monument dedications here we are back in gettysburg, the 1880's 1890's gettysburg was a union memorial park. hundreds of union monuments going up on this field. such important field especially for the army of the potomac. other battlefields were conserved. they worked tirelessly in other words to ensure that their memory of the war the union memory of the war would never be by thatn nor eclipsed of confederate veterans. too many lives have been lost in to do otherwise. confederates were no less determined to preserve their memory of the war. they needed to explain what they had fought for as well is why they had lost to their children and grandchildren. the lost cause was made up of at least four tenants. that is a term coined by them not academics. confederate search soldiers had fought honorably and bravely. they had not been defeated but overwhelmed by insurmountable odds by superior northern materials and manpower. increasinglyates denied that slavery had been a cause of the war the most asserted catalysts are not a have been sanctioned by the constitution and providence. above all

been to all the major one 50th anniversaries in the east, starting with bull run, gettysburg, second chancellorsville. ,hey have been kind of special knowing it was 150 years ago that it happened. this is my hobby, and i love history. this is one way of showing a little respect to our ancestors who went to war. not close to what they did, but at least kind of give a little all impression of them. >> march. >> can you tell me your name. >> my name is michael from new york city. a projectg on traveling since 2011, photographing the world battlefields and attending reenactment as a 19th-century photographer, photographing reenactments as if a photographer was in battle with the soldiers and trying to bring more imagination. >> why is this? camera has no lens. creates these blurry, soft images.e if you look at the pictures, you cannot tell what century you are in. that is one of the things i wanted to play with. it is still alive and well. you can see the battlefields and 19th century landscapes and they have been protected for years now. many of the reenactors are descendents of the men

he says oh, there has been , i think that was gettysburg. so, he followed from the peak at their height, through the defeat of the confederacy. there is a parallel that is remarkable. as you watch not only the confederacy fall, a rise and fall, but you can see the family, also, get to the point where in the diary, i don't know if we're going to have a home in a year. they have this beautiful home. said, you can see it still today, it is gorgeous. know if, we don't even we're going to have all of this next year. the foures worry about classes, very aware of the distinction between the life he lives, and the fact that there are other poor people out there that don't have what he has. he is aware of this. biographies ofes the major individuals, and this part took a lot of time, about 1700 people on ancestry.com, the family tree. because he knew which aunt was visiting and i didn't. there were over 50 women named elizabeth or eliza in the book. fortunately, we knew that the sam name sally was for sarah. i have a colleague at school given name is

again, the editor coming in and saying, gettysburg was no big deal. a few days later as the news comes in, they realize how massive it was. and he starts to question the news. we haven't heard anything from general lee. why is that? why aren't they telling us what is happening? does he want to get everything straight before letting it out, or does he not want to let us know? that is the question. so, it is unique in how the civilians process slow and incorrect news. you get to see the frustration. says, everybody i know at antietam or sharpsburg has either been killed or wounded in that fight. everybody that he knew. he does a marvelous job of keeping track of sherman and the georgia campaign, to the point that when macon is threatened, stoneman comes through with a cavalry raid, there is a second engagement as well. his father was involved, 52 years old in the home guard and , he had to go. his brother is gone. leroy is making decisions. he went up on the roof to watch, because he wanted to see. not only just hear it, he wanted to see it through his

i live 30 miles north of gettysburg, the final battle on july 3 at gettysburg when the competitors the through everything in, charged the union, almost drove them from their line and were eventually pushed back. a good ways, that is analogy with what is happening, the last much -- push of the chris -- of the christian right. of the people that evangelicals, i don't think hate, that is too strong a word, is hillary clinton. she brings the baggage from her husband's presidency. she has all the wrong social positions for those who follow this political playbook. i think -- i have heard other people say this. if there is any democratic candidate that could have lost to donald trump among evangelicals or generally, it would have been hillary clinton. the binary choice that many evangelicals saw led them to see hillary clinton as kind of -- there is no way we can have hillary. people tell me this all the time, who was i supposed to vote for? in some ways, i think whatever you think of hillary, she was a problematic candidate. she had the email problems, the email server problems and so forth

if you were living here in gettysburg, you might have your pocket full of bills from the adams county trust, if there is such a bank, and perhaps, there is -- in the east, those banks used to keep gold on hand to aboutheir bills, usually 10% of whatever you had issued. out in the west, a lot of thanks are into eudora secured their issues on southern secured guaranteed or the money they issued on southern bonds and suddenly, those bonds did not look very good. they were worthless. as a result, nobody had an money to buy anything and if you have something to tell, you couldn't it.rid of and believe me, people had plenty to sell after the harvest of 1860. then, there was the simple issue of uncertainty. even today, we hear that uncertainty is the worst thing that can happen to business. and it happened, then. nobodystopped investing, wanted to put any money out, even if they had good money. it seems to be quite a recession, that as long as i have been interested in the civil war -- and i can tell you a story that i have been, recognizably interested since i was five years old -- i have n

and today is the anniversary of gettysburg, right?ions, the greatest battle loss of any battle in the history of the country. lincoln's words at the gettysburg address where he said we are now engaged in a great civil war, testing the idea, the proposition that a country so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. i think if we say there's no way, the country is too divided, this is the way it's going to be, i think there should be an expectation of the president that he nominate somebody that is able to get democratic votes. i think we should keep that expectation. >> you can wax philosophical all you want. i want to say on this 1500-mile drive, that divide was so stark, people so dug in, it was really eye-opening. >> it's the greatest danger to our republic. that is the greatest danger -- >> wasn't merrick garland the example? >> yes, and look what happened. >> thank god we have no huge moral issue like slavery. there can be nothing like slavery. >> we have many moral issues. immigration is a moral issue. >> i agree with you comp

the fundamentals of the american constitution, the gettysburg address, it talks about eve ryo ne gettysburgomen. there is a fundamental problem with the political outlook of donald trump which makes it difficult for there to be a meeting of minds. can you shed light on why nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland, is not meeting donald trump? not really. there is not much in the public domain about whether there was any attempt to fix up a meeting. personally i do not think it would have made sense, given that the vast majority of people in scotla nd the vast majority of people in scotland are against the visit. donald trump is not welcome here. it would not make sense for the scottish first minister to meet with him. richard leonard, scottish labour leader, thank you for speaking to us this morning. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. it looks set to continue. look at that gorgeous picture. this is stunning. good morning. sometimes we get more on that. no, i hear you see. we talk about how cool it is on the north sea coast if the breezes coming from the sea. for tho

that is inherent took time to work its way through american consciousness and that lincoln and gettysburg he rewrites the understanding of the country to be living up to those ideas and martin luther king essentially later says the founders worked as a country on a promissory note that all men including white and black men are created equal and deserve to be treated equally. .. >> and they say as simulation is evil and the essence of enemy politics with a diverse population of people and that is to me that i found fascinating find all the things with more continuity today and this identity politics that people say you have to be taught to hate but no. you have to be taught not to hate we have an inner distrust of standard industrial and babies almost instantly like people of their own race like there. there has been amazing work just with babies of basic moral that they are wired for friend versus foe so identity politics really is a variance to form aristocracy because what the founders did that is taught anymore they got titles of nobility they got rid of the notion of the blood aristoc

each other on twitter, but even during america's most difficult time, abraham lincoln built the gettysburgthe values in the declaration of independence. the founders knew we would sometimes treat each other like dogs, but because we're an example of the world, that we would all strive to do better. refreshing that faith is why wednesday should be more than just another day off. >> and that does it for overnight news this tuesday. for some of you, the cbs news continues. for others, i hope you check back a bit later this morning for the morning news, and of course cbs this morning. from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm michelle miller. >>> it's tuesday, july 3rd, 2018. this is the cbs morning news. 12 boys and their soccer coach are found alive in a flooded cave in thailand. now the question is how to get the group out safely. >>> who will replace justice kennedy? perspective supreme court justice nominees are meeting with the president. >>> a florida deputy comes to

[laughter] >> there were many times. [laughter] there were a time in 2011 things were not going great and we were getting criticized in the press so therefore it was my fault. so every day for about three weeks barack obama would call me down and point out several articles he would agree with i can imagine what his twitter account would be like. [laughter] there are many things when the time came. that i agreed to do this town hall. yes. you did. when did i do that? in front of ten people. [laughter] he is a great boss but sometimes he did have short-term memory about the things he agreed to and did not want to do after one year i sent a memo. >> and we try to get them to sign off just put your signature right there. why would they do that? i don't know. my least favorite memory was exactly the same. with a 24 hour or 48 hour day during the campaign w

the immortal story of the american warrior is written in the fields of gettysburg, the sands of iwo jimal of valley forge. it's the story of courage, honor, duty, loyalty, and love. today we are honored to recognize a few of the incredible men and women who serve our country and defend our great american flag. from the army, we have jason pack. jason is a west point graduate injured in afghanistan while proudly serving with the second infantry division. also with us is jason's dad who is also a west point graduate. and his mom. what an inspiring family. i met them right behind the stage, and i want to tell you their story is an incredible one. thank you all for your service and thank you for your incredible work for our military and our country. thank you, jason. representing the navy, we have petty officer first class. also known as the bomb squad, he's a good technician and has just done incredible work. recently earning distinct as sailor of the quarter for unit. joining him are his wife and daughters and his parents. thank you, steve, and everyone serving america in our incredible na

macarthur realized that and the rainbow had to bite -- fight -- it was like there gettysburg. in their division got slaughtered. and this is where macarthur sees that bold action. because the group that was in there before, the 26th division, they had not let them build that defensive structure. when the rainbow division push them off, macarthur knows that and he was just made the commander of the 83rd brigade. and he said we cannot let this group set themselves up because the division behind them is just going to get slaughtered. you have to press them and he walks the entire line of the rainbow division on august second -- this is the way macarthur starts to see the war. and the americans just walked over the german defenses. they have a good view of the germans retreating and they pulled out before we went in. and they're going back toward metz. this is where we drive right to metz and has the railway center that supplies all those troops on the western run. if we take that, the war will be over now. now general pershing you that as well. world war i was bought with these r

the road decides to go out to walden on july 4th, lee retreats from gettysburg on july 4th. there's lots of things that happen later on almost prove n providencely on july 4th. >> but the initial founding, the break from independence and the 13 states institute a very separate founding from the one that occurred a decade later in 1787. and for many generations, historians would argue which was more important and was the founding of 1787 a repudiation of the more democratic revolution of 1776? and that is still a viable topic. is the constitution, in some sense, a reaction against the excesses, the democracy that was expressed in these state constitutions is in 1776? in fact, no one in 1776 anticipated in their wildest imaginations the kind of federal government that was created ten years later. a powerful government, as we know. because it's the same government that we have today. and what happened in that decade between 1776 and 17 177 is a matter of great controversy. >> it is. of course, i have the authoritative book on this. >> which is for sale in the lobby after the pr

it was like gettysburg. and their division got started. half of it was pretty much reduced. and this is where macarthur sees that bold action. because the group that had been there before and a 26 division, the germans pulled back, they had not pressed them. they hadn't kept on to not let defensive that structure on the river. when the division pushed them, macarthur has just been made brigade commander of the 83rd brigade. he is like, we cannot let this group go set themselves up by the river because the division behind it is just going to get slaughtered. you have got to press them. you have got to push them fred -- you have got to push them. he walks the entire line of rainbow division on august 2. you've got to press it. you've got to push it one more time. this is the way macarthur starts to see the war. americans walked over the german defenses. macarthur has a good view of the germans retreating. they pulled out my before they went in and they were pulling back toward -- his people are moving. this is the opportunity. they have a railway center to supply all of those

biggest advocate on the battle of gettysburg, for example, and defending league -- lee's actions. -- he was always very pugnacious and combative. >> think you make a great point if you'reson and acquitted, what does that say about the entire war, and i think that was the point you were driving toward, but what about the amnesty application or amnestyission of that application? was there sort of an of being aent traitor? : great point. i think that has been in the news a little bit. the attorney general felt that accepting the pardon, it is an admission of guilt. i have been reading now that some legal scholars feel that is still up for interpretation, but that was the attorney general at that time who believed that to be true. ,bviously, the law is in flux and that is a great point. one thing i will also say -- i devote a lot of time into pardons. not only were there so many pardon applications, but there were so many confederates sending applications in that johnson was spending all of his time doing this, and one of his colleagues said, "the presidency this." created for i have to

was a most at a point except for john wilkes booth of hugging and let's move forward, once the gettysburg address was proclaimed and you had general lee give general grant his sword. in my view, from what the president who followed lincoln did, i think they should have been impeached. he should have been tried for treason. what occurred in terms of thinking all of the northern troops, the union troops out of the south, and allowing the rampage against the former slaves to take place in the horrors that took place for many, many years thereafter, i think there is a betrayal of statements lofty that are contained in the forming of this union. and a further betrayal happens to be what has occurred in every war where african-americans were told, you will be free. you will have equal rights, etc., and we have riots, murderers, etc. taking place thereafter. you think that maybe the next step that is important would be wrongte -- right the where a lot of folks who were in the confederacy just think, we just gave grant is sword, that was it, he wasn't president of the confederacy, etc., or what w

i think i call it in the book i love about half an hour, 45 minutes north of gettysburg and i think if this i of this as kia pickett's charge. you have the politica to politis that are dying out and sometimes it is a very effective last. i am wondering if that is what we may see among the next generation. thank you. >> i was wondering i know going forward myself and a lot of friends around my age anticipated the vice president having a role in the administration more than so far. where does the vice president fit into all of this? >> from a purely political view, his pick was a masterful political movement. his bedrock faith in the kind of conservative evangelicals when he says i am first a christian, second a conservative family member, conservative, is that how it goes? the fact that they can parachute him into this convention to give a talk just clears the way for him. the fact that one of his big supporters sent a letter to be read at the freedom sunday service at the baptist church in dallas, he could speak the language in a way that he can't and he softens trump and i just think

well, move over gettysburg address. [ laughter ]

he was lee's biggest advocate on the battle of gettysburg, for example, and defending lee's actions. >> i think you make a great point about treason -- about being indicted for treason and what happens if you are acquitted, what does that say about the entire war, and i think that was the point you were driving toward, but what about the amnesty application or the submission of that amnesty application? was there sort of an embellishment in that application -- acknowledgment in that application of being a traitor? mr. reeves: great point. i think that has been in the news a little bit. i kind of research this a little bit -- researched this a little bit. the attorney general felt that by accepting the pardon, it is an admission of guilt. i have been reading now that some legal scholars feel that is still up for interpretation, but that was the attorney general at that time who believed that to be true. obviously, the law is in flux, and that is a great point. one thing i will also say, i devote a lot of time into pardons. it was a big thing. not only were there so many pardon applica

, does the national park service allow putting the confederate battle flag on monuments like at gettysburg any longer? >> i do not know. there is a question about whether the national park service allows flags. we have park service people here. >> can you stand up and into the -- can you stand up and answer that for us? >> they would be removed just like any other flags. what we cannot do is sell it in our museums. >> if an individual puts a flag at the base of a monument, that is more than welcome and allowed, however the national park service never sells confederate flags or anything with a confederate flag on it in the visitor center. >> what about a national cemetery like in all myra new york, we always went out -- in l york, we always went out and put confederate flags on confederate soldiers but we were told we could no longer do that. >> regarding national cemeteries, i am not sure. you are telling me something i didn't know about individuals putting flags on tombstones. these are particularly in answeries, kerry can with her work on the memorial association and the cemeteries tende

he was crushed to learn that he would not take the 301st into combat, but he would report to gettysburg, pennsylvania. where he would now take charge of the newly established tank corps training center. his ambition to lead real fighting men, as he said, had been denied. he expressed this frustration writing, i seem embedded in the unsought safety of the zone of the interior. other members of the class were already deployed. it looked to me as if anyone who was denied the opportunity to fight might as well get out of the army after the war. as a footnote, the combat record of the 301st is interesting and reflects what happened to most american units in combat on the western front. the 301st battalion fought in three separate offenses between september and november 1918. it began with 40 tanks, and emerge from its last battle with 12 tanks and suffered 50% casualties. promoted to major, eisenhower was the only regular army officer at camp cole. and had the total responsibility for training, organizing, equipping, and preparing for the onward movement of tank troops to the european. camp

lincoln at gettysburg, he invokes, rewrites the understanding of our country living up to the ideals. martin luther king essentially later saying the founders wrote this country a promissory note, all men, white men, black men, are created equal, deserve to be treated with inalienable rights, blah blah. what he was doing there to that appealing to the ideal of best self of white america. all civilization, all rhetoric is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves. the best version of ourselves. he was appealing to the best version of ourselves and that was incredibly compelling. today, that whole vision is sort of in tatters because there is, identity politics part of this, people are basically saying, you can never get past your whiteness. all white people are racist, white privilege, white supremacy, demonizing white people, while celebrating other differences. a simulation is evil. melting pot is evil. saying that the essence of identity politics that i can reduce a vast, diverse population of people to a single historical grievance based on their skin color. that is one of the th

at gettysburg they lose 597 wilderness, 565 811 men engaged. so what you should ask yourself, what i was asking myself as i writing this book, how do they keep a brigade intact when think about desertion rates by time we're late in the war. home in the brigade as fast as i could. that is how they sustained themselves. the question about desertion i want to touch on, and hoods texas brigade, the army of northern virginia was about one third of the army delisted -- listed as deserted. only 6% of men were listed as deserters. of the 6%, 34% abandoned. for those of you who studied. attached.n they were they were in east tennessee and a harley undersupplied -- and horribly undersupplied. facinggade commander was charges of demoralizing the marshall. anded to eight spike desertion. 6%, was incredibly low. it speaks to the cohesiveness and devotion of the men. all right, i promised you we would talk about the question of the home front. men came from families that either financially could support them or could just soldier on, if you will while the me

turned out today made yesterday feel like a visit to historic gettysburg, it really was -- the news todayi know a lot of you are on vacation, but the news today is that our president is a liar, and not even a good one. president trump today in an attempt to explain what the hell thinking was going through his cotton candy-covered head when he stood next to vladimir putin of all people and took sides with russia over our own american intelligence agencies, now says it was just a tiny little slip-up, even smaller than his fists. >> a key sentence in hi remarks i said "would" instead of "wouldn't." the sentence should have been, i don't see any reason why i wouldn't, or why it wouldn't be. so just to repeat it, i said the word "would" instead of "wouldn't." the sentence should have been, and i thought i would be maybe a little bit unclear on the transcript or unclear on the actual video, the sentence should have been, "i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia." >> jimmy: oh. [ audience moaning ] >> jimmy: i have to say, when you said i don't see any reason why it would be russia, for

and the gettysburg address. the contents of abraham lincoln's pockets and four locks of thomas jefferson's hair. [laughter] i'm just saying. so it is kind of fun to have this historical back and forth. >> and come from the vatican. [laughter] >> there are a few things over there. so don't even bring up hamilton. [laughter] okay let's bring up him alton. [laughter] we might as well how did you pull that off? >> through the new york public library actually. tommy was the director of hamilton was a member for the visiting committee and we decided to honor them. we had all three of them in the house. >> me will not name drop. >> but hamilton was signed at valley forge by george washington and to digitize the last note to his wife eliza. [laughter] [applause] >> but the government outlined her father asking for the federal government to make and we are finish digitizing correspondence for the rest of her life but then she burnished his reputation. >> and with the digitization. to name a historical figure. >> so what

during the decade of the 1890's, 300 monuments were placed on the gettysburg battlefield. i disagree strongly with those who say the south put up the monuments in open defiance. five of what? -- defiance of what? getting rid of the monuments is taking away our past. we are courting death as a nation if we allow that. >> one more question. 3000 years of recorded history, any nation that forgets its past has the future. thatry is unspeakable and point. >> what can we do to get more ballots at the university level where there is no diversity of thought. where it is a liberal agenda and so many of the schools public , thed institutions students are only hearing one side of the story? >> that's called higher education. it's called tenure of fact -- faculty. one of the things that has to be administrators have got to show backbone. stop all of this. the first amendment guarantees all kinds of freedom but it -- n't guarantee our first amendment -- amendment has been stretched to the breaking point. administrators have to get the focus back on education. i don't know how the presi

well, move over gettysburg address. [ laughter ] after the president of iran issued a warning to presidentmp, trump posted an all caps tweet saying, quote, never ever threaten the united states again, or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. we are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. [ laughter ] be cautious. [ laughter ] all i can say is thank god we didn't elect a woman president. they're just too emotional. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] vice president mike pence today hosted a fundraiser for a republican representative in philadelphia, but he left as soon as he found out it's the city of brotherly love. [ laughter ] that's two sins. former trump campaign advisor carter page yesterday called accusations that he was a russian agent a ridiculous smear campaign. coincidentally a ridiculous smear is what trump asks his make up artists for. [ laughter and applause ] can you make it -- can you make it more ridiculous? former white house press secretary sean spicer's book will be re

he took them to the gettysburg battlefield to demonstrate the cost of continued war. he barred the press so there would be no leaks during negotiation. and, after 13 agonizing days and nights, over 20 drafts that he wrote and negotiated separately with each because they were like two scorpions, we came close to an agreement on the 13th day but didn't reach it. he had his bag packed in the car ordered to fly back to israel. carter came up with a personal touch that changed history. he learned that he had eight grandchildren and got each of their names or personal inscriptions to each of them of pictures of himself at camp david and personally walk them over to the cabin. as he began to look through them carter says he described to me his lips quiver, his eyes tear and he said mr. president, putting my bags down i will give it one last try. and the rest is history. that is a treaty that has lasted for almost 40 years with no violations. it is central to israel's security in our national interest. was the first person to put human rights at the center of foreign-policy.

it was like their gettysburg and their division got slaughtered. half of it is pretty much reduced. and this is where macarthur sees that bold action, because the group that had been in their before, in the 26th division, when the germans pulled back, they hadn't pressed him, they hadn't kept on to not let them build that defensive structure on the wark river. when the rainbow division pushes them off those heights, macarthur knows that. he's just been made brigade commander of the 38th brigade. he says we can't let this happen on the neely river because the command behind us just got slaughtered. he walks the entire line on the rainbow division after august 2nd saying, we got to push them one more time, we have to get on them. this is how macarthur starts to see the war. the campaign right after where the americans just walked over the german defensives. macarthur has a good view of the germans retreating because they pulled out right before we went in and they're pulling out toward metz. macarthur is moving. this is the opportunity where we drive all the way to metz that has all t
