we went to gettysburg. we both agreed we will not talk about the middle east or anything that has happened since 1865. i sat between the two men. [laughter] sadat and all of his generals knew the details. i was amazed about what happened. menachem begin didn't know anything about the battle. we had shelby foote with us, an expert on the civil war. begin was embarrassing to me not having learned about gettysburg but when we arrived, menachem begin recited lincoln's address word for word. a nice event that i will never forget. then we went back to work. not very successfully at first. when negotiating, i was primarily by myself with those two men. one day, we made a mistake. moshe diane outlined to sadat the harsh summary of israel's demands and says we will not make any concessions. i was in a meeting with my secretary of state in my cabin and i was informed sadat had packed his bags and called for his helicopter to remove him from camp david. i was distressed. sadat had promised me he would not leave. i cha

and so begin was a little embarrassing to me, not having learned about gettysburg. but when we arrived at the point where lincoln had made his address, menachem begin recited it word for word. a nice event i will never forget. and then we went back to work. not very successfully at first. assistants were negotiating. i was primarily by myself with those two men and those whom they designated. one day, we made a mistake of letting moshe dayan go and speak to sadat. aza adviceman was a friend of sadat, as you know. moshe dayan didn't know the sadat well but outlined to sadat the harsh summary of israel's demands, and said we will not make any concessions. and i was in a meeting with my secretary of state and defense secretary. in my cabinet. and i was informed that sadat had packed his bags and called for his helicopter to remove him from camp david. i was distressed, because sadat had promised me he would not leave. i changed my clothes. i was wearing blue jeans. i put on more formal clothes, i went over to the window and i looked over the mountainside and sort of sa

gettysburg, they studied it in school.to where lincoln made his gettysburg address, everybody stopped and began to speak in a loud voice and recited completely the gettysburg address. >> wow, what a moment. >> i still get choked up thinking about it. it was a traumatic, unforgettable moment . >> the talks were supposed to last three or four days had reached day 11. it was only carter's perseverance that kept the leaders from packing up and leaving. >> almost never in our history has a president devoted so much time on a single problem, it is in its ordinary effort. >> day 13, sudan threatened to leave more than once and now -- walking on carter's latest proposal, abandoned talks and return to tel aviv. carter would not give up as a parting gift, he gathered photos taken during the peace talks. >> he gets into his golf cart and goes up to see the prime minister and he goes, sorry it didn't work. , it was not fated to be. carter said, i have these pictures that you wanted for your grandchildren. he says, thank you, thank you

know, hear the gettysburg address spoken in 1863. you know all about this kind of the american you know what american founding principles are, right? that a government by the people for the people of the people cannot perish from this earth. that's the gettysburg. he's saying the same thing, that if we're going to continue experiment. right, we have to do it with the eradication of slavery. so i think both of them try to get their in in a way that belies their at least some in a rather sumner's radical kind of reputation. i would say. so yes, he's considered a radical. but i think this 1852 speech, he's trying to get at these moderates and conservatives, you so if you're a moderate from wisconsin and at the time a moderate from michigan at the time you are, you know you might think slavery, you know, is not a great thing. you don't maybe want to see it extended. but in terms of your daily life, does it really you? me. you know who who? i was thinking about it. probably not much. so, yeah, at that moment, sumner was a radical. what's

i think you saw that, gettysburg didn't mistakenly fire in it one of our teams. it is an ongoing investigation. >> related to ukraine. is there any planning underway for another -- if the next administration chooses to continue or do you believe this is the last one? >> i can only speak for this administration. there is only planning for -- i can only speak for the planning involved in this homecoming group, which is january 7th should begin coming administration and secretary choose to have a determination. i cannot speak to that. >> one point -- on december 30th will that i'll get there by the 20th? >> that one package? that one announcement? so, because it is announced does not -- i think we have said this pretty bubbly as well. pdas, as they get announced combat capability and equipment flows off our shelves as it is available. so, it is very likely that they will receive more capabilities flowing to ukraine post the administration. that is very normal. when pdas get announced, we have had them announced in november, december, and that capability continues to

so there's there's all this redemptive sacrificial language in the gettysburg address. and bella celebrates this. he says, this is what gave us then what we could call new testament of our civil religion. but the third time of testing is now the vietnam war. and the civil rights movement. he's more here about the vietnam war, although he'll draw some unfair verbal comparisons between way lyndon johnson spoke about the civil rights to the way he spoke vietnam. i'm going add a little footnote to that, a little correction, john. got to tweak that a bit with you. just a moment. so this is our third time of testing now. a much more challenging question. how does robert bellah want to use the american civil religion. how does he want to use it? i may not be asking that in the clearest way possible. how does he want to deploy it? in what? cause for what purpose. all right. i'm going to put that on pause a second. don't let me forget. don't forget it. you've got time to scrounge there and your documents. i'm going to come to this amazing diagram which answers all life's basic q

i am a member of the history department at gettysburg college. i'm also the >> comcast come along with these television companies, supports c-span 2 as a public service. >> good morning, everyone. and peter carmichael and am a member of the history department at gettysburg college and also the director of the civil institute and it is my pleasure to introduce frances clarke and rebecca jo plant. we begin with frances. i should note frances and rebecca, they are both first time cwi summer presenters. frances comes to us all the way from australia. she is the associate professor of history at the university of sydney. she is the author of a number of books, including one of my favorite books on the common soldier called "war stories and kids." if you're keeping score, i would write that down and remember this title. "war stories, suffering and sacrifice in the civil war north. in all seriousness, a battle of courage, her book, war stories, two of the most influential important books on the common soldier that i have read. or partner in crime is reb

it's gettysburg battlefield. it's interesting for me because and this is slightly sacrilegious because this those points that i've just made resonate with the main theme of the book i'm that i'm going to be i'm going to be talking this book continental reckoning. let me tell you how that is what it is. well. all of us recognize that something important is historians as students, as teachers, scholars of american history, all of us recognize that in the middle of the 19th century, something really important changed in this country. what happened was that if we if we picture american history. as this this narrative is taken of a narrative flow. right. it's all changing. it's always developing, moving a different directions. but in the middle of the 19th century, this flow shifted dramatically. and it was enormous consequences shifted onto a new track. that new narrative tracked those changes that were set in motion in the middle of the 19th century. they would carry this country into what we recognize today as mode

i simply went looking for them when francis and i were invited to speak here at gettysburg. fact that they and many others were so easy to locate really speaks to the ubiquity of boy soldiers in the ranks of both union and confederate armies in the civil war. i want to stress two things, first, we use the term boy soldiers quite purposely. when we began this research, we described our work as focusing on child soldiers, but we quickly discarded this term for two main reasons. one, it invokes contemporary residence and understandings of child soldiers that are really not very helpful for understanding the phenomenon of youth enlistment during the civil war. and second, the vast majority of underaged soldiers, and we are talking more than 80%, were 16 or 17 years old. these are individuals who at the time, in the language of the day would have been described as large boys or youths. while there were certainly thousands of children who served in the civil war, and we do discuss them in our book, they were considered remarkable even at the time. so, there is a reason why johnny

i am a member of the history department at gettysburg college. i'm also the director of the civil war institute. and it is my pleasure to introduce frances clarke and rebecca jo plant. i'll begin with francis, so i should note francis and rebecca. they are both first time cwa i summer presenters. francis comes to us all the way from australia. she is the associate professor of history at the university of sydney. she is the author of a number of books and including one of my favorite books on the common soldier called war stories. and kids, if you are keeping score out there, i would write that down. remember this title? war stories suffering and sacrifice and the civil war north. in all seriousness. that book, a battle of courage, which is the book that you take a little bit of issue with, but in battle, courage and francis book war stories is two of the most influential, important books on the common soldier that i have read. her partner in crime is rebecca jo plant. she is not from australia, but all the way from california, where she is the a

this is the second time i've worked at the institute here at gettysburg. worked with the institute itself for many, many years. i love it dearly. they do great work. and i certainly appreciate all the work that you have done. they asked me to give a book talk on what keisha mentioned, a book that came out a couple years ago, "continental reckoning." i'm of course glad to do that. it's especially interesting for me to talk about this book here. let me tell you why. we are here in the greatness of this primal american historical site that is certainly one of the most important, one of the most iconic places to visit in our country, to study key turning points, certain movements and changes that brought us into the nation that we are today. it's, of course, also the site for what is, in my opinion, the clearest distillation of what all of us in our best moments hope that this nation will be, to ourselves and to the world. so there's no greater place, if you're a student of american history, if you're an appreciator of the american story, there's no better pla

if you ever get a chance to go to gettysburg to eisenhower's from there they still have the golf cart that churchill went around with churchill. what's interesting is that churchill comes in 59 to see eisenhower. but this book, mr. churchill in the white house is also about the lingering influence. churchill over the white house and the american presidents. see if you could just reflect for a moment about how president john f kennedy, elected in 1960, as admired churchill. perhaps unlike his father, and so did lyndon baines johnson after jfk. it's very interesting. certainly john kennedy, whose father was known as a great admirer of winston churchill, was the ambassador to the court. saint james. the somewhat catty remark attributed to randolph churchill never verified was that. he thought daffodils were yellow until he saw the back of joe kennedy. i'll let you all absorb that. but john john f saw a churchill as someone that he he admired for a number of reasons. political? yes. a writer. yes. orator. yes. and shortly after, john was inaugurated, he learned and that churchill was crui

this is how we're still here at gettysburg, writing more books on and learning more things. and in fact. i'm not saying that entirely facetiously. we really are learning new things. and so, you know, a certain degree of humility and a recognition that for 20 years we call this an atrocity, and then we stopped calling it atrocity. and then 45 years later, we began calling it that, that we as historians come to these things with the sensibilities, i used to say to my students, historians or people to write, they sort of absorb the culture around them. and so necessary, surely they reflect that in their writing and the result is the language that's used to characterize these and interpret changes as well. much as we might like to write the definitive book, if we learn anything in graduate school, it's that there's no such thing. i mean, there's a reason that so books are now being written about the indian wars that use the language of coin, like counterinsurgency, because that is what the current generation of historians grew up experiencing, the world in which they lived was a

the battle of gettysburg made it clear that lee's strategy for victory would not succeed that is rampaging the north and forcing the north to sue for peace. that meant the united states would be one country, not two or even several. and it was a united america that came to rescue twice in the half of the 20th century and preserved european democracy without a united america in the history of europe in. the first half of the 20th century, in the half covered in the titans of the 20th century, would been entirely different. but of course, it was only the next century that demonstrated that was not remotely what lincoln in mind. questions from the side. yes. yeah. a great deal of the disruptor that you've discussed pertaining the 20th century. and then even as you look ahead prior to that have had to with, you know, political structures within a country and those which are internationally oriented, what we're looking at right now and we see to some extent a trend of populism and, you know, within certain countries and then some degree of disintegrate we should have international constructs an

and what he did for history in general. >> every once in a while i'll speak just to reread the gettysburg address, especially when i've got a big speech because i'm constantly reminding myself that was only three minutes long. so if i have a tendency to get long-winded, it's useful to take a look at that piece of genius. >> i can just imagine the struggle lincoln had, trying to figure out, how did you make decisions when first of all your country is about to splinter? how do you make decisions in war and how do you make decisions around questions of race, questions of slavery, in the space? he wrestled with so much of that. >> it is here in the most historic room in the house, where one first lady will leave her biggest imprint on the future of the white house. to do this, she reclaims part of its past and connects lincoln to his successors. subsequent presidents continue to use the room as their office until 1902, when the west wing was completed. but it would be decades later until harry truman had the idea for a bedroom dedicated to lincoln. >> when truman redid the house in the late '

and lincoln's final words from the gettysburg address of the people. by the people for people shall not perish from the earth. so at this point, we have we have seen the puzzle. the most eloquent speech our time. but it failed to move forward a domestic agenda because. it did not state a domestic agenda. it empowered millions but at potential cost. not kennedy. kennedy. his goals were simply inspiring and all for the good. but others? not so much. and there is another option of privileging not what we can do for the government, but what people can do together for each other. all right. we've got a few minutes for questions and we're going to use the mic mic and. and i know you have questions. and we a brave student. i get the point of i wanted to ask one wonderful. okay. so for an inaugural address to be effective. does need to be both functional and eloquent or is functional ranked higher? well, the eloquent certainly helps eloquence helps it. when jimmy address was harmed by the reference to miss coleman and it sounded like the quotation sound like y

president carter's personal relationship w a dat and camp david waslly heook the two lders toth gettysburgatfield to show them that fact that war is not the solution. more wars will gust lead to more deets. begin, by the way, he was so moved, he gave the getties burling address with no notes. secondly, he went to an chabot dinner that he arranged as camp david and stayed the whole time to try to bond. these kinds of relationship are very important. when i was doing the holocaust negotiations with germany. i bonded with my german opponent who had a great feeling that hey had to atone for their world war ii sins and that was very helpful. having these perm rhythms which shall when you don't have it, then you'rin trouble. so at camp david ii in 2,000. the secon dav with prosecute clinton,rafaof the p.l.o. and barat. barat and arafat was like oil and water. clinton wasn't able to bond with them the way carter bonded with sadat and that lack of personal chemistry was a real problem. peter: let's go back to 1978. we have some video we want to show with president carter, prime minister begin and
