charleston is one of the cities -- wealthiest cities.the eve of the american revolution, charleston was closer to london then it was to the other colonial cities. more charles tony and's were sending their children to be educated abroad people from any other colony. that wealth is based on trade. it is based on the trade for indigo.- spice, through -- four indigo. we are really fortunate here in the museum to have our collection, one of the great views of charleston from that. a painting of the city done in 1774. he was an english painter who came to charleston and actually advertises a newspaper that he is preparing to paint a view of the city. he's going to send that painting back to london and have engraved. you have to imagine in the back of his head in the back of those reading the advertisement, there is the implication that if you print, yource your house is better delineated in it. he paints the view of charleston harbor right on the eve of the revolution. he shows charleston at the height of its commercial supremacy. he goes bac

charleston, south carolina. it almost goes without saying is a show piece of american history and southern manners. its charm is deeply embedded as the families who count seven, eight, ten generations here. kate waring was born to one of those families. grew up in a fine, big house along the historic waterfront called the battery. dance lessons, birthday parties. >> dad, if we catch a turtle, can we keep it? >> doting parents, janice and tom, who adored their own daughter. she had you essentially wrapped around her finger. >> oh, absolutely. she was the love of my life. and not stupidly so. i mean, i could not always tell when i was being manipulated, but some of the time. >> sure. >> no, katie and i had a very special bond always. >> she was the middle child. sandwiched between two brothers, older joe, younger richard. she was bright. maybe too bright. school bored her, animals, all animals, enchanted her. she was naive, sweet, as younger brother richard saw it, she could not turn away a stray animal or human.

we'll keep an eye on things there in charleston, as soon as he sta rts there in charleston, as soon as the scene there. a short time ago, i spoke to our washington correspondent chris buckler told more about the paul manafort case. paul manafort has been found guilty ofa paul manafort has been found guilty of a charges, this all relates to his time working in the ukraine for pro— russian politicians there and working for oligarchs. the jury itself were not able to come to a conclusion on ten other charges, and that has been declared a mistrial by thejudge. nonetheless, the special counsel robert mueller will regard this as being something of a victory because we have had the president at this trial standing on the sidelines, really questioning the merits and the rights of bringing this case against paul manafort, a man who was his campaign chairman, a many was the brains behind some of that campaign in 2016. but who has 110w that campaign in 2016. but who has now been found guilty of all these charges of hiding millions and millions of dollars from the authorities, and it does go to a

the fallout from charleston, all we need to do is mention the name charleston hastened cultural and political changes that many of us have seen coming long before. but which had been occurring at a gradual pace. it was not an original with me that confederate flags were going to be -- to continue to come off the cultural landscape over time. it was a downward trajectory for the confederate flags' prominence. and the monuments would be next. but the events in charleston and charlottesville have hastened this at a break neck speed. almost makes you nostalgic for those days before june of 2015 when you didn't hear much about confederate monuments. by the way, you have seen this photograph already of the taking down of the flag from the soldiers monument at the state capitol in columbia, south carolina. the first direct impact of the charleston murders. but let's not get too nostalgic and let's not forget that the years -- christy developed so nicely the taking down of monuments such as the lee monument in new orleans the following year. let's not get too nostalgic because the years before 2015 w

he is in charleston, west virginia.based on what we have seen a couple of hours ago, he seems combative and ready to fight. guest: yes. par for the course for president trump. there are often events that come up in the news at these campaign rallies that keep the president's focus not on the race that he is coming to make an endorsement in or to campaign in but instead on news directly about his white house. today is no exception, and i would add that while the president is expected to be on stage, omarosa manigault newman is expected to be on msnbc, releasing some new reporting orating to the white house trump associates, which is just the nonstop to firehose of news that we have seen today. host: ben schreckinger, you may not be following this story because so much is happening, so i apologize if i put you on the spot, but the late development involving republican donald hunter, he is facing charges of misuse of hundreds of thousands of campaign-finance money over the last couple of years, both he and his wife will ap

the first direct impact of the charleston murders. let's not get too nostalgic and -- i amt forget forgetting my own slide sequence. it led to the taking down of other monuments the following year. the years before 2015 were filled with controversies surrounding confederate symbols, specifically the confederate battle flag in the streets of auburn, alabama in the early 1990's, the old south korea's were replete with confederate -- parades were replete with confederate flags. it was settled with the adoption of the new state flag in 2004. what seemed at the time to be the solution to the long-running problem, the challenge of the confederate flag over the capitol dome in south carolina, when it came down from the dome in 2000 proved the only an armistice and not the solution. controversies have been raging for more than half a century. while theforget events of 2015 to make us forget that these are not new to 2015. quite the opposite. the reason i am appear here at all talking to you as an expert on the confederate battle flag is becau

but he's about to go on a stage in charleston, west virginia, big political rally.do you anticipate? what do you expect we might be hearing from the president? >> it was notable that when the president landed in charleston, he would not comment on michael cohen, and i think what we can glean from his attorney, rudy guiliani's statement, there will be an effort if he does speak publicly on cohen, he will discredit his account to undermine michael cohen's culpability. the role that he has played in donald trump's career. for years he acted not just as his personal attorney, but self-described fix-it guy. and he was so intimately involved in handling both the president's personal and professional dealings. and he stood in court today and directly implicated the president in a crime. this is precisely why the president and his legal team were far more concerned in recent months over the case involving michael cohen, and we're not entirely sure whether he's going to address he seems to be redirecting this to russia. this isn't the last we're hearing of michael cohen and
