we had at any one time probably about 200 people working in the mountains of north carolina.aveling roadshow. >> adding to their concerns, this rural area of north carolina has a small percentage of armed residents in the form of militias. by the spring of 1995, the militia movement reaches 39 states, including north carolina. >> there were a variety of factors that helped sculpt and actually give birth to the militia movement. in the early to mid-'90s, we had a war. we had a recession. we also, in the united states, had the ascension of the democrats to both houses, the appointment of left-leaning supreme court justices and the election of a southern liberal leaving traditional, conservative white males feeling disenfranchised. what came out of that was a notion that the government itself was selling america out and going after violently against citizens who merely were different and dissented. >> authorities worried that local sentiment would be on rudolph's side, and some residents seemed to support that fear. >> you started getting some t-shirts, you got some bumper stick

calhoun and other south carolina leaders and said? you don't renounce this nullification, i'm personally going to enjoy watching you hang. he was a strong president. yeah? microphone. do we have more microphones, by the way? >> first, i'd like to point out that south carolina nullified the horse bill after. >> that's true. >> the nullification crisis verbiage based off kentucky/virginia resolution. it's not just coming out of nowhere. >> that's true. that's a very good point. that's a very good point. that's a very good point. >> thank you. >> so this notion that the union is a revocable compact, a kind of treaty or league, is acknowledged by two of the nation's great federalists, chief -- not justice, but justice joseph's story. one of the founders of harvard law school. he notes or says if the constitution is a compact between the states it operates as a here treaty or convention between them and has obligatory force, no longer than suits its pleasure. if it's a compact, then this union is acceptable. now, story did not believe that

the day after his election, south carolina announces its secession convention. southerners threatened, as you know in previous weeks for years to secede if their rights as slave owners were not respected lincoln's election begins this. the first seven states to secede. over a month before lincoln even takes the oath of office. the seven states had seceded. so his goal for giving the inaugural address is based on the oath of office he takes to preserve the union. yeah? >> i know there are articles of secession. [ inaudible ] >> these are the dates they were ratified. south carolina announces its secession convention the day after the election starts in november. after they announce it they draft the ordinance of secession. actually the ordinance of secession is generally distinct from the declaration of secession i will get to because lincoln refers to it in the inaugural address. these are the dates that the delegates of the state approve of secession. so according to southerners, it's legal. in every southern state but texas secession was ultimately voted for b

largest city in north carolina. the fact i am able to tell the story is less a reflection of me than of my forebears and of this great new american city and of this great state. like my family, charlotte's success over the decades has been similarly defiant. every generation of charlotteans knows building the future is a choice. we have to make decisions today to help us get there. although this convention will be wrapping up in 100 days, its legacy will be our efforts to improve ourselves and our community for generations. we have established four legacies. we will help build a broader, more inclusive economy. we will help provide employment opportunities for our youth, we will help our communities implement innovative and sustainable practices. we will help our children and our families lived healthier lives. thus far, we have done a lot to support these legacies. first, on the close of economy. charlotteans are becoming more diverse. we believe diversity should be reflected in the economic opportunities provided

but the thing is north carolina republicans attic are still economic development group called and see twenty they just want to shut their eyes to this inconvenient truth republican legislators have been circulating a bill that would force the coastal communities to prepare for a sea level rise of only twelve inches by twenty one hundred now how could they have possibly arrived at that conclusion well. see the bill hasn't been introduced and it could be changed but here is what the drop says so far says these rates of increasing sea level that is still only be determined using historical data and these data will be limited to the time period following the year one thousand nine hundred rates of sea level rise may be extrapolated linearly to estimate future rates of rise but shall not include scenarios of accel it accelerated rates of sea level rise so what they did only predict the future based on what have been in the past and now it's unchanging conditions i mean how absurd is that well scott hewitt he's a rally north carolina native and science writer he put it this way he said it's

folks, now mi from the palmetto state but south carolina's neighbor north carolina is also worried. because their state appointed coastal resources commission has projected a 39 inch rise in sea level by the year 2100. that would devastate the coastal real estate market. and folks, it would be a tragedy to lose precious coastal wildlife habitats to flooding. those habitats should be lost to developers bulldozers. now folks, fortunately, fortunately, folks, north carolina republicans have drawn a line in the soon to be underwater sand. they have written a new bill that would immediately address the crisis predicted by these climate models by outlawing the climate models. here's how it works. here's how it works. the law makes it illegal for north carolina to consider scenarios of accelerating rates of sea level rise due to global warming. you see right now all the scientists sea level predictions look like this. that he's steep curve, that's bad. that's-- that is predicting that things are going to get worse and worse in a feedback loop that accelerates. no politician wants that. so

tariff which addressed some of south carolina's grievances. tocquevilles some of this processes in "democracy in america." he also coincided with another national policy that had a significant regional effect and that was andrew jackson's indian removal policy, something he considered very important. the forced movement.of what we now call the five civilize the tribes over what has come to be called the trail of tears to what is now oklahoma and tocqueville on his western travels actually witnessed some of the indians moving west in this movement and he wrote a chapter at the end of the first volume of "democracy in america" on the position of indians and blacks in america and what the problems that posed for the country. these issues foreshadowed crises that came later and illustrated problems which tocqueville addressed in the last chapters of the first volume of democracy in america. on the fact that blacks and indians were not considered citizens in this democratic republic. he foresaw the possibility of the rupture of the civil war. it's
