. >> coming up next on booktv denver brunsman and his book "the evil necessity: british naval impressment in the eighteenth-century atlantic world." >> the british empire in the 18th century was really a maritime empire. they depended heavily on trade and the various colonial territories. we are especially concentrated in the atlantic. the only way that they could resupply those ships, in that way america was introduced to the underside of this british system. in many ways, they benefit from and what was being involved in being a bigger subject. it was always one of the most unpopular parts of the british empire. one of the things that we forget that americans today is that many love to be part of this. it was something of an aberration. but there were these issues that emerged early on. during the american revolutionary era, it was incredibly unpopular in the 1760s leading up to be one of the grievances against george the iii. he was captured by the british. so they really had no choice. the american revolution ended in 1783. a decade later, the french revolutionary and napoleonic wars,

my name is denver brunsman. i have the privilege of teaching a class at mount vernon. i would like to welcome the president and his wife, their first time to celebrating george washington's birthday with us. thank you so much. one thing historians love to study is how certain policies and programs either. over into the new administrations, or don't. we have started this -- we started this traditions seven years ago, but having an intellectual component as the centerpiece of our celebration for george washington's birthday. we have looked at the positives, the negatives, and everything in between. it should be this way for an enlightened figure who championed the free intellectual ideas that serve as the foundation of this university that probably bears its name. on the 286th anniversary of washington's birthday, we are in for a treat. we welcome a distinguished scholar and historian, who will discuss washington and american indians. following his remarks, he will take questions from the audience, so get them ready. immediately following a lecture, there will be a recep

[applause] >> i'm going to take my seat next to you. thanks for being here. kristen: mr. doherty, give us a sense of the data. how would you rate overall knowledge about civic engagement. based on everything i have read, we are getting better but have a long way to go. professor doherty: it often depends, as the annenberg survey showed, our survey, all surveys about civic literacy and political awareness, it depends on how u.s. the question. -- how you ask the question. but it is a mixed bag. last year we did a major survey on democracy. how the public views democracy. one question we asked, what is important to be a good citizen? obviously, voting. 91% say that is important. look at the darker bars. this is where you see variance. 49% say it is very important to follow what happens in government and po

in alexandria, virginia, with the help of our local cable partner, comcast, we sat down with denver brunsman to discuss the navy shall. his book is "the evil necessity british naval impressment in the eighteenth-century atlantic world." it's next here on booktv. >> the british empire in the 18th century was really a maritime empire. as an island nation they depended really heavily on trade and controlling really the trade of the colonial territory. well, they need a very powerful navy, and the navy needed men. and so british naval ships really sell the world, but were specially consecrated indialantic. and this is how the system affected american colonists. when british naval vessels came into very sports, they often lost in because of the three d's, death, disease and desertion. the only way that they could resupply the ships was to capture colonists. so in that way, america was introduced to really what i can think of as the nasty underside of the british system that in many ways they benefited from and appreciated but they got some hand at, you know, what was really involved in the obliga

denver brunsman. yeah it's good watching this have been fun everyone. thank you for listening watching to this episode ofit's good to . today, we've been talking we're going to be talking about the ohio dynasty of us presidents and as we've already discussed, ohio had been moving from the periphery to the center of u.s. politic before the civil war and then, of course, played central leadership role in that war itself. and this trend is going to continue. the war in one of the most remarked about political dynasties in u.s. history, one that's often been compared to the virginia dynasty of the early republic. both virginia and ohio laid claim to the mother presidents title, even to the point of fighting over poor old william harrison in all of his 30 days in office. but even taking old tippecanoe out of the equation. i'm not really sure it's a fair fight i mean, for example, the virginia dynasty has some of the most famous and influential presidents in u.s. history, including the likes of washington and jefferson, madison, ohio. on the other hand, has a
