hamilton's thinks a middle class republican is commercial.es, i that hamilton would have would have recognize this that the near run future of the united states was going to be predominantly agricultural. this is, i think, of the reasons why he is at pains in his report on which is the last of his. three great economic reports to sort of to the to to congress, which is, you know, dominate it by members from farming districts, the benefits to farmers, from industrial protection. but i think that his long term view is and he talks about this in federalist ten is sort of a kind of american commercial empire that the natural resources of resources of america, when developed over time could, you know, come to rival of the european powers. the flip side, though, and what's interesting as well is that the republic ends, as their political coalition evolves, you know, one of the aspects of republican ism jeffersonian republicanism, i mean, is there is there is their belief that they're not party, which is very strange because they form the first part

now for hamilton something included in that what's called the whiskey act was designed and hamilton'snation to bring the american economy together. to include all westerners in the larger fabric of american society. he believes taxation is what will bind all americans in north, south, east, west together. we reviewed that is something mutually t despised. money from everywhere to increase the sovereignty of the federal government nothing but west of today. not talk about montana, utah california. that will be centered in what was at the time the west. that includes pittsburgh here in allegheny county. cap federal courts federal office buildings and federal agencies from people who do not agree with that. 20 miles south of pittsburgh washington county, pennsylvania. this is the heartbeat of the events we will call the whiskey rebellion. alexander hamilton whiskey taxes past they are immediately put off by it and there's a couple reasons for it. they would argue the whiskey act was unnecessarily prejudicial. things were built into this action there unnecessarily harmful to them and at w

alexander hamilton. alexander hamilton. in favor of a bigger, stronger central government. he thought bigger was better in government. so if alexander hamilton were revive and drop down in the united states today, would he have been in favor of the inflation reduction act? would he have been in favor of obamacare? would he have been in favor of taking back 100 years, almost social security? would he have thought the government needed to be bigger than it was in the 1930s, than the 1960s? in the 20 tens, i have no way of knowing hamilton thought government needed to be bigger than it was. in 1791, but the federal government in 1791 was minuscule. it wasn't the size of a county government in the united states today. today, the government is so much larger than that would have thought that even larger still would have been better, or would it have been happy with government maybe a 10th the size of what it is today? we still would have been much larger than it was in hamilton. see, i simply don't know. but the other thing is that and i'll focus on this generation in particular

but hamilton's already lobbying for that, and it leads a sense that perhaps hamilton did design this law as more than a tax, maybe an intentionally heavy effort to bring into the fold of federal authority to make them bend the knee right to. bring them to heel. he's always going to be the voice advocating for extreme response. and fortunately for america president, washington has a lot of voices in his ear at the same time to kind of keep him at bay, at least for a while. 1793 will be a year for america for a lot of reasons. one of them is that a lot of these whiskey farmers begin writing letters to their congressmen, to their governors, to their senators in philadelphia. and these letters are laying out very real cases why this law needs to go and these letters get to philadelphia and they begin to pile up with response. now, reason this is happening and they don't know this is because in 1793, something else happening in philadelphia, it's yellow fever epidemic. and unfortunately, we know something. pandemics in our world and how frightening it can be in philadelphia in 1793. yello

and hamilton certainly wasn't. yeah, but also other people, when he's in charge of the coinage, he make sure that we mint a half penny so that the people with very little money can at least have a coin and do not have to just live as a colonial americans largely did by barter because they didn't have enough coin age, enough silver. so i wanted, you know, i think about your other writing and the geography of america and characterizing people by where they're from is hamilton, a new yorker? is he the beginning of the new yorker? well, he goes to new york and he's he's a immediately caught up. he goes to king's college, the ancestor of columbia university. he's he immediately gets caught up in the revolution every after he's out, he's writing. there's a episcopal minister and in westchester county. this writing a pamphlet about how you've to be loyal to the british. and here's hamilton, 18 years old, writing another of 20,000 words or something. so, again, opinionated, arrogant new yorker. yes, they're both trading we

there's, there's no two volume set of lydia hamilton smith's papers. she did write she wrote a lot of letters, but nobody i mean as tom suggested, a lot of people said, oh she's just a house housekeeper. you know, you know, preserve the papers of the housekeeper. i think i hope by the time i'm finished here tonight, you'll know that that was a mistake. to think that. in fact and and it's not an accident that nobody preserved her memories john hope franklin, the distinguished black historian had this to suggest about why people like lydia hamilton smith and and thaddeus stevens have not been remembered. and he says that defenders of the lost cause is familiar with that. there's lot of talk about that today. intimidation and lynching of black voters, reprisals against white civil rights activists, revision of civil war and reconstruction history. there's been a lot of that and paul and nikki haley get caught up in that one recently so. simple question i mean to me i think it's a simple question. apparently not nikki. i don't mean to get political here. i

that was the case with charles hamilton houston's as well. but he's born in washington, d.c., the middle class african-american family. and one year after his birth, we see the supreme court decision, plessy versus which really legalized jim crow, racial segregation through american law and sanctioned what becomes known as the separate but equal doctrine in american law. and doing so and doing so and this is very important. the versus ferguson case overthrows the equal protect 14th amendment, equal protection clause that gives essentially says everybody can come before the courts and the constitution and the laws are to apply to everybody in the same fashion. and so that's the circumstance within which he's born into. so we have to acknowledge that now houston is is as student as a young person, he was very he excelled in studies to say he graduated school at the age of 15. and he will enter into amherst college. that's prestigious college in the northeast. and he'll finish his studies there. and following graduation from amherst, he'll enlis

charles hamilton houston essentially, i'm going to war with. the system of racial segregation and legalized racial segregation in i'm trying to use the constitution to dismantle this system that that that that can trucks and organizes everybody in terms of how relate one to another right i'm trying dismantle that system and i can't go to war with part time students we are going up against the nation's best. so this is a supreme court ruling that upholds racial segregation in america. we're going up against the nation's best. and if i'm going to war, i have to go to war with students that study the law full time, that part time. this is this is this is this guy, right? this military officer, former military. so he makes transition. and as i mentioned, you begin, to make these changes, people get upset. alumni important because what do alumni provide generally for entity money right that's a donor base and abc and they're saying, look at this, you know, newbie. so when you begin to those changes as a new coach or a new dean, you generally have a

it's definitely tied to charles hamilton houston.ven though most people would associate howard university law lawschool with thurgood marshal. but marshall is houston student. working alongside houston. the naacp after houston leaves that post. and returned back to the faculty at howard school of law but without these changes again if you're going to bebe transformational in your position as an administrator you are at your students now. but if you can think ahead, students now but imagine your self a decade from now or just a hit. you need to start now. that is what houston did as a young man as a young officer in the u.s. military. he envisioned himself on putting himself in a space will be able to make those changes. live long enough. he will die. houston diesap april 221950 he definitely set things in motion. so 74 years there about. from the date. >> any other questions? >> good, good questions. who are some of the students we see associate with thurgood marshall? in the howard university school of law thurgood m marshall herfe

kenstone, executive committee member of the hamilton coalition to stop the war from hamilton ontario. gentlemen, welcome to the news review section. beginning with you, mr. mauri, yusuf, let's begin with your thoughts on why the islamic republic has not yet carried out his retaliatory attack. the answer leader says: is inevitable and called the delay or the suspense of iran's retaliation purely tactical matter. well, i think it is indeed tactical matter, and the reason i say that is because you have to understand the us and israel are spell spending millions and millions of dollars in military reinforcements across the entire region. you have warships, aircraft carriers that are spread out sporadically. across the uh red sea, arabian sea, gulf of aiden, mediterranean sea, and even us warships presently in the persian gulf, and they're there because they want to uh, conduct a counterattack when iran decides to attack israel, they want to have, they want to be in position to intercept these missiles or this attack that will be launched perhaps from iran or from other members. the access

hamilton. was one of the oldest old heads on record to have escaped the prison house of bondage in combahee river raid. and hamilton remembered that an hour or two before what he called in the gullah geechee call day clean. and i'm going to quote here to people was all a hoe and massa there was a hoe in in the rice field the gunboats come. then every man him hoe and left the rice. the enslaved laborers stood with their feet and ankles, sunk deep in muck and water between the multi shade green rows of maturing water from the stretched flow had been drained off before they were sent to hoe. it, but it was impossible to all of the water, so small amounts remained in the fields being underwater water for four weeks to six weeks left the ground swamp b and quicksand like soft stems algae growing between the of rice would have felt prickly under their feet and added to the collage greens after enslaved laborers put their toes in the balls of their feet down on the ground. then their heels sank deep.
