not in indianapolis but in atlanta, georgia. and on thanksgiving night of 1915, a man named william joseph simmons initiated the new klan atop stone mountain, georgia, with a fiery cross and all of that. he coincided this with the debut in atlanta of birth of a nation, if you're familiar with the tremendous film by d.w. griffith. i say tremendous. i'm a film major, because he was a brilliant filmmaker who did things no one had ever done. he chose a pretty bad story to do it with, based on a play called the klansmen and it glorified the klan in the reconstruction south. and it was the highest-budget film ever made to that point, the longest film ever made to that point. and it made an enormous amount of money over the years because they just kept running it over and over again. nine days after the thanksgiving day, it debuted at a theater in atlanta, and people were very emotionally taken up by the film because even the filmmaking process he used got people very excited because it had never been done before. when the people excit

he is also going to allow atlanta to be threatened. so thatnta paper atlanta could fall. if atlanta falls, we're still ok. this is before the fall. with the newspaper editors did not realize is that if atlanta falls, it is a huge plume in the hat of abraham lincoln. if lincoln brings home this victory that is one more step , towards the republican party taking back over, and that is what the confederacy cannot have. so a number of battles which i will not get into. it is a series of retreats and a series of missed opportunities for the confederates, as well as for the union forces here they are going to make their way towards atlanta. i late june, they are going to be on the outskirts of atlanta. i'm mid-july, they are across the chattahoochee river, which is five miles from atlanta. at this point, something has to be done. johnson has given up to much territory. so now we're going to enter into a confederate feud. joe johnston is going to be questioned by jefferson davis. davis wants to get rid of him for what is happening. they have to turn to two to recommenders. two c

sherman's army has taken control of atlanta. if you can see on that map of atlanta on september 2, grant's army is in virginia. they are stymied out of petersburg fighting out of trench warfare. very soon after he occupied atlanta sherman decided to evacuate the city's civilian population, wanted it to be a purely military base. wanted to deal with beatings his protecting civilians guarding against guerrillas and spies and there's some evidence that actually nashville and what nashville was like during the war helped influence his decision in this way. he was criticized harshly for this by the bayer of atlanta. sherman famously wrote that to the mayor that war is cruelty and you cannot define it. as a result about 1600 whites and unknown numbers of african-americans packed up what they had and left the city of atlantis on by rose and as you can see on this image some by train. his next phase was to march across georgia. 285 miles to savannah to make it living off the land and destroying everything of the confederacy. so this is

but even if atlanta had not fallen or had been re- elected, the whole story might have been different. once the atlanta falls had major victories in the shenandoah valley then it is all over but there were possibilities that if -- as long as he is president and maintains the support of the northern people, the confederacy cannot win but it's possible they can if lincoln is not. >> host: plus robert e. lee wright when he said no that no man could have done better? >> guest: i think he was. consider the alternatives. robert toombs, those were the two main competitors when he was chosen. they may have lost the war by 63 >> guest: i don't think anybody could have done better. >> host: hell should we remember the cost of today you mentioned how you think of him but how should the american people remember jefferson davis, how should we remember this war and remember the confederacy? >> guest: we should remember it as a great testing of american nationality and american national freedom. and the country survived the test by remaining one nation and by abolishing slavery. that means we rememb

but, northerners are buoyant after sherman takes atlanta. mcclellan understands that his own party, specifically the copperheads, have put a millstone around his neck. he tries to disavow that infamous plank. he tries to put distance between himself and it. he tries to talk about his loyalty to his men, and how he will do right by them. but nothing works. certainly not in the wake of atlanta. his efforts are pathetic, and unconvincing, and sway nobody. mcclellan cannot get around his own platform. and so instead you see lincoln re-elected. in a landslide. he wins by something like 10 percentage points, if memory serves. and considerable -- considerably more in the electoral vote. and there you have it. the election that lincoln was supposed to lose. the day after sherman leaves atlanta, nobody knows where he's going, but he's embarking on his march across georgia. his march to the sea. lincoln's cabinet opens that memo. lincoln reads it to them. they all have a great laugh. but lincoln and his vision for the country and his vision for the wa

in terms of politics, the fall of atlanta was more important. but gettysburg came to have a special place more in retrospect than it did in defining itself in a course like it was very disappointed that mead did not follow up the defensive tactical victory of the union army had gettysburg with an offense of strategy that might have inflicted even more serious damage on the army of northern virginia as i was trapped north of the potomac river by high water for 10 days. >> host: may be lincoln should have sent that on male pleasure to meet. >> guest: well-made would have to sign that maybe we would have had a more aggressive general after that. >> host: may be. >> host: maybe grant would have stepped right in and taking care of it. i notice in the book you confessed that he begin with a bit of a bias. you didn't think much about davis. he didn't admire him in any way. admittedly your union men and he announced that in the book. as you go book. she got to know davis better by working in this book did you develop, what's the word, a sympathy, and un

the day after, sherman leaves atlanta. nobody knows where he is going, but he's embarking on the march to the sea. lincoln's cabinet opens the memo. lincoln reads it. they have a great laugh. but, lincoln and his vision for the country and his vision for the war have been vindicated. and the template has been cast for how the war will end and under what circumstances. and that is the vision that, in fact, we see on april 9th. 1865. thank you.

in terms of politics, the fall of atlanta was more important. but gettysburg came to have a special place more in retrospect i think meditated in defining itself. and, of course, lincoln was very disappointed that need did not follow up the defensive tactical victory of the union army at gettysburg with an offensive strategy that might have inflicted even more serious damage on the army of northern virginia as it was a trap north of the potomac river by high water for 10 days. >> host: maybe lincoln should've said that i mailed letter to general meade aspect maybe we would'v would have a me aggressive general after that, i don't know. >> host: maybe grant would've stepped right in. i noticed in the book you confessed that you begin with a bit of a bias. you didn't think much about jeff davis but you didn't admire him in any way. admittedly, you know, we are union men and you announce that in the book. as you got to know davis better by working on this book, did you develop -- what's the word -- a sympathy, and understand, any affection? what you
