so, i would say that if you're looking for continuity between the south of the 19th century and the south today, i think with one looks at the amount of violence in the south, the preoccupation with fire arms, i think some of that can be tied, even if only in a tangential way to southern ideas about honor in the 19th century that have survived, thinking about the honor of one's family and these kinds of ideas are still present at least in some parts of the south today. so, you know, i'm very hesitant to draw any direct connections between events yesterday and events 150 years ago, but i think you touched on something that is probably there. there is some remnants of the southern culture of honor that remains. luckily, there are not that many duels anymore. thank you. >> david rosen from alexandria, virginia. to what extent was the culture of honor shared to the military? given that both sides, senior military leadership came from -- mr. silkenat: one of the things they taught at west point was honor. i think one of the reasons why grant and lee and sherman and all these guys have a common

but african-americans in the south in part are influenced by whites in the south to have a culture of violence to deal with personal insult and personal disagreement. the use of violence was is common in the south, whites and blacks in this resort to violence of personal conflict is essentially migrated north with the african-american population that great one dash migration was italy's great but a positive benefit who moved away from the jim crow system and made tremendous gains in terms of income and work opportunities who share the back breaking labor of the sharecroppers of the south and who really inspire the civil-rights movement but there is a high rate of interpersonal violence that is the negative side of the great migration and was transported in this was a massive migration in 1960 about 800,000 headed to the north and also to the west coast the next decade it is a million and half it is a major migration so unfortunately there is a reluctance to deal with the issue but it does bring a great deal of violent crime and is a factor in the rise of violent crime. yet factors tha

the deep south was ready to go out. it is perfectly clear that the core states of what became the confederacy were ready to go in 1850. they were motivated. they were arming themselves. they were ready to act decisively. there was none of the determination to confront that politically or militarily that you found in the north finally by 1861. millard fillmore, a new yorker from buffalo was not abraham lincoln although he was a more interesting politician and president and very deft in this particular year, more than he's given credit for, but he was no abraham lincoln and he would not have taken the united states, what remains of the united states, to war. could the u.s. have won it had it tried to fight the civil war, i doubt it. it was not militarized in the same way as the south was, so by postponing the irrepressible conflict by a decade, it became a war that the united states, the north, could actually win, and of course as we know did win, and that makes all the difference in the world. had compromise not been brok

the south korean military began joint drills with the u.s. on monday. they threatened to carry out pre-emptive nuclear sites if south korea shows aggression towards north korea territory. south korea's military said that missile test was unsuccessful. >>> japan, china and south korea will begin talks. the japsz foreign minister hosted a banquet on tuesday for his counter parts in china and south korea. the ministers are likely to agree to advance negotiations on a free trade agreement between the countries. in the meeting with wong, takashita called for restrachblt. japan controls the islands. the government maintains they are an inherent part of japan's territory. china and taiwan claim them. the hope is that the talk will improve relations among the nations and will lead to an agreement among its leaders this year. >>> south korea's military says that the dmz has laid land lines in the zone. the media say it planted several land mines last week near a bridge in the dmz. north korean military personnel can enter the south controlled area if they cross t

-- electoral votes that comprise the states of the south. no new party movement has ever had the grass roots support that our movement has. there are movements that are movements of personalities of some small group represented -- representing only a small fraction of the public vote. but our movement does represent the majority thinking of the american people at this moment. >> we are back live in montgomery, alabama. this is a live picture of the governor's mansion, two miles south of downtown montgomery. dan carper, how is it that george wallace got 10 million votes and 46 electoral votes? >> all the states he won were in the deep south. to him, that was a disappointment. he had hoped to break into some of the border states. it was close in a number of them -- north carolina and virginia, and particularly tennessee. he was within striking distance. although he was disappointed, it was an extraordinary showing. no political third-party candidate since strom thurmond in 1948 had even carried enough votes in a state to take the electoral vote

the south wants to be part of the world of nations. they want to be recognized as a prosperous and advanced civilization, but they say to the rest of the world, we've got the answer, and it's slavery. that's what's going to allow us to avoid all of the chaos that was of course erupting in england and in places in the united states. all right. so we'll move to what caused the civil war? go right ahead. >> want to go first? >> you can go. >> to get back to gordon, i think his reminiscence illustrate one of the main tenets of the lost cause. but in some ways he deviates. he starts off in his explanation, this is in his reminiscence of why the civil war took place, by saying that slavery was the immediate fomenting cause of the conflict. and it's fair to say that if there hadn't been slavery, there wouldn't have been a war, but then he shifts, and in shifting, he gets to this point that confederate leaders made after the war. davis and alexander stevens in their writings, and then gordon says that it's really the heart of the conflict, tha

and the south today i think, you know, if one looks at the amount of violence in the south, the preoccupation with firearms, for instance, i think some of that can be tied even if it is only in a -- about southern ideas to honer in the 19th century that have survived, thinking about the honor of one's family and the kinds of ideas are still present at least in some parts of the south today. so, you know, i'm very hesant to draw any direct connections between events yesterday and events 150 years ago, but i think you're -- i think you touched on something that is probably there, there is some remnants of the southern culture of honor that remains. luckily there aren't that many duels anymore, but thank you. >> david growsen from alexandria, virginia. to what extent was the culture of honor shared through the military, given that both sides, senior military leadership came from -- >> sure. i think one thing they taught at west point was honor. i think one of the reasons why, you know, grant and lee and sherman and all these guys have a common vocabulary about honor is their common military serv

he carried the deep south, not nixon. now, this may all seem like i'm fighting about history, but it's very important history. why? because the moral capital of the democratic party comes from the idea that the democratic party are the good guys. they're the good guys. they have always been the good guys. they have always been fighting for the little guy and the ordinary man. they've been fighting for immigrants and latinos and blacks. in fact, the democratic party is the deadly enemy of the ordinary guy. they have been an anti-immigrant party from the beginning, they have been the enslavers and session regators and tormenters and murderers of blacks. you might say, well, what about today? what about today? so i was in philadelphia a couple days ago, kind of trolling the democratic convention, and then i decided to take a walk. and about a mile away, you see a very interesting sight. a real contrast with the glitz of the convention. and that sight is i'm going to call it the urban plantation, the urban plantation. now, thi

moreover he argued that defeat did not dishonor the south. even though the confederacy was defeated, the honor, their men and their cause had not. the confederates had gone out of this war, pollard observed, with the proud, secret, deathless, dangerous consciousness that they are the better men. pollard's pronouncement that defeat did not mean dishonor had long legs. more than 50 years later, the dedication of the unity monument at bennett place, the site of johnson's surrender, julian carr, who i mentioned earlier had boasted about whipping an african-american woman, after appomattox, delivered a speech entitled "peace with honor." he told the audience that no confederate soldier has ever surrendered or been asked to surrender the principles for which he fought. defeat, he argued, had only brought honor to the confederacy. we lost, he told them. but we won. thank you.

but, of course, organized crime didn't end there in the south. this is beyond the scope of my work, but most of you are probably familiar with some of the other more high profile cases in the 1960s like the murder of fuzzy hoard in jackson county, georgia. buford's campaign in mcnair county, tennessee. and a lot of very high profile cases along the gulf coast from the 1960s, even well into the 1980s. my big question, and the ones i still am working through, when i came here to start my research, my big questions were why haven't we focused on the south. why didn't kefauver pay attention to all these people. and what would a closer look at organized crime activities in the south really tell us? why do we need to know? the records don't offer any easy answers to that first question. but they do show that there was overwhelming evidence that organized crime thrived in the south and had corrupted local and even state politics by 1950. and that everybody knew about this. this was no secret. the correspondence files also outlined the extensive, diversif

and so the storm activity just starting to bubble across to the north but guess what to the south we still have more activity. this is when we will be watching. there's maricopa and big storms out of the valley but they are they could run into outflow boundaries from storms coming in from the north moving to the south and yarnell area a lot of lightning and yellows and redsindicating heavy rain and lightning and thunder up there. also for the mountains, up along the beeline highway to the south of payson across the area on the 87 more lightning and storm activity and remember, these outflow boundaries is when the air comes in and they meet and if the two can meet storms could create volumetivity. there's going to be a good shot of rainfall in the forecast here. monsoon meter is going to be bumped up. for today 94 to 99. isolate stod scattered tomorrows especially to the north and east of the valley and muggy and warm and remember we can have blowing dust and another potential for blowing sand. >> thanks for the heads up jimmy. well what do monsoon storms and the srp safety test lab ha

then he moves up into the state assembly in south carolina. and he comes to the house for two terms in the early 1870s, and he is one of the men who comes on to the floor and talks about the importance of passing the 1875 civil rights bill. and gives some speeches that are picked up in the northern press and they just swoon over him. and one of the speeches, he actually, kind of a point/counterpoint debate with alexander stevens, the former confederate vice president who has by that point come back to the house and elliott just blows him out of the water. he's so respected and he's such an ally of senator charles sumner that when sumner passes, shortly before his bill moves through the house and senate, elliott goes and delivers a eulogy at faneuil hall in boston, which is also widely picked up in the northern press. he leaves the house, actually, mid-congress in his second term and he goes back to south carolina because he cares so much about state politics and he's watching the way things are trending toward the end of reconstruction and seei

the immigrants from europe sell dem went south. so, this really fed into this call ever sure of taking the law into your own hands, and engaging in violence to respond insults, perceived or real. and that's where this honor culture takes root more in the south. >> a times reporter wrote a book called ghetto side, she argued that there was up to today, this culture of state indifference, to violence, in the african-american community. do we see something driving the culture, where the state neglect also contributeses to this retribution, the need to act, where the state has abandoned you. >> yes, i read her book. i noticed she focuses most on black victimization, without looking at the offenders and you need to look at both sides. i suppose there is an under policing, and there is a claim that there is a over policing in black communities. that's traditional waive handling things. if you are insulted, you take care of business. you resort to violence. often times, young men are members of gangs. so you have quarrels between gangs. th

as the south was. so by postponing the irrepressible conflict by a decade, it became a war that the united states -- the north could actually win and of course as we know did win. that makes all the difference in the world. had compromise not been brokered in 1850, this country would have fractured once and quite possibly more than once as i said earlier had secession been established as a precedent. how did the fugitive slave law -- i'm sorry, the other question. >> perhaps i would like to interpose this. okay, we -- by a decade, 11 years, but is that so? in 1850 we have the compromise. it might have held for 15 or 20 years but for an abrogation of the compromise by the man who put it together, stephen a. douglas with the kansas-nebraska bill. what's going on here? >> okay, let's look at what happened between 1850 and 1860. several things happened. let me start with the fugitive slave law because i want to talk about and i think -- i think its importance can't be underestimated. this was a nasty law. i

therefore the spread of federal power in the south. we see this debate even between grant and lee about the terms of surrender before appomattox takes place. i think the first step of reconstruction really happens at appomattox courthouse. the path to reclaiming masculine prerogative and control in the private's beer was a bumpy one for confederate veterans. david will tell us a little bit about how these challenges should the reentry of confederate veterans into their households as well as the relationships with wives, children and other family members. david. >> thank you. one thing you rate in your talk was the ways in which we can highlight the confederate experience and homecoming space was different than the union experience. one of the ways in which they are different is that in the north, there is this trope of the vacant chair. the soldier has gone off to war and the family remains at home and tries to sustain themselves until they can hopefully return and have a better return and resume normalcy after the war. i'm not sure tha
