well, word spread like wildfire across eastern arkansas. within days thousands, one union soldiers he counted as many as 4,000 people in a single day, thousands of people, men, women, children, lined the dusty roads ahead of the union army. they poured into towns where the federals happened to stop for a night. so as the army of the southwest went toward the mississippi river, it was followed by an immense and ever lengthening tail of people of all ages carrying all their possessions and one suspects a little bit of old mass's possessions and accompanied by thousands and thousands of farm animals, sheep and goats. one union officer said now i realize what the ark must have looked like. emancipation came haltingly, slowly in the civil war. it came first on a large scale to northeast arkansas in the summer of 1862. well, on july 12th the army of the southwest finally marched into helena. this brought to a close one of the most remarkable operations of the civil war. during the first six months of '62, the federals marched 700 miles from ralei

but almost every election in eastern arkansas are examples and you never quite get to the bottom of an. it goes up and down through the courts to resolve those issues, and the voter intimidation that are to prevent people from donating. and that's part of the problem now. louisiana scores has the corner on cultural politicians in the 30s. his brother in the 50s and then edwin edwards was convicted of various forms of fraud and its governor of louisiana. all of these care there's. and arkansas, we have our characters not quite as colorful a guest, at least they don't get men like the last day. but you know, chicago, politicians and other state as well. but we just haven't gotten national attention. >> now more from little rock. the tv visited the city with the help of our local cable partner, comcast is central or can. >> tells the story of nine different people from arkansas. they were not born here, but they all lived here and were part of the story of arkansas. for example, sidney wallace who's story is fascinating because there were three different interpretations come in three diff

cleaner now than they were in that era, but still almost every election in arkansas, particularly eastern arkansas there are examples of frauds and investigations, and we never quite get to the bottom of them, and it goes up and down through the courts, but we never quite resolve those issues. but it's still around, election fraud is still around. now it kind of takes somewhat of a different form. now there's more voter intimidation efforts now made to prevent people from voting, voting blocs. and that's, that's part of the, i think, the more predominant problem now than the actual stealing of votes. well, louisiana, of course, has the corner on colorful politicians, particularly with huey long, his brother, earl long. huey long in the '30s, his brother, younger brother, earl long, in the '40s and '50s. and then edwin edwards who was convicted of various forms of fraud when he was governor of louisiana. all of these are colorful characters. in arkansas we have, our characters are not quite as colorful, i guess. at least they don't get the country's attention like the longs did. but, you know, chic

in 1927 you had a tremendous flood along the lower mississippi river that devastated parts of eastern arkansas and western mississip mississippi, down to louisiana. it was a very different experience from 1937, not just because it hit different parts of the country, but because we become a different country since then. in 1927 there was very little federal involvement. rescue and relief was left largely to the red cross and other private industries. instead of a vase a fair government of calvin coolidge, we had acted as governor of franklin roosevelt. so you have that kind of army of federal workers who can go in place, save lives, save property. and so, the difference comes from the fact that we learn from 27, but also we have a very different philosophy of government in place. i think about 2011, we had flood levels on the ohio river and that were in some places comparable to 1937, but we didn't have mass evacuations. we didn't have that kind of damage that we had in 37. and that's because of the floodwalls that were put in place after 1937. it's also because there is now a series of reservo

another busy weather day moving into western arkansas and parts of eastern texas. all is quiet for today. and really for tomorrow as well. our clouds that were around early this morning are now leaving us alone. we'll be left with plenty of sunshine today, low to mid-80s this afternoon, another quiet, mild night tonight. the weather front will eventually make a little run at us. maybe some showers in the mountains of west virginia late monday but i think here in washington our chances for rain hold off until late tuesday and then scattered shower possibilities on wednesday. even that's not a guarantee, though. today, though, no problems at all. outside of a bad pollen count, temperature will reach up into the low 80s. tomorrow, flirting with reports. the record at national airport is 92 tomorrow. i don't think we have the stuff to get all watt way to the record tomorrow. dulles might be able to get it the seven-day forecast. two 80s, 70s, and typical weather and then maybe next weekend, people don't want rain on the weekend, but maybe next weekend a better chance f

in 1927 you had a tremendous flood along the lower mississippi but devastated parts of eastern arkansasnd western mississippi down to louisiana. it was a very different experience from 1937 not just because they hate different parts of the country, but because we become a different country since then. in 1927 there was. that'll federal involvement. rescue and relief was left largely to the red cross and other private industries is that of the laissez-faire government we had the activist government to franklin roosevelt and so you have that kind of army of federal workers who can go in play and save lives, save property. so the difference comes from the fact we learned from 27, but also a very different philosophy of government in place. think about 2011 we had flood levels on the ohio river that were in some places comparable to 1937, but we did have mass evacuations we didn't have the kind of damage we had in 37. that is because of the floodwalls put in place after 1937. it is also because there is now a serious of reservoirs upstream, where the higher begin and its tributaries begin t

the severe let is ongoing tonight into eastern texas and oklahoma, and arkansas, and louisiana and mississippiarge hail and damaging wind and isolated tornado threat and as we head into tomorrow, this is a very slow mover so we will see the watches ongoing throughout the overnight and into tomorrow. people need to heed the warning and make sure you have the radio on, because you cannot see the storms coming, the yellow shaded areas through mississippi and alabama and headed into thursday and friday we will see the same threat headed into the southeast. so, slow moving. this time of year, april, this is where we usually see tornadoes and what we call tornado alley and we have seen such damaging storms in the business of the most populated areas, this is a rarity. >>neil: quickly, janice, on what is causing all of this. obviously, i felt last year was the second busiest tornado season on record and this season is keeping pace with that but not so much the severity but the frequency. what is driving it? >>guest: we have had an inboundly warm winter. we had above average numbers in terms of tornad

out in arkansas and heading out toward missouri, right to you we do have tornado watches for arkansas, eastern missouri and toward northern iowa and for southern minnesota and west central wisconsin. that will continue to be the case for today. rest of it today and into the evening hours. as far as right now in northern california not a lot to show you. a few showers way up to the north along the north coast. we have scattered low cloud shall the fog showing up coast side around the bay. first thing this morning. as far as the forecast for tonight we have this. patchy low clouds, regrouping, pushing back into the bay, still a bit of a breeze and then for tomorrow morning clouds, skies partly sunny ask the extended forecast we will warm it back up. here is the close up, view on the satellite and radar, the rain showers up to the north. here we go with a few high clouds in the park and some of them will be paying us a visit. first thing tomorrow morning. first thing tomorrow morning, coolest locations in the low to mid40s for santa rosa, napa, san francisco 49 degrees, san jose at 46, we are sta

the eastern most were located in arkansas towns of jerome and butler. there's a collection of crafts and artworks created by internees at the rower camp. >> the arts and crafts were sort of how they kept their sanity and it gave them something to do. depression was so bad in a lot of the camps in that people -- there was a high incidence of suicide. so people would make these things of beauty to give to each other just as a way to say we support you and we care about you and here is a little something to cheer you up. i think that they really used the art as a way of expressing hope in a time that sort of seemed hopeless. the camp opened in 1942 in september. the first people arrived then and then over the next several months the bulk of them came. they filled their time working within the camps. but then they also had a good bit of free time, too, that they had to fill. and so a lot of the things that are in the collection that we received are pieces of art that people in the camp did. some of it was done by students as class assignments in school. but

this out a bit and can you so a line of showers and they're turning into thunderstorms in arkansas and eastern texas. that is a slow cold front and that will come here through tomorrow and by afternoon, the showers, may be even thunderstorms and now, we're going to fly up to montana, idaho, and wyoming. and you see that bit of rain there? northern sections of wyoming and idaho? that is a pocket of energy that is going to come long and kick up a coastal storm on sunday. much like we watched the nor'easters in the wintertime, the track with the storm on sunday is going to be very, very critical on just how much rain we get. we'll talk about that more in the full forecast. still, real good out there new. 74 in the city. fredericksburg, 73; culpeper a few clouds down there and temperatures are cooler. nice at 7:00. mild and nice at 9:00. and still mild at 11:00 with temperatures in the upper 70s, upper 60s, pardon me. wishful thinking, to about 70 degrees. even as late as midnight or so. real, real mild and nice out there this evening. soak it up. we have the showers and thunderstorms in the after

then slide that slightly east on sunday, where it's north texas, eastern oklahoma, western arkansas, much of missouri. dallas, tulsa, springfield, missouri, that's on sunday. these storms we feel like will be particularly strong with long-lasting, long tracks, violent tornados in the area in pink. you need to make plans for where to go if threatening weather moves into the area and be prepared to move your family to safety for saturday and sunday. we're very concerned about this storm system. and throughout the morning we'll tell you where this storm is coming from and how it develops. it is a beautiful friday morning. a bit chilly. the federal city. they are accident. have sunshine for the majority of the day. is called in frederick, 32. 38 in chantilly. 46 downtown and 44 to start your day in fredericksburg. mid- 60's today. total sunshine and a light wind. day.ly, not a gusty warming into t >> the last time the storm prediction center put out a warning like this in advance, was for the tuscaloosa, birmingham storm a year ago. more than 300 people died in those tornadoes. so, we're

so, eastern texas, parts of oklahoma, arkansas, louisiana, in towards mississippi, this is the area we could see the threat for more damaging winds as well as hail and isolated tornadoes. and the system is just going to creep along, shepard, as we head into tomorrow. again, serve the same areas, louisiana, arkansas, in towards mississippi and alabama across the mississippi river. and in towards the tennessee river valley as well. back to you. >> shepard: meteorologist janice dean. thank you. new exit polls are revealing what's driving voters in several primary locations tonight. polls are set to close in maryland and washington, d.c. at 8:00 p.m. eastern daylight time. in wisconsin follows one hour later. here's what we know right now. exit polls reveal the republic base is starting to accept mitt romney more. in both maryland and wisconsin, he is leading among very conservative voters. evangelicals and strong tea party supports. that is big for him. he he is also doing better with voters looking for a candidate with electability or experience. in wisconsin, rick santorum is leading am

weather threat continues ongoing throughout the evening and the overnight hours for eastern part of texas. to oklahoma. arkansas, louisiana an mississippi. slight risk to ohio river valley. the worst is over for dallas area. cities east of that keeping on alert for the potential of large hail and damaging winds. isolated tornado. there is a severe weather threat tomorrow. this storm is a slow mover. we have elevated risk or isolated tornado tomorrow, parts of louisiana, new orleans, mississippi, alabama and parts of tennessee and kentucky. as we head to thursday and friday, that elevated risk for the potential of severe weather. the april proppability. this is tornado alley. this time of year we see conditions favorable for tornadoes. dallas certainly, oklahoma city to wichita. to see several tornadoes moving through the dallas-fort worth area is a rarity. cooler air behind the system. an ingredient we need. record-setting temperatures across the gulf coast. a lot of abundant moisture from the gulf of mexico. that is a main reason we see violent storms. the threat continues. if you have a weather radio make sur

project that will strengthen our national security, by making us less dependent on middle eastern oil. arkansas families and businesses are hurting due to high gas prices and the keystone pipeline will bring an additional one million barrels of oil per day into the united states. more supply means lower prices and arkansans as well as all americans need relief from these high gas prices. president obama denied construction of the keystone x.l. pipeline despite years of extensive vetting for environmental impacts. make no mistake, the president's decision to reject the keystone pipeline has cost american jobs. well spun, a manufacturer in my district, has manufactured nearly half of the pipe for the keystone pipeline and was forced to lay off 60 workers after the president rejected the pipeline. after he delayed it last year. the key stone pipeline will strengthen american energy security and create tens of thousands of good american jobs. it's past time to move the keystone pipeline forward. thank you, i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from west virginia. mr. rah

that will be moving into the great state of missouri and down into eastern oklahoma, western arkansas texas under the gun for severe weather today. and how cold is it on the other side of the front? snowing in the western suburbs of denver. a big clash of air masses. unfortunately for us by the time the whole system gets here, nothing more than a few light it is showers tuesday night and wednesday. and that will slightly cooler weather for the end of the week. today, no problem. morning clouds turn into afternoon sunshine. a great looking day today. quiet weather through much of the overnight hours. tonight another warm start tomorrow morning. tomorrow, a taste of summer, out ahead of the weather front. this is by 8:00 tomorrow afternoon. after a beautiful day tomorrow, a chance of a few lonely sprinkles getting in here late in the day tuesday. but that is just about it. so, today then, clouds turning into sunshine and warm. highs today, low to mid-80s. overnight, partly cloudy. another mild start, indeed. start off temperatures on your monday will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s. t

characterize arkansas at this time in terms of union loyalties, southern loyalties at the beginning of the war. >> okay. well, at the beginning of the war you could kind of generalize by saying that the easternd southern parts of the state -- which was where where the larger plantations were located -- were in favor of secession while the uplands, the mountainous regions were not as much so. when the, when the secession convention was announced, the delegates that were sent, the majority of the delegates were actually pro-union in their sympathies. and the initial convention recessed without coming to a, coming to a conclusion, you know, without voting for secession. they voted to come back, come back in, i believe, in august of '61 unless something came up in the meantime. well, fort sumter happened in the meantime which led them to come back and, ultimately, the issue for a lot of them was coercion. if the north was going to try to coerce the seceded states back into the union, then arkansas would not support that, and that's what, that's what happened. >> you hear lots of stories, um, about brother fighting brother, um, you know, in the civil war. were there instances you found where fami
