lot union soldiers who captured or escaped were assisted by slaves who were aware of what was going on. booker t. washington, the great educator, later was the kid as a slave in virginia, and he recounts that, we all knew that if the union won, slavery would be over. it is really looking toward the long-term result that lincoln was doing. the immediate, practical result was nothing. because the union army obviously could not free slaves. if it was stationed there, the emancipation proclamation did not apply. how lincoln's military advisor wrote to u.s. grant shortly afterwards, there is no possible hope of reconciliation. we must conquer the rebels or be conquered by them. again, i think he is reflecting lincoln's view that this is it. we are going to win, and the states will be free, or we will not win. do you think lincoln thought that the 13th amendment was really the true fraying of the slaves, or do you think he felt he actually could do this forever? prof. harris: it is not clear because he did not say explicitly, but given how hard he worked to get the 13th amendment passed, i think he do

was one to unite the people. we suffered through sectionalism . we were told we were different .y race, by section, by party when i met booker t -- when i brought booker t. washington to the white house, i stated i never judged a man or woman by his or her race, color, creed, religion. nor by their section. -- theredivision but man thevision -- a medical to the interest of a man of the people. hence, the enforcement of the sherman antitrust law against the man of capital and behalf of the man of labor and consumer. i think i asked and answered. are you on the ticket? [laughter] delight.e had a i think madam, we will take yours as the last question. there was a tremendous run on wall street in 1907. , who was prevailed upon by mr. morgan and others, after being locked up in his library in new york city. he was to purchase the shares of the tennessee area ankle company, which had a great smelting plant in birmingham, alabama. he was aware it would increase his percentage of domestic generation and production of steel. purchased before you the stock -- before he purchased the stock, to boost the shares of the trust companies in your, he wanted the insura
