alexandria thrived on imports and exports. prominent planters exported hogshead, tobacco, a lot of tobacco, and wheat of course, across the atlantic in exchange for other goods like rum, sugar, and fashionable luxuries. we have also heard about factories operating stores and warehouses for scottish and english merchants to imported those goods across the atlantic. eventually, all those goods made their way right here to alexandria. by 1776, the city had a population of just under 2000 inhabitants. that population would grow to about 5000 by 1800. the residents of alexandria than were shipbuilders, carpenters, merchants, silversmith, blacksmith, jen tree planters and enslaved african americans. tavern keepers and white indentured servants also found themselves here. many of the inhabitants were immigrants from england and scotland and one was a taylor named william karlan. we don't have a portrait of william karlyn. in my mind, this is how i imagine him. (laughs) i am going to let that sink in for a moment. sort of middle aged,

for enslaved men owned by either alexandria citizens. so i'd like to do a bit of a deep dive here further into the clothing that carlin made for the enslaved members of alexandria's society because we know precious little about this very, very prominent part of the city's population and through the account book we gain so much more insight into their material lives on the eve of revolution. so carlin's accounts could help us understand the varieties, the quantity and life cycle of clothing within the broader lens of the material life of the enslaved. so here we go. so joe, who is an enslaved man owned by silver smith charles jones appears to receive clothing from carlin twice between 1772 and 1775. charles jones was a very infrequent customer. but in 1772 he received a coat and in 1775 carlin mended his leather breeches, which are the jeans of the time. so this is interesting to me. given the fact that joe's next appearance in any document of any kind in the history orric record is in the virginia gazette and it is a runaway advertisemen

we start here at alexandria's history museum. during the civil war in the 18 sixties, this building like many others in alexandria was used as a hospital. nursing as a practice before the civil war was used as a punishment. . women who were arrested for public drunkenness or prostitution were punished by working as a nurse for a week or two. during the criminal war over in europe, nursing as a practice started to become more of an occupation, especially for women, and during the 18 sixties during the civil war, many women came over to help teach others how this practice of nursing could be used to help these soldiers. so during this time, the practice of nursing was becoming more formalized. the battle of monastic took about -- took place about 20 miles from here. when we think of nurses during the civil war i, dorothy it dick's may come to mind. she was prominent in helping the medical field take off during the war. she was able to appoint 15%, or 3000 of the medical staff during the war, including nurses here in alexandria. ale

so just one example is alexandria merchant robert adam. he made purchases for himself and at least 12 other individuals that are only identified by their first name. sop it's possible that some of them were enslaved or otherwise somehow part of adams' working household. so further to this point, carlin's accounts provide an interesting view of how members of alexandria's enslaved community acquired clothing, as well as what they wore. the livery accounts for over 50% of the clothing that carlin produced for enslaved men, he constructed myriad garments for members of the enslaved community, as i mentioned, by alexandria's merchant population, too. interestingly, clothing made specifically for the enslaved members of alexandria's community account for over 10% of the total transactions in the account book as a whole and 37% of carlin's customers also purchased clothing for enslaved men, at the same time they purchased clothing for themselves. i should have mentioned to you that i'm a quantitative historian and i don't think i included that i

>> historic alexandria. >> i travel a lot. i will give a plug. mount vernon just up the road, recently they have done a fantastic job of a lot of the renovations. if you have not seen their new exhibit on the enslaved and unslaved individuals who lived at mount vernon, it's phenomenal a site like that is starting to engage in that enslaved narrative. a lot of times we talk about emerging american revolution and it becoming americans. we forget about that population as well. it's incredibly important to see what the enslaved people at mount vernon were doing during the revolutionary era, what happened to them after george washington died. if you haven't been there to see it, you are in town today and if you are in town tomorrow, i seriously would ask that you go look at that. they have done an absolutely incredible job. >> i will say that mount vernon's new exhibit is just phenomenal. highly recommend spending time there. i can't not plug both jamestown settlement but also yorktown. what we try to do in a 22,000 square foot permanent gallery is te

we start with alexandria ocasio cortez and look at the results.here was a lot of talk about this race with michelle caruso cabrera. it didn't turn out to be much of a fight. what do you make of those numbers? >> look at that in the elliott angle race in the carolyn maloney race, it is not enough to be an ultra liberal in new york city, you have to be a full-blown socialist in the era of aoc. jillian: you mentioned elliott and goal in those results, 92%, you can see 60.9 percentage versus elliott angle with 35.6%. it seems like right now the far left has gone so far that they really want change. what does it tell you you are seeing numbers like this? >> this is not my grandfather's democrat party, this party has looked over the edge, ran in 2018 basically on a fraud as moderates, problem-solving, focused problem solvers in the house and work with colleagues on the other side of the aisle, work with the administration. they have been anything but that, so out of touch with america that they are going to lose in november. rob: a real bonehead moment

elizabeth: democrat progressive alexandria ocasio-cortez getting criticized for saying u.s.hoice but to riot. aoc also backed the defund the police movement now taking hold in the democrat party. watch aoc here. >> what this movement is doing first and foremost is important to note that this is directed at city councils and mayors. you should look to see if your city is having this conversation but first and the other question hereto is, it's a valid question for people to ask, what should be our number one priority at all? with any agency i deserve to be funded more than almost all the others for healthcare, housing and youth combined. elizabeth: okay, we will drill down into how she is factually wrong or not but want to bring in senator from florida from rick scott, senator, great to have yawned. first off, alexandria ocasio-cortez cannot answer when she was confronted that defunding cops leads to increases in crime especially in poor minority neighborhoods like her district that she represents. what was your reaction when you heard this? >> first off, i never heard her sa

but rather what he sees when he goes on to twitter and to compare that we made one that looks at alexandria cause or cortez's twitter feed so we can kind of see what she sees what you i think is of the spectrum exactly right and what we notice is that the twitter bubble effect is definitely real videos are occurring in one feed that don't occur in the other feed and so on one good example is police brutality towards journalists or violence towards journal. in general and we see in alexander across your cortez's feed this video came up a few times showing police accosting a journalist and now you see here this video occurred a couple of times in dollars from junior's feed which shows protesters assaulting a journals so you see that they're creating different narratives of police assaulting journalists versus protesters assaulting journalists a small side note that journalist actually if you look at his twitter feed he seems much more concerned about police violence toward journalists and cited a study that showed $140.00 cases of police attacking journalists during these protests and so what

bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, alexandria ocasio-cortez all endorsing him. there is a big financial disparity here between these campaigns, mcgrath, nearly $20 million, booker, only a couple hundred thousand dollars but this is an interesting test, this late momentum that's behind booker, this sudden focus, grassroots emphasis on black lives matter and all those issues. the question is, could this lift booker to an upset victory tomorrow in the democratic primary? by the way, one thing to keep in mind here, kentucky's got mail-in voting for this primary, got a lot of people who have requested ballots but in terms of in-person voting tomorrow, lexington and louisville, they had 2,400 polling places in the state. there are 177 tomorrow. there's one for the county where louisville is. there's one for the county where lexington is. these are the big population centers. these are big polling places. it's an expo center and a football field but that's one

alexandria field joins us live from new york. and alexandria, which states are being singled out and why. >> it feels less and less by being singled out because the list is growing, including the hardest hit states and there is a lot of them. including california, georgia, iowa, idaho, mississippi, nevada and tennessee. so you have 16 states across the country where people, if they choose to travel to new york, new jersey or kreconnecticut, w have to quarantine for 14 days. the governor of new york has reminded people there will be penalties for breaking that quarantine. you could be fined and if your found out you could be forced into a mandatory quarantine. so the governors in this area really trying to hold on to the gains that they fought so hard to make, jake. >> and, alexandria, massachusetts just announced that anyone comes to their commonwealth with the exception of new england, will have to quarantine for 14 days. >> and other states are following suit. this week with you had rhode island have stricter terms, only allowi

place, all democrats supporting defunding the police, the mayor of san francisco, congresswoman alexandriacasio-cortez, ilhan omar, you have members of congress not willing to actually say whether they agree with that or not and they all have one thing in common, they all support joe biden's candidacy to run for president of the united states. joe biden is on the defund the police train whether he knows it or not and it has already left the democrat station. >> harris: yeah, you know, he's denying that. i want to mention house majority whip and some other high ranking in politics, i should say, democrats may help you out because they don't want defund either, they want better ideas. it's interesting. a spokesperson for former president george w. bush is pushing back on a "new york times" report that he won't be voting for president trump in 2020 calling it "completely made up" but the times is also pointing to a former secretary of state colin powell publicly saying that he will not support president trump and reporting that republican senator mitt romney won't eith either. lisa murkowski

a continent constant flow of steamboats would come between the city alexandria and mount vernon. he even authorizes the building of a wooden plank walkway which you can see in this photograph, and charged it to the company. probably the funny or things that came across in my research was that, this land was so valuable that there was a man named george page who arrived at mount vernon along the shoreline in 1851 and he was holding up a deed, saying that he owned part of the shoreline of mount vernon. this through, john agustin into a fifth. it did not go too well for george page, but it does go to show you, and george page also, worked for the steam packet company. there were other agents who were operating on terms of bringing people to mount vernon who wanted that access as well. he took a cut of their ticket sales and you could see this is actually the advertisement from the thomas collared. that was the one that went down several times a week. we start to see the beginnings of maybe the spirit of mount learned today. essentially, making the estate more accessible and more aff

facebook, alexandria homes any kind of unifying points you make there >> facebook is one that we talked about oen the show many, many times going into an election year and election cycle and given how many times the president will tweet, facebook where are they going to go if they're not on twitter. invitation homes will benefit from what is going on in housing. upwork is play on where we are in work from home and work remotely and tech workers. it's been a bit of laggard as an ipo that came about 18 months ago. they're going to catch up and that will be a stock you want to talk about over the next year. some of the real estate companies i just mentioned real estate has been a laggard but alexandria is the best care of what we have in health care and housing the people making innovations in life sciences that we all need and want. >> thanks, guys. we appreciate it tyler. >>> all right. still ahead, we will have more on the markets the sectors that have been leading us higher or for today taking the averages down energy and industrials and financials are among today's laggards as you see

alexandria ocasio-cortez isn't just a member of congress.aybe the most famous member of congress. she's also a surrogate for joe biden, so a lot is on the line here. ocasio-cortez didn't say that accidentally. she had a reason for saying it. why did she say that? what is going on here? as usual, the truth bears no resemblance whatsoever to what they are telling you. think about it for just a second. democratic politicians control the police departments in virtually every big city in this country. now they're telling you they want to get rid of those police departments. if theyy did, that would mean less power for themselves, so right away, you know there's lying going on. democrats do not relinquish power voluntarily. ever, period. republicans frequently do. democrats never do, so that's the first thing toto know, something obviously is going on here beneath the surface. this has to be an attempt to increase the power of the democratic party because every policy they push is. always. and in fact, that's exactly what's happening here. democra

every major aggressive leader whether elizabeth warren or alexandria ocasio-cortez is supporting mightction because i have been one of the leading progressives and in the part of my opponents they can say anything i want but it is not reality. >> i was referring to something i had seen you say which is that you don't consider him a real progressive. >> no, i don't. i have a t-shirt that says boss lady but it doesn't make me queen elizabeth when i wear it. i don't consider him a progressive because it is twofold. he's passed only a handful of things into law the four or five in all which is far fewer than any other member, his peers, he's been much less productive. two of those five or four are ceremonial. one is naming a building after the guy who died in office, he gets to see not too popular election but the county committees and now what he does is uses ways to screw over other people like what he did to me and to jonathan by declaring us dead in the entire voter file, no, i'm not done. in addition to that he takes a ton of corporate tax money and he mentioned antitrust. his biggest

alexandria ocasio-cortez is playing i think for larger stakes.allenge perhaps chuck schumer two years from now. she has in the past challenged nancy pelosi's leadership. anything's possible, if they take control of the senate and the house. you have to understand that aoc is all about challenging the democratic establishment. that means running candidates as she has in democratic primaries, running progressive candidates. i think she sees herself as part of a revolution. and also seen recently, that the institutional democratic leadership will cave under progressive pressure. and so she is going to press this idea as far and as hard as she can. she is the social media phenomenon, sort of like a an influencer capable of raising enormous amounts of money and that fund-raising frightens other democratic politicians. she is playing for large stakes and she thinks their moment has arrived. she is right. their moment has arrived. they're playing for all the marbles in this election, melissa. melissa: yeah. it will be interesting to see if the small don
