apologetic, much more openly pro-slavery than the apologetic slave holders we've heard about, george washington, thomas jefferson. our constitution deep structure, despite maybe the best instreakses of the framers, more slave-ocratic, it's in the dna than we've been taught. and our constitution is much more about national security, about being able to beat the british, for example. vic at the age of 6 understood. he isn't up there on mt. rush more because they burned the capitol on his watch and that's not such a good thing. our constitution, general jackson, like general washington, knows how to beat the british and so manifest destiny, the monroe doctrine, isolationist america, these are all captured by andrew jackson. they're epitomized by him, exemplified by him and that's the deep structure of the original constitution. more democratic, more slave-ocratic, more about national security and hemisphere isolationism. it unsurprisingly gives us it shall the constitution -- the dominant figure and peter onuf said this and i think several others have and i want you to hear it clearly, and that constituti

george mason says that. thomas jefferson says it but doesn't do stuff about it because his party depends on it. james madison understands this in his bone. so does george washington. the reasonable virginians understand their slave holders, that slavery is a bad business. you have to persuade them. then the north carolinians have to decide whether they're going to cast their lot with the nut jobs down south or with virginia and they're going to go with virginia and you have to isolate the nut jobs. there are nut jobs, they have to be isolated. it at the time the center are the reasonable slave holders, george washington, preeminent among them, and you could have done it and it was a failure of craft. it seems mean to emphasize the one thing but the system basically did did break because of it. and we need to understand that because our system could be at risk today. see, i'm a presentist. i want to you understand they almost failed because we could, unless we, the people, today solve our problems in time, we need a

unlike george washington and thomas jefferson, theirs are not household names. nevertheless, their lives provide a window on the larger collective experience of women during the american revolution and will help show us how and in what ways women can be legitimately considered along with men as the founders of our nation. the first woman i'd like to talk about is a woman named ester deburt reed. reed was born in london in 1747, the daughter of a wealthy merchant who traded with -- who was the daughter of a wealthy merchant who had extensive trading relationships with the american colonies. in 1763 joseph reed of new jers jersey, also the child of a merchant, went to london to study the law at the ends of court, a very common thing for american gentry to do in the prerevolutionary period. there through a common circle of social friends he met ester debert and ester and joseph were immediately enamored of one another. unfortunate unfortunately, family circumstances forced joseph reed to return to america in 1765, just as britain and the colonies were beginning the

it was, first thing that happened was that george washington and thomas jefferson hired pierre lafond to lay out the grid of the city. one of the marvelous things about writing this book is that the addresses i talk about in 1850 are the same as he addresses today. because the design is the same. and basically washington, d.c., has been filling in ever since. so ground was broken in early to mid-1790s. congress moved the capital in 1800, moved to d.c. in 1800. at the time the senate, the senate was built, a senate was built. does nothing but a big hole where the rotunda would be. and the house was look like a big dutch oven. i think it was called the dutch often. it was this brick structure that you could just imagine what it was like in july. and then there was a walkway that went from house to the centric so that was 1800. of course, in 1814 the british torched the whole thing. and then it was others after the war of 1812 that rebuild the capital. and produced this. by 1825 this was done. in -- it was shortly after that when jackson came in, that he took bulfinch aside and said than

george mcclellan, what an interesting choice. it's my great pleasure to introduce our fifth and final nominator, emery thomas. he drove up from athens, georgia, where he's a professor of history emeritus at the university of georgia, but he's really coming home. he and his wife fran are native richmo richmonders. as a matter of fact, emery starred on the thomas jefferson high school football team as the center and the quarterback was james henry benford p.iii who is now the superintendent at the virginia military institute. emery went from thomas jefferson to the university of virginia, where he was a two-sports star. one as the center on the football team, and two is the captain of the party team at the deke house. emery has written widely and perceptively on many aspects of confederate history and biography including the volume about the confederacy in the new american nation series, an acclaimed biographies of jeb stewart and robert e. lee. he's an old friend of the museum of the confederacy and has written and lectured about the museum itself and its role in civil war memory. his latest work "the dogs of

if we look at people like thomas jefferson and george washington, the own slaves, lots of slaves. as a terrible thing, and inhumane thing. the food to think about their role in history just unbuttoning slavery, we would miss a lot about what they did to form their country. and i think deng ziaoping is a complicated character. he did crack down and felt they needed to to keep the peace and allow the country to grow. but he also led the country to modernization. since he came to power perhaps 300 million people have come out of poverty and are now living fairly comfortable lives. the countryside has turned into an open area. he has brought modernization technology, raised the standard of living and chinese people have really joined the world, entered international organizations. students come abroad and back to china per unique technology, new ideas so is truly transformed the country. i think personally if you start to think which leader of the 20th century did more to change the shape of world history, i think there is a strong argument that maybe it was deng ziaoping. ..
