buchanan succeeded.e persuaded greer to vote with the southern justices, along with another northern justice, samuel nelson, so when the -- when the supreme court issued its decision, which was a 7-2 decision, two of the seven justices were from the north, seven from the south. buchanan hoped the dred scott case would be one that would put the sectional issue regarding slavery in the territories behind the country and hoped that it would also undermine the rationale for the republican party's existence. as michael noted, buchanan had a tin ear with respect to slavery. the tin ear he had with respect to slavery is one that's complicated further if one looks over the course of buchanan's political career. buchanan, during the missouri crisis, had favored the missouri compromise that would have -- that kept slavery from some territories. in 1826 when he was in congress, he gave a speech in which he announced that he was glad that he lived in a northern state and that he regarded slavery as a political end,

on james buchanan. it is not an attempt to turn the tables on received wisdom about this presidency. you know, buchanan is going to remain in the basement. not necessarily bottom guy, real competition there. but -- but he's going to stay in the basement. what we're trying to do in this book and another book we're working on right now, is to really introduce scholars and the public alike, to the latest and best thinking. not just about buchanan, but the world that buchanan inhabited and navigated. we want to provide, i think we have provided in this book, really convenient synthesis of what's going on in america, politically speaking in the political culture of the late 1850s. for classroom use, for seminar use. that kind of thing. and most important i think, we want to really complicate your understanding of the buchanan presidency. a great historian named laurel thatcher ulrich always said history is not about simplicity, it's about depth and complexity. i will say from many years of attending this par

buchanan was decisive. done only in secession as he goes back and forth from curling up in his bed and wishing it would go away to actually saying we will hold the forts, we will not acknowledge secession as illegal. -- legal. one element in the book that we will not go into detail here is how the events in utah in 1857 foreshadow buchanan's errant decisiveness in the secession crisis. we have a situation in utah that is a mess. brigham young sees himself as a god out there. he acknowledges very little in the way of federal authority. he acts as he pleases. it is part of the united states of america. president pierce had been unsuccessful in bringing brigham young to order. buchanan determined he would do it. he sent out a large chunk of the army to essentially engage brigham young in warfare and put them down. it comes within an inch of that, thanks in part to bad communication to his generals. it doesn't quite happen. canon -- you that can and exercises are in many ways are in many ways parallel to what y

what i am seeing comes from buchanan. he always argued it was a mistake to focus on the question of who rules. the real question was the rules. and if you didn't like what was going on in a government in a society, which none of his libertarian, and right wing, and ultra free market colleagues didn't. his argument was you need to focus on the rules and change the rules and you needed to break up collective power, the kind of power you would see in labor unions and civil rights organizations and even the aarp. any collective group that makes demands on government for tax resources that would lead to transfers of resources that was a problem. and so his solution was to alter the nature of governance by radical rule change. let's come back to north carolina where this was becoming real to me. what we saw unfold in north carolina after 2010 was radical changes. extreme jerry mandering with the operation red map, attempts to undermine unions particularly public sector unions, hostility to public education and radical cuts for

buchanan and something else. not a word about any of this, but just a lovely exchange between friends. i sat coming here are some of his that his life mission was promoting the free society, promoting liberty. how do i get my mind around that? and then i took another key moment when i went upstairs into his personal office and found stacks helter-skelter, a series of letters of blowups that happen after charles cook started investing in george mason university and the fact some of the people connected with the operation engage in what confidential whistleblower identified as illegal act to that he and his violation of the tax code. and so, that was also pretty hard copying. once i got home, the hundreds and hundreds of documents i copied their input than they are with the published work and other sources, i find laying down pieces of a puzzle is sometimes come it to honest, literally nauseated me when i saw the scope of the operations being guided by the individual, when i started to follow out the career traject

buchanan and something else. this is not a word about any of this but there is this lovely exchange between france and i thought it was someone set his life mission was promoting free society, promoting liberty. how do i get my mind around that? and so then i went on and took, and then another key moment was when i went upstairs into his personal office and found stacked helter-skelter on the chair a series of letters from the blowup that happen after charles koch started investing massively in george mason university and, in fact, some people connected with the operation engaged in what confidential whistleblower identified as probably illegal activity in its violation of the tax codes. that was also pretty heart stopping. in any event once i bought him these hundreds and hundreds a document that i copied and put them together with buchanan's publish work and other sources, i found myself lying down pieces of a puzzle that sometimes to be honest literally nauseated me. when i saw the scope of the operations bein

huge political embarrassment for buchanan. that makes buchanan politically vulnerab vulnerable. and if there's one person in a good position to take account of buchanan's political vulnerability, it is steven a. douglas. the senator from illinois. douglas had -- had pegged his credibility. he had pegged his career. he had pegged his ambitions one day to become president of the united states, to the doctrine of popular sovereignty. well now it appeared that the dred scott decision had exploded popular sovereignty. all wait, said douglas, wait a minute, not so fast. in a given territory, let's say that ian takes his slave into kansas, when he arrives in kansas with his slave, they look around, they say, oh, this is kansas. where's toto? okay? so they're looking around and saying, this is kansas. now, at that point, ian's slave says, yes, this kansas place is nice, but you know something, what's over the state border or the territorial border to the north is even better and i'm out of here. feet, do your thing. so he runs away. now at this point, ian says, all right, call in the ma

he's been up here 10 minutes, and he hasn't a chance to talk but about four minutes. >> buchanan: andater goes down, then that fever will pass, and we will get our party back. and they never got it back. >> man: back in july in san francisco, the republicans held a convention. remember him? he was there. governor rockefeller. before the convention, he said, barry goldwater's positions can, and i quote, "spell disaster for the party and for the country." or him? governor scranton. the day before the convention, he called goldwaterism a "crazy-quilt collection of absurd and dangerous positions." or this man? governor romney. in june, he said, goldwater's nomination would lead to "suicidal destruction of the republican party." so even if you're a republican with serious doubts about barry goldwater, you're in good company. >> buchanan: lyndon johnson was a washington insider, a wheeler-dealer, a riverboat gambler, a guy who cuts deals for programs -- the antithesis of barry goldwater, who would take a clear-cut stand on principle. but no one doubted that he was an extremely effective pol

fire was dealing with overnight and into the early morning hours here on buchanan street in this house when firefighters arrived they found an elderly couple and two fourth district police officers out front coughing and choking from the smoke that was inside this house. twenty-fourth district police officers ran inside and helped that that elderly couple get out. one of the elderly is in more serious condition than the others but they have all been transported, they're all being treated for smoke inhalation at this hour but fire crews that i talked to definitely said the fact that the officers were here and went in so quickly, they are being credited with helping to make sure that those two elderly people that their injuries were not much worse than they are. the street in northwest, 10:25 last night, there was a two-car crash. one car caught fire. there d.c. and also d.c. firefighters were dealing with that serious incident. in that two-car crash, one person was deceased and one was transported. and then perhaps the most serious situation that we are also talking about, this was a fi

buchanan is going to james k. polk cabinet as the secretary of state and cameron decides to take over his friend's political office that there is a really important step in between pet and 20s and cameron becoming a senator from pennsylvania and that is found in the bank of middletown. he takes the wealth here comes in the 1820s and 1830s and persons banking which provides a really effective way of building his political prestige because by founding the bank of middletown, he had access to a ready source of credit as he could extend to politically influential people throughout the state, politicians, party leaders etc.. what that does is make him politically prominent even though he doesn't hold elected office. by the time we get to the 20s, cameramen is a well-known and well this good operative come he's james carville in the century so when he decides to replace james buchanan seems able to do that with almost 20 years of bridge building throughout the state and i want to emphasize the importance of state politi

james buchanan signed off on it, and congress passed it. and i believe three states began the process but by that time fort sumter happen story of the 13th amendment is a story is that should remind us not to assume things about -- about the past that is more our political interest and beliefs so that was -- there you have it. there were a lot of people willing to stop a war they did not want. that they knew would bring great destruction and sadness, and tragedy to this country. and they almost did it but didn't ruin it. >> reported staying in the union or -- vice versa support going to scwar? >> in the south i would say that upper southern states at the beginning of the secession crisis wanted to stay in the union if slavery could be preserved in some way and could be guaranteed that -- safety of this of their economic prosperity . virginia turned down secession other states did too. they didn't want to do it unless they could -- flls they were forced and that's why sumter was important, the issue for them is there would be no cohearse to

buchanan is going to the cabinet as secretary of state they decide to take over the political office but there is a really important step between the 1820s. their influential throughout the state. party leaders etc. and what that does is make him politically prominent even though he doesn't hold elected office until the 1840s. by the time we get to delete 20s, cameron is a well-known and well-respected political operative. he is james carville in the 19th century so when he decides to replace james buchanan in the senate in 1845, he's able to do that because he has almost 20 years of bridge building throughout this state. and i really want to emphasize the importance of the state's political power to the national political identity. most of the most important political figures of this area of sand to national political office because they control or have at their disposal a very powerful base of people in their states. and i think that is reflected in his political career. it's important to remember that to become a senator, you don't face the voters, you get elected by the state leg

campbell an alabama democrat, nominated to the court by democrat james buchanan, resigned as a justice to return to the confederacy. there he was named assistant secretary of war by confederate president jefferson davis, a position he held till the end of hostilities. campbell viewed the legal challenge to the slaughter house bill as part of a campaign to destroy reconstruction. indeed, at the very moment campbell was conting in the louisiana court that the 14th amendment had the broadest possible meaning he had also filed suit claiming that the newly enacted louisiana public accommodations law violated the privileges or immunities of new orleans opera house who's wished to segregate black tronz. it was catch bell's litigation objective to turn the republican's 14 amendment bense against their program of reconstruction. now in sharp contrast with catch bell stood justice samuel free man miller. miller was a former whig republican who was appointed to the court by president lincoln. in light of the racial context of louisiana politics, miller's biographer mike ross, characterizes his ma

we heard about buchanan, nasty things about buchanan can't compare to what was said about henry w. halleck. for example, a quote, halleck by nature was not only stupid but jealous and hambitiouambitious. he was a witless peasant. that's pretty strong stuff. t. harry williams, a wonderful book, the lincoln and the generals and he said quote, halleck has a reputation of being the most unpopular man in washington. it was a title he worked hard to gain. warming to the task t. harry said, quote, because of his eyes which williams described as, quote, bulging, fishy, watery and dull. a lot of gossips in washington thought he was an opium eater. i'm not sure we've ever said that about buchanan but we sure said that about halleck. now, i've just given you a couple here, but there's ton of things by certain historians. but they pale in comparison of what was said about him by his contemporaries. the negative view of halleck is absolutely overwhelming. you'd really have to look hard to find anybody in american history who's had such ingenious contempt expressed against him. which is ironic,

buchanan? >> yes. he is preparing for his own inaugural. he wants to know what the outcome in bread scott will be and he is leaning on these justices. again today this is something that we would say is out of bounds. probably out of bounds in the 19th century but part of the way we can understand the way that how the court's mind turns. is this kind of political pressure going on behind the scenes. >> i didn't put the foushlg aspect. fourth and i told you, did missouri allow a law -- excuse me, allow scott's reversion to slavery after he had lived in illinois. those are the four legal questions for the court. obviously number two and number three the most significant for the case. trs. >> so the 1856 election.. >> so the 1856 election. the wig party. and president buchanan wanting to make hay of this, how did that political election work in the case? >> the election is in the fall so there's a question as to whether or not the supreme court ought to decide the case before the election and possi

you heard all about buchanan. you can't compare to what was said about henry w.hallick. for example he said hallick was not only stupid but jealous and ambitious. he was a whitless pesant. it was throughout the war worth more than that army corp. to the confederate army. that's pretty strong stuff. he said hallick had the reputation of being the most unpopular man in washington. it was a title he worked hard to gain. warming to the task i'm not sure we ever said it about buchanan but we did about hallick. there are tons of similar stories. they pail in comparison to what was said about him by his contemporaries. the negative view of hallick is absolutely overwhelming. you have to look hard to find anybody in american history who has had such contempt expressed about him, which is ironic. during the war the two leading figures on the union side liked hallick. he was called one of the greatest men of the age. sherman believed he was the directing genius behind union military successes. now, in all fairness, however, by the end of the war neither grant nor sherman liked him
