lincoln did not write the gettysburg address on the trainer to gettysburg. it a lotinking about in the contest of slavery and abolitionism. and i'm convinced he sat there and said to himself, being a sly dog, you are going to give them two hours? i'm getting give them two minutes. no one is going to stop the president for speaking if you us to speak for 45 minutes. and i'm been a take these two minutes and him going to use them, because the other thing that he does -- and we know this wardthe diary entry in the or mcclurkin -- all the gettysburg pictures robyn gardner's studio. while lincoln is sitting there, he is surrounded by the photographs that we just saw. it is a visual recapitulation of the battlefield in a graphic form. i believe this is when lincoln begins to construct the great preordination of the gettysburg address. he says nothing we do or say here can consecrate this crowd anymore than those that have fought and died here. it is for us, the living, to create the new birth of freedom. this is where he cuts the cord with the past. for thewhen he

gettysburg came in 1863. they make good magazine articles. jefferson davis maintained from the beginning hostilities that the south should wage what he called an offense of/defensive strategy. confederates would defend their homeland using inner lines of communication. ,hen an opportunity came southern armies would counterattack. davis reasoned that in a war, three things will happen. side b will win, side a will up, or the war ends unresolved. side a is the south, it could win. what about if the war ends up in a tie? nobody has won strategic hold over the battlefield. has not one side won? stilluth won because it exists. as long as the confederate flag is flying in the breeze, the south is winning. this is what davis thought the war should do. oflizing the advantages defense, the south would curl back the attack. it would make an assault when the situation was promising. mountl losses would slowly. federal morality slip away. the north would ask for peace. the confederacy would have its independence. that is not something unique. the first p

they filled this auditorium 2,000 people and overflow of more than 400 at gettysburg college.th an appeal to get out the vote, not surprising when they set records for turnout, he often is the person who benefits the most when a turnout is low. it's really hard for him. he came into pennsylvania double digits down, some smoels the race closer. you mentioned the money being spent on ads. the campaign very proud of the fact they are basically neck and neck with hillary clinton in fund-raising over the course of this entire campaign and they started with such a huge deficit, in fact, they have outfund raised her the last three months, all three months of this year. to give you inside politics back and forth as i talk to both campai campaigns, you'll often hear hillary clinton's folks talk about how much money they are spending on ads. their argument is they've done so well with fund-raising they can afford it and, two, they came into this campaign with such a deficit they often have to go in just to introduce themselves to people with heavy adverti advertising. we will see bernie

james long street was made the scapegoat for lee losing gettysburg. one reason for that is because he had the gall to actually take a position in the grant ininistration as a collector your lives. he went over to the republican side and that was death to a political career in the south and made him a sitting target to become the scapegoat of eddie's for. lee ultimately surrendered to grant. if lee is so great, why did he lose to grant? won myth goes -- that grant only by being a butcher. grant was a butcher and he only won by a group. and finally, the newest spin on the myth of the lost cause is that union forces only won by engaging in total war. beings a phrase that is bandied about fairly loosely these days. we will take a brief look at that. ok. we will start out with what is the nature of slavery in 1861? to dealthink we need very long with the issue of was slavery beneficial to whites and blacks. certainly, certain whites benefited from it and keep in mind, please, when i say slavery, tonight in shorthand, i will be referring to slavery/white su

at gettysburg.frican-americans for their part celebrated emancipation days. for the most part, confederates lauded the lost cause. unionists the union cause. and african-americans along with their abolitionist allies the emancipationist cause. despite the fact there were these very distinct memories of the war and very concerted efforts to protect what they saw as the truth of the war, despite this, by the 1880s and 1890s there was a culture of reconciliation. americans were celebrating the fact that they had come back together. the creation of the first military park authorized by congress in 1890 and dedicated in 1895. this is proof that the nation has come back together. here we had union and confederate soldiers united to dedicate a national military park. a popular play, musicals at the time, celebrating the reunion of the nation, even political campaigns. the populist campaign celebrated reconciliation. in all of these efforts, there was a focus on the bravery and valor of the american soldier

general wesley maritz, another survivor of gettysburg. he had been present at appomattox. and second from the left, general arthur macarthur who i have always thought had a great name. and of course, you probably know who his son was. these are our union veterans who are now in key leadership positions in the spanish-american war. newspapers across the country gushed that the mason-dixon line had been obliterated by the war. they also talked about the fact that white southerners in atlanta and vicksburg celebrated july 4 for the first time since the war. here is a union veteran -- the war in spain is worth all it will cost in blood and treasure , he declared, for the confidence it begets in soldiers of both armies. they saw this war as much as liberating cubans as an opportunity to bind the nation back together. for white southerners, this was an opportunity to do more than just relish reconciliation. in fact, it also vindicated the things that they had been saying about the confederate cause, their lost cause for years now. now, they said look -- the word traitor and rebe

reconstruction did not flow directly from the emancipation proclamation or the gettysburg address as we've been taught to believe, or sherman's march it took all the shape from the confluence of the military, the social and economic in the summer and fall of 1864. the anchoring of reconstruction events allows us to address some old questions in new ways. anyone who has ever spoken about the civil war in public has heard the question, what would lincoln have done about reconstruction? and behind that question, lie others. were we doomed to have the painful reconstruction that we endured? was it for ordained that they would fight back with every weapon of their disposal. could we in short have been a stronger and better nation if abraham lincoln had seen us through the critical years that followed the war? these are good questions and they're especially compelling questions. i think the questions of abraham lincoln -- lincoln a master of language and of eloquence said relatively little about what he planned to do when the war ended. he had good reason first he could win the war before

invoking the so-called new birth of freedom that lincoln had spoken of at gettysburg countless orders suggested the new nation might in fact be born from the spanish-american war and from the dead in particular. here again is steven lee, former c confederate general. he said, quote, the last hateful memory that could divide our country is buried with them. about their graves kneels a new nation, loving all her children everywhere the same. at the atlanta peace jubilee that december, this is when the peace treaty is finally signed by december of 1898. president mckinley uses this image of the dead reunited the nations as a symbol of a reunited nation and in part a gesture of reconciliation but also a very savvy political bid to get southern support for overseas expansion. many congress members were not on board with this. he proposed the federal government should assist, monetarily, assist in caring for the graves of all civil war soldiers. sectional lines no longer mar the united states, mckinley asserted. sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other. i want you

gettysburg is of the top of the map. the next day vicksburg, the last stronghold on the mississippi river and the confederacy surrenders to union forces. the rest of 1863, it appears that union military momentum is building on that. by the end of that year, tennessee has been completely rid of confederate forces. union armies are now in georgia, union armies are threatening within 30 miles or so. everything is pointing toward a regain of union momentum and a likelihood the war will end by that following spring. one of the things that adds to that perception, victory is now likely, lincoln has identified a new general. if you know anything about the military history of the civil war, you know that lincoln has a difficult time identifying a successful commander in the eastern theater of the war. lincolnnd of 1863, brings this man, ulysses grant, from the western theater to the east. he had been very successful fighting in mississippi. and in tennessee. now he is brought to command all union armies in all theaters of war. l

all americans today know about gettysburg and of course, we should. this means the casualty rate for being a black activist in reconstruction is worse than being at gettysburg. what the white south learns early on is the danger of putting on a white robe, riding around the south, congress passes the klan act under grant's prodding. as soon as they catch one guy he names names or a lot of prison time in upstate new york. the government crushes the organized klan pretty quickly but white vigilantes in the south understand you don't need to put on a robe or have 20 guys with you. you simply sit outside of the house of a poll worker or activist and then you shoot him when he comes out the door and you ride away and no one knows and one of the main sources for the book were the freed men bureau papers and i would look at counties in the south in october, november and december of election year and they are essentially nothing bau but atrocity records where i'm sure you know in those days they voted with like a big bookmark ticket, he had the tickets and las

many of us could name the lone silian death that occurred during the battle of gettysburg, jenny wade. we also know the one woman who died in the battle of first manassas, judith henry. so that's how rare those occasions are. so he's being disingenuous when a he says this. by contrast, the success of the western village attacks depended on native americans not knowing of the enemy's approach and whereas the presence of noncombatants in vicksburg and atlanta were incidental to operation against the con federal armies defending those cities, the presence of noncombatants in a native american village was of central importance. because the greatest opportunities for victory would occur when warriors were forced into the position of having to protect the elderly women and children. and finally, while the union army could readily discriminate between mill tar and civilian targets, during a village attack, combatants and noncombatants were hopelessly intermingled. the result predictably was a level of noncombatant casualties far higher than anything seen during civil war military operations,

it was appomattox alongside gettysburg that was one of the two events that received by far the most attention during the sesquicentennial. those were the two that were the highlights, too much attention to appomattox in this view creates a misleading impression that grant and lee fashioned an agreement and wilmer mclean's parlor that ended fighting and opened the door to reunion and reconciliation. it's too neat. it's too simple. and i will say very strongly can no serious person dispute the necessity of placing the civil war within a spacious 19th century contest, specifically any attempt to grasp the centrality of the war to the larger history of the united states. you have to place it in a much broader context. to engage with its long-term racial and constitutional and social consequences. would argue against that, no one who is serious. many of the profound questions with which the civil war they aren grappled -- still present with this in some the, as we move through second decade of the 21st century. debates about central versus state authority, about the difficulty of ordering a biraci
