we also have a paragon lets that belonged to general lee. these goblets were worn by general lee during the chancellorsville campaign, which was considered to be one of his finest hours. it was hope that the move into pennsylvania would be a turn in the war. it didn't turn out that way. after the confederates were defeated at the battle of gettysburg and forced to retreat into regina, that pretty much guaranteed that the war would continue on. it was also a turning point in the war. the south had finally bumper to a serious defeat and it showed that the south was an invincible and it gave the northern armies new hope. the exhibit space we are in now talks about the end of the war. from the surrender at appomattox up through the years after the war. it talks a bit about the lives of veterans after the war. this figure represents efraim slaughter. he was a former slave. he was with the 37th united states colored troop, a hard-fought unit in 1864. he participated in several battles, including the battle of newmarket heights. after the war, efra

extraordinary contrast between the two commanders, was so aristocratic looking while general grant looked like an ordinary dude. while lee had his best dress uniform, the commander of the northern army did not. instead he wore his preferred casual uniform with his lieutenant general shoulder straps pinned. in addition he was covered in mud from the journey that they. he did not think that he was insulting, he just wanted to get the deal done. the two commanders engaged in a conversation with their service of the mexican war. ofbrought the conversation short and asked for the terms of surrender. read responded that it was the same that he had indicated on april 8. saying that the men and officers surrender could not take up arms again. now famously in his memoir, grant observed the counterparts faced during the conversation. he did not know what lee's feelings were as he was a man of much dignity with an impassive face. it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad. i think we can be grateful that there was no tweaking back then. [laughter] .rant prepared to write or when i put my pen to paper i thought there was

the two-stage general lee as americans to spend 6 percent >> particularly for the port to don't spend as much money on clothing. and allied the benefits on trade even those with the manufacturing industry to were hit hard. that give say big number. a lot of those were union jobs to make it good solid id middle-class salaries. with the social security disability and the impact in when you lose the factory such a the local services and those effects are pretty sick of it can. >> to what extent that the job loss of productivity to eliminate the jobs full stop rather than those cheaper imports coming. >> i have three answers that are short. technology and 75%. in we don't buy a more to consume more services. i think about it as a false dichotomy if you are the u.s. textile companies if you just can't meet the competition than the second is how do you do that you invested technology so is that the job loss to technology or trade critics so it doesn't really matter and it shouldn't we should not have the trade adjustment for this program litigious meant assistance program. >> so it doesn't

grant was -- lee was -- have a generation ahead of grant, and so grant admired lee. he knew who he was. he knew of his various accomplishments. lee had been superintendent of west point. he was born into a pat trish chantally. hi iowa of a pa trish shan person. everything of the southern gentry, and not that grant was poor white trash but he was a frontier family of a very different type. so they became finally face to faves and his own soldiers said, but you of never faced bobby lee. and then a general arrived in lee's -- grant's camp, some he said that, i know lee, he's going to do this and do that and divide us, and grant grant was a very calm man but became agitate and he said i'm getting tire tired of peek talking about robert e. lee. it's lie you expect to arrive in our camp and turn a double so many somersault and honest in front of us. but johnson wanted to try lee for robe. and grandsaid you will not. he is the spirit to all leader of the southern people and the way treat him will say everything about the way we'll treat the southern people. you will not try

king, but also, robert e lee, confederate general. after people started calling out, they tweeted again saying the city didn't name the day, and that they are holding mlk event. well, after the jackson free press posted the city ordinance declaring the third monday of january as great americans day, the city again tweeted this time it was a quote from the mayor saying as far as i'm concerned, it is called doctor martin luther king, jr. day. >>> should be. that is the federal holiday. >> we saw it in virginia in 1983, whatever it was, when they merged king day with lee jackson day. >> it happened in two other states, too, arkansas, i can't remember the other stay. >> bill uncles is, we hear you. >> not even the secret service could stop the president elect. >> plus, paying to drive on toll roads can be a real drag.

and from that position the union army was able to repel the next two day books of assault from general lee's army and basically held the union army together and by implication, held the union together. it's my belief after researching this book and there are 909 footnote in this book. you'll apologize if i look a little i weary but after researching this book, is my contention that what happened with this kid on the first day in the 2200 men that were near him on the battlefield was every bit as important as what happened at pickett's charge two days later. because if they hadn't acted and gone into the breach, the whole union army would have been rolled up and probably pushed back into either harrisburg or baltimore or washington. so from that point, it became evident to me that putting the two events together, some of the mythmaking that had come up contemporaneously around that one episode with pat tillman, how we are so quick to make a hero. the story was that he heroically led discounter charge in afghanistan and no doubt he did but when you started peeling down the real story, it was n

grant was -- lee was half a generation ahead of grant. and so grant admired lee. he knew who he was. he knew of his various accomplishments. lee had been superintendent at west point. he was born into a patrician family, his wife was a patrician person. he was everything of the kind of southern gentry. not that grant was poor white trash, but, i mean, he was a frontier family of a very different like. so they became, finally, face to face. and his own soldier said you yoe never faced bobby lee. and after the second day of the wilderness, a general arrived in grant's camp, and he said to the general, well, i know lee, he's going to do this, and he's going to do that, he's going to divide us and drive us back north. and grant, who was a very, very calm man was observed by horace porter or, and grant became pretty agitated, and he said i am getting tired of people talking about robert e. lee. it's like you expect him to arrive in our camp and turn a double somersault and land right in front of us. and so he went forward and defeated robert e. lee. but he had a tremen

three states it's the holiday that honors him and simultaneously confederate-owning state general robert e. lee. martin luther king day has been observed since 1986. even now we still don't have a full national consensus on how it should be celebrated. but even if you still feel the need to shout out on confederacy day, people who buy that would still concede one way you do not commemorate that is by attacking a living civil rights icon. if you feel the need to spend the mlk commemoration attacking someone who marched alongside martin luther king, was a friend of martin luther king, beaten to an inch of his life in selma in 1965, even then, i think everyone could probably agree that even if you are going to do that, you still shouldn't attack congressman john lewis specifically by telling the world that he is all talk, talk, talk, no action or results. if we can agree on one thing that nobody should do, you would think this would be it. but that's how our incoming president spent the mlk holiday this weekend. joining us now is the new chairman of the black caucus. cedric richmond, thanks for be

ironically, warren would have done much better under a general like robert e. lee than he did under the micromanager u.s. grant. after his success at the railroad here, warren wrote to his wife, grant spoke kindly of my past services and efforts, but thought i was too self-reliant in executing my duties and did not stoutly obey orders and cooperate in his general plans closely enough. here again, that damnable self-reliance. warren is often castigated for overstepping his authority for questioning or changing his orders and for acting as if he knew better than his commanders. yet if you know the history of this man, all of his commanders always came to him and conferred with him. meade looked upon warren -- meade and warren and andrew humphries, all three engineers had a working relationship. they respected each other. and they bounced their ideas off of each other. if you're the boss, you want to know what your senior executives think before you go into action. so at least, even if you disagree, you can act in concert. and that's the way meade operated with warren

but robert e lee is a general. he was a pivotal figure in the civil war. you say, this is what robert e lee did. it's not endorsing robert e lee, is not showing him with a gun shooting a 2-year-old, it's not doing any of that. that argument is bogus. >> i disagree with you. >> bill: so come historical figures -- >> i think you are supporting my argument, you are saying, something of historical significance -- by the way, lisa, you said, false narrative. there is no false narrative. do you go ask the minority community in this country -- >> from ferguson? >> he will find out lots of people have lots of problems. >> bill: there is no history in that picture. >> wait a minute. i didn't lisa refer to ferguson and the tensions between police and black people?

biography of john pope who i was surprised and sometimes generally dismissed, sent to fight west and fight indians following his defeat by robert lee. he had an important role in the indian wars, more importantly that he had extraordinarily humanitarian views of indians. and the plight of the indians, he was very sympathetic to them.i thought it was unique to pope and i discovered thatwas a prevailing point of view on the part of most of the army high command. i found that remarkable. it was redemptive that they had empathy for the indians and their circumstances and their plight so that led me intothe indian wars. the title , the title is not a quote. it's from my own imagination but it derives from , you will find various combinations of lyrics in indian songs of the period that we used for mother earth, sad, weak and weeping, also reflect their deteriorating situation in the west. >> your sources, you begin your study of course as the eyewitness to the indian wars. and the, you expanded the battles and leaders as well but with the indian wars, thisbook really gives a challenged view , you are one of the first to give such a bala
