and among those who repeated them was abraham lincoln who read the nasby letters as they appeared in periodicals and books from 1861 onward. president lincoln enjoyed locke's writing so much, he often shared them with others. he committed to memory several of the nasby sketches which he recited spontaneously at key moments. when he didn't have one stored in his brain, he pulled out a nasby book from either his pocket or his drawer and read from it. one evening, on a typical evening, a group of politicians appeared in the president's office with a pile of official papers for him to consider. he looked at the documents wearily and pushed them aside. he pulled down from his drawer a nasby pamphlet and read one of the sketches aloud. he periodically broke out into an explosive laugh which a witness compared to the nay of a wild horse on his native prairie. lincoln enjoyed reading the pamphlet so much that he joked at the end of the reading, i'm going to write to petroleum nasby to come down here, and i intend to tell him, if he will communicate his talent to me, i will swap places with hi

ceo expeek it is speak, it is my people, it is my people. 10 years after the assassination of abraham lincolnal today, with an african-american breaking free of his chains and lincoln towering over, they wanted to get to that one, but time to dedicate that statute president grant, he said no, it is douglas who will give the keynote address, he is dedicated this statue. can you imagine. don't look at me, i'll sit here, he is a better speaker. they work well together. vitally let him talk how about that. trey: a really good public speaker who knows maybe president one day. a clip from you, interview with tim scott. >> what are your thoughts. >> a lot of memories come flooding back. a lot of love in the house, i remember how much you had inside the house. even though what you had around the house of bare. you think about house with no central a.c., one arc unit in one room. trey: how did you react. i knew that. but most people do not. how did you react seeing the way that tim scott grew up? >> couple things, you talked about being 7 years old, his mom and dad sitting him and his brother down say

during the 1864 presidential election, reached new proportions with lincoln's opponents calling him abrahamicana the first. and i don't know if you can see it very clearly. there's lincoln doing a tightrope walk with the constitution as his balance beam and an african-american man stride on his head. this is from 1860, the early election, the cartoons. it got worse in 1864 after emancipation became the official policy of the union army. this is the time when of course lincoln and the republican party were accused of racial intermixture. this racist word was coined during these elections in a notorious anonymous family threat and became part of the american political lexicon by white supremacists in the south throughout the jim crow era. even as a majority in the north and african-americans warned that he was assassinated on good friday, many of lincoln's opponents and confederates openly celebrated. in fact, if you did a google map search for towns, schools, buildings, and streets named after lincoln, you will find still that an overwhelming majority of them are north of the mason dixon lin

abraham lincoln.ency but by the time he arrived at the white house seven states had left the union. for lincoln succession was not an option. the war was on. >> he took over a divided country did. he actually know what he was getting into. >> i don't think so but lincoln knew the law and he knew the constitution backwards and forwards. and so he realized after fort sumter happened and a lot of the country wasn't accepting him as president. correctly diagnosed union, union, union keep the country together. and then the abolition of slavery two grand causes of the civil war. brian: as for frederick douglass lincoln's win was all about hope. when he didn't immediately free the slaves, frederick seized. >> the whole story is that progress takes patience. douglas should have been, rightfully so, angry at the lack of progress, pushing lincoln to move as quickly as possible. at the same time, you have to admire and respect lincoln's patience. brian: the white house look as lot like it did in 1860 when lincol

if you decide to get yourself in abraham lincoln signature, this is one of the most common abraham lincoln signatures that exist. it's an endorsement so most of the time cut off of the letter and the rest of the letter stornoway. there is very popular, i didn't do it. [laughter] people did a long time ago when they were collecting lincoln. i can probably wrote more than any other time but this man take the oath of december 8, 1863 and be discharged. in this case, he signed december 31, 1864. in this case, for those of you want to see it, i'll put a link in the comments so you can see it. it signed by lincoln and andrew johnson we were talking how many times were those men in the same room together but maybe three bucks this is a very interesting link but what it tells us, but this man taken out discharged. the law lincoln is talking about and how does it affect the confederates at the end of the work bucks. >> december 163, we can and should what became known as the plan that would part of any confederate to voluntarily surrender or put on their weapon and quit fighting the union. johnson,

stanton cannot say anything to pope until abraham lincoln gets back to washington d.c. abraham lincoln left for west point june 23, he kept his departure a secret from those in washington d.c., a secret from the press heading up to west point to meet with general winfield to ask my views in writing to further dispositions to be made, lincoln is traveling to west point to meet with winfield scott asked scott if pope is capable of commanding several armies in the eastern theater of the war. sounds like we can place his confidence in pope and perhaps popes record issue has something to back it up with. although lincoln does not specifically mention pope in this conversation in the suitability whether or not he can take this command and account written down about this, it was certainly discussed, lincoln on his return back had a train stop in new jersey and he shares with the press then why he had gone to west point and he alludes to the situation that it's grueling back in washington d.c. we can set when the birds and animals are looked at through a fall, they are seen as

i will do a pitch for abraham lincoln bookshop. if you want to collect stuff, what john now did is a perfect example what can happen if you -- with this obsession of yours. it is valuable. it's not just you. it's a really valuable thing. anyway, it's a great job. congratulations. >> thank you. >> i know you love doing it and you have all this great stuff to work with. for the folks at home, caroline is also the author of "remembering the civil war, reunion and the limits of reconciliation." and "burying the dead, but not the past, the lost cause." when i see that book, professor, of course, i think of having karen cox on the show a few months ago. there's the late robert e. lee statue in richmond. of course, she had done dixie's daughter. this topic of women -- southern women in the post-war is crucial to understanding the civil war, i think. >> right. the work that karen does dovetails nicely together. the lee monument or former lee monument that the daughters of the confederacy rallied around, it was something i wrote about in th

and abraham lincoln? southerners did make a lot of fun of lincoln for being a person who chopped wood. it did to the northern masses. i would say it's far more policy. in here i'll take the opportunity to address one of the questions about race. was lincoln hated because the criticism of them was racist? : : : so i think that connection between racism resettlement and policies takes us to the lincoln administration and reconstruction and gets redirected in the 20 century when it comes to people like johnson and nixon. >> i would say i'm going to offer a third option. jefferson not necessary policy that politics put himself forward as embodying his sword of small d democratic politics so he was needed in a sense for that combo. >> interesting. as is always the case there's so much more to say which is why we keep saying it. i want to thank our panelists for joining this roundtable. obviously we would much rather have done these things in person and we look forward to doing them again in person but it was a

and also another point following along that narrative was abraham lincoln was a racist -- >> and, again -- >> -- statue was actually taken down in new york city by the city council chambers. >> you said has been an unbroken line. >> there's more to our history than race. >> there's more to our history than race, but you cannot understand our history without understanding the unbroken line. look, one of the major critics of the 1619 project going back to not just sean is james oakes at the university of -- >> another great historian. >> do you know what the name of his first book is? >> book? >> his first book. >> i don't. >> his first book is called "the ruling race." okay? so it's not as if he doesn't think that this has not been some kind of continuous thread in american history. and this difference between saying that white supremacy has been the essence of american history as opposed to white supremacy has been on the present, has been continuous -- omnipresent and has continued to influence our institutions and our culture. so these are are two different kinds of things. lincoln wa

common abraham lincoln signatures that exists. it is an endorsement. most of the time, it's cut off of these letters and the rest of the letters are thrown away. it was very popular. i didn't do it. [laughs] people didn't a long time ago and they were collecting lincoln. it is this -- lincoln probably wrote every other time, let this man take the oath of december 8th, 1863, and be discharged. a blinken, in this case, he signed it in 1864. in this case, just for those of you who want to come and see it later, i will put a link in the commons so you can see it. it is signed by a blinken and andrew johnson, and carrie and i were just talking, how many time where those men in the same room together? right? maybe three? so, this is a very interesting linkage. it tells us that it refers to let this man take the oath, december 4th 1863 and let him be discharged. what is the law lincoln is charging it -- talking about, and how does that -- confederates? >> lincoln had what was known as the 10% plan. any confederate before the rank of colo

been an unbroken line of white supremacy to today, and another point along that narrative was abraham lincoln was a racist. thomas jefferson at statue was taken down in new york city. >> you had said has been unbroken. i think it would be hard to argue that it included an unbroken line, two different things. >> there's more to our history the race. >> there's more to our history than race but you cannot understand our history without understanding that unbroken line. one of the major critics of the 1619 project going back to not just sean is james oates. >> a great historian. >> the title of his first book is called the ruling race so it is not as if he doesn't think this has not been some kind of continuous thread in american history and the difference between saying white supremacy has been the essence of american history as opposed to white supremacy, and these are the two different kinds of things. that lincoln was a racist, this goes back to what historians do. >> in a civil manner. >> the most important book, in some ways, those highly visible book that i use lincoln was a racist was a

abraham lincoln is your liberator. martin lutherking spoke down at the lincoln memorial, he spoke of you. spoke of your dreams. and now you have the opportunity that less than 13,000 americans have ever had to serve in this body. but madam speaker, why at times do i feel the rhetoric that i hear from some almost dislike this country. don't want to tear down -- they want to tear down the founding fathers. want to rename the schools. no one ever said we were perfect. but we strive to be a more perfect union. i would hope those members would come to my office, see the paintings, see how far we've come. frederick douglass had every reason to hate this nation. born into slavery. sold from his parents. taught to read. but was beaten for it. gave bible studies to the other slaves. was beaten, escaped. became a free throw man. became an adviser and one of the best friends to abraham lincoln. he had as much to do about america bonding together, of healing, and driving, where everybody would be equal. so yes, we are a nation of

it was at this time he was in washington that tyler met president-elect abraham lincoln. he came away from lincoln very impressed. lincoln was quite unimpressed with john tyler he returned the favor. once virginia seceded from the union in 1861, tyler won election to the provisional kind congress and eventually sought election to the permanent congress, he won. this is the best example of how politics retains its hold on him. how he was addicted to politics. he died before he would take a seat in congress he died january of 1862. but he should have stayed out of it. i'm very critical of him for the decision to get back into politics. critical because it really tarnishes historical reputation beyond repair. he was starting to enjoy a little bit more of the statesmen like settlement the american people had for him. a lot of bad feelings that had developed on him being banished from the whigs ranks had seceded in historical memory a little bit. getting involved in the politics again , coming up of retirement and part of the confederate government ruined all of that. he renoun

for every line in-state ceremony abraham lincoln has used this which remains at the capitol, they preserve it and display it when the visitor center reopens, it's on display in the exhibition paid to. they have the laying in-state ceremony and they proceed november 11, 1921. they took her casket by horseback they take it over, they have the state funeral ceremony in the amphitheater recently completed. it presided over by harding and the interment is made on the other side of the amphitheater here, created tomb for the unknown older. you can see this is a small snapshot of the thousands upon thousands of americans who came to pay tribute. this one person representing so many more about the channel through which they could participate in public memory. congress' involvement in the tomb of the unknown soldier and how we pay tribute to those lost did not end with the first world war and interment of the first. in 1926, congress appropriated funds to authorized spending to increase improve the tomb of the unknown soldier and enhance the tomb of the unknown older by adding this march monument o

you j talk about abraham lincoln in you open the gambit with those superstars in many ways and you talkers and about 40 years they have lost three t professional checkers matches which is unimaginable and tim you talk about darryl huff this person who wrote how to rely and statistics. both of these play a role in this great machine that was supposed to be over predict things and it didn't work. maybe could say about one of your favorite stories and to me that's the interest point to deal with complexity. maybe it could be as hard as choosing your favorite child. the thing that you love about something that you want to share? >> i fell in love with the public health campaign florence nightingale was waging in the 18 50's and 1860s. she was most famous as a nurse that she was a pioneer of digitalization. she began a public health revolution by going into the details of the opposition she was facing from a medical establishment and the point she wants to make about the importance of hygiene but then realizing people are listening and i'm not getting my point across. i don't have enough inf

when abraham lincoln, he didn't vote for lincoln, but he was lincoln's friend, he wanted lincoln to move faster. when lincoln died and down at the park where they put the statue they wanted to remove, mary todd lincoln, she had a cane, you know what she did? she gave it to frederick douglass she gave it to frederick douglass. respect. you go down and see joseph rainey, the first black american ever elected to congress in 1870. charleston, south carolina. you know your history, that's where the civil war started. you know this day there's only one black american elected to congress and to the senate. tim scott from charleston, south carolina. he would tell me the story, his mother and father got divorced, recently he took people on a tour, the little house they lived in, only 700 square feet, had been torn down. he gets his faith from his grandmother and his mother if you ever met his mother, what and amazing lady. but every morning he made his brother and tim, his grandfather, to sit at that table and have breakfast. his grandfather had that newspaper in front of him he wanted those boys

this time while he was in washington for the peace conference thatt tyler met president-elect abraham lincoln. he came away from lincoln very unimpressed. lincoln was quite unimpressed with john tyler. he returned the favor. once virginia receded from the union in april of 1861, tyler won electionun to the provision confederate congress and eventually sought election to the permanent congress. he won. this is the best example of how politics retained its hold on him, how he was addicted to politics. now, he died before he could take his seat in the congress. hehe died on january 18th, 1862. but he should've stayed out of it. i'm very2. critical of him for this decision toi' get back int politics. critical because it really tarnished his historical reputation beyond repair. he was starting to enjoy a little bit more off the statesmanlike sentiment that the american people had m for him. a lot of the bad feelings that had developed over him being banished from thea wig ranks while he served as president had receded in historical memory a little bit. getting involved in politics again coming out

you had to weigh income of the pros and cons of douglass and abraham lincoln how they had a partnership comes to frederick douglass. if you look at lincoln, he had to go over leaps in bounds. i think that attracted me most of the story what it meant to america in once again the two most unlikely people imaginable rows up at the right time when america needed them most. no one would have bet on abraha lincoln. yelled at every time he went to read and write, one year of formal education. frederick douglass, he didn't know when he was born, he never met his parents he may be met his mom once or twice. he found a way to get the education. in the news he had a thirst for education. what does lincoln have? education. what did they have? plato's, socrates, cicero. for great people opened up thei mind and let them know they could accomplish anything great little by little they got notoriety. their education led them to success. when america needed them most they stepped up. frederick douglass, he we are a a time where 4 million african-americans are enslaved. three and 50,000 slaveholders, it w

for both of you, jordan you talk about that from abraham lincoln >> they were also present in so manythen if you talk about marion tinsley in about 40 years, has lost three professional, that is unimaginable) the rise of compus at that point and then you talk about this thing about darrell, this persons who wrote the statistics but then broke number seven is one of my favorite three talk about transparency in computers and how to get both os these play a role in these google trends come the great machine that will predict so many things but that did not work. maybe each of you can say a little bit about what are your favorite stories or something, to me that is the entrance point for normal human to jump into these complexity of these beautiful stories and maybe it could be as hard as choosing a favoriteg child, my fourth one s my favorite by far but some might have a harder time. is there something that you love about what you wrote and you would love to share in your own voice heard. >> i really fell in love withth the public health campaign, florence nightingale was raging in the 1

that we may never see in a person like abraham lincoln that the modern president and they have not achieved the level of greatness of people like lincoln had and we want to try to understand what that might be. and maybe the fault lies within the individuals who held office and with the recent terms in one thing that we know as americans love to rank things so i estimate that 67 percent of the content are listed thanks. so here are some interesting rankings that i recently came across in the hard work that i have been doing as a professor. the stupid people on twitter, four . zero and is better than version 2.0. if anything if your password is on that list, is already singing enough in the past 25 ranked by stupidity in a definitive ranking of every big brother season was the least and the 26th drake means and that one is actually kind of cool rated the definitive ranking of selfies posted on the internet and i look this one up and the messages do not take selfies of funerals, that is kind of the take away point there. americans also at that also breaking their presidents, and the most famo
