of the fort. as they march up the varina road standard comes across from the fort. and this is what he sees. if you go to fort harrison today, you will think it's on flat land. but it's not it's on a hill. it's on the highest point between richmond and the coast. the east side the west side and the north side. all or on a hill the south sides in a steeper hill. this is a look from the east side from farina road a little less than a mile away. you can see the fort in the distance and you can see part of it's been cut away. the union troops will do that later. this picture was taken after the battle. but the fort was pretty high. it was 18 feet high from the bottom of the ditch to the top of the walls. notice something very important. there's no obstructions in front of the fort. normally in front of fortification you'd have abbotee chevodefree any kind of obstruction. you could have to slow down the tacking force and there's nothing there. also, it's a little hard to see. there's a ledge about half

he expects to be able to go into the fort, or have reinforcement sent out from the fort. campbell has been given specific instructions that he is not to intervene militarily. basically what that would be doing, is declaring war on the united states of america. at this point in time great britain had no intention to declare war unless they could win and really win big. they were not going to make the decision at fort -- to do that. so what ends up happening then, is the native americans now see that the british were not going to fight with them. they leave disheartened, and very betrayed. so this battle has then forced the native americans to reevaluate their alliances with the british, and how they are going to withstand the onslaught of the settlers who are going to continue to push into their lands. so the battle of fallen timbers lasted about two hours. with the heaviest loss is taking place within about 45 minutes. from what we can clean we are seeing that between 30 and 50 were lost on each side. although the losses were lower than we would expect to see when we say

it wasn't horrific battle fort wagner was one of several forts guarding charleston harbor. the 54th sailed from massachusetts to the south on may 28th, 1863 initially they did not do work that colonel shaw thought was befitting of the importance of this regiment. but in the middle of july the opportunity came. for the 54th to be involved in the charge on fort wagner and indeed to lead the charge on fort wagner and even though fort wagner was an almost impenetrable fort colonel shaw wanted the 54th to prove its metal to demonstrate that they were fit soldiers as fit is any that the union had had to offer and so he volunteered the 54th to lead this charge? fort wagner had been bombed by the union army mercilessly for days and it did not crack on july 18th. it was bombed throughout the day the 54th charged that evening colonel shaw charged the top of the parapet and as this print demonstr almost as soon as he got to the top of the parapet and yelled forward 54th. he was shot dead and fell right right there. as he was mounting the parapet standing next to him was a young africa

take the fort. colonel shaw and 271 of his men were casualties and she all was famously buried with his black troops. however, the 54th 55th, massachusetts and some white units actually. where victorious? at the abandonment of fort wagner after a long siege which ended on september 7th 1863 the soldiers depicted in glory were more like the average usc t unit like the 23rd. they're going to be mostly a mixture of enslaved men some freed men and some men who were already free. in the movie lincoln one of the first things you'll see it showed lincoln talking with two us ct soldiers. one was an older gentleman was a former slave. and he talked about the battle of jenkins ferry on april 30th 1864 he talked about how. they made sure that there were no confederates left alive. and that's because they were retaliating for the atrocities of the confederates when they murdered the prisoners taking their poison spring and mark's mill. and few battles you do have us ct retaliating for those atrocities and you'l

as we know from james fort, forts were often hubs for trad ers. taper him turns -- abraham turns to his nearest neighbors, the appomattox, and decides to ask them to guide him west as a trader, kind of on an exploratory mission. an appomattox man guides himself into that iroquois speaking territory. there they meet up with another guide who also -- who also speaks of the iroquois languages that are common in that area. together they guide abraham along the appomattox river down to the blackwater river and finally to the roanoke river, which is nearby where we are now in blacksburg, virginia. although he did not make it this far west. together, they help abraham through some politically dicey situations where, for example, someone does not want him to continue to go west because they are trying to protect their own trades and alliances. they help to integrate abraham's environmental knowledge with his cultural knowledge of the area. abraham becomes a trader in the southeast region. this was happening across the southeast. as virginians are moving i

is a group of soldiers and the import hudson, louisiana, and this is the provost marshall office in fort hudson outside. we see the range of people we see soldiers we the men and women who are standing outside in terms of dress. we see that some are known as it's called contrabands as they were seen as they're entering into a space of freedom and moving out of slavery. and and these are images where we begin to see a narrative again of masculinity that countered the negative images that were presented of black people of black men that had the demeaning images of circulated of black figures. so we see a sense of nation building and citizenship with these images. we their images in the collection in the book of abraham lincoln with some of the generals that we know in history to an image here of nicholas biddle who is and from pennsylvania and pottsville, pennsylvania who in 1861 is known as the first wounded. man in the great american rebellion 1861 april 18th, and he was wounded in baltimore when there were a group of men company militia volunteer militia from pennsylvania. they marched

army is releasing a scathing report saying leaders at fort hood in texas ignored complaints of sexual harassment from vanessa guillen, a specialist who disappeared last april and was killed by a fellow soldier. more officers are now facing discipline for failing to act. here's mireya villarreal. >> justice! >> reporter: it was the #metoo movement for the military, exposing a pattern of violence and sexual harassment. >> it's not fair that my sister was murdered the way she was and that she had to be murdered for everyone to realize all these issues. >> reporter: tonight, new details on the murder of armyec, legedl the hanf solnd a pmise o some accountability. the new report confirms, for the first time, that guillen verbally reported that she was sexually harassed on two occasions in 2019, including being asked to participate in a threesome. in both instances her supervisor failed to report the harassment and other leaders failed to take action. commanding general michael garrett has directed 13 leaders be relieved of duty or reprimanded as a result of their failures, bringing the tot

he is at the head of the column that is sent to relieve fort stanwyck and all of that kind of thing. he is the right guy to send up there. this dynamic leader and that is what schuyler needed. and again, i think benjamin lincoln he does not get as much press but i think he is also critical to american success at saratoga. he is not one of these guys who is leading an attack, although he is wounded at the end of the first day of the last battle, seriously wounded leading an attack. that is was not his major role. his major role was to get the militia out and be sorted that liaison liaison between the commander of the northern department and the militia. he does a brilliant job at that. so these two key commanders along with other key leaders course at daniel morgan is famous, elite unit that washington sends up there along with others though. those folks are all critical cogs in the american machine that will ultimately win the saratoga campaign. but then when it comes to the actual battle benedict arnold plays absolute critical roles in both battles. in the first one, he is the one t

reason we put all 3 of i guess together, and wanted to share the story with you, was because of a new fort lines, documentaries called no consent. it tells a story of what happened at b o in detention center. have a look like an brown immigrant women at the mercy of the private prison corporation for lines investigate allegations of medical abuse of women held it a privately run immigration detention facility in rural georgia. you still don't know what happened here saying, no, you don't have a chance to read everything. an ordeal exposed by a nurse turned whistled. our blow the whistle a 1000 times over. if i had no consent, surgery scandal, an immigrant detention on al jazeera, you know, i'm just trying to think when i, i have a stories that come out of this immigration center. incredible abusive human rights abuses. what is going on in private tension centers anyway in the united states that should give us concern? yeah, i think the, the main thing to note here, right, is that erwin, unfortunately, and sadly, is not unique. and it's not just private detention, it's all of the detention

clearview, town i've already mentioned, was founded in 1903 along the tracks of the fort smith and western railroad. it's widely known for its baseball team butkn widely known now for the hall of fame of black educators. it's a place i would encourage people to be able to stop in and to be able to see and it's an annual tradition where individuals from around the state right in to be able to be recognized that year in the hall of fame ceremony led by doctor nero senior. brooksville found in 1903 originally named sewall, was renamed in the town 1912 in honor of the first african-american in the area a r brooks here redbird founded in 1970 along the missouri kansas and texas railroad was built on a land allotted by the creek nation. one of the towns original developers and the first justice of theea peace and an early may. before redbird official became a town, they organized the first baptist church in 1889 which grew to be the largest church in redbird. summit, founded in 1910 along the missouri kansas and texas railway. vernon founded in 1911 on ranch and the creek nation home to many aaa

however, a trip i took to fort hood deepened my concern about the cohesion of the force. military shows the strain of two decades of continuous deployments. the fort hood report showed too many commanders do not know their troops and too many trips do not trust commanders. issues such as racism, extremism, sexual harassment and sexual assault have gone unchecked. ms. warmuth, these will require your direct and immediate attention. i would ask you share with the committee this morning how you plan to address these issues. historically the army has struggled to effectively modernize the establishment of the future command and associated reorganization of related commands injected tremendous energy into modernization efforts and congress provided the service wide latitude to make structural changes and has supported the army's efforts. however, creating such authorities has created tensions between civilian and military acquisition officials. as secretary of the army you will face difficult decisions on these modernization efforts. you will need to be clear eyed and define t

as i mentioned, --it was recommendations from the fort hood independent commission. they have good recommendations to implement across the army and the other services. i would suggest looking at ways to continue to build community and finding support for those military families, because there is a place to go. often the communication they get is from service members and that is the person who perpetrated it. they are not going to get good information. that is a good place to start if they have the resources and know they have a place to go. >> i wanted to add my support for finding a way to harmonize data to ensure we are standardizing the way -- i was fortunate enough to be on the trip with the chairwoman to fort hood and i found an increased awareness of the fact that --needs to be better communicating within the base to talk about things like soldiers who are awol, wondering what the analog is making sure we are communicating across baselines, to the police. [indiscernible] >> i was talking in terms about the duck -- are you talking in terms about the data or in t

however, a trip i took to fort hood with senator inhofe deepened my concern about the cohesion of the force. our military continues to show the strain of two decades of continuous deployments. the fort hood report shows that too many commanders do not know their troops and to make troops do not trust their commanders. issues such as racism, extremism, sexual harassment and sexual assault have come into many instances, gone unchecked. these are issues that will apply to your direct and immediate attention and i would ask that you tell the committee how you would plan to address these issues. historically, the army has struggled to effectively modernize the astonishment of army's future command in the associated organization of related commands injected tremendous energy into modernization efforts in congress has provided a service latitude to make problematic and structural changes and has support of the army's efforts. however, creating such new authorities has created tensions between civilian and military acquisition officials as sector of terry of the army will face physical decisi

on the one hand, fort snelling is in minnesota, near st. paul and terribly remote for people like harriet and dred, but on the other hand, it is an extraordinary crossroads where merchants, and native people are trading stories, trading information, and i wouldn't be surprised if that's where their legal education begins. >> dred scott takes us to what court? >> missouri state court. he originally files with the state court, and it's a fairly typical cause of action. there are two elements to it. he claims, number one, that he is free and second, that he is being falsely imprisoned. there is an assault component that you claim you are being threatened and imprisonment and being held against your will. that was the typical format. it's the kind of case that was almost boiler plate. and you would go to court and plea it out under the old writ system different than that we would have today. the first case in zone a technicality, which i thought was really interesting. but it obviously didn't doom his case because he was able to file. >> next,
