, charleston, south carolina. i'm going to date myself. it looks like bosnia. i mean, it looks like this is a place where it's been bombed back to the stone age to use a more modern metaphor if you look at the pictures of atlanta all torn up of columbia, south carolina over there. it is horrific. no fewer than four major american cities are completely dismantled. their railroad tracks are gone. they're infrastructure is gone what the retreating confederate army didn't blow up we did there is this sense that we have to fix this. this is a wake-up call to the north. we're not done yet and if the goal is to reunite the country, we can't leave the south looking like this now i say that in part because barnard will be the only photographer who will actually go south. and stay he will return to charleston in the late 1860s set up his business and remained there the rest of his career. everyone else goes west. and i think there's a story there about the need to leapfrog over the blood-soaked east be able to take up with

well as far as charleston goes he was very likely to designer of the charleston county courthouse in central city. which impressed george washington when he visited in 1791, and he also built some other townhouses there from that period most of which have not survived but he built other townhouses later in the first decade of the 1800s and those generates some of those have like when i mentioned to you before being nathaniel russell house and you can see that he was thinking in terms of what charleston people needed what people in the southern climate needed and he brought that to the president's house with the great south africa which when you step outside allows you to take some take some air without being overwhelmed by the sun that lets you be in the shade and get enjoy the cool breeze. you also see that influence as well with the high ceilings of the runes in which in the original plan. we're supposed to be around 19 feet on the state floor and that hide was basically preserved 18 feet or so in the house is built and they're these enormously high rooms because that way the hot a

it's sometimes known as the first siege of charleston. this was a patriot victory the british attack charleston and they were defeated. and this is going to be one of the last major british operations in the south until 78 to 1778. excuse me. uh next battle battle of thomas creek, may 17 1777. we're gonna talk a little bit about this later, but this was a british victory. we also have the battle of alligator bridge in 1778. that is also a british victory and that's taking place in florida. and again, we'll talk a little more about that. battle of kettle creek, february 14th 1779. so we're getting kind of later into the war, but we're still technically before 1780. this was a patriot victory and we will touch a little bit more on kettle creek in a little bit. and then there's the siege of savannah september to october 1779 again in georgia continental army is teaming up with the french, but they do fail to recapture savannah from the british. and then that's when we finally start getting into that 1780 number and that's when the southern c

the defeat during the battle of sullivan's island in charleston. so it was just not as easy as the british were hoping. they abandoned the initial southern strategy to focus their resources on the war in the northern colonies. and that was the truth for the next three years. also, you have this dichotomy of the first american civil war that played out in the colonies. if you know me or the way i talk about the american revolution, you will know that it was turk the revolution that the first civil war took place. even though we call the civil war from the 1860s the american civil war, this was the first true civil warful you have neighbors, brothers, friends, taking up arms to serve their respective causes and they're finding themselves on opposite sides. and there is a lot of reasons for that. i will happily talk to any of you about that. since i have to speak to this in a certain amount of time, i will move on. but just know that there was a lot going on in the back countries that added a lot of heat to the fire of the southern theater. and it was

of plotting and insurrection in charleston. denmark vesity was free. how did he get free? he got free. i want to suit to listen this because this is one of the ironies of american history and the complexity of slavery. he was an enslaved man in 1799. he played the city lottery. the lottery like you play at the grocery store it convenience store any 1500 dollars? and he used 600 of those 1500 dollars to buy his own freedom from his so-called owners like lucerne was bessie and so after 1800 he was free and in 1822, he was a very prominent man. he's accused. we don't know if it was really an insurrection that was being plotted, but he was accused of leading this plot for an insurrection in charleston. and it he was found guilty. and of course he was executed the church was completely destroyed now, there was enormous sensitivity is not even the right word. there was paranoia among the slave owners because the haitians had defeated the greatest army on earth the army of napoleon bonaparte. um when napoleon became emperor he wanted

was accused of plotting and insurrection in charleston.e how did he get free? listen to this because this is one of the ironies of american history and the complexity of history. and enslave man in 1799 he plays the lottery i get the convenience store and $11500. he used 600 of those dollars to buy his own freedom from his so-called owners so then he was free then in 1822 is a very prominent me we don't know if it really wasn't insurrection but he is accused of leading this plot of insurrection in charleston and he was found guilty and of course he was found executed. the church was completely destroyed there was enormous sensitivity actually paranoia because the haitians defeated the greatest army on earth of napoleon bonaparte when he became emperor and wanted to reinstitute slavery on the island. >> and a brutal form of slavery. >> the average lifespan on a sugar plantation was seven years. it was the richest colony in the history of the world sugar was like crack forgive me for using that analogy but normal people, students cannot affo

that was with charleston.was exasperated by what happened in charlottesville and once again at a terrible tragedy, people were killed. it was violence there in charlottesville. in the summer, we have policeman killed, george floyd. which is currently, he is on trial for. but in the south, the reaction to what they saw in minneapolis was to turn on the confederate monument because confederate monuments represent to them, more of a plurality of people, not just african-americans. systemic racism. in white supremacy and police brutality this morning out of those two things. now we are seeing the statues are just in the politics of divisiveness that exist and has existed and have been building for the last several years. it has become a national issue, not just a regional but a national issue. and that is probably why we are having still having this conversation. and lastly i would just say that the ways in which the south has responded, that is white legislatures and the gop the dominate southern legislatures thr

and then to visit charleston international african-american. this has taken so many twists and turns in the pivotal movement and acceptable moment looking through bins in tennessee and to come across. and then for $20. and then to be discovered is not at all what it seems. because in fact even more compelling have enslaved women's lives or craftwork or black families or inheritances. things are passed down it is a common family practice and one i have been fortunate enough to engage in as well so books and photographs from parents and grandparents. but with that condition it is that difference that we feel very familiar that draws our focus to see the wealth because in this case a black mother with no financial assets of the enslaved woman in charleston in the 18 fifties so in that moment that we can scarcely imagine that there is a variety of items. and then at nine -year-old little girl named ashley. when she learned she was to be sold away from her she got on her feet and she made a may have been the final judgment call. what is required to

then charleston, there's a big riot in charleston caused by sailors. and then it starts to really gain steam. and there are incidents -- >> we have a pointer. >> oh, my god. >> here we go. >> is this going to work? okay. wow, look at me. charleston is really the first major urban riot, and ironically it's actually the best handled because the naval commander and the mayor of the city immediately work together to shut it down. because the african-american community was so important and vital to that city that even in the deep south where the civil war began, they shut it down. but, unfortunately, that's not repeated. so then you have incidents start to pop up all over. knoxville is a terrible one. arizona is very interesting where buffalo soldiers are brought to a fourth of july paw raid, and it becomes a shootout when they go out drinking. and white men don't like that they're coming into their bars. but really when you start to have washington, d.c. in mid-july and then chicago a week after, that's when everyone in the country is saying what the hell

on that same point some of the research i'm doing for the charleston revolution, they had -- this is the case in new york too -- where they had these where they were putting a lot of american prisoners in and yeah, the british, you know, in charleston were actively trying to recruit from these prisoner populations to fight in the west indies and seems like a way out for a lot of guys to get off of what would have been the most horrible of conditions of the british prison ships and that's where, you know, when you talk about things that are putting your country ahead, the fact that so many guys refused to do that, you know, is amazing to me that somebody would have an out of get out of starving to death or dying of malnutrition or disease on a prison ship, but refused to do that and instead stick it out and sometimes pay with their life. what motivates somebody to take that stand is pretty amazing to think about. >> i actually just read as nice article by larry on the deserter serving -- not desserters but guys who turned coat and decided to join the british looej. and whether they ha

i land in charleston the next day. i got the job two days later.e got the call first. i thought i was fired. i thought i didn't get the job. then i got a call with the other kid who was going to play the same role as me, in the seat next to me in the back seat. and he's like, you got the job, dude, congratulations! i'm like, oh my god. i hung up on the executive producer of the project. >> anthony: yeah. >> and so rudy looks at me and he goes -- and i was like -- [ laughter ] that's the start of the journey. i had two pairs of underwear, three t-shirts, a pair of shorts. our costume department gave me a shirt that said "charleston county jail" and i wore that to the first dinner with everyone at netflix. they looked at me like, oh god, oh no. >> anthony: yeah, this guy. >> this is our lead? in our show? that's the story of john b. [ cheers and applause ] >> anthony: all right! give it up for chase stokes. season two of "outer banks" premieres next friday on netflix. we'll be right back with music from kem. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and appla

today also remarks the sixth anniversary at the mother and manual church in charleston south carolina. the killer motivated by hate, intending to start a race war in south carolina. drew his victims in bible study and took their lives in a house of worship. it's a reminder because hate on the hides it doesn't go away fully put. and when you breathe oxygen under that rock it comes out. that's we must understand what juneteenth represents now in the commemoration of slavery it doesn't just celebrate the past and moment i will sign in july federal holiday. i've only been president several months i think this will go down for me as one of the greatest honors i will have as president. i didn't do it but you did it. democrats and republicans but it is an enormous honor. thank you for what you have done. by the way is difficult most of us in the congress and senate i would go down to the other and of the hall first to think your staff who do all the hard work. [laughter] [applause] they are at the other end but i think them as well. god bless you all and may god protect our troops. thank you

the expedition then that takes charleston in the siege operation in april and may. let me show you a slide here quickly after charleston falls, clinton appoints appoints a general cornwallis to be in charge of south carolina and georgia with the rebel rebellion in south carolina and georgia so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 down into the late spring of 1781 until he arrives at yorktown clinton comes back to new york and never saw cornwallis again so that is the strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. they came reasonably close. some things went wrong but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was of what was going to happen that year. they began 1781 more confident of the british success than any of the other four years that he was commander and i think what clinton ultimately thought was if the french and americans could score a decisive victory in 1781, that the war would end in a negotiated settlement and clinton wasn't alone in th

and the british in charleston were actively trying to recruit from these prisoner populations you had to go fight in the west indies. and it must have seemed like a way out for a lot of guys to get off of what would have been the most horrible conditions of the british prisonships. and that's where, you know, when you talk about things that are ennobling or putting your country ahead, the fact that so many guys refuse to do that is amazing to me that somebody would have an out of getting out of, you know, starving to death or dying of malnutrition or disease on a prison ship but refuse to do that and instead stick it out and sometimes pay with their life. what motivates somebody to take that stand is pretty amazing to think about. >> i actually just read a nice article by larry babbitts on the deserters serving -- they're not deserters, but the guys who decided to turn coat and join the british leej i don't know and whether they had an effect. there's still much to be written about, which makes it a great -- i think still an open period for a lot of historians. and that's why i think

are the people charleston behind what you want to do?ce, we once more police, we want to be treated with dignity and respect and make sure you're doing it right, get out of your cars and get on bikes and get out on foot and helping us, helping our children, no parent is okay seeing these young people die. i mentioned this, i get so passionate about this, these young kids it is not natural to see a body in the neighborhood and then take a test in school. these young kids have ptsd, they are struggling with stress, they thinkable that is going to come to their window, can't sleep some of them and it is cascading that affected is generational and it is not okay. we all need to help each other and have better outcomes. stuart: thank you for being on this program, for speaking out as you are. we appreciate that and hope you come back soon. quick check of the markets. a lot of reading, dow down 70, nasdaq falling 114 points. target going to spend $75 million to bonuses to employees, full-time, part-time workers in stores and distribution cente

the expedition then that takes charleston in the siege operation in april and then, clinton appointst after charleston draws, clinton appoints charles card —-dash cornwallis to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia and cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia peaked go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command and june down into the late spring 1781 until he arrives at yorktown. clinton meanwhile comes back to new york and never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british tried to accomplish and they came reasonably close that maybe we could talk about later on this evening but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was and clinton later said he began 1781 more of british success than any of the four years so clinton ultimately thought that if the allies of the french and americans could be prevented from scoring that decisive vict

and then in 1780 clinton comes south to lead a huge expedition that we take charleston in a siege operation in april and may of 1780. so then clinton appoints, one more slide quickly. after charleston, clinton appoints general cornwallis to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia. from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 mor

then in 1780, clinton comes and leads a huge x condition that retakes charleston in may of 1780. so then clinton appoints one more slide right here quickly. after charleston clinton appoints, he appoints general should be in charge of the pacification with south korean and georgia. from day one cornwallis' orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia they were in south carolina and georgia. by the time he takes command in june of 1780 and 1781 until he arrives in yorktown in the summer. clinton meanwhile comes back until after yorktown. the state where it's trying to accomplish. try to argue in the book and we can talk about a little later on this evening. clinton was far more confident than washington was. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident that any of the other four years he was commander. and i think maybe work clinton ultimately thought was if the allies the french and americans could be prevented in 171 that the war would end in a negotiated settlement. and clinton was not alone in that party think washington felt that, lafayette says that in his lett

he published a pamphlet and wrote a public letter to a charleston newspaper editor with this suggestions as to what fiscal policy the post war confederate government should adopt now was this escapism from the war? yes, but it's also way for wives to understand the war significant and purpose for he believed present trials would lead to future power and prosperity. and moving a decade ago my inquiry started on whether pre-war southern-led schemes for the expansion of slavery continued covertly during the confederacy. assuming secretly because there is as much unanimity as there is possible among historians that publicly at least the confederacy being as it was desperate for foreign recognition and fighting for its very existence had to renounce anything emphatically remotely ambitious. it is surely enough just to quote from confederate president jefferson davis message to congress declaring that a stage of war existed with united states on april the 29th. 1861 quote in our independence. we seek no conquest. no aggrandizement. no session of any kind from the states with which we have late

was that valley forge does the the march down to charleston's cat? i mean probably end like braveheart where you know, these all guys all get captured or whatever, but you know, if you have you been talking to jim tomb i've been talking about this idea. i think any 250th film i would love to see if i'm sure there will be some but i'd also love to get that dynamic of kind of back to travis's presentation of like that kind of where loyalties lie and how you figure that out? i think there's a lot that can be said, you know, we we automatically are like, oh, yeah the british they were the bad guys and we won and that's fine. but there's so much more to it than that and and that would be really interesting to explore into a deep dive into like a band of brothers type series because you can really explore that. yeah, yeah. no, it's gonna say early on i booked there. i read the i got into reading kenneth roberts, you know robin arms rundle and then i stumbled on his book of all over wiswell about a loyalist. what a great book. i mean he takes a little he ta

we have a live look, in fact, this morning at charleston. you can see how soggy wet it is there, and the storm slammed in the coast yesterday unleashing plenty of rain, and then moved into jacksonville with a possible report of a tornado. at least one death is now being reported. >> we're all paying attention to that right now. meteorologist, kari hall, tracking on what is going on there as well as what we are experiencing here in the bay area today. we have different conditions here in the bay area. >> yeah, wouldn't it be nice to get a little rain they are seeing out east? we have had all these fires developing as well as some of the smoke drifting in, but today it's mostly ozone that will affect our quality here today. as we get these hotter temperatures, we are headed towards the upper 90s in some of the hottest spots today but not a significant warm-up near the coast. san francisco today reaches 70 degrees. >>> mike, what is happening now on the commute? >> we have a lot of folks out there, overnight crews, wrapping up their hard work f

selma, charleston, speeches that he put a lot of thought into. as john said, sort of, he was saying the thing he wanted to say and was prepared to say. but i also think that -- and i am sure you guys felt this, we were sort of -- his presidency followed the growth of social media. and so it was a whole other opportunity to communicate in a new way and also screw up in a new way but to really reach audiences in different ways. and so, you know, when he, and i think he really followed mrs. obama's lead on this. the first lady was on the cutting edge of using social media to reach audiences. she wanted to meet people where they were. and so she was always getting to young people through whatever social media channel they were using. she went on "ellen" all the time because she knew that those were the audience, women who watched ellen, that she wanted to reach with policy ideas come and also to shift culture around issues like college access and healthier food for children. she was really good about that . she wasn't above any of that. i think that

he recently sent a letter to one school requiring vaccines, charles sell college in charleston. be vaccinated for covid-19 is a personal decision." you can't do this, it's against the law and when they pointed that out, the college in charleston backed off and kids have the right to choose what medicine they take, thank god. mr. attorney general, thanks so much for coming on the show. first, thank you for doing this. second, why isn't every attorney general in every state done this? first off, why did you do this? >> you start off with what does the law say, and especially here in south carolina the law is very clear. any state, publicly funded college or university cannot require proof of a covid vaccination and there was a covid protocol put up by one of our colleges and universities that was kind of unclear but it basically required incoming students of the fall semester to fill out a form, covid vaccination form and if it was determined you were unvaccinated and you declined to fill out the form you would be placed on the list, a mandatory covid testing protocol list, and th

so, and then clinton appoints-- let me show you one more slide here quickly, after charleston called, clinton appoints-- there we go. he appoints general cornwallis to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia and from day one, cornwallis' orders for south carolina and georgia, he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him with subduing the rebels, rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of 1781 and on until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown, so that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish. and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close, some things went wrong that we can maybe talk about a little later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was of what was going to happen that year. cli

after charleston, clinton appoints there we go.ints general corn wallace to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia. from day one, corn wallace orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina and he thought it would help him with subduing the rebels rebellions and south carolina and in georgia. so corn wallace is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 down into the late spring. into 1781, and on until he arrives at yorktown in summer of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. so there was southern strategy and that is what the british were trying to accomplish and i try to argue in the book that they can reasonably close but things went wrong and we can maybe talk about this a little bit later on this evening but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident in washington was pretty what was going to happen that year and clinton later said that he beg

to go up the coast and look at all the wind we're going to see. 40 to 60-mile-an-hour gusts from charleston, south carolina, all the way up to the gulf of maine. also two to four inches of rain around boston and ocean city, maryland. i'm accuweather meteorologist kevin coskren. >>> all right, coming up, why millions of americans are being told to empty the bird feeders in their yard. >>> but first what we're learning about this stunning scene. someone throwing a lit firework into a car setting off an explosion. >>> and later the man who found $1 million while cleaning his house. i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala? fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection-site reactions, bac

moving to 6:00 a.m., myrtle, charleston, seeing onshore flow and a lot of surge. could be two to three feet of surge along the east coast because of the wind direction. that's where we are right now, the storm coming onshore right at this hour. >> chad myers, thanks for that update. we'll be speaking to the mayor of jacksonville in a few moments. first, let's get a look at things on the ground where thousands are without power right now as tropical storm elsa pounds the sunshine state. let's get over to cnn's randi kaye live in clearwater beach. randi, what are you seeing there? >> boris, let me first tell you what's happening in the keys just south of here. there was a boat that capsized and the search is on for nine missing people about 23 miles off of key west. we're getting information from the coast guard there that they've done the survivor debriefs, talking to the people they rescued. they have been able to rescue 13 people. we're told there are seven men and two women who are still missing. they're still looking for those. that's the situation there. take

we could see 1 to 2 foot storm surge across the savannah area on into charleston. here is the timing for you. notice it does make landfall right around 9:00 a.m. and you can see all the thunderstorms pushing up the peninsula, and then spreading across southeast georgia on into south carolina, north carolina and the virginias as with he will. once we get later on to the week, i want you to notice this, we will see ithe will. once we get later on to the week, i want you to notice this, we will see it suspicious up into the mid-atlantic and new england too. new england could see a 50-mile-per-hour storm right off its doorstep come friday. >> so definitely working its way up north. >>> and to the pandemic now. president biden determined to get shots into reluctant arms. the white house fell short of getting 70% of adults vaccinated by the fourth of july, but with the delta variant on the rise, the president said anyone who is still hesitant should think twice. >> right now as i speak to you, millions of americans are still unvaccinated and unprotected. and because of t

today also marks the sixth anniversary the tragic deaths of mother emanuel church in charleston, south carolina. killer motivated by hate intending to start a race war in south carolina he joined his victims in a bible study class. and he took their lives in a house of worship. to remind her that are worked to root out hate never ends because hate only hides. it never fully goes away it hides. and when you breathe oxygen under that rock it comes out. that's what must understand that juneteenth represents. not only the commemoration of the end of slavery in america more than 150 years ago, but the ongoing work to have to bring true equity. and racial justice and to america's society which we can do. in short this day doesn't just celebrate the past. it calls for action today. i wish all americans a happy juneteenth. i'm shortly in a moment going to sign in the law. making the federal holiday. and i have to say to you. i've only been president for several months. but i think this will go down for me. it's one of the greatest honors. i will have had his president not because i did it you
