but beaufort is great because a lot of reconstruction happened in the beaufort area. the sea island experiment, the penn school, black soldiers raised there. all sorts of things. and luckily, the confederates there were total cowards. and a soon as the union navy arrived, they all ran away. and that is great for historians because the buildings were all standing and nothing was destroyed. they said to their slaves, we are running away, and the slaves said, would you mean the? -- what you mean we? [laughter] mr. foner: reconstruction began in the buford area. it took a long time because you need the support of the local congressman to do this, and the local congressman from that area was not happy. especially because the sons of confederate veterans did not want a reconstruction site in the state of south carolina. and they seemed to have a lot of political cloud. but eventually, the current no, it is asaid good idea, we should do it. the senators went along. and then president obama, you know, designated this. so from 2000 to 2016 -- it took 16 years to get this site

i grew up in beaufort county not far away. what i would say is this. founding fathers gave us a reason-based society. it was to be based on ideas and ideals that we wanted to advance. i hear you loud and clear. this thing got to the frustration point with what you're getting at and the idea of -- ideas not making their way to the process. people said, if i could just get somebody who will get things done i would give up a lot. intos what people bought with. i will break through the clutter because i can't stand it any longer. the question is how do we get there. what i hear is almost tribal in nature. this group said that. what we need to be careful about circling the wagons based on one group versus another. at the end of the day politics ought to be about ideas. i have tried to shoot it right down the middle. another thing hot like. less than in the world i want to talk about is trump's latest tweet. you go on a tv set and you are asked about it and you have to respond to i want to talk about the ideas -- iare part and parcel hear you. i think we hav

and so michael said, oh no, where minority in size and why do they bother because one day that beaufort will matter as i went around the world and south africans, latin america voting, sometimes for the first time they know that one day that boat will matter. and we are blessed with the extraordinary gift, democracy. americans in particular were blessed with founding fathers who understood an institutional design that would protect our liberties, our right to say what we think, to worship as we please, to be free from the knock of the secret place at night. to have the dignity that comes with those who are going to govern you have test for their consent. if we were blessed with that and believe we are in town by our creator with those rights, cannot be true for us and not for them. one of the marvelous legacies of the united states of america and the building in which we sit, one of the most marvelous legacies of ronald reagan was that he never forgot our obligation to speak for the voiceless. he never forgot the application to do the right thing and supporting those who just one of the

cities along the eastern seaboard, the outer banks of north carolina, roanoke island, new bern, beaufort in north carolina. by april of 1862 they also captured new orleans. so the confederacy sees sort of the snake constricting them if you will and they need more man power, volunteering by itself isn't getting it done. so the confederate government takes the fairly strong measure of passing a conscription act, which passes formally on april 14, 1862. what the conscription act was, was basically a recognition that volunteering isn't enough. we're going to have to compel other southern men into joining the army if we're going to have a chance at victory. it's difficult to say how many were actually drafted. it is a little bit difficult. scholars say 12% to 15% of all southern soldiers were drafted. what the draft also does, there is a twofold purpose. first, i can come get you and force you into the army or just the fact of knowing that i'm going to come get you and force you into the army might make you do what? >> join. professor browning: yeah. conscription spurs a lot of guys to volunt
