what rubbish john dickinson had said in that speech. the french will surely wait for us to start winning on the battlefield. the event of the military campaign, dickinson said, would be the best evidence of our strength, not some piece of paper you guys write today. dismissed at the time, john dickinson proved to be prescient, as it was only when the continental army routed british forces at the battle of saratoga in october of 1777 that france finally began the formal negotiations that would culminate in the treaty of commerce with the united states signed in february 1778. it was only then when france finally got off the sidelines that britain's other european rivals agreed to do the same. the dutch republic and spain were the next to sign on in the war effort against the british. in so doing, they recognized the united states as a free and independent country. after britain's defeat at yorktown, britain too would have to do the same. in article i of the treaty of paris signed in october 1783 to mark the end of the war and the coming

draw a direct line to me now all the way back to the liberty song, which was written yeah by dickinson and 1768 or whenever it was and what he was trying to say. so it protest songs have been there all along. we just know more about it because of the 60, yeah and protest and patriotism when you think about it are two sides of the same coin. they're two wings of a bird to pick your metaphor. so in january 1966 ed sullivan comes on the air he had imagine. this is a great show. he had dinah shore. the four tops the frosty the snowman voice the comedian and a guy named barry sadler who was a green beret this song became the number one song in america in 1966 no, no, but wait is it but this is the trilogy the trilogy. all right, i think hit rewind. okay. okay. okay. do they have green beret? right before this one's green beret. no. all right, green beret. but what was what was so incredible about the song? that you can speak to john as sergeant sadler standing there ramrod straight. oh, yeah performing this song about of green beret and fighting and coming on is so patriotic and so moving a

it starts as soon as the accounts we got from susan dickinson, i'm blanking on her first name coming out and her having a morphing and evolving accounts of what happened when she left the alamo and joe, the slave who was there on the premises also having an evolving account but that's very early and then there's news reports and all sorts of various different stories coming out about what happened there and how much can we ever really know ? in addition to that, the story evolves that historians get their closet and you get much is there which is the bible for a lot of folks and certainly his book i've read. so yes, there's and consider kind of the gold standard for a lot of folks. so talk about the evolution of the propaganda and propaganda in all the forms of that word. propaganda doesn't always have to be a bad word. >> this is chris especially. >> he was getting drunk on the grasses while william travis send his famous letters begging for reinforcement, promising victory or death. and as soon as houston found out that the alamo had fallen within 72 hours he propagated this myth t

i was surprised to read about this from the dickinson mount, is that right? talking about theintroduction of agriculture and i hear people bringing this up now . and i'm always a little bit it seems like a strange idea but a really interesting one so what's was forming a mistake? ? you interrupt that development? >> it's a fascinating question and i allude to it at the end really. the book starts with this. there's a long opening chapter about what i call the long ceiling.there's basically what i mentioned before that average life expectancy around the world was about 35 and it didn't matter what where you were area we believe that was the case all the way back to kind of three agricultural times. and that that study existing hunter gatherer societies are also creating archaeological sites and doing analysis of damage and things like that so ahunter gatherers might have lived about 30 years on average and had a similar childhood mortality rates to people in europe until 1700 or 1800, about 35, 45 percent so we are really all that different. from pre-civilizat

my name is elizabeth dickinson. i'm a senior analyst for columbia international crisis group. we're a conflict prevention organization and i've spent the last 2 months delinquent this across the country, both in rural and urban areas get to happy and natalie, explain your connection to the current protests in columbia and introduce yourself, try international audience. thank you very much. and now one of the members, she's an independent clinic from waiting on that on the co worry the test we are actually doing different activities around the different floor. and in the teach. so i have an idea of why these protests are ongoing. why people didn't just go home and say, wow, that was amazing. we actually feel we overturned the patch reform proposal. my idea is it's cove it. but if you're watching right now on your youtube, you can jump into a comment section off, i guess your questions. i be part of today's show, elizabeth, i'm thinking that coverage is connected to why people didn't go home. these demands have grown. you'll take absolutely. so i think the way that it was descri

diaries sherman's official reports abolitionist sermons popular songs poems by whitman by melville by dickinson. it's everywhere. we understand this war in descriptions based on landscape and weather and from that i began looking again at the landscape paintings in order to understand how they incorporated that same imagery at particularly important moments in our history to point to one. that's just to my left here san for gifford's twilight in the catskills is not one of his exuberant light struck views where the cat skills look like. god has simply blessed it with this. edible light if you look closely at it, it almost looks as though the entire foreground are glowing embers in a fireplace the trees on either side are not just dead trees that happens. naturally. they are burnt trees. there are no burnt trees in american landscape painting up until this point and this seems to be that descending darkness one of the reviewers who saw this picture invoke john milton's paradise lost, and it's called it darkness visible and it was from a passage that more people would have understood than we do n

it starts as soon as the accounts we got from susan dickinson i'm blinken on a first name coming out in her having an evolving account of what happened when she left the alamo and then joe the slave on the premises having an evolving account this all sorts of various different stories coming out about what really happened there. and how much could we ever really know. in addition to that the story evolved the book i read sure a lot of people have is considered the gold standard for some folks. talk about the propaganda the evolution of the propaganda. that does not always have to be a bad word, right? it's getting washington on the grasses were william travis' famous letters of begging for reinforcements, promising victory or death. and as soon as houston found out the alamo had fallen, within 72 hours he propagated this myth the defenders of the alamo or equivalent, you see that exact phrase used in the texas propaganda sheet within 72 hours of finding out. next thing you know santa ana was on schedule. and then we see houston's men sit down and sit down with joe and then all of the

that war propagandists, including some of the individuals you see here, frederick douglass, anna dickinson, and henry highland garnet, emphasized his supposedly sponsor ability's that able-bodied african-american men had to emancipate their enslaved southern brethren. this rhetoric claimed demonstrating one's patriotic manhood would allow them to acquire full citizenship, including voting rights, possibly. war propagandists collectively argued the racial disk that all united states troops soldiers would experience some form of racial destroy nation. even so, potential recruits were told to focus on ending slavery while simultaneously proving african-american manhood paralleled their white counterparts. in doing so, it could lead to them obtaining rights, such as suffrage rights or the protection of civil rights and refuting negative racial stereotypes all through military service. unfortunately, for many northern african american families, wartime mobilization ignored the dire economic situations that they experienced in american society. the removal of able-bodied african american men hin
