my question concerns thomas jefferson. did he continue his interest in making gunpowder after his presidency, when he left the government, or did he do that at secretary of state or president? maj. lambert: he did throughout his life. thomas jefferson remained close to the dupont family throughout his entire life. pierre was a correspondent of his, there were several dozen letters between him and pierre discussing saltpeter manufacturing. he had an interesting relationship with pierre's son. part of the reason i say interesting is because going to thomas jefferson's papers, i get this feeling that pierre is trying to bribe him. there are so many points where he is attempting to send jefferson new gunpowder recipes. thomas jefferson keeps complaining he hasn't received a bill for all of the things he has received. the dupont's maintain a sideline as traders with france during this time period during the early 1800s. they also provide thomas jefferson a lot of his wine cellar. the agents in france are doing a lot of his purc

, franklin, sherman, livingston, and jefferson. he was able to write it, not because he was a rising young politician of virginia, which he was. he was 33, so was jesus, when i turned 304i was very depressed. was very turned 34 i depressed. he was able to write it because he was part of a transatlantic conversation about what had been unfolding in the four centuries heading to philadelphia. what had been going on? first and foremost, johan gutenberg and the introduction of movable type may literacy and democracy and reformation more possible. we still live in a world that gutenberg helped to create. world of the protestant reformation's, the translation of the sacred scripture into the neck killer. the rise of the bourgeoisie -- into vernacular, the rise of the bourgeoisie, the scottish moral enlightenment, the entire world had been seen as vertical, where popes, princes, prelates, and kings, by an accident of birth or incident of election had reflexive and automatic authority over all of us. that was the world before the 18th cent

well, why not is what jefferson was talking about. why not is, that is not reason. that is tribalism, and a kind of passion. is thinking, with your gut, and not your brain. and, america, when we are actually doing this right, which we do not always do, obviously, is that we give the brain a chance, we at least let them get in the ring and slug it out. that is a very uncomfortable image, i just offer you. candor, we have to be honest about these kinds of things, so the great architect of this philosophy, of this insight is winston churchill. and, churchill, we all think of churchill, of course, is the great figure, of may 1940,, i felt as if our walk with destiny, and our life had been in preparation for this hour, this trial, i wish her i should not fail, is what you say on 10 may, 1940 when he left the palace, after finally, at the age of 65, after being in the house, since 1900, he finally reaches the pinnacle. churchill was a mixed bag, as roosevelt once said, when winston is right, but when he is wrong, my god. the other story, which is, the only thing you're go

it leads to another thomas jefferson story. as you know, thomas jefferson was perpetually in debt. but one of the big sidelines he attempted was setting up his own salt peter refinery so he could begin making gun powder. there were several caves that were located near monticello in virginia. he partnered with the salt peter prospecter named will crutsdzers and sent out teams of guys around to see if there were any resources. they didn't find very much in the way of salt peter that was actually worth exploiting to make money off but the weirdest thing was they kept going into these caves and finding these strange giant bones preserved. but these bones were unlike anything else we had ever seen. they had massive claws and huge teeth and other weird features that didn't look like any known animal. they began to take these bones back and to show them to him and ask what do you think this is? thomas jefferson corresponded with a number of his friends in philadelphia and they started to decide that these bones looked like they came from some sort of a giant sloth. i know it's crazy. like

the researcher said find something jefferson said. you can always count on jefferson. he comes back and says jefferson said "the american presidency is a glorious burden." i remember calling the secretary of the smithsonian saying we got the title. at 10:00 that night, the kid calls me and says i screwed up, jefferson did not say that. [laughter] mr. bunch: and so, he is on the phone crying, i am crying. [laughter] bunch: and so i decided that we would go with it, but we would tell the truth. but i think the notion of the burden of being president was much like the burden of being a museum director, but it was also glorious. because the challenge to be able to do something that matters, that gets to shape the way a country views itself, that is what a good president does, that is what a good leader does. mr. grumet: all of us have mentors in our lives who have had a unique impact on the trajectory of our careers and who we are. are there some people you would like to reflect on that you have been led, taught, shaped by? mr. bunch: everybody who told me i could not do s

for example, "alexander hamilton" ironically supporting jefferson and jefferson turning out to be a prettytrong president. monroe leading from behind with john quincy adams and then of course link and then later grover cleveland. also, not to forget grant during the reconstruction. seems like we had strong presidents in the 19th century and so i think we had those focal points there. then the question would be, hasn't there been a tense sense lyndon johnson and since bush to recover strengths for the legislature? >> ten to the last part, i fully expected after the election and inauguration of donald trump, republicans in congress holding majorities in both houses would reassert the congressional prerogatives. but, they did not. they did not in part because president trump remained popular among the people who elected him. also, the leaders just got out of the habit, they did not know how to lead and organize. executives have an advantage if they get used to things. in the 19th century, congress would write the budget for the united states. the 20th century that fell by the wayside in congr

at the end of the procession the celebration concluded with the burning and burial of jefferson davis in the nearby cemetery. you can imagine how that went over. in hampton celebrations centered around this oak tree that virginia tried to kill when it built i-64 and hampton university was able to save it called emancipation oak. and the tree was used almost as a classroom by norfolk native named mary peak who was teaching people how to read and write and became the first person who was hired by the american missionary association to begin teaching the contrabands of fort monroe. some immediate good came out of the proclamation. it improved the military's treatment of blacks because the government established the bureau of negro affairs in the department. the proclamation effected the military enlistment machinery. the office of the general established the bureau of colored troops to recruit african americans into segregated units but they also recruited african american men to serve in the navy. recruitment posts were circulated calling for the enlistment of black soldiers. the emanci

you mentioned jefferson, no doubt that jefferson is famously feuding with his distant cousin, marshall. i don't like each other, in fact, they hate each other. marshall was issuing his rulings when jefferson was president and a jefferson purposely nominates william johnson from south carolina to the supreme court in 1804 in order to stand up against marshall. and johnson does it doesn't. he is on the court for many years with marshall. jefferson becomes so frustrated with him and he ends up writing letters to him and says, why haven't you been challenging marshall all this time? so absolutely, jefferson certainly, andrew jackson, there is, you know, tension there. as we said, and i didn't highlight it earlier and i you think about that moment in 1861 when roger tawney's swearing in abraham lincoln, you have this symbol of the old proslavery pro-southern constitutional order, 84-years-old, he probably knows that his days are numbered and here he is swearing in this younger upstarts come i think lincoln was 51-years-old at the time, a frontier lawyer from illinois and he represents this

also not only henry clay but, thomas jefferson. with henry clay he was the person that abraham lincoln adored. i feel there is a link that goes all the way back to the declaration of independence all the way through abraham lincoln. how do you feel about that? >> it is true, thomas jefferson and henry clay both studied at george with and they both considered henry clay to be a political figure. lincoln was born in kentucky. henry clay made his reputation in kentucky. i think in lincoln there is very much a henry clay believe that we need to compromise. that, we cannot simply impose our own moral views on the country. that the most important thing, henry clay believed it is to hold the union together. if the union can stay together, america will work past whatever

here's former congressman jefferson. judge ellis handled him for financial crimes, not violence, a 13-year sentence over corruption. it was at the time the longest sentence ever for a congressman. so when you look at this argument that maybe financial crimes are not sentenced to the max, that wasn't true there for judge ellis and not true around the country. here's mayor kilpatrick. he was sentenced to 28 years, the max. it was a corruption case. his coconspirator got 21 years a little under the 28-year maximum. unlike paul manafort, mayor k kilpatrick also talked to the court. he said he really, really, really messed up and took responsibility for all his actions. nyu's melissa murray is here. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> let's get into it. because judge ellis is more critical of prosecutors and i want to note that to be accurate. but this was a record-breaking sentence for jefferson in his courtroom. mr. kilpatrick we showed there also didn't live a blameless life. but these were all african-ameri

a party of jefferson favored france and the party of hamilton favor britain.ies back then but they became settled. while what happened? president, george washington wanted to remain neutral. he told his cabinet, we are neutral, we are not getting involved in this. it really serves in many respects as as a spy for the british, to inform the british and what the president of the united states was thinking on his diplomatic plans. he undermined the secretary of state, thomas jefferson, who decided to resign he was so furious about it. and, if they gave one to hamilton, they might as well give one to trump. >> first of all, we've known each other for so many years. this is why we call you the great one. the history lesson is really important. donna care. you talk about america being of post-constitutional. it's great to have this perspective and it's taken a long time to peel back the layers of this onion. you've got loretta lynch on tarmac. you we are taking orders from, you are right, obama's doj. and now we have the nellie ohr issue. we know hillary's investiga

after jefferson davis imposed martial law on richmond in early march of 1862, a measure that led to the arrest of dozens of suspected unionists, van lew could no longer visit union prisoners. but she did not stand down. remarkably, under her leadership, an interracial spy network known as the richmond underground took shape and actually stepped up its efforts on behalf of union prisoners and unionist civilians seeking to flee the confederacy and find refuge in the north. unionists, this band she gathered around her in the so-called underground. they worked with van lew to provide escape from the confederacy, skate houses -- safehouses, disguises and protections. the mansion on churchill provided a safe haven for fugitives on his perilous journey behind confederate lines. in the winter of 1863, 1864, this double life that van lew was leading became considerably more risky after she was enlisted formally by general federal butler into the secret service. they got wind of what was happening in richmond and established contact with van lew and her band. she isis point, after formally a spy,
