so skipping ahead again to gettysburg. we see a current image of the regimental monument there in the meadow along spangler spring and then a second image kind of taken from the right of that monument looking towards mcalister's woods so on july 1st 1863 the 12th corps will finally arrive near gettysburg near the base of culpes hill, but they are arriving too late to take place in the fighting that began north of town that morning. at this point the 27th. indiana is not fully recovered from battles such as antietam and they're down to about 339 men with rankin now serving as a sergeant company a as we move into july 2nd. the 12th. corps is going to move towards culp's hill and begin assuming defensive positions there the 27th, indiana and their brigade are going to be set up in mcalister's woods as you see in that second photograph with the 27th, indiana kind of towards the back facing towards rock creek. and there they're going to kind of dig in and remain for most of the day, but for those of you familiar with the second

when you write out the gettysburg address and send it to me? this is whatever handling consents to him. everett made a scrapbook memorializing that day and on the final pages he pasted in these two pages of the gettysburg address. in the twentieth century, that scrapbook was available for purchase and school kids in illinois during world war ii saved their pennies, their nickels, their money and they were able to purchase that scrapbook containing the gettysburg address, they then donated that scrapbook to the illinois historical library and that collection. i love this piece, the gettysburg address, written by abraham lincoln. how could you get better than that but it has in illinois connection and that is our mission at the presidential library and museum where abraham lincoln in the entirety of illinois history and this document speaks to that. i did to end by showing you a letter from the end of abraham lincoln's life. this was written on march 20th, 1865, and this is abraham lincoln's response to an admirer. a young lady who told her broth

it's also the place of the gettysburg address. people come here, unlikeit's n'l you about 1863 more than you already know. let me start with abraham lincoln. it's his cooper union addresshan five years? abraham lincoln gets up and one of the things he does is he is sitting there. and he starts talking about southhampton county. he asks his audience and new yorkers what induced the southhampton direction 28 years ago, in which as many as three times as many lives were lost. we are going back to 1831, not 1832, the year gettysburg college was founded. it's not lincoln who is president, it is jackson. that guy. economics. i want to set this economically. when we look at the civil war, many more historians know railr. 18:30 -- 1830. here is a map of railroad construction in the united states by decade. 18:30 there is nothing. there are three dots. there are two dots in pennsylvania. shows how advanced pennsylvania is. there are no railroads. we want to remember there is a good deal more isolation. by 1860 thewhat they do have a s comi

everyone knows he's going up to gettysburg. gardner is compiling an album of these photographs. i don't believe for a minute that lincoln didn't see these things. i don't believe for a minute gardner wouldn't have shown them to him or that lincoln would not have expressed interest in them and when i read lincoln's words of the gettysburg address these photographs are what are echoing around in my head. we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground more than those who gave their lives here lincoln is in effect saying, what do you expect me to say? you've seen the bodies. we're now burying the bodies. we're trying to honor them and we're trying to remember. this is what we are fighting for to get past this to me. this is a room in part about paying last respects and there are plenty of people who saw the photographs at matthew brady's who felt as though they were in fact paying last respects to the dead and thanking their lucky stars. they weren't one of them and i think that's a sobering moment for understanding the visceral nature of the war. a lot of civil war photography a

here i am talking at gettysburg. how do i get you guys back to 1831? well, gettysburg as you know. is you know central battle? i mean this place of the most important battle happen in american history. it's also the place of the gettysburg address right. this is a place where history has happened. know so people come here unlike southampton county where history happened too, but people don't come we don't have a wood stock for nat turner. this is great. i love this thing civil war woodstock. this is awesome. we don't have that. well, i guess we do it's like when me and ken greenberg get together for drinks. it's like it's not the same. anyway, how do i get you guys back there? it's not like i'm gonna tell you about 1863 more more than you already know. well, let me let me start. let me start with this abraham lincoln now, it's not his gettysburg address, but it's his cooper union address in 1860 one of the most important speeches he makes and this is when he's a candidate, that's the that picture of him from matthew brady's taking the same day as the cooper's union address. has any

that string ends, as we know, at gettysburg. this will be his last major offensive victory on a battlefield of his career at chancellorsville. he'll win some minor battles but this is the last major battle he will ever win. and this is what's going to put robert e. lee and stonewall jackson on these perfect pedestals. they were the best at what they did. unfortunately for the confederacy, there were some guys out west that were good too and they'll eventually meet. and robert e. lee's army is so ground down by welfare and all the risks that he was forced to take to try to bring home that victory, that the army of northern virginia will be a former shell of itself. and to close, i'll just say, while lee may have claimed that he thought his army was invincible, it took the battle of gettysburg to convince general lee that general jackson was really dead and that the best and the brightest of his army of northern virginia lay in shallow graves across maryland and virginia itself. thank you. ♪♪ >>> c-span is your unfiltered view of

that string and, has we know, at gettysburg. that will be the last major offensive victory on the battlefield of his career at chancellorsville. this is the last major battle he will ever win. this is what is going to put robert e. lee and stonewall jackson up on those pedestals. look at that perfect battle. these guys were the best at what they did. unfortunately for the confederacy, there are guys out west to are really good and they will eventually make their way east and they will eventually meet. and robert e. volleys army is so ground down by the attrition of warfare, by all the risks that he was forced to take to bring home the victory, that the army of northern virginia will be a former shell of itself. while the may have claimed that he thought his army was invincible to convince general lee that general jackson was really dead, and that the best and the brightest -- thank you. some 180,000 african americans both free and formerly enslaved served in the united states colored troops during the civil war. next, stewart he

honor their memory and the values they upheld so we could live in freedom, from bunker hill to gettysburga, to mosul. their sacrifice as an example for all of us to never forget and to always honor. at the first official memorial day ceremony held here in 1868, children who had been orphaned by the civil war moved throughout the cemetery laying flowers on the graves of our soldiers. since that day, 153 years ago, on this date in may we come together as americans to mourn. but more importantly, we come together as americans to remember that we owe the brave men and women who have lost their lives in service to this nation. and remember that behind every: comrade is a family. a family whose sacrifices and body of the soul that is america. reflect on the dreams never realized, the pain of a parent who has lost a child. the pain of a child who has lost a parent. for every day is memorial day for the families of our fallen. today is also a day to celebrate the courage and how they lived and why they fought. to remember that they lived for something bigger than themselves. they fought for the v

he did this most famously in his gettysburg address that speech begins at the nation's beginning four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. he takes his audience back not to the constitution but to the declaration of independence not to the body but to the soul of america. lincoln goes on to explain that the civil war was a test of america's purpose as he put it whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. in the midst of a fight for the very survival of the united states a civil war. lincoln thought the nation would benefit. from looking to its past. americans needed a reminder of why preserving the union was so important. with american shooting not at a foreign enemy, but at each other it's safe to say there was some confusion about the meaning of america. they were no longer united in their understanding of why the nation existed. what were its fundamental aims and purposes? so in the middle of this fratricidal war li

from the left the federal troops outside, monocacy, maryland right up on route 15 headed toward gettysburg. the sunlight is starting to break through the rain clouds. this is the that the union troops outside baltimore get the news that george meade has held the union line the battle of gettysburg has gone to the union and in the very background you will see lee's retreating army headed for harpers ferry as fast as they can get there that notion of relief that notion of a turn in the weather and a turn in the events of the war is supported by the oil sketch that gifford did in the field of that which is dated july 9th 1863 the day that they got the news about the battle. one of the key themes of course for any exhibition on the civil war are the twin issues of abolition and emancipation and we are fortunate that both winslow homer and eastman johnson came of age when they did because between the two of them they make issues around emancipation and abolition issues around human rights and american freedom on a general non-race specific level eastman johnson paints. this picture called negro

even as abraham lincoln stood in the shining sun in the aftermath of gettysburg, to unite the union and proclaim the slaves free in 1863, just a few years ago, i had the privilege, the cheery privilege of being that midnight in the national archives looking at that document and then it took two years for general granger to get to texas but in that two years, we realized that tragedy continues and brutality continues even into the 20th century. today, i salute the miraculous coming together today of the house leadership, the speaker, the leader steny hoyer, with clyburn, chairman jeffries and others that brought this to the floor through a rule, chairman mcgovern and then a debate and of course he we are today, the long journey but here we are. i am grateful as i said earlier that racial divide has fallen out of the sky and we are crushing it to the earth for this day, the juneteenth holiday. this was a bipartisan bill with over 166 sponsors and as well s475. we are delighted note that the president will sign this bill when the words of general granger was said, people of texas and other

service sites like gettysburg and and can you talk about why the can you talk about why the battlefieldked and why that it is important for people to walk through it? >> always -- always trying to find a way we can walk back through history. as an example for the battlefield, the marines where they came through the fields on 6 june 1918 to take a relatively small sector here, but at very heavy cost. i've found when i go back stateside to national parks, is getting in touch with something that's physical. walking in the footsteps of history. that is why that is why i was pleased that in a very early 1920s, american visitors actually found value in preserving that site. if not for those american visitors who came over on these war tourism, essentially, tours, perhaps that battlefield would not be preserved as it is today. that's kind of another sidebar history that had nothing at all to do with the american battle monuments commission at the beginning but it was deeded to maintain as it is today. that wasn't done until the 1930s. so so again, the belleau wood memorial association, thank y

recall him and the others put on that snake handling demonstration in gettysburg late in 2020 tryinghat they do. this is all they know and this is all they have to run on. currying the former president's favor is their only play to be viable in the republican party, and that's a tragedy. if you tell the truth in the republican party, you lose. we've seen it in georgia and across the country. the bottom line is this. no one, including the republicans themselves, believe there was any fraud. they know better than anybody what the results are, and this is strictly about simping for donald trump. so he can you urries favor. >> you're confident that there's not going to be a maric maricopa-style, so-called audit in pennsylvania? >> i am. the members that made that trip were fringy, even among the fringies. and i do not believe it would go any further than, again, the train wreck in the ramada ball room in gettysburg. it's all for show and just to pander to the fringe and the extremes. it's not going to go anywhere. no one is getting reinstalled as president. it's all just part of this rea

recall, mastriano and the others put on that snake-handling demonstration in the ballroom in gettysburglate, in 2020 trying to evoverturn the election results. i mean, this is what they do. this is all they know and this is all they have to run on. and currying the former president's favor is their only play to be electorally viable, nowadays in the republican party. and that's a tragedy. if you tell the truth in the republican party, you lose your elective career in politics. we've seen it with my counterpart in georgia and across the country. the bottom line is this. no one, including the republicans, themselves, believe there was any fraud. they know, better than anybody, what the results are. and this is strictly about simping for donald trump so he curries favor and they endorse him. he endorses them. and they, ultimately, would win in their respective primaries. >> you're confident, that there is not going to be a maricopa-style, you know, so-called audit in pennsylvania? >> i am. yeah. the -- the members that made that trip were fringy, even among the fringies. and i do not belie

i teach history at harrisburg area community college at the gettysburg campus. the great war was the single most destructive war that europe had seen? since the 30 years war during the 16th century. when you put that into context it was it was just a disaster. you can't look at at it any other way. and to mark the end of that disaster and understand why it took place. and to celebrate its ending is absolutely paramount because if we don't remember what took place. you will repeat it. you know, i realize it may sound cliche, but it's the reason we study history. we study history to understand. what took place? where why? so that we don't have to go through it all over again. and if there's one thing that the armistice teaches us just as the outbreak of the war teaches us. be careful, what you ask for. because you might get it. the armistice that was accepted. on the 11th hour of the 11th month of the 11th day the peace that resulted from that. was what led directly to the conflict that we call world war ii? if we take that as a lesson. and we look at what led to

that's why i'm looking forward to the next one. sit in gettysburg, isabel, them from march to october. i need never gets boring because new attractions are added every soon the and we continue to get up close and personal with animals. but the next ones we are about to encounter are a bit less ferocious than those seen at the safari park. british artist, debbie lawson has a passion for bears kangaroos and other wild animals. but she expresses her love for them through sculpture. she creates her life like creatures from carpets, and they often take the viewer by surprise, the artwork that have you, rubbing your eyes and amazing at times how to identify. they sometimes leap out into the room. depending on the perspective, invest studio in london's hackney district, carpets get a new lease of life as wild animal. british artist, debbie lawson began creating lifestyle. his carpet sculptures some 10 years ago. you start with the 2 in the middle, which is like a focal point, pull your eye in, and then i carry on the patterns of the legs in quite a sort of symmetrical way and merge the feet

same day as the union wins the battle of gettysburg. so it's a glorious july 4th in the north and washington, d.c. but grant's troops march in and, you know, every army has soldiers who had various occupations before the war. and there must have been printers and typesetters because they went in and reset the -- one of the stories in the last edition of this vicksburg newspaper on wallpaper, saying grant is in town. and, yeah. there -- so, again, the siege ends july 3rd and 4th. and the union army takes this almost impregnable hilltop city that had held out, really, for longer than they should have. because, both, and the civilians were eating rats, at that point, if they could find them. >> here's a very interesting question. what was the relationship like between jewish and black soldiers? were they kindred spirits? or not? >> well, it depended on where the jewish soldiers came from. there -- there was no uniform jewish viewpoint in the civil war. perhaps, some of us would like to think so, in retrospect. but there were many scholars

at gettysburg, that is what president lincoln said this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom. we push the justice and policing are george floyd justice act and there is another act that my freedom is your freedom and your freedom is my freedom. yes, slambs suffered, continuously. even in the 20th century, they were hung. but we have a time tom debate and vote on the floor of the house. diverse persons can stand and join us. so i want to offer to my colleagues to be reminded this has been a long journey and mountains and valleys and we stand here to vote for the juneteenth independence national day, a federal. freedom is now. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from kentucky. mr. comer: i yield three minutes to the gentleman from kentucky. senator collins: i rise in support of the -- >> and the democrats have brother it to the floor. it is just wrong that this holiday -- the arguments against it are c.b.o. is not real and does not and in anticipation of the holiday and increased productivity and the positive impact of the economy by by tho

we are used to this in the united states, national park service sites like gettysburg.ttle bit more about why the battlefield is marked and it's important for people to walk through it? >> always trying to find a way to see where we could walk in history, essentially. going back in the same footsteps as an example for the belleau wood battlefield. when marines came to the field on six to 1918 to take relatively small sector, here but very heavy cost. getting in touch with something physical, walking in the footsteps of history, that is why i was pleased that in a very early 19 twenties american visitors actually found value in preserving that site. if not for those american visitors who came over on these tourism tours, perhaps that battlefield will not be preserved as it is today. that's another kind of sidebar history that actually had nothing at all today with the american battle monuments commission at the beginning. but it is deemed ultimately to maintain as it is today. that wasn't done until 19 thirties. again, the belleau wood memorial association thank you to t

of ourselves as just maybe we owe something to the people -- or who was actually slaughtered at gettysburgd why were they killed? how will we inherit that gift? we lost almost 700,000 americans trying to fight, some to preserve, but the majority to end slavery. we defeated fascism, nazism, communism, and we lost a lot of americans. they have no clue and they don't want to know. we need a little bit of gratitude for the people who came before us. what's the alternative? okay, if we have to be perfect to be good, what are the other countries doing? why don't more people try to come to the united states? and all the other countries combined. this destination is more popular. if i say to myself america, i want to be a citizen of mexico, i can't do it. i don't look mexican beautiful black person says they want to be chancellor of germany, good luck. and if a latino, black, or a white wants to be a full citizen of whatever that would mean an communist china, you are never going to make it. so we are unique and we have to start appreciating how unique we are. history tells us there's a rule, if y

it was the first republican president abraham lincoln will honor the fallen from the battle of gettysburg noting that the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from this earth. but first, the government work for us and not the other way around. while democrats have lip service to proving themselves incapable of living up to that creed. for them it is more like a country of the elite, by the elite and may be for the experts come i don't know. and it doesn't be run by technocrats, the people are treated as disposable commodities. their only work and sacrifice for the cause is that democrats deem important. >> now, you face another inflection point. as we put this pandemic behind us, rebuild our economy and root out systemic racism and tackle climate change, we are addressing the great crisis of our time. with a greater sense of purpose than ever before. >> laura: malcolm of course no matter what the crisis is real or imagined, the solutions that offer will always create a dynamic where you end up with ls more power so when the wuhan virus hit america, t
