some of them general lee knows very well, such as seth williams who was lee's adjutant when lee was a commandant at united states military academy at west point. another interesting aspect of general grant's staff, there was a young captain named robert lincoln on his staff, and he, of course, was the son of president abraham lincoln, and he was here in the room. another interesting participant in this ceremony was -- at least, maybe not participant, but a witness to this ceremony was this rag doll of lula mclean, youngest daughter of wilmer mclean. it was sitting on the couch when the officers came in, and they moved it to the mantel during the meeting. after the meeting, some of the officers took the doll off the mantel and began tossing it around. captain thomas moore of general phillip sheridan's staff took the doll home with him as a war souvenir. in the 1990s, the family wanted the doll to come back to appomattox court house, and it is now on display in the park visitors center. the meeting lasted about an hour and a half. it was said to be a gentleman's agreement. general grant

he has to dispatch men to rida head to make the arrangements to meet with general lee. he dispatches william babcock and lee dunn ride ahead and meet lee. they findley resting under an apple tree at the appomattox river. general lee's artillery are on the hills behind this apple tree and they see general lee talking with him under it. he dispatches his orderly to come into the village, find a place to meet, and eventually lee, babcock and dunn ride into the village to the mclean house. the next time the confederate soldiers see general lee, they learn they've been surrendered. they mistakenly assume that the federal officer talking to lee under the apple tree was general grant. so they went over and started to cut the tree down for souvenirs. before long, federal troops came over and asked the confederate soldiers why they were cutting down the tree, and he said this is the tree where general lee surrendered to general grant. the confederate soldiers said, i want part of that tree, too. they went to work getting souvenirs off that tree. that night all the roots had been

two days later general lee surrenders to general grant at appomattox, and within two days lincoln isssassinated. this is a very historic photo that reflects the fact in summer of 1889 mr. and mrs. blaine shown in the photograph in the center, mrs. blaine in the white dress, james blaine to the right, they invited the president of the united states, benjamin harrison, to spend several days with them at their summer home in bar harbor on mount desert. one of the reasons for this presidential trip to maine was the fact that james g. blaine at that time was serving under benjamin harrison's cabinet. blaine had been u.s. secretary of state under garfield and briefly under president arthur, but then in 1889 benjamin harrison appointed him secretary of state and he held that position through most of the harrison administration. >> where did blaine get most of his money from? >> well, there is a lot of discussion about that. his political detractors would have said that it was ill-gotten in some ways. that was one of the issues he ran into when he was trying to get the nomination in 1876 at

professor robinson: general lee. i'd like to sit down and talk with general lee. the one reason. fessor robinson: i want to nation's e was the greatest reck silliator between northern ers, when and southerners were battling heads, lee was talking about reconciliation. lee was the absolute necessity of bringing the nation back he ther again and demonstrated that by taking a college and le making it a national institution it.t washington lee university. and one of the ways he brought reconciliation was, to his redit, and this almost sounds hip hypocri ypocritical, heretical, to his credit, he forgot about the past. he wouldn't talk about the civil war. interviews, t wouldn't write memoirs. dedications, attend even statues to stonewall jackson. e would be certainly violently opposed today to the confederate lag in any shape or form being shown. the war is over, he said. i have led men into battle. i must lead men into peace. jamesour guest, professor robinson, 44 years a teacher at blacksburg, h in virginia. the book we're talking about, is heros, e civil war, the villains, ldiers an

lee as the great confederate general. but what arlington house represents is his life before the civil war. his family life. he married his wife here. six of his seven children were born here. this was the place he sacrificed to make the choice he did at the beginning of the civil war to side with virginia, to fight for a larger concept of what he considered to be his home and family, and that was virginia. but it came with a very knowing sacrifice. while robert e. lee would be in the minds of many during that war and the years to follow, somewhat of a villain in history, labeled a traitor by the u.s. government and still a controversial figure, many during his lifetime, including many officers and soldiers who fought for the union, respected lee in large part because of that sacrifice he was willing to make. in fact it was louis crampton, a congressman from saginaw, michigan, whose father served in the union army in the war and fought against robert e. lee's army in virginia who first proposed the legislation that would

lee did come in, and he did make some corrections. i think there were some elements of general orders number nine that lee thought was a little harsh toward the union army. i have put in bold just a few sections, and i'm going to go through this quickly. rest assured, we're going to come back to general orders number nine. in this document, in this document, you can again see some of the essence, the essence of the lost cause interpretation as to why the confederacy failed. of course, i can't see it well from here. so the very first paragraph is crucial. printed in bold. compel to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. second paragraph, and this speaks to this issue of honor. lee, and i should say marshall as well, very sensitive to how confederate soldiers were going to response to this defeat, and as our previous panel spoke to the issue of subjugation. the word subjugation time and time again, you wul find in the letters of confederate soldiers throughout the war. fearful that defeat to the yankees, that would mean a debasement of then as men, and that loss of mastery.

james robertson: -- general lee.i would just to why he was the nation's greatest reconciliatory when northerners and southerners are butting heads, he was talking about reconciliation. it was a necessity of bringing the nation back together again. he demonstrated that by taking a bankrupt college and making it an international institution. washington and lee university. and the way, one of the ways he thought about reconciliation was to his credit and this, sounds critical, to his critical he forgot the past. he would not talk about the civil war. he would not grant you know breeze -- interviews or right memoirs. he would be certainly violently opposed to the confederate flag in any shape or form -- for being shown. the war is over. i have lead people into battle and now i must leave men to peace. brian: our guest is professor james robertson. teacher at virginia tech. the book we are talking about, he has about 20 of them, after the civil war, the heroes, villains, civilians who changed america. we thank you for com

lee for being a confederate general. this, again, specifically honors him for his role in promoting the union once the war was over. his period, of course, his experience, his leadership as a confederate general is recognized, but we don't want people who visit here or think of this place to be put off by some preconception of what they might think the interpretation of this place is. we are determined to make this as comprehensive and inclusive as possible, and, of course, that means telling the full story of the enslaved people here at arlington. arlington national cemetery was once a plantation. a lot of visitors are surprised by that. over 4 million visitors tour arlington national cemetery every year, and very few it seems are aware of that aspect of the history before they get here. and to see how this place changed and evolved from a plantation to the national cemetery during the war and what it is now, is a great part of the story here that we interpret daily. well, slavery is a big part of that. and for visitors

another way they tried to ensure that general lee would never return to some of the free slaves what they did with the land was come up with a town called freedom village. it wasn't exactly small. there were churches and schools and their own hospitals. with the people love freedman's village in the national archives. >>cspan: now that is read the cemetery to a covert? >>guest: the cemetery is freedom village. >>cspan: what happened to the free blacks? >>guest: with that story and to it brought in people like sorter nurturers -- so did her truce but eventually the truth that freedom village had from that hill from arlington that people discover there. so that would return with arlington cemetery. so that is part of arlington there is no trace. and since it gave the top one of the churches but one lady came up to me after words to say my church has that bill it moved from the village in to the county. and then moving across the potomac and in these areas. and then to talk about washington history so the centers are still here but there is no trace of the city left. >>cspan: you also s

we see an early copy of lee's general order number 9. and later a reproduction, it was reproduced many times in the 150 year since. -- years since. lee praised them for their sacrifice over four long years of war. their defeat had come from any deficiency on their part but from overwhelming numbers and resources. they had fought honorably in and their defeated not tarnish ed their honor one iota. they could return home with their heads held high. one of the conspicuous features of lee's address is the absence of a scapegoat. for lee, the union resources was ere the beginning and end of its defeat. other confederates did seek to place blame. while many committed lee's words to memory, they tried to forget what general thompson told his men when he surrendered in arkansas. unlike lee's farewell address which was covered by clerks and distributed to commanders, thompson chose to address the troops in person. on june 5, he told 5000 confederate soldiers "i now come to surrender you and hope you will make better citizens than you have soldiers

two days later general lee surrenders to general grant at appomattox and within a few days, april 14, lincoln is assassinated. this is a very historic photo that reflects the fact that in the summer of 1889 mr. and bls blaine, shown in the photograph, mrs. blaine in the white dress, james g. blaine to the right, that they invited the president of the united states, benjamin harrison, to spend several days with them at their summer home in bar harbor. one of the reasons, of course, for this presidential trip to maine was the fact that james g. blaine at that time was serving in benjamin harrison's cabinet. blaine had been u.s. secretary of state under garfield and briefly under president arthur but then in 1889 benjamin harrison appointed him secretary of state and he hold that position through most of the harrison administration. >> where did blaine get most of his money from? >> well, there's a lot of discussion about that and his political detractors would have said that it was ill-gotten in some ways, that was one of the issues that he ran into when he was trying to get the nominat

[ laughter ] thompson claimed they had been defeated because they lacked the honor to fight bravely. i know there are some gentlemen here, he told them. and i know there are some damn sneaky cowardly dogs. not unsurprisingly, many of thompson's soldiers rejected this claim that they were without honor, and one pleaded with thompson to talk to us like gentlemen, sir. at the outburst, thompson doubled down threatening to whip the next man to interrupt him. not unsurprisingly, thompson's soldiers left the surrender feeling embittered and angry that their commander challenged their honor at the moment of their defeat. whether

when washington crossed the delaware, billy lee was right there along with him. when general cornwallis surrendered his sword, washington and lee were there together. leaves job during the revolutionary war was to make sure washington had whatever he needed whether it was a horse, whether was it telescope, whether was a gun, whether was to run messages, billy lee was basically washington's number two copper and there's one story that i found really adjusting in the book. a group of southerners and a group of southerners looking to the civil war in advance got into an argument in the revolutionary war camp and billy lee hears about this argument that's about to break out in a fight in washington grabs his horse that really lee brings him and he galloped him to the middle of this argument and he breaks it up. right there behind him is billy lee on his horse. even when all of these major battles are going on in george washington's out there on a horse there is a billy lee right next to him. if something happens to washington's horse, then billy lee would have to give him his hor

lee left, departed, became general in the virginia army.nd his wife also left fearing that there would be problems with the federal government. arlington estate was taken over by the u.s. army. it was considered a strong hold, a way to protect washington, d.c. and so it was overrun by a number of u.s. army soldiers. the lees when they left this property asked the slaves to tend it, believing that they would return here after the war. had no idea how long the war would last but they felt that they would return. as a result of that, several years later, the u.s. government modified the tax codes stating that owners of property needed to pay their taxes in person. well, mrs. lee could not pay her taxes in person. and as a result, the property was taken by the u.s. government as a result of taxes not being paid. in addition to that property being taken, the syphax property at the southern end of the estate was taken but there was no proof that they owned that property. so years later, about 1866, the syphax's oldest son had the opportunity to w

other loyalists such as former virginia attorney general and utah senator mike lee struggled in vain at the party convention in cleveland last month to change r.n.c. rules to choose r.n.c. committee chairs. if elected she would be no more likely than to creed power but her chairmanship would almost certainly be seen as strengthening the hand of those party activists who caught changes and is highly advantageous for her running mate. should fiorina, former c.e.o. at hewlett-packard, decide to seek the party chairmanship she would be able, experts on campaign finance told fox draw on the funds accumulated by at least two of the three political action committees associated with her. >> i think those leadership paths can be used without striction. she'll have to report it to the f.e.c. but there's no limitation on the use of those funds to promote her candidacy to the r.n.c. >> reporter: regardless of whether carly fiorina seeks or even wins the r.n.c. chairmanship party insiders tell fox news that there is a real hunger for changes in itself. that battle will have to wait until after no
