brian: what was the abraham lincoln brigade? and why was it named after abraham lincoln? adam: it was, it came to be the name, it was not an official name at the time. n later years it has been used as the name to cover all of these americans who volunteered to fight in spain. at the time, the first all-american unit was called the abraham lincoln battalion and there was a george washington battalion and then he two of them merged and they became the lincoln-washington battalion. it had the name of some canadian patriots but actually it was all american patriots. but the veterans of all of these things began calling themselves veterans of the abraham lincoln brigade because it was simpler and that is how people have referred to them ever since. so, when we speak of these americans who went to spain, including del berg who is the last known survivor of the group, they were the last articipants. brian: when did you start your research on this book? adam: i started being interested in the subject many years ago. one of my first jobs was as a daily newspaper reporter at the "

they basically commit political suicide when this unknown fella named abraham lincoln rises to power. instead of saying basically the political wind is still at our back, the tide is still with us, we can outlast this guy, we are going to wait him out. we will say no to everything he proposes and he will be a failed reformist president, this talk, -- tall, skinny constitutional guy from illinois. they are not smart enough to do that. they do not pull a mitch mcconnell. they walk away from a game they are winning. this was not a smart strategy. this unilateral secession was unconstitutional. it will mean lincoln achieves a certain greatness in resisting this and he wins and he wins reelection and it was a very close thing and in effect hands off power to his wing man, ulysses s. grant to rid we skip over andrew johnson. that party is the dominant political party for a long time because the democrats committed political suicide with slavery, secession, and not trying to accept the verdict of the civil war. they prevail all the way until another cataclysmic event, the great depression. t

my father, rabbi abraham joshua heschel, take to this country as a refugee from nazi europe.her and three of his sisters and his extended family were all murdered. my father had been a student in berlin in the 1930s when some german protestant theologians were proclaiming that the old testament was a jewish book that should be thrown out of the christian bible. and that jesus was not a jew but an aryan. caught up in their racist frenzy, they did not even recognize their own defamation of christianity. imagine then what my father felt when he came to this country and met nebor, martin luther king, father slessburg, christian theologians who revered the god of abraham. moses, exodist from egypt, the hebrew bible was at the heart of the civil rights movement and that was a bomb of gilead that helped restore our wounded souls after the war. our hebrew prophets, what were their concerns? not praise for kings, flattery of the powerful. no. they taught that god's greatest concern is with widows and orphans. with honesty in the marketplace. with the impoverished and neglected of soci

you haven't heard from abraham lincoln? told her it was not a good idea? >> i have no idea. we're old friends. when you're friend of somebody who is in the middle of politics, you get caught up in politics, too. >> let's talk about your book, a self-made man, the political life of abraham lincoln. what more is there to say about abraham lincoln? >> well, there is a lot to say about abraham lincoln. you know, we're involved in a campaign about the making of a president. and my book is about the making of america's greatest political genius, and somebody who was lucky to have a log cabin and transformed himself into the man who was a political, skillful, professional politician. and through those skills, ended sla slavery and saved the united states. that's a lesson for this campaign. there is something to say about that. there is not a difference between politics and principle. and that if you want to achieve your principles, it's -- you need to be politically skillful to be able to do it. and there is another point, looking

i didn't really go the abraham lincoln vampire hunter routeng because generally speaking, i tried to have the real people in the booke do things that they really did. so my criterion, basically, for whether i used someone's real name or not was are they doing what i can verify they actually did. i get away from that sometimes, but generally i tried to have real people doing real things and fictional people doing fictional things. but what i was trying to do with all of that was use the fictional elements to highlight the connections that i found between the historical materialr and to bring out the themes that i thought were important there. and i did think that thees resources of fiction allowed me to write something that was more illuminating, and i hope in some ways more truthful. and anthony also about reactions they've gotten. david, i know you got some reaction from nine circuit judges to your book. >> yeah. so it's interesting. i have to confess, the book is a bit of -- there are some characters in the book who we have the standard disclaimer in there, but whatever. there are

abraham lincoln should not be relegated to a brass plate that people pass by.nd i hope that the house of representatives heeding along with the senate the remarks and the eloquence of mr. mccullough will take that into consideration for future generations so that this eloquent room might be once again restored to its grandeur. for 30 years, the capitol historical society has been passing out fellowships. those have led to the research and dedication and history that is so rich here in this great building and in this great country of ours. david, this evening, you made it possible in honoring you through the donations of so many people for us to expand upon that. it's my great honor, as is a tradition in the house of representatives, when we're honoring people, we fly a flag over the united states capitol to commemorate their great achievement and accomplishment. you are, for history, and especially for american history, what walter cronkite was for so many americans in television. you are the most trusted voice in america. it is such an honor to be with you on

where would he rank, as well as his counterpart, abraham lincoln. you know, the fact that you could even vote for him in 12 or 13 states says a lot about how hated he was at that time. >> well, again, that's an interesting comment about how hated lincoln was at the time. his election was, in many ways, the trigger. i think it gets to the point we're all making about the difference in historical judgment and how one is seen at the time by the citizenry of one's own time. lots of presidents are hated. franklin roosevelt, the whole -- all those people who would refer to him as "that man." but then over time, you know, republicans kind of let go of that. fdr is one of newt gingrich's favorite presidents. they find ways to take what they admire, so lincoln now is kind of on all sides. there are probably a few neoconfederate lincoln haters out there, but that has mostly become an irrelevant point of view. fdr hating mostly irrelevant. even jfk is embraced by the right for his tax cuts and they try to claim his mantel, too. so i think one thing that's a ma

one thing i learned about the book, the thing that most impressed me was abraham lincoln.fe, bu i hadthe standard regard for him. i never made a study of his life, but once i goti got to dealing with booth anti- extremist politics around his views, i began to see more fully the problems he had to deal with. sometimes i think we can isolate him the 21st century. that wasn't the choice.? in 1860 was lincoln are stephen douglas.s peop sixty-four is lincoln or general mcclellan. those are the choices people had manometer lincoln imperfect. so i would have to say that my respect for lincoln went way up and working on the person who murdered him.ave be >> that is interesting. the fact that you can write about subjects have been written about before anyways i just her lecture by charles last week in new york about lincoln and his friend, joshua speed. an incredibly intimate male friend and i thought, this is incredible you can hearabout. new perspectives on the subject that has been so written about. it was exciting. so i will ask one more question, and then we will open to the floor. the qu

as well as his counterpart, abraham lincoln. he is held in such high regard but he was certainly the most divisive president in american history. it might be sophistry to throw him in, but the fact that you could not even vote for him and 12 to 13 states says a lot about how hated he was at that time. >> that is an interesting comment about how hated lincoln was at the time. his election was in many ways, the trigger. of what was going to happen anyway with the civil war. it gets back to the point about what we are all making, the difference between historical judgment and how one is seen at the time by the citizenry of one's own time. a lot of presidents are hated. franklin roosevelt. all of the of people who would refer to have as "that man." they let that go. fdr is one of newt gingrich's favorite presidents. there are probably a few confederate, lincoln-haters. that has mostly become an irrelevant point of view. fdr hating is irrelevant. jfk is claimed by the right for his tax cuts. one thing that is the marker of greatness

it was still a large scale but not within the abraham lincoln gravitas that he ended up getting it he could have made a case and a pretty convincing one at that point. does the diet of merit that and does it turned out the public thought he could and it's fascinating a lot of that is because the kennedy family did a really good job of framing his presidency and legacy in a way that hit home personally not just that he was a political figure or anything like that but he was one of the great people of history. it's the case that most don't make which is that his ideas live on in the eternal flame. no other president has an eternal flame they look backwards. it struck me how much went into that that's fascinating because it seems when you think about it now you think it's a natural thing. but it felt so natural and i think that was the genius of everything that went into that and has gone into the memorializing that we have done that it was done deliberately deliberately put it all feels so natural. not everybody can say that he. are you familiar with the story of the rivalry of the high

now barack obama, okay, taylor swift, beyonce, selena gomez and then followed by abraham lincoln.celebrity just vastly more important to today's teen? >> you touched one of my favorite stats. who knew that abraham lincoln had . >>> i think it's easy for adults to say look at all the pop stars that teenagers look up. to i think it's more nuance than that. when i interviewed a lot of teens about the data we got from our survey, some said it's because what she represents for women and feminism in the music industry. i admire beyonce because of how she's inserting race into the national conversation. so we can't discount the fact that teens in 2016 are growing up online in a world where pop culture is everywhere. also, in '66 to ask teens what famous people do you look up to, it -- the concept of fame had a very different definition then than it does in 2016. >> okay.abigail, it's a great report. one should look at it. one for the ages. thanks for your time. >> issuing professional licenses to undocumented immigrants, it's happening in california. we'll take a look at the program's su

abraham lincoln created the republican party and it was one of these moments where one party dies and new one is born and he left the whigs and created the republican party. is that what we're seeing right now? >> we're seeing it go the way of the whigs, over the same issues. race and immigration. this is not slavery, but donald trump bears the original sin of bertherism. and his anti-immigration nativism is exactly what broke about the old whig party which led to the creation of the no-nothings which then assumed the identity of the political party who called themselves the americans, as in make america great again. >> that is right, they sort of spun off of each other and later became extinct. let me ask you something else about the e-mails. when you e-mailed with secretary clinton at the time and were e-mailing her on that address was there any part of you that noted it, that thought to yourself that this was not the dot gov address, did you give it any thought? >> no, i did not give it any thought. >> this was where you e-mailed the secretary. >> that is where i e-mailed her. >> y
