they memorialized their service at gettysburg. other discussions about the monuments at gettysburg. the creation of the national cemetery here. all of these are a reflection of how important it is burke was and reflection of the fact that the army identified so strongly with itself. as itsr saw grants identity, although they admired grant and came to admire general meade as well. tellingly, it was the decision not to do something. the army saw that decision as careful solidification of their well-being without risking the cause for which they fought. and they appreciated that a great deal. so, you find the low, simmering placement in american heritage is a function of all these things. this is probably the largest group of people who have gotten up early for george gordon meade since the great review in 1865. [laughter] >> i think the mine run thing is very interesting. own correspondent is upset that that did not take place. called up that assault when he is in charge of the second core, and meade's own correspondence, i was ready to go. gets credited with mine run, but oddly enoug

on the final day of the gettysburg this is the final position. the army was driven away from this ridge. the southerners occupied their ridge at this point, they lay out their con nones on this ridge as well. n now, we know all this because the battle of gettysburg is the greatest battle of civil war. people came here afterwards, there were early heroiiss tornst checked people's stories. there was a map made within the year of the battle and that shows a union and found ked rat soldier and actually more than that on the property itself. all of the accounts and photos and everything else bolstered that. the postwar history of the house is interesting as well. because here you have one of numerous houses on the battle, the civil war battles are usually in people's backyards. the civil war's fought in people's houses and on their land and this is no expectation. nobody thought of observing all the battlefield of the civil war. this became one or numerous places, right around the major route where people could stay and receive travel services that ev

but the riots were delayed cousin the defeat at gettysburg. -- because of the defeat at gettysburg. i have not found any hard evidence. richard: how do the riots mirror contemporary political tests -- contemporary protests such as the l.a. riots? i think we raised the question of scale. you have to do a multiplier for the population. john: i think if you look at the casualty figures in l.a., for example, i think 21 people were killed. probably a more comparable riot, if you want to call it a riot, was tulsa in 1921. there may have been more people killed there. we will never know. there was so much destruction of property. fire consumed evidence. probably tulsa. john: and there were the riots leading up to and during world war ii, as well. i hadn't thought about it until now, there is something about we go to war, that can lead to domestic violence and the mystic uprising against the war or whatever. his seat in the civil war, world war i and world war ii, and then in vietnam. richard: the first casualties of the war 1812 were in a baltimore riot. first americans killed. john: there

the nearest battlefield was gettysburg, 200 miles away. it was something that if it didn't come into your home, you didn't think about it all that much. you were making tons of money on it as well. there was an awful lot of war profiteering. >> talk about the gold room. that has always fascinated me. >> go. >> the room where gold was traded in new york. >> down on -- >> apparently they had better military intelligence than the manning staffs of the union or the con ffederacy. >> the price of gold would go up when things were going in one direction. so there was tremendous amounts of speculation. lincoln said he wished he could assassinate or have execute all the speculators in gold. because it had a big impact on the greenback, the paper money. >> when you have two sources of money, there's arbitrage. >> also, confederates apparently were coming up -- people representing the confederacy, buying up huge amounts of gold and hoarding it so that the price of gold -- to affects the price of gold. >> to what extent were there spies and agents he

after gettysburg, it's 10 months before there is another battle. after the eastern wilderness, it's two days, so it really is different in that regard, too, and we are now ready for another question. you already ave the mic. >> i'm sorry, we will have to take that away from you. >> thank you all very much. wonderful talks. i was really curious about the fluid nature of the -- the events you describe after april 9. in the beginning, you talked about the exchange of letters about what extent grant's orders really apply to everyone else, so it got me thinking about to what extent the lincoln administration and union high command is engaged in some sort of planning before these events take place to anticipate a hopeful mass surrender and try to create a legal and practical framework to execute that. >> the short answer is that they do not think out these things other than the conversations lincoln has had with grant and sherman and others in late march. what grant is doing is trying to get the surrender of lee's army. i'm not faulting him for this, but

gettysburg was the nearest battlefield, 200 miles away. something that if it did not come into your home, you did not think about it all that much. there was a lot of were profiteering going on in new york to -- in new york. the room where gold was traded in new york -- richard: and currently they had better intelligence than the staffs of the union and confederacy. john: the price of gold would go up in one direction and then go down. there were tremendous amounts of speculation. lincoln said he wished he could assassinate or execute all the speculators. it had a big effect on the greenback. richard: when you have two sources of money, there will be arbitrage. -- john: also there are people representing the confederacy buying it up to affect the price of gold. richard: to what extent were there spies and agents of the confederacy? barnet: that was the question. a lot of people thought the riots were part of a concerted southern military strategy. it seemed to them more than coincidence, but rather conspiracy. the timing of the riots was s
