there's a cuban cigar called the henry clay. and we see this box is probably -- i'm not sure if it's a chewing tobacco box or snuff box. probably chewing tobacco, with a henry clay face on it. the other thing i found was franklin pierce gets literally shafted here. he gets made into a pipe head. during the campaign of 1852, everyone thought it would be a great idea to put franklin pierce's head on a pipe and smoke it. what can i say? kind of a misunderstood figure, franklin pierce. other questions? i assume you all figure at this point that we don't duel anymore. yeah? or do we? well, i just had one other thing, then. i had a few slides ready for you. here is one. it's this. you're on your cell phone doing the paces on the duel. so hold on. i've already lost track of my place. sorry. it's kind of funny. although dueling has ended, guys, the rhetoric of dueling has not. i was shocked. i remember actually watching this in 2004 and, thanks to youtube -- the joys of youtube, i have been able to find this clip. and at the time, i did

have andrew jackson, a tennessee democrat who we studied at some length here, and on the right, henry clay, a kentucky whig. between clay and jackson, we get two very different views of what america should look like and i have two political cartoons to show how in the second party system, new issues were emerging. for example, the question of the bank. this is the second bank of the united states and in this image we see andrew jackson on the left holding a cane which he usually walked with, with all his bullet wounds from his duels, trying to battle back the many-headed hydra which is a mythical creature from greek mythology but here it stands in for the bank. on each of the heads of the hydra is an individual who was representing the bank, the most prominent one in the center here was nicholas biddle who was the president of the bank and who became a kind of enemy to jackson in this process. so this is something of a satire

mary todd, daughter of henry clay's business partner and political ally, from lexington, kentucky, a southern belle, was a rare woman of the southern upper class who loved politics and was described as a child as a violent little wig. she did not hesitate to offer her strong opinions at a time when women were supposed to remain silent and deafer enshall on the subject. if anything, she was more ambitious for her ambitious husband than he was. his alliance with her gave him more than the social standing he desired. she steadied him, pushed him forward, defended him and never lost faith in his star. she referred to their union as our lincoln party. mary was high strung, threw temper tantrums and made scenes. she gave lincoln a family, respectability, a proper home and passion ately believed in him. herndon hated her calling her a she wolf. she would never invite him into the lincoln home in springfield calling him a dirty dog. lincoln's young private secretaries, john hey referred to her as the hell cat. there would have been no lincoln without mary. and he knew it. he remained smitten

at a time when most women never attended school at all -- and actually le kree sha clay, henry clay's wife, was allegedly illiterate, women went maybe two, three, four, five years. that was it. mary went ten years. she studied math and history and science and religion and of course french. at her first school she participated in public recitations, which most schools of the day deemed as an activity solely for boys. after graduating from ward's, mary then went off to a finishing school where she mastered the french language and was exposed to a european perspective that opened up her imagination to new ideas, brave new ideas in some respects, and to a world far beyond her kentucky home. she had grown up in a household that encouraged the education of women. mary herself received an education at schools that valued a women's voice. these educational experiences were very important and part of who mary was and how she lived her life. they emboldened her confidence and her spirit, and they made her really very unique. when ms. mary todd arrived in springfield in 1839, she was the most ed

time and place in which a great mass of common men supported andrew jackson, lincoln supported henry clay. lincoln became a whig. lincoln rejected that prejudice in a southern-flavored setting soft on slavery. lincoln was generous to blacks. lincoln cared about education intensely. when evangelical christianity permeated the western frontier, lincoln raised questions and gave different answers than his neighbors. lincoln was very skeptical about the common prejudices of his own time and place, including the prevailing very strong racial prejudices against african-americans. when he alluded to those prejudices, he said that they might or might not be well founded. he never explicitly endorsed the view that whites were morally and intellectually superior to blacks. here's one notable instance of this. lincoln was initially reluctant to permit black soldiers to serve in the union army. in part he was motivated by his well-founded worries about the prejudices of white soldiers and the general public. he also worried that blacks might not make good soldiers. lincoln went out of his way to ackn

the missouri compromise had been the work of henry clay. lincoln, in the first of his debates with stephen douglas called my idea of a statesman. the compromise somewhat diffused the slavery issue and sectional animosities for three decades. it did so by for bidding slavery in the louisiana territory north of the line that included the kansas and nebraska territories. the kansas-nebraska act introduced by senator douglas empowered the residents of those two territory to decide whether or not to have the institution of slavery. the acts premise was that the distilled essence of the american project is democracy and that the distilled essence of democracy is majority rule. and that therefore, it was right that there should be popular sovereignty in the territories regarding the great matter of slavery. people should have the right to vote it up or vote it down. lincoln disagreed. he responded to the act with control. the most morally luminous career in the history of american democracy took its bearing from the principle that there is more to

passed a rule requiring henry brick company, along with all other brick and structural clay manufacturers, to reduce their air pollutants emissions. in order to meet these new regulations by 2006, henry brick company of selma, alabama, spent $1.5 million to come into compliance with the rule. this was a major financial burden for this small company. but henry brick company is a good corporate citizen and understands the importance of protecting our environment. however, one year after they spent $is.5 million, the court vacated the e.p.a.'s 2003 regulation. so the e.p.a. went back to the drawing board to create a new rule. but the e.p.a. did not give these brick companies credit for emission reductions achieved under the previous rule. on the contrary, in their new rule the e.p.a. actually used the emission reductions achieved under the vacated rule as a base line for further reduction requirements. now henry brick company face as new brick and clay manufacturing rule with even stricter emissions requirements. and must come into compliance by december, 2018. this time the small company ma
