today's lecture will be on abraham lincoln. many of you probably do not think about abraham lincoln in context of american indian or indigenous history. that is what we're going to talk about today. after all, abraham lincoln had a lot on his plate. when he was president. the civil war. and that dominated most of his attention. but underneath the surface of the civil war, lay some important events involving american indians. events that might make abraham lincoln more of a problematic figure than he ordinarily is. so let's consider some u.s. events in american indian affairs that happened during his presidency. it was during his presidency that the so-called great sioux uprising or what we might call the dakota war of 1862 occurred. a conflict in which the state of minnesota was drenched in blood, as impoverished and hungry dakota waged war on settlers, then faced the wrath of whites, who hunted down susspected culprits, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death 303 men. lincoln commuted the sentence of most of these individuals

abraham lincoln thought otherwise. upon receiving news of the upcoming executions, lincoln requested the transcript of the trials. he and his lawyers looked through these transcripts and he found that many of these men were sentenced on the flimsiest of evidence. and he pardoned or dismissed the executions of all but 39. but still, 39 were slated to die. the execution date was set for december 6. one more was pardoned and 38 were hung, marking the largest mass execution in us history. now this marker is no longer there in minnesota to mark this event. you listen to a podcast you folks at home cannot see this but it says the little war on the prairie. it is the american life podcast -- broadcast on november 23 of 2012. can someone think about why minnesotans forgot about this? thingse of the shopping for the people involved. they didn't even know this happened. why? >> opted out of history. [indiscernible] prof. kelton: ok. logan makes a good point. minnesota is still filling the sellers. officials want people to come. y

abraham lincoln gave him a not a graph copy of that book. that helped introduce them -- him to the world. there's another piece in our collection that, -- this was a campaign i auger fee about abraham lincoln for 60 campaign. there are a number of mr. lincoln's speeches throughout this book and it contains a narrative of abraham lincoln's life. abraham lincoln got his hands on a copy of this biography of his life. he noticed there were inaccuracies. he went through and annotated it himself in pencil. on page 41 he circles and puts in asterisk next to the final paragraph. the final paragraph read, it is supposed it was at new salem lincoln, a clerk, first saw stephen a. douglas and probably the acquaintance was renewed during lincoln's proprietorship of the store he bought in the same place. circles this and writes an invitation -- annotation. wrong. wholly i first saw him in 1834, never at new salem. he is setting the record straight. he remembered the month and year he saw his political opponent way back in 1834 for the first time. througho

the soldier vote goes to abraham lincoln. he wins in a landslide. they were going to sue for peace, his opponents, they lose in a landslide. the fighting is still going on. there's a terrible siege happening at this time. in the meantime you will have john bell hood, who just lost atlanta, he's going to strike out and try to get into the union interior, and then maybe even join robert e. lee. an ambitious plan that had a chance of working except he got slowed up here for a while and lost an opportunity at spring hill, they will fight a terrible battle where his army is bloodied against the union host. the confederates eventually push back the union, resulting in the battle of nashville. no one can figure out what hood was trying to a come push by being there. he's eventually outnumbered and it will be a disaster for his army, basically destroyed at that point in december of 1864. by that time william tecumseh sherman had left atlanta and was marching to the sea. you have heard about that, but you may not have heard where they ended up, fort mcallist

abraham lincoln. i love reading the lincoln books i can get my hands on but what's good about this is that sidney blumenthal has been a political journalist and reporter as well as a political actor and speechwriter with the clintons. but he looks at lincoln in enormously sympathetic portrait but he looks at him as a politician. and how he came to form his political values and attitudes but also his political habits. he was in enormously political person who always thought about the next elections and the next moves and had a real chest like sensibility about how to approach the political system. at the foundation of it we are really strongly held moral convictions blumenthal tells the story about lincoln telling people, i was a slave. how his father rented them out as an indentured servant to do work on other people's farms in the backwoods country of kentucky. then the money was taken away from him and his father pocketed it. he had an instinctive hatred of slavery, that meant to essentially pilfer s

stephen a douglas and abraham lincoln were in locked in a rivalry since the 1830s. douglas shot like a star into the firmament, early on. rows and rows and rows. and lincoln said of the little giant, i want between his legs as though he's a colossus. and yet, incorporated and law partner, william london said lincoln's ambition was like a little engine that nuno sees. nuno stopped. we are dealing with two extraordinarily ambitious people. lincoln was envious of douglas. douglas ran for president for the nomination of his party. the democratic party in 1852, in his late 30s. and lincoln at that time, was already obscure. he finished his one term in congress. he had no prospects. he would stare for long periods of time into space. he felt defeated. he said, what is there to do and what is to be done? how can one's life have any meaning? he solves his wife - - he saw his life's meaning in terms of service. so his private ambition was linked to a public ambition. >> and became more and more so over time as the crisis group. the ordinary word people use is evil. they say l

he's worried that the british will come and capture him and hang him as they would have done, abraham lincolnwas also in combat, everyone here had been in washington, d.c.? veterans can clap. during the battle of fort stevens, lincoln stood up and -- stood up and subjected to himself to the possibility that he might get killed. >> so when you do your work, you researching it, do you research and write, research and write? >> pretty much do the research before but what i really love to look for is documents and other source that is will tell you things that you have never seen before, i mean, the johnson tapes, again, are one great example of that because if we did not have johnson tapes we did not know how pessimistic the progress of the vietnam war, we also would have known how bad language was, i think -- >> in the johnson tapes, i have listened to a lot, not every one, he was thought to be in some cases foul mouth, i never actually heard a lot of curse words on those tapes. >> i was expecting it to be a lot worse, actually, and what it was, i think, our definition of cursing in 1950's are

it is an important character in this story, abraham lincoln. honest abe was the image of political campaign creator. he preferred to be called mr. lincoln. he was one of the least experienced men in presidency but he was in the dark arts of trade. during the military service in 1832 black hawk war, he spent several weeks in the independent spy company. he often wrote newspaper columns under aliases. he secretly brought a german newspaper so the voting block and during the race for presidency, he was a careful reader and evaluator in political intelligence. general scott into daily intelligence reports, he had three grantors all over the country sent revelation on the rubble. he prodded his commanders to accept new technologies. he had no qualms about launching risky operations into the south. he found propaganda a useful tool to undermine the border state to join the confederacy and keep the ones that remain under his control. they allowed the arbitrary and shut newspapers down. clearly, this was our president who knew how to keep a secret and k

one of the things that became really evident to me, that really struck me, is how popular abraham lincoln is in the 1940's. lincoln sees ebbs and flows of popularity. he starts to become really popular again in the 1930's, and he becomes incredibly popular in popular discourse in the 1940's, during the second world war. and you will see lincoln and the gettysburg address being used, maligned, for all sorts of propaganda or patriotic purposes. here's the propaganda u.s. war department encouraging men to enlist with the line of the gettysburg address, "we shall highly resolve that these men shall not have died in vain." gary wills writes a great book on lincoln and the gettysburg address. his speech is the shortest. it's 272 words, it's over in two minutes. but wills argues in his book on lincoln and the gettysburg address is that what makes lincoln's gettysburg address so phenomenal is that it's timeless. that subsequent generations of americans can read the gettysburg address and breathe whatever life they need to into it. so it's not surprising in the 1940's when millions of people are l

he is one of america's great political giants, but how did abraham lincoln go from illinois politician to the greatpa emanr? the journey involved more setbacks than you may think. the years from 1856 to 1860 were key, and they are the focus ofok the new "all the powers of earth." it follows mr. lincoln out of the prairie into the presidency. it outlines his dramatic time on the campaign trail to eventually becoming the commander-in-chief and signing the emancipation proclamation. time, i spoke to author sidney blumenthal. this is such a huge commitment and you have bn working on it for years. what was it about lincoln that e pealed to you? a lot of books hen written. sidney: it is said that there is nothing new to be said about lincoln.e i beli that there s, and that was his political life.ok i very deep dive and i'm still diving into a very granular look at lincoln's political life, which gets you to his steel spine and thek bedr his principles as well. jane: has your perception of lincoln changed as a result of this? sidney: my perception of lincoln constantly changes t more time i s

abraham lincoln in his gettysburg address laid out a powerful vision for our country.inding us that our nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. [applause] and he reminded us that those who sacrifice all on that battlefield are best honored by ensuring that our nation has a new birth of freedom with the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. wise words spoken by a wise man, but that is not what we have today. instead what we have is a government of, by, and for the rich and powerful. we the people get left behind. you deserve a president that will put your interests ahead of the rich and powerful, ahead of self-serving politicians, head of the few who are holding onto that power with all that they have. as your president, i will crackdown on big pharma and insurance companies who are exploiting the sick and putting their profits ahead of the health and well-being of the american people. [applause] as your president, i will work to pass medicare for all who want it so every single american can

as the clouds of four start with the election of abraham lincoln, the secession of states, then war breaks out in april 1861, following the confederate bombardment of fort sumter. judge watts goes to a political rally in carlisle and is in favor of the compromises that are trying to hold the union together, perhaps allowing the south to keep slavery. he is the most vocal person immediate in once abolition and immediate war against the south. sees theyland valley will become a critical part of the war effort. this is a quick snapshot, a small, regional railroad. they don't have a lot of hardware and equipment, 12 cars,tives, four baggage 79 freight cars. this is a one track railroad through the heart of the cumberland valley. for those in the audience, the cumberland valley is the name applied to the shenandoah valley in southern pennsylvania. the cumberland valley is very important, and this railroad moves a lot of freight, particularly iron ore, timber, into harrisburg for distribution around the country. somerailroad has interesting pieces of rolling stock, one of which is the pioneer, o

. >> madam speaker, abraham lincoln was a subscriber to "the atlantic." ronald reagan was a subscriber. barack obama is a subscriber. and we're very pleased that you are also. >> i'm probably a subscriber longer than any of them. since high school. but let me just say, since you mentioned lincoln and people ask me all the time, how are you ever going to persuade the president of anything. as i leave, i'll quote abraham lincoln. public sentiment is everything. with it, you can accomplish almost anything. without it, practically nothing. and so in order for public sentiment to weigh in, the public has to know. so i thank our friends in the press for the role they play in letting the public know how public policy affects their lives. so here i have quoted two republican presidents. >> thank you, speaker pelosi. [ cheers and applause ] >> we are waiting now for democratic presidential candidate joe biden to give a statement on that whistleblower complaint about the president. the complaint stemming from a phone conversation that president trump had earlier th

he tweeted it from the abraham lincoln room in the john f.ennedy library. >> it makes you question whether it's actually bad. it's how kanye can walk around in rags, he does it so confidently, i guess that's a style now? >> i would like you to do us a favor. >> our contestant said the secret word, the phrase that pays. the ukrainian in exchange for political favors. tell the president what he's won? it's intracted impeachment inquiries. >> it's the word though that stood out. >>> the acting spy chief acting on critical testimony. and overnight, new details about the whistleblower complaint against the president. that complaint could go public today. so what does the dishwasher do? cascade platinum does the work for you, prewashing and removing stuck-on foods, the first time. wow, that's clean! cascade platinum. could another come aroundot, the corner. or could it play out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98% of patients

abraham lincoln. e reading the lincoln books i can get my hands on but what's good about this is that sidney blumenthal has been a political journalist and reporter as well as a political actor and speechwriter with the clintons. but he looks at lincoln in enormously sympathetic

>> first i am reading this multivolume set by sidney blumenthal, the political rights of abraham lincoln. i love reading all the lincoln books that i can get my hands on. what is great about this is a political journalist as well as political actor and speechwriter. he looks at lincoln in an enormously sympathetic portrait but looks at him as a politician and how he came to form his political values and attitudes and political habits. an enormously political person who had a real sensibility how to approach the political system. at the foundation of it were strongly held moral convictions and blumenthal told the story about lincoln telling people i was a slave and he talks about how his father rented him out as an indentured servant to do work on other people's farms, the backwoods country of kentucky and the money was taken away from him and his father pocketed it and he had an instinctive hatred of slavery and what that meant to pilfer someone else's labor from them and steal their labor from them. unlike a lot of other white politicians, whether they were anti-slavery abolitionists or

the second strongest emotion for abraham lincoln is happiness. socially into different forms is the strongest correlation to success in the white house. what happiness allows you to do essentially as we know now from psychology is that happier people tend to get to superior solutions more quickly. they are more open to brain storming. so prior to my book there is one other book that matters to me and it was to psychologist and interviewed interviewed a great number of historians they went into him and said if they knew the president or presidents while. they ask him to raise the big factor. these are personality traits. openness to experience. openness to new ideas. lincoln did very well on openness. donald trump does terribly on openness. so the other emotion beside sadness is happiness. there was a lot of things that did not go while in his life are were not going while in the country. lincoln also brought some levity to it. some self depreciating humor. those who advocate for it. and then you can decide if you want to continue to advocate for

the biggest intelligence failure came at the assassination of abraham lincoln. guarding the president of the united states was not specifically baker's responsibility uncovering threats certainly was. there was no hassle agent and washington that he or his men did not know about. but that was clearly not the case. they frequently gathered with the gang. just nine blocks from baker's headquarters. they redeemed themselves when his detectives accompanied captured and killed booth. with the other men on the raid. arse third spy there. when he took command of the army. he summoned him to the headquarters. the new york officer was fluent in french. sharp did it quickly. it would create a bland cover name. he was well versed in the military and what kind of information the army needed. he knew nothing about spine and he took this job. in some of the correspondence he began to use the code name. in many of the informants never knew that they were working for the espionage agency. many of them infiltrated into an enemy territory carrying thousands of dollars of confeder

i was thinking about connected to abraham lincoln and lincoln many times made unpopular choices underthe idea of compromising. frederick douglass would have liked lincoln to be a little bit more forceful after the war but he wasn't. do you think it was the fact they had so many things to think about and willing to compromise with the other states, for example, get the constitution ratified? >> sure. lincoln was a politician but of very high order, when you think about it. he was a democratic politician with a small d. he had to deal with realities. unlike many of our present day politics he transcended that reality in his rhetoric and his language was so extraordinary. he was a man of prudence, the principle, i think, principle quality needed by politics. he was willing to compromise. he said on the eve of the civil war, i'm not out to destroy slavery in the existing states. i and the republican party will guarantee the existing slavery in the existing states. it's the west we won't guarantee. that became the crucial issue. lincoln felt if slavery couldn't expand it would die. by taki

he showed it to his friends and it got published somewhere -- abraham lincoln complimenting my performance. lincoln actually became a controversy because some in the press criticized him for being so -- what they considered frivolous, during a time of war. paintedcarpenter lincolns portrayed in the white house, and he wrote a book about that. and he talked about how it one point, he was painting lincoln who was sitting there, and lincoln asked if he could rise. he rose and he delivered the opening soliloquy from richard iii, "now is the winter of our discontent," from memory. carpenter said he did it as well as any professional actor. lincoln and shakespeare is fascinating. the soldiers' home is one of the best places to get a sense of that. thank you. questions? yes. >> cordelia, who you mentioned as a positive figure, are there any other women, roles in shespeare's plays that might inform th political leadership? mr. evans: that is a great and troubling question. shakespeare writes mostly about men. which is interesting, because, of course, queen elizabeth was the principal ruler at the

but i think one of the few things we can all agree on quite easily is that abraham lincoln had it right when he said that in 1865 that slavery was somehow the cause of the civil war, that but it is that somehow that's caused all the problems. that is a difficult question to answer. and so, you think about slavery and its opposition to free labor as being the foundation of the whole conflict. he know that ends in war. because it did. the question is what lays between slavery and the outbreak of war. that is how slavery caused the war, why slavery caused the war. it is the question i tend to focus most of my energies on. and when i think about what lies between the foundation of slavery in the outbreak of war, what i tend to come back to is very often is people, and the idea that it's people who took that basic difference between slavery and free labor and turned it into war. and all kinds of people were involved, of course. radical secessionists who succeeded in dragging their states out of the union. s who wereitionist determined to make the union live up to its ideals. even a woman who

but abraham lincoln took it upon himself. and if you see the beautiful, unusual shape of our state, there is a very few straight lines. especially when you see this eastern panhandle that's only an hour, hour and ten-minute drive from here, the reason for that, you have harper's ferry, john brown's raid, 1859, kicked off the civil war, and then you have the railroads, the confluence of the shenandoah and the potomac. it's just unbelievable what all. he knew he needed that arsenal. the folklore is this. i don't know if it's true or not, but it's a good story. the three counties we have over there is morgan, berkeley, and jefferson. it was said that after the war they were supposed to have a referendum and vote to see if it would go back to the state of virginia. well, i'm understanding that ulysses s. grant was then the president, and it's said that he stationed quite a few troops that had voting rights, and the rest is history because it is still west virginia. so there are some really good anecdotes about that. william becam

as abraham lincoln reminded us. we cannot escape history. i would argue that we should not want to , or try to. by our heritage and hope we as americans are charged with the sacred duty, to fulfill the injunction that too much is given as much expected. as americans we have been given much, and those gifts are rooted here at jamestown. gifts of liberty, opportunity, self government , and what lincoln said was of fair chance to lead lives of prosperity. reflecting on who we have been , where we are, and where we might go. to those who come before is to be armed. if the men and women of the past with all their flaws, limitations, could press on through ignorance raises them, sexism, greed, we to take another step towards a more perfect union. history has the capacity to bring us together. our story is ultimately one of obstacles overcome, crisis resolved, and freedom expanded. the story of jamestown and america is about the best of us and the worst of us there was human enslavement, possession of the native inhabitants, some were essential to

in 1863, abraham lincoln came up with identification of a confederate center of gravity, they understood what it was implicitly. the major kokomo power of which yet is broken will debilitate an enemy in war. in the center of gravity that lincoln identified and made the generals understand was a confederate armies themselves needed to be destroyed and after 1863, this will be his primary message to the field commanders, destroyed the field armies, do whatever is necessary to bring them down, as a corollary to this we see the hard war against the south and if you hit the home front you also be hitting the armies which are supplied by the homefront. when we turn to national strategic means, these next two slides given idea of the disparity between the north and the south in the civil war and this is the beginning as the war progresses it just gets worse for the confederacy. indicating to robert ely that the clock is ticking and he must act quickly and decisively because the longer the war goes the worst it is going to be as far as means for the south, he did realize if they could prevent li
