abraham lincoln's assassination just weeks after the war-ravaged nation and brought andrew johnson andrew's wife e lizza was thrust into being the first lady and reconstruction in the south and his own impeachment. this week on c-span's first ladies, the life and times of eliza johnson. good evening and thank you for being with us. as we learn per about eliza johnson let me introduce you to our two guests who will help us do that. jacqueline berger is in the midst of midst a three-volume series and she joins us from her home in southern california. kendra hinkle is a greenville, tennessee, native as andrew johnson is and longtime employee of the national park service and serves as a museum technician at the andrew johnson national historic site and thanks for being with us tonight. >> jacqueline, we will start with setting the scene. the country had lost presidents before through natural death and this was the first assassination. so what was it like in washington, d.c., the capital and in the white house? was it an orderly transition or chaos or something in between? >> as you can wel

andrew johnson knew his abcs.ut she was very, very helpful in helping him form his letters and improve his writing skills, because that was one of the things that she in fact learned in school. and she did encourage him to go to the, you know, the debating classes. and that was something that they did oftentimes, you know. they'd have people come in to the tailor shop and just talk about politics and debate different issues. >> here is jesse watching us in san diego. you're on, jesse. >> caller: yes, i was wondering, after the assassination of lincoln, did they make sure that johnson was adequately protected so that something like that wouldn't happen again? and did his wife ever go out in public? >> thank you very much. and akin to that, ken rubin on facebook, can you describe what role the new secret service played in the johnson white house? so was that a response to create a sort of early secret service? >> my understanding is that the secret service actually began with abraham lincoln. they were so concerned

andrew johnson developed a deep and abiding hatred for ulysses s. grant, primarily because ground began toward closely with johnson's republican opponents in the united states congress, as he was working through problems of reconstruction. his own political party, johnson's political party, democrats also developed an abiding hatred for ulysses s. grant, primarily for the same reasons. there is a great deal of partisanship that was leveled against grant. you see it in the halls of congress. democrats opposing grant. you've seen in the partisan press, and believe me, partisanship was very very high in those days. when the democrats got control of the house in representatives, they lost all kind of investigations against the administration to try to undermine it in any way they could. but, it is also important to note that grant's contemporary critics were not limited to the opposing political party. it was not only a matter of partisanship. there was another group that we really need to take note of as well, and that is a group we might call the north

he is the andrew johnson of his time. the unfortunate thing is, without c-span, a lot of what i'm saying would never be heard. c-span does not filter. c-span does not have an agaenda. c-span allows the truth to be heard. whether people accept it or not, c-span provides the means by which it can be heard. i thank god for c-span. a lot of what we are trying to do will not be heard but for c-span. so thank you ever so much for giving me this country to respond. >> let's hear from more callers. jeff is in port ritchie, florida. >> caller: hello, america. hello, c-span. i don't call very often. i do get nervous. bear with me on this. i believe simple, direct solutions all my life. i have heard people say about black people, they look the same to me. i never understood that. i have had black friends my whole entire life. i look at it as straight, direct internal law. inside the police department change. from now on, when there's a shooting, they are on leave or desk duty. from now on, when it's questionable, there's no hesitati

but andrew johnson said -- andrew johnson stands head and shoulders above president donald trump. >> congressman, thank you for coming on. you can hear the passion in your voice and your words. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. >>> coming up next for us, the changing tide against symbols of the confederacy a. historian saying that while they can't perpetuate hate, they can teach history. that's next. we have a saying at us foods: we help you make it. you, the independent restaurants of america... we've always got your back, but through all of this... you made it happen. you made our friday nights. you even made us dessert. ♪ so, to help you get back to full strength, we're giving away free re-opening kits at our website so you can safely re-open your doors. for all you do, from all of us, let us help you make it. ♪ i've tried the $200 creams, the $400 creams olay regenerist microsculpting cream makes my skin feel so hydrated. i can face anything with my olay. and my latest beauty secret... for bright, smooth skin... olay regenerist cream cleanser. if you have a garden you know,

you see a lot of sensitivity toward issues of race and inclusion andrew johnson was a virulent racistut Ãbdid the first survey in 1948 johnson was 19/33, he was doing okay. since people have become much more conscious of his racist policies the way you really abetted and freed slaves after the civil war he dropped like a rock and i think appropriately. andrew jackson who was terrifically significant president has taken a lot of heat for both his actions as slaveholder and slave trader but also his actions toward the indian tribes where he was quite ferocious and sending them off to the west and taking their lands. so it tells us a lot about who we are or who we think we are all want to be. and i think it runs the risk, ken has created a nice story for why we have so many modern presidents that it's right, i'm not so sure it's right.i think it also reflects that we are pretty self obsessed and that presidents like andrew jackson were incredibly important clearly change the country or change james j pope who acquired 40% of our landmass. there being forgotten and going away. i think tha

1998 impeachment was always a political weapon by definition i think that was the case 1867 with andrew johnson. i think the bar has been lowered when republicans impeach clinton and i argue that at the time i was in the room part of the newt gingrich speaker advisory group at the christian coalition i certainly didn't agree with what bill clinton did in having the affair with the intern and then lie about it under oath but i questioned if it was advisable given the fact it was dead on arrival in the senate to proceed and i think i was right. but there were many people who felt this undermined the rule of law and certainly didn't disagree with that i think it has been cheapened even more under policy and became a partisan tool and was a joke i think if you go out and conduct a poll today asking people what they thought of impeachment, it will be viewed through a partisan lens depending on who the voter is. that is unfortunate, it seems to be part of that partisan back-and-forth. >> what did you think of the presidents walk to st. john's episcopal? >> i strongly supported and i released a statem

vandalism charges one of 4 accused of trying to tear down a statue of 18th century president andrew johnson over his role in forcing the digitals tribes off their land donald trump's no promise to issue a special order to protect monuments a statue to another american president theodore roosevelt also saw a protest on sunday except this time it was a gathering to protect it after you york's national history museum decided to get rid of the controversial monument at its entrance bronze of roosevelt is flagged by a native american an african man and has long been criticized for glorifying colonialism big questions though are being asked nationwide on how best to remember history the good and the bad peter all of a next this morning looks at how germany may just have the answer. when it comes to assessing and dealing with difficult periods of history germany has more experience than most but we haven't seen the type of scenes here that have played out in the united states britain belgium. i. i. was. i i. but germany isn't without its own controversial statues otto von bismarck has been told wi

bush donald trump was ronald reagan donald trump andrew jackson andrew johnson if we have a working knowledge of american history he's actually not new at all and so what we see happening is americans across the board reacting to all the in equities that have been just put on steroids since he got elected but that that black people and other marginalized groups knew were there all along and i believe that what we see happening in the streets of america why black red yellow and brown people of all different identities younger people older people saying that we've had enough of this enough of people just being killed like this when donald trump says things like if you do you know we're going to shoot that's going back to 1968 and the same thing was said about one order in a need to control it without looking at systemic problems which is this is a massive gap as as mr aris just mentioned a moment ago between the haves and the have nots and it's not just black people who have not this across the board. this is a small percentage including donald trump's group that are being controlling everythin

andrew johnson was a racist he started out and they did the first survey 1948. johnson was 19 out of 33 he was doing okay. since people have become much more conscious of his racist policies the way he abandon the freed slaves after the civil war, he has dropped like iraq. and i think appropriately. andrew jackson who was terrific president taken a lot of heat for both his actions as a slaveholder and slave trader but also his actions toward the indian tribes were his quite ferocious as a military figure and sending them off to the west and taking their lands. so it tells us a lot about who we are who we think we are or want to be. and i think it runs the risk. that's a nice story for why we have so many modern presidents that it's right. i'm not so sure it's right. i also think it reflects we are pretty self obsessed and that presidents like andrew jackson who were incredibly important really change the country. polk was acquired 40% of landmass. they are being forgotten and going away. i think that is a problem we have that our memories are not as good as they

i think that was the case in 1867 with andrew johnson. i think the bar has really been lowered. think he was lowered when republicans impeach clinton and i argued that at the time. i was in the room. i was part of newt gingrich's speaker advisory group was that of the christian coalition and i certainly didn't agree with what bill clinton did. and having the affair with an intern and lying about it under oath. i question whether or not it was advisable, given the fact that that impeachment was dead on arrival in the senate to proceed. i think i was right there. there were many people felt that this undermined the rule of law and i certainly didn't disagree with that. it's been cheapened even more under pelosi. i think it essentially became a partisan tool and with the joke and i think that if you go out and conduct a poll today and ask people what they thought of impeachment i think it's good to be viewed through a partisan lens depending upon who the voter is. i think that's unfortunate. it seems to be that partisan back-and-forth. >> what did you think of the presidents walk w

speculating because nobody can prove that what i say is wrong but lincoln was succeeded in office by andrew johnson, vice president to the president when composite assassinated. in the old view, johnson was sort of a hero. he tried to stand up the radical republicans, try to keep the south under white americans. radicals full temp but here's a defender of the constitution. nowadays, johnson is considered one of the worst president in american history. there are other contenders were being considered the worst president but johnson is one. he was deeply completely different from the can in every way. deeply racist. he was stubborn, unable to listen to criticism and change his mind. he did know how to work with congress, no sense of public sentiment. ended up getting himself impeached from first president tried before the senate. inconceivable but that lincoln would have got himself into that kind of fix. what might have happened? the battle between johnson and congress was really drained over the civil rights act of 1866 the 14th amendment of 1866. johnson opposed them and vetoed the civil rights ac

andrew johnson had been at the part of the war.turned out however he didn't know enough about andrew johnson's character and the weakness and kind of leader he would become. he became somewhat evident on the inauguration day. because he had too much to drink and he hadn't been well they give an incredible rambling speech and everybody was panicked. the suggested he was going to be up to the job. so they had he known in a johnson better, he might not have chosen him . he didn't have as much to say about who the vice president would be . the convention decided more than he. it is far as him being republican, it did not turn out very well. host: hundred women influence lincoln. his presidency. doris kearns goodwin: in some ways, said relationship developed with his wife influence loneliness that he felt during the presidency. but as little ten -year-old son willett died in february of 1862, mary was forever altered and she took to her bed. and really couldn't even be a mother to the youngest son who was eight at the time. in almost wi

general grant was a hero, and when he was president he had to fight so hard against some of andrew johnson'scist policies, where johnson was trying to return the south to prewar status by enabling some of these plantation owners to continue to subjugate free people who are then enslaved under various systems, and grant had to fight against that in his two terms. he worked and was friends with frederick douglass. you may not have him. >> dagen: charlie, let's talk about last week, when a crowd set fire to a statue of george washington in portland, oregon. i will point out that the teddy roosevelt statue is a little different, because it's not a crowd tearing it down. it is a decision backed by the family, backed by theodore roosevelt the fourth. he's a descendant of him, and a museum trustee, who said the composition of the equestrian statue -- which depicts teddy roosevelt, an african man on one side, and then a native american man on the other, it doesn't reflect roosevelt's legacy. it's time to remove the statue and move forward. a family member said that. >> charlie: and that's most impor

i think he would've handled more skillfully than andrew johnson did.he second question was should ex- presidents be speaking out more about the current situation. i have to say yes. i think they should be. i understand the great respect for the office. critical of the democratic presidents. i think the former democratic presidents had done the same. so the ways they can do it in a thoughtful manner. i just saw this morning i think. barack obama is going to give an online address it to thousands of seniors. he is kind of a punching bag for donald trump. and he never answers. it would be nice to hear him answer back. i think time for one more question. this is something i'm interested in as well. this is from joe fewer. can you say a word about how leadership was displayed at by by president wilson and others. >> let me just say for a second i'm happy to take questions by e-mail if you did not get your question and and the council has my e-mail or i can even tell you it's ted -underscore witmer and brown .-dot edu. i'm happy to answer e-mails this aftern

only picture that i can find with all three generals in it, including the subsequent president andrew johnson. grant, sherman, and meade. out of those commanders, which are -- which ones are indispensable? debatable question, but grant obviously has to be up there. if you think about it, what about the parks to the veterans? what does it mean to them? there is a reason that the veterans choose the five original five civil war parks. do the others merit inclusion, yes. especially around petersburg. always ride through there, the later parks didn't buy as big a swath of land. sometimes that is why you see houses next to the park. but your five original parks, in no certain order, vicksburg, shiloh, chickamauga, chattanooga -- that is one battlefield -- gettysburg, antietam. when they congregate after the war, they are going to be at these original battlefields when they do that. you know? the 1938 reunion, actually the war department, the u.s. army ordered in several hundred coffins in anticipation of some of the veterans dying at the reunion. i am happy to say, i hear the murmur in the crowd o

andrew johnson and stephen proposed at least one. three governors chimed in. they came from state legislatures, governors, congress, secession conventions, and the washington peace convention. my book is built around these amendments. because as i learned, no one else had gathered them or analyze them. what do they mean? james buchanan had three subsets. crittenden's had six. most had more than one. very few were one paragraph long. jefferson davis's was one paragraph. -- subsets.e sets when you add those up, there's about 350 different topics that are embodied in the 67 amendments. one of the first things i had to , listingtegorize them , the proposals down the left side and if you had 1850'stensively in the from the compromise of 1850 two -- it's ther -- itt number of articles dealt with slavery in the territories. not surprising, because that is the election. that is the election around election turned her what do we do? are southerners allowed to take their slaves there and have them there as long as they want. should the federal government prohibit slaver

andrew johnson made sure of that.s of acres of land, which was the equity-- somebody was telling me... i think they were saying that 20% of the people from that-- of the wealth in that area can actually be traced to the homestead act, which explicitly did not include black people. federal housing administration in the new deal explicitly said you cannot loan these low-cost loanses that were intended so that white people could gain equity, you cannot give them to black people. this is the most progressive piece of legislation that may have ever happened on the soil of america, explicitly excluded black people. the g.i. bill in long island, when everybody was buying into levittown, explicitly excluded blacks. until we address that, there is-- there's-- equality won't come. i think you have to-- that, to me, feels like the root. >> stephen: i think that is the root. i think if i would only add to that is that i think one of the reasons why this is a catalytic moment is because of all the work done by black organizers ove

slaves get 40 acres and a mule now, spike lee named his film company after 40 acres and a mule andrew johnsonut it was one of those moments in history where they needed black people so much and they needed black people to participate in the country so much, but they were making promises with 40 acres and a mule now we have a situation where young marginalized people have been trapped in the house because of the covid lockdown. people haven't been able to celebrate birthdays with their friends. people haven't been able to graduate with their friends. then you have the perfect storm of george floyd being murdered by police or white supremists who think they are police. so you have this energy of people trapped inside the house and they need to release so we have this perfect storm of the last time we saw a police precinct burned down was in 1968 when dr. king was murdered now, six days of rioting, they past the civil rights act after that dr. king said a riot is the language of the unheard. when voices are unheard, they rise up in the streets now that the violence is starting to dissipate a lit

because in 1865, president lincoln was assassinated and his racist pro southern vice president andrew johnsonrol over reconstruction of the south. that was the first concept of reparations and one that never came to fruition. now we've seen reparations beginning to take shape in the legacy of private institutions. take georgetown university, for example, a school that changed names of buildings and offered legacy status to descendents of 272 slaves sold by jesuit catholic priests to save the university from bankruptcy in the early 1800 s. the school grasping with its own history in order to reconcile with the past. now a new generation of protests has reignited a discussion of reparation including cash payments to the formerly enslaved slaves. this as black families have 10% of the wealth that white families have accumulated. let me just be clear about this, it takes the wealth of ten black households to equal the wealth of one median white household in america. with me now is nicole hannah jones. a pulitzer prize journalist and the author of a new article entitled "what is owed." great to se

think of one president who tried to lead the nation backwards in a situation annan gus of this, andrew johnson, after the civil war rather than carrying through on reconstruction tried to end it. he subsequently went down in history as perhaps the worst president we ever had, and i think president trump is on that same trajectory. >> we should note the president is expected to leave to dallas later today. we'll see coming out of the mil. thank you all very much for joining us this morning. >>> we are also keeping our eye out on the state department, where secretary of state mike pompeo is holding a joint news conversation with defense secretary mark esper, attorney general bill barr and robert o'brien, we'll see if they have any reaction to the breaking news. we'll bring that to you live in f it does. >>> at least 21 states seeing a spike in coronavirus cases after lifting jay at-home restrictions. we are live in the state with the fastest growing rate of covid-19 cases after reopening. stay with us. cases after reopeg stay with us how about no no uh uh, no way come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only

same way with andrew johnson. born in raleigh and runs off to tennessee and becomes a political figure. the frontier was always this ever-present place that if you screwed everything up royally, you could go out there. and you can start over. the idea was, it makes us, now look, i don't know if this is right or not, and it is sort of doesn't even matter if i think it is right or not. people then thought it was spot on accurate. it made us more willing to take risks. now the other thing is, and i have mentioned this a couple of times. this has to do with social governance. the presence of the frontier made us rugged and tough. the frontier was where you could go to prove yourself. the frontier was where you could go to get away from the luxuries of life in 1824. you could go out to the frontier and you could chop down trees and nobody would do it for you. if you go up to the frontier, you better take care of yourself or you are going to be any world of trouble. you have to go out there and you have to chop down tre

. >> trump is in the tradition of someone like andrew johnson, right? who really sought to roll back the gains that abraham lincoln achieved. so trump is in the tradition of the worst white sprem i haves and leaders in this country. he is the worst president we've seen in my lifetime but certainly not the worst i've ever had. i think part of the reason we see trump doubling down, that campaign strategy worked for him in 2016. he said the most incendiary racist things toward african-americans, toward mexican folk, toward people of color in general, and he has governed in a way that is deeply antagonistic. it is the play book he knows. it has given him success in the past. he ligs kes it. he wants to provoke the protesters into the streets. he thinks he can win with this because the play book has worked before. we should not know surprised we said we had moved away from trump when we elected obama in 2008 and here we are. so i think he's banking on the fact there is still a virulent strain of white supremacists in this country who are more comfortable wit

he is the most racist president in my opinion since andrew johnson. andrew johnson of his , and the unfortunate thing is, without c-span, a lot of what i am saying would never be heard. c-span does not filter. c-span does not have an agenda. c-span allows the truth to be heard. it orr the people accept not, c-span provides the means by which it could be heard. becausegod for c-span, a lot of what we are trying to do will not be heard but for c-span. thank you ever so much for giving me this opportunity to respond. let's hear from more callers. jeff is important rich he, florida, independent line. in porthello, -- is richie, florida, independent line. ,aller: hello, america, hello c-span. all directions i have heard about my life through black people -- they are looking same to me -- i have not understood that. i look at it in a straight, direct, internal law inside the police department changed. from now on, where is -- when there is a shooting, they are on desk duty or on leave. when it is questionable, there is no hesitation or weight. the police ch

was a sitting room and lincoln made it into a reception room where you took reports and then andrew johnson took it in as a cabinet room and grant refurnish did as a cabinet room. with other things you see here, that sofa in the back, and other things were in the house at that time. it was a grubby or room than it is today and lots of political memorabilia. >> president grant was known to smoke up to 20 cigars a day, is that right? >> he had picked up that happened during the civil war when one of his victories he was sent cigars in appreciation, and had many he started smoking them on a very regular basis. >> we invite your participation in our program, that's what makes it work for us every week. we do it in a number of ways. you can call us, and hear our phone lines, two zero two five eight five, if you live in the eastern or central time zones. if you live in the western or part of the united states, mountain pacific time, 200 to 381 5581. join the conversation and you can tweet us. use the hashtag first ladies and we will include some of our questions and comments and our conversation.

this follows an expected outlook from boris johnson, to give the green light to the reopening in a speech later today. now is andrew pleasure. thank you for joining us. are there any pros to going into negative territories for interest rates? andrew: i can't see any positives for negative interest rates. don't have negative real interest rates if we talk about real interest rates adjusted for inflation. many economists have pointed to this negative real interest rate as a reason for the fact that we have low productivity growth. problems,reates other problems for the financial system. we penalize systems for holding money. and we don't want to penalize systems, we should be supporting the financial system. does the bank of england have enough tools to deal with a sharper downturn without going into negative territory? andrew: my view is that the bank of england does as much, possibly more than has been necessary. where the action lies now with the u.k.'s with fiscal policy. this is how quickly they choose the lockdown. the policy would sit on the sidelines, it should be there to be supported, but it's not the main
