>> abraham lincoln and his federal thugs has invaded your soil.e standard of your state and country and expel the invaders from your land! >> huzzah! huzzah! >> supporters of the lost cause myth sometimes call the civil war the war of northern aggression. it's the idea that the war was started by the tyrannical abraham lincoln invading the southern states and trying to deprive them of their rights. this idea goes back to the beginning of the war, when southern leaders try to rally common soldiers, the vast majority of whom don't own slaves. >> huzzah! huzzah! >> by laying the blame on a north hell-bent on destroying the southern way of life, the rebel army now has a reason to take up arms. >> if the vast majority would have absolutely no shot at being able to actually afford slaves, what are all these guys fighting for? and the answer is -- they are fighting for a system, a slave system, built on racism that they want to defend as a culture, as a way of life. >> one of the key points in the lost cause myth is that the confederacy never has a chanc

there's a transcript, the only transcript that existhe abraham lincoln trial. really compelling muer trial. no one has written about it, no one has focused on it, and it has become a footnote to history. it was discovered in 1989. i said, "come on, you are exaggerati, something has got to be wrong here." it was all exactly right. we do have this amazing piece of history, this transcript of abraham lincoln's own words cross-examining witnesses, questioning witnesses.it s about 100 pages long. laura: you say that this trial actually propelled abraham lincoln to the presidency. how come? dan: this was nine months beforp he got thelican mamination. this was the lasr trial that he did. he had everything to lose by taking this trial. the community wanted ta conviction. he h a personal relationship with the victim. there werell sorts of reasons for him not to do this trial. but by doing thi he once again elevated his profile. and the success he had with a very hard case i think helped put him on the map again. the lincoln-douglas debates happened in 1858.he as a littl

abraham lincoln revered the rule of law. be confident -- you are a legal analyst -- that the rule of law is in good shape today? e dan:uld certainly recognize the laws today, not that different from what they were back then. i think he would be troubled by what we are seeing today. i think abraham lincoln had a great respect for the law, and i think we are seeing some who don't share that level ofr respect e law.li so i think whaoln would say is it is a tough time, but you are going to get through it. laura: dan abrams, thank you very much for joining us. dan: my pleasure. laura: sunday is broadway's biggest night, and theater fans will be glued to the tony awards. among the hits of the season is a show that far from being a musical many expect. the result has audiences buzzing. reporter: broadway is defined by its big shows, but this season, a rather different musical has come into view.it s "the band's visit," based on a 2007 israeli film and set in the 1990's. it is the story of an egyptian police band that is stranded in

government denies many are calling for transparency in next month's presidential poll when president abraham kater seeks reelection those are the headlines the news continues on al-jazeera but first it is inside story. the to. be in the am i am. i am coming with the arrow with. am. the biggest anti-government protest in jordan in here tax wise it's the cost of living else terry to measure stoking demands for the prime minister to resign what role are regional powers playing in the crisis this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program fully back to hundreds of jordanians have spent the past few days voicing their anger at proposed tax increases and what they say is yo ready intolerable high cost of living they accuse a government of covering up failed economic policies and demand the resignation of prime minister. jordan's economy has struggled in recent years because of the conflicts in neighboring syria and iraq and a shortfall in foreign aid so can a compromise be reached to avert a full blown crisis but back question to our guests in just a moment but first how the hawks reports.

. >> host: what did you learn abou abraham lincoln and ambition? >> guest: the really interesting thing is that his ambition was so fierce that even at the age of 23 when he runs for the state legislature for the first time -- which is where i start hi story. i start all of them when they run the first time, because some of them are going to lose. they'll be confused. i was at a college, and i was talking about presidents, and he said but i can never imagine being one of them. so i figured if i start when these guys start themselves, abraham lincoln that very first time said he had a peculiar ambition, that his ambition was to somehow win the esteem of his fellow man. he was thinking in those terms each then. then he said i may lose this election, but i think i'll try five or six times, and then maybe i'll be disgraced. he does lose the election, he tries again, he wins. he loses more elections, goes forward. it's an extraordinary story of resilience. >> host: can these guys, were they able to see around corners or think in patterns a little bit mo

he wanted to be free to experiment, and he > in the book, you say abraham did try to experiment with various approaches, to reintegrating the southern states back into the union. he tried that in north carolina. he tried it in arkansas. he tried it in louisiana. actually, setting up governments. >> actually setting up renewed governments there. that would gree to eliminate slavery, and move forward to reintegrating move forward to reintegrating these states into the union. >> but in most of those cases, the results became a proffer on the personalities he had to rely upon which were not always sterling personalities. in north carolina, for example, union forces occupied the outer banks of north carolina early in the war. pushed inland, and thought they had conquered enough north carolina territory to justify setting up of a unionist state government. well, to that position, as military governor of this union state government lincoln appoints -- stanley. a mistake. stanley turns out to be much ore interested in ingratiating himself with the north carolina population than he is in carr

abraham. mr. abraham: thank you, mr. chairman. huge problem, national security issue. and the mentality of why build it when you can steal it. we get that. i was listening to miss bingen, you had your four pillars. one of those was a program called delivery on compromise i think is what it says. my question is, for these contractors and subcontractors is there a management by objective policy that if they don't meet objectives they are penalized or punished? or if they don't reach that security level they are kicked out of the system? is there any accountability today? ms. bingen: you have actually hit on the challenge and why we're taking this different approach. when a contract is awarded it a company, it's based on cost, schedule, performance. it is not based on security. so part of this delivery on compromise initiative is working through all of the details of what would that look like, what are the standards? is there an independent verifier that does the good housekeeping seal of approval on it? how do we work with our acquisition colleagues of infusing security

abraham lincoln wasn't a governor, was never ase tor. there are some very impressive models that way. but business leaders have done well. michaebloomberg, of course, is mayor, which is the next toughest job after president is being mayor of new york city. d he certain very well and there are many business leaders who went into public service who were sucssful business leaders but even more renowned for their legacies in public service, like avrilan harr who ran the union pacific railroad and chester boelz, a great advertise r

and each of each of us finds our seven a position where in western religions for example or the abrahamic faiths the body has a soul in hinduism the soul has a body the soul exists it adopts your body your mind for a finite period of time then it discards our bodies and moves on the ultimate goal of the soul is to be able to move into god into brahman and that his is what we consider salvation and in the philosophy of course what most critics and people who praise the book have been talking about and that is. the tolerant version of india is a given it verse is obviously what has been seen as intolerance associated with the current indian government. you you say that hindu ism clearly accepts the possibility the abrahamic religions ups are all fine judaism christianity and islam so weak on the perhaps the greatest modern hindu preacher who in the late one nine hundred centuries made a very famous speech in chicago to the world parliament of religions said the just as all sorts of rivers flow in different parts crooked and straight into the same sea so also always of worship lead to the sa

he is the three-time winner of the lincoln prize and the author of "abraham lincoln redeemer link in a very short introduction, -- linkedin, a very short introduction. gettysburg: the last invasion. please welcome them here. [applause] >> reconstruction from the beginning of the book, you call reconstruction the ugly duckling of american history. why? allen: because it is. it is the era that we like least to talk about. currently, because reconstruction is regarded as a failure. we do not like to talk about failures. also, it has the misfortune of -- through tough between two high ridges in american history. ,he highest being the civil war and the other side being the gilded age. it is not something we are quite as dedicated to. modeling to more it. it is identifiable and we can talk about characters in the gilded age as though they had put is as and sparkle. even if they were crooks, they were crooks on a grand scale. reconstruction seems to be a ofl of missed -- a tale missed opportunities. a peice that was lost after a war that had been lost witht had been dramatic and painful con

geopolitics in the region and the impact it has on jordan in just a few minutes but i want to bring in abraham here in doha for a zipper on your thoughts on these protests as we said it's not the first sign that we've seen. demonstrations in jordan do you feel that it's different this time around that it's more serious this time around. well i agree with rami it's a structural problem actually a jordanian economy is dependent now there is a jordanian that is about thirty five billion dollars which is about ninety percent of the g.d.p. ninety percent of the jordanian g.d.p. so it's definitely a structural problem that this did has accumulated all this long without being the government has been able to deliver you know to respond to these challenges in addition it's not only about this but also there is a widespread corruption or at least perceived corruption among the people because most of you look at the slogans there is that these protests most of them talking about corruption as one reason and in addition of course there is the elephant in the room is the political factor which is the regio

and however abraham lincoln and george washington. i think many presidents in fact have written poetry including grant will not -- list them all but of course presidents have had poet. and famously robert frost, miya angelou, and the mellon foundation robert i don't thank you did? and i don't remember and did not think that at the poet at the inauguration although we know it was the biggest crowd ever. [laughter] but no poet. and when jhe center men that could be true. but what we do know is that many presidents have consciously used alliteration or cadence to get people's attention. so each of our panelists will speak for less than ten minutes and then help them but i doubt they will need much help to have a conversation with each other and after they do that for a while we will have q&a from the audience so the order will be i will ask robert pinsky who is a poet talk about civic matters and citizenship and then i will turn to david litt and t ted was a speechwriter for president bush the first and then of course senior speechwriter

almost exactly 100 years to the day that abraham lincoln won that decisive victory over mcclellan. dwight eisenhower was not in gettysburg that day to cast his vote. he was in augusta, georgia, he had a doctors appointment and a golf game on his mind as well. place, of course, at his but in augustine, watching the returns and he grew more and more despondent as returns came in, because lbj, the incumbent president did not simply win reelection, did not simply cruise through reelection, he crushed his role in opponent, senator barry goldwater of arizona, carrying every state in the union outside of the deep south, except for hours on a have a goldwater's home state. this is what i wrote two days later in a confidential note to a friend. i have thought that possibly a few of the central states like kansas, nebraska, and iowa might have gone republican. the landslide spared few indeed. in ahen he went further public statement, which i find kind of interesting and relevant to the talk i'm giving you now. he was, let's face it, the most popular living american at that time. more popular

i recommend abraham lincoln's poem "my childhood home i see" ."lso, i never read at an inauguration but in january on the steps of the new york public library, former laureate rita dove and i were asked to read counter inaugural poems, which we did. [laughter] robert: i supplied quotations from poetry to a president and a vice president, and i am going to talk to you about poetry as plain speaking. i will tell a story on myself. i spoke to -- i cannot remember the name -- i got the phone number of someone i'd worked with with the gore campaign of someone who was running these things for john kerry, and said i would like to help speech right. adhesive rubber, we will save -- and he said, robert, we will save you for what we want something really lofty. we want passion and intensity and color and i realized, oh shit. this is not going to work. what i think poetry has to offer is artful plainness. making something feel direct. it does take art to do that. i'm going to read you a 16th century poem written in the plain style, and i will just change one

he is being asked to be john brown by abraham lincoln. what? he frankly, had no clue on how he was actually going to do this. except that he was supposed to do it with the army, with officers and so forth. douglass goes back to rochester and begins writing telegrams and letters to friends and abolitionists. he began to organize agents for the scheme. and of course, the scheme never came to be because of the fall of atlanta and sheridan's success in the valley. not to mention, farragut taking mobile bay at the end of august. it was events on the battlefield that turned this election. thatcheme never came up however, the election did. here is the point. douglass had wanted to campaign for lincoln. it had been a very difficult process, douglass honing up to lincoln. in fact, lincoln had a few more ferocious critics in the first year and a half of the war, then frederick douglass. douglass called lincoln some bad names. names like "thet ul o catcher in northern america." if lincoln knew that when they met, he just forgot it. at any rate, the republ

alexi, you would think this historic win by abrahams in georgia would boost support of all women runningffice. what is happening here? >> right. they feel that they have invested in the democratic party in ways that are highly significant for years and they are feeling like now that they are choosing to run as candidates, they're not getting that same investment in return. and, you know, we hear a lot about electability of candidates based on money and fund-raising and something i've heard from national democrats is that the easy excuse of these women are not raising a lot of money, therefore, they're not electable. that is problematic for a few reasons, but one big reason is that as you just mentioned, stacey abrahams was highly successful this year in these elections and that should serve as a wake-up call to the democratic party that if you want to build a more diverse bunch of candidates, you have to invest in them early and often. it can't be if they just so happen to win their primary. these women that i spoke to for this report told me they don't want handouts or more than other c

in return abraham would give the king sheep and cattle. back then as now a contract required that at least two parties actually agree to it that means the parties to the contract have to agree to accept its terms. when both sides stand to profit on the deal is made the contract is sealed five are with an oath in writing with a handshake. from a legal point of view in many countries these methods are equally binding even today cars and horses are often sold with a handshake that requires a lot of trust a prerequisite for any contract regardless of what it relates to. whether it's a contract for a house a tenancy agreement a work contract a lease repair contract or a marriage contract trust and confidence are crucial. the principle that agreements must be kept packed. in latin is based on the notion that honest people will do the right thing and abide by a contract even if it leads to negative consequences in the future. that applies to nations as well. governments aren't supposed to break international contracts by means of national legisla

you you say that hindu ism clearly accepts the possibility the abrahamic religions ups are all fine judaism christianity and islam so weak on the perhaps the greatest modern hindu preacher who in the late one nine hundred centuries made a very famous speech in chicago to the world parliament of religions said the just as all sorts of rivers flow in different parts crooked and straight into the same sea so also always of worship lead to the same god he said that i'm proud to speak of a feat that has taught the world not just tolerance but acceptance and so profoundly important idea because tolerance we are taught is a virtue but it's ultimately rather patronizing it says tolerance says i have the truth you are in error but i will make none i'm mostly indulge you and your right to be wrong very different except where is except in says much more it says actually i believe i have the truth you believe you have the truth i will respect your truth please respect my truth and by that logic hindu ism is willing to see the merit in every way of worship what it doesn't accept is the clip of any other

increase and demanding the government to resign let me just talking about this widespread anger as abraham says there. is everyone that seems upset over these issues in jordan there's already been a general sales tax hike this year a subsidy on bread has been scrapped there's been an increase in fuel and electricity prices i'm just curious to know how jordanians getting on a daily basis and you know what will it take for this to subside what do people want from the government immediately. if the living conditions are deteriorating and the middle class the stone was hit hard but if you go outside the man and in some poverty pockets and how man you'll find that people are really getting the spirit or you've visited villages are saddam man of north and south and i was insult oh it's a city. near a man that has been witnessing for the last two hundred days. nightly protests every night there's people feel that it's things continue like that they will not be able to make things meet and they don't feel that there was a serious effort on the part of the government to find or to not have solution

then you think about abraham lincoln. what did he do?ardoned soldiers who may have been afraid and ran away from battle or desserted to go home to their family. and he wanted them to be soldiers again so they could retrieve their lives. he said in the middle of the civil war, the only thing that made him happy when all these people were dying was to be able to pardon a soldier. andrew johnson pardons the confederate soldiers. and of course ford pardons nixon because he wants the country to move forward. what is this doing except exacerbating divisions in the country, making us more apart than bringing us together. >> let's also talk about words and language, your stock in trade, often not mine even though i get paid to speak. we have samantha bee in the news today for a word decidedly not allowed in any of our households. we have roseanne in the news this week. we have the president kind of always in the news for his use of language. and what have you seen? if words were a tradeable stock, what's happened to them? >> you think about what

abraham is fourteen years old and lives in an evacuation camp with his father he says a group of men approached him a few weeks ago they told him they were police officers and invited him to join training and he said the prospect of taking revenge against the ice will inspired mao to group that attacked but are we city and kept it under siege for months appealed to him so he said yes his father as a side knew they were not police officers but now the supporters in this guys. they wanted to take that there were no plea burst i am thankful i managed to save my son . they told me that after training i will start to receive money during five months of conflict the city was severely damaged around two hundred members of the mountain had taken control hoping to create a caliphate. st mary's church was a symbol of religious tolerance in the country's only city under islamic law but when the war broke out this was one of the first places to be seen them out to specifically targeted christians hoping to create a religious divide more than a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousand

you you say that hindu ism clearly accepts the possibility that abrahamic religions ups are all fine judaism christianity and islam some of it on the perhaps the greatest modern hindu preacher who in the late one nine hundred centuries made a very famous speech in chicago to the world parliament of religions said the just as all sorts of rivers flow in different parts crooked and straight into the same sea so also always of worship lead to the same god he said that i'm proud to speak of a feat that has taught the world not just tolerance but acceptance and so profoundly important idea because tolerance we are taught is a virtue but it's ultimately rather patronizing it says tolerance says i have the truth you are in error but i will mcnally muesli indulge you and your right to be wrong very different except where is except it says much for it says actually i believe i have the truth you believe you have the truth i will respect your truth please respect my truth and by that logic hindu ism is willing to see the merit in every way of worship what it doesn't accept as the clip of any o
