he served as a butler.but very soon after, he got positions for several of his brothers and sisters. including john and samuel. to come to the white house to work at is butlers, part-time pantry men, potentially women. you can see on the screen here, top right is john ficklin. he's standing there with social secretary lucy winchester and pat nixon. on the bottom left you can see samuel ficklin. we also know that charles and john ficklin rose to the coveted position of major the, a very important position for state dinners at major events at the white house. the ficklin even have a more recent connection to the white house, that is the fellow easy on the bottom right of this photograph. that is john rory ficklin, son of john ficklin, who is right above him on the screen. he took a role in the west wing of the white house, not in the residence staff but in the executive, president staff, during the obama administration. he served as special assistant to the president. i think this story sort of shows that poi

lee daniels chose to focus on the butler, on the black man. it wasn't a white savior movie, which hollywood has a tendency to make those kind of movies. so he think if you get a sensitive movie director like lee daniels, and then you will see that they will focus on who the story is meant to be focused on. it was a story that came out, a movie that came out in 1988. and mississippi burning about the three civil rights workers who were killed in mississippi. and the stars of that movie were two white men played by willem defoe and they supposedly cracked the case. which is not true. there were no white fbi agents in mississippi in 1964, but the movie made you think that there were. it did not focus on the brave, the very brave black souls in mississippi who had been beaten, murdered, and who had been marching for years. and so, the lens, the lens and the soul of the filmmaker matters. you had ava duvernay who made "selma", and she was a great filmmaker and she's going to do a lot of great things during her career. and i tell that story of selma

so ben butler is important, to. this leads to where i can dismiss these subsidiary campaigns and say they are not going to do anything much. because both guys performed at the level we have come to expect from political generals. both subsidiary campaigns were complete failures. butler didn't take richmond, didn't take petersburg. he got his command bottled up in the peninsula between the james and appomattox river's. that was that. the confederates were able to contain him with minimal force, and detach the rest of their troops to leave. 's eagle also failed in the shenandoah valley. so these two subsidiary campaigns that had the potential to help, they are out. so now it's all going to be on grand, and the army at the potomac which he has not commanded but he supervised, more on that in a moment. let's talk about the command, because this is a problem that grant has. what would really work best, we can say this with the benefit of hindsight, is that it would work best if there were two of ulysses grant. one of the
