according to his slave isaac mr jefferson was a compassionate master. ironically isaac surname was also jefferson but no significance can be attached of a coincidence. we hold these truths to be self-evident. that all men are created equal. that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. the declaration of independence jefferson's political masterpiece became a milestone in human history the original draft contained a demand for the abolition of slavery. but after congress deleted this passage jefferson the pioneer of liberty left the problem to be dealt with by future generations. this contradiction probably troubled him for the rest of his life especially as it was slaves who built the cello the architectural symbol of human dignity and freedom i am an enthusiastic on the subject of the arts but it is an enthusiasm of which i am not ashamed as its object is to improve the taste of my countryman to increase their reputation to reconcile to them the respect of the wor

and and you think, well, jefferson's the greater -- jefferson is bankrupt. jefferson's going to die and his children will be wards of the state. his last 20 years is spent only communicating within a range of opinion that's extremely pro-slavery. he is, you know, he has said, you know, if he had been able to live to 1861, he would have gone with the confederacy, no question about it. and calhoun and fitzhugh and those people have a legitimate claim on jefferson, especially at the end. >> you're absolutely right about that. >> adams, you know, he dies with a -- you know, with a son who's president of the united states and with a body of land that's going to be inherited by his heirs. and so their actual condition is fundamentally different. and jefferson is really in a bad, bad, bad way. >> both men would also lose their wives and confidants. jefferson lost martha wales skelton long before, but they lose these and both men would lose children. so these letters they share are of these two great founders, these elder statesmen coming together and they're a virt

it was shared by jefferson davis and his wife. that was little unusual for this time period because it wealthy married couple would tend to have a separate beds and bedrooms. as we have seen, jefferson davis converted the other bedroom to his office. so he and his wife shared this office and this bed. the mattress is modern. the bed is the original. ms. davis was an interesting woman. her full maiden name was farina banks howell. was 18 years younger than her husband. when they got married he was -- she was 18 and he was 36. she was independent-minded. possibleeducated as for mid century american woman. she was sharp tongued at times. she had more friends than enemies. this is her room off to the side. room or it as a sitting a dressing room or reading and writing room. we have an original writing desk of her. she wrote quite a bit of a especially later in her life. after jefferson davis died in 1889 at the age of 81, mrs. davis moved to new york city. she signed a contract with joseph pulitzer to provide him with newspaper column

will you all channel thomas jefferson? [laughter] >> mr. jefferson. [laughter] >> it's a great question. i think the idea -- we use the word and quite properly, deportation. that is what colonization would be. i think jefferson had a fantasy, wanted to believe that that would be consensual. one of his concerns about the failure to resolve the slavery problem and to reach a final solution, which would be -- which would be based on the theory of colonization -- he never joined the colonization society. towas completely stupid think about colonization, although people continue doing so even into the civil war. practical, implementing it was impossible. it would have to be a national project. that means that the man who uses the defensive states as a bulwark would have to mobilize the national government to solve the slavery problem. southerners -- this was a knot that southerners could not unwind. jefferson had a theory and he insisted until his death, if anybody else would get it and then act on it, the problem would be solved. passed,more time that the

this is what jefferson is saying. my man jefferson has come in for a lot of heat. he did in the 19th century and he deserved it if you think he was a founder and that he created america. well no, he did not do that. when he said equality, yes he owned many human beings. there are so many things to say about jefferson and if david would just leave, annette and i would talk about the rest of the evening about jefferson. this is called the right of expatriation. this is what the americans were exercising. this would be the american response to this ridiculous speech. i'm sorry david, let me get straight for just a minute. here we are, i am setting the stage for us. we are all committed to this enterprise, my fellow americans, this is a mobilization. and the point we are looking toward, our goal is to become a people. and this is the point i want to emphasize. start first with the idea of reciprocal recognition, bonds of union. the only point of having rights is to do something with them. they are not an end in themselves. if you are secure in your rights , i promise a

this is jefferson davis. this is the only wartime portrait of jefferson davis. it was done in this house from life in august of 1863 when he was 55 years old. we believe that this portrait hung in the house somewhere. we are not sure where, after it was finished. we do know that davis took it with him when he left richmond in april of 1865 and gave it to someone in south carolina when he was passing through that state and the museum got it back later and we have displayed it ever since. jefferson davis was born in kentucky, the same state that abraham lincoln was born in actually. both men were born in kentucky. neither of them stayed there that long. davis' family moved south soon after davis' birth. they moved to louisiana and then over to mississippi. davis grew up mostly in mississippi. although, he returned to kentucky a couple times both for educational reasons. he went to boarding school in kentucky and then later to transylvania university in kentucky before going off to the u.s. u.s. military military academy at west point. lincoln, by contrast, spent w

wasn't jefferson a hypocrite? is in every word of the declaration of independence nearly an example of self-serving hypocrisy? that is a question i have gotten a lot as i talk about the declaration. before i take you into the text. i need to say something about who wrote the declaration. this is important because as i understand it, u.s. citizenship exam, there is a question who wrote the declaration and the correct answer is thomas jefferson. i will give you a different answer. thomas jefferson put author, declaration of independence. that is a good way to make sure you get credit for something. keep that in mind. consider what you want credit for. that is not to say he doesn't deserve credit. he was the chair of the committee of five people who drafted the declaration. who else was there? john adams, benjamin franklin, roger sherman, adam livingston. adams made significant contributions, then congress edited by 25 percent. it was a group writing effort. even beyond that, the declaration itself, the fact there wa

all of the ones related to jefferson davis. and then it has the box of those 37 -- you know what's funny? i think there were only 34 in the box. three were missing. but with that list, i was able to cross index by using newspaper accounts and stuff to get the other three. >> how fully were the 37 executed and pursued? for instance, of john breckenridge, who fled the country, and some of the cabinet members were gone for a period of years. were they aware of the indictment, and did it keep them out of the country? until it was -- >> oh yeah, they knew about the indictments for sure. such a great point. many of the ones under indictment did flee. one of them, who i write a lot in the book about, is a guy by the name of jubal early, who fled to mexico and then made it up to canada. cantankerous, unreconstructed confederate. and he was more worried than the others because he had been responsible for burning the town of chambersburg, pennsylvania. he thought maybe they will come after me. pugna such a cious character. when he return

was the pettit jury that was ready to hear the trial against jefferson davis. underwood was not only an abolitionist like great champion of african-americans, and he made a great effort to make sure there were african-americans on that jury that would hear the case against jefferson davis, presumably, they had decided to try davis first and presumably lee would have been second. they would have tried him next. one thing i will say about this, too, that i think is sort of interesting is the case against davis, and then, of course, against all of the confederates, broke down because the attorney general, i think, felt he was doing the right thing and believed that treason should be tried by a jury in a traditional court and not only that, but rightn needed to breach in the location where it was committed. in this case, virginia. a we stop and think for second, how easy or difficult to you think it would have been to try jefferson davis and robert e. lee in a richmond courtroom made up of ordinary virginians fter the civil war? i think the union propagators look a

it comes to play in jefferson. more so in jefferson than alexander stevens. he wanted and expected the support during the war because of the large amount of cotton that was going to england but to france, as well. daif davis was a better politician. there was good quotes on his white supremacy early. but alexander stevens he was the joe biden -- can i say that? he didn't say anything. in his speech he said it's about slavery and white supremacy. that's why we left. we're better for it. our constitution is built on that. jefferson davis was playing it a little more carefully and he was quite surprised i think he was rather surprised when england didn't come in on the side of the confederacy. and part of that was the slavery issue. england realized it would abolish slavery in the '30s, i think, throughout the empire. if it was about slavery, they weren't going to get involved. >> also, there was an incredible giving up of slaves that the french and the british did. lost an incredible amount of money earlier. cotton was no longer being sent to britain and made.

jefferson davis proposed one. william stewart proposed one. and stephenon douglas both proposed at least one. three governors chimed in. they came from state legislatures, governors, congress, secession conventions, and the washington peace convention. my book is built around these amendments because, as i learned, no one else had gathered them or analyzed them. what do what do they mean? , i mentioned that james buchanan had three subsets. crittenden had six. most had fewer than one, one paragraph long. was onen davis' paragraph long. when you add up those subsets, those articles, there are 350 different topics that are embodied in those 67 amendments. so one of the first things i had to do was to sort of categorize them. i created a chart listing the topics along the top and the proposers down the left side. and if you have read extensively in the decade of the 1850's, in the run-up to the war from the compromise of 1850 to the civil war, these amendments tracked the difficulties that this country was trying to deal with. the largest number

as the same as in 1800, when he took 36 ballots to affirm that the country had intended, that jefferson be president and not burr, and burr could cut that off in a second just by saying what everybody already knew, that jefferson was a man, not him. but instead he stayed in albany and did not say a word about this to anyone. and he let it go. that is the kind of guy he was. this is the presidency. burr had sought to be the governor of new york, but hamilton had politics against him and despite his early advantage he lost by the widest margin in the short history of gubernatorial contests in new york. when he saw that hamilton called him dangerous, it smarted. he called out hilton asking what he meant by it and what did the in law, a certain dr. cooper, mean when he said he could relate still more despicable comments about mr. burr. hamilton was in a bind. he could scarcely deny that he had used the word dangerous, or that he meant anything other than that he considered burr dangerous, as he had been saying so in every election season. at mounting volume, until he became rather shrill on

jefferson said these were not new ideas.se were ideas that came from .asic books of public writing he said it reflected the american mind. i think both those things were true. , ciceroe read cicero laid out a clear understanding of natural law. eternal. ciceroderstanding of traveled through to the time leading to the american revolution. greatder hamilton, a rival of thomas jefferson and the political spectrum of that day, they were on opposite ins. when he was probably 20 years wrote the farmer refuted. he quoted william blackstone on the natural law, sounding exactly like cicero and said the rights of man are written as with a sunbeam with the hand of the sunbeam itself. and alexanderon hamilton both believed in that idea. martin luther king the head of the southern christian leadership conference is protesting the brutal segregation policy of birmingham . he writes his letter from birmingham jail. saint augustine and st. thomas quine is. he says we have a just -- we have a duty to obey just laws. then he says those people

[laughter] >> i would like to say a word about jackie kennedy and her role in th

jefferson in the 1800 election. elections worked a little differently then than they do now. hamilton was practicing law in new york, but he had served as secretary of the treasury in george washington's cabinet and had also served as inspector general of the u.s. army. hamilton was the second president general of the society of cincinnati, serving in the place of george washington who had died in 1797. he and aaron burr were both members of the new york society of the cincinnati. now, as far as dueling goes, hamilton had been involved in as many as 10 other duels, either as principal or a second, but there had been no fatalities. his second son, phillip, however, died in a duel thee years earlier on the very same ground where hamilton and burr would meet. burr on the other hand had dueled only once before, a bloodless affair, and he actually worked very hard to prevent a duel in 1797 between james monroe and of all people alexander hamilton. hamilton penned a poignant statement before the duel in which he professed

jefferson was unemotional with a vacant look in his eyes. he thought for those two excruciating months his father no longer loved him or that he was dead. jefferson had a cough, he had bruises, had he a rash all over his body. it's not clear whether jefferson will ever fully recover emotionally. and there are many more kids like jefferson who remain separate interested their parents. as members of congress, we can't sit on the sidelines as witnesses to government-sponsored child abuse. we must take concrete steps to end this tragedy and pass legislation to prevent it from ever happening again. this resolution doesn't do that. this resolution does not even acknowledge the plight of babies separate interested their mothers. nor does it make any recommendations for family reunification. this resolution is nothing more than a feeble aa tempt at political gamesmanship. the resolution shows the republican majority is unwilling to solve our immigration crisis just as they are unwilling to tackle rising health care costs, wage stagnation, impending

we know it when the well runs dry, as president thomas jefferson said. so, in conclusion, we must work together in california to fix our broken water system for the long-term benefits of america's food supply. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. fitzpatrick, for five minutes. mr. fitzpatrick: i rise to recognize a program in montgomery county. pennsylvania that brings together members of our community to celebrate artistic expression and economic opportunity. the landsdale mural arts program seeks to beautify areas by painting murals on buildings in need of rehabilitation. by improving the aesthetic of many of these beloved community landmarks, they hope to enhance the economic and social value of the services and goods that the buildings' ten gnats provide. started in 2013, the program has painted the walls of local business, chantilly floral, the underground, and perhaps the most profound, an american flag neural at

and jefferson davis is heavily mentioned in the index. well, this is sangers hill, where the fortifications were located to defend a railroad that was coming from atlanta, into atlanta. into macon. it went around sangers hill. and this was collected on the jefferson davis' birthday, so it must be yours now. [applause] >> oh. >> thank you for enlightening north macon about sangers help. we drive up every day, i grew up in that neighborhood, i never knew that there were confederate fortifications on sangers hill until i was told by some new -- -- somebody who read your book. >> thank you. >> if you want to visit leroy's home, it's the 1842 inn. you can go online. 1842inn.com. you can see it right there on college street and they welcome visitors. if you want to see it, they would love to -- >> he does talk about the slaves being conscripted to work on those fortifications. they also have to send slaves to atlanta -- not atlanta, sorry -- savannah to help bill the -- build the fortifications there as well and leroy is very upset because they

certainly thomas jefferson believed in white supremacy. >> cooper: you're saying this is >> prof.t's a ry slippery slope. >> hayter: i would say the difference, the critical difference between washington and jefferson and lee, and men like lee, is that while washington and jefferson were complicated individuals-- and by our standards, thought about ideas in an entirely anachronistic way, they also baked in the constitution the components that allowed people to dismantle the slave system. they built as much as they destroyed. i cannot say the same thing for the confederacy. >> cooper: professor hayter was appointed by richmond's mayor to the commission that's going to make recommendations on what should happen on monument avenue. >> hayter: there are 75 million people in the south who are the descendants of confederate soldiers. and who i am to tell them that they cannot celebrate their ancestor in a particular way? but i also have ancestors who were the victims of the slave system, and i see no reason why we can't find a usable way to tell two stories, or tell multiple stories. >>

thomas jefferson wrote the firsn draft but do you know who were the editors?ohn adams and ben franklin. here is what america's new citizens had to say today after hearing from the president himself. >> you pledged allegiance to america, returns love and loyalty to you. loyalty to you. >> that will be really hard. >> they are pushing the legal >> they are pushing the legal benefits. what is the abolished ice movement actually matter, some in the senate calling for evolution of the agency charged with enforcing law and order, and the radio host in washington, larry o'connor. >>u if you try to coordinate it is it wasn't going to happen. >> when in the world is going on? it started among socialists. and people trying to scale lady liberty. >> that was a terrible thing to do, cost money for law do, cost money for law enforcement, not in favor of that. >> call to abolish ice are placeholder. don't believe we should abolish ice, it isd good politis in the midterm. they have been separating children from parents. >> on the first part of these, to be honest, this is a

that plan would turn the most northern counties into a state called jefferson. supporters want their own state because they say rural and conservative interests are being ignored. >> we have no say in how our lives are conducted, no representation to say how our tax money is spent. >> reporter: jefferson was part of splitting it in six states launched in 2016 by silicon valley billionaire draper who says smaller states will give them more influence. it did not get enough signatures to make the ballot. so draper came back with a three state proposal which did get the needed significants but ran into legal roadblocks. now a proposal called new california is moving ahead. they have not drawn boundaries yet but envisioning one mostly rural and the other mostly urban. whatever happens -- >> the conversations about our identity and who we are and what kind of state we want to live in are very much alive and well and very powerful. >> the new california movement recently held what it called its first constitutional convention. while those for jefferson want to sue cali

did that intend for the people being -- >> well, it wasn't open to the public until jefferson, april of 1801, because he had traveled to europe, and you could go in the house and look at the paintings. so he started that. it's more difficult today -- frankly, one of the jobs that the white house historical association is to cross that barrier from the public to the house. and the association did everything possible to make people know all about the house. because security is, as we all know, is a way of life now. in in this century. i would say that's the status of it now. there are private tours but it's hard to get them. and if they are very quick. they do the best they can. it's always been open. and franklin pierce said, can i see your house? he said why not? it's your house. so people just began wandering through. and traditionally through the 19th century, they showed the east room only. then it became of more interest to the roosevelts. they had done it all over diplomatic furniture. and then in the kennedy administration, and eisenhower before, anyone wanted to see eisenhower

[laughter] i said okay maybe. don't you think that would be so there is a new gang in town david and david and carla with the smithsonian archives and we actually met and talk about this and what if they start off at the natural history museum? [laughter] or they slept there? so we try to figure this out. we need to figure out the macaroni and cheese. see mac you did mention david and we should talk about with a close working relationship the three of us have that is unlike and i have been there almost nine years and this is the first time the three institutions have really gotten serious about working together. >> and it's fun. and over to the library of congress we call that the good silver and we had one of the librarians that you know. >> it was the first printing of an opera. that i had never even heard of it. and he is a jazz fanatic. but then the curator was so good he knew opera and jazz. it was very nice. so there was a
