representatives of every tribe who held lands in the maumee river valley they come together in greenville, and they signed the first treaty in american history that accurately deals with the native americans who actually owned and lived on this land every tribe does have a representative and the appropriate representative to sign and what this does end up doing though because they seeded their land is it does open up for those indian removal acts which you'll see really removes the native americans all the way out west which again opens up the united states for manifest destiny and the push even further west than what the original treaty line was. you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org cities tour. this is american history tv only on c-span 3. american history tv on c-span 3 every weekend documenting america's story funding comes from these television companies and more including comcast. are you think this is just a community center? no, it's way more than that comcast is partnering with a thousand community centers to create

the one that happened down here this morning, it was probably closer to the greenville fault.e of those are connected. it is not likely the two had anything to do with each other. they just happened to occur within a few hour of each other. and they were close in intensity. >>> okay, back to the weather. noticeable warmup today. 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. it is one thing to put the numbers on the screen. but here is how you can visualize the way this day worked out so differently depending on where you were. the departer shade of orange, you felt the warmup. and you can see where that happened. it was inland alameda. inland contra costa county and parts of marin. you could see in the immediate bay, it was only a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday. and we have done the big warmup. tomorrow, it will be pretty much identical to the way today felt. so, the big change happened today. and now, we will just kind of repeat it for probably the next several days. in fact, morning lows tomorrow will go down to 39 for santa rosa. that is our only spot going into the 30s . ever

afterwards two or three carloads to the regiment were taken to the town of greenville about 30 miles from here and treated to a big dinner. it is a copperhead town or has been. i think the boys hardly did their duty while there for the town gave about 600 republican majority. and then another soldier said this yesterday was the state election here. and most of our regiment went down to the city and voted some of the boys voted 25 times each governor morton. the republican candidate was elected by a large majority. so the massachusetts men helped elect him. elections back then are a little bit different than what we experience. we do experience something that they experience then long lines. this is a line of men waiting to vote in new york city. i do want to point out here leaning against this lamp post as an african-american man in 1865 states plus new york allowed black men to vote and the reason i say plus new york is if you were a black man in new york you needed to own a considerable amount of property to be able to vote, but you can see here a very well-dressed assemblage of me
