revolution is more wrong than right. the actual parties don't have anything to do with our politics or anyone's politics anyone. you find it in britain and american emerging around the same time. it is right to say they emerged around that time but from a debate about the french revolution that was held in english. >> host: when you say liberal society, we are not talking about liberal in the way we talk about it today. free society, classical liberalism. >> guest: a society like the one you would find in britain in the 18th century through today. one like in america through the 18th century through today. there is respect for the individual, a sense the government exist to defend and vindicate those rights. there are limits on government, but a strong government. empicize on private -- emphasis -- on private property. both sides accept the liberal society. it wasn't as radical as you would think. it isn't a debate between from far left and far right. it doesn't make it less divisive or intense. but it is more recognizable to us because it is debate about who we are. >> host: this essay was written called "why i am not a conservaticon sfsh t cons

. >> you even use the american revolution, as an example, where washington was succeeding, and when he switched to more conventional methods he nearly lost. >> the american revolution was nearly lost, because washington forgot who he was. what he was was, he was an insurgent. he had to fight by insurgent's rules, he didn't have conventional advantages. a painful lesson was learned. >> when you think about it that way, it gives one pause in the current day when you think so many things that are going wrong in the world are things done by insurgents, rebels, terrorists. all of whom don't play by established rules. and if i extrapolate the lesson from your book, they have the upper hand. >> at least they have much more -- they need to be taken far more seriously as foes than is readily apparent. say when two very different parties battle you can't make assumptions. each have their own certain advantages, motivation, persistence, anger, which the smaller weaker party carries around with them are every bit the equal of physical women's. we can't be -- physical weapons, we can't be dismissiv

in the toasted of the spirit of a reference to the american revolution and the fight against the british press conference earlier. there was of barack obama having to field questions from french reporters about who enjoys the special relationship now between paris and london when it comes to washington. it is a great question whether that be at the frederick letter actually ask the lead plates asset was the better friends is it that france or the uk now very clean up all the little bit of a spot there. i get the good after i have two daughters i've never allowed to choose between them all onto a grade at six a laugh or two letters would allow to choose a buddy of them. you know it's interesting but the fact that that question would even be asked now and you'd have to take some pause to think who's the better friend to the us france or the uk ten years back when we're in the cheese eating surrender monkey guarantee member that the freedom fries there are only ten years ago you have to go back too far. that question would anyone believe that to pause to think about it it was a no brainer u

women have been serving in a combat role in the american revolution. >> how?> her husband was mortally wounded and she took over and was shot in the breast. it is what was northern manhattan. she was the first woman to get a pension from congress and to be buried at west point. anybody who thinks a woman can't fight as well as man, there you go. >> you neutralized all of my arguments. andy, do the viewers know you served in the military? >> probably. >> what do you think? you should know. >> i think there are a couple of things about the study that were noteworthy. they said the vast majority of women who were interested in serving in combat were in younger in age, 27 or younger. female soldier s who have been in the military for awhile who have been doing their job and have advanced in the ranks through their specialty will not want to switch to any other job whether it is combat or otherwise and the same goes for men. the fact that younger female soldiers showed more of an interest is a sign that the future will be a lot different from what it is now. >> cou

holiday really honors is the entirety of washington's presidency is aside from the success of the american revolution and the establishment of america's first republic washington's greatest achievement is marked by something he didn't do seek a third term as president c. washington could have been king of a brand new country on the american continent but instead gave up his power after two four year terms all in the name of democracy and indeed this is an amazing gesture worth commemorating but while school kids across the nation may be assigning students schools across the nation might be setting students to write about their favorite presidents the focus is not likely to be on the hidden history behind the falling founding fathers pristine facade as always there is much more to washington than meets the textbook. now i want to be clear my intention is not to be subversive subversive about america's founding fathers it's simply more important that history is looked at in full with the good and the bad and most importantly the truth so let's start with the white house america's symbol of the presiden

to us americans, payne went to france and became an important spokesman for the french revolutionary. a grate champion to the english speak world. made the case for the radicalism of the revolution in france and british and american audiences. he was a real revolutionary, believer in the need to break with the past in order to undo the terrible injustices the european regimes in his view were committing on their people. and he wanted always to find ways to apply the rite political principles to society, to arrive at greater equality, greater individual liberty, and so we think of him as one of our founders about he was more radical than the american revolution was, and in some ways much more at home than the french revolution. one of the fathers of modern radicalism and the modern left. >> host: which brings us to the title of the book "the great debate." so, can you explain what where the title comes from? >> guest: burke and payne were engaged in an annual debate, especially around the french revolution. both of them more or less were backers of american independence, paine more explicitly sew than burke but burke supported the americans. when its came to the french revolution

slave initiatives in the civil war and there is more to say about that a lot more so take the american revolution. to a large extent that was a revolution carried out in order to maintain slavery. if you look back at the history around 1770 in britain the legal system was he getting to undertake strong condemnations of slavery. that was the somerset case in 1772 were slave owners from united states brought their slaves with them to angle and. one of them escaped and his owner wanted him back. it's my property and it went to court and went to lord mansfield famous jurist who ruled slavery so odious that was a term he used that it can't be tolerated on english soil. it could be tolerated in the colonies but that's another story but not on english soil. the united states, the founders of the country were almost all slaveowners and they could see the handwriting on the wall. if the colonies remained under british rule, probably these laws would apply here and they would lose their property. that was surely a significant element of the revolution and it runs right to the present. i mean right to this
