george washington comes in. has a child at her breast and it's not clear whether sheatfz bares her breast. she says there are people -- washington is trying to kill me. there are people coming out the ceiling at me. washington writes -- alexander hamilton writes, this is a shame. aaron burr says she's guilty. but he knew a lot of women. at any rate washington is sympathetic to her, allows her to go back to her family in philadelphia from which she then goes and joins arnold. we know more than people did at the time. washington -- in terms of actual judgment, there's another case where he didn't judge correctly. in the framework of the 18th century, he did almost the inevitable response to her distress. any other questions? there's one here. >> i know very little about -- i was going to say hamilton. not hamilton, arnold. i want to know why was he not promoted in the beginning? wha-k(d happened that he did not get his promotion? second of all, is there anything written that maybe he was just a sociopath or a psych

acclimation for george washington was the one time it went smoothly. even then, there were problems. but the founders did not count on were the bitter differences that immediately grew up among them, almost the moment the new constitutional government was in place. not just personal rivalries, but fundamental policy choices arose over what kind of republic would come, who would benefit, what the place in the world would be. people can complain that politics is too polarized today, with liberals and conservatives on talk show panels. if you want to know where polarization started, the hostility began. look no further than the founders. the people they tried to rule over and the complicated world polarization is us and it's always been. thomas jefferson alexander hamilton installed two main pillars of george washington's administration there we go? hamilton -- hamilton appeared. so jefferson, i hope i don't -- i don't need to label these guys for y'all. so i didn't. jefferson on the left, hamilton on the right. with these two guys impaled -- impaled? ins

smith national library for the study of george washington, which is where we are. i'm the founding director. this is our evening bookstores. the ford motor company has been a great supporter of mount vernon since henry ford donated the first fire engine to the estate. we want to make sure that the mansion doesn't burn down. that's been a longtime concern of ours. and an ongoing issue. but we're really thankful to ford the ford family and the ford motor company, for their continuing support for all of our projects. mount vernon, of course, doesn't take any government money. it's all supported by private funds. so we depend upon people patriotic citizens around the world to support the mission of educating people about george washington's life and legacy. it's great to see everybody out here tonight. it's great to welcome c-span as well, and c-span's audience, to this wonderful evening lecture. so welcome guys! this is going to be a great evening. this is our evening book talk. this is december, as you all know, the end of the year. this is the end of our first year

everyone wanted to be a part of george washington's inner circle, but only madison had the caliber, the trustworthiness in washington's estimate, to be his principal advisor during those critical early days, when washington is trying to figure out, what does a president do? >> was there a great detail of debate about what would exactly be in the bill of rights, or was it sort of generally understood that it would be religion, speech et cetera? >> there was an enormous amount of debate over what a bill of rights would look like. many of the state ratifications virginia included, sent recommendations to congress, long lists, we think you should pass these amendments, in the first session. there were literally hundreds of different ideas. but madison focused on a few things. number one, he wasn't going to do anything structural. some of the amendments focused on weakening the executive stripping away important powers from congress like the power to regulate trade, we weren't going to go to anything structural. we were going to focus on fundamental liberties. madison here is trying to take

he writes a moving letter to george washington -- shoot me like a soldier. on't hang me like a common thief or a spy. ast as most of you know washington hung him in a very emotional hanging indeed. this is a contemporary drawing. benjamin talmidge a very interesting person. he said he was never moved by any man as much as he was moved by meeting andre who he was in charge of him as a prisoner. he wrote when i saw him swinging it seemed for a time that i could not support it. all of the spectators seemed to be overwhelmed by the spectacle and many were suffused with tears. washington is severely criticized for this. washington, in clinton's mind, this is premeditated murder. inexcusable and never to be forgiven. a widely read poem at the time said this about washington. oh washington. i thought thee great and good. nor knew thy nero oh thirst for guiltless blood. severe to use the power that fortune gave. t hou cool, determined murderer of the brave. pretty tough. hamilton wrote to his bride and said, i must inform you that i urged the compliance with andre's

george washington helped create the nation but john marshall as supreme court chief justice, the first effective chief justice, he was the fourth chief justice of the first effective one used the court to defend the nation against potential tyranny by the executive and judicial branches of government. the constitution is of very vague document and cable almost all powers to the house of representatives, the house of representatives, the only body elected directly by the people themselves, the senate was appointed by various state legislatures at the time. the president was elected by all but durrell college who themselves were appointees of state legislatures and the judiciary, a court of appeals, it had no power, it had power to hear appeals of cases from lower courts and either of holes or deny the decisions of the lower courts. chief justice marshall stepped in at a time when washington had just died and the success of the founding fathers john adams thomas jefferson alexander hamilton, aaron burr called all of them comrades at one point, either comrades at the continental congress

george washington university invited ava and her family to a colonials basketball game. she had a courtside seat for the game against duquesne and got to hang out with george and some of the players. she still got to meet george washington. >> i think she's a future historian. a real connection. >> they offered, you want to meet president obama? she was set on george washington. >> first president. >>> a security breach at the white house. we'll explain what made its way over the fence and how. >> and hot lanes getting virginia drivers heated. >> and next, an auschwitz survivor reflects on the state of the world 70 years after the camp was liberated. >>> tomorrow marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million people died at that camp. >> every year there are fewer survivors left to remember the horror. bruce leshan talked to one of them. >> when i first saw it, it had such an impact on me, because even now i still see how important it was. >> reporter: he has seen it a thousand times but 70 years after liberation the image o

george washington's mt. vernon hosted this hour-long event. >> for that introduction, thank you so much. i wish my parents could have heard that. it would have made my father very proud and my mother actually would have believed you. so there you go. well, for me as you suggested, this lecture concludes an amazing year that began just a year ago when the library, the fred w. smith library for the study of george washington opened and i was able to take a seat as one of the inaugural library fellows. during that year, i learned what a treasure all of you have in mt. vernon. led by kurt v. brands and with the library led by doug bradburn, the staff here is simply extraordinary. they're extraordinarily dedicated, they're extraordinarily loyal and they're extraordinarily collegial. for 150 years the mt. vernon ladies association has kept this place special. and with the new library, the orientation and education center, no crop of those women have done a better job than the current one, at least since martha did

>> yes, in the last out where received an update at george washington university hospital. patient conditions range from mild to moderately ill from smoke inhalation. one dead, two in critical. 25 patients are at medstar washington center, 40 at howard university and 34 at gw. the emergency vehicles echoed as dozens of victims were rushed to area hospitals. >> it was pretty serious. thought she was going to die, but she is going to be ok. >> they were headed to the airport when the train car abruptly stopped in filled with choking smoke. >> we all try to get down, but people passed out. >> they were transported to george washington hospital, treated for everything from smoke and elation, as well as nausea -- smoke inhalation and nausea. >> we were in the front car. there was smoke pouring in. >> they had to do whatever they could to avoid the cloud that struck metro riders like an ambush. >> for an hour! >> first ration and fear with passengers who did not know where to turn. >> people were vomiting, sick. we don't know what it was. nobody is saying what it was just that it

it is a work of art and the george washington bridge is beautiful. and i think up to think what a great sign this is. it will be a work of art. >> talk about how your work as a reporter. >> i will say one more thing. when i go out to interview and hire workers over street sweepers or window washers i never dress down i always dress up one is because of the pride in my father's work in the week through the stitching but also i take great pride to be a journalist i thought of his dressing up for this story. if i go and where a hard hat, like i did, always but i didn't want to dress like a working man because i thought it would be dishonorable to dress up for this story. i do think going to a ceremonial wedding or a funeral we dress up. when we go to a funeral we see the casket and the person is dressed up. i could never understand why we you go to see people or interview people it could be robert moses or a hard-nosed murphy that you should dress up. and i believe the dressing up for people pays respect to them. and to the story into the profession whi

i'm wondering if there was any correspondence between george washington and george mason as he went through that same area and reported back to george mason that -- all the difficulties with tenancy and indians and getting settlers to have courage to go in there and try to establish farms. >> absolutely there was communication between washington and mason on those and with the other developers. mason, i believe -- my memory is that his lands were on the other side of the ohio. washington's were all on this side of the ohio river. i think mason was on the other side of the ohio. but it was directly across from washington's holdings in what's now west virginia. and so, yes, they talked often. they were very close friends at that stage. it was a shared concern to open this territory. it wasn't just mason. it was many virginians had staked their future. these areas, including -- across the river was part of virginia until 1784. even after 1784, kentucky and west virginia remained part of virginia until 1792 before kentucky was split off. i think it was '92, '94. those territories mason was invo

, and he met in in parsons life of george washington. this was one of first biographies of washington that was published. he knew washington very slightly. he boasted that he was the parson of mount vernon parish. there is no such parish and he was not the rector of a. but he claimed that connection and he was an itinerant book dealer as well as a clergyman and he realized that a biography of washington would be a good seller. so washington died in 1799 weems make some changes to his biography, 1880 version that abraham lincoln would read. and weems' biography is still in print. you can still, you can still buy it on amazon and we still remember stories on. the writing the sentences are not good but the paragraphs are great and the stories are terrific, and the proof is that we still remember some of them. the most famous one is young george and the cherry tree. his father gives him a hatchet. the little boy swings it around and accidentally chops the bark of a prized cherry tree. the father asks george, how did this happen who did this?

the university says that the george washington bridge scandal took a negative effect on christie, his disapproval rating is 48 percent. president obama is pretty popular in the garden state his approval rating is at 45 percent. >>> meanwhile governor christie is making plans for another trade mission. this time he is taking a three day trip to london next month. this follows similar trips to canada and mexico. it is supposed to double as another opportunity to bolster the governor's foreign policy credentials. the christie is considering a run for the white house as

i feel i must mention here that george washington's only visit abroad was to the islands of barbados. he went there at a time when he hadn't visited many parts of the 13 colonies. he went there with his older half-brother, lawrence washington, who was ill. lawrence washington later died and left george washington [indiscernible] mount vernon was named after a british admiral in the caribbean. admiral vernon introduced a tradition of serving rum in the british navy and therefore, even mount vernon had a caribbean connection. benjamin franklin said his nephew, who is something of a black sheep called benjamin makem, he sent him down to the island of antigua. franklin's own apprentice when he was in philadelphia was active in barbados. they had an active renting presses. perhaps the most famous connection is alexander hamilton, who was born on the island. these are just representatives. there was a tremendous traffic in people and mutual knowledge and it was quite likely that many would know the islands more than they knew many of their neighboring states. the islands shared with the mai

in president johnson's case, he chose george washington, andrew jackson, and his hero, franklin roosevelt. he was very much a product of the new deal and was a protege in many respects a friend than roosevelt, who saw the great potential in great -- young lyndon johnson. when johnson became president, it was his hope you would finish the new deal -- he would finish the new deal would finish with his great society what roosevelt started with the new deal. one thing f.d.r. left unaddressed in his presidency was civil rights. i think ultimately president johnson will be remembered as the civil rights president for having signed into law the civil rights act of 1954 which broke the back of jim crow and our separate but equal laws throughout the south. the voting rights act of 1965 gave all americans unimpeded access to the ballot box and the fair housing act of for all americans. that is a triumvirate of civil rights legislation and is a legacy of lyndon johnson. >> find out where our local content vehicles are going next online at c-span.org/l ocalcontent. you are watching american history t

and here george washington gave him an opportunity to really hone his skills as a military general. became a hero both in america and france for his great successes here. he went back to france and as an american hero, and part of his story that i think is so interesting is that in america he was beloved as a frenchman in america. but in france he was always sort of seen as an american in france. so he sort of lived his life almost between two worlds. during the french revolution that really became apparent when he tried to chart a middle course between the radical republicans on one side, and the people who wanted to create an american sound republic in france it and on the other side the people who supported an absolute monarchy and did not want to give over any power. so he was trying to again chart this middle path ended up having to flee the french revolution for his life when his head was being called for when he fled. he lived for many, many years after the french revolution starts and 78 789. he lives until 1834 and he's involved with many many more episodes, many, many more

[cheers and applause] >> according to adams family lore, when abigail smith married john adams on october 25, 1764, the reverend smith, abigail's father preached a sermon on a text from matthew. for john came neither eating wed or -- charles francis adams recorded the story in his grandmother's memoir and explains the reverend's choice of text as his response to the weymouth congregation. he suggests that a portion of the parisher ins thought that the son of a small farmer of a middle class was scarcely good enough to match with the minister's daughter, descended from so many of the shining lights of the colony. the reverend smith message may have included his more personal reflections which charles francis preferred to disregard o

washington or george washington carver, rather than king. by resorting to ugly, unseemly tactics of character assassination and guilt by association, larry mcdonald and john ashbrook played into the hands of supporters of the holiday. their opposition to the holiday was much more colorful, much more photogenic, then the opposition people who complained about the budget and historical perspective. at any rate, both ashbrook and mcdonald died before final action came on the bill in 1983. the bill went to the senate, which had never done in 1979. the bill went to the senate for the first and only time in 1983. jesse helms rose to the occasion by taking up the mantle of anti-communist guilt by association and character association -- assassination that he learned from ashbrook and mcdonald, who failed to make it work in the house. helms had generally stayed out of debates on the king holiday up to that point. only jumping in at the last minute in a showdown that really grabbed headlines with ted kennedy, who led the charge for the other side. wh

george washington began that practice of giving a state of the union message to congress when the first congress met, but washington went in person to the congress, went to the senate chamber, and delivered a speech that had a series of recommendations. a relatively short speech. but in those days before there were standing committees of congress, they actually used to cut the state of the union message up into paragraphs and create ad hoc committees to address each one of the issues that the president suggested. washington and adams, john adams his vice president who became president followed that practice and so they created this sort of idea that from time to time was an annual message and, in fact, for years it was known as the annual message. it didn't become known as the state of the union message, really until the 1940s. in fact, in 1948 there was a hollywood movie called "state of the union" and that cemented the idea that the annual message was the state of the union message. president washington and adams went in person to congress. thomas jefferson, however, didn't enjoy publ
