and grant. straightens things out defeats confederates at the in the november battle of chattanooga wins a big victory and at this point grant's reputation has become huge nationwide and there's virtually a really a consensus among the northern people not unanimity, but heavy majority the northern people are very eager to see grant promoted given command of all the union armies and there's really a feeling that as commander of all the union armies grant ought to at least a company the army of the potomac if not actually outright commanded. in virginia and take on lee and finally beat lee and accomplish what the union's been trying to do futally that that union futility and virginia now for three years that grant should do that that should happen. northern politicians are for it. actually. it's a bipartisan thing. it's not just republicans who want to see that happen. it helps that grants political background is unclear grant by this time really is a republican but his and it seems for more democ

grant, we have already met grant before. you have seen some of the reasons why expectations are high for him. we saw his brilliant success at the battle of fort donaldson. it catapulted him to national recognition, fame, and promotion to major general. then we saw him stand off a very determined confederate counterattack that shiloh, in 1863 he conducted a brilliant campaign in maneuver at the interior of mississippi. in may of 63, which enabled him to receive vicksburg, which then six weeks later surrender to him. not only the town of vicksburg, a confederate bastion of mississippi, but the confederates main army of mississippi which was trapped in vicksburg at the result of grant's campaign. the victory at vicksburg winds up giving the union complete control of the mississippi river. it's a huge success. not a turning point but certainly another nail in the confederacy's coffin. and the fall of 1863, granted broadened to remedy as situation that has arisen from a disaster that happened from william astros crowns. rose kran

and grant did not. at all. to the point where, when he's winning battles, some of the early photographers cut off his half of the picture and put it on a different general who sitting upright and looks better. the first photo shop. but they did have a relationship. and it continued after the war. and he invited lee to the white house, which was quite a moment. and if i was in the press corps -- good thing to cover. >> they only spent 15 minutes together -- >> but they kept in touch. and there was a mutual respect. there's a lot of debate about who was the better general, strategically. and lincoln was convinced it was grant. >> describe your writing process -- to you aim for a certain number of words or pages per day? how do you do that? >> i usually put in two hours. i put myself in a room for two hours. and, then we bounce back and forth. catherine it's just amazing at being able to stitch things together and we ping-pong and it's a great team. sydney is kind of the bigger of the nuggets -- and then we go fro

grant so his name became ulysses s. grant and the s stands for nothing. his name was really hiram and then he changed his name. he kind of stunk in school. he was getting a lot of demerits but he was a really good horsemen and it turned out he was an excellent soldier and he showed that in the mexican-american war. he had some tough times. he went to the northwest territory and he was really lonely and started drinking as some lonely soldiers might do and he was like. he could not hold his liquor that well and he got busted by a commander, drunk and he said either you resign your post or we will court-martial you so he resigned. he went back to illinois and went into this spiral where he was bad at farming in that it the leather building business and he's finally selling firewood out of the back of a cart to make money. three years after that he was the head of union forces as the biggest general america has ever seen in a few years after that he's president of the united states. >> amazing. now graduates from west point and this is really interesting. he

is it chaos, grant shapps? we thought _ government? is it chaos, grant shapps?? we thought we might get a statement from _ shapps? we thought we might get a statement from the _ shapps? we thought we might get a statement from the new _ shapps? we thought we might get a statement from the new home - statement from the new home secretary but we just got a brief shot of him walking across downing street out of number ten. but he has been appointed the home secretary and that has been confirmed by the prime minister's twitter account. he is the home secretary and we were just talking to alexander brown from the scotsman about that. we were reflecting on bringing him in... in fact we are going back to hell and now in the houses of parliament. helen, there was grant shapps, who was a supporter of rishi sunak in the leadership election and you have got some reaction with you now? i got some reaction with you now? i have, i have a government minister, steve baker. he was a supporter of suella braverman during her leadership campaign. i suella braverman during her leade

grant said, okay, it lasted for about 36 hours. grant said no more digging in the trenches. we are going to continue the operations. in that regard, i think petersburg is always understood as a siege. that has deprive petersburg of a lot of the interest that civil war students have, what is more boring than a static siege? it is just depressing, there is no real attacks to understand. who cares, let's move on to the appomattox and we'll be done with it. you said, we are dismissing these. there are nine federal offenses. there was an awful lot of maneuver at petersburg. where there slack times in between?. there are various trench raids. there were various collaborates north and south of the james river. one thing we understand is the petersburg campaign involved all those actions up in -- county. these mysterious battles that no one knows anything, first the bottom, second deep bottom, williamsburg wrote, second derby town road, things that only dick summers has ever understood. >> [laughs] >> it's all part of the petersburg story. there's a lot of action going north -- goin

and that is grant is the tenth to master richmond. with the grant going across the james but that confederate commander's primary responsibility was what? and then to protect richmond and unless you could be sure and then to maintain the position on beauregard's army to provide timely intelligence with any operations on the south side. so all of the pontoons to require the chickahominy river he put general butler in charge of the pontoon bridge across the james river. butler would turn to his engineer to select the crossing point and attempt the construction. and then the root river men's was less than 2000 feet across so 150 men immediately went into the forest cutting down giant type for us trees creating avenues especially on the north bank of the river where it was will be and then build better approaches on the south side as well. and by working around the clock by the night of the june h and 15th and built a pontoon bridge consisting of 101 votes and 2000 feet across and is one confederate said the greatest bridge the world has

grant stripped them. that's one of the reasons why the raid was ian -- setup set off a lot of alarm bells in washington. they realize their defenses had been stripped of regiment south of petersburg. >> i agree, gordon, i agree with you. the one thing that i'm a big blast over. i want to emphasize, whenever you try to dig down a little bit deeper in the story of the civil war campaign, you start encountering conventional wisdom is that may not be all that lies. i think most of you who have read about this have probably read that the first main heavy artillery, one of those units that gordon referenced, went into the attack on june 18th, against -- not realizing that they were going into a meat grinder. they were so naive and inexperience that they would charge, where the old veterans knew better than to do that. the evidence for that is nonexistent. my conclusion is that the first main guys knew darn well that they were going into a very tough assignment. they did it anyway. ian so by petersburg, some of

ulysses grant deetz my mother was julia grant married. john deetz new yorker. her father was ulysses s grant, the third who went to west point. his father was frederick dent grant, who went to west point. his father was ulysses s grant. so it's a direct line of descent. i was the last 41 great, great, great grandchildren born to ulysses and, julia grant. and i was the last one. and i got the name. i'm the only ulysses in my generation. and that was instrumental in shaping life, although i wasn't paying attention to it because being a descendant of u.s. meant nothing to me much until i decided to use my first name. i grew up as grant deetz and in syracuse, new york, where my family had a factory with the name dates on it and huge letters. that's who i was. i was a deetz boy, but my mother was julia grant and her friends knew that, and she told me that grandfather, u.s. grant's third, never talked to me about it, ever, because i was the youngest grandchild and he didn't know what to say to me. he was an old man. it was all past history. and in the fifties and six

top table work grant sitting in this picture is i believe right there in chicago, and i believe grant table that chappell has lee sitting at is at the smithsonian maybe? >> that is were i believe it is. this leaves colonels table which i think captain bauer set out for a while because i think bowers said think there's a story where he was supposed to write out and said my hand is shaking i can't do it. >> you are right. yes, yes, yes. i've seen bowers and artwork sitting at that table. that man with the strongest writing hand on grant's staff sat down at that table. you can see it in the background you see the legs you see there are two ledges. who would probably be easier for us to just go ahead and take a look at the table itself which does exist. it is the only table from the parler that day that is not in a public it is in private hands. at a time not too long ago a few years ago it was consigned for sale perhaps it was out on the market. we had the opportunity, the honor of representing that owner and so that table got to live in the abraham lincoln bookshop for some time. and so

they knew the reputation of grant's unconditional surrender grant. and they were fearful of what would happen to them as captured confederate prisoners of war, if they were held as prisoners as war. so some refused to surrender. others are sore and tired. they're physically unable to keep up with the relentless pace of louise army as it pushed west, trying to move south and hookup with joe johnson in carolina. they dropped out of the ranks. others are very determined not to desert, not just to avoid the humiliation. but to continue to fight. and that was more so for those men who had horses. a simple logic behind us. so artillery and's and cavalryman, they were the most likely to escape appomattox and they are able to ride off from different points of departure. and there's a no plan for what they can do next. they rendezvous, perhaps in a small town in the small towns of north carolina or maybe they can go to the heels of the shenandoah valley. and reorganize. many, into june, believe they can reorganize. -- >> and the memoirs of porter alexander, t

twain created the book that made grant all that money. he did not write one word of that memoir no matter what you've heard, it's the manuscript exists. it's all in u.s.. grant's hand. it's all handwritten in pencil, and it's in the library of congress. so. but twain really went to grant. they're ripping you off these jerk. but my son in law is to have a publishing house, and i'll give you the best deal ever, which ultimately probably bankrupted his son in law. but that's not even the but so but you know it it's funny because if you read the gilded age, the original book by mark twain from, 1873, not first real novel, but not any. it's a collaboration, but not his best book. one of his most interesting books. he sort of makes fun of u.s. grant as the head of this corrupt government in the 1870s. but he changes his tune and becomes really close friend toward the end of grant's life. so i'm really sorry that we're going to have to cut this off now. obviously we have gone on longer, but it's that's where we are so i want to thank everybody f

what are the conditions for granting the grant and who has already received it ? tsn correspondent iryna kovalenko found out all the details. farmer anatoly sobolev, this is a chandler variety, but he is picky. look at how big the berries are here and other blueberry varieties. anatoliy says that this is a test plot in the spring. he should have planted the main two-hectare plot in the spring. last year in december, he prepared peat and sawdust chips. work on ridge formation and then the war came, everything that farmer anatoliy had prepared for growing blueberries was burned as a result of hostilities in the kyiv region, and everything had to be bought anew and at twice the price. look at the auction before the war, it cost about uah 700,750 per cube. right now it costs about 1,200,000-1,500 , so the opportunity to receive a grant for the development of his farm was very appropriate, he says that the farmer shared the application, in fact, he really counted on it because the farm is small, well, as they say, it is unknown, but he prepared a working project and it

if the entrepreneur has already received a grant for his project, then he will be able to suspend the fulfillment of obligations without any fines or investigations or return the entire amount of the grant to the recipient of the grant if he is called. participation in a special military operation may count on easing the requirements that apply to the implementation of his grant after the completion of partial mobilization activities, grant recipients will be able to conclude an additional agreement and adjust the timing and results of their project. for example, extending the project implementation period is another important issue regarding pension provision, this issue is equally of concern to both employees and individual entrepreneurs themselves, that form pension rights. previously, it was already decided that the period of service in the armed forces. it is protected both in retirement and in seniority. now there are questions regarding the accounting for the length of service of those categories of citizens who are now forming their pension rights on preferential terms. in par

for these grants.repeated our old song here's a cherubic song and we found a bunch of new ones. how cheese music is sung, how we understand church texts, and this enriches us with concert performances - this is its own specificity, when you just perform for your parents, even for a large number of listeners in a large hall, but still, a concert implies such great freedom, and a competition. probably this is such an ability to endure in a short period of time not two branches, not branches. and here's a little time, uh, but bring out the concentrate of everything you can. this music school, which is located in the center of moscow on taganka, is known to the whole world thanks to the concert choir named after radchenko, education at the school is free, but only those who want to join us will have a serious creative selection during admission tests. well, as a rule, purposefully already singing and or loving fagots come to us, therefore, and we have them, of course, and remain recently thanks to a specia

grant invites lee to the white house in 1869 when grant becomes president.the interview only lasts about 15 minutes and it's very polite. i don't want to say frosty. grant was hoping he could enlist lee in support of some of his initiatives in reconstruction that. lee showed no enthusiasm for that. so they part and they never meet again and there's a coldness there. i don't think it can really be described in any other way. in fact people will press lee in 1870 for his opinion as to who the greatest union general was that he faced during the war. lee's response is not ulysses grant. lee's response is george mcclelland and if that doesn't surprise you that nothing about the civil war will surprise you. by the way i should say grant returned the favor years later when he was doing his world tour the new york journalist john russell young accompanied him with a similar question to grant who did he think was the greatest of the confederate generals and grants response was to joseph e. johnson which is actually even. he almost had the sense that grant was doing i

general grant, and mrs. grant went to ford's theater. that was their plan. so like i said, it was used in the exhibit and in the trial. next, we have the emancipation proclamation. it's actually five pages. the national archives displays it a few times a year because it is so faded with the light damage what's happened on it previously. certain times of year, right now it's about to go on display for a weekend that is coming up. for the three day weekend around juneteenth. so the thing that makes it hard to display is that two of the pages are double sided. you can never display on exhibit the five original pages. it is always two or three originals, and then it will show what's a facsimile, and they alternate which one is on display with the original side or the facsimile. but it will always say whether it's a facsimile or not depending on the side you are looking at. next is the 13th amendment. there's two things that are unusual about this document and this is probably this big. it's larger than legal size. congress passes the resolution and then three qu

they are working in several directions, these are micro-grants, these are grants, not processing, grants in agriculture , we saw very high demand now, the question is to add more international partners to finance this grant program because our people are really heroes during the war they are looking for an opportunity they show us these business plans to create their small enterprises in the regions that are located there 50-100 km from the front and they want to develop their business today and are ready not just to take grants if we are talking about micro-grants where there is no co-financing condition, but there is a condition of creating at least one or two more jobs, and where we are talking about processing enterprises, people are ready to invest and they invest even more than the percentage of 20% that we offered as their basic conditions , that is, people today are ready to invest their money in the economy of ukraine, as you say, during military operations. and in general, if you look at the country today, you can say part of the country is fighting, the other part is working,

grant has gone up some. people are looking at more of his enlightened view on race and state woodrow wilson. wilson's problem was not just of the nation he tried disenfranchised or get lower pay to african americans. in the wrong direction is definitely race matters he gets a perfect score in different issues and civil rights and race. you're looking at something like obama who served two terms was largely a scandal free operation neptune kill osama bin laden is the first non- white mail president you've had. he is of great significance. a lot of people wonder if he should be at number ten i stress the two terms we had good one term presidents. only a one term he oversaw the gulf war that was successful. the liberation of kuwait. german reunification, the breakup of the soviet union, the foreign policy of bush 41 is phenomenal. he goes it downward he got attacked by pat buchanan from the right and then ross perot and a third party. bush did not become a two termer. he doesn't rise as much. when you are getti

that he gives to grant. i supposedly that's sent with grant's papers to the war department, but somehow never makes it to the national archives. so i don't know, maybe you don't have specific information, maybe on that specific document. but how were? documents transferred from the war department to the national archives. was it common for records to be lost if you just speak on that for a little bit? that's a great question. so there was no national archives until the mid 1930s and so what the archives has is what was maintained by the various federal agencies that then turned over that to the national archives. so in some, like dr. downes this morning, spoke about freedmen's bureau records, great example. there's some field offices where we have a number of documents and documentation related to that field office and others. there are none. and we don't know why. you know, i mean, so for whatever reason, either they weren't sent to the war department or something happened at the war department before, rece

who is going to get these grant? well this $2800000000.00 in grants will be dispersed to 20 companies that includes albemarle piedmont, entech, but perhaps what's most interesting is where they will be dispersed and that's across 12 states, largely republican, held to alabama, kentucky, louisiana. and these are states that voted for donald trump in 2020 their politicians voted against the inflation reduction act that biden's largely climate focus legislation passed earlier this year. that gave a ton of money to the e v market. now they're certainly welcome in the welcoming these grants, accepting the jobs that they likely will create. this irony was certainly not lost by biden and his speech about the grants. okay, so this is a really significant investment, but how much would you say this will help the united states to really establish itself in the electric vehicles market? i would say it's, it's one significant step forward. now biden has been pretty explicit that this is a challenge to china and chinese companies
