[laughter] >> since the legacy of the founders we have been covering jefferson and adams. what would you say are a couple of the most important influence founders.uential if we can come up with a legacy for each of them. >> i think we both agree washington, head and shoulders, figuratively over the the others. they thought so. they all agreed that washington was a superstar in hand they were just ordinary politicians. i think that is true. washington is crucial. if there is an indispensable man and the revolution, more importantly, the first decade of the national history, in 1979 washington is the man. i do not think anyone else can of how the country together. >> without him, would not have work. drugs i think in the revolutionary war he is important, but not in disposable. i think if he was killed, something else would've happened. nathaniel green or someone would lead the war. and in the nation building nation holding, i think he

and they, they really, you think well, jefferson is the greater -- jefferson is a crop. jefferson is going to die and his children will be wards of the state. his last 20 years is spent only communicating with people who have an arrangement of opinion that is extremely proslavery. he is, you know, he's been able to live -- had he been able to live until 1861, he would have gone with the confederacy, no question about it. that those people have a legitimate claim on jefferson, especially at the end. know, he dies with a son who is president of the united states. a body of land that will be inherited by his heirs. the actual condition is fundamentally different. jefferson is really in a bad, bad way. >> both men would also lose their wives and -- and confidence. children.ould lose these letters that they share, these two great founders, these elder statesman coming together, it's a virtual treasure trove. i was trying to massage the difference. honestn't think it's an correspondence. they avoid the tough questions. only slightly.t adams realizes that's just razzhing he can

and adams, when he and jefferson have, adams is in england and jefferson is in france. when they get a copy of the constitution, jefferson express his his horror that the president, he went to the presidency to rotate every year until of course, he became president. then it was, he was okay, eight years was fine. and i was -- adams writes back and says are you crazy? the more elections you have the more likely something terrible is going to happen. we should have fewer elections, we should have more elections and so, if you put hamilton argument for this on a continuum it is not as if everybody else is marching this way and hamilton was marching that way. >> i agree. it is a republican speech. not only do think it is strategic but i think he meant every word of it. i think he sincerely believed in it and it was republican and if you look at his philosophy, i would argue that hamilton supports republican government early on. he fights for that government, he believes sincerely in republican principles. and very much so during the 1790s. he is trying to promote economic p

>> it seems that jefferson davis is destined to be president one way or another.rned savvy politician is likely charting a course to the white house when the war breaks out, so he's an easy choice as the confederate president. >> bang! >> oh! >> davis shares much in common with his union counterpart, but where lincoln is adept at empowering his leaders, davis considers himself a military genius and constantly meddles in the affairs of his generals. and while both men claim freedom as their cause, jefferson davis will ultimately sacrifice thousands of lives to preserve the institution of slavery. >> you're supposed to shoot the yankees, not the president! >> you could've been a yankee. >> ah. have you been practicing your drilling, private? >> yes, sir! >> let me see. >> a one, a one, a one and one! a one, a... oh. oh, i think i hear the real yankees coming. wait for it. >> fire! >> bang. got her, general! >> aesseer just delivered this. >> what ist? >> vicksburg has fallen. ♪ ♪ >> the vital confederate stronghold of vicksburg falls to ulysses s. grant just one day

jefferson meets him for the first time. jefferson is dressed in his bathrobe and slippers. it does not go over well. jefferson decides i will host a welcoming dinner. since the merry's were the guests of honor for this dinner, elizabeth merry would have been expected to be taken into dinner first by the highest ranking man, which would be president jefferson. then her husband, ambassador merry would take the second ranking spouse which would've been dolley. instead, jefferson grabs dolley's arm to escort her in the room. dolley is advising him that this is not correct. he ignores the advice and james madison escorts elizabeth merry and the ambassador walks in without anybody on his arm. we think it is humorous, but it was scandalous. it was embarrassing and it was in the papers all over europe. ambassador merry began only going to a few gatherings and did not take his wife. he encouraged all the other foreign ministers to follow his examples, meaning that there would be very few opportunities for diplomacy to go forward and for american politicians to get to know one anothe

some will remember jefferson. but he's remembered not so much for his presidency but because he wrote the declaration of independence. and then you jump forward to jackson, and then lincoln. but what about fillmore, zachary taylor, fillmore? that's because the american constitution was not written with the presidency as the center of congress. the presidency is described only in article 2 of the constitution. the longest article is about congress. it was assumed and intended that american politics would be driven by the representatives of the people. the members of the house of representatives and the senate. and the president was the chief executive, his job was to execute the will of the congress. presidents were not expected to take the initiative, not expected to drive politics, or be the centerpiece of american politics. that is what was fully intended. so the fact that it is hard to remember presidents from the 19th century is what james madison and the members of the constitution said that's what they were

i wrote a lot about thomas jefferson, and one of my critics said, why are you criticizing thomas jefferson for slavery? you know, he's just like any other man of his times. and my answer is, we don't put just anybody on the nickel. we don't just put anybody on the $2 bill. we don't just put anybody's name on one building of the library of congress. we put people who are better than the men of their own times. two more questions, and then we're probably out of time. >> wonderful talk. owning let's say 250 slaves, how -- where did he rank among the top slave holders in virginia? >> no idea. he had a lot of money. you know, he would have been on the forbes, you know, richest 1,000 men in virginia. he's rich. >> thank you, professor. such an enlightening lecture. so you said that john marshall wasn't corrupt. it was his perspective, his view of his life and his investment that influenced his decisions. so one thing i love about history is that you can look at history to see who you are as a society today. so i'm concerned about our court judges right now. particularly the ones that are being n

early in life he had studied law, and he married a jefferson granddaughter, virginia jefferson randolph. when he got to mexico, tryst angered polk by agreeing to an ill-advised armistice outside of mexico city that gave santa ana time to fortify the city. polk and buchanan recalled him. by the time the recall reached him, there was this three week lag in communications between mexico city, sometimes longer and washington. by the time the recall reached mexico city had surrendered, peace talks had begun. and tryst received the recall, and he packed up to leave. to obey it. but mexican officials, british diplomats and scott urged him to stay and continue the talks. so tryst disobeyed his orders, resumed the negotiations, and he signed the very treaty that polk had wanted. but polk never forgave tryst. even though his actions spared the united states the draining guerrilla war. tryst was dismissed from the state department. polk refused to pay his salary or expenses after the date tryst received his recall. for years afterwards tryst barely avoided bankruptcy. it was only in 1871 when he w

cultural correspondent jefferson chase he's standing by at our berlin studios jefferson the decision not to award the nobel prize for literature this year that's been made what does it mean for the economy and its reputation. well terry of course it's a huge huge embarrassment for the academy you know the and we talk about the nobel prize for world literature here this is a very austere very prestigious very cultured award and they've been basically dragged into a sex scandal which is kind of comparable to the one that engulfed charlie rose in the us or or bill cosby it goes back allegedly twenty years it involved involved the husband of one of the members of the committee who is alleged to have you know abused molested. a number of women so i mean this is a major embarrassing embarrassment the acting head has said that it's that's an absolute disgrace and cultural commentator since we've sweeney are saying that this could be devastating for the academy so jepson you say the scandal goes back quite a long time so it's been building over time what was the deciding factor in the end to

cultural correspondent jefferson chasey joins us for a parliamentary studios jefferson the decision not to award the nobel prize for literature has now been made what does this mean for the swedish academy and its reputation well terry of course it's it's extraordinarily bad news for the academy i mean the the nobel prize for literature is really one of these great symbols of a steer serious respectable. world culture and of course for them to be caught up in a sex scandal that's sort of reminiscent of the ones in the states with charlie rose of bill cosby is an absolute absolute catastrophe the acting head of the organization is talking about severe damage and cultural critics in sweden are already calling this news absolutely devastating this is the first time they would hasn't been given since one thousand nine hundred forty nine and back then it was because they couldn't find any books that were good enough so this does not this is not what you think of normally when you think of the nobel prize for literature ok it's a shocking decision for a man and then can you tell us more about

and jefferson has the same response. they consider it sort of slutty-looking. she is not polished. mary says what is in her heart and often it is not very witty or elegant. i think, in her letters to george, mary always sends love to martha. so if there was a feeling of negativity, i think it probably was on martha's side. but i cannot swear to that. >> i have a comment and a question. the comment about the clothing. linda baumgarten, the curator of clothing at williamsburg in the past talked about clothing and that lots of women did not keep up with the time as far as their undergarments and over garments. was there any reason she might not have petitioned the federal congress instead of just north carolina? >> i think the reason would have been that the two issues she was petitioning about were really matters for the state government. one involved debts the state owed for provisioning their troops, and the other involved exactly how the states confiscation law was going to play out with individual people. all of the states had confiscation laws, but they were all different. the f

[laughter] a great quit but actually jefferson rarely dined alone he often had people overte for dinner and he kept a running tally of people that had dinner with him at the executivee mansion. many distinguished people were after dinner that evening and i will tell you a little bit about those people that some actually declined like jd salinger or tennessee williams william faulkner who lived in charlottesville 100 miles away so that's 100 miles away that's far to go for a meal. [laughter] falconer was ill. but you heard about the dinner i just want to elaborate on that because the socialit secretary was having various meetings with her staff to talk about preparations for the evening and really she didn't grass american mediums and he was quite concerned and he was horrified and indeed he was able to serve beef wellington. i would like to say a word about jackie kennedy and her role. she was very much engaged in all these events at the white house. the postmortem of the staff to see a something could have been done better but she had a tremendous impact on the white arhouse and over t

they had a good purpose, but the democrats, the populists, the jacksonians and jeffersons said no, sell it, or away at low prices so people will flock out there and they will take that land and the land and they will build communities and churches nd they will build up america opposed to the buildts, the elites would up the country from above. george herbert walker bush, and i tell you, i covered those people, i covered early reagan years in congress, the budget and tax got to know all of those people. and i covered the reagan white the 1984 campaign and i got to know all the bush people. one thing that struck me was really believe in

jefferson has the same response to it.

>> war for jefferson davis! >> hey, what happened to the agreement? please, let him go!ess because on one hand, it sticks with the union, but it is a slave state, and you have those who are preaching secession, preaching rebellion, and it creates this civil war within missouri, neighbors against neighbors. it's chaos. >> unable to escape the horrific war that only he sees coming, sherman enters the fray prepared to do whatever it takes to end the rebellion and bring about peace. but in sherman's eyes, peace will only come by making the people of the south really feel the wrath of war. >> mayor? >> it is astonishing that a man whose prescient analysis of union unpreparedness was once dismissed by president lincoln, a man whose superiors deemed him unfit for duty and was called insane in the press, is now not only at the center of the war effort but in a position to bring the south to its knees. >> as a multitude of homeless citizens flee atlanta, confederate president jefferson davis travels to georgia to boost their morale. >> georgians, it would have gladdened my heart

who i am sure was not at all amused by what she had to say because jefferson, as we know had issues with women. the point is, all of these other cool who sent in these stuff, they are saying it in private.

[laughter] in the end, the state of north carolina, their land office issued a grant of land in jane's own name for 400 acres in her old neighborhood of abbott's creek in rowan county, which might or might not have been part of william's original property. i haven't figured that out yet. still, there are so many questions that i will probably never be able to answer. here are some of the really interesting ones that to me, are kind of obvious. why did jane not leave north caro

[laughter] they say letters of lincoln or jefferson. the other part of that is the justices are -- don't write letters as much it's very hard to get the same kind of traction scholarly traction with today's justices. i mean, frankfurter was a gift defending whatever he whatted to be -- champion hoing at the time. and i don't think too. justices do that anymore and be surprised if chief justice roberts would do that. would have long diary entries and -- but i'll never destroy. >> justice black -- for example. but why don't i have a lot more questions but i'm sure all of you do too. so -- marci are you going to emcee all of this ?rchg time for q and a so we have a microphone for those of you on the far side to -- accommodate our friends at c-span and booktv who are kind enough to be here and if you're on this side i'll be happy to bring the mike over to you if that's helpful or get a sand in your seats and project. so what, while people are getting situated formulating their questions an getting to a mic, maybe -- professor simon you can

jefferson on the other hand was quite bad on this.lled hamilton a monarchist but he was essentially the kingdomof a little where he ruled over these slaves. abouta book the other day hamilton getting attacked for promoting child labor. jefferson used child labor. black child labor and said some pretty creepy things about it. so hamilton was very good. he seemed to have been mostly free of racial prejudice for his time and partly this was because he grew up on an island where he saw sugarcane plantations and how viciously the blacks were mistreated. about 10 minutes left with joseph tartakovsky before the house pro forma session. you can keep calling in. tartakovsky, i want to ask you about an interview you did in which he discussed how -- you discussed how people ask you questions about what did the founding fathers think about any certain subject. the mostw is interesting thing about what we call the founding fathers is how much they fought among themselves. once the constitution took effect they were at each other's throats about ev

in each case the american people rose up against the elite and in the case of jefferson was against theedition acts and just in case it was bankamerica in lincoln's case it was slavery. today was a case it was [inaudible] and in reagan's case it was against the washington and i believe trump understood the way and the power has been drifting from the people and localities to big government and corporate america last 50 or 60 years. i think part of the frustration on the part of trump voters is that they feel their powers of slipping away to big corporations and big governments and they have less opportunity to determine their own destiny so this in trump understood this and tapped into it. that makes his election very, very important in the context of american history. >> with you from michael in fayette, alabama. good afternoon, michael. >> caller: i want to thank the panel for mentioning first of all politeness versus today's harshness in political discourse and i want to beg on both of you at c-span2 have an early morning washington journal episode or a book tv episode or something,

jefferson davis, the former president of the confederacy. sumner was charles sumner, loathed by confederates and had been for many years. this letter would get more provocative still. longstreet offered the self-evident proposition that the highest of human laws is the law that is established by appeal to arms. he then deduced since the sword decided in the favor of north, northern principles had become law. it was the duty of the defeated south to "abandon ideas that are obsolete." among the things that longstreet classed as obsolete was the democratic party itself. [laughter] which was nothing more than a vehicle for old prejudice. his words. sounding a lot like a republican, longstreet described congress' reconstruction act as peace offerings which would give the south a fresh start. he directly addressed the issue of race relations, casting black suffrage in the south and arguing that the spirit of black voting should be extended to the north and fully tested, as he put it. a few days later, longstreet offered a fourth letter, a coda to

whether you talk about jefferson and hamilton in washington's cabinet or jefferson and burr or jeffersonmade this government work. go back to the federalist papers. madison's view and hamilton's view. but they synthesized and created an extraordinary document. >> that's right. and one of the things we have to remember is as you say, joe, there are very few debates that are truly new when it comes to the size, the scope, the structure of our federal government. sure, the context has changed, the parameters have changed a bit but the same basic discussion is very similar to what it was then. now and then it's been important to focus on the fact that governments operate only by force and we don't have access to angels or immortal superbeings to govern over us. that has to be done by humans and that has to be careful about power, that's a key focus of written out of history. >> isn't that the genius of madison who understood checks and balances and let me ask you as somebody, who i'm sure like me, grew up reading madison and thanking god madison was there at the founding, aren't you concerne

belmont's location in jefferson county is just east of tallahassee, right here in middle florida. also connects randall's property toin contingent thousand dispossession. middle florida was not forest when the randalls relocated there in the 1820s. middle florida is everything between this river and this river. lower creeks from georgia, fleeing white encroachment, had migrated into this area around 1715, and founded settlements around the lake, just a few miles north of the randall plantation. in fact, thomas randall purchased corn from the village in the late 1820s, so he was well aware of their existence and partially dependent on their agricultural production. caught up in what laura called in one of her letters a mania for florida land, her husband, father and uncles contributed to a booming real estate market in jefferson county, where land values increased very quickly. from $1.25 to $5 an acre in just two years. their investments in land combined with large numbers of slaves mirrored the movement of many of their neighbors, all hoping to become wealthy planters. by 1840, o

how would jefferson discover that? was there a black woman female orangutan asked them to make a choice just think about it. in 1934, the 23-year-old accused of killing a white woman -- the confession was forced out of him and they got together. he was castrated and his penis was stuffed into his mouth and he was forced to say i like it. then they cut off his testicles and they were stuffed in his mouth and while in his mouth he was forced to say that he liked it. they would slice and pull on it while he was applied and put a noose around his neck to the point he lets loose consciousness and then they would torture him all over again. they cut off his tongue, finger, finally killed him and took him to a nearby town where children came out with the state and they got to stab the black nigger, they got to stab the body. these lynchings are in the photographs on postcards you could send to your family and you could send messages like you missed the barbecue. it became a capitalistic consumption and body parts were sold. a

thank you. >> well, in the case of that remark by jefferson, and even hominids, one thing that jefferson said that i would not want to agree with. in the 18th and 19th century. there were a number of people, can you quote from jefferson to rusken, who extolled the great virtues of war. very paradoxically, because they used to say war is what strengthens the people and the flower of manhood is honed by the experience of war. well how can that be? all the good guys go off and fight and die in the war and all the bad, weak, feeble, one-eyed guys stay home and reproduce themselves. how can that be an evolutionary advantage? so this idea, this poetic nonsense about you know, refreshing creative liberty without blood, i would rather have a great bunch of senators who didn't have to learn that to be great senators, by having to go to war. it would be so much better if they they didn't learn that at the expense of tens of thousands of other people who suffered as they did. it's an interesting fact that the consequence of the experience of combat. when you read actual accounts of how people behav

that's not what washington, jefferson, lincoln and all of them thought. just to control borders but also to control people, citizens, to control all freethinking into one thinking mind. it's difficult to understand why should we put all nation in hands of one man everton do what he pleases. that's not the american dream. that's not what washington, jefferson, lincoln and all of them thought. they wanted to have independent branches of powers. they wanted to have checks and balances because they knew that in some times you get as leaders fake leaders, false prophets. you get as leaders those who don't have a clear path where they're going and what for they're moving there. so we're back to the nation state. we're back to what we saw at the beginning of last century, a president like president hoover making decisions to limit, to refrain creativity, innovation, change of the corporations, limiting them to go abroad and produce, forcing them to stay at home, or taxing imports worst off. and what happened? the big depression. so we've been moving around this
