we can say the united states government including the most conservative element, president andrew johnson, did not believe union was sufficient because when the terms of sherman's offer and armistice and end to the war, you retain southern state governments in the south, you retain local governments, you retain even the right of rebels to vote and in turn put down their arms and stop fighting the north. when it gets to the united stes capitol the cabinet rejected it, 8-0 including the most conservative members and an outraged andrew johnson directs grant to go and relieve sherman of command. one of the most shocking turn abouts. it drives lincoln's funeral procession off the front page of major newspapers. of this betrayal of the northern war effort which were not meant to keep southern state governments on the ground. when grant gets there, sherman says to him, but i don't understand. if we don't keep them in charge then who is in charge? here is no government. grant says that is exactly what they intend. for weeks and months in the south there is literal anarchy something sherman can't

in tennessee, the military governor of tennessee was andrew johnson. and andrew johnson was also the republican candidate for vice president. and andrew johnson issued an oath that voters had to take and the oath was very long. i list it all in the book, but part of the oath required voters to pledge that they opposed an arm cyst to negotiate with the south. and the democratic platform said we stand for an armistist in the south. so andrew's johnson that was required to vote essentially made it impossible for democrats to vote in tennessee. sorry. that was the first part. can you repeat the second part of your question? >> simply why was lincoln so pessimistic? >> i think he was pessimistic because of how badly the war was going. i mean, imagine 60,000 casualties in about a 30-day span. that's a lot of families who are going to be disheartened and that was the sentiment in the summer of 1864. people did not see the war going well and it's really not until the fall of atlanta and then mobile bay and the shen nan doe wa valley. it's after that point that

andrew johnson issued an oath that voters had to take. the oath was buried long.i listed all in the book. the part of the oath required voters to pledge that they opposed an armistice to negotiate with the south. the democratic platform says we stand for an armistice. andrew johnson's of, that was required to vote, essentially made it impossible for democrats to vote in tennessee. that was the first part can you repeat the second part? >> why was lincoln so pessimistic? >> he was pessimistic because the war was going badly. imagine 60,000 casualties in about a 30 day span. that is a lot of families who will be disheartened. that was the sentiment in the summer of agency four. people did not see the war going well. it is not until the fall of atlanta and mobile bay and the shenandoah valley -- after that, lincoln became confident. in october of agency c4, there were state elections in indiana and pennsylvania and ohio. those elections went republican. bellwether elections. everyone knew that however those three would states went, that was how the election would go

the problem was andrew johnson was from tennessee. he had been a democrat. had been put on the ticket to broaden the appeal of the republican party which called itself the union party. once lincoln was gone johnson reverted to his southerness. that set up the polarization between the president and the republican majority of congress that affected the formation of a reconstruction policy and led to johnson's impeachment in 1868. he was one vote short of being convicted. >> what is the biggest misconception of abraham lincoln? i'm taking advantage of the that you've written about him. >> the biggest misconception is that he is this jokester storyteller, a lightweight who somehow -- >> the perception at the time? >> by many contemporaries. that's right. the biggest misconception now, i'm not sure. >> is he the greatest man? >> our greatest presidents. george washington would be a competitor. the two of them face the greatest tasks. nationbuilding, nation saving. they triumphed, they carried through. >> how big was lincoln's ego? >> he did not have an ego proble

andrew johnson, for his part, sent a message to the government, saying, you know, if you cannot guarantee former slaves more freedom than it looks like you are prepared to, when it comes to protecting themselves and their property, i troops are going to have to stay there until you do. this is andy johnson. what will we make of a more expansive model of black freedom, if that had become the norm, if that had been accepted, if that had become the basis for postwar settlement? you have democrats, but especially republicans, representing constituencies across the non-south, committed to some kind of free labor ideology, a notion of how society should function and what former slaves ought to experience, no longer slaves. standing out as the centerpiece of the new civil rights act of mississippi was a provision widely understood to deny that black mississippians could ever own land in rural areas. this is central. if you are bound to continue to work on someone else's land, how free are you? how can we tell you are not a slave? how can we tell that slavery is actually over? how can we assume t

that would have been andrew johnson. he was president until march of 1869. you were saying that someone said that is the messiest of divorces. congress -- in rosecrans served in congress. grant had some financial problems and they wanted to put him on the retired list which would entitle him to a pension. rosecrans bought that. a lot of people thought that was not good. but he felt strongly about it. grant notat general only had wronged him but had wronged other people as well. thomas of course was going to be released by general rant. it is an interesting and deep story. book, it's this is a and also man that should be commemorated. if you think he is someone that should be remembered in the capital nation that he played a big part in preserving. anything else? >> is there any directed movement to get rosecrans a statue? >> we can start one. ohio did it. the book just came out in march. there are going to be people that are going to say no, i'm making these things up, but i think it is well documented. i hope this will happen in the next few years. >> thank

you can go and see where andrew johnson sat after he succeeded abraham lincoln, and he was waiting for mary todd lincoln, who did not want to see the -- who did not want to leave the white house. you can look at his office, which is still a working office in the treasury today. i think probably the civil rights movement encapsulated the fact that if you have a problem with washington, you need to come here to make your point about it. the march on washington for jobs and freedom in 1963, which was timed to coincide with the 100 anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, was a major, major demonstration in washington that contributed greatly to changing racial relations in this country and leading to greater equality and justice in this country. but there have been many, many other protests, discussions, and washington is very often the center of those, and very often, at the lincoln memorial, this president who did so much to keep the country together -- his memorial has become the meeting point for those who seek change. i end my book, and i would end my remarks today with the invi

not only two years -- two years after luincoln's death, his successor andrew johnson approved a corps plan for building a villa-style house out for the flt rock creek park. there were so many reason yes to do it. this proposal of the corps which had a -- which had a long time interest in saving rock creek park's woods and streams from commercial advance, gave them a lift into the president's and the president's approval. the scheme was very much current when president ulysses s. grant took office but he cast it out immediately saying that he wanted to live in lincoln's house. the traditional home of the presidents. this is the first time this really appears under general grant. he wasn't as dumb as people say. president hayes and garfield lived in the white house and saw it was historic, thought it was historic and symbolic. both consulted the library of congress on what they could do to make it look more historical. the most that came from this was hayes' ordering a portrait of martha washington painted by e.f. andrews to hang as a mate to gilbert stewart's and it remains with washin

johnson except as an overruling of the decision in my judgment. the question is what happened after that. what happened was the mantra for a. -- demography. marshall died.as his colleagues died. andrew jackson, as the president, appointed the replacement and within a very thet amount of time, majority of the justices were jacksonian. they introduced the vesting in title material in the johnson the decision. by first was introduced henry baldwin, who was certifiably insane. someone asked me where the rule came from. we don't talk about that, but i will not take the time. if you cite that opinion today, if you cite the johnson versus macintosh opinion or cite the formulation of the discovery oftrine that fits ownership indigenous lands in the discovering european sovereign, i'm going to encourage you, i want you to say that is not john marshall's discovery doctrine. it was a mistake and he got rid of it within 10 years. it is henry baldwin's discovery doctrine. baldwin was in andrew jackson appointee and certifiably insane. with any luck, eventually enough courts will hear that message and we can revisit this doctrine , and i think mentioned earlier, isclearly racist and imperialism.

chalmers johnson, for example, has described america's bases abroad as "striking evidence, for those who care to look, of an imperial project that the cold world obscured." andrew baseovitz, who sees himself as a conservative, although some historians say he's so far to the right that he's come around to the left, that the intervention in iraq as he put it was "a war for the empirrium because the purpose of american policy in total is to expand an american empirium." on the left side, the world socialist web says "iraq was a predatory imperialist war, carried out as part of a long-term strategy for reorganizing the middle east for american interests." another british commentator, tariq ali writes "when people tell me that the american empire is weakening, i say, don't underestimate it. europe and the middle east fall into line whenever the united states says, this has to be done and that has to be done. so the only really sovereign nation today is the imperial nation." now, this is not just in the ivory tower that these accusations are booted around. in fact, very sadly, after the great tragedy of the boston marathon last year, tsarnaev, the person who engineer
