a division commander been captured confederate division community captured many confederate guns and battle flags have been captured. and we in desperation is about to lead an infantry assault. when the men forced him to go to the rear not the texas brigade this time, but in other units forcedly to go through the rear. in the end the confederates were just barely able actually after 24 hours of close range fighting by various units. the confederates were able to hold their line there. and avoid disaster, but if you're keeping square at home, i think this is maybe the third time at least that it came very close to being an early grant victory that would pretty much fulfill those unrealistic expectations, but but didn't happen. after the unsuccessful attack the almost but not quite successful attack. it's spotsylvania grant again goes around. lee's flank again hits him and slides off now. again result of the battle. we don't do it by counting bodies on the battlefield, you know, famously the united states and the earlier is the vietnam war tried to gauge how well it was doing us forces

what is the point of that confederate perspective?i mentioned he was perfectly cognizant of the potential of grant crossing sooner or later on the south side of the james. but lee was uncertain of grants and tensions and he declined to consider the june 9h effort as anything more than a reconnaissance. no troops have left general grants army lee assured a nervous beauregard and could across james river without being perceived. now his competence was derived from his own intelligence gathering abilities. and with beauregard's line of scouts that were allegedly down the banks of the river. and with the army of virginia. and then to move to the pontoon bridge that the confederates maintained at the bluff just in case those federal should appear on the south side of the river. and his grand arranged and to speculate of the intention of their enemy and to respond to an inquiry earlier that afternoon by speculating that the enemy must be preparing to go south of the james. some of course the new all large body had moved south but then he co

were confederates up in hagerstown were confederates around harpers ferry. he didn't know where the main strength of confederates were. he didn't know what they were trying to do. he knew that harpers ferry was threatened, but he wasn't sure where to send the weight of his army. 191 cleared it away. he knew what needed to do, and he did it. so 191 was a big coup, maybe not the biggest coup of the war, but was a big coup. and he did act it. so lee is to order a retreat from south mountain. and it leads us to question of why does he offer at sharpsburg? well, here's the situation. you see all those black things up at the top for you guys in the back. that's the army, the potomac at fox his gap and turner's gap. and the three little white things are lee longstreet and d.h. hill. they've been whipped at south mountain and lee during the night of september the 14th. orders to fall back across potomac river at at shepherdstown. the march through sharpsburg to shepherdstown. campaigns over. he orders general applause. get your troops the potomac river any way you c

and those ravines and ridges are especially located on the roots of the confederate of a potential confederate advance to that position, a road network allowed for a convenient resupply reinforcement and communication. so. meade then dispatches two trusted aides with eyes for topography. right. this is henry hunt on the right. chief artillery and chief engineer. governor warren. down to that line to lay out a potential line of battle. so to the extent of putting stakes in the ground, hunt thought the greatest strength was that lee could not turn the position without leaving a concentrated and union stacked union army in his rear. all right. so if lee attempts to move around pipe creek, he puts his army in a very vulnerable spot. so facing an inability to turn lee's army excuse me, needs army. lee would have no choice but to attack meade on the high ground. here's what hunt wrote. quote for it can hardly be supplied, meaning lee's army having gone up to pennsylvania. they would fall back without excuse me, i read this wrong for hardly be supposed that having gone up to pennsylvania they would f

compiling information on on confederates. so this is a union service record. it's the same exact, you know, system. it looks exactly the same it's just this one relates to a member in a u.s. colored heavy artillery unit and. then same thing. it shows you where the information was taken from with various company muster enrollees or muzzle rolls. then same thing where. it has the two month you can see the system follows through where it's like, you know, every two months they're doing the the most roles. and then muster out. so this is when the soldiers was mustered out of. federal service. so this is unusual. so i'd mentioned adt to 14 so any veterans who are you know, 20th century or more recent, they know what a d, d, d, d 214 is. that's literally just the form for a discharge paper. so in world war two, when they discharged a lot of soldiers from world war two, they gave them several copies of a discharge paper with my grandfather. he had like almost like a microfiche little version that could then be read and expanded. the

so the captured confederate records or what some cases copied from what the former confederates had. so that's what like i said, what the cadre medical looks like and it will always tell you the volume it was taken from. so if it's a field, if it's a general hospital, in many cases it'll have a volume number and page number. so reason again, they came up with this system was before if a claim in and well you sandy willis was one of the soldier examples that had to in sandy willis was injured saint petersburg that's all that he submitted to the pension office so that's the only information that the war department had to go on. so clerks had to go through all of the various hospitals that he could have theoretically in and then go through lists of names that are non alphabetical to try to find this one person's name. so that's why it was taking so long for them to respond to the pension office. it was a very labor intensive process. so the cardio medical. definitely helped. so that's. so i failed to mention this is joshua chamberlain, so hopefully you picked up on that at the top. so t

i think of confederate, i am unfair.simple as part of the symbol of oppression. >> our first goal is to remove the racist statue and racist street names in orangeburg. and of course, the confederate flag at the creamery. we called the mayor's office, we called the city council members. >> i am excited to see what's going on in orangeburg. we are seeing people who want change. and they're not asking for change in how they're demanding. >> as we continue, we've got to do a much better job collectively of being willing to fight the fight when it's not the popular thing to do. , and if we can keep doing that, keep pushing for change than we can keep standing up>> and i loe day where i jump in my car in orangeburg, and that confederate flag is no longer flying there. >> i'm craig, melvin and i'm natalie morales. >> and this is dateline. >> lead isn't a very good anniversary gift -- >> we need an emergency, ambulance my wife has a gunshot. >> a fatal gunshot, just hours after celebrating 16 years of marriage to a police office

while protesting a white supremacist demonstration. 30 confederate monuments came down that year. that's the year i began studying our countries rules. wet it means to people who built them, and what it means to people who tore them down. here's a special presentation of what i found during my travels. this is stone ghost in the south. >> in 2017, hundreds of white nationalists descended on charlottesville, virginia to defend the monuments of robert e. lee. that marks the beginnings of 24 hour violent clashes with protesters. one person was killed. others beaten and bloody. [inaudible] [noise] >> after the unlawful assembly was declared. it was literally manifested. it felt like we won. i heard this loud bang. [noise] one car got pushed into the intersection. another car got pushed in right behind it. it was just utter chaos. >> it is hard to imagine that such a big moment, had to be in this little space. but that is common in america. these big moments and little spaces. >> absolutely. this is what we learn. all of these small spaces have set the stage for huge explosions. >> the

that's what the articles of confederation about. been there, done that, repudiating that, and ignore, mislead, consequential omission. duly noted by all the leading anti-federalists. you know, so if i say to you, i love you and you don't say i love you back, oh, you know that i'm going to notice that you know it says states or sovereignty the articles doesn't say that in the constitution people are going to people are going to kind of notice something like that. don't you think? okay. in the same spirit. article five dropped the confederation's rules that future amendments would require state unanimity. such a rule made sense for a pure league of sovereign states, the confederation, but made no sense for a newly modeled washingtonian system in which states would no longer be sovereign as they once had been. the new plan was exact what it said. it was not a league, not a confederation, not a treaty of sovereign states, but a true and indivisible constitution. obviously modeled on contemporaneous state constitutions. and in turn, thos

the republican confederation of entrepreneurship celebrated its anniversary the day before, the mainl of the union is to improve the business environment, as well as promote the interests of small and medium-sized businesses. today public-private partnerships are also coming to the fore, commercial enterprises are ready to integrate into production chains. today, the confederation, along with expanding the geography of cooperation, plans to travel international hungary iran united states of america we have in the near future an invitation from two states unconditionally. we will participate in creative activities. this is a huge success is the most authoritative large-scale union of the confederation of entrepreneurship, which builds a constructive dialogue.

for me, confederate iconography and names are the low hanging fruit of this debate. there is no reason at all that a confederate statues, a statue of someone who supported a war that was explicitly predicated on expanding and maintaining the institution of slavery -- and there's analyst evidence that they wrote, the state and individuals responsible for pushing these policies through -- that this is why they were creating the confederacy. the idea we would lift someone up on a statute or have a school named after them or street named after them when they were not only treasonous to the cause of the united states, but also were fighting a war to keep 4 million people enslaved and their descendants enslaved, to me runs counter to any notion of justice or what we espouse of the american project that we are tending to move toward. i think if you want to have a statue of robert e. lee in your backyard, that's fine. that your private property. it's strange, but your prerogative. but the fact that taxpayer dollars would maintain the statues and keep them erected in front of

as of 2021, eji identifying more than 240 schools in 19 states named in honor of confederate leaders.urder, school districts across the south and beyond pledged to rename schools named after confederate leaders. in atlanta, forest hills academy, named after one of the founders of the ku klux klan, is now hank aaron new beginnings academy. in baton rouge, lee magnet school renamed libert armagnet school. in montgomery, alabama, where three high schools have an at least 80% black population, confederate schools still remain. but school board member lisa keith argued changing the names would be more divisive than helpful. >> my perception of this whole thing is that it's divided us as a board. and it is divided us as a city. >> despite the objection, the school board had enough votes to change the names of all three schools in july 2020, but more than two years later, not much has happened. >> a lot of work to do. >> one of the major obstacles slowing them down is the alabama memorial preservation act signed in 2017 by kay ivey. will says if they change the school names without getting s

the confederation has hundreds of members across the country key event.eek of belarusian entrepreneurship is held annually in the spring. well, of course, the history of freedom is best evaluated in numbers, how much we earned, being sovereign and in unity, what does the new ideology of the wealth of belarusians from the president mean, how is it connected with our participation in international organizations such as the sco, alekseev dronin, hidden relationships between politics and economics, the author's column simple economics. hello this is a simple economy with aleksey avdonin on september 17, belarusians celebrated the day of national unity, when we talk about the history of freedom and sovereignty, it is better to evaluate events in numbers over the years of independence, the gdp of belarus has increased more than four times, it’s just that every 10 years, almost 30% increase in gdp per capita by 3-3 times is the result of our joint common work, if there were no world war ii. our population would reach 50 million people, and the gdp would be comme

it starts at its confederate social club. other similarly clubs bring up across the south and they take on an increasingly militaristic tone. you know, is is ron white was saying the big fear was that because the blacks were significant part of the vote in almost all of these southern states and i think in two of them, south carolina and mississippi blacks actually the majority of the population so blacks dared to organize politically. and vote they would, you know come to paris. so ryan white was saying exactly right that the clan violence was targeted against black political organizing and voting and there were thousands of blacks. you know who were murdered in the south of had any prosecutions? in fact, the clan really created such a reign of terror was called the invisible empire. there was no southern sheriff who would dare to arrest a member of the klan. there was no southern right who had testify against a member of the jury that would convict a member of the clans so grant very ingeniously points amos ackerman of geor

one of the first concern confederate privateer was of his captured called the savannah.ey brought the prisoners new york. they paraded them down broadway. they were manacled at the time people were jeering at them. they were thrown the tombs prison in new york. and abraham lincoln threatened to hang these confederate privateers men because he viewed them as nothing more than so. jefferson davis said, well, hold on, abe. we didn't say that. he wrote a very formal letter. he said, if you start hanging confederate privateers men, we are going to hang one for one. union soldiers that we have in our prisons. so lincoln never went through the hangman's and actually the congress of the north of the union passed a resolution that allowed abraham lincoln to issue letters of mark to the congress. they never went through with it. and after about a year and a half, the confederacy stopped issuing letters of marque because it wasn't having much an impact on the war and the alabama and the shenandoah and other confederate raiders doing a much better job of it. so after the american ci

and ukraine becomes a confederation, in which everything is preserved, like ukraine and occupied byyou seem to be leaving, but it is a confederation where it is completely different, like switzerland in fact. well, yanukovych broke yanukovych well, it was in the thirteenth year that they didn’t sound like that to us then. but no. it sounds understandable in the conditions, therefore it is interesting, therefore, of course, now they are going some processes in the ukrainian leadership, which can rather be called even not so much polarization. how many building up new political configurations it is clear that a military party is taking shape and during these 6 months it is one of such clowns, who were, basically, who were changed, hung out accused, it becomes very influential. it is clear that there is, again, a whole party that is very tough. well, they are all closed to the west, which is the tolma of everything that comes from the west, respectively there are, as it were, such indisputable leaders, as, for example, there is the duke of the world. uh, zelensky understand and underst

belarusian business will receive support from the budget of the union state , the republican confederationentrepreneurship announced the allocation of budget billions 200 million russian rubles resources will go to the implementation of programs in the field of development of industrialization of innovations such projects will be worked out with the ministry of finance and the ministry of economy, that is, the fundamental decision to allocate funds was made by the confederation there is already a business that expects that in the last quarter of the year, at the beginning of the future, the detailed filling of these programs will begin. belarusian universal commodity exchange is ready to assist enterprises of tatarstan planning to supply or purchase import-substituting products in belarus, such agreements were announced following the visit of our government delegation to the volga federal district. today, import substitution is one of the most important areas of interest for belarus to russia and launched at the base. exchanges. the electronic trading platform can contribute to the realiza

for anyone who's willing to get through the confederate. and give the word to present lincoln and young henry wing 24 years of age said i will make that effort. but before he did, so he walked over to general grant and he said is there anything that you would want me to say to president lincoln? and general grant a man of few words simply replied with these six words, please tell president lincoln there will be no turning back. there will be no turning back. one of the great joys after my public biography of grant was published was to meet general david petraeus. frank scaturro is here today who was president of the grant monument association tomorrow evening the grant monument association will present a colloquy in new york hosted by general petraeus and in conversation with ron charno and myself general petraeus ranks grant as the greatest american general with no comparison. he will tell the worry, we've done a convocation at west point together how he read grants memoirs as he prepared to lead the surge in iraq, and then he asked his ge

of two states and a conflict and russia's own, and this confederation is based only on the personalyrov. did putin understand that the war in chechnya was lost, or did they agree to pay off the ukrainian regime public tribute economic well, how did the tatar khans pay the school, and in return kadyrov somehow demonstrates moscow's loyalty, the formal keeps with chechnya 4 in the composition once and even participates in foreign policy russian adventures but this is all about putin's personal relations and when everyone knows that all the security forces hate kadyrov and are ready to simply liquidate them at any convenient moment, they did not agree with this decision of putin's will end the military in this way. kadyrov is being offered a higher position as director of the national guard there, i don’t know if it’s anyone at least a principle of the president ’s companion. what position would they not give him ? just shoot the back of the head in his office the next day, you don’t need to, he knows very well and there is no obligation that they will agree to such a resignation, they

his pallbearers are to union generals into confederate generals. at the end of his life and that's the relationships they have that went back all the way to the mexican-american war. >> in the book you cover the fact that lincoln wasn't envious but he looked over his shoulder at some point and saw grant and said oh my gosh this guide may run for president against may, right? >> yeah you did but grant thought he was that popularity was that popular with the american people but grant never had that aspiration. he really didn't want to run for political office. he was asked all the time to run for president and he said they'll may office i thought about running for was mayor of galena so i could build a wall from my house to the depot. he finishes as the general and goes back to galena illinois. there's a big sign that says general the sidewalk is gone. [laughter] that was his only political aspiration but he does get recruited. he has this admiration for lincoln and a relationship that lincoln truly believes that even he's an internal soft-spoken guy

lee -- a member of the confederate generals -- that he ends up fighting against. that's where this interesting intersection between all of these guys and these battles -- because they had fought with each other before and so, they have these established for relationships. i'll jump forward again. at grants funeral, just to show you how well respected he was across the land, 1 million people show up in new york city and line the streets. and they bring out their old uniforms. union uniforms and confederate uniforms. and they line in the streets of new york city. and his pallbearers are two union generals and two confederate generals. at the end of his life. and that's the relationship they have that went back all the way to the mexican american war. >> in the book, you cover the fact that lincoln -- he looked over his shoulder -- and thought oh my gosh, this guy might run for president. >> yeah, he did. however, grant, he thought that he was that popular with the american people. but grant never had that aspiration. he really didn't want to run for political office
