davis was shocked. he replied that such a sudden retreat would mean to the loss of norfolk and perhaps of the virginia and other ships under construction there. johnston agreed to wait. for one more day. on the night of may 3/4, his army stealthily left the yorktown line and began a retreat towards richmond. the confederates fought a rear guard battle with the federallings pursuing at women williamsberg, continued in a new line. norfolk did fall to the yankees and the virginia's crew had to blow her up because her draft was too great to get up the james river. davis was dismayed by these developments. he allowed his anguish to week la a letter to johnston lamenting what davis called the drooping cause of our country. the as citizennible purpose of this letter was to prod johnston into carrying out davis' earlier orders to group regular meants together as a boost to morale help told johnston, some have suppressed surprise at my patient with you when orders to you were not observed. johnston recognized th

davis was depressed. thus ended the program, he wrote his wife from which we expected much and which i was hopeful. and almost the same thing happened again one week later. once more he plan to attack the right flank north of the chickahominy and he called off her davis, who had again ridden out to watch the battle. at this time he decided instead to attack the one nearest to richmond. he explained later that he did not tell davis of this change. but he said to do so would transfer this to his shoulders. and so johnson decided the peculiar notion meant that he first learned of this general's plan of attack when he heard artillery firing on the afternoon of may 31. he quickly left his office and mounted his horse and rode towards the sound of the done. when he arrived near the village of seven pines, just a few miles from richmond, which gave its name to the battle, he saw johnston writing way to the front and davis' aides were convinced that the general had left in order to avoid davis and the battle was

and the marriage between jefferson davis and ver reena davis. we're even going to start a little bit before that and i want to tell you about jefferson davis' first marriage. jefferson davis was married to -- does anyone know who his first wife was? you get a gold star if you do. yes? close, not polk. it was a president's daughter. a later president's daughter. thank you. excellent. i wish i could throw candy into the audience. good job. that's right. it was zachary taylor's daughter, knoxsy, sara knox taylor. she was pretty and feisty and jefferson davis was completely beed soed with her. and she with him and they exchanged wonderful love letters, only a few of which survive. but knoxy and jefferson davis, zachary taylor at the time did not like davis. he opposed the marriage. did not come to the wedding when they eventually married. later zachary davis and jefferson would become close friends but at this point it was not working out and it was really because zachary taylor did not want his daughter to have a military life like his wife had had

davis tried to rally the stragglers. i am president davis and he shouted. follow me back to the field. some of them data. by did. by the time he reached the headquarters where he found them sending reinforcements to the front it was clear that they had won the battle. union troops were in the retreat. davis went further forward in the justice soldiers cheered him to the echo. that evening he met with johnston at their headquarters. davis wanted to organize a pursuit and he suggested one of the generals order such a movement. they remained silent presumably because as the commander-in-chief davis was now in charge. he began to dictate in order that on that reflection and further information about the disorganized nature of the confederate army and more consultation they concluded that in the darkness and effective pursuit was impossible. the next morning had the rain and the confederate troops brought them to a halt. now even though it was davis who was eager to follow up the victory aggressively an impression grew up in the south that it was he who had disc

not davis was so angry at johnston that a renewed offer seemed impossible. but after bribes disastrous defeat in chattanooga in november the pressure on davis to a point johnston became overwhelming. davis first actually he did name general party to the post he did not feel up to the task to leave the that afflicted organization. so in the end davis had nowhere else to go than johnston who became the army commander december 1863. johnston said to work to reorganize the army to prepare it for the spring offensive by sherman that everybody knew was coming. was helped that johnston could steal a march to launch a preemptive defensive that may turn them back on their heels of from johnson's headquarters in tour jack davis steady stream of dispatches describing the deficiencies that made offensive impossible. the army has not entirely recovered its confidence johnston informed davis. the artillery is deficient the horses are not in good condition the troops have neither subsistence northfield transportation. the enemy of numbers almost two / one. abraham lincoln

they went back and had to tell davis no. davis still hope something could be won.e was the last confederate standing. after most confederates recognized it was all over, lee himself, davis can still hope to continue to fight. >> how would the country have been different if lincoln had survived? >> the reconstruction process, it would have been more successful unless acrimonious. the problem was andrew johnson was from tennessee. he had been a democrat. he had been put on the ticket to broaden the appeal of the republican party which called itself the union party. once lincoln was gone johnson reverted to his southerness. that set up the polarization between the president and the republican majority of congress that affected the formation of a reconstruction policy and led to johnson's impeachment in 1868. he was one vote short of being convicted. >> what is the biggest misconception of abraham lincoln? i'm taking advantage of the that you've written about him. >> the biggest misconception is that he is this jokester storyteller, a lightweight who somehow -- >> the

i think where lee would have been critical-- critical of davis might have been in davis's decision to replace joseph johnston as command of the second largest confederate army and to replace him with john bell hood and to support hood's aggressive counterattacks against sherman. there are some other decisions that might be questioned by jefferson davis but you can say the same thing about lincoln, you can say the same thing about any leader in a war. >> rose: who was jefferson davis's greatest general? >> lee no question about it. i think there's no question that lee was the greatest general of the confederacy. >> rose: was he the greatest-- was he a better general than -- >> i don't think so. maybe tactically, could manning armies on the battlefield itself. but i think grant had a broader strategic vision of what was necessary to win this war. grant, i think, was stronger in his understanding of the importance of logistics than lee. so when grant became general and chief an was responsible for all union armies, he was in the right place. >> rose: why did lincoln choose grant? >> beca

(laughter) >> davis is leading.ally manipulating him to lead in a certain way. >> stephen: why did the south lose the civil war? >> i think the better way to ask that question is why did the north win the civil war. >> stephen: let me ask it again. why did the south lose the civil war? (applause) my show, my question. (laughter) why did the north win? >> the north won because it developed a better leadership by the latter two years of the war that could make use of the north's superior resources. the north had more people, a stronger economy, more guns, more butter, but at first they didn't employ this advantage very successfully, but by the last year or two of the war, lincoln had put together a winning team of grant and sherman and sheridan and thomas and lincoln's own political leadership, and that eventually carried through to a victory. >> stephen: can i point out something? can we have a close shot of this? there's the cover. there's jefferson davis right there. i want to point out something to you. if i do th

but davis lacked confidence in beauregard, too. he was in davis' eyes, almost potentially as bad a choice as johnston himself. davis really felt that he was forced to choose the lesser of two evils, beauregard or johnston, and the pressure -- most of the pressure was to -- in behalf of johnston and so finally he, holding his nose, i think, figuratively, did appoint johnston. good ahead. >> your turn next. >> thank you. of course, it's commonly known that so many of these northern and southern generals were all -- all knew each other at west point, but was there an open or common analysis among the confederate generals as well as davis in looking at mcclellan's performance and then estimating what he probably would not do, particularly when he was facing johnston? why did no one else except lincoln see he had a case of the slows. >> other people did see he had a case of the slows, especially lee. when lee became commander of the army repeatedly took advantage of what he knew would be mcclellan's sluggishness and caution and defensiv

davies: our basic rearch program is to study large pieces of forest. we set up these research plots which are 50 hectares in area, typically -- so that's a kilometer by half a kilometer -- in which we study every single tree species that occurs in those areas. we do it all one by one. we go out, we start at the corner of these big plots and we tag and map and measure every tree bigger th a centimeter in diameter. that's as big as a little sapling in your garden. and we monitor everything. we have, in some of our research plots, more species of trees than the whole of north america or the whole of europe. that's a phenomenal number of species -- 1,000 species or 1,200 species in one plot. narrator: at 17 forest-dics plots throughout latin america africa, and asia davies' project, in collaboration with the arnold arboretum of harvard university, maintains an active database of more than 3 million trees of 6,000 species. dr. davies: this is a huge data set, which no one else in the world is doing this kind of research. and the idea of doing it right acros

we aren't sure exactly how old joe davis was one he passed away. the interesting part of the story is after jefferson davis abandoned his family and was reassigned, he asked for the hand of sarah taylor, zachary taylor's daughter. zachary taylor resisted the marriage for reasons we can only imagine, but subsequently when jefferson davis the military, he did in fact to marry sarah taylor, and they lived in mississippi. it's a retailer died briefly after they became -- sarah taylor died briefly after they became married. joe davis is well-known in these parts and is part of the fascinating history of two very important figures in our history, zachary taylor and jefferson davis. >> american history tv is featuring green bay, wisconsin. the city is home to the green bay packers, the nfl's third oldest franchise. founded in 1919, the team is the only nonprofit, community-owned major professional sports team in the u.s. our time warner cable partners when weith c-span staff travel to green bay, wisconsin. >> we are at heritage hills historical state park

davis is going to say it -- he knows were then commanders do. we will take what advice davis gets. he had a way of talking to him. jefferson davis commanded the war department essentially the way adolf hitler is going to command in world war ii. i am not comparing them as being war criminals. hitler wanted control over everything -- the minutia of the war. that is going to tie down his commanders. hitler would never give the commanders the atomic me he needed. he wouldld to lee, but not give that to a man like joseph johnson. he would not listen to his commanders. in 1864, jefferson davis is going to go up and give a speech. he is going to say, our cause is not lost. sherman cannot keep up his long lines of communication, and sooner or later retreat he must. the retreat will be reenacted. he is talking about the attack at the margins of the siege. is comparing it to napoleon's invasion of russia. jefferson davis in the south had was georgia does not get a tough winter like moscow to drive away the union army. this is after hood had done most of his damage. to give one point, when h

davis, you have said you would be in favor of providing drivers permits. why should they get special treatment? could this create a registry of second-class individuals? >> i do not believe it creates special treatment for undocumented immigrants. driving that people are on our roads across the state today who do not have the appropriate training and you're notinsured -- who are insured. unless we create some system that provides a driver permits for every driver on the road, we cannot assure those two things. other states have successfully done this, requiring an exchange for the permit, special training to make sure we have saved drivers on the road, and proof of insurance. in my time at the texas senator, i heard repeatedly from people who were involved in accidents with uninsured drivers, in many instances, who were not in our state or country legally. i believe these driver permits and the requirement of insurance is important to keep all drivers safe on the road. >> we now have time for rebuttal. >> what should undocumented immigrants do in the meant

they want to implicate jefferson davis. and other members of the davis administration. this is anng all of fortress monroe -- not all of this, but for most of it, he is in fortress monroe, and then he is moved comfortably into a home where his wife does get to visit. the issue is what is going to happen to jefferson davis? my colleague is riding a book about this, which is very important. about why davis is not brought to trial. that is the goal, to have wirz as leverage to implicate davis. he intends to do that. that is one reason why they call him a martyr to the lost cause. to the end, he will not give up jefferson davis. he will insulate him from prosecution. wirz is hanged. it is a visible thing. his body is cut down. i should say this is not a pretty thing at all. after he is cut down, his body is autopsied. sorry. this may take a second to work out. first of all i should say public executions by this time were well known in america but not so much because they happen on american soil. schoolkids would have been very familiar with the executions in england during

we drew straws and quongman davis gets the first question. >> congressman davis you pivotted from wanting to repeal and replace the affordable care act. what has changed? >> nothing has changed. i don't believe i've pivotted at all. i've been clear since i was a candidate for this office and since i've been serving. i would be for repealing and replacing and i've led the charge to make fixing to the affordable care act and i'm going to continue do do that. my latest fix was a hire more heroes act. it came from my advisory board to ensure veterans who are receiving their healthcare wouldn't count toward the affordable care act 50 employee limit and that would incentivize small businesses to hire more heroes that. went to legislation. it passed the house of representatives with only one no vote. you can't get much more bipartisan than that. it's waiting in the senate to be heard. it passed the house again as part of a larger package and it sits in the senate with over 380 good pieces of legislation, many common sense fixes to the affordable care act. >> spevingically what would you change o

davis deafs no. the program itself -- we can't throw the baby out with the bath water because the same program has given dewitt county a humvee, and do you know what the sheriff's office does with that? sends deputies out when it's snowing and it's easy, and he pulls stranded motorists out of the ditch. these are good things that are being done by excess military equipment, and we have to be very diligent in making sure that we don't get rid of those opportunities. we have to make sure that we address the visuals that we saw in ferguson with the mrap, but we also have to make sure that those driving through dewitt county get an opportunity to get served by the sheriff too. >> moderator: quickly, a question about climate change. >> yes, very quickly. the first question goes to you, congressman. do you believe that climate change is real and that it's manmade, and what could the federal government do to reduce the effects of climate change? davis: oh, i've been clear. i've said climate change is real.
