legend holds that it was personally planted by president andrew jackson, who defeated john quincy adamsn the election of 1828. both sides ran particularly nasty campaigns that year. but the adams camp crossed the line when they accused jackson's wife of being an adulterous. then when rachel suddenly died only two weeks before her husband's victory, jackson made it known that he believed the assault on her character and good name has quite literally killed his wife. he could not forgive that. he had seeds from his wife's favorite tree, the southern magnolia, and planted them outside the white house in her memory. truthfully, this story is probably more fiction than fact. neither jackson nor any of his contemporaries ever mentioned the tree, and it does not appear in the earliest photos of the white house. however, this does not in any way detract from the enduring love story that the tree has come to represent over the centuries. it may be the most famous, but the jackson magnolia is far from the only tree planted on the white house grounds. this existing survey condition dates to the ye

so both of those treaties were ratified by the senate and they were also signed by president andrew jackson. so that's the background and the basis for the treaty rights. fast-forward to the cherokee nation tribal constitution which has a provision that requires that they appoint a delegate to serve in the us house ofrepresentatives before the council to confirm that delegate so recently , steve holsten appointed me and the tribal council confirmed me now we are in dc working with leadership. >> hello everybody. so secretary pompeo and i are here to talk about the president's new executive order and after that we be happy to take a few questions . today the president signed a new executive order which underscores his decisive leadership and fighting global terrorism. this administration has intensified our counterterrorism sanctions effort. we've designated more than 230 individuals and entities in 2018 and most designation of any year in the last 15 years . the new executive order modernizing sanctions to combat terrorism which was signed today greatly enhances our ability to identify, san

as far as i'm concerned, andrew jackson isen a murder and genocideist. my grandfather was full blood cherokee. i just want you guys to know that i embrace both. >> okay, caller, thanks. >> i would just say to the caller and to the audience at large, we understand our treaty in 1835 was our removal treaty. we lost a quarter of our population because of the forced removal. and one way to make that right, given all the ancestors that i know my family were affected but so many other families to this day arewe affected by that histy that the caller was speaking of. one wayl to make it right is to fill our treaty. we know we have a provision that was designed to help those policies from happening again. >>h how much support do youll think you'll get from your fellow members of congress on that effort? my >> my hope is that we'll work collaboratively and find a path forward. >> how do you make thatyo case o the members of congress? >> i put it very simply. a the issue is will the united states keep its word? i'm a proud cherokee. i'm a proud american. i think t

andrew jackson is second here. and and you -- andrew jackson's other emotion is anger. the largest correlation success. you are approaching and tackling. you're taking on issues. jackson did have that quality of anger. the other person here is nixon. there is no portrait of nixon and the white house. this is the person he actually went to and met after a nonprofit fundraiser in houston many years ago. obviously when nixon was still alive seeking advice about running for the presidency. after i saw a documentary all those many years ago he sat down and but hold nixon for the entire evening. every likelihood that trump was going to make this endeavor. i did want to move to a happier note for a moment. the joy in particular the highest level of happiness where you get the twinkle in the eye. the single strongest reliable indicator of happiness. we've only two presidents. one of them is actually trumps predecessor. i thought i would read a little bit of a summary about taft to help you along. this is on william taft. they could nevertheless be pegged as a big softy. when the

andrew jackson was a bully, theodore roosevelt was a bully, and others were bullies. perfection has never been a prerequisite. the charge that she is a communist was ridiculous. rose pak was a journalist. she was an activist, she was never a communist. most of all, people think that chinese people have contributed nothing to this city in the last century -- >> thank you. unfortunately, your time is up. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. [speaking native language] >> hi. i'm strongly against naming of rose pak. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. [speaking native language] >> are you going to translate for us? it's time for the translation. thank you. >> his name is nien, and he's seen a lot of division in the chinese community, so we're fighting each other just because of naming issues. rose pak, this name is like a nail stick deep down into our hearts, into the chinese community's hearts, so i just hope that you have the power to stop this dividing, and i just hope that you can cast your righteous votes. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> may god

i was at that point on my way to give a talk about andrew jackson. and a woman ran up to me, which doesn't happen enough, forever, actually. she said oh my god, it is you. well yes, existentially speaking. and she said, your books have meant so much to me, i love them. will you wait right here, i am to go buy your book and have you sign it. i sat there thinking, this is the way the world is supposed to be. women are supposed to run up to you, buy your book. it was a twofer. hand to god, she brought back jon grissom's latest novel. [laughter] so whenever i think i'm that distinguish i remind myself that somewhere in america there is a woman with a forged copy of "the runaway jury." because you had to sign it. significant act for you to have a tendency income to you on this day. so i am delighted. the story that we commemorate today began with dreams of god and of gold, but not necessarily in that order. first by king james the in 1609, the first charter was 3805 words long. 98 of those words were about carrying religion, as it is put, to such people a

andrew jackson came to congress when he wanted to keep a goldman italian from simone boulevard -- a gold medallion. congress said no. no other president has come remotely close from the emoluments clause. this president pocket some -- pockets millions of dollars from around the world. you name it. dictators,theon of kings, and princes. the framers wanted the present -- the president of the united states to have undivided loyalty to the american people, not to foreign agents dangling cash, and not to the president himself and his business making money. the domestic emoluments clause says that the president is limited to his salary and office. he cannot collect compensation. had is the president who military stopovers organized to benefit the trump hotel and to locate military personnel at the trump hotel. we see that this president is doing everything he can to enrich himself and pocket money from the u.s. government. becauseign emoluments says no payouts from foreigners, and the domestic clause says no ripoffs from the taxpayers. this president has been engaged from day one. host: let us

to andrew available jackson, who wrote that he his wife, and unfairly held her as a slave.as not available to black men in wilmington, north carolina who were sold into --very in 1866 by this the civil authorities in that county. available to persons, black men and women who are acquitted, and this has continued relevance to our society, who were acquitted on criminal charges, but because they could not pay jail fees, were kept in jail. some were kept in jail so long, languishing in jail so long, they could never get out because the fees kept accumulating. they were given a choice -- they could sell themselves or stay in jail. >> learn more about reconstruction and lesson for today's civil rights debate with historians eric phone or and -- eric phoner and thavoilia glymph. >> next, on american history tv, the congressional black caucus posts a ceremony marking the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved africans to arrive in british north america. participants include house speaker nancy pelosi, house minority leader kevin mccarthy and historian annette gordon-reed. this wa

years ago now on the washington mall, and i was at that point on my way to give a talk about andrew jackson. and a woman ran up to me, which doesn't happen enough, or ever, actually, and she said, oh, my god, it's you. and i said, well, yes. that's hard to argue with. and she said, your books have meant so much to me. i love them. will you wait right here. i'm going to get you to -- i'm going to go buy your book and have you sign it. i said yes, ma'am. i stood here thinking this is the way the world is supposed to be. women are supposed to run up to you, buy your book. it was a two-for. hand to god, she brought back john grisham's latest novel. so as a distinguished guest. so whenever i think i'm that distinguished, i remind myself that somewhere in america there's a woman with a forged copy of the runaway jury because you have to sign it. and this is a significant act of ecumenical diversity for you all to have a tennessean come to you on this day. so i'm delighted. the story that we commemorate today began with dreams of god and of gold, but not necessarily in that order. issued by king j

the president would be the -- as andrew jackson said -- the only man elected purely by the entire american people and therefore he was above the separation of powers. he was above the checks and balances, it was the vox populi essence of populism. it was popular with people to have a president say, you are virtuous and i am the vessel into which your virtue is poured , and therefore, presidential-centric, the essence of progressivism, appealed to large numbers of people. no one ever went broke praising the virtue of the american people. >> why has congress subordinated itself? george: well, the presidents of both parties have been given by congresses of both parties, extraordinary discretion partly because there are only 535 members of the two houses of congress. and has been for many years. in the senate since the alaska and hawaii joined the union. but in that time since we began -- had 535 members, the business of government, the business of dust of the busyness of government has increased probably 20-fold. there is now nothing that is not the federal government's business. so if you're

andrew jackson and bill clinton. but both were eventually acquitted by the senate.di kaye takes a look back at clinton's impeachment and the lessons we can learn today. >> what began as a search for evidence in the paula jones sexual harassment case has mushroomed into another investigation of the president and his personal conduct. >> reporter: personal conduct by president bill clinton with a white house intern. >> the white house has started to receive subpoenas from the independent counsel kenneth starr seeking all the records involving monica lewinsky. >> reporter: during a deposition in the paula jones lawsuit clinton was questioned about an extra marital affair with lewinsky and denied it later with reporters. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman miss lewinsky. >> reporter: the first lady suggested it was all some sort of conspiracy. >> this vast white ring conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband isn't the day he announced for president. >> reporter: seven months later clinton admitted he did have a relationship with lewinsky. >>

one of truman's favorite was andrew jackson so he has several volumes. james polk.ty much arranged roughly chronologically. a lot of lincoln biographies. sets of ulysses s. grant's memoirs here. so it is a very full collection of residential biographies. truman of the young man went off to world war i and served in world war i. during that time, he was influenced by woodrow wilson. fact, many ofr of the policies he implemented were those wer ii think inspired by a number of the policies woodrow wilson had tried but had failed to get through. for example the united nations was sort of a reflected the league of nations from the first world war. we know that he read some people in an admiring way like woodrow wilson. also being from western missouri, the frontier when he was growing up, he also had an affinity for andrew jackson. one of his favorite early presidents, because he was a president truman thought for all of the people, the common people and truman of course sort of filled that role in the 20th century although his policies and jackson's policies were differ

when congress was determining whether to expunge its resolution censoring andrew jackson. the president acknowledged that those who wished to expunge the resolution appeared to have the votes. thus, he said, quote, "that deed is to be done, that foul deed, which like the blood staining the hands of guilty macbeth our ocean's waters will never wash away." another example occurred in 1846. rival factions were seeking control of the new kansas government under the terms of the recently enacted kansas-nebraska act. a pro-slavery politician had reportedly been elected as kansas's first territorial delegate. but opponents argued his election was based on fraud. they called for a special election to investigate. as the debate unfolded, a congressman from ohio, samuel galloway, spiced up his argument with a quotation from macbeth. referring to the date of the enactment of the kansas nebraska act, he said "let that pernicious hour stand accursed on the calendar." later that day, congressman john milson of virginia took the floor. milson also knew his shakespeare. he responded, "the

both of those treaties ratified by the senate and were signed by president andrew jackson. and so, that is the background and basis for the treaty rights. fast-forward to the cherokee nation tribal constitution which has a provision that requires the principal chief to appoint a delegate to serve in the u.s. house of representatives and for the council to confirm that delegate. recently, the chief appointed me and the tribal council unanimously confirming. we are now inim dc and working with leadership in our delegation and a member of congress to figure out the framework. >> host: have you formally ceded by congress? >> guest: no, we have not been working on the framework. we want to exercise our treaty rights and for us to fulfill our end of the bargain. we are nowow here working to wih sure they fille their end of the bargain. >> host: why did it take so long to get to this point? >> guest: people need to understand even though the treaty takebacks to 1835 if you get turkey history from that time forward there are large spans of time in which we were not allowed to exerc

someone tries to assassinate andrew jackson. french is right there and sees it happen.john quincy has a stroke, not long after, there's french holding his hand. the gettysburg address, abraham lincoln gives the address that was up on the platform standing beside him? benjamin brown french. the assassination. who's at the bedside by lincoln the side and standing beside his corpse at the white house after he dies? benjamin brown french. he's there for everything. is this incredible eyewitness was very generous in the way he puts his thoughts and feelings down on paper. he really ends up i think showing to some degree what it felt like to be in that kind of an extreme, polarized climate. and how americans learn to turn on each other to the degree that they did. >> where did you find his papers?>> there's a published, very abridged version of his papers that came out from the library of congress many years ago. people write about lincoln tend to know about him because he adored lincoln. they have these great anecdotes. for example, one of my favorite ones being, someone gav

i want to thank c-span of course and i also, i'm a jackson native i want to give charlotte to st. andrew'scopal school where i attended school from grade 1 to 12. in first grade they literally taught me to write in the most literal sense. the foundation of the educational foundation that we all got there was very important. i discovered henry foot when i was back in the dark ages doing my doctoral dissertation and i was doing it on the mississippi unionist before the civil war, the people who didn't want to succeed they were more moderate as far as the secession issue. not particularly the slavery issue but the secession issue specifically. i started researching those type of people and their politics in the sky foot his name kept popping up everywhere. he was a u.s. senator for mississippi from 1847 to 1851, which was the period where you had what some people call the first secession crisis a lot of issues that when slavery came to a head it was a lot of back-and-forth in washington to a very tense time that era produce something called the compromise of 1850 would postpone the civil war

people, adult white males, the democracy began to take place, particular john quincy adams and andrew jackson'sresidencies. then of course the chances for taking advantage of office, gaining money because of service and so on, grew. the standards by the 40's had become the standards of right and good conduct, they had come to involve personal conduct. susan: you observe how we do compared to other countries in terms of corruption. what do you think? james: it is impossible to tell. as far as i know, they not standards of misconduct in any of the countries that are representative democracies in the western world or others. we don't really have any comparisons between the federal government and the state and urban governments. i would wager the fact, i am willing to venture as a working hypothesis that the record of the federal government is certainly no worse than state or local governments, and perhaps battle. susan: van woodward wrote, more or less are not able to establish a correlation between the state of the nation and the presidency. james: that is correct. susan: we could have a bad pres

no president has ever, ever said anything like that, the possible exception of andrew jackson beforen i decided, how can i, i've spent my whole life doing this, how can i remain silent? because i was raised by a dad who taught me silence is complicit. this is the way he has tried to divide this country and pitted people against one another. and you saw it didn't just end with charlottesville, look what happened in el paso recently, you know, young man saying i shot all these people in the parking lot because there's a hispanic invasion. well, the president just weeks, and the 2018 off year campaign kept showing that video of people marching up, we're being invaded by latinos and mexicans are rapists, and this division in our country is just so devastating, so devastating for so many people, and it's ruining our standing around the world, in a way that is going to be hard to -- look, we can probably handle four years if he doesn't get us in a war in the next year, and i'm not being a wise guy. i'm not being glib saying that. but eight years of donald trump will fundamentally alter the

andrew jackson, which ultimate led to a censure, andrew johnson with led to an impeachment and acquittalte. bill clinton, we know what the results of that were. and obviously richard nixon, i think, probably the most extreme. >> quit -- >> before it ever happened. >> requires two things based upon history and experience. in my view and i think in the view of most historians who have looked at this and legal scholars too, well founded articles of impeachment require both high crimes and misdemeanors and an abuse of power. and it's not enough to just say that one or the other is sufficient. it's both. and just to run you through the history lesson, the reason that nixon ultimately would have been impeached and removed from office is because both prongs were satisfied. >> all right. so here you believe that this is arguably an abuse of power, but you don't see it connected to illegal activity in a way that impresses you? >> i think be careful even about the abuse of power thing but i -- >> we don't want our presidents asking the president of another country to help find dirt on a political

the chief justice for the support overseas that period of only to present have been impeached, andrew jacksonnd bill clinton. either of them removed from office for both acquitted in the senate. richard nixon resigned before the impeachment came for a debate in the house and it did pass the committee though. david: but as we remember bill clinton did very well in finishing his presidency. in fact, he got legislation done during the impeachment inquiry and in fact, left office pretty well respected president but at least in terms of the economy. >> republicans in that letter that impeachment did not bode well for them. they lost the house of representatives right after that. that is one of the reasons we been hearing that nancy pelosi has resisted up till now going forward with this impeachment process but again bowing to the pressure of her party. david: edward, thank you. we will go back to you as soon as we get response from the republicans and we should remind you for the tics of the market today they were down partly because of their marks of the president of china but really took the dow

these times are very similar to the times of andrew jackson, the times of indian removal where, you know, the utter hatred-- not everyone. it's not everyone. t, i think those forces hatred are really a relatively all part of the population. but whatever this force is, it's the same for that said natives weren't human. it's the same force that came in ansaid, well, you are more powerful if you have more money thannyonelse. or, that you're more powerful if you have light skin, or if you're male. there's something about that that's destructive to everyone. because we were all created by a creator who loved us.wn >> bnative rights, women's rights, poetry, music-- which she didn't take up seriously until her 40s-- and a sense of history. history is people. history is stories. it's poetry. and that's what i love about poetry, and that's how poetry teaches me. poetry has taught me you can timeravel in a poem. you can get to know people in a poem. and poetry is place you can come to when you have no words. >> brown: and when t perfornce is over, the sax-playing, history-seeking, poet laureate re

so i would say, because we can't reconstruct all of the events, and we focus way too much on andrew jackson and all of that, , what didbegin with it mean to become free, with nothing? how would you make a life? what would you need? what could the federal government do to help? if you do that, you with c with a freed -- you would see what the freedmen's hero data, which was remarkable. what schoolteachers, black-and-white, did do. what black people themselves did, forming schools and churches and things. so rather than beginning with it was a failure, i would begin with, how are people coming out of slavery able to make new lives for themselves, with limited resources? kids don't want to be constantly n with this idea that everything is futile, we're never making progress. post-emancipation, african-american society in the united states is the most successful post-emancipation society in the western hemisphere, ok? so rather than thinking of it as a failure, think of, what were people able to make out of this? that's what i would do. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> frederick, maryland. on tha

. >> andrew jackson. so you have all sorts -- all different ages fighting and engaged in combat. meanwhile, further north, whispers, plotting. after philadelphia arnold is ready to return to command and he had been brought up on court-martial charges while in philadelphia and he had been found guilty and his reprimand was relatively light, a public censure from washington that basically boiled down to we had wished general arnold's conduct would not have included this and will change in the future. a little light tap. arnold is furious, his last protector, washington, has betrayed him. america has offended his honor. he is lost to all. so he's going to plot to make a daring change, defect to the british. he is going to angle to be placed at west point. so west point, before it's a military academy, with as a fort. washington is sort of shocked by this because he knows arnold wants to fight in wants to fight in battle. why does he want an outpost? but he agrees. and west point is crucial for this right here. and it's all on the hudson. and what that is is literally a chain. a big

andrew jackson and william others still believed they were fighting the 1776.attle that began in to conclude, when the so-called founders broadcast the stories about d, crying foul british attempts to free the enslaved or armed natives, i on't think they expected those narratives to have the legs that did. those stories didn't match up with any of their professed convictions. mentioned jefferson, rush and payne. consider se men themselves anti-slavery. many of their fellow patriot considered themselves opponents to slavery. o why didn't they do a better job? why is the revolution so disappointing, so juan dis-faced. could teach n airs mankind about how to be happy but it certainly wasn't a lorious or completist revolution for all. we know that the union is partly to blame here that. got in the way of freedom talk. congress's completion of jefferson's stirring words about the slave trade in the declaration is a prime example this. we share jefferson's pain as those words are struck out on july.ird of it boggles the mind to think hat douglas could have done with those words but going deeper in
