jefferson never gave her, jefferson never actually care for freedom papers but he did pay for stagecoach fair to philadelphia and he did give her $50 for her expenses. clearly he facilitated her departure, but she was still a slave at law until the 13th amendment was passed in 1865. that was what it took to formally free her. and so protecting her identity was what she needed to do to pass as a freeborn white person, which again is somewhat of a different strategy than ona judge did and indie book me then to really discuss this whole phenomenon of passing both in the 19th century during the course of slavery and even today one researcher estimate as much as 30,000 people a year crossed the colorblind from black to white. >> wow. wow. you know, i'm interested in this idea of the modern things we struggle with that are legacies from slavery. i've always felt sort of this idea, and had a black criminality, for example, came out of the need to find a reason to oppress black people and forced them into free labor. when you look at the work you have done about that time about what ona went thr

this was an experiment for jefferson. this plantation street was very unique in the larger context of virginia plan takes. he wanted it to be an experiment as a way to reform slavery and he wanted to do that by imparting trade to enslave people. rather than just being field labororers, they could come up here and learn a skill, blacksmithing, carpentry, house joining. these are a few of the many skills. and jefferson considered this an improvement over being out in the fields with wheat or tobacco or the other crops. if you come here and you know that jefferson is the author of the declaration, the words, all men created equal, he owned 600 slaves, he looks pretty bad. but in jefferson's mind, he wasn't a hypocrite because he believed he was making changes to the institution of slavery that would pave the way to and litigation. he is trying to reform it and alleviate material conditions and he's changing housing and he that this is a gradual will result in emancipation. we know more about monticello than any other plantat

jefferson is in france.adams in england and he said i had a great conversation with the ambassador of tripoli. you've got to come over here. you are a better writer. let's locked this deal up. by the time they lock it up, they realize they're charging three times what everyone else is being charged. they believe like the rest of europe, that this is the hands of britain behind them. they're saying charge these guys to the health, they're not going to be able to pay.let's start taking their ships and destroying their economy before they get their feet underneath them. by the time - - get into office, they end up having ambassadors there. one of them wind up held his prisoner so he just left. tripoli would topchop down your flagpole.and they couldn't do it. but we try to rationalize. we were late on everything. it made it extremely stressful for the ambassadors but when jefferson took over, he said all payments stopped. let's see what happens. they declared war. jefferson goes, now i've got no choice. i've got

and jefferson split. said you can't fight them and let you want to fight him forever. for jefferson he said you can't pay for peace. he sensed that the attacks would start and the price would only go up. in this case jefferson was 100% correct. the united states with kate to the pirates, borrowing money that would cause them up to 20% of the national budget, get some of the attacks continue. witt our first president took office you continue to make the payments but he was would also commissioned the building of ships including this very welcome the uss constitution. what was it like? copper bottoms, solid oak sides. they were fast, strong and it would build to fight. it wouldn't be ready for the washington administration. adams would choose not to use them during his years in office for jefferson he knew exactly what he was going to do. he was going to take on the barbary nation and the first want to declare war on us, cripple them. without congressional approval all thomas jefferson snake would be permit

jefferson street phase two. jefferson street was conceived 2008 to 2010 through a public planning process and it was divided into two phases based on budget. the first was built just in time for the americas cup in 2013 for about $5 million the second phase is three blocks as opposed to the first being two blocks and has the f line track running through it. jefferson street is bound by hyde street on its west end and powell street on its east end. and it is the main street of fishermen's wharf. it objectives are really quite simple, here to provide safety for all users. it's to improve the experience of those visiting fishermen's wharf and to increase return visits to fishermen's wharf. it does not lean to the right like this photo indicates a little bit, but it could be improved, and that's why we're doing it. it's an auto-dominated street, there are conflicts. petty cabs are often spotted in the streetcar line and there are safety issues there. the sidewalks are narrow. it has its ills. it's not keeping up wit

i want to go back to jefferson. jefferson makes an interesting quote to describe the process. if you couldn't pay attention to this metaphor for moment, i will do my best, we will pretend it is one of in front of me. slavery says this is my wolf, i will not tell you if you is facing this way or that way. jefferson says slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears. if slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears, what danger does this present if you are jefferson? who is a slaveholder? you have the wolf by the ears and you keep holding them, what is the danger? >> eventually, it will turn on to you. professor harris: if you grab the wolf by the ears, it could turn on you. i could get bitten. what happens if i let go of the ears, what does the wolf it do? it could run away. it could turn around and bite. we have two possibilities. it could buy to me or run away. jefferson says slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears. what do you think he meant by that with respect to this argument? >> they cut either turn on them or runway and go to a different area of land, but most likely -- an

and, i will put my image up with jefferson. the first kind of reform that comes out of the american revolution is that americans, or are talking about what the world will look like one day if slavery has ended. one of the first points of anti-slavery reform that americans will look at is called a gradualist approach. what do you suppose -- you can see the definition on the powerpoint, americans accept notions of black inferiority and attempts to end slavery gradually by purchasing their freedom. why do you think this is controversial? purchase the freedom of slaves and colonize them in africa, why would that be controversial? what would've the life look like going back to liberia, one of the places in africa, what would life look like if you are an african-american here and going back to an unknown country? >> misplaced and they do not have any money being a slave and all. almost worst in some aspects. professor harris: very good. where are they going to live? who is going to feed them? >> it is as dangerous as they were before

it only said it had to be a jefferson male. there was lots of oral history and her own sons who made it very clear that jefferson was their father. we chose to elevate madison's words, which turned out to be poetic and use only his words about his mother inside that room. >> i wanted to mention the fact that i was living in charlottesville when the thomas jefferson foundation changed its perspective on sally hemming and i was very includfluenced by th. i was hoping at the nixon library, the tapes would be the dna and that what would happen because the private library had a watergate exhibit. which was a fantasy. it made richard nixon out to be the victim of an effort by democrats to overturn the verdict of the 1972 election. and it was essential for the credibility of this institution that it have a real watergate exhibit. it was also essential for the credibility of the national archives. and i would argue, it was a very important thing for public history throughout the country, that this be possible in a federal space. the qu

you know about jefferson, the more complicated his legacy is. when we talk about the louisiana purchase and the phrase "go did, young man," what jefferson intend the space that he purchased with the stroke of a pen, almost by accident, what did he think it should look like? i think what he intended it to be -- and i wrote a book called "the women jefferson loved," and the joke is oh, i bet there are that sorthem, ha-ha, of thing, but jefferson had a very clear picture of what he thought the ideal society should look like, and it was pretty and virginia in the 18th early 19th centuries. that is what he thought it should be. thought it should be little, free standing patriarchal households from sea to shining sea -- farms, plantations. about the ideas of all men being created equal west,e young man of "go young man" is a man who is white, landowning, property owning, but it holds a whole set of intimate relationships, political relationships that depend on the idea of these freestanding, freehold where these men exercise their and inty on behalf o

and jefferson and the supporters say it you can.ngs that the constitution say that you can't do, you open up a path up to ultimate disaster. the issue is still not dead today. hamilton's position is that there are implied powers if the constitution doesn't say that you can't do it, and it is for the general welfare, you can do it. and really, if hamilton had not won that argument, whatever your political views are, if hamilton had not, the constitution never could have survived, because this is going to allow it to be shape and molded to a certain degree. so he is certainly influenced by great britain in a way that people like jefferson who despise great britain make him that -- he is a monarchist. and he is on the right wing of the political spectrum. another thing -- one reason that hamilton is not as popular today is that his view of the common man is pretty negative. you set up a government relying on the virtue of ordinary people, you are in trouble. that is his view. well, democracy hails the ordinary people. and so jefferson

and -- i will put my image up here i guess with jefferson. the first kind of reform that comes out of the american revolution is that americans, more americans, these reformers are talking about what the world , will look like one day, the country if slavery has ended. ,and one of the first points of anti-slavery reform that americans are going to look at is something called a gradualist approach. what do you suppose -- you can see the definition here on the powerpoint. it says americans accept notions of black informality and attempts to end slavery gradually by purchasing their freedom and colonizing them in africa. why do you guys why do you think , this is controversial? you are going to purchase the freedom of slaves, and you are going to colonize them in africa. what would -- why would that be controversial? what would life look like going back to liberia, one of the places in africa, what would life look like if you are an african-american here and going back to an unknown country? >> misplaced, and they don't have any money, being a s

her own son made it clear that jefferson was their father. so we chose to elevate madison's words which turned out to be poetic, and use only his words about his mother inside of that roof. >> i wanted to mention that i was living in charlottesville when the perspective was changed. i was very influenced by that. i was hoping that at the nixon library the tapes would be the dna and what would happen, because the private library had a watergate exhibit which was a fanta fantasy. it made richard nixon to be a victim of democrats to overturn the verdict of the 1972 election. it was essential to have a real watergate exhibit and it was essential for the archives and it was a very important thing for public history throughout the country that this be possible in a federal space. but the question was what's the dna going to be? and i can't tell you how much respect i have for the way in which the foundation finally turned. it was quite bitter and mean to scholars like annette gordon reid beforehand. so i decided he would do an oral history program

has been really helpful on the jefferson street phase two project. they actually wrote the grant that the city was awarded. >> great. great. that's great to hear. >> commissioner gilman? >> hi, troy. i just wanted to thank you so much for this report, and i wanted to say i was really, really pleased to see a strategy to bring north beach past bay. as someone who lives in the district, i know it's hard to get there for the locals. make it more a place of locals where folks in the neighborhood want to go. there's a lot of things absent in the neighborhood, i know you're aware of that from a neighborhood serving perspective. on the tiller street side and just on a more strategy to make it more of a destination for individuals who live there? i really appreciate that, and i also appreciate some of the lighting and landscaping work done. jefferson street has had a marked improvement. so thank you for the support. it was really helpful. >> thank you. >> troy, thank you so much for this report. yes, you do talk fast, and it was a little hard to pick up. >>

jefferson has a very different approach in dealing with people.intment as secretary of the treasurer, hamilton becomes the second most important man in the united states of america. critics believe he became the most important man in america because there is a view that still permeates that, basically, president washington was under hamilton's control. no matter how often it said, no matter how commonly it is written, it is not right. one of the things i am most convinced about in my study of washington is that this is a misinterpretation of washington. ron is on target when he says hamilton gained in comparable power under washington because the president approved of the agenda he promoted with such tireless brilliance. jefferson was wrong when he charged that hamilton manipulated the president. washington is nobody's puppet. he can be soft-spoken, gentle and kind, and if it is his province, he will not let anyone do it. as he influenced by hamilton? unbelievably so. why? because hamilton and he basically see things the same way. whether you like

jefferson opposes it. jefferson comes to power in 1800, the first banks charter expires, but one year later, a war iraq with britain. a very expensive war -- a war erupts with britain, a very extensive war. thomas jefferson charters a second bank of the united states and this bank, much like the first, also will have a 20-year charter. this charter will run out in 1836 and presumably, congress and the president, in good faith, will renew the charter. so there you have it. after the bank is chartered, you will recall from the last lecture, the panic in 1819 explodes. this massive bubble and western land speculation caused largely by the bank and the new bank currency. the country recovers from the panic of 1819 fairly quickly, so the second bank of the united states survives that panic and goes into the 1820's with very little opposition. most americans by the mid-1820's have come to accept the bank, the market revolution is fully underway. it is not just the economy that is changing. it is the political ar

bisexual that the time say how is the book about george jefferson going? [laughter] i said sherman helmsley is an important figure blood pressure we need a full biography. and i had the honor speaking at mrs. bush's funeral a few months ago because this is the scene of this is what she had in mind with humility. and she said it's you and that is hard to argue with. and then to use existentialism as a macro. way to go. [laughter] and then i said yes ma'am this is the way the world are supposed to work. they are supposed to admire you. and then to bring back john grisham's latest. [laughter] so i signed it. and that there is a forged copy of the runaway jury but so that was a saturday like today so i left the book festival.on the plane and whitey my biography at the time and flew to maine. and for some reason that was almost unheard of because that view of life was one long reunion mixer. when he would be more interested in the oak ridge boys other than the pope. mrs. bush looked across the table i am expecting motherly reassurance. she said how do you think

is ask thomas jefferson about as low as it has been in about a century. it is time to buy that stock. facts ofot about the this story, it is about our needs at any given time, and what we want to see when we look at the past. curious how the panel seems to be talking about lin-manuel miranda, and paying no attention at all to chernow, who wrote the book. he said i listened to the first song and said it is very accurate. why is no one taking on ron chernow? >> that person couldn't be here tonight. we have that essay in the book. there is someone who looks at the challenges, inaccuracies in the play, stemming directly from ron chernow's treatment. he has some real critiques about the ron chernow book. that is something that does get talked about. i think the ron chernow book does a lot of things well, and other things it does not as well. one of the key things that gets lost in both ron chernow and the play is one of alexander hamilton's most important accomplishments is something that is really not very democratic. when he talks about needing to finance th

jefferson davis tapped her to be the personal emissary to europe. asked a civil war historian why davis would send a woman. was this an act of desperation on his part? it was a stroke of genius, he replied. not only would davis not have worried sending a woman to europe on a diplomatic mission, but he was convinced that this particular woman was the best person for the job because of her imprisonment in the prison -- invoking sympathy abroad. no one knew what rose did in europe because she drowned coming home. the ship that was bringing her into wilmington, which was the last open port in the confederacy ran aground as it entered the cape fear river, and rose who spent almost a year in prison, demanded to be taken ashore. as her life boat was lowered into the water, a wave hit it broadside, knocking everybody overboard. the cree swam back to the ship, but rose had tied the $2,000 in gold coins that she raised for the confederate army in a pouch around her neck and her body washed up on-shore the next morning at dawn. it was found by confederate sold

jefferson rejects any attempts to distinguish between facts and opinions. he says, because the natural rights of conscience are individual, and each individual must decide for him or herself what is true and what is false, to empower a judge or a government official or a 27-year-old lawyer at facebook to decide what is true and what is false would be anathema to our inail yelienable rights of conscience. so i reject proposal business some that facebook should decide what is true and what is false and label the false stuff. that is up to citizens to decide for themselves. this is not rejecting the enlightenment faith in facts. i mean, we must, as a society, converge around the idea that there is a distinction between truth and falsehood, but ultimately, deciding what falls on which side is up to each of us as individuals. that also doesn't mean that, you know, facebook can't identify accounts that are created by bots intentionally to create falsehood and downplay them and something like that. if it's clear that stuff -- that the intentional falsehoods are be

thomas jefferson's house, there were slaves in the room serving the dinner. it erases the actuality experiences that people of color have found. it is not a different narrative to what many americans learn about the genius of the nation and its founders. in short, i think it is still offering a vision of the nation that many may think cultivate a positive identity and many folks feel comfortable endorsing it. but, at the same time, i think it is asking white americans to expand the circle of who fully belongs, to acknowledge blacks and latinos have as much ownership of the nation and right to tell its story as we do. -- as whites do. one of the things i love about this book is we highlight the context. we do not all agree. we can read the casting of actors of color as founding fathers as an empty trick, or asking blacks and latinos to sacrifice their history for the sake of national unity. to say that to belong long, you have to celebrate this vision. i think it is important to knowledge that this musical portrays people of color as powerful and rightful narr

i have not been interested in an election since 1800 when jefferson won. i have heard that the argument between democrats and republicans tends to be over the distribution of the mix between public and private. i do not know anyone except some libertarians who want to abolish social security. even conservative republicans are not going to abolish it. see you accept certain social programs. welfare for the poor and disabled who cannot work. at arguments between liberal and conservative tend to be over the mix. do you have more private, like we are seeing now? more private business incentives. less regulation, fewer social programs emphasizing more the church, charity, and family? or do you have more government, higher taxes, more social programs? that tends to be the argument in america between left and right. so you do not have the extremes you have in european countries, where you actually have communist parties in italy. they elect people to the parliament in italy. you have a communist party that wants to nationalize everything, and then you have the fa

jefferson's university is celebrating our 200th anniversary next year. i have known many university presidents. i have been here 35 years. i know everyone. they are all great. but, the sign of a great university president is the whole organization prospers. universities are ranked. in qualities of learning, in benefaction, people want to give you money. do you know who gets the most money? harvard. they do not need any more money. because they have the high rankings and everyone wants to give to harvard and have a bench named after them. the idea is when something is good, people pour money into it and the way it gets good is a leader who presents it well, dilts up its strength -- builds up its strength and you do not resent the fact that they had made $5 billion this year and several large houses and a yacht. so that is what he means by you would devise a society that maximizes the minimum, but to have a maximum that means you allow a lot of inequality. this is largely done by the private market. very talented leaders are rare. i do not know why. look a

so that was part of the breakdown of the jefferson davis scheme. there never is a willingness to risk together to accomplish a common goal. they've all got separate goals, which they achieved in their own personal ways, but this is a case where the sum of the parts does not come anywhere near a totality, that is sufficient enough to cause problems for sherman on the march to the sea. come to the end of our time tonight. it's great to have you here at the pritzker library.

and then also on the horizon is jefferson street phase two. shortly after this report was published in april, the city was awarded a $7 million grant from the state that has now been matched by city departments and -- by the city, sorry, and the city departments are now gearing up for construction that is expected to start in 2019. we also looked at private investments and how that can affect the public realm and the potential for new retail offerings. two of the projects in this slide have actually already come to fruition, beach street property and the hotel zephyr. we had visitors, local groups, stakeholders shared what they most like about the wharf, which includes the waterfront location, its walkability and people watching, the wonderful variety seafoods, restaurant, attractions, particularcally crab and chowder calls. it is a working waterfront with strong ties to the fishing industry. issues that they collected they feel the district should address are the wharf's lack of established night life, poor lighting in places and lack suffici

and jefferson did say i'd rather live in a world with newspaper and no government than government and no newspapers. what he was saying was he wanted to live in a raucous culture where we had a clamor of ideas and voices that would ultimately come to the right decision. >> but that was before he was president, right? and then after he was -- >> oh, yeah. president kennedy cancelled the herald tribune subscription. i know we're all supposed to think the presidents love the press, but they tend to do so before they're president and after. tim mcbride was here and he was president senior bush's close personal aide. in george h.w. bush's diary, it's a tape recorded diary like listening to dana carvey. mcbride screwed it up. no. dana once said the key to doing george h.w. bush's voice was mr. rogers trying to be john wayne. but when i was listening to the diary, he would be bellyaching about the press in very specific terms. like, maureen dowd did this, judy woodruff did that, sam donaldson did this. i was beginning to worry as president, the man who won the cold war had watched tv all day

when jefferson davis comes from ichmond. atlanta has just fallen. it's a crisis in that part of the confederacy and jefferson davis has come to set things right. let me give you an interesting context that is worth pointing here. office, a portion in as far as i can find out, abraham lincoln never gets much farther west than pittsburgh. yet three times, jefferson davis leaves richmond and goes to the western front to try to straighten things out. and davis makes a whole series of moves designed to meet the possibility of sherman marching to the sea. first of all, he and john d. hood come up with a pretty good game plan. hood, at this point, his army is down to about 30,000 men. he is south of atlanta. sherman is relying on a single railroad kleine from chattanooga to bring him supplies to atlanta. hood's role is to swing around and start cutting that line, force sherman to come after him. the idea is he will bob and weave and jab and maybe catch portions of sherman's army off by itself, but davis does not stop there. he then can't conjure up a 60,00
