and they would garrison fort garland. fort garland, as many of you know, is part of the colorado historical society. it has a fantastic museum. one of the great places to go in the spring and the summer and have a picnic, enjoy the view of colorado, and learn about its history. because much of the four still remains today in pristine condition. these troops were sent to this area at a strategic crossroads. in the four corners area where numerous tribal groups claimed that this area was their traditional land. so from the navajo, to the ute, to the cheyenne and others, this had long been a crossroads for native peoples. we find that the fort is described by none other than helen hunt jackson, one of the earliest authors to deal with indian-white conflict in the west. she talks about the fort in a way that would speak to an eastern-based audience, and probably to more modern-taste audiences, who thought a fort was a palisade surrounded by high walls, guard towers, and john wayne guarding against two -- whoever was ever comi

developed a plan to use his army before they all went home, and to launch an attack against the german garrison there was holding trenton. trenton was a very important crossroads city at the time, a town of about 1000 people on the major route between philadelphia and new york city. trenton have a lot of significance sitting on the delaware river about 50 miles north of philadelphia. the british assigned three german regiments to hold this position for the winter of 1776. we are standing by the trenton battle monuments, in this position because this is the top of the town, to my right, you're left is warren street and broad street is on the other side. the two streets come together here at this intersection, what we local folks call the five points. the streets spread out as they had down to the greek it forms a triangle. it was in that triangle that most of the city lived. and washington's plan in the attack on trenton, he divided his force, is to divisions. one division he wanted to seize this position here and the other division would seize the greek and if he accomplished both of those task

were ay real defenses commodity garrison. b, small projectiles. and a little bit later on, the first version of the machine gun, the gatlin gun. that was it. hunt likewise indicated the defenders included the black troopers of the ninth. these enlisted men, mostly were single and lived in open base parts and barracks, like the bears said still exist at fort garland. there was kind of a philosophy in the victorian era army. it is the army wanted you to have a wife, they wouldn't issued you one. so, most of these men are going to be bachelor soldiers going about their daily lives, cooking and serving meals, and other housekeeping chores as well as , drilling, parading, cleaning equipment, and other marshall pursuits. fortunately, a few head had families, few but that privilege was usually enjoyed by officer such as captain john convline who had a fascinating story. if i don't do a bad job today, maybe sean will have me come back next year. the officers at this point are all plate with three exceptions. there will be three black west point graduates

we lloyd garrison interviewed the speaker and described her as highly intelligent and a pleasing address. she looked good, y'all. [laughter] in new york city, louisa treated a large gathering to a reading of a celebrated poem. we wish we knew the names of all of the women that took place in the war, but we give you an image of an unknown mother. a woman for the union army, but note in her bosom she has an american flag. i believe that tells you what the sentiments of this sister were. of course, the nerve center of the confederacy, many think, was in the confederate white house in richmond. little did they know, that a courageous black woman had penetrated the internals of that house. mary elizabeth was a spy for the north during the civil war. she passed on vital secrets that she discovered while posing as an illiterate domestic on the staff of the confederate white house. she posed as woman name alan -- named ellen bond. she is inducted into the military intelligence hall of fame. she was part of the spy network of this woman. they called her crazy bet. she acted crazy but she had such

people were always william lloyd garrison was responsible for this but he was too radical for the religious people and he was an anarchist and a feminist at the same time. that was going too far for them. the mass base was established by charles finney and his converts, theodore wells. there the heroes of the story. >> essentially, evangelicalism became heart and soul of american religion as a country spread west. it becomes impossible to understand the development of our country without understanding the spread of evangelicalism and an increasingly dominant role in the heartland of america as well as the big cities and everywhere in the book you talk about what i consider to be a very fateful difference between southern and northern evangelicals. can you say a word about that? >> the south was a rather isolated at the time. it was a rural community, very few townsmen, much less big cities. it was of course, plantations and slaveowners and so forth whereas the north was a good deal more cosmopolitan, always. it always had catholics and jews , intellectuals and of the sort the south did not.

lloydrked alongside garrison and became a teacher. she knew the streets of this neighborhood.nd here we have the mission stewart,rs. maria w. she is teaching in d.c. and she have 20 scholars in line. the school has recently been reorganized and she understood was of the smoke cleared, it was yet another battle to be taken on, the battle of education. other ways that black women took on the struggle, hardly any had the unique success that mary and had -- mary anne had. this is her commission to black soldiers. we are going to meet another woman who was an unofficial recruiter but our sister here was an official recruiter. one of the other women that was an unofficial recruiter for the 54th and 55th massachusetts regiment, mrs. josephine st. pierre. after the age of 15, she married george lewis, another leading family.american the newlyweds went from their wedding, hang on, to a ship that carried them to liverpool, england because they did not want to raise a family in a nation that tolerated slavery. and, yes, they were fairly well-off. after the outbreak of the civil war, the

texas rebellion of 1836, they, with fremont's encouragement, took action and seized the mexican garrison at sonoma, the northernmost mexican settlement. then, they raised the flag. bidwell did not participate in that revolt. he was still at sutter's fort but word arrived that the rubble had taken place and bidwell left sutter's fort and joined the rebels at sonoma and was active with that. from that point forward, the revolt was preempted when united states had gone to war with mexico. the bear flag rebels gave up their own independent rebellion and joined up with fremont's group and became part of the california battalion under fremont's command. then, they ended up participating in the california phase of the mexican war. participating in the american conquest of california. but, in the course of that, he did some exploring in the center mean sacramento valley. he helped other sellers locate and. north ofocess sacramento, he was familiar with chico crreek. and the chico area. he was very attracted to it and its potentials. rush inng the gold 1848, 1849, bidwell did quite well and made

. >> yes, this is >> reporter: jessica morton is the mother of two, an older child attends garrison elementaryular school that parents favor and seek out in the d.c. student lottery. >> sticking to why the lottery exists and that is to ensure that all kids, regardless of their background, have access to a quality education. >> reporter: but how the student lottery is run is now questioned. in a report, former chancellor failed to act impartially by granting waivers to some unnamed city officials. henderson denies any wrongdoing. she said she used her limited authority for favors for good reason and in only a few cases. today mayor fewmuriel bowser sa one of those appears to be her city administrator rashad young. but he produced evidence that he went throuhe the same. mayor bowser said the ig report will be amended. and bowser says she'll make certain clear rules are in place for any new waivers. >> so it's very clear if a chancellor needs to use discretion, it will be very clear to the public that a set of guidelines and parameters were followed. >> reporter: the mayor also today defended her

this stuff and wait for a smoking gun, and it's kind of like the end of oliver stone's jfk where garrison goes in and cries. it's all connected, honey. it's all connected. it takes us forever -- this is trump right here. hold on one second. >> it's so sad. >> trump here, russia over here. >> he makes it unnecessarily hard on himself. >> didn't he get some other firm that was like the number one raided law firm in russia, something like that. >> even the lieberman element of it. >> do we have that tweet? let me see if we have that twee we're not on tv here. >> don't do it. what are you doing? >> i've got three hours. >> don't tweet. >> i'm not tweeting right now. i have to show you this picture that jack did of lbj giving the pope a bust of himself. look at that. can you do that? >> hold on. here we go. lieberman. >> i'm not sure what's your point here. >> this is advertisement, they're at the same firm. he's got the same guy defending him, the same guy with joe lieberman, working at the same law firm since '13. >> what is it? is it just consistent loyalty above -- >> yes. >> you always go

front in the end they have to keep the at least a million men blockades down in the east just to garrison the areas that they have taken. the second question? >> was about the success of the blockade. i think you covered it. getting back to my tactics during the war, what was the role of airplanes and air ships? what were the roles? >> well, as we said before, artillery is the big killer on the battlefield. and you find out early, as you start to do indirect fire. you have to see where the shells hit. you use barrage balloons or observation balloons to see where the shells hit so the artillery can adjust it on to the target. they're fixed targets, though, these observation balloons. so, if you can take them down, it's going to be better for your side. and a fixed wing aircraft can also be the same mission. ultimately, the most important mission that you have in world war i is observation. since everybody knows that now you get in this oneupsmanship. if i can deprive you of aviation assets it is good for me, bad for you. by the beginning of 1915 you get the world's first true design fighte
