double jackson's size. lee counselled jackson cache your troops as much as possible until you strike your blow and be prepared to return to me when done. i'll endeavor do keep general mcclellan quiet until this is over if rapidly executed. clearly this next campaign for jackson was to be one of an offensive nature. lee's hope for a quick offensive action by jackson against pope in the army of virginia and the return to his army was quickly dashed. jackson was slow, careful, and cautious during this time period. he had heard a federal forces concentratesing in fredericksburg which if true posed a serious threat to richmond and the line of communications with the confederate capital. he was also struggling as he told lee to find a way to turn pope's position north of the rapiddan river. lee concurred to avoid frontal assaults against the position to use maneuver, to get pope out of his strong position, bring him out into an open field and participate in then one of the classic assaults and hopefully victories

jackson's line had held. and on several occasions, jackson's units went on the offensive following these federal charges. but siegel would not give up. with the arrive afl carney's division on hill's already battered left, general sherz would or the the brigades to renew the assault. the blessing of the 74th pennsylvania recalled this renewed attack. that point a heavy shower of great shot and canister pouring into us we withdrew to the railroad dam. general sherz was under the belief that carney would advance with him but he failed to do so. as we began to explore these early attacks against jackson's defensive line at second manassas, one of the things that i hope is beginning to stick out about the federal plan is that each and every time these units going in are going in on their own hook. jackson's line in the entirety has yet to be pressed to the full federal advantage in numbers. but why had general carney failed to advance? frans siegel's assaults, from the sherz brigade and millroy and shafrpg had a

jackson staff informed him. he said general jackson sprang up. directing his sword, them to attack the enemy. jackson would say, gentlemen bring out your men. the division would open the fight with only part of his command. at 4:30 p.m. he ordered the the secondtillery engage for nearly 15 minutes before reinforcements arrive. 30 minutes into the fight, the general got his men in the action. every attack jackson had thrown out at job gibbons' federal men had been fairied. jackson's men achieved a superiority in numbers and pushed the assault forward. the loss of engagement was heavy for jackson's command, losing 1,250 men in the engagement. of which his own brigade, the old stonewall brigade had suffered 340 casualties of the 800 they took into combat that afternoon. why jackson chose to attack this lone federal division is interesting. particularly as we established jackson was concentrating his divisions into a strong defensive position. if you're taking a strong defensive position, why are you going on to the offensive and the assault? could n

i quote jackson here. the declarations we hear on this floor will make them, slave holder congress men, fear the door is once opened that their property is not secure. and if congress once opened this door, i contend that there is no bound in which they may stop. in the end, neither the petitions nor the lower southerners could claim total victory. following three days of debate on the report's individual clauses, on march 23rd, 1790, the house cage to an agreement. on the house's motion, the house voted to substitute the word until with "prior to" in the first clause. this maneuver kept intact verbatim the constitution's original construction on the slave trade. the revised version read, quote, that the migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now think proper to admit cannot be prohibited by congress prior to the year 1808. this was a response to lower southern concerns that the report's original language of "until" assumed that the slave trade would be abolished in 1808 when, in fac

jackson says that's exactly what i'm asking for. so lee takes a deep breath, peers one more time into his binoculars looks at the the position and turns to jackson and says no, general, it cannot be done. and jackson says that isn't enough and the two of them get back on their horses and they ride back towards police headquarters. on the way jackson gives steven lee the task of going back to robert e. lee in person and telling him and having steven lee tell robert e. lee this isn't going to work, general. so you can imagine steven lee doing this. and steven lee rides up to robert e. lee and says this isn't going to work. and as lee later recalled he said a shade came over robert e. lee's face. and shortly after that robert e. lee decides it is time to leave maryland. and this is where we think the story of antietam typically ends. and the armies don't do anything for a while until frederic fredericksberg. but lee's withdrawal is not even a withdrawal. it's a change of plans. here's lee's idea. september 18th his army is going to cro

is jackson mississippi a kind of model for you should explain what's going on in jackson what jackson mississippi is a model in the sense of how we can use the electoral arena. was one aspect of the strategy plain old hat in the basically right now we have an election where. the son of. who won the marriage ship four years ago but who died after eight months in office we have another opportunity now to seize a local local power if you will to experiment or how we can use their space to in fact shift power to the people and he does some amazing talk a little bit about transforming locally because i don't know if you agree but i think that radical change is going to. a place like jackson it's not going to come from a green party candidate running for president but i think you have sadly right to be on the board of directors of cooperation jackson which is the the nonprofit arm of that of that activity building cooperatives organizing and building people's assemblies having an independent social base that is. committed to building independent political power with running the as one aspec

and jackson warned that has this consequence. for jackson any effort to free a people whose natural disposition predispose them to slavery was a waste of time and resources, but also flew in the face of nature's intended design for africans. unconditional bondage. following jackson's speech, the members of the house present voted down tucker's proposed amendment to the report. so the report continued to be debated and considered. during the next day's debate, smith and dennis burk representing south carolina aggressive will defended slavery. both echoed jacks's depiction as inferior and naturally fit for bondage. by advocating emabs pation, the petitioners were doing an act of inhumanity to the slaves. during the late revolution, america witnesses how unfit people of african decent were for freedom and at that time the commander lord cornwall is conferred liberty as he swept through the countryside but burk claimed most of these former slaves died in mass, there by demonstrated, quote, how totallyin cape -- incapable they are of

this is the oldest surviving building in jackson. and a place where mississippi history happened over the 175 years many things occurred in this building within these halls that affected mississippi history. and made us what we are today. from 1839 to 1903 this building served as mississippi state house. which was the witness of many important laws passed. visits by important statesmen across the south. a lot of important events toolk took place here. mississippi su seeded from the union in in building in 1861. passed the last two state constitutions. even the one that is in existence today passed in 1890. laws that granted rights to many of the citizens and later on laws that took away many of the rights. so it's easy to say that within the walls mississippi is where it is today due to the empchts that took place here. we discuss a number of issues, for instance greek resooifl architecture that was the style the building was building was built in. beautiful columns a great rotunda and dome. we also discuss nickels the architect of t

jackson hole, wyoming today.t of the event said another rate hike is feasible this year if u.s. data holds up. dallas fed president robert kaplan calls for patients. -- patience. >> i have not lost faith that inflation could get back to 2%, we have to understand cyclical forces, the models that understand those are being offset by new forces that we understand mainly by looking at industries and companies and talking to ceos, those are having a mediating effect on inflation. struck as i read about the previews for this conference how many of them downplayed specifics of the policy effects from this event. what are you listening for as this conference gets underway? >> i follow people who do not have high expectations. has been a lot of buildup over the summer. ishink what people hope for greater insight into what janet yellen is going to do with the balance sheet. given the setup of different views on inflation, i'm not sure how different they really are, i think patients could mean a december rate hike. i am not

jackson --nd les actionless jackson. >> a lot of that has been unwind. there.round draghi also certain extents around yellen. she has stated the subject of her speech is going to be on financial stability. i think this is going to be we have,ng because coming up, the expectations that the fed is going to announce the start of its balance sheet reduction program. reinforcement for the outlook stability. there is so much cash out there because balance sheets are so bloated that it is causing term premiums the amount people are going to accept for looking of their capital. that is very low. it is not until you start to get balance sheet induction that that is going to rise. it is not until that rises until you see asset prices next markets that start -- next to markets that start to the flight. another speech about financial stability, she gives this in -- she gives the timing of the balance sheet reduction. anna: that is where it could be interesting. yellennce that janet could mention her own concerns around valuations? that is something that even slightly away

my thunder was somewhat stolen on justice jackson, i called to speak about him.hought that he was probably one of the most eloquent draftsman to ever sit on the court, but he was also the last justice who read the law and he was not a graduate from law school. and also i think one of the great statements in american constitutional law and history was his majority opinion for the court in west virginia state board of education versus barnett. when you do get to brown versus board hopefully someone will speak of his memoranda of law that he drafted in anticipation of a concurrence that he was going to issue in brown, but i believe his concurrence in this case has a much more far historical impact than black's majority opinion. >> i would agree with what you've said about justice jackson. so he is somebody without much -- really maybe any formal legal training, maybe as a law professor that should tell me a great deal, but he's in there, in this mix, every bit as influential, every bit as informed and intelligently engaged as any other justice and i think that's a r

andrew jackson was far from a hero. he had major problems of racism and again -- genocidal tendencies. i don't want to make him a model for presidencies today. the point i make out all our presidents are deeply flawed. we shouldn't make them heroes. it is about to manage our i society better. seems ethics and integrity are at core of leadership. what i try to show in the book, debra, even most ethical individual, andrew jackson was not one of them, but george washington who was deeply ethical person, the power of the office can pull you into things might look like in the short term they serve your interests but actually undermine yourte principles and if particular your ethical framework as you behave.. this is true for washington and slavery. it is true for lincoln at certain moments as well. true for every president i try to show. most important element of leadership protecting our ethics is humility. presidents must recognize as powerful as they are, they are still very limited what they can do. we can not change the

it will be the concurrence of robert jackson. jackson does not serve on the court very long.tunately, dies in his early 50s. but one of the great distinctions he's going to have in the short time he's spend on the court is perhaps he's thought to be the greatest writer perhaps the court has ever seen. his concurrence is not just well-written but puts together a framework that's going to be a lens in a sense. the filter through will we'll look. >> and because that framework is so important, we're going to take a minute and read you. he established three scenarios for executive action and how much power a president would have under those to withstand the legal challenges. and as our guests have said, these have become the benchmarks by which future executive actions have been judged. so let's look at them. first of all, he writes in his concurrence, when the president acts to express or implied authorization of congress, his authority is at its maximum. a second scenario. when the president acts in absence of congressional grant or authority, he can only rely upon his own indep

that's what jackson is saying to him. >> when jackson was attorney general he was also operating at differente this is pre-taft-hartley, in the midst of a total war so part of where he's going to try to justify why he's coming out differently is because things have changed. >> as you said, justice hugo black wrote the majority decision. but there were a number of written concurrences, does that muddle the interpretation of the case? >> it ends up not muddling it too much. one concurrence will stand out, the concurrence of robert jackson. jackson does not serve on the court very long. unfortunately dies in the early '50s. but one of the great distinctions he's going to have in the short time he spends on the court is he's thought to be the greatest writer that the court has ever seen. his concurrence is not just well written. but it puts together a framework that's going to become the lens in a sense, the filter through which we'll look through all subsequent spgs of powers case. >> because of the framework is so important, we'll read you, he established three scenarios for executive action an

one of the most famous visits by anyone was andrew jackson.he came in 1840 basically a year after the building had been built, and was asked to speak here in his namesake city. jackson is named after our seventh president of the united states. andrew had been asked to go to new orleans to take part in the 25th anniversary of his victory at the battle of new orleans of the british in 1812. when city leaders learned he was going to be there, they asked him to come here. so he did at age 73 came to jackson. it was a huge event in the young city. many of the town's residents had been asked to come to the state capitol and help decorate it to make it festive for the president's appearance. jackson was supposed to speak in this room, but at age 73 his voice was so frail he was unable to do it. so his nephew actually read his speech from the front portico instead. another important visit was by jefferson davis. he came in december of 1862 to boost sagging morale during the civil war. he was accompanied by his main general joseph e. johnston who vowed

. >> our current president makes a number of rough -- references to andrew jackson. firstrew jackson was the presidency that the president was not in the mold of our original founding fathers. he's not from massachusetts or virginia, he's a frontiersman. first, he brought the presidency closer to citizens on the frontier. second, he works against what he saw with elite control of the american economy and he created a more charismatic model. george washington wanted to be a , separateate figure from the people. >> what motivated you to write the book? guest: i've been motivated to write this book for a long time. watched great leaders failed time and again. people with so much opportunity, so much skill. i work a lot with people in the business community and intellectual communities. to see how difficult it is for the most talented figures. use it,ivated me to understanding the challenges of leadership in the modern world. host: many of you following us on facebook. from the book "the contemporary presidency is in perpetual crisis mode. possibly running to catch up wi

that's going to be jackson. jackson does not serve on the court very long. unfortunately, dies in his 50s. but one of his distinctions he's going to have is he's thought to be the greatest writer, perhaps, the court has ever seen. his concurrence is not just well-written but puts together a framework that's going to be a lens in a sense. >> and because that framework is so important, we're going to take a minute and read you. he established three powers and how much power a president would have under these. and these became the bench marks under which future actions have been judged. first, he writes in his concurrence, when the president acts, his authority is at its maximum. the second nar yo, when the president lacks congressional authority, he can only rely upon his own independent powers. but there is a zone of twilight that he and congress may have concurrent authority. and the third scenario, when the president takes measures incompatible with expressed powers his power is at the lowest ebb. so what's important about that framework the. >> jackson's a
