jefferson. , but it's not the usual biography. we begin with the birth. we had the high points and end with his death. what i am looking at is more about the person and i do use the clothing a lot in this study. i thought, ok, this is leading into it very well. this does work. the book, then, is about the jefferson image and how he went about putting this particular image together. as research often does, it began with questions. as a way of explaining, why was i then looking at his clothing? this being an early historian -- american historian, this is my second career. i began in theater art as a costume designer. through that i did a lot of study of art history, the history of clothing. i taught the history of dress in different university settings. this is what is the background for this interest in this approach of looking at this image. when i joined monticello, i began to look at reproductions of the extant jefferson portraits. i start looking, what is he wearing in this one? how is his gr

a pro-jefferson newspaper, a reference to jefferson appearing in the jefferson shoes and the jefferson hat. this was in support of a merrick and manufacture. if we elect them to -- of american manufacturer. if we elect him to the presidency, he will bring manufacturing to the american sure. the hat, i think it was the common ground hat -- round hat, kind of a wide, flat brim. it did begin to make its way into fashion. -- and,s a leveling of whether you were radical or not. it is interesting to see that trajectory. this is how he is being depicted. you see providential the text and. the constitution -- providential detection. the constitution will be saved. he does come into the present he -- the presidency in 1800. cutler, a congressman from massachusetts, he says that the rumors are abounding, and he says "what is to be the new order of things." first end of jefferson's year of office, king, a high federalist is writing about some of the changes. it appears that he is making himself familiar with the sovereign people. he has done away with the formal receptions that had been institute

jefferson won the white house and jefferson's party took both houses of congress from the federalists. in this lame-duck period adams and his secretary of state are trying to fill the federal judiciary with federalists. oliver ellsworth, the chief justice, said his health was bad so he was leaving the job and adams had to fill this post. the name he sent the senate was that of the first man to be chief justice of the united states, john j, the great spymaster, diplomat, federalist paper author, jay had been chief justice from 1789 to 1795 and left to be governor of new york. adams sent his name to the senate on the senate confirm test. adams got a letter from jay saying he wasn't going to get the job. and the federal judiciary lacks energy, waste and dignity. he wasn't going to be chief justice again. we have to imagine adams and john marshall sitting in adams's office, still unfinished white house, the exterior shell is done but the interior is a construction site. adams says to marshall, who shall i nominate now? marshall said, i don't know, sir. adams thought for a minute and said

jefferson won the white house and jefferson's party took both houses of congress from the federalists. so in this lame duck period, adams and his secretary of state are trying to fill the federal judiciary with federalists. and then adams gets a letter from the then-current chief quite, oliver ellsworth, ellsworth said he had gout, hi health was bad so he was leaving the job adams had to fill this post. so he -- the name he sent to the senate was the name of the first man to be the chief justice of the united states, john jay, great spymaster, diplomat, federalist, author. he was chief justice from 1789 to 1795 and then left to be governor of new york. so adams sent his name to the senate and the senate confirmed him. then adams got a hurt from jay, saying he wasn't going to take the job. jay said the federal judiciary lacks energy, weight and dignity. he wasn't going to be chief justice again. so, we have to imagine adams and john john marshall sitting in adams' office in the still unfished white house, the exterior shell is done but the interior is a construction site. and adams say

much more gracious than anything jefferson would have said or marshall said about jefferson. but the most gracious tribute of all came from a club in richmond, the quoits club where marshall had played his favorite game every saturday from may to october. and they ruled that since john marshall was irreplaceable, the quoits club should always have one fewer member. so thank you very much. [applause] >> rich: thank you rick, that was masterralist, bill buckley in terms of journalism what he valued most was the quality of the words. and this led him to make poor choices over the course of his editorship of "national review." he gave liberal writers like garry wills, and joan gideon their start by publishing them in the pages of the "national review" which annoyed the publisher bill rusher to no end. he had to remind bill we are a conservative magazine m. but enforcement he did not always have to choose between the quality of the words and ideological soundness, rick brookhiser exemplified what bill wanted in "national review" writer to be. eloquent, cultured, succinct and witty

jefferson is one of the most potent mostly jefferson does this in letters to friends complaining about marshall. the objection is that the constitutional questions should not be left in the hands of the body that is irresponsible to the people. justices of the supreme court are picked by the people because they are nominated by the president and confirmepresidente senate and we elect the president and the senate so we have a role in picking them. they never have to stand before popular judgment again into this violated how the democracy should work so in addition to simply abusing marshall, he tried to think of alternative ways to agitate the constitutional questions and the idea is whenever there was such a question we should call on other constitutional conventions. he suggested this in a letter to james madison as he so often did during cold water he said this would be tardy, troublesome to have an ongoing series of convention. another was senator richard johnson most famous for having told tecumseh in the war of 1812 mps publicly secon1812and he's t famous for his campaign song. bu

cousin once removed he detest him and thomas jefferson hates them in return he couldn't hate many jefferson hated a number but jefferson was high on his list he would twist anything to predetermine legal conclusion jefferson warned joseph story before he got on the court you must never give a direct answer to any question that marshall asks you if he asks me if the sad were shining i would say i don't know sir i cannot tell. marshall felt jefferson was a demagogue talked about letting congress run things but secretly directing it behind the scenes and riding the waves of populist to serve his own popularity and also thought that jefferson was disloyal secretary of state serving george washington form policy on one hand while undermining them with another. so march 18 oh one the one cousin the new chief justice swears in the other cousin , the new president. now marshall comes onto a court there were only six in those days they are all federalist all appointed by washington or adams but only 11 years after jefferson's administration and james madison the balance of support has changed from t

they were close friends as young men when jefferson moved, when jefferson went home to america, he and john quincy adams was just a boy then sorry. when jefferson replaced adams in paris as sort of an ambassador to france, adams then moved to london. while they were in paris, jefferson had lost his wife two years earlier, was quite lonely for his own daughter and begin taking the adams boy, john quincy adams, to various museums and things, art shows and things like that, and just doing tourist things within and grew very close to the boy. when they moved to london, jefferson sent john and abigail adams really pleasant letter saying how much he missed them how they become assam in paris. that's how close they were before they got involved in politics. once they were involved in politics, jefferson of course was adams vice president went adams was elected president. by then that can't separate ways lyrically. adams think a federalist and jefferson think of republican which in those days took far to the left where the adams, the federalists were far to the right. in the 1900 election, jef

they were close friends when jefferson moved, when jefferson went home to america. he and john quincy adams -- i'm sorry, i got the dates mixed up. when jefferson replaced adams in paris as ambassador to france adam's been moved to london. while they were in paris jefferson had lost his wife two years earlier. he began taking john quincy adams to various museums and art shows and things like that doing things with him and they were very close. when they moved to london jefferson and sent john and abigail adams a poignant letter saying he missed them. that's how close they were before they got involved in politics. once they were involved in politics jefferson was adams vice president when he was elected president. by the end they had gone separate ways politically adams been a federalist and jefferson being a republican which in those days were far to the left whereas adams, the federalists were far to the right. in the 1900 election jefferson the won the presidency. by then they were bitter political enemies and had fallen apart in terms of their personal lives. fl

if jefferson alone was in charge we would've ended up in an anarchy.hamilton were in charge we would've ended up in an autocracy. in the same way there's checks and balances allegedly built into, really built into the constitution, checks and balances built into the generation and they could argue. the greatest example of this is the final correspondence between adams and jefferson between 1812 and 1826, the north and south poles of the american revolution. begin by saying you and i ought not to duck into we've explained ourselves to each other. so there's a model back there -- ought not to die -- the founders went back, i'm going back to jefferson, madison, hamilton -- not hamilton. i know, i should do hamilton would be commercial advantage. my granddaughter said why not? washington, who is the of the person i -- jefferson, adams, madison in washington. historians are not supposed to do this, okay? historians are not supposed to subconsciously pose questions of the past formed in the present. it's called presentism. that's a sin. everybody is doing it

if we saw a monument to jefferson, would you be in favor of taking them down? >> of jefferson, no. i think jefferson is too much an integral part of the united states. i understand taking down monuments of other people. this has to be done on a case-by-case basis. you begin to lie to yourself in some way if you take out people who were integral to the nation's founding and who also have ideas or had ideas we still revere. the declaration, the words of the declaration are important and we've used that to be a part, as we said before, as an american creed. what you do is you talk about his life in a real way. you talk about the good points, the bad points, and he's perfect in a lot of ways because he embodies the american dilemma. you can talk about race, slavery, politics, gender, all of those things through this man, good things and bad things. i can't think of anybody else that fits that bill. >> you were connected to charlottesville throughout your career. the white supremacists in charlottesville marched toward jefferson's statue. what was the significance of that? >> the signif

here is a preview. >> one senator as soon as jefferson returns to new york, he makes the observation that he had been long enough abroad to catch the tone of european folly and he also makes the comment that his clothes looked too small for him, it makes me think the jefferson is wearing still the very trim cut french codes. he just arrived in new york and has not had time to get any made. but how much of the frenchman did he maintain? i also found a quote from a visitor to monticello very late in jefferson's life when he is in retirement there. and this gentleman who it gone to see the stage, he remarked that his gestures and of his gestures and body language, he says they are artificial. he shrugs his shoulders when talking, has very much of the frenchman about him. surprising there were little mannerisms the jefferson incorporated and had for the rest of his life. but definitely people can see that yes, he was a francophile. gayou can hear more from here in american history tv. next on the presidency, iowa state university hosted a panel discussion on watergate's lessons and its i

i mean, jefferson davis did set up a government. it's hard for me to pretend that they were not real. that what they had wasn't a real thing and i think congress -- they should have been governed as territories, and i think they should have kept the military rule over them a lot longer than they did to actually reconstruct them. so i understand the legal argument about it. but practically, realistically, they set up their own government. and they stopped participating, and they went their own separate way for a time period. >> yeah, right here in the third row. what was basically the base of support was for johnson? after all he was regarded as a traitor by the southern diehards and as an unreliable president by the northern abolitionists. annette: well before, you know -- you mean while he's president? while he's president, he didn't have that much support. i mean, he gets to be president because lincoln gets killed. and at this point, he begins to -- he wants to try to make a base of these conservatives i talked about by being len

adams was hard-nosed, a realist, and jefferson was given to poetry.i think if you combine those, you have something special that gets at the reality is the reality has that grit to it. at the same time, nevertheless, somehow this country has done these remarkable things by reaching, by striving for -- in my last book about the american revolution, i said the american revolution never ended because it was a promise of freedom that was remarkably achieved in a certain respect. but it was astoundingly short -- in its shortcomings because as professor medford said, it did not pertain to blacks, it did not pertain to women, to various minorities, religious groups. and yet, the playing out of american history since that time has been continuing to fight the american revolution right down to, i would say, the me too movement. that is women saying, wait, that whole promise, how are we possibly supposed to be treated equally in the workplace when this is what we have had to deal with? prof. brinkley: i reviewed that gordon wood book for the boston globe. every

there were talking about jefferson's draft. the declaration of independence versus what eventually happens. he charges the king with having forced them the slade trade. there are people in congress who feel tender about that. especially folks from georgia don't really want that in the declaration of independence. they take that stuff out. what jefferson said is it is not just southerners who wanted that removed. it is northerners. why? the sea merchants making so much money on the trade. when we think about it as a southern institution, it was a northern is touche, too in particular through these merchants and vessels. it existed in puritan new england. these maps go on and on. you can see -- let me give you a sense -- there are a lot of maps. i want to give you a sense of the gradual ordering. going back to genesis, what you have is void and then order. here's the introductory map. the first map. the second map. a series of other maps. this gradual development of order out of chaos. 1789, the constitution. one of the notable f
