yes, steven a. douglas is more ambitious for the presidency and more ambitious for the leadership of the democratic party than he is consistent in the defense of the compromise he brokered in 1850. and, yes, the compromise or that part of it that relates to the settling of the west is, in effect, abrogated in 1854, the kansas-nebraska act, which enables slavery, in fact, to be carried into -- in principal into any territory in the west. that principal is later affirmed by the dread scott decision, which declares that, one, that as you all know, of course that slaves and black americans basically have no rights that need to be respected because they are not citizens. but it's also supports the principal that a slave is a slave anywhere and that mr. scott, mr. dread scott, was not emancipated by virtue of the fact he had lived for a considerable length of time with his owner in wisconsin. finally, you have as an outcome of the kansas-nebraska act, a civil war or the first battle of the civil war, some would s

back in washington, senator steven a. douglas correctly saw the tactical error that clay had made. douglas rescued clay's compromise and shrewdly separated the measure into five different parts. this proved essential as only four senators voted for all of the bills. separated the measure out, and different collections of senators voted for different parts of it. only four would have voted for the entire package. ultimately, much like the coach in philadelphia, the legislation did finally get through, just not as clay had envisioned. in fact, all but one of the measures that made up the compromise of 1850 passed before clay returned from rhode island. despite the failure of the omnibus approach, clay had once again played a fundamental role in saving the union. as for its importance, his biographer robert remini, by the way now historian of the u.s. house, argues that the compromise of 1850 delayed the civil war for ten years, and those ten years were absolutely essential for preserving the american nation under the constitution. had secession occurred in 1850 the country might well

steven douglas had done something similar in 1860 in the crisis of the nation, trying to take a campaign swing through the south and parts of the north and revitalize the democratic party. for the most part, after 1860, american presidential candidates sat on their front porch and other people campaigned for them and bryan went out there and campaigned at every whistle stop town in illinois and ohio and virginia and pennsylvania, new york. traveled all over america, bringing his campaign to the people. >> we want to hear from you on c-span 202-737-0001 in the eastern time zone, and 202-737-0020 in pacific and mountain time zones. we're in lincoln, nebraska, home referred to as fairview. william jennings bryan and his wife moved here in 1902. well, thomas, let's take a step back. he served two terms and he was born in salem, illinois. walk us through the early years of william jennings bryan and how he ends up here in nebraska. >> he was born in 1860, into a world being transformed. obviously, the railroad growth, the civil war that followed, 1860-1865. he was too young to serve in the ci

it focuses on henry clay, steven douglas and the impact of slavery on the compromise that preserved the union. the new york historical society, oxford university press and the bryant park corporation host this event. it is just under 90 minutes. >> -- all the way down. can you hear me? good evening. thank you, paul. and we're delight partner with the bryant park corporation and oxford university press on this exciting series. tonight's program will be followed by question and answer session and a book signing, so please do join in for both. i'm really delighted this evening to welcome author and historian fergus bordewich. he's the author of six nonfiction books. he's published and written children's books and written the jefferson pbs documentary. he's a regular contributor to smithsonian magazine mainly on subjects in 19th century american history and his articles have appears in many magazines and newspapers including the "new york times," the "wall street journal" and american heritage. his new book "america's great debate" explores the way in which slavery distorted american democr

clay goes off to rhode island to take the waters, and bill does pass piecemeal under steven douglas. clay thought and was supported on this, it will bring peace in his life. it did because he died later. within a decade of that, the civil war begins. >> he dies in 1852 and buried where? >> in lexington in the cemetery. >> right nearby. we have video of his grave site. his funeral was quite an event. a thousand mile train cortage. >> his trusted servant charles is still at his side to the very end with the funeral pyre. he's viewed people come from all over. the trains are coming in, and thousands of people in lexington for the funeral. so it's national news. >> i think the thing about that monument, there's monuments to clay. i think he's got more images in the nation's capital than any other individual, atlantic magazine in 2006 was one of the most influential americans of all time. the best to clay is not those things. i think it's the fact that henry clay kept a divided nation together. one nation united and still a working democracy and still trying hard to live up to the spirit

this time, abraham lincoln and steven douglas.as accusing of hypocrisy claiming that lincoln himself once operated a grocery store serving hard liquor, causing quite a stir. lincoln's reply, if that was the case, surely douglas was his best customer. and theodore roosevelt called taft a fathead. and taft in behind causing roosevelt followers neurotics. and moderates have seen their fair share, too. 1972, senator edward muskie of maine, then a front-runner for the democratic nomination that is until the conservative manchester newspaper ran two pieces, one accusing muskie of moving racial slurs. the second implying that muskie's wife enjoyed drinking and cursing in an unlady-like way. >> by attacking me, by attacking my wife has proved himself to be a gutless coward. >> reporter: it's also reported that muskie broke down and cried sending a message that he couldn't handle the heat and sending his campaign into a tailspin. in 1988, george w. bush let lose onmichael dukakis. saying he couldn't support the military and stating that du

so i'm thinking of john stevens, took the place of william douglas in 1976. sandra o'connor took place. the o'connor confirmation new justices while burger came on and she was a solid vote for state's rights within the federal system and for the prosecution side of the criminal procedure cases and so she gave -- she gave burger a majority to cut back on habeas corpus, they had major battles and she not so much in the burger years because it took clarence thomas to give rhenquist five solid votes to e life eat the role of the states. that was the rhenquist federalism revolution in the early 90's so she was very important addition to the court. and i know that that's not a tradition where it is in some of the states like california and i'm wondering about your thinking now, that might be something that would be good to institute in the united states supreme courts, someone has experience right there in that court to take the place of the chief justice. yeah, i mean, the whole role of the chief justice is a strange thing because the constitution itself doesn't s

i'm thinking of john paul stevens who took the place of william o douglas in 1976.sandra o'connor took potters to its place in 1981. i think the o'connor confirmation, his arrival probably of all the new justices who came on wildberger was chief justice was the most consequential because she was a solid vote for states rights within the federal system and for the prosecution side of the criminal procedure cases. she gave berger a majority of the cut back on haiti's corpus to his extreme dismay. they had major battles. she, not not so much in the burger years because it took clarence thomas coming on and replacing thurgood marshall to give chief rehnquist five solid votes. that was the federalism revolution in the early '90s. she was very important in addition to the court. >> it was interesting what you said about associate justice was elevated and that he was more effective on a practical level than justice berger. i noticed that is not a tradition in the united states supreme court to elevate a sitting justice whereas it is in some of the states like california. i

isso i'm thinking john paul stevens took the place of william o. douglas in 1976. sandra o'connor took potter stewart's to place in 1981. i think to conner confirmation -- the o'conner confirmation, justice o'conner's arrival, probably of all the new justices who came on while burger was chief justice was the most consequential because she was a solid vote for states' rights within the federal system and for the prosecution side of the criminal procedure cases. and so she gave, she gave burger a majority to cut back on habeas corpus, to justice brennan's extreme dismay. they had major battles. and she -- not so much in the burger or years because it took clarence thomas coming on and replacing thurgood marshall to give chief justice rehnquist five solid votes to elevate the role of the states. that was the rehnquist federalism revolution in the early '90s. so she was a very important addition to the court. >> i was very interested in what you said about when associate justice rehnquist was elevated to chief justice now. he was more effective on a practical level th

avuncular style closely resembling that of douglas mcarthur in a movie released in the same year and even though he takes a central role than the real stevens would have claimed for himself. but radical sheikh or radical republican sheikh has the same drawback as the predecessor, it meets out merit and blame based on what we have become, not on what americans saw in the context of what they had experienced. and in fact it seems to me that there are problems with that. the problems are not that i oppose what reconstruction was, the site of thousands and thousands of former slaves able to vote, to hold office, to sit on juries, to be judges, to be state senators. the vision of one of them sittinging in the senate seat had belonged to jefferson davis, it didn't, but that in fact is what the cartoonists seem to see this is a monumental and powerful story. the existence of two black senators of the united states who we see there between frederick douglas, let us honor, let us praise this fact and let us not kid ourselves. this reconstruction was not undone by its corruption. it was not by its incompeten incompetence. it was undone by terrorism,

douglas macarthur in another movie released the same year. even if he takes a much more central role in making the 13th amendment, then the real stevens would have claimed for himself. but radical chic or radical republican sheet has the same drawback as its predecessors. what we have become, not what americans saw in the context of what they had experienced. it seems to me that there are problems with that. the problems are not that i oppose what reconstruction was. i cite the thousands and thousands of former slaves able to bed -- able to vote, judges, to be state senators. the vision of one of them sitting in the senate seat that legendarily had belonged to jefferson davis. it did not, but that is what the cartoonist seemed to say. this was a monumental and powerful story. the existence of two black senators of the united states. between frederick douglass, let us honor this, let's praise this fact, and let's not kid ourselves. this reconstruction was not undone by its corruption. it was not undone by its incompetence. it was undone by terrorism. beind of terrorism you would familiar with today. if you have any sympathy for the postwar plan,
