following the capitulation of charleston to british forces, sir henry clinton promised carolinaens that britain's goal was to restore the peace and liberty that the colony had enjoyed under british rule, including exception from taxation except by their own legislature. the war had to end before they would actually get that. it's a promise. never actually fulfilled. of the hundreds of people who responded to the offer and accepted the protection in south carolina, most historians today argue did so in order to protect their property including their property and enslaved african-america african-americans. but in a moment when reformers were starting to call on parliament and congress to check the rights of slave holders, autonomy mattered as well. as was told to henry laurens, the south carolinian who helped negotiate the treaty, the constitution of great britain was sufficiently flexible to accommodate demands for self-government throughout the whole world. ultimately, though, it was not america where the carlisle peace commissioners potential emerged but ireland. okay. so we come back

i learned in writing this book that new york city had more slaves than any american city except charleston that's partly a function of our size, we become a city, that is startling and shameful statistic. so after the revolution, there was a scandal's event where some free racks living in newark were about to be lured aboard a ship and taken to charleston or the bay of honduras were a lot of slave trading one. and newark and other free towns were prey to man's dealers or black murders. these were people looking for runaway slaves but if they cannot find one they might try and pick up some free blacks and carry them off into slavery. so the authorities had stopped this, it was a scandalous event and there was a meeting in new york of an interesting combination of people, there was the elite of the city in the state, john boehner george could was part of it, mayor james duane, joh john jake a diplomat patriarch and the young joining these was alexander hamilton who had a good work and you can see the musical part but these men werese also working with new york's who appear several times in t

joyce from charleston, south carolina, you are on the air with michael barone. >> hi, michael. i'm wondering what a typical republican is. from my point of view, i've lived 70 something years from new england and always was a democrat. now i'm independent, but they are always more concerned about their taxes than anything else. it was always the issue. i could tell you who is republican who isn't republican by their point of view on taxes, and i live in a mixed neighborhood, but if you want to go to the luxury homes, there are all trump signs and trump wealthy people like trump because of the taxes, and that's always been that way, i think, and also the religious rights have always supported the republicans and evangelicals have supported the republicans. i call them radical christians because i don't think they believe anything about christianity except that trump has some kind of mandate from heaven, which i think is absurd because i need to find a new heaven then. anyway, that's my point of view is that i want to ask you, ask about taxes. i'm just an ordinary person. i belie

the church and charleston, south carolina, dylann roof at the time, you mention racism. he said he was there to shoot black people. the job on that first day and something they may be having to deal with in santa clarita too is when the configuration of facts that we know go from injuries to deaths. unfortunately, that has happened in the last wild with one of the hospitals and then the l.a. county sheriff confirming for me as well that one of the early victims in this on a high school campus has died. >> it is just heartbreaking. that's the thing. they have to unravel what happened, and it took us probably right around 12 to 15 hours to get a hold of exactly what happened, why it happened, and where it came from, and then you start to go through the process of what else do we know? are there any other friends that were involved? are there any other people that would have known about this? and then there is a heightened sense of alert because you don't know if it is a chain of events, something planned or coordinated with others, so it is going to be a touch and go time

but it is also george washington's hometown and you can go to cities, in new york, philadelphia, charleston everywhere you go there are plaques and monuments, george washington sub tier, he spent a couple couple hours here, he spent more honest and getting his suits here walking the streets, russia being here so it's really a great place to have this in addition in washington literally serving the streets when you walk out of this building, there is a lot of other revolutionary war stories, you have the car little house where young george william carlo was killed in the battle utah spree asked, and ate the camp and it was also the when he lived here later in life and there's probably more things today of being the father of a confederate general but he was a great revolutionary war soldier and he coined the phrase furniture in washington for being first in more in the hearts of this country. and the building are actually constructed and 1839, this was constructed for this purpose, knowledge about an important subjects, this is an awesome place to hold the symposium and talk about this, so i

i learned in writing this book that new york city had more slaves than any american city except charleston. it's partly a function of our size. we had become the largest city. but, still, that is a startling and shameful statistic. so after the revolution, there was a scandalous event where some free blacks living in new york were about to be lured aboard a ship and taken either to charleston or to bay of honduras where a lot of slave trading went on. and new york and other free towns were prey to man stealers or blackbirders, they were also called. these were people looking for runaway slaves, but if they couldn't find a runaway slave, they might try to pick up some freed blacks and carry them off into slavery. so the authorities had stopped this. it was a scandalous event. and so there was a meeting in new york of an interesting combination of people. there was the elite of the city and of the state, governor george clinton was part of this, first post-independence governor. mayor duane, john jay, the great diplomat and patriot, and the young joining these ranks, alexander hamilton, who

she is there in south carolina, charleston and when i think of the suburbs and south carolina, it isacross the sunbelt, really across the country, american suburbs are changing fast. republicans are seeing advantages they used to have there go away. we saw this electoral realignment play out again this month when republicans lost ground in the suburbs in both the statewide and local races, even in races where republicans won, they lost suburban counties in mississippi that they hadn't lost in decades. and in virginia, democrats took full control of the state legislature for the first time in a generation. not because the suburbs of northern virginia, they finally won the suburbs of richmond and norfolk and those places. in kentucky, matt bevin because he underperformed in places like outer cincinnati. and suburban shift, away from the gop, and the trump era is shaping up to be one of the defining story lines with this 2020 election. back with me now is leeann and mike and ruth. the upcoming book about the supreme court and brett kavanaugh. fantastic cover. it is rare that words, no,
