how did we get from george washington to george w. bush? how do we get from washington to barack obama? how do we get from george washington to donald trump? now, one of the striking things is that, if you go from george washington two most presidents before the current president, you see a, kind of, when your progression. now, some people would think that it's a decline, that the curve slips down. in fact, this question -- this comparison between the first president and the current president goes all the way back to the second president. presidents always look better in the rearview mirror then they do when they are right front and center. part of this is, that we tend to, i don't know, we tend to forget the failures, and remember the successes. that's part of it. the other thing is, that presidents are usually pretty talented people. and so, they usually have a lot of positive things that can be said about them. but while they are president, typically the other party, or sometimes factions with their own party, have an incentive to tell yo

go to mount vernon and spend set mount vernon get herself invited there in order to talk to george, washington and martha washington about sort of her teaching career. so she's she's an entrepreneurial in that sense. and then she's always just economic on sort of in an entrepreneurial sense. her lectures are subscription lectures, which meant you were supposed to pay up front. so what that meant was that you'd you had to get the money you got the money before you gave the lecture and you tried to encourage people that you were going to have like a whole course of lectures so that you could get a big subscription up front and she does that repeatedly in cities and granville ganter. who's the other person who he's wrote a wonderful article about entrepreneurial lecturing points out that one thing people did was in order to start a school. you need some sort of expenses covered and so if you arrived in a location and gave some lectures you showed yourself off as a teacher and then you also sort of got some enough money to be able to rent a house and and get supplies and things like that. so she's

decision george, washington, he had everything going for him. why in the world would he want to disrupt the status quo reminded by the way that revolutionaries they're not reformers. they're not radicals. they're way off the deep end the deep left end of the spectrum. they want to burn the house down and start over again. what would make george washington do such a thing? but anyway, so i asked them to try to reimagine. you don't know how this is going to turn out. let's say your george washington or benjamin franklin or john adams or any number of the other people that i profile in this book. what makes you take the step? you if you want to understand what it was like to be alive and i'll just say one thing. so historians do two things one is they explained? how how and why what happened happened, but i think another thing that they do released i try to do is to put readers and my students back at a moment in time when the future is unknown. and they have to make these decisions. so what was it like to be george washington? what was it like to

just to show how far we've come george washington in his will ask for no funeral oration. so he didn't want any funeral and one of the reasons that i surmised is that washington had such a strong sense of republican virtue. and that in america our leaders were citizens first, and we were much different from the monarchs and the of all europe so he had asked for no funeral. now washington was a freemason. so the freemasons had asked martha they can hold a modest funeral for him and they did and i think there's maybe an image of the funeral and it was just a couple of hundred marchers that were in the funeral. he was he died and was interred. at mount vernon but the funeral did set some precedence that are still in practice today, the the military flourishes the 21 guns salute the riderless horse that we still see today. now over time with advances in in technology and as the country grew funerals began to become more elaborate and significantly when the president died in office like william henry harrison being the first president diane office in washington, dc. there was a

but political forces were at work that were bigger than george washington's death. a couple of successful examples of how presidential funerals and presidential deaths have really been catalyst for change, one being after james garfield had died, when he was assassinated. one of the reasons, one of the dividing issues of the time was over civil service reform and the spoils party. out of that assassination, shortly after the pendleton act is signed and civil service reform begins to take shape. perhaps one of the most potent examples of reconciliation being spawned by a presidential death and funeral is ulysses s grant's. because grant had died 20 years after the civil war. so, a generation after the civil war when the country is still greatly divided, north and south. but grant was really, perhaps, the one individual that was beloved north and south of the mason-dixon line. dying a generation after the civil war, the nation was really ready for reconciliation. he was really the perfect man at almost the perfect time to bring about some of that reconciliation. durin

george washington, in his will, asked for a no funeral arrangements. but he didn't want any funeral. and one of the reasons that i surmise is that washington had such a strong sense of republican virtue, and that in america, our leaders were citizens first, and we were much different from the monarchs and the tyrants of all europe. so he had asked for no funeral. no, washington was a free mason, so the free masons had asked martha if they could hold a modest funeral for him. and they did, and i think there is going to be an image of the funeral. and it was just a couple of hundred marchers that were in the funeral. he was -- he died and then was interned at mount vernon. but the funeral did set some presidents that are still in practice today. the military flourishes, the 21 gun salute, the riderless that we still see today. now, overtime, with advances in technology, and as the country guru, funerals began to become more elaborate. and significantly, when the president died in a fuss, like william henry harrison being the first president to die in off

but the navy has moved more than 200 sailors off the uss george washington.mmand climate and culture on the ship. the results are expected later this week. how extensive would you expect that investigation to be gwynn the navy has already said in that statement that it has full faith and confidence in the leaders on that ship? >> yeah, i can't really speak to what the navy will or won't say in those reports, but from what my research and my colleagues' research seem to indicate is hopefully they're looking to factors away from the battlefield. so we're thinking of things such as sociological factor, economic factors, psychological factors, because as we know, suicide is a multifactoral problem. so we probably need to approach it from a multidisciplinary perspective. >> yeah, of course. this is particularly high level of suicide on this ship, in that noncombat situation, though. the navy also says that it's focusing on providing a safe, healthy and supportive environment for sailors on board this aircraft carrier, but clearly, that was not the case for those w
