garrison took us to that place of the truth is here now. and maybe he recognized what we in some ways can't afford to if we are to press on. that is, we have come this distance and there is so much farther to go. someone else will now have to carry that. it could have killed him in so many ways. however, that moment of truth and reconciliation, the abolitionist, i think the term comes to the local so you see the declaration day for so many of the union troops of color for the men of the 54th, the 55th massachusetts, and various in between gathering together in the african-american grand army of the republic and marking their celebration, taking the streets in their full dress regalia and telling the story, making themselves visible. but in some ways, too, i think your question goes to the truth and reconciliation reflects. which is the nation can't afford to dwell in the truth. reconciliation is the veil for democracy moving on, progress. it is a sobering place to be. thank you.

malinalco was one of those garrison towns. here, troops were quartered so they could respond quickly to any threat in the neighborhood. but the aztecs were also able to expand the empire without resorting to brute force. when the aztecs won a battle they sent messengers back to the capital with this information, and of course this would be spread to all the towns along the route. then when the aztec army would march back they very often would go through areas in which there were still independent towns. now, if you were the king of a town of, say 5,000, and the aztecs wheeled up to your door with an army of 20,000 battle-hardened, immediately successful veterans, bringing with them the booty of a sacked town and perhaps hundreds of captives for sacrifice, the prudent king is likely to accede to the aztec demands that they become members of the empire. keach: becoming members of the empire boiled down to one essential activity -- paying the aztecs tribute. tribute was the business of the aztec empire, the real purpose behind th

a small union force then occupies the city to garrison it. the two main armies meet in the largest and bloodiest conflict of the campaign, the battle of chickamauga. in the valley of west chickamau ga in september 1863. the union army is defeated. they are able to withdraw into chattanooga. they fortify themselves within a one square mile area in the bend of the tennessee river and await reinforcements. while the confederates attempted to lay siege to the union army from positions along missionary ridge to the east, from across the valley to lookout mountain and onto lookout mountain itself. the final battle in the overall campaign for chattanooga and the final battle of those fought in november of 1863 unfolds along missionary ridge. to the east of chattanooga east of where we are located. a long rich, the confederates have had their main position throughout late september, october and november. 48 hours before the fighting on the ridge on november 25, the confederates attempts to build fortifications along the crest of missionary ridge. lat

as garrison suggested, to have union, you had to compromise. every good historian will tell you that's exactly the point of the union right now. that's not what jefferson meant by union though. for him, it was the coming together of self-governing republics which in and of itself, the fact that the state's had their own constitutions, were governing themselves, what a tremendous breakthrough for mankind, in idea of self-government. and then showing their genius for union in the creation of new state governments, the first peoples in the modern world who govern themselves. then they've built on that to create yet a more all-embracing union. union was part of the unfolding of the republican vision. there would be future unions. the union would expand. the union was dynamic. the union was processed. the union was a movement toward a better world because what it demonstrated -- we've talked about equality. we know how important that is. we're all equal. but what is the point of equality. it enables you to consent. you can't consent if you're not eq
