confederate troops are in the city of fredericksburg. and here's what is going to transpire throughout those five months while these armies are to one another in winter and camp, it it. so this man right here is, a private from the 18th georgia named milton barrett. he and his regiment held one of these 24 hour shifts on picket duty. and upon returning to camp the following day, he wrote home in a letter his brother and sister, he writes, a regiment has just come picket. we stood close together. oh, thank you. thank you. we stood close together and could talk to each other. then when the officers were not, we exchanged. we manage this. a small boat. some of our boys went over and actually stayed a while. the yankees would us know when to come back. this correspondence has to be kept secret from the officers. so he was very excited to tell his brother sister that he did something bad right. imagine a teenager the rules on the other side of the river, one of these yankees that he was speaking to is a soldier from the 100 and or sorry 71st

we have this kind conversation about confederate monuments. often it's framed it as a reckoning with decisions of another time of the mood of another era. but when a school board too de, says, we are going to honor stonewall jackson we have to consider what they are telling us today that they think about the people who live in this community i want to read for you what the coalition for better schools that pushed for this locally, what they said, they said that we believed that revisiting this decision is essential to honore our community's heritage and respect the wishes of the majority. the heritage, not hate justification to that. you say what i think it's important to remember our heritage to honore our heritage, to honor our history, remember our history. >> in most importantly to learn from our history and to me the most important lesson from the civil war was really simple slavery was wrong and slavery that was justified by a strong belief and white supremacy that white people at the top of a racial hierarchy, and black people on the bo

the confederates gathered 5,000 people and occupied the zamosc fortress, which was defeated by alexandervich suorov. the lithuanian crown hetman aginsky gathered 800 confederates, but was defeated by suvorov in the battle of stolovich. general viominil, sent by the french government, captured the krakow castle, but after 3 days he was besieged by suvorov. in 1972, in result. part of the russian empire, this status turned out to be very painful for poland and its national consciousness. we often underestimate the severity and drama of the loss of national independence for the poles. but some things weren't entirely bad. a representative of the highest polish aristocracy, adam czartarijski, became a friend and heir to the russian throne of alexander. alexander promised his friend. after the defeat of napoleon, most of the warsaw hertz at the vendian congress was transferred to russia and formed its composition autonomous kingdom of poland. alexander gave the poles a constitution, which did not exist in russia, and taught the sejm, that is, parliament. and here the liberal ideas that young

memorials to a nameless, nondescript confederate soldier. this one on the screen was erected in 1886 in baton rouge. soon after the conservative redeemer democratic forces that ran the state successfully fought to remove the capital out of new orleans. why did they remove the capital from new orleans to baton rouge? it's because new orleans represented the highest black population in the state. a black population with newfound power, voting power. over 770 statues like this were erected throughout the south, many resembling this one alone soldier standing on a pedestal, always placed in a prominent site or building. city hall. a town courthouse house. a town square. those 770 plus statues made up over 1500 public symbols dedicate added to the confederacy statues, monuments, roads, schools, buildings, bridges, plaques, military bases, parks. they joined the confederate flag, which flew just about everywhere throughout the south. the vast majority of this 1500 were dedicated between. the 1890s and the 1950s, matching up exactly with the era of

former confederate states were passing what were known as the black codes. these horribly discriminatory laws that sought to return formally enslaved people to a condition that very closely resembled slavery and johnson or the congress tried to respond to this by passing legislation to establish the basic civil rights of all citizens, regardless of race, and also to establish that citizenship begins birth. if you're born in this country, that's what the 14th amendment does in part. well, johnson opposes all reconstruction measures. he opposes the civil rights act, a bunch of freedman's bureau acts as reconstruction that are passed during 1860s, which congress winds up passing over his veto. he opposes the 14th amendment, even though the president doesn't have a direct say in that. well, when it came time for impeachment, you know, grant was someone who had been consulting with congressional leaders, and he became closer and closer to republicans in congress who, came to have a supermajority that's why they were able to override johnson's vetoes. grant came t
