radio, annette gordon-reed and peter onuf, authors of a new book and we are going to talk about thomas jefferson. welcome to all of you. again, thank you for being here on this beautiful night, you are in doors on a gorgeous washington night. i want to start with the title of the book, the "most blessed of the patriarchs", you talk about in the preface is of the book that thomas jefferson writes that he's planning on going back to monticello in virginia, he is writing a letter to angelica skyler church, for those of us cannot hear the name with out thinking angelica, eliza. he is ready to her in london and talking about her plans to go back to monticello. part of the writer letter reads i have my house to bill, my field to form and to watch for the happiness of those who labor for my. i've. i've one daughter married to the man of science, and who indeed i have nothing more to wish. they live with me. if the if the other shall be as fortunate and due process of time i shall imagine myself as blessed as the "most blessed of the patriarchs". so what are you talk about a little bit about what it was

trumbull was privy to the most intimate aspects of thomas jefferson's life. for actually a while he became a go-between in jefferson's wild romantic pursuit of maria causeway, a married artist to who was in paris at the time. trumbull delivered letters between them showing tremendous discretion. their lives were utterly wrapped up in the events of the revolution. charles willson peale fought. he was in a militia company from philadelphia on the banks of the delaware with washington with his musket and his painting kit. john trumbull was the son of the governor of connecticut and he watched from a distance the firebombing and burning of charlestown at the battle of bunker hill. he became washington's aide-de-camp. he was friends with all of these people. so, it is all of those stories woven together within the book. that was the fun of writing it. what is the book about you are wondering? i am going to mention for -- 4 principles or 3 building blocks of this book. if you read the book, if you go through the book from front to back, you will never hear me say ,

trumbull, john trumbull, lived with thomas jefferson in paris at the american embassy in paris. trumbull was privy to the most aspects of jeffson's life. he became a go-between in jefferson's wild romantic pursuit of maria causeway, an artist in paris at the time. trumbull delivered letters between them. showing tremendous discretion. their lives were utterly wrapped up in the event of the revolution. charles wilson fought, he was in a militia company. from philadelphia. he was on the banks of the delaware with washington. with his musket and his painting kit. john trumbull is the son of the governor of connecticut. and he watched from a distance the fire bombing and burning of charlestown at battle of bunker hill. he became washington's aid. he was friends with all of these people. and so it's all those stories woven together within the book. and that was the fun of really writing it. so what's the book about, you're wondering. and i'm going to mention four principles or four building blocks of this book. and if you read the book, if you, you know, go through the book of arms an

between the two candidates of the democratic republican party, thomas jefferson, virginia, and aaron burr of new york. the reason why this happened in because the candidates ran for this election differently than they have for any previous election. the electoral college system that the founders created when they wrote the constitution, they thought it would work such that the candidates would all be running for president, whoever came in first place would become the president, and whoever got the second-place vote in the electoral college would become the vice president. that worked fine when everybody voted for george washington in the first 2 elections, and it worked ok for john adams. in the 1800 presidential election, it didn't work very well at all. the difference was that the candidates in this election ran for the first time as a party ticket. thomas jefferson, ehrenberg ran together -- aaron burr ran together as the vice presidential candidate. when it came -- when it came time for the electoral college to vote, each electorate gets 2 votes. as such.ey voted they cast one ba

thomas jefferson and aaron burr ran together as the presidential and vice presidential candidate. when it came time for the electoral college to vote, each electorate gets 2 votes. and so they voted as such. they cast one ballot for thomas jefferson and the other ballot for his running mate, aaron burr, which resulted in a tight vote. -- tied vote. the election wasn't revolved -- resolved until after 36 ballots. they realized after this election with this tied vote, that would continue to keep happening if candidates ran as a party ticket. they would keep tying like that. so, just in time for the next election in 1804, the 12th amendment to the constitution was ratified. it just tweaked the voting a little bit in the electoral college so that each elector had to specify which of their votes was for president and which of their votes was for vice president. in doing so, they ensured there would not be a tie vote again and this would not happen, and that has worked. how the president is elected is probably one of the most common topics of proposed amendments to the constitution. thi

you can go all the way back to thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton, the arguments they had as to what the proper role of government should be, whether it should begin -- big government or little government, this or that kind of power. it ran through the constitutional convention and the arguments that occurred there. and it's appropriate that those who believe in government should have strong advocates on their side. and those who believe in free markets should have equally strong advocates on their side. and because i believe in free markets, i'm a republican, and i've been happy to be a republican, and i've been careful to stand up for those things that i believe, and i've compiled a record that many of my friends on the democratic side would consider fairly miserable in terms of wisdom on voting. but let us understand in the debate, that as we go back and forth between these two concepts, that we do not question the motives for the patriotism of anyone on the other side, or within our own caucuses. i remember an event where someone on the republican side voted with the democra

so thomas jefferson/aaron burr ran together as the presidential and vice presidential candidates. so when it came tie for the electoral college to vote, each election tore ge elector gets two votes. so they voted as such, one ballot for thomas jefferson and the other for his running mate aaron burr which resulted of course in a tie vote. the election wasn't resolved until after 36 ballots in the house of representatives which is where an election goes when no candidate gets a majority in the electoral college, that's what it says in the constitution. so they realized after this election with this tie vote that that was going to continue to keep happening if candidates ran as a party ticket, then they would keep tying like that. so just in time for the next election in 1804 the 12th amendment to the constitution can was ratified, and it just tweaked the voting just a little bit in the electoral college so that each election tore hor hady which of their votes was for president and which was for vice president, and in doing so they assured there would not be a tie vote again and this

he was a democratic republican from a friend of thomas jefferson personally. a quaker, pacifist, very pro-french. if he could get to france to meet with france's leaders, you might be able to talk them back from the edge and keep his country out of war. so george logan was a pretty prominent person in his day, there's certainly no one of the stature you would imagine would be needed to go and negotiate with a foreign country's leaders. kind of like one of these taking out a second mortgage to go to iran and negotiate a better nuclear deal. this is basically what he did. he spent his own money. he sold several parcels of land to finance the trip then he went to france and he was able to meet with france's leaders. he got an audience with the french director. by this time, francis in the wisdom of walking things back a little bit. another war with the what they needed at this time. it's impossible to determine what george logan's real impact was, but the french certainly thought there was a lot of impact for his attempt to come there and make peace. he was haile

but the title was thomas jefferson and the slaves of monticello. because during his lifetime he owned over 700 slaves. we had thomas jefferson and behind him the slaves at monticello. they know the names of all the enslaved he owned. so we put this huge series of tiles behind him that had the names of >>> our suggestion, in order for you to know who thomas jefferson was, you had to see him not just as an inventor, as a statesman, not just as an author, but he also was an owner of slaves. in order to see him, you had to see him through that prism as well. i suggest there are things that can be learned about robert e. lee and about stonewall jackson that we don't know, because they have become iconic symbols of a value system as opposed to individual men who had parts of them that were good, that were bad, and were ugly. >> now, you started with the memorial boulevard in richmond. does that mean augmenting that part of the church, adding material, adding something for the visitor to go on, or does it mean taking out those windows. >> i am suggesting

[laughter] of course i could not it away with calling him that. but we thought it was intriguing because it is so different from the idea from republicans who saw himself as an "avatar" that calls to mind that is biblical from ancient times and then referring to himself at monticello like the patriarch so let the same time we thought we
