jefferson wants it both ways. the majority rule on all levels. >> we're expecting questions at some point that don't come from the department of history. but for now we'll have our second question. >> i'm brian bellow and i direct the national fellow ship here in the history department at uva. >> and a co-host with peter, back story with the american history guys. i'm getting in many more words this way. >> federalism begins in the family, and gary pressed you on the ability of jefferson's notion as union as it moves forward. i want to take you back to the family and jeffer southern's understanding of the relationship between a husband and wife, for instance. and his vision to how that would progress toward equality? >> it wouldn't. >> >>. >> i feel compelled to explain that answer. jefferson was a self-defined patriarch. the form of government at the family level is the norm of government that's projected on to a whole kingdom. but it is confined as nature means it to be confined to the family where there is, acc

he ultimately swore in jefferson davis. norfolk felt to the forces the forces in 1862 and alexander was always in the union had the loyal government was sitting in alexandria. they have the federal had the federal courts sitting within the boards >> explained that the last civil war was all about >> it occurred 14 years after the war but it's a very appropriate description. >> his son sued the federal government for possession of the arlington estate in northern virginia in each and 79 in the federal district court. can you imagine the emotions that generated? by then the arlington estate was the how the grounds of arlington national cemetery with many union dead from the civil war. the arlington estate had been seized by the federal government for the nonpayment of taxes. the catch is that it was tough to pay because you have to pay them in person. [laughter] there were not many that wanted to show up in arlington to pay their taxes at the time so they went unpaid at and the federal government seized property. in actuality

jefferson also loved his speeches. i don't know of any evidence that madison read burke on france where burke is more conservative, where burke is much more, is much more forceful in articulating his concerns about, frankly jefferson's kind of approach to liberalism and democracy. madison himself, of course, also changes, i think it's fair to say, or at least emphasizes different things at different times in his career. the period when he is hamilton's partner is very different from the period he's jefferson's partner, and the fact that it's the same person is at the very least mysterious. he doesn't completely con rah district himself, but i think madison at different times is in different places on this very fundamental question. >> you mentioned france. tell us about what paine's support of the revolution was based on what burke's strong concern was based on, and in this matter was burke actually correct? >> yeah. well, so the friend revolution -- french revolution is much more radical than the american revolution.

jefferson davis was planning on it. this is really an important moment for him in the sense that it is the death of every name he believes then. -- believes in. right? so this explains a little bit i -- how he was able to make the transition to the confederacy because if his political system has died cummings got replaced with something else. it's a really sad moment for him. >> thank you. >> my question is what role do you think the washington brotherhood played in reconciliation after the war , where there isn't -- jefferson davis lives out his life with no trials? does that kind of continue after the war? >> it does continue after the war. there is a willingness among politicians that existed before the war to reconcile because people are willing to use the -- to see that you fought against me but we knew each , other back then. of course the civil war brings an enormous number of new politicians to washington you don't know about the washington code. and i think that is where some of the division exists. there are s

no, jefferson said just a political city. build some buildings, plants and trees, don't pave the streets don't put in a water system. washington d.c., is controlled as a colony by the congress of the united states. congress does nothing for the city of washington unless the president takes leadership. washington, adams, jefferson jackson was actually a supporter of doing something. the great hero is going to be ulysses s. grant. but in our own times, lady bird johnson, the kennedys, bringing an expanded smithsonian, all the landscaping to the city. only presidential leadership. jefferson provided leadership. the plan is in the trash. that is the way it is going to stay until s grant -- ulysses s. grant. washington is unpaved dirty. the canal become so polluted methane gas is bubbling out of it. immediately, the new englanders said we only agree to come here, we did not agree we could not leave. in 1804-1809, at temps were made in congress to leave, to go to philadelphia baltimore, or new jersey. they all failed. but in 1814,

he ultimately swore in jefferson davis. norfolk fell to union forces in 1862 and alexandria was always in union hands. the loyalist government of governor pierpont was sitting in alexandria throughout the war and president lincoln appointed a federal judge their to begin sitting in 1863. so you had both confederate and federal courts sitting within the boards. explain to them what the last battle of the civil war was all about. >> it occurred 14 years after the war so it's a very appropriate description. general custis lee, robert e. lee's son sued the federal government for possession of the arlington estate in northern virginia in 1879 in federal district court. can you imagine the emotions that generated? by then the arlington estate was the hollowed grounds of arlington national cemetery with many burials of union dead from the civil war. the arlington estate had been seized by the federal government for nonpayment of taxes. the catch was that it was tough to pay the taxes because you had to pay them in person. [laughte

jefferson followed the same route. they had very much the same hope and dreams for western expansion. that's one thing they always shared. jefferson was an activist in western settlement. it was adams who tried to slow it up when he was president. but washington and jefferson saw eye to eye on that issue. they came to have differences on other issues, but not on that one. and they were very close at this time. excellent question. thank you. here comes a microphone. >> how much of washington's personal wealth did he invest in the potomac river project? >> some of it. washington -- what do they say about farmers? they're land rich and cash poor? washington had vast holdings, but he wasn't very liquid. indeed, a few years later when he went -- when he had to leave virginia to become president, he was so cash poor that for the only time in his life he had to borrow money at interest because he didn't want to leave debts behind. he didn't have all that much money. but he did invest money in it. not only did he invest money

those were the words being said about jefferson davis. in washington, meanwhile lincoln, too, was under fire both from the left and from the right. this cartoon appeared in a democratic newspaper in the 1864 election and it features columbia, the embodiment of america, demanding that lincoln return her children. the draftees that he had conscripted, the rolled up scroll on the bottom speaks of 500,000 of columbia's children being drawn into the war, and democrats at the time were primarily southern sympathizing. the party was rooted in the south. after the two sections split the democrats by in large continued to be sympathetic to the south and favored negotiation. the more extreme of them we referred to by the opposition as copperheads who were pretty much in favor of peace at any price. war democrats who were supportive of the war but only to the extend of achieving reunion and with little, if any, interest in abolition as a war goal. even some moderate republicans like horace greeley here were pushing lincoln hard for peace. horace gre

jefferson and fdr. in your opinion who has written the best two or three biographies on a president? >> autobiography, nobody did it better than grant. i know i'm in the south and i -- at least i didn't say sherman. at least i said -- [laughter] at least i said grant. grant's memoirs are truly a wonderful book. now, he had help. the story goes he got some ghost writing for mark twain so you couldn't do much better than that. but that's a wonderful book to read even in the south. so i'd always direct somebody to grant's memoirs. as for biographies, there are so many. there's so many, and they keep coming out. you mentioned flexner's multi-volume biography of washington. chernow has a very good volume, the best one-volume if you want to cover the whole of washington. there's some great books about periods of washington life. washington's crossing is a really good book about washington crossing the delaware. i hope to do a little bit like that, i hope in my own short way dealing with another period focused

there would be, in those volumes, about 10,000 pages just of jefferson. i've pro -- in all candor, i've read maybe half of them and have reread a lot of them. but what i did in trying to keep it manageable and also to give citations that people could easily follow up was to take for example, the modern library edition of jefferson, which in most cases is -- is adequate for the purpose. in some cases, it isn't. and i referred to those books in the bibliography, the ones that people can easily get to. so -- but it would be a lot of books, hundreds, thousands, i guess, of books. c-span: how about documents? i mean, there's a chapter on the magna charta, for instance. how many of those kinds of documents do you cite -- did you need to go back and read? the declaration of independence, the constitution, what else? >> guest: well, the text of documents, like magna charta mayflower compact, the declaration of independence, are readily available in any number of books, so i did not make any effort to go back and look at an original version, although one could do

[laughter] >> who of course is the president of the confess was si. i was stuck behind the truck for two hours and had quite a bit of time to start thinking more in depth about the civil war, and my mind always goes, to what were the wimp doing? and not just any women. what were the bad women doing? the defiant women, in the revolutionary became doing? some women did things like knit socks and sew uniforms and hold bizarres to raise money for supplies. other women became informal recruiting officers especially southern women. they shamed any man who shirked his duty to fight. there was a great story about one southern lady who was very embarrassed by the fact her fiancee did not enlist so she sent over her slave with a backage and the package contained a skirt and a note and the note said ware this skirt or volunteer. he volunteered. and some women dared to go further. and i wanted to find four such women, women who lied, spied, dranked, and murdered their way through the war, and i think i managed to do that. my goal with the book was to weave a tape

madison and jefferson were infuriated by the behavior of the first bank. jefferson had it early on in the bank's days banks days and was appalled by the scramble for federal paper. he knew the poor farmers in the south and west were not on the inside of it. and he worried that the stockholders the band of government, once it's bribed by his largess is an overwhelming it with disclaimers. the little tidbits. one of its biggest offenders was actually. i sort of got humor writing this book. of book. of course daniel webster has been remembered. the great defender of the union. if there was somebody who's pocket he could put his hand into, that's what he did. >> maybe the last quick question the budget amendment. amendment. term limits that you would favor to try to take down. >> i would favor of those. i would favor a whole host of them. the them. the problem ultimately is the amendment process has to go through congress. pro what it's worth i have i have a peace of the weekly standard. overnight and then i have something coming out of national affairs talkin

he was not madison, not jefferson.nd so there was a genial surface quality to him that i argue in the last chapter of the book ran much deeper that the ability to say we should all -- the collegiality and working together is the essence of what america is about. some people felt that was a shallow and even a mark twain or others disparage the autobiography of ben franklin, how to succeed how to win friends, how to influence people side of ben franklin. i think it goes deeper to that and i tree to show that. >> host: ann in california you are the first call for walter isaacson. >> caller: yes. i've been reading the "innovators eye" and trying too figure out if there's any particular symbolism behind the design of the cover over -- cover of the book snooze no. i wish steve jones helped more. i wanted to show interconnected. i wanted to show that people wove together. i wanted to make it feel a bet creative but also show some of the pictures but there was not a grand secret design but thank you for ask. >> host: four peop

he was jefferson davis -- president jefferson davis' secretary during the civil war. and he will become acquainted with a virginia woman whose name is constance curry fairfax. and she was a fairfax of old virginia. she will then eventually marry mr. harrison and so this is where the lineage comes through frances burden harrison. so think about that. that was important to him. you know how do we remember back? there's some -- it's been estimated that there's 16 generations from the time of pocahontas. and if you consider that a little bit, there was -- you had the parents, you had the grandparents. and then there would be follow 14 greats. so let me ask you -- talk about oral tradition that you could be -- you could remember that you were a descendent. think about your greats. you have eight great grandparents. how many of you know their names? you have 16 great, great grandparents. did you ever think about that? you know, how many -- how often have you visited their tombstones or whatnot? so things can get lost through time. this is why we have places like the nationa

i mean it's easy being tom jefferson, bringing thomas jefferson to life. he had, he was a very human person. it's easy to bring a clarence darrow or a william jennings bryan. but george washington, we have this view of washington, for many people he's like a wax figure in madam trudeau's museum. or a carved figure up on mount rushmore, he is distant to a lot of us. i think a lot of it is that terrible picture painted on the $1 bill, that was paint near death with a bulging, he looks like a squirrel with his oversized false teeth. actually, that's not what washington was like, and i got to see that in this period of his life when he was much younger before the presidency and after he was a general when he was not in political power when he didn't have -- or military power. he didn't have an office. he was a farmer. he was a plantation owner. he was a private citizen. and i could find out that he was a very, very affable person. he was a wonderful conversationalist. he was a great retail politician. he could tell stories at parties. he loved to go to parties

thomas jefferson as a young man wanted to do something about it but he recognized it was not possible to really change slavery and he kind of lived with the system. that system grew and grew and grew. ascot ton and tobacco became more and more important, more and more slaves were needed in the south more and more slaves actually came to the united states. and in the end slavery became a very important part of the southern economy. when abraham lincoln was running for president of the united states, he was widely seen as somebody who wanted to keep slavery from being expanded to new states. and we had a compromise before about which states could be -- could have slaves and which states couldn't have slaves. and lincoln was seen as being much tougher than the south thought he should be in keeping the expansion of slavery from going forward. lincoln was elected, he was elected with a minority of the popular vote but he was elected with obviously a majority of the electoral vote. it was widely viewed by many states in the south that he would eliminate slavery, not just in the new states b

but it was a palpable fear to guys like jefferson to henry clay, even to alexis de tocqueville. he didn't predict the civil war. he predicted a southern war between blacks and whites. he never thought whites as lincoln put it would be cutting each other's throats over the question of whether slavery should be the future in this country. so colonization for lincoln, i think, he never really had his heart in it. it was, as i say just a way to try to help emancipation along. and for him it was -- liberia was hopeless. it would have been something more like central america. he thought and it was very controversial, frederick douglass wasn't at this meeting but i heard about it afterwards when they had what they called a negro delegation to the white house when lincoln shared this idea of colonization in the very year that he was drafting the emancipation proclamation, he just said look even in the best place in this country blacks are not treated legally socially, or politically as an equal of whites. in short saying to them why would you want to live among the people who have been

washington was sending letters to jefferson regularly. other people were sending letters, but the letters were crafted in a way that they don't give away anything you would call covered in secrecy. they speak in general terms, except for a few of the letters to some members. there's no indication -- what is so impressive about the secrecy is that several members of the convention were totally aghast at what happened, such as the delegates from new york. they stormed off and left in the middle of the convention leaving new york no longer represented. yet even they did not report what was happening. that was a sense of honor that surveilled in that day, that even they, and till the convention was over -- when the convention was over, they told the governor everything. even they did not spill the beans. that really speaks to the sense of honor and commitment to their word that americans had back then. after reading through this, i have enormous respect for both guys, the way they dealt with him. we will see in the next session of how these b
