which was to the front and she was incredibly brave and intricate to all the wars which remained antietam which is the single worst day in american history in terms of casualties. after the war one of the last acts lincoln performed was to allow her to set up but missing persons bureau and she found missing soldiers but also identified the graves of tens of thousands of soldiers so that they were given the respect of a marked grave and not left the known. then she goes to europe and discovers something called the red cross and comes back here and establishes the american red cross. this is one of many things that drives me crazy in history books. this kind of statement is a round the bend. and then she established the american red cross. really? was it hard? did anything go before it that? is there a story if there? of course it there was. she was able to get a red cross going in the united states but it didn't have the clout of being aligned with the international red cross to do some work because they had to ratify the geneva convention for them to be part of the international red cross

charlie: antietam was in that, "what remains." largest number of casualties ever in american war on one day. you end, because you go back to the living. in that. you went back to the close-ups of your children. to say there's hope and a future. sally: exactly. the vitality and the fearlessness of those faces. that is what i love about those pictures of the children -- the faces. charlie: you are going from death to life. sally: the negative to the affirmative. yeah. charlie: and then in 2009, there is "proud flesh." sally: it may be one of my favorite bodies of work and one of the toughest. charlie: because it is painful for you? sally: it is a difficult -- any time you make a picture of a vulnerable subject and larry is vulnerable. he has got muscular dystrophy. so whole parts of his body have lost all their muscle. his upper left arm is no, his bicep is no bigger than my wrist. he has no muscle. charlie: that is what muscular dystrophy does to. and you wanted to do this as hard as it is. sally: it is harder for him, though. it w

enormous sacrifices that were injured on both sides, and there are moments during the war before antietam and after chancellorsville, when the northern opinion, and certainly before the election of 1864 when it was possible to see the north giving up, not winning but saying go and let us just live in two countries. professor leonard: right, and lee himself was very invested. professor gallagher: mr. holzer: the overwhelming numbers was not the only explanation. lincoln somehow kept northern well above 50%, as he proved in the april april 1854 election. professor gallagher: with a big assist from grant and sherman. [laughter] professor varon: let me just follow up with that, lincoln and the press, how much did the handling of the press, how big that loom in his leadership? mr. holzer: it is a huge advantage for him that he was so adept at getting republican editors -- and he chiefly dealt with republican editors, and he understood that democratic journals would attack him, north and certainly south, certainly in the north throughout the war. but he reached out to them, he befriended them,

they write that he came to antietam and requested a song. lincoln got so angry that he drafted a letter to the editor, one of the famous letters that he does not send, but he does not shut them down. he even allows the editor of the tribute to become a self appointed ambassador to conduct peace negotiations and could -- in canada. good question. >> i am mark, i work at the frederick douglass house and washington, d.c.. my question is if we know if lincoln followed the abolitionist press and was there any sort of fear of their criticisms of him early on that he was not acting fast enough? >> i think he did follow the abolitionist press to some degree. no one knows whether he read frederick douglas's paper. to some degree, it is a little glib i said in my book, but had abraham lincoln been caught reading and african-american newspaper, it is equivalent to a modern-day politician looking up or not murphy. i'm not sure that he read frederick douglas's d papers, but he talks about in 1859, "right makes might your code and in 1860, at his speech a

[laughter] i'm not sure he read frederick douglass' papers. he talks about how right makes might. lincoln later repeats that. i know he read garrison to some degree because he jokes with garrison when he finally meets him about his publication and about the terrorism that had been leveled against his paper when he opened it. we know he read the new york independent, the weekly newspaper that was considered an abolitionist paper. you don't talk about what is considered the extremist press because to talk
