lectures in history, laura edwards teaches a class on public lands and the law in the early american republic. here's a preview. up thelegacy here midwest into these nicely arrayed blocks that they are now going to sell off to all of the nice little small independent farmers of the united states. you see this when you fly over the midwest. i am always fascinated by this. i say, oh my gosh. they survey all of this land and open it up to settlement. what you have here is winter in illinois, was the artifact of that. it is on our landscape. we can see jefferson's vision in the land that we still live on. squareshose surveyed are exactly what was done after the ordinance and those plots of land are what was sold then. we still have that surveyed map onto the territory there. when you fly over, you can say there is jefferson. but i looked down and see the midwest. that is so cool. it is a physical representation of this and it is kind of amazing that it has lasted that long. >> watch the entire program admin -- at midnight. american history tv, only on c-span3. >> c-span is at the shall met battle

the history of the american republic, they told us things like an american woman can't vote.t was the law. it told us the japanese can go into an interment camp. that's the law. it told us that the at beginning of this constitution that a black men was less than a white man. we hit behind the law and again we're saying the president can issue an executive order saying this is wrong, instead we say the law holds us back. it held us back before and we paid. kirsten powers and the president will pay. >> kirstjen nielsen. >> that's right, i'm sorry. >> how much longer can the white house hold out and continue this policy? >> this is a policy driven from the top. the very top. i mean, you've got the president clearly, it's out there on the record. he feels like he can blame other people, which is his m.o. he always blames other people. i have no idea how long they can go on. but once you get more pictures and once you get more audio, i mean, it's -- you know, it's a crisis for them to tell you the truth, and they're going to have to figure out a way out of it. >> and the images of

the legal argument is an assault on the concepts of the american republic and on the concepts of liberalemocr it is that serious. and what we know for sure is there won't be a single republican member of congress who lays out an argument tomorrow morning that says, this is too far. this is a dangerous argument. this is an anti-american argument. and his strategy is quite clear. donald trump is using mass rallies where he lies throughout them to incite a base to a level of fervor where they suspend what is clearly true before their eyes, where they accept truth as what the leader says is true, and where they join together in a shared sense of victimization. this is all out of autocrat 101. whether it's poland, hungary, the rise of nationalist parties in germany, in england, in france, the tactics are exactly the same. and it is disturbing to see it playing out in the united states of america in the political leadership of this country, whether they are republicans, democrats, liberals or conservatives. if you have fidelity to liberal democracy, it is important, i think, to speak out and r

he said privately, this is not the worst thing, that is the death of king, to happen to the american republicwas a very complicated figure. amy: i want to go to that moment in indian out was when robert kennedy has learned of the death of dr. king and he breaks the news to supporters as he tells them about king's assassination. >> for those of you who are black and are attended to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act against all white people, i would only say that i can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. i had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. wroteorite poet once "e"even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until in our own despair against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of god." what we need in the united states is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black. amy: that was robert kennedy, the night of king's

american public needs in the doj. >> this is an important institution for our republic. we need confidence tonight. don't, we have a huge problem as a nation. this process though it's lengthy, i'm sure there are plenty in congress who would like it wrapped up quickly. but now we'll get them. they will be reliable. and this is evidence we are rooting out the problem. not that the problem is pervasive. charles: lawrence, you know jeff sessions pretty well. he virtually vanished. is he going to reappear? >> i think this business the rule of law to him. this business the process. this is about doing his job and not making headlines. that's something i like. i want justice to be very boring. i want it to be reliable based on the facts and application of the law. snap judgments make for bad justice. >> he has been in the headlines. it's because he refused to cooperate with congress. this is former member of congress who once pressured the doj to pass information. the fact it does have to go through jeff sessions on rod rosenstein to look at and make corrections within that report. the fact is, this attor
