went to town on july 6 with his draft. here you have a broadside printing. a broadside is a single printed page with information only on one side. this is the press release of its day. it was meant to share news. it was meant to proclaim, to get the word out. and each of these broadsides a different. that is from salem. this is actually by the same printer in the american gazette newspaper. he made just a couple of adjustments and kept most of the typesetting impact. this is the same declaration. this printer exley had a different broadside. -- actually had a different broadside. then you have the dunlop, the official printing sent by congress. and he we did it to follow that style integrating the official printing in massachusetts. here is another newspaper printing, july 17, which we acquired last week. but why july 17? we think about using instantaneous, but actually it took a great deal of time for news to get from philadelphia to boston to the capital of massachusetts, which was

jefferson davis. every president up to abraham lincoln was jefferson davis. i mean, that is just -- factual. abraham lincoln is singular. before he was killed, abraham lincoln stood up and for the first time from any sitting president, stood for the right for separate, for african-american men who is served in the civil war. that is limited suffrage, but was quite radical at the time. it is that john wilkes boothe shot and killed abram lincoln. abraham went and stands out as unique. -- abraham lincoln stands out as unique. jefferson did, that holding slavery was a central part -- is an old bully. why supremacy is a very popular, entrench and believe in this country's history and heritage. those two things are not equivalent. the ku klux klan is not the opposite of the harlem children's on. the ku klux klan is the most to mystic terrorist organization in this country's history. the hardware them it is doing good work, there is not enough of it across this country. there's a national tourist organization. one is not the answer for the other. juan: i would ask you about the critique of your education system in america. very, very strong in your book, the failures of classroom teaching. basically, you got most of your knowledge, yourself in a library. could you talk about that? >> this is personal. and i want to go up and hopefully test the peerless him. i had no idea while -- while was in school. i think about the french leg which and how in seventh grade i was in french class and essentially what those given was a

jefferson and john adam who is when they ran against each other in 1800 were brutal. the pop gandas working for jefferson called adams a hideous character with neither of the force and firmness of a man or the gentleleness and sensibilit of the woman. they wrote if jeffersonnd incent will be taught and practiced. this is how they waged elections. andrew jackson reporters said john quincy adams provided a pimp for the coalition. he went after andrew jackson as a cannibal and after his wife as a big mist. she died of a heart attack and president jackson blames john quincy adams for her death. this election when you see jeb bush or whoever engaged in attacks, all this mud and all this slime it's as american as apple pie. >> thanks for spending your sunday morning with us. you can catch us every sunday at 9:00 and noon. gps starts right now. >> the questions haunt us. each time we witness a terrible new savagery. >> the images are horrifying. >> each time we mead the face of evil. >> we ask how, why. how could they come out of nowhere and slaughter innocent and threaten the world. >> cop off the heads
