they were able to send messengers, possibly. >> at the andrew johnson historic site, there is evidencef what life was like for the johnson family in the civil war. that video next. >> the north and the south fought over the occupation of greenville all through the civil war. it changed hands over 26 times that we're aware of. so they weren't back here for over seven years, the end of his presidency is when his daughter was asked to come and restore the house for both eliza and andrew's return. she came back and she found graffiti written all over the walls. one of the best examples and one of the tragic examples is here on the wall. it says -- andrew johnson -- the old traitor. we've actually found northern soldiers' names and their unit numbers as well as southern and their unit. in that time period, it was used as a hospital, a place to stay, and it was basically destroyed. that explains the importance of this part of east tennessee in the civil war. >> the role of governor of occupied tennessee given to him by lincoln. >> went to restore union government in the state and it was a ch

and andrew johnson of tennessee became president. mr. johnson, in an effort to placate the south, revoked fill order 15 and was almost impeached as president. they lost by one vote for not impeaching him. but what happened from that stance of mr. johnson? it caused blacks to live in a system call the peenage system, share cropping. consequently, my friends, when we didn't get our 40 acres and our mule, we were left in a state that i contend, if it had been corrected then, we would not have the miseducation, the under education or the miseducation of our peoples. the people had money, they would be able to take care of their families. if they're able to take care of their families, they would be able to feed their children. if they're able to feed their children, they're able to live in a house that they can buy. if they can live in that house, they can create a community in which they can live at peace in a beloved community. i cite all of this history to say the march on washington that will be observed in this nation in washington, d.c

on part of the military tribunal who called for the execution, they asked the then president andrew johnson for stay of execution, and he said i must devote too. he denies the stay and said not enough women have been hanged in the war. she was, in fact, hanged. i'll tell you the story about willkie, brother of henry alice, and william who went to florida after the war. went to florida to start a plantation he would create a black labor and create farm that didn't really work out of the because of the great back list against the free black in the south. i believe history is embodied and often embody in people at the particular time who are, as i said, confident, confrontational, eccentric, and may or may not comprise. that's one of the book's subtitle and intend on redefining the american nation. in also doing that, i want to cleans myself as much as possible with perceived wisdom. lots of things we know about. number of things we think we know about. particularly me. and in that case, one such example would be the personned that use stevens who may have met most recently in the lincoln movi

that's andrews johnson speaking to us from geneva.nk you. >> thousands of people are leaving syria. many have led into northern iraq where they are struggling to deal with the influx. what are they telling you in iran about a possible military strike in their country? >> well, it has to be said there's a lot of confusion here as to what a potential military strike does mean. many people are optimistic that it means they will be able to go home, believing it will topple bashar al assad. people are saying why did it take the west so long to act. their situation has been in blight for so long that they actually are annoyed and angry. i spoke to some who said why has it taken so long? why has it taken two years and nearly over 100,000 people dead for the west to want to act. there's a lot of misunderstanding about what is going on and a approximate tone she will military strike will mean. many are helpful it will bring the war to an end. that's unlikely. >> how are aid agencies coping in iran with the amount of refugees crossing daily and

guest: through andrew johnson initially. his daughter, mrs. patterson, she had completely redone the white house inside and repainted and decorated. julia grant says in her memoir that she went in and changed the furniture around. it was very stylish in the 1860s not to have sets. people were reacting to mass production. mrs. patterson had everything mixed up and all the rooms so it would look artistic. mrs. grant went in and pulled everything together in sets again. she put tidy bows on the back of the furniture. she did that, and of course, they later redecorated the east room and did some work in 1874 on the house. host: the style was what? guest: they call it neo-greco. sometimes they call it steamboat gothic. host: i cannot get that in my mind. [laughter] were the children educated at home or in school? guest: they did attend school even during the war. the boys were sent to various schools. once the grants moved east, once his responsibilities called him east, the boys went to school in burlington, new jersey. jesse and nellie would have

andrew johnson joins us, nice to talk to you. >> thanks for having me.ere, greta. >> what is the secretary doing to preserve the promotion within the hhs for obama care? >> basically, what she's doing is because the department is going to be undergoing a $15.5 billion cut because of the sequester, she's decided that her top priority is going to be promoting and outreach for obama care. it's placing funds elsewhere nords to pay for traveling which she most notably said was one of the main priorities. >> within the department of hhs is center for disease control, are they going to get cut? >> they may undergo some, we don't know what funds will be cut. she made this remark, a joint event with reporters yesterday. if you remember, back during the sequester, it was hhs that was leading the charge in the sequester scare. they talked about cuts to the head start program. they talked about cuts to seniors and health care benefits. it kind of begs the question that if those were such priorities that were going to be impacted by the sequester, why aren't funds be

first for the latest, the national review's andrew johnson joins us.thanks for having me. happy to be here and hi to the congressman, as well. >> good to have you. tell me, what's this report? who is getting bonuses at the v.a. and why? >> basically what happened is we have the veterans affair department, they were trying to address what you discussed, the backlog problem but the problem is in their attempt to fix that they created a system that actually encouraging employees to only add more to the backlog issue we have right now. >> in terms of why, the more they processed the more likely they get bonuses so process the simple ones and not the complex ones with probably the more catastrophic injuries. >> exactly so what they have, they're awarded on a points system, the more they process, they qualify for bonuses and qualify for job security so naturally that will incentivizze and encourage a worker to go through the easier ones and ring up that total quickly. but what goes by the wayside is actually the more complicated -- the more complicated claim

in part of the military tribunal who called for this execution, they asked the then-president andrew johnson for a stay of execution, and he said -- and i really must quote this to you -- he said, he denied the stay and he said not enough women had been hanged in this war. so she was. in fact, hanged. or i'll tell you the story about willkie james who went down to florida after the war. he'd been in the massachusetts 54th, he went to florida to start a plantation where he would pay black laborers and create a kind of new brook farm. it didn't really work out because of the great backlash against the free black in the south. and so i wanted to tell these kinds of stories also partly because i believe that history is embodied and it's often embodied in people at particular time who are, as i said, confident, confrontational, eccentric, sometimes fanatic, often fanatic, and who may or may not compromise. that's one of the book's subtitles. and who are intent on redefining the american nation and also doing that, i wanted to cleanse myself as much as possible of received wisdom. lots of things w

impeachment of andrew johnson and the draft.o that's where i was. >> and he -- they ended up -- there was -- he came to your district a few months later -- >> i told him at the time, you're going to lose this district if i -- i mean, it was the most republican district represented by a democrat in the country. and it was extraordinary they had to come to me to do this. but i did tell him, i'll only be his last vote. i was surprised that -- >> it was a national thing, too. you talk about your district being republican-leaning and a wealthy district, too. we're looking at 1994 mid terms where it was 52 democrats losing seats around the country. republicans, every incumbent got, a but for this vote you wouldn't have -- >> everyone was accused of being the last rote. also something else interesting happened, but the women really stayed -- the class that -- we were 24 new women democrats. we were decimated, absolutely decimated. most of the women voted for it because they thought it was responsible. i think that's what we're seeing t

textalying. >> andrew: peter johnson, jr., always a pleasure. remember his famous confrontations? volving chris hanson that will have the bad guys cheering. then, remember when democrats couldn't stop talking about the republican war on women? where are all those female defenders now with guys like anthony wiener running for mayor . with new all natural lean cuisine honestly good. it's frozen like you've never seen. they've stripped down to only natural ingredients. why? what were you thinking? new lean cuisine honestly good. in the natural frozen meals section. it also repels most ticks before they can attach. the leading brand kills, but doesn't repel. a tick tt isn't repeed or killed may attach and make a meal of us. get veterinarian recommended k9 advantix ii! ...and a great deal. . thanks to dad. may attach and make a meal of us. nope eeeeh... oh, guys let's leave the deals to hotels.com. ooh that one! nice. got it! oh my gosh this is so cool... awesome! perfect! yep, and no angry bears. the perfect place is on sale now. up to 40% off. only at hotels.com >> steve: some quick h

. >> in this case we have artifacts relating to andrew johnson's presidency and beyond. we have one of eliza's necklaces. which is a plain black cross, which i think shows her simplistic taste. ooh another is her sewing in case. one ever her three favorite pass times were embroiderywork, readsing poetry, and scrap booking. on the broader sense, they did receive political gifts while in the white house, and they had an ivory basket which came from een imwood from the sandwich islands, which are now the awaiian islands. president johnson was the first to have an easter egg roll at the white house. he brought it back. some theories held that he hold it on the white house lawn so eliza could watch. being ill with tuberculosis, she wasn't able to get out much, so she ended up watching the easter gg role. from the white house. >> one of the most spectacular gifts she brought home with her from the white house was this pors lynn box. it had 50 pounds of chocolate bonbons in it. we have in the letter from some of her children saying they would go up to mom's room in the white ho
