not so, douglass.years of age, he is still a slave and the victim of repeated whippings by a brutal new owner. one day, he decides he must resist or be killed. he bravely fights back. douglass is never punished again. but freedom from abuse is not enough to quench his thirst for liberty. at least he is soon hired out to yet another owner as a fieldhand. william freeland. you couldn't invent such a name. recognizes something special. not enough to liberate him, of course, but at least enough to allow douglass to start a school where he is soon teaching 40 other enslaved people how to read. within years he is now working in a maryland shipyard but required to turn all of his wages over to his owner. he meets a free woman of color named anna murray and gets engaged. when his master orders him back home for punishment for attending a revival meeting, douglass believes he will be sold south. and he resolves to take anna and escape. on september 3, 1838, he leaves baltimore by train, then switches to a steam

today you will have read the life of frederick douglass. there are some things i want you to understand and pick up on. slave narratives are a genre. they exist just like letterwriting exists. you alright e-mails, you are following a formula, even if you do not think you are. -- you all write e-mails, you're following a formula, even if you do not think you are. he has an argument for something written in his own hand. presumably a white person might have written the text and given the credit to a slave or former slave. you will see that, that genre had already been put in place at that time, frederick douglass has this piece published. but also slave narratives worked hard to talk about how horrible the slave experience was. these narratives were written and published almost exclusively by abolitionists and they were intended for abolitionist audiences. frederick douglas does interesting things -- frederick douglass does interesting things in that set genre. he talks about a woman who taught him how to read. he is not lucky. slavery does n

this is what frederick douglass is doing. in the narrative, it is how the textual evidence -- are whites going to see it? the answer ultimately will be no. they don't see it. they can't see the suffering as redemptive for the people of the nation as a whole. this comes later. so, what happens in this particular case, the way in which slaves take on the text, recognize within the text their own experience and try to help others see how that experience is being carried out. by the way, it still with us. in the 20th century, you are going to get preachers and sociologists, w.e.b. dubois is going to pick up on this as well as. there is something in the african-american community that will make it better but they have to pay attention to them. they have to pay attention to that experience. ok? let's take a step back for a moment. when you are reading the book of galatians, one of the things you are going to point out, besides this idea of neither slave nor free -- i want you to think about it and then we will talk. how does the sl

that is what douglass says was the end of the civil war. he gave it to that kind of significance, the end of the great flood and the possibility of new life. douglass interpreted this as indeed a new beginning of a new history that he couldn't wait to be a part of. host: let's see if we can get a couple more calls. diane, you are with david blight. i'm sorry, it's also oklahoma -- it's tulsa, oklahoma. caller: did general lee and general grant get to be friends after the civil war? did they communicate with each other after it was all over with, or did they go their separate ways and get on with their own lives? david: no, grant and lee did not become friends. they did communicate. there is no question they communicated. within a year -- lee only lived to 1870. grant of course will live until 1882. they had very different -- in fact fundamentally different interpretations as to what this actually meant. the terms of surrender they signed had different meanings to the two men. lee interpreted appomattox as a surrender among soldiers and he t

frederick douglass said, i could live for the slaves, but john brown could die for them. whose law was right? let's look at lincoln himself. lincoln was much more steeped in religion than what is acknowledged. he read the bible often. he did not belong to a church, but he read the bible. he had written an anti-christian pamphlet early in his career, but in his own way, he was very religious. he often thought about god. he even approached the cabinet about putting god in the constitution. when he was approached by some religious people. he also issued nine proclamations of prayer on thanksgiving. thomas jefferson didn't even issue one proclamation of prayer on thanksgiving. because he thought it was a combination of church and state. jefferson davis issued 10. they were having a competition there. in lincoln's case, it gives rise to this visionary rhetoric, the house divided, which is from the bible. the gettysburg address, "one nation under god." the second inaugural address has 14 mentions of god, three mentions of prayer and four biblical citations. in a way, a lot of h

douglass was hit in the pelvis and the main artery. after coming out of a coma he found out his former supervise had died. >> i was in shock he wasn't someone that would sit back and say do this guys, do that, he was out making dui arrests and drug arrests. >> douglass has remained close to dixon's widow and his children. he said the extended search for eric frein caused him a lot of emotional pain, but he was relieved but moved to tears when for the reason -- frein was captured. >>> at the national semi mother outside ever -- cemetary outside of washington, d.c., service members placed a fileting on each -- placed a flag on each grave in the cemetary. >> here's tech bytes. >> reporter: airline pilots texting in the cockpits. >> reporter: they will be using a new texting system designed to speed up clearing flights for takeoff. it will start this summer. get read for a whole new set of i i am -- imogs coming next year. there's a new bacon imogis. they will join all the others in june 2016. you know the password recover question, a new

dixon died and douglass was wounded.oday dixon's parents spoke in the church in the same region of the pocono mountains where accused killer eric frein spent 48 days on the run. brian say their christian faith teaches them to forgive and that he's helped them avoid becoming bitter. frein has pleaded not guilty. prosecutors are seeking the the death penalty. >>> when it comes to school spring trip was just about the best part of the school year at least for me it was. >> absolutely. one maryland woman who has lived a hundred years just went on her first one. fox's bob barnheart talks to this amazing lady. >> reporter: vivian bailey has been all around the world and seen a bit of everything in her 97 years, but this is the place that she keeps coming back to, the peaceful bench that was dedicated to her outside of the main entrance to running brook elementary school. >> it is miss bailey, you can never stop learning. >> reporter: principal troy todd considers miss bailey the school's guardian angel. she lives nearby here i

for today you would have read the bed of life of frederick douglass. i importing him out here because what we talk about the text on monday, there are some things i want you to understand and pick up on. slave narratives are genre. they exist, just like letter writing exists. when you write e-mails, you are following a formula even if you don't think you are. slave narratives have the ability to set up -- in the beginning, you will see an argument -- this is written in his own hands. the reason you want to make that claim by a white person is presumably a white person may have written the text and given the credit to the slave or former slave. you will see, the genre had already been put in place by the time frederick douglass has this piece published. also, slave narratives were tarred to talk about how horrible the slave experience was. these narratives were written and published on this exclusively by abolitionists and intended for abolitionists audiences. douglas does interesting things within that already set genre. one of those is he spends and a

' birthday, because black people also celebrated frederick douglass' birthday. so what woodson was trying to do was celebrate a people rather than two individuals. but carter g woodson becomes an historian because of the civil war. he becomes a historian because he works in a coal mine in west virginia with a lot of civil war veterans. and he cuts his teeth on history talking to those veterans, and he learns from them that black people had played a critical role in their own emancipation. mr. appelbaum: let me interrupt you there, because i think that is an interesting point. i never met a civil war veteran although i understand there are still a couple people in the south drawing veterans benefits on the basis of marriage. no there are a couple of pensions being paid out to widows of war veterans. dr. scott: wow. mr. appelbaum: which is kind of astonishing. but nobody ever took me on their knee and told me about their services in the civil war. i can recall any memorial day parade where i pulled over some of the afterwords, a reenactor he said he was a member o

hillary clinton, and when victoria woodhull ran on this remote third-party ticket with frederick douglassformer slave, i thought, i have to find out more about that, and i found out more about her younger sister, tennie, and she was just totally -- she was just like an untamed colt. everything she did was just out there, very fast. anyway, so when she ran for president, tennie ran for congress, and their argument was that nothing in the constitution said there was anything against a woman a running for office and this was years before the women had gotten the right to vote, and this was before the board room and the classroom and the battlefield, and tennie claflin became the first woman who was in charge of the new york regiment of troops. so before i get into how they were similar, i want to talk about who they were, because this is when women had no power women could not leave a marriage -- leave marriages if they wanted to and they were stratified in terms of the upper class, middle class, and lower-class, and they came from the trashiest background possible, their father was a con ar

he cites nat turner's 1831 slave rebellion and frederick douglass' 1845 memoir as examples of how whites and blacks interpreted biblical passages on slavery.

>> frederick douglass interest me in his relationship to lincoln which evolved tremendously beginning as quite a critic. becoming critical during what he considered the slowness of the administration to act against slavery. a president meeting with an african-american advisor to talk about slavery. douglas himself comes away more increasingly impressed with the authenticity and honesty and anti-slavery stance of the president. his reaction to the assassination -- i know he goes on to give a talk in rochester in which he says lincoln was the black man's president. we remember a later speech in which he says he was nothing but the white persons resident. -- white persons president. i'm reiterating some of the points which is there's a great distance between 1865 and 1876 and a different path for a man like douglas in the first year than the last. david: there are a lot of people who really change their opinions of lincoln but when he meets lincoln, he feels them utter lack personally as does -- as does sojourner truth and meets lincoln in the white house. douglas and many other people g

he said, the past is not dead and the past cannot die, there are no bygones, said douglass. the evil that men do continues long after they are dead. we would rather forget the bad part of history and only remember the heart -- the part that we can glorify and celebrate, so i think we need to keep in mind that one big word, and it is probably going to end up in two volumes covering slavery and the civil war and reconstruction in tennessee because it is a complex one missing one word, and that word is how did race play in these historical events? dr. groce: it was revolutionary in the sense, particularly that you've got an example where there is a slave population that is freed and within just a couple of years they are voting, many of them are holding office, this was an extraordinary revolutionary experiment really, in america. there is writing about the role of the military in reconstruction, and one of the things pointed out was that surrender was not the end of the war but a turning point in the war, and that wartime continues even when open hostilities may have ended, th
