it's a very fine study of what happened between detroit and montreal. and particularly on the niagara frontier. and what taylor did was bring some of the new concerns and new considerations historians have about how to write history. race, gender, ethnicity, borders. and sort of approached his subject matter from this new perspective. and i think it's a pretty good book. now, i will say this, taylor parachuted in. he's not someone who sud identification the war for 20, 30, and 40 years, so there are some mistakes in the book. but of all those scholars who parachuted in and wrote a book on the war of 1812, his is by far the best book. i think there are some more critical of it than i am, but i think it's a very fine book. if i had to name one of the best books in the last 10, 12 years on the war, i would say his is one of the best worth reading. bruce? >> i have a comment on the hartford convention and the dissolution that came from inside the country. is this part of the demonizing of the federalists after the war, or was there a real risk that new engl

. >> i lived in detroit from 1994 through '95 and worked in detroit six years after that.w the michigan committecon right well. everyone is affected when the auto industry is affected. but what we have to see here is we have to parcel this out, remembering it was chrysler and gm that participated in the bailout. ford did not. why did they not? they did not, because they had the sound footing and management structure not to participate. and they did well. did that go bankrupt. did extraordinarily well. we have to look at that. >> what's happening in the auto industry reflects a paradox throughout the economy. gm and chrysler are back, but they are a lot smaller than they used to be, and that's juan of the reasons they are back, they were way too big, sprawling, costs out of control, things like that. same with detroit. detroit just starting to turn around. home prices fallen by something like 50%. worst city in the nation, including las vegas and other places like that. this is a major reset for the city and these companies. i think we're seeing a lot throughout the economy

detroit and invaded canada across the river. he was unwilling to assault and try to storm without carriages for his cannons and he learned that he feared and withdrew into detroit and surrendered when brock played what i called the indian card. if we have to attack in fort of the indian allies. the subtext being they will massacre everyone. he had civilians in the ft. including members of his tamly and exclaimed to a fellow officer, my god, what will i do with the civilians? rather than risk their lives, he surrendered. conventional wisdom is that hall was the goat. he was taken quebec as a prisoner of war and kept bad mouthing the government and said this guy can do us more good. they released him and he was subsequently tried and convicted by a court marshall of courtess and neglect of duty and the court recommended that he be shot. but it also recommended that the president commute the sentence because of his experience and president madison did. as a result hall was around for another 15 or 20 years and he and descendents tr

detroit, we're not going to be able to control our indian allies. they're going to massacre everyone. even exclaimed to a fellow officer, my god, what am i going to do with these civilians. rather than risk their lives, he surrender surrendered. conventional wisdom was that hall was the goat. he was taken a -- quebec as a prisoner of war. kept bad mouthing the u.s. government and said this guy can do us more good if we send him home. he was subsequently tried and convicted by a court marshall of cowardess and neglect of duty and recommended he be shot. and as a result, hall was around for another 15 to 20 years and he and his descendants tried without much success in my view, to defend what he had done. if you look at each of hall's decision, they don't look bad. each one is defensible. but the result of all the decisions together was a disaster and i cannot imagine andrew jackson, william henry harrison, winfield scott or jacob brown putting themselves in the position hall found himself in mid august of 1812 when he felt he had to surrender. they w

>> well, the british took control of detroit and all the territory along the detroit river as a result of hall surrender on the 16th of august in 1812. they subsequently placed the michigan territory under marshall law i believe for the duration of their occupation, which took place until they retreated after perry's victory, which would have been december or rather september 10th, 1813. the british withdrew from the detroit frontier and we reoccupied it. now, i think they yes, they occupied more than the fort, more than the village and actually claimed control over the entire michigan territory as a result of hall's surrender. okay. back here. >> if the british had such great control over their soldiers, how do you account for the behavior of major general proctor when he occupied detroit in his, the way he treated the french habitants who were then american citizens and the way they behaved at the river raisin, when they looked the other way when tecumseh and his men came in and slaughtered all the prisoners who were lying there waiting to be transported? >> well, you tell me what he

i mean, not just detroit. ford doesn't really have a lot of operations actually in detroit.but the whole region as a whole, you know, needs to be strong to support these companies through education, through job training, you know, through right now there's a chronic shortage of engineers and things like that. you know, even getting people with the skills to work on the assembly lines, you know, these are not easy jobs that can be filled with people without the right training. and so, obviously, fixing the problems of southeast michigan and michigan as a whole are critical to the sustainability of the auto industry. i think that, i don't want to keep people who just want to get their books signed waiting too long, so i think we'll stop it there but thank you, everyone, for your questions. thank you for coming, thank you for watching.

detroit and oakland -- there are pretty good parallels between migrants who went to detroit around the time of the first world war and migrants who came to oakland who work in the shipyards after the segregation order in 1942. in both instances, when the war ended and white workers came home and wanted their factory jobs back, officials in detroit and oakland looked around and said, why aren't these folks going back south? we are finished now. we don't need them anymore. in both instances, they were very surprised to discover that no one wanted to go back. that led to -- in detroit, a pretty quick ghetto of factory workers. after the second world war, some cops were recruited. the white power structure in detroit but the only way to make control of the ghetto was to have southern cops who knew how to do that. it immediately became an oppressive situation. i found some language in a newspaper from the detroit free press that i quoted in the book. i'm sorry, detroit news, about the ghettoization, and they actually used language of final solution. >> i don't think anybody had thought of t

this is not just a detroit revival. the japanese auto companies which were hurt by the tsunami and the earthquakes this japan and then flooding in thailand have really gotten back on their feet. they're building new more fuel efficient vehicles. all the companies, you know, the germans, the koreans are bringing new models to the u.s. because this has become such a super competitive market. when you look at what's happening in europe where, you know, auto sales are not doing well and china has put some brakes on auto sales the u.s. is is now, you know, the most profitable auto market which is why you see so much emphasis by all the companies on selling cars here. >> ifill: how much of this good news, if any, is trickling down to a city like detroit? >> not as much as you'd think. remember, in the early part of the 20th century there were 125 auto companies in detroit. there were hundreds of factories. the city became the fourth largest in america, had two million people. the city has lost two thirds of its population has

detroit, very high. flint, pontiac, these are cities with a high percentage of african-americans and democratic voters. not only is it anti-democratic, it seems to have a racial undertone in the way the legislation has been implemented that has lulled many of us to sleep. on the back end of this we're seeing it hitting african-americans, low income communities, high democratic party voting communities, hitting labor. this is not what democracy looks like. >> obviously, in a lot of towns facing these kinds of takeovers, facing having their local voting rights overruled, there are big financial problems. a lot of different kinds in these cities. do you think the concern about the overall health of municipalities in michigan is primary in people's minds or with the emergency manager law, are people worried about losing their rights? what do you see as the balance between those two levels of concern? they have a big impact on people's day-to-day lives. >> this is a false dilemma. we don't need financial -- w
