garfield, james garfield was the youngest of five children. he was born in absolute extreme poverty. this is a recreation of his house in ohio. his family lived in a log cabin. they were so poor that they couldn't afford to put down a log floor. it was a dirt log cabin. his father abram died when garfield was 18 months old leaving his mother to raise five children on her own. a single mom with five kids and no money. the family was so poor he did not have his first pair of shoes until after he was four years old. later on when people admired how he rose from total poverty to becoming president of the united states, he didn't ro mant size this at all. he said let us never praise poverty, especially as a means of raising children, but you do need to really have a sense of awe about his mother, eliza to go from such poverty, to get her son into the white house and she ultimately moves into the white house with him. she later claims that she thought, and i'm not sure if she was right or wrong. she claims to have been the first president's mother t

garfield. mrs.arfield was fantastic in that she was able to compartmentalize her personal fears and the care and wear on her emotionally and had the wherewithal to put out this word that everything was fine. that the president was in charge. this was a very important thing. she asked that everything written about him be sent to her for review. vice president arthur made no rumblings about assuming any presidential duties. he respected her. you begin to see generated first in the country and then around the world the most amazing articles about this woman's courage, this woman's intelligence, her fortitude, how -- her strength and calm, and how it was pervading the white house. cheering up the president. the patient. then there were the technology of the day permitted pen sketches, so you saw images of mrs. garfield, her down in the kitchen preparing food for him. so, it was a little bit of hyperbole because it was a desperate situation. as we'd spoken about earlier alexander graham bell offered to b

garfield. mrs.field was very up on the latest trends and style of the day and she had a very good eye for art. she taught painting for a while. around the fireplace are hand-painted tiles. she painted the two top corner tiles. the other tiles were painted by the children. james garfield said that his wife had faultless taste. she chose her furniture very carefully. >> did she have the opportunity to host any events? >> she hosted a regular reception and it is fascinating that at one of those, a man by the name of charles guiteau, who would shoot the president two months later, met her and reported having a very pleasant conversation with her and liking her. of course, she gets malaria. there is fear that she might die. as she is recovering, it is thought she would do better at the jersey shore. guiteau is waiting for him at the railroad station and sees him escorting mrs. garfield and he cannot bring himself to shoot the president. >> that is in june. i want to pause for dramatic effect. just a shor

there was a double wedding ceremony here, where harry garfield, the oldest garfield son, and molly garfield, the only surviving garfield daughter, both married their respective fiances in a double wedding ceremony right here in front of the windows in the library. swain: well, lucretia garfield made it into the new century. she died in 1918 at the ripe old age of 85. how did she live those post-white house years? and what should -- where should we put her in the pantheon of first ladies? anthony: well, unfortunately her tenure was so brief, but we can say this. she was the first to be self-conscious enough to not destroy her papers. she was the first to keep a diary of her white house days. and she might best be thought of as a former first lady, in a sense, in terms of her career. i think there is a lot of similarities between her and jacquelyn kennedy, both in terms of committing to the legacy of their husbands, and yet also not allowing their lives or the lives of their children to be weighed down by the grief. swain: we're looking at some photographs of the large family. do you know if

tonight we'll learn about lucretia garfield. and after the assassination, the next person to come into the white house, chester arthur, who did so without a first lady, and we'll learn how he handled that. to help us understand this interesting period in american history, carl anthony, who is the historian at the national first ladies library in canton ohio, he's also the author of "america's first families." well, carl anthony, the circumstances of the garfields' election in 1880 really helped to seal the president's fate. so tell us the story of where the party politics were at that time. anthony: well, you know, so many of the large issues that had continued in post-civil war era were really in large measure put to rest. you know, the transcontinental railroad had by this time, of course, been completed. the troops had been removed from the south during reconstruction. a lot of focus was basically on power and money. and that struggle within the republican party for who would control the party, which meant who woul

then we get garfield's election. james garfield is now elected in 1880. we have this upsurge in voting rights enforcement which i mentioned earlier. folks are being prosecuted under the same section the government used to prosecute cruickshank. it is being used successfully in the 1880's. the charges in yarborough, the successful case under the 15th amendment and federal elections law, the upsurge in voting rights enforcement, they are 15th amendment and federal cases. if you are a u.s. attorney and capital is low and you don't have a lot to spend, you are going to get the easiest case you can. you are going to go for the charges you know can stick. it's a lot easier to bring a 15th amendment case or federal elections case than it would be to bring a state neglect case. under a state neglect case, you still have to show state failure. it is unclear what the thresholds are. if you want to win, you will go with the 15th amendment. if you want to go with federal elections, you don't need to show race. they are being successful under these prosecutions. we do

garfield? >> your question also gives us an opportunity to be something that congress can do in this end which is legal redress. a lack of legal redress rights in the united states is something that creates great challenges internationally and this committee and congress has the opportunity to do something. that's another step that can be taken that would help internationally. >> folks, also you were talking about encryption and we've been having a conversation recently about whether there should be a back door for law enforcement access to encrypted data and whether that should be mandated. it's such a policy would mandated by the federal government what would the impact be specifically on user data and what they think the impact would be for your customers? >> i think the impact would be quite negative of your and internationally for a host of reasons. it's important to keep in mind that secured as a part of advancing privacy. if you create any kind of door it won't only be used by those who

garfield. you stated connectivity between vehicles should be reliable especially for safety applications. that's something congress federal trade commission and other government stakeholders should oversee to protect consumers. you're referring there to the consumers' physical safety. when it comes to another kind of safety privacy and data security you urge the federal government to take a wait and see approach and asking we should only step in if industry fails at self-governance. so what in your mind is the difference between these two kinds of safety that would warrant such a divergent approach? >> i guess two points. our suggestion is not that the government do nothing. our suggestion is that the government exercise restraint. the approach today sectorial driven, includes monitoring and enforcement by the ftc is working. in the first instance a significant market failure that may not be being met. so immediate action is clear. in the second instance less clear. the third and final point we
