there is american studies at just look at the american experience without looking at concurrent efforts by other states and their same host nations. the same goes for the small number of british studies as well. what i am trying to do with this work is to build in a more holistic assessment of those different security actors that to lookviding security at the liaison, lack thereof, between those states. i think this provides a better appreciation of decision-making politics involved in that kind of the system and the impact it may have had. just a briefly provide an example from another small article i am working on in tanzania. if you just looked at to what is obviously a former british protectorates in 1961, if you just look at the british experience there by way of security assistance, training upward the colonial police, you would conclude that in 1961, the government in tanzania cut size -- cut high does -- cut ties and marched off in an independent fashion. it's built-in -- it builds into the wilson center's broader agenda. archives, youli will see quite quickly that it was in fac

king's vision was for a multiracial campaign to bring americans, native american, african-americans,ino american, pew to recpew puerto rican s, to lobby the presidency for economic changes, changes for the fundamental economic system that would alleviate poverty in america. this must recall is of a tent city that housed 3500 individuals on the wall in washington, d.c. represents that kind of multiracial character of the campaign. it contains a number of representation from chicanos, interested in the movement who brought their concerns and their culture to washington, d.c. for this moment. we're assuming that it was produced in part by students from california, the university of the pacific and the university of california at los angeles. but it's also evident that this could have been representing a number of individuals from various parts of the country, including the use of amiric language which expresses the hope that poverty can be ended in the united states. with king's death, his associate, the hef rend ralph abernathy and his widow continued the people's campaign. tent city,

and get this one, 1800, and 70,000 native american, and 300,000 anglo-saxon white americans. what we see here is a demographic of white populations simply streaming across the alleghenys and why is the indian population going down? disease. they don't have immunities to the especially smallpox and measles, most of them don't. and so therefore, at demographic wave begins to hit indian settlements there is, all of a sudden people start dying. and's like an artillery barrage in world war i, with microbes and viruses doing the work of the artillery shells. could this have turned out differently? washington tried to do it, and in the history of the presidency, a lot of the biographers have missed this or not geoffen not given it much significance. he makes the american economic policies to be delegated. and so he gives it and can we find a way for indian removal. to be avoided. they create the treaty of 1790 with a creek chief called alexander magirve. he's literate in english, french and greek. and they call him a tallyrand. and they say that they want to create a policy where th

it wasn't american. we were different. - [kathleen] following the american civil war, us territory grew, as did its involvement in international trade and politics. by the late 19th century, it was becoming clear that america needed professional diplomats to represent her growing interests. - we had begun to try to professionalize the civil service of the united states, to no longer make it essentially a spoil system for political victors. - the aftermath of wwi, the huge era for american diplomacy, the department entered that conflict with a very low up tempo 19th century bureaucracy and all of a sudden, there's this deluge of activity that they're forced to respond to and i think that's part of the impetus towards the rogers act. - [kathleen] in 1924, wilbur j. carr wrote the rogers act, which merged the diplomatic and consular offices under the newly formed foreign service. - legislation was passed that eliminated the complete amateur hour we'd had before. - we said a diplomatic service needs to be pr

, and native americans fighting for an equal role in american civic life.t, this is war. and we do not know how to fight. we have no american general whoever commanded an army core, not one of our naval officers fought against a dread knot. no artillery man shot at aircraft. we must learn, the war is upon us and we must decide what we are going to do about it. we who love peace ought to keep out of war as long as possible. and when we are forced to go in, go in hard. >> for women, the prospect of war also provoked debate. many of the american red cross nurses had experienced the tribulations of war firsthand. jane delano founder of the red cross nursing service wrote in the winter of 1915 -- >> we have learned that women can be mobilized without confusion, but their chances of illness seem to be no greater than men's. that they face danger with equinimity. we should be able to guarantee a satisfactory nursing personnel, not only for national relief in times of calamity, but for efficient service should our country be confronted with that greatest of all dis

lot of americans in the north were in the abolitionist movement. when they graduate from college they had limited career options. but the opportunity to become a missionary was to american women because as that experienced grew in china with the realization and then we have to have american women but those that are married to those preachers to go to china to prophesies. so for a while their largest chunk of all missionaries event got deeply involved with the first literacy campaign and deeply involved that where we were ultimately successful. and to be a place all the you could be. and then to be effectively banned with the sheriff departments to barely get a job that the college level. said to have that first career woman. that'd save fascinating strain you have a lot of american women were as in the united states would be more difficult but also hillary clinton. and with her debacle over health care and from my perspective is not coincidental. but again china has a bizarre role the. >> what about the chinese women you mention these aviators and

this is about specific americans. these are dozens of americans operating out of that base at al tanf. that missile strike put those americans in a position of having to ultimately fight tooth and nail for hours in close combat, ultimately with air support just to hold on to that base. today, the new president did an interview on the fox business channel where in the middle of that interview he volunteered and sort of an awkward new thought about syria. i should tell you, i'm going to play what he said here but it's also awkward how they broadcasted it. they covered it with a fancy cable tv animation. you can hear what he says here. >> we're not going into syria. >> so this was not the response to a question. this is the start of their segment. we're not going into syria. now, i don't know if by "we" he means -- i don't know who he means. we the trump family. if by "we" he means the united states military isn't going into syria, that doesn't make sense because the united state military is already in syria in pretty bi

[ applause ] >> thank you. many thanks for this return to fredericksburg and i'm particularly heartened that both the lecture series, champion we yim william crawley are now named after him and my biography of harriet tubman got launched in the same year. and i think it's a testament to the well-told story

-americans,euro native americans, african americans. i want to suggest to a degree some connection between those two, how the study of society and the study of nature reflect and reinforce each other. they celebrate the republican origins. is especiallyn emblematic of that connection. more on that in a bit. let me begin with audubon, and as one must, with a bird. but in this case, a bird and a book, and this is audubon's massive five volume, 3000-paged opus ornithological biography. it was written to be an accompaniment to the birds of america. he gives it tremendous discretion of the birds of america. it is a book ornithologist could use and probably still use now, very useful. but in addition to the discussions of birds, he gives us descriptions of people, the american people, as well. he does it in a remarkable and revealing way, much more than ornithology. here is an example. if audubon had been asked to name the most valuable bird, the mvb of the american people, he probably would have made an easy en.ice, the purple martie he wrot

the american people -- we listen to the american people. they're not enough republicans to kill anything around here. we do the best we can. we're one of the -- you know, we're not protected under the endangered species act, but we're looking to expand that to protect minorities like ours, but my view is the american people, the majority of the american people, democrats, republicans, independents, said, "not this year, and we don't want all this government, we don't want everything else." and we're not going to be defensive about that. we responded to the american people. now, it's all right for senator mitchell to come up here and blame the republicans, and that ought to be pursued by some in the media, but we responded to the american people. that's what this is all about. so i don't -- i'm not a bit defensive. neither is paul coverdell or bob packwood who'll be here in a , minute. we think we responded to what they want. and what they didn't want was a big, big bureaucracy and global budgets, and mandated alliances, and mandates on smal

so do the american people. i often say that every american has it in their d.n.a. keep your mits off of my privacy. what i consider to be private. now the consequences of passing this resolution are clear. broadband providers like at&t, comcast and others will be able to sell your personal information to the highest bidder without your permission and no one will be able to protect you. not even the federal trade commission that our friends on the other side of the aisle keep talking about. it's like open the door and there's no one there. that's what this thing creates. the republicans are blowing a gaping hole in federal privacy protections by barring the f.c.c. from ever adopting similar protections in the future. so if it's gone today, it's gone. period. the f.c.c. rules are simple. they require broadband providers to get the permission of their customers, including all of us, before they can sell their web browsing history, their location information, and other sensitive data to third parties. the majority claims that we need to repeal these protections because

i'm native american. i live on the reservation and i'm here to let all of america no that racism is alive and wellin north dakota. as far as well as the government is treated native americans throughout history, we were the first people here.in let me point out a couple of things the government has i feel wrongly treated native americans go back to the flooding of the garrison dam. how the natives were thirsting t on the bottomlands, crops were good but the flooding of the garrison dam they took away moved all the native americans to higher ground. were not farmers. we were meant to live off the land, moving their put us in a whole different area. number two, i'd like to bring up the pipeline. how the government handled that was really -- racism is all around. around. >> host: sal, let's leave it at those two but let me ask you a question. that was all during the obama administration. right? >> caller: well, my answer to that is a zebra never changes its colors. what i mean by that is regardless of the ad

american history tv, only on c-span three. >> recently american history tv was at the annual meeting in denver colorado. with professors come authors, and graduate students about their research. this interview is about 20 minutes. >> we are with susan lederer. a medical history professor at the university of wisconsin. you focus on bioethics. how did attitudes about death change in the united states after world war ii? professor lederer: there was a growing interest in the increasing costs of the funeral industry. great concern about funeral directors who unscrupulously took advantage of people during their time of need. in response to this exultation, -- this exploitation there was a , trend toward simple burial and the formation of so-called memorial societies that offered working-class families a much cheaper cost associated with the death of their loved ones. and another change was the enormous attention to the possibility that blindness could be cured by cornea transplants in the 1940's. thousands of americans volunteered their corneas after their deaths in the effort to restore

there's no benefit for working class americans or middle class americans. there's no incentive to create jobs. in fact, i have no idea what the thinking or plan that went into the president's tax plan. all i know is that the american people get up every day and go to work. or those who go up every day and get three or four buses to go to work, and part of the time they're going to work they have to drop off their children at a school that may not be in their neighborhood, because there is need for more investment in education. all i know is that those people of whom i'm so proud to be able to represent, as well as large businesses and small businesses, who i believe, as i've listened to corporate leaders just a few hours ago saying, we're with you all. we want what is best for america. this is not what we desire. not to give all to us or the top 1%. we want to help america grow. because as america grows, our companies thrive. our shareholders thrive. that is not the message of this administration. so i'm delighted to join the congressional progressive caucu

american dead -- americans were lost during the war. nodecember 1941, there was greater registration service. you pretty much had to start off from scratch. the army looked back at the experience of world war i to see how the army operated. in france, they used that as precedents for what they established in world war ii, particularly what comes after -- the removal of war graves and bringing back to the united states. that first started in world war i and the pattern continued after world war ii. essentially, grave registration is the responsibility of the quartermaster, still is. the army has joined overview of graves registration or mortuary affairs as is called now. there were about 22 grave registration companies in the european theater supporting in the front as well as the front moved east towards germany, they continued to do the work behind the scenes around norman e -- normandy, actually actually establishing and taking care of the cemeteries, that sort of thing. grave registration is a unit responsibility down to the lowest l

the americans are losing. john paul jones runs on the deck two and they go on to win the battle and capture the british ship. it is that kind of fame that john paul jones craved, he was really an ambitious person. of course, not everybody else is an ever with somebody who was incredibly ambitious. and so, he was constantly getting fired by the continental congress, and didn't get the commands of the ships he wanted. he ends up taking his baseball bat and glove and leaving after the revolution and he signs up to fight with catherine the great's navy in russia. he is hoping he will make a lot of money, and that doesn't work out. finally, at the end of his life to paris and dies in obscurity. but his name lives on beyond his lifetime, and eventually, his body which was buried in paris is brought back to the united states, and he is now buried at the naval academy in annapolis, maryland. this picture of john paul jones, done about 10 years before he died, i think is just great. he is looking off to the distance an

do we want more americans employed or do we want to put more americans back to work? do we want to have rules that encourage broadband monopolies or do we want rules that promote competition and more options for consumers? and we bought american consumers broadband privacy to be protected by an uncertain legal regime or do we want to and power the best cop on the beat, the commission, to protect americans privacy consistently and comprehensively? the answers to each of these questions is obvious to me. when the commission grant to the title to order two years ago, i expressed hope that we would look back at that vote as an aberration. from thery deviation bipartisan path that had served us so well. i voiced my confidence that the orders of the title to or already numbered. at the next meeting on may 18, we will take a significant step towards making that prediction a reality. later this year, i am confident that we will finish the job. make no mistake, this is a fight we intend to wage and a fight that we are going to win. thank you very much.

true american history in even american heroes, and real american values, the values and principles that build our nation are rewritten or omitted all together. the result is in merging generation of citizens with warped minds. when their turn comes how can they possibly lead, lacking any fundamental gulpedness american principles and values. even now the political elites feed off the uninformed, self-absorbed, self-minded generation. free safe spaces. free college. free health care. free jobs. or if not, free money to get by. free immigration. free sanctuary cities. bernie sanders was not a movement as a fawning media called his campaign. bernie is a political predator of young voters who were lied to by school teachers and college professors. set up for his message of big government socialism. free, free, free. free for me. no one told the truth about all that free stuff was going to be paid for. it was all one big fat lie. and the media, they were in on the lie from the start. because it fits their agenda. when did the media stop being journalists and start becoming pr flaks for the d

grant, american hero, american myth. as i have told her more than once, it has done so much to the restore the reputation of a real hero, ulysses s. grant. next is douglas edgarton, professor of history at la, in oyne college in syracuse. he doesn't know it although i tried to allude when i speak to him he has been a mentor to me in understanding reconstruction with the legal, political and cultural implications, and he did that through his wonderful book, "the wars of reconstruction, the brief, violent history of america's most progressive era." his newest book is terrific, too. "thunder at the gates, the black civil war regiments that redeemed america." finally, edna green medford, our executive board member of the lincoln forum, speaker here. chairman of the department and professor of history at howard university, coauthor with me and harold holtzer on "abraham lincoln and the emancipation proclamation, three views." and her own volume, "lincoln and emancipation," part of the presser lincoln series. so before i ask e

since 2010, heroin overdose deaths have doubled among hispanic americans, african americans, native americans and whites. just a lot of those people who are addicted to prescription drugs have switched to heroin, as we said, we're now seeing that heroin addicts are switching also. even if they don't know they're doing it often, they're switching to do synthetic forms of fentanyl, like fentanyl and carfentanil can be up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. sometimes they don't know it because the traffickers are sprinkling this fentanyl in other drugs. heroin, of course, but also we know now cocaine mixing it with marijuana, mixing it with other drugs, not letting people know it. we had a 14-year-old girl recently die in dayton, ohio, who was snorting what she was told was heroin with her drugs. she had done it before. but this was carfentanil or fentanyl and killed her instantly. more than 1,000 ohioans were killed by fentanyl in 2015, more than double the previous year and more than ten times the number in 2013. in cleveland, for example, there have been more overdoses from fentanyl in the

americans.s a dynamic region that gives us another way to look at appalachia and its place in the american story. the reality of social and cultural formation is far more complex than the anglo centric model first constructed by sharp and emulated by subsequent scholars. this offers an inclusive way through which we can understand and enjoy the richness of all of our appalachian heritage. again, these are bands that emerged in the wake of the black banjo conference in boone, north carolina. it was designed as a way to reconnect african-americans to their rural past. i think i will end with that. thank you all, and goodbye. >> you are watching american history tv. all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. to join the conversation, like us on facebook at c-span history. >> tonight on cuba

, buy american. it's going to limit the number of visas that are allowed for some workers to come into the u.s. the specifics were quite vague and the white house is saying that the department of labor and justice and homeland security will put specific numbers on these. they are also going to make the federal government, these agencies, buy american goods and products here. it's not a piece of legislation. something like this would be he have popular among republicans and democrats but the administration has not proposed this as legislation. so he will be signing this but as the 100-day mark of the presidency approaches next week, the white house is aware of sort of a sense of a lack of living up to all of those campaign promises, delivering on all of those promises. they are trying to show action and they are signing that executive order here. you can see behind me here, the flag is made out of wrenches. of course, we are at the snap-on manufacturing center here in wisconsin. an american company, o

the american people are asking, why not? with that, i yield time. >> i think the gentleman and i thank mr. pascrell for his work on this. if you look at the financial 55,losure on page 3, line arks llc.see dt m the point mr. pascrell has just been making is if you own an llc and you pass that income through on your tax return, you've got a series of forms that he was outlining, including foreign gifts that would be disclosed, that we would get through these tax returns and if these tax returns don't do it themselves, then getting the information that those tax returns would lead to would get information ,hat would relate mr. pascrell to the very issue you raised. -- alleged russian mobsters into the record. >> without objection. >>>> in that regard, is also vey notable only we already know about mr. trump and his charitable operations. fortunately, when mitt romney ran for office, he included his charitable foundation. john mccain included his charitable foundation when he ran or office. but all we know about president trump

american.the economy? let's discuss with stephen moore. distinguished visitor from the heritage foundation. and also joining us is anthony chan. managing director at chase. the first part of this, buy american, hire american, to spend a period of evaluating how to do it. it doesn't force anybody to do anything. mr. chan, sounds great to the american voter and working man and woman. great. what is the economic impact of something like this that we have seen over time? >> chris, you are right. it does sound great. everybody would love for u.s. companies and u.s. government to buy american each time. one of the things that concerned me is that when you do something like this it raises the possibility that other countries around the world will also start to say maybe they should buy their own local product. keep in mind, more than 10 million jobs in the united states are supported by u.s. exports and if other countries certainly hurt u.s. jobs.n - another factor, it is not clear we have enough supp

that includes all americans, not 90%. all americans. you have to feel a sense of identity to all of them. when you do, then you are the jobs president and can become the health care president. and the idiot issues you can leave for people at the extremes. host: here is a tweet from a viewer -- those -- does the 14th amendment requires each state to deliver an equal amount of health care -- degree of health care? guest: i do not think so. it is something wise and good for the government to provide, but that is it. host: another viewer -- isn't canadian health care a preventable -- prevention system? is it dishonest to call it single-payer? guest: there's too much of a federal mandate, and the details are left to be worked out per province. i am familiar with ontario and quebec. they work well. but the mandates were too tough. for example, you cannot do co-pay. when i go to the doctor, they want my credit card and i am charged $25. i guess the insurance companies figure that is good in terms of taking care of wait times. so it is not a ba
