grant wants sigel to get to stanton. he just needs to march up the valley, take stanton. march b up the valley means marching south. that's how their elevation goes. who is going to be opposing franz sigel in this movement? meet john c. breckenridge who will act as defender of the shenandoah valley and the transallegheny department. breckinridge was born in 1821, attempted to serve in the mexican american war. although he was with a military movement, he saw no active combat. returning to the home state of kentucky, he'll eventually serve in both houses of the u.s. congress. he becomes the youngest vice president in american history serving under james buchanan. in 1860 breckinridge runs for president. he's going to be one of the four candidates. we have lincoln, john bell, breckinridge breckinridge. his managers come up with a platform he doesn't necessarily agree with. breckinridge loses the presidential election as we know. lincoln takes office. the day he steps down from being the vice president, he takes his oath to be senator for kentucky. in the senate he's not on

ann: well, the central people from the early stages of themom elizabeth cady stanton would be one susan b anthony, lucy stone. and then you really spread out very fast because it's a movement that spread very fast. and it only was a long time in coming because men wouldn't say yes the decisions were always going to be made by men who had a monopoly on the political power and they were resisting it. they did not want women to have the vote. so it's a constant hammering away at the issue and i think one of the significant things about the centennial is that for all the flaws in this amendment. w men, you cannot presume to be in charge. soledad: interestingly, i think if you were to just run out in the street and poll americans today, right, and say 19th amendment most wouldn't even know what it was. but those who did would say women got the right to vote. talk to me a little bit about who was left out of that amendment. marcia: well, i mean women of color broadly were left out of that amendment in the sense that when the 19th amendment is passed barriers to voting are already implemented

when they get the news of gettysburg and vicksburg and then stanton says this. "you and your noble army now have the chance to give the finishing blow to the rebellion. will you neglect the chances? " and this illustrates right here that tullahoma is obscure even in 1863, as opposed to 2019. this is what rosecrans says in reply. i just received the batch announcing the fall of vicksburg and confirming the fall of lee. you do not appear to observe the fact that this noble army has driven the rebels from middle tennessee of which my dispatch has advised you. i beg on behalf of this army that the war department may not overlook so great an event because it is not written in letters of blood. i have now to repeat, that the rebel army has been forced from its strong entrenched position at shelbyville and tullahoma and driven over the cumberland mountains. my cavalry advances within eight miles of the alabama line. no organized rebel force within 25 miles of there nor on this side of the cumberland mountains. bragg's retreat doesn't stop until they're in chattanooga.

this is fort stanton on the southeast side. hard to see with the lighting here. but majority of the magazines were made out of earth, reinforced with wood. and this particular instance they had german engineers come in to construct this masonry magazine. this was taken by me last winter. so it is in immaculate condition, 150 plus years later, on top of the cover and base of species, plants, weeds and things like that. inside you see these were built to last. and also they built forts to cover the river and everyone will like these images here. not only protected the land side of the city, but also the river as well. they were fearful the confederates could send iron clad gun ships and shell the city. so they built two major important works which the general called model works in 1863. this is fort fort foot, one of mps sites. this is battery on the alexandria side and you've got a 200-pound parrot rifle and those are the two largest guns they have in washington, d.c. the rodman guns can fire a 400-pound round and penetrate iron clad gunships. that's why these wer

i'm a senior project architect with stanton architecture. i'm here to present some slides about the project and answer any questions that you may have. the project is located on sutter between stockton and powell street downtowns. it's a block from union square and nearby hotels such as the hampton, the marriott, and the sir francis drake. this makes it the prime location for our project, which we're proposing to demolish an existing two-story residential and office and construct a hotel with 165 guest rooms. the building programming will include a hotel lobby with bar and retail at the ground level and publicly accessible open space on the rooftop. levels 2 through 12 will have 15 guest rooms per room, with windows oriented to sutter street and toward the side property lines. the rooms themselves are small, a little less than 250 square foot each other average, but since the project is a select service hotel product in an active area, we don't anticipate the guests to spend a significant amount of time in their rooms. we're currently workin

the raiders moved down the tracks about 16 miles towards the stanton rich brinl early in the morning. it was another horribly hot day, destroying the tracks as they went. little did they know that a makeshift confederate forest at the bridge was gathering at they are front. the leader of this motley collection of militia, con vaulessing regulars, prison guards, students from a nearby boys' academy, was this fellow can be captain benjamin fair fold. himself an officer recovering from a wound. in just 36 hours of being notified of the raid, fair holt had accumulated a force of up to 1250 of these men. my command was a heterogenious mass, the rawest kind of recruits, from 14 to 20 and 50 to 65 years of age. he decided to make his defense north of the river. where he put 250 of his men in earth works that were anchored on both flanks on the river including a log barei kaid with loopholes where 20 of the men were posted. he assigned responsibility to this to a man named henry eaton coldman of the 12th carolina who had suffered, in which part of his head was actually taken off. culmen went

stanton, chase, and well say, you know you have to be kidding. they are not going to take advantage of this. lincoln is not going to be rushed. he has halleck send a message for an meade about plans immediate offensive. meade says you've heard is just just getting back from his reconnaissance. lincoln says, not good enough. are11th and 12th corps detached from the army of the potomac to go to save the situation in chattanooga. this changes the strength of the army of the potomac not at all. all of the guys who had been sent north to enforce the draft back.ath -- men.s down to 55,000 is outnumbered by 35,000. the odds have shifted badly against him. all meade can see is he is lost two of his seven corps and he still has to send 5000 men to guard the railroad. and i do not go down this railroad line anyway. i know we are capable of offensive action. meade was not going to take advantage of the circumstances. lee's army is as biggest his own. he is not going to go over to the offensive. lee is of a different mindset. he goes over to the offensive. o

of office act of dubious constitutionality, which resumed to protect the secretary of war, edward stanton, who is protecting the military, who is protecting black men in white republicans at the polls. that's what johnson did. he violated that particular law. he broke the law. don't longer did the house have a choice. it felt it voted overwhelmingly to undertake the extraordinary steps, the first ever impeachment of a president. johnson was subsequently tried in the senate and as a mention acquitted only one vote. no, impeachment was not a mistake an incident in american history. it really did have to do with the direction the country was going to take and, in fact, the tenure of office act violation was not really why johnson was impeached. beyond it was the recognition even by those who had been reluctant in features, that impeachment was absolutely crucial to the nation come to its welfare, to its future, a future envisioned by those who understood that the time has come, was long overdue to create a free and fair country. this impeachment was one of the last great battles with slavery

house managers claim that president john's removal of lincoln secretary of war edward stanton without congress's permission in violation of a congressional statute is best understood with revisionist hiepds sight to be motivated not by his desire to violate the statute but on his ill legitimate use of power to subordinate african-americans following the civil war. that may be true. it's another thing all together to claim that motive actually was the basis of johnson's impeachment. professor lawrence tribe who was the source for this misguided reinterpretation of the johnson impeachment substitutes his own self-described far more compelling basis for johnson's removal from office from the one that the house of representatives actually voted on and the senate considered at his impeachment trial. there's been an awful lot of that going on. at any rate, a president so called ill legitimate motives in wielding power can no more frame and legitimatize the johnson impeachment than recasting the nixon impeachment. again, all of that may be true but it has nothing really to do with impeachmen

resolution thinking american soldiers and the war of mexico was the most unjust and the husband of katie stanton that grabs hold and then tilts sideways he died two days later in the capital building the numbers add up to 11 those that have died in the capital. and those that did not arrive in washington to say goodbye to his father he got as far as philadelphia and then he realized his father was dead. before arriving in washington henry clay as the secretary of state say that lester would continue and that is a challenge. so not only the last surviving child that he was the son and the grandson and at that time they were the only dynasty. with john adams in martin van buren so imagine the pressure that turns out very well the grandson and the son of the presidents of charles francis at that some point. so that long life and storied career but this man is the core. and as he buries his father and then what he has to decide what that meant for him to go back on beacon hill and with public office they both served one term and with those ancestors harvard educated , three years in the state house

didn't know is porterfield abandoned philippi and move his command 35 miles south to beryl on the stanton and parkersburg turnpike. several women had come into porterfield's camp at philippi and warned him 5,000 troops were headed his way. with this storm porterfield reasoned he needed to wait until the next morning before starting out. porterfield was very short on equipment and supplies, particularly cartridges and percussion caps. the caps he was sent were for shotguns and too small. so he could not risk losing this stuff in this crazy storm that was going on. he had the wagon unloaded. he had pickets posted on the road into town. and porterfield went to bed reasoning no troops are going to march through this storm. i'm going to be safe for tonight. unfortunately for porterfield, his officer of the day got drunk. most of the pickets and scouts around town said, heck with them, they got out of the rain and abandoned their posts and went looking for cover. one confederate soldier is even quoted as saying, hell, any army marching tonight must be made up of a damned set of fools. dumont's

joining us now to talk more about his legacy, nbc news correspondent stephanie stanton from los angeles. hey, stephanie. >> reporter: hi, richard. you know, the entire city of los angeles in mourning really the entire world in mourning. news of the death of kobe bryant sent shock waves across the world. and you know condolences have been pouring in all day long, from current lakers players, former teammates of kobe bryant, celebrities, the president, even former president obama offering his condolences. you know kobe bryant was only 41-years-old. he was with the lakers 21 years. he led the team to five nba championships. he was also an oscar winner. just a cultural icon. but in his personal life, kobe was also a dedicated family man, a husband and a father to four daughter. he married his wife vanessa in 2001. the couple had those four girls of course, one died in the crash along with him, 13-year-old gianna now, back in 2017, the lakers held a halftime ceremony against the golden state warriors retiring his number 8 and number 24 jerseys. during his speech, kobe had a very special mess

household names, frank stanton and many other leading scholars in academics and media figures. and over the years, the quality or the prestige of the board commission members seemed to decline. would you comment on that? how can that be restored? i think you could argue that their output is important in the wider public and if you don't have that prestige, you don't get the attention of congress, policymakers, white house. >> thank you. in answering that, i'm going to borrow heavily from bruce gregory. bruce, jump in at any point. i hope you will. bruce as a former executive director, he talks about this as three eras of the commission. the first, as you point out, where we have household names. cultural icons and james michener. and then the second is the era of commissioners who might that necessarily be household names, but you're certainly movers and shakers in the washington community and beyond. the business community and the media world, and who have the ability to pick up the phones or write the letters or have the conversations that could perhaps influence events. and

when i buy her presence, i fire feminist presence, you know, a picture of stanton, a picture of things of that kind. she . she identified very strong with feminism but she's completed on my side. >> i didn't know it yet leica platform or not to speak out. when someone who is accused in the family especially, i know for me i'm going be the first one to defend someone in my family. i think at the same time it could almost backfire because it's almost like welcome you are just given him because look who you are and interior's how she went about with that. >> i wouldn't ask any my children or grandchildren to publicly defend me. i did want to put them in an awkward position with have to be against their friends. look, i can defend myself. as my wife says all the time, given a choice between a bad diagnosis and about lawsuit, we'll take the bad lawsuit any day. so far i've been lucky with the diagnoses, and so look, if you're going to go after me, go after me in court. that's what i thrive. i'm not the first lawyer who has been falsely accused and fought back. i'm optimistic. i don't lose a

if you go to this wonderful battlefield -- has anyone been to stanton battlefields state park? three or four people. but that on your list. because about the field looked just like it did in 1864. now wasn't opened the action within artillery bombardment at maximum range on high ground, around mulberry hill and the macphail house, which is now part of the park and periodically open to the public. an 18 century home out there in the middle of nowhere. he ran with empty trains back and forth and had his men cheers if reinforcements were coming. macphail who was present up there told that there were 10,000 confederates on the way. cars look at that renewed said maybe we ought to be followed enough alone here general wilson. wilson would have none of this. i directed to general touched just want his division handed effort which close enough to the end of the rich and as close fire to it, wasn't explained as he moved west to advance right into spear on the left. curtis men recognized a tough nut to crack when they saw it. the destruction of the bridge was very desirable but was from

editors and talking about the vicksburg campaign and he know it won't be very fondly in otherston by stanton and but once he crosses the river in mississippi you see him counting on his fingers if i tell them what i'm about to do and it goes up to headquarters by bet up to memphis and cairo and telegraph t washington they will get message and it will take how many days and the message will ome back and i have about a wee week. you can do a lot in eight days. so he broke every rule and takes and the d vicksburg seventh attempt will succeed and grant reaches vicksburg. still got to take it but he reaches it. that is where we then get to the level and that is where you get into the battles themselves. fights creating a bridge landing ou will or point. we mentioned normandy earlier and all of that. the ballot of fort gibson may 1 is where he really secures a inland. 12th.ast move to raymond on jackson on the 14th then he will vicksburg rd toward and fight battle of champion on may 16 and follow-up battle the 17th at big black bridge. so i'm now talking about champion hill. what has the confedera
