he takes office as governor of georgia january 12th 1971 and famously says to the people of georgia the time for racial discrimination is over. and this is, in part, what really elevates him in terms of the national profile. the new york times picked up on that. and the following day on the front page there is an article about jimmy carter and his inauguration as governor. he said to the people of georgia and within several weeks -- actually a couple of months, time magazine put some on the cover as an example of a new south governor also mentioned in that article, but carter is the one who is on the cover of time magazine. carter almost immediately begins to think about running for president after being governor of georgia. maybe even who knows, a few days, 40 begins looking toward larger rises. and, in fact, about the time within a day or two of george mcgovern's cataclysmic loss to richard nixon and the presidential campaign of 1962, carter sits down with others of his advisers and begins to plot out his rise to the presidency four years later. at the end of 1973, at the beginning of

are not coming largely because georgia didn't extend medicaid? >> it's largely not coming because of obamacare. they cut the rates. we need to give more power to the states and have more flexibility to deal with the priorities that they have in these rural and smaller hospitals that have a disproportionate share of medicaid and medicare patients. i think the medicaid patients should come back in the form of block grants. >> i know you've been vocal on this issue as well. what's your solution to these georgia rural hospitals going out of business? >> i've been talking to folks that run rural hospitals and that are partners to rural hospitals around the statement. they tell me we should have expanded medicaid as a state. that we are not allowing 650,000 people that should have access to have access. we're paying their emergency bills and sending the others elsewhere. we need to work together. we can't afford to be gridlock. we need to fix what's not working and not have a stalemate while folks in rural communities suffer. >> thank you. let's move t

a second pistol factory at columbus, georgia. all of these have required incessant toil and attention, but have borne such fruit as relieves the country from fear of want in these respects. want where three years ago, we were e not making a gun, pistol nor saber, nor shot nor shell, p except at the works, a pound ofs powder. now we make all of these in quantities to meet the demands s of our large army. in looking over all of this, i , feel that my three years of labor have not passed in vain. i want to spend a few minutes, or the rest of my time principally elaborating on what this confederate achievement principally in central georgia and central alabama was. because in the end, it can be argued, and certainly many be federal soldiers who fought at y alatoona and dalton and franklin and decatur and nashville probably would agree, na engagements that occurred aftern the atlanta campaign, it is, in the end, that sherman'serman' greater success was probably with the second part of grant's directive rather than the first. the army

macon, georgia, is another important facility. macon, too, will go through kind of the same development process of where first existing private firms like the d.c. hodgkins and son and findley iron works are contracted with. but eventually hodgkins and findley are going to be bought out by the confederate government. and along with other facilities established, they incorporate it into what is on paper the macon arsenal there. also will be -- to be located in macon is an armory for the production of small arms. and after a certain of some time, it was decided to locate the national armory of the new confederate states of america at macon, georgia. to build an armory just like that at springfield, and what had been at harper's ferry in virginia. to locate that at macon. and property was acquired for the armory, and construction began. these are two buildings that were used by the confederate states laboratory. part of the arsenal complex producing some of the ordnance items. they also begin construction of this national armory. bec

the two candidates running in georgia's senate race participated in a forum hosted by the georgia chamber of commerce. democrat michelle nunn and republican david perdue. they talk about transportation, national defense, and immigration. they are vying for the seat of saxby chambliss. this is 40 minutes. >> welcome to you all. thank you for being here. i'm john pruitt, retired newscaster for wsb, and they pulled me out of retirement and dusted me off in order to moderate a forum. we're sold out here and this will be televised live by wmaz. perhaps some other outlets. we will be seeing rebroadcasts of the forum on other media outlets around georgia. so it's going to receive wide exposure because this is the first time candidates michelle nunn and david perdue have been on the same stage. in order to preserve the utmost time for this exchange, we would ask you to refrain from applause or audience reaction with the exception to when the candidates are introduced and at the conclusion of the forum. i want to tell you a few words about the format that was agreed to by both campaigns after some

at the civil war center at kennesaw state university in georgia. this is about 45 minutes. >> thank you. it's always good to get down here -- my mother was born in a house that's about three or four mile miles. i've been coming up here all my life. this is the 150th anniversary of the sesquicentennial of the year 1864. crucial year in the civil war, and we're in the process of commemorating what in the 1860s was probably the most crucial military campaign of the civil war. and it is to coin a phrase all together fitting and proper we should do this. it is especially fitting and proper that those others who are georgians would do this either by birth or by option. i want to give a little background of why it's so important and then get around to offering ideas of the campaign when you think about what happened during the american civil war you've got to remember during the civil war there were three great areas where military operations took place. way over here. the appalachian mountains, and the area right in the middle. during the course of the c

on may 1st, at and near dalton in northwestern georgia. but there's a fact that in the official records there's a document dated april 30th, the day before, in which johnston himself reported to the confederate government that he had 55,000 men present for duty. i don't know what happened to those 12,000 men on the night of april 30th-may 1st. mass desertion. who knew. maybe the radioactive atomic cloud got there and wiped out 12 thousand of his men. or the question of casualties. johnston had his medical director, johnston lost according to his medical director 9,972 men killed and wounded in his infantry and artillery in may and june. historians have taken that up. and said johnston lost 9,972 men and they ignore those qualifications. killed and wounded. infantry and artillery, may and june. what about prisoners? what about men lost to sickness during the retreat? one time, johnston said he was losing 300 men a day to sickness. what about deserters? hood said johnston lost 22,750 men. you make reasonable estimates for casualties in the c

and they have a mock convention, where they bring georgia back into the union. it's really interesting. what they don't do, though, is they don't talk about emancipation at all in this mock convention. they just bring georgia back in. >> there were women and children from the south who were shipped via rail train to the north, who never made it back home again. has any research been done to follow up on what happened to them after the war? >> not that i'm aware of. and by -- i mean, they go willingly. it's not as if sherman is refugeeing women and children out to the north. no, i've not seen much on that. the only thing i can recall, a long time ago when i was working on my dissertation, i read a diary from a woman who had been from georgia and spent time with family in brooklyn and came back to georgia and was upset that the minister's wife wouldn't talk to her, that she was seen as having been sort of a traitor. but no, i'm not familiar with that. >> there's a professor, i believe it's mississippi state, who recently came out with a book on sherman. and advanc

so he's building supply bases that he'll need as he advances into georgia. during the campaign, he had about 5,000 wagons that were constantly on the move, from the railroad to the army in the field. as richard mcmurray, who is one of the foremost scholars of the campaign writes, and what is one of the best overviews of the campaign, and like some of the other speakers you've heard, i'll throw out some book titles. if you're like me, you love books about the civil war. mcmurray's atlanta 1864 is a very, very, very good overview. if you're looking for one book that gives you an overview, decision in the west by albert castel is also an outstanding book. mcmurray points out that sherman had a couple of big advantages over his opponent at the start of the atlanta campaign. first, sherman had command of a vast department that stretched from the appalachian mountains in the east all the way to the mississippi river. he had command of the troops within this vast military are division of the mississippi. johnson, on the other hand, commanded a much smaller departme

and retreat back into south georgia? that would be even worse.vis, therefore, on july 17th, sent a telegram, removing joe johnston from command of the army and naming general john bell hood in his place. hood fought three battles with sherman outside of atlanta pe h peachtree creek, atlanta, he did not achieve great victories, but brought sherman's advance to a halt. in late july and august, hood's cavalry wrecked sherman's cavalry in several battles south of atlanta. it appears as mid august came that sherman and if that remained the case without the victory, faced with all enormous casualties lincoln might well be doomed in the november election. but sherman tube most of his army, watched out a wide circle around atlanta. cut the railroad to macon, and hood was forced to advance. that's when scarlet and prissy and had to get in the wagon and free the city. hood had vail. lincoln had the great victory he needed. lincoln's reelection was assured. there would be for compromise with slavery. there would be no compromise with secession. that was the

wanted to do was travel back down from georgia. they were going to travel from georgia to -- let's go back one more. they were going to travel along the line of georgia, and they were going to go to florida where they were going to launch an expedition to take over florida with the support of the french. this is like a pie in the sky kind of raid. but this was enough for general elijah clark, who was this leader, this hero within the revolutionary -- with the revolutionary war. he was a hero in the aftermath as they fought against the indians, but here he was willing to leave his state and leave his country to take a chance on invading france in the summer of 1794, the spring of 1794 he along with french support was going to invade, excuse me, florida and take over spanish florida. well, when he and all the men he had managed to mobilize, they worked their way through to get to florida. but when they got there, they realized that the french were no longer participating. changes had taken place and the french were no longer going to

the reason is georgia is full of food. there is not starvation in georgia. there are southern troops that are not getting enough food. that has to do with the complete and total mismanagement of the army. it has a lot to do with jefferson davis's utter incompetence as president of the confederacy. it is not the lack of food in the south. it is a question of how you get food from north carolina and georgia and mississippi to be troops. but wirz is is in south georgia where food is available. food could have been commandeered. food could have been bought. the local women who simply want to bring fresh vegetables to the starving prisoners in andersonville could have been allowed to bring the food or they could have brought them to the camp and the camp could have brought -- camp officers and soldiers could have brought them to the prisoners. freshwater could have been obtained in a variety of ways, one of which was to order the troops upstream to stop using this creek as a latrine. the other thing would have been to take a detail of prisoners every day and marc

so those treaties that had been made between georgia and the creek and georgia and the cherokee were nullified. they meant nothing. so the georgiaens found that this federal government now, not only was it siding with the indians in their mind, it was also nullifying land sessions that they had received, which, of course, made them angry. they were incensed that the president validated these agreements and restricted their settlement to the earlier boundaries east of the oconee river. now, this is a picture of what georgia looked like in 1790. all this land that we usually think of as being georgia was actually in the hands of the native americans. and what we see is that there was a line. and this line that you see represented the border. what the rebels wanted to do was cross over the border. it's actually a river, the oconee river. they wanted to cross over the river and take possession of land that was -- that general washington or president washington excuse me had ensured would remain in the hands of the creek indians as a result of the treaty of 1790. now, the georgiaens had i

cut off the georgetown pike in what is now wheaton, maryland, and cut out to the 7th street pike, georgia avenue, so early, uncharacteristically for him decided not to invade, but there was fighting that went on with artillery and skirmishing that day, july 11th, and that night. this is all, we are now in the city of washington, d.c. it's not urban washington, d.c., but it's definitely city, and -- but back then, this was all farms out here. this is hardly considered part of washington, d.c., because washington was down there where the white house is and downtown and georgetown and so on. now they had cleared tries out for firing outside fort stevens, but this was all farmland, and people from washington came out to see what all of the excitement was about, including president lincoln. fort stevens was one of -- might have been the most extensive of the defenses of washington. there were 67 of them, not all of them were as extensive as this one. there was a magazine, looks like barracks, it was enclosed on all four sides. some of them weren't even enclosed. some of them were just pointing

to start out, georgia has a little bit of a difference here. we're the ninth largest state in overall population, but with the fifth largest prison population. we have roughly 55,000 offenders in prison and about 145,000 probationers. 94% of our population is male and 6% is female, and i think that this is, again, a reflection of other states. the male population, unfortunately has a predominance of african-americans. 62% of our population is age 25 to 45 chronologically and i'll speak a little bit more in just a second about that. 50% is over 35. so you think about your general population in the free world and how we mirror what is in the free world. we operate 120 facilities, 31 of those are prisons. we also operate county and private prisons, transitional day care and day reporting centers and probation detention centers and boot camps and again, we're responsible for producing constitutional -- providing constitutional-mandated health care. does everyone understand what that is? it means there are basically three minimal standards and one i

i mention the creak and muskogee people in present day alabama and georgia and i say present day georgia. if you look at georgia it is just along the savannah river and along the coast. it is a minuscule fraction of present-day georgia. the rest of georgia is creak country and owned by native people. and then you have the spanish presence in the southeast. you are right about that. and that raises interesting dynamics. but in 1763 the spanish lose their footholes for 20 years in the southeast and that changes the economic equation for native peoples. because now they only have one trading partner. in the past they had the french, spanish and british and that is a good place to be if you are in the business of selling deer skins. but most 1763 you just have the british and they recognize what a threat this is to their independence being solely dependented on one european power. the creaks go to havana where the spanish are and say we need to reestablish these connections. so you are absolutely right. one thing i would like to point out when we think about the history of the south and the

this is georgia avenue that you just looked at, which used to be known as the 7th street pike, which is the route that early came down, and two years after the war, the cemetery was built. it's the second smallest national cemetery. 40 union soldiers are buried in graves behind me there in the circle, and these are monuments to some of the units that served at the battle of fort stevens, but it's a place that i would easyliest mate that hundreds of thousands of people drive by every year and do not know it is here. just off georgia avenue, there's only a small sign, and it's the final resting place for 40 union soldiers killed at fighting here in washington, d.c. and a battle that people just don't know about. if you're stuck at the traffic light at 16th street, it's georgia and you're in the right-hand lane and you turn to your right, you can read the inscription on this monument to the confederate soldiers who were killed. it's a monument to a mass grave of confederate soldiers who were killed outside at fort stevens. it was moved there when the church was moved in the early 20th c
