ladies and gentlemen, douglas egerton. [applause] douglas egerton: thank you. nice to be back in richmond. i have already learned an important lesson, not to follow the doctor. [laughter] i will see what i can do to keep you awake. thank you for the nice introduction. here we are, the centennial of the end of the war. and the dawn of reconstruction. if you look, when lee surrenders the war is over and this union is called unstopped and then it is done. 50 years ago, secretary seward announced that they had gratified the 13 commitment, slavery was dead and the war was over and when it comes to reconstruction, it gets very confusing. in fact, when john asked me to come to speak, he wanted me to provide paragraphs about why you would want to come and hear this. and his question, why should americans care about reconstruction and well, this is not over. it goes on for a long time. so, 1866, the war was over. but a new kind of war was beginning, and that is why i titled my book the way i did. this was a new struggle, he knew more -- a new war. and of course as it wa

douglas is a town that what? agent del cueto: douglas is a town that doesn't forget.hat's what i would say. it's a town that has taught me a lot of lessons. it teaches a lot of people a lot of lessons and you have to know how to take those lessons and learn from them. sharyl: we learned a lot about the influence and the method of the drug trade on the arizona border. in the weeks ahead on "full measure," we'll take you into the tunnels that are the high-volume highways for smuggling drugs into the united states. the number and the degree of sophistication are incredible. one border agent called them scary. when we return, we move on to one of our favorite projects -- "follow the money," like the afghan air force that never left the ground. from on the billion-dollar sharyl: in today's "follow the money" -- incredible taxpayer waste in u.s. military programs to help rebuild afghanistan. at "full measure," we've reported on several giant boondoggles, as rooted out by the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction, such as the $600 million afghan air force

frederick douglas had a lot to do with that. more -- she was most certainly the most respected confidant that lincoln had that could tell him what was in the slave and free black networks. he saved 4 million slaves with the stroke of a pen. frederick douglas was in that struggle from 1838 all the way until 1863 and then some. he was also involved in other rights movements. he was at seneca falls. in 1848. what happened there? the first women's rights convention. thank you. lucretia mott was the main speaker. elizabeth cady stanton had drafted a declaration of sentiment. frederick douglass was one of 400 people who came to this little town in upstate new york in july and he urged to include suffrage on the list of declarations. and they did. if he had not been there, it might not have happened. it makes it ironic to look forward to 1865 when the pivot settlement of the civil war did not include women's suffrage. -- they were like one in the same, the two movements. hour -- this the is the negroes hour. ladies, step aside and wait

in his debates with douglas, he said he agreed with douglas in being horrified at the thought of interracial marriage. lincoln said, and i quote, judge douglas is especially horrified at the thought of the mixing of the blood of the white and black races. agreed for once. 1,000 times agreed. presumably, lincoln was purportedly speaking for himself and all white people when he said, quote, there's a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of an indiscrimination of the amal goe mags of the white and black races. his strongly express eed aversi to interracial marriage might have been insincere. according to law, lincoln replied saying the law means nothing. i shall never marry a negress but i have no objection to another man doing so. [ laughter ] >> this partly confirms my view that some of lincoln's offensive statements about african-americans pander to the prejudices of voters. the sixth definition of racism is that racism is inadequate concern for the welfare of a certain race of people. lincoln strongly favored the interest of whites over blacks. the racial disc

douglas emphasizes that statement over and over again. another thing he emphasizes is are includedople in the declaration of independence's statement that all people are created equal. he said, absolutely not. white andans all european men, and lincoln emphatically denied that. >> i'm curious what people think of the statement in the speech from april 11, 1865. the speech that gets him killed. it seems to me he is still advocating unjust racial discrimination there. no idea that uneducated whites or whites who had served in the war should be denied the right to vote. >> that is an important point. and -- >> [inaudible] >> as was pointed out this douglas when frederick gave his speech in 1865, where he said he heard lincoln call he limited black support, was so disappointed because it was so limited. that is an important speech because as it was pointed out this morning, douglas said lincoln learned his statesmanship in the school of rail splitting. you take a mall, a big hammer, and drive home the thick and of the wedge. we should have kn

douglas is absolutely not. douglas says, "it means all white, european men." lincoln denied that. >> hunter is what people think of the statement in the speech from april 11, 1865. the speech that gets and killed -- get him killed. it seems to me he is still advocating what looks like unjust racial discrimination there. that was no idea uneducated whites or white men that had not served should be denied a right to vote -- and -- servedt to vote should be denied the right to vote. i think that's important. >> when frederick douglass gave his speech in 1865 and said, "when i heard lincoln give that ieech, ini abolitionist -- and my abolitionist friends were disappointed, because we were so limited." abraham lincoln, as sydney pointed out -- abraham lincoln learned his statesmanship in the school of real estate. you insert the thin ads of the wedge into the long. you drive home the thick edge of the wedge. whatould have known lincoln was doing on april 11, 1865. inserting the thin edge of the wedge. we could count on him to drive home the thick edge of the wedge.

in his debates with douglas, he said he agreed with douglas in being horrified by the thought of interracial marriage. lincoln said, and i quote, "judge douglas is horrified at the thought of the mixing of the blood of the white and black races. a thousand times agreed." presumably, he purportedly spoke and for himself as well as nearly all white people when he said, "there is a natural discussed in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of an indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races." there is evidence to think that he expressed a version may have been insincere. in 1859, he asked lincoln why he favored the illinois law for banning interracial marriage. according to locke, lincoln said, "the law means nothing. i shall never marry a negress but i have no objection to anyone else doing so." if a white man wants to marry a negro woman, let him do it if the negro woman can stand it. [laughter] some of lincoln's defense of statements towards african-americans pander to the prejudices of voters. the six the definition is, racism is inadequate concern for the welfare of a

steven douglas of the lincoln/douglas debates he is going to be the democratic candidate in the 1860party splits over the is livery issue. steven douglas is vicious in attacking abraham lincoln because he says to lincoln you treat african-americans negroes as they were called then as if they were equals. they're not our equals. when he realizes the power of hadis rhetoric and the effect that it's having on his country, or our country, he shifts, not that he begins to embrace equality for all but he stops the attacks in the 1860 campaign. he recognized the power of rhetoric and how you can tear this country apart, if you say things without thinking. >> fascinating comparing it to today, right? >> i think so. >> fantastic. tim know thank you so much. i appreciate it. you can watch more of the political drama, the upcoming episode of ra"race for the whit house" tonight 10:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. moderated about ed by that voicu cannot mistake kevin spacey. >>> coming up next my interview with the billionaire head of a giant silicon valley of the company. surprising during the interview

douglas emphasizes that

douglas' nebraska act. new free states are the places for poor people to go to and better their condition. lincoln had been oppressed by a man who was himself oppressed. by crossing the ohio river into indiana, his father had made his own escape. lincoln was a fugitive's son and a fugitive himself. even more startling than lincoln's self-description as chattel, as human property, was his subsequent self-identification as a particular kind of slave, a fugitive slave, a runaway. in one of two interviews he granted, this one intended for circulation in support of his senate candidacy in 1858, lincoln offered this physical description of himself. if any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said i am in height 6'4" nearly, lean in flesh, weighing on an average 180 pounds, dark complexion, coarse black air, gr hair, no other marks or brands recollected. many might have missed lincoln's allusion. at the end of his seemingly bland self-portrayal, what did it mean? no other marks or brands reco

and so brown met with douglas i! chambersburg in franklin county, pennsylvania at a quarry and asked douglas to join him. douglass said no. douglass would later write that he didn't join brown because he thought that brown was walking into what douglass referred to as a perfect steel trap. but that was written with years of reflection. we don't know what douglass thought in 1859. we haven't discovered that yet. it may be out there. it was a secret meeting and douglass said i will not join you. so brown was committed. he was fervent. and he believed god -- this was a moment. he truly believed this was the moment that brought the opportunity for best success and john brown was absolutely committed to his firm belief that god was calling him, directing him, supporting him and would lead him wherever. so he was very unique in comparison to other abolitionists because he was willing to use violence and he already had to use violence. violence had been utilized in kansas. kansas is a very violent place. many of us like to

let's hear it for professor douglas brinkley [applause]. let's begin with this being the centennial of the national park service, envision what the national park system would be like without the advocacy of the two president roosevelt's. >> thank you for being here, i am very thrilled to be in tucson. i come here every chance i got. i am launching my book here at your festival because a because a lot of this is a bout arizona. and the beautiful places here, all of the grand canyon state magazine places fdr is really responsible for preserving, the civilian conservation corps for building roads and places to get to. a lot of the wildlife here in wild arizona from sheep and antelope, were all protected by fdr. when we talk about the national park service the first national park is 1872 with ulysses as grants. it is not the centennial and that cents. the revolution and the the revolution in the idea of national parks and public land the preservation kicks off with the presidency of theodore roosevelt from 1901 until 1909. he believed that demo

frederick douglas in speculating how reconstruction would have evolved had lincoln lived. it's a what if scenario that has been pondered by lay historians for a century in a half but seldom in a skillful, thoughtful informed and reader friendly context. this morning i was remembering when the late professor william lee miller who was never a fan of what ifs, what if the south won the war talked about the time during the civil rights era when a student, very sincere young man approached him and said professor miller, what do you think lincoln would have had to say about bussing? and bill miller looked at him and said well, i believe mr. lincoln would have said what's a bus?

douglas: that is for sure. this is marco rubio's last stand, and the polls look so dreadful for him in his home state. trump seems to have had a surge in the last week of the polls, and some have marco rubio not fighting for first place but for second place behind ted cruz. will it be as big a bloodbath as the polls predict? thane doing much better people think. but even in rubio's public statements, you are starting to see a trickle in of a sense of resignation that he will not win this. if he defies the polls -- and it has happened in this cycle -- it would definitely be the upset, the comeback of the year. over: and really, walk us what we are seeing on the democratic side. we are expecting hillary clinton to consolidate her lead. obviously all are about -- obviously the primers all are delegates. the only hope for the other candidates that donald trump falls short of the 50% majority that he needs, to get the nomination outright. trump, it is either going to be trump getting the most votes or on the democra
