i think jefferson repeats it. i'm familiar with it through jefferson. he sends his kids, not his kids but to columbia rather than to william & mary. he becomes a trojan horse in the middle of virginia in some sense. that is that. the other thing is the west. you know, i think john was mentioning that first farewell address the circular letter of 1783, that is his most lyrical statement of all-time in terms of his vision for the republic. you can see it implied in the farewell address but you would have to know about it beforehand. that is, america's future is not with europe but to the west. lafayette says, come with me and we will do a grand tour. we will do paris, rome, we will do berlin. i don't think we'll do london. [laughs] he says, now, you come with me we will do detroit, we will do new orleans, we will do savannah. that is the future. that is the future out there. as a young man in the seven years war, he knows about what that is out there more than most other political leaders at the time. when you get to the louisiana purchase, it is funny be

malone has spent 50 years writing about jefferson and said jefferson the 17 '90s i don't really understand what he is doing. it's been 50 years we don't understand what is doing. what he's doing is lying it is a treasonable. he is stabbing washington in the back. i might be wrong, kevin tell me, i have often said to students and i hope i was right, jefferson wrote to martha when he became president he was close to mount vernon, can i come see you? she never answered i don't think. she said that washington said i never want that man on my property. >> is right after washington's death in particular martha has a very powerful statement for jefferson. let me bring up a little more at language here were going to talk about union quite a bit. it is all through this address the word union appears so much he will think you are reading for abraham lincoln. it's all through this address unity and union which constitutes is also known due to the word now jumps out at me. it's the edifice for the real independence for your tranquility at home of peace abroad of safety, of prosperity and the very libe

thomas jefferson,. >> good afternoon. in march of 1775 when this convention takes place, the capitol of virginia is still located down in williamsburg so you may wonder, whyer does this meeting take place here in richmond instead of their? the answer is simple. the royal governor of virginia dissolved the house and as he was against this meeting, it was moved here to richmond to be away from the governor's power. you see 50 miles that separate richmond and williamsburg would provide doubletime for the delegates and attendings to disperse should the governor decide he wanted to spend it. as intervention, the town of richmond at the time was a small town of about 600 and in the church, the buildingg here was the only building large enough to handle the delegates who would arrive from all over the state not to mention the director of the time, he was sympathetic to the colonial calls. you may wonder, why would these men take such an extraordinary measure? john adams observed the real revolution takes place in the hearts and

it was a burst of anger directed at jefferson davis. so, he did, davis was even more of a, i forget, russian cuckoo cloud world. than anybody else in the confederacy at that point. lee would be respectful, well, mr. davies, things aren't looking exactly as we hoped they would and i think could be prudent if you considered starting to evacuate some of the less important things of the confederacy. it would've been not get your rear end in gear and get ready to get out of town on short notice kind of warning. i'm sorry, i didn't get your second. i just couldn't hear it. >> i'll try it again. >> it's not me making that stuff cut off, i got a little button here. >> alan nolin and lee considered, he believed that lee made it abundantly clear before abandoning richmond that the cause was lost. nolan argues that any loss of life really, as you look at the beginning of spring in 65, a loss of life that is on lee. well you say he did the honorable thing in surrendering at appomattox, how would you respond to someone like nolan who said lee's own

tyler once had dinner with thomas jefferson not long after he graduated from william and mary. jefferson impressed upon him that a successful politician, particularly an virginia needed to establish himself in the legal profession. in fact a legal career jefferson said to the young man was a virtual prerequisite to a political career. so, much like there's no doubt he would attend william and mary became pretty apparent is going to pursue a legal career. shortly after he graduated his father and another tyler relative took him on his legal apprentice. a little bit later when judge tyler was elected governor of virginia could no longer supervise his son's legal studies, edmund randolph stepped in. randolph had been attorney general under george washington and really presented young tyler with a challenging way to approach the law. tyler passed the bar in 1809 at the age of 19. now this is interesting because in virginia the law at the time they do had to be at least 21 years of age to pass the bar exam. to even sit for the bar exam. but apparently the examiner could not ask tyle

thomas jefferson. [applause] >> good afternoon. in march of 1775, when this convention takes place the capitol of virginia is still located down in w williamsburg. so you may wonder why did this meeting to place here in richmond instead of there? the answer is quite simple, lord dunmore was the royal governor of virginia at the time had dissolved the house of burgess. and as he was against the extralegal meeting that meeting was moved here to richmond to be away from the governor's power. you see, the 50 miles separate richmond and williamsburg would provide ample time for the delegates and the attendees of the convention to disperse should the governor decide he wanted to send troops. now, sandra mentioned the town of richmond atwa that time was a small town of about 600 souls. and in parish church this building here was the only building large enough to handle all of the delegates who be arriving from all of the state. not to mention miles sultan who was the rector at the time was sympathetic to the colonial cause. now, you may w

jefferson writes about this right after. i think jefferson actually wrote some of washington's speech i can't prove that. but jefferson says one man saved us from the fate that befalls most republics. there thinking cromwell, subsequently they can think of napoleon, we can think of now, we can think of castro a variety of who never run away from office. those that might still be alive in american politics. but the president is ratified as a constitutional amendment in 1951 i believe. the real president all leaders, no matter how indispensable are disposable. you do not die in office like a monarch. the dominant thing we need to remember is this was not ever delivered as an address. now both of our commentators already know that but we have not mentioned it. it was not a speech was an open letter to the american people that first appeared in a philadelphia paper and then i think a new hampshire paper gives that the farewell address. but that initial reaction to the address is oh my god, he cannot leave us. it was like the fat

thomas jefferson. good afternoon. back in march of 1775, when this convention place, the capital, virginia, is still located down in williamsburg. so you may wonder, why did this meeting take place here in? richmond instead of there? and the answer is quite simple. lord dunmore, who was the royal governor of virginia at the time, had dissolved the house of burgesses, and as he was against this extra legal meeting, the meeting was moved here to richmond to be away from the governor's power. you see the 50 miles that separate richmond and williamsburg would provide ample time for the delegates and the attendees of the convention to disperse should the governor decide that he wanted to send troops. now, as andrew mentioned, the town of, richmond at that time was a small town of about 600 souls. and henrico parish church. this building here was the only building larger to handle all of the delegates who would be arriving from all over the state, not to mention myles selden, who was the rector of henrico parish at the time

this is thomas jefferson's handwriting. looks like an excel spreadsheet. and he's tracking which states? affirmative, negative have voted yes or no for all of these amendments. and this is showing that, hey, we've got the majority we need. we've got three quarters of states have agreed. and so this is december 15th, 1791. the bill of rights is officially added. these ten amendments were ratified. thomas jefferson's martin. they're all right. i received responses from these states. we have ten amendments to the constitution of the united states. so we can see through a few of our documents there some of that exploration. madison, what do you think? we want to see if we want to have some about our bill of rights. sure, brian. i think it's a it's a great time. jump in and play some trivia to see if our friends have been paying attention so that they can really test their test their bill of rights knowledge. so going to go ahead and pull up my screen friends and we're going to see. who wants to be a billionaire. i love that. you'll love that. i love that name.

april 20, lee got something off his chest in a letter written to jefferson davis. to save the useless area and measures taken to the suspension and the restoration of peace. so it's my hope's biographers will take a look at the campaign as described. they are known to be wrong. [laughter] in a way, it became hollywood's go to shorthand for ending the civil war. i would suggest to you that this perfection does not happen by accident. while i hope, i don't expect everyone to agree with my revision, i do hope it might inspire some to revisit the civil war's more. thanks very much. [applause] if you have questions, i'll remind you all over here, i'll be happy to sign books. if you have questions right now, i'll be happy to answer. >> thank you. we got one, good. >> you described the faces, if you think it only moved in one direction or do you think it was variable? you think it was early toward d.c., was that more of a spectrum? >> was a defensive move. throughout the campaign, they would do damage to the north. there is just another -- i don't know he had higher hopes

your son as we mentioned is a senior at thomas jefferson.should have gotten notification of the national merit scholarship in probably mid-september, he did not get it until late november after he applied to some colleges he wants to go to to study engineering. you spoke with a fellow named brandon about it. what did he tell you the reason the things were delayed? >> i spoke to him shortly before thanksgiving and told me they had delayed giving these to the students because they wanted to find a discreet time to hand them out to the students where they wouldn't feel so bad if they did not get the award. >> john: what does that mean even? >> it's -- we have a fundamental problem, john, the schools have stopped focusings on academic excellence. if the school was focused on academic excellence as opposed to the other things they are focused on, they would have handed the awards out immediately, so exciting when they received them. they wouldn't have been worried about the students feelings that didn't get them, not worried about how can we do i

they don't care that thomas jefferson had a koran. they don't care that the koran is sitting right down the street and d. c at the smithsonian. what they care about is that god made this a special nation. and so when you talk about this nation being special, those documents, you can read them how you want to read them because you don't read the same history that kristin is teaching in her history class. or i'm teaching in american religion class. they're not reading that stuff. they are reading these kinds of made up. tomes. this is, this is a nostalgia movement. and we have to think about christian nationalism as nostalgia nostalgia for time. that never existed. nostalgia for a time that didn't exist at the beginning of this nation. why did people come here? they came here to escape. you know, ty, radical religion. it england. they want it to have religious freedom to do what they want it to do. they were religious people, and now we see this being used as no, no, no, we need to have a state religion just like england. this is crazy,

so beauregard automatically wired jefferson davis with this news.jefferson davis then was able to send joseph johnson from the valley to reinforce beauregard. rose was not in the city when the battle of manassas of bull run was fought. she was actually in new york city. she had gone to take her daughter lelah to board a steamer. she decided to send lelah, her middle surviving daughter out west to join florence. and she kept it with her only her youngest child, little rose. when rose returned to the city , she saw this as a confederate victory. in a victory the women had helped to achieve it. she said the southern women of washington are the cause of the defeat of the grand army. they are entitled to the laurels one by the brave defenders of our soil and institution. they have told beauregard when to strike. so that really reveals how proud rose was of what she had done. she continued to send messages to beauregard. she sent to nine messages in all one was a map of the defenses around d.c. rose also was outspoken and her hatred of lincoln and the uni

and thomas jefferson high school is considered one of the best high schools in the entire country. and it's majority/minority. but as we saw with the national merit, also so many concerned parents in the asian american community felt like their children were losing their dreams and aspirations. and that's what's so heart breaking is that so many that come here that are immigrants, their children are living dreams that were denied them. education is the pathway to the american dream. we're conducting investigation to two areas -- the national merit recognition denied any of these students based on race or ethnic background? and in the admissions policy in thomas jefferson high school changed quite recently and we saw a huge drop in enrollment in asian american students. as one mom told me, listen, my daughter has done everything right since the first grade and i have to sit down with her and tell her you may lose your dream of attending thomas jefferson high school, not because of what you've done but because of your background, the fact that you're korean american. that should outr

jefferson davis did come to visit her.ccording to rose, in her book, she said that davis told her, but for you, there would have been no battle of bull run. whether he actually said it or not, who knows. he certainly did give her credit. he did appreciate her service. in fact, he had judah benjamin send $2500 from the secret service fund for rose, as an acknowledgment of the valuable patriotic service rendered to you by our cause. no. by you, to our cause. there we go. he was grateful for that. he also wrote to marina and told her, the madame looks much changed and has an air of one whose nerves were shaken by mental torture. rose spent about a year in richmond. there is very little information on what she did while she was here. mary chestnut gives the indication that there was a lot of gossip about rose. the way she had acquired information in d. c. through affairs and sexual favors was really looked down upon. women in richmond, it does not appear, to have greeted her with open arms. most of the time when she was in ric

in 1784 thomas jefferson proposed a land ordinance. that would have banned slavery in all the western territories before they became states quote there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the said states jefferson's bill declared. otherwise then in person punishment of crimes where of the party shall have been duly convicted. congress passed a northwest an ordinance of 1787 banning three years later congress passed the an ordinance of 1787 banning slavery in the northwest territories and jefferson's language survived nearly intact. the northwest ordinance was again reenacted in 1789 by the first congress app operating under the new constitution and therefore it be there after it became a touchstone for all opponents of slavery. in 1846 the northern northern congressman david wilmot proposed a ban on slavery in all the territories recently acquired from mexico his famous proviso declared that quote neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of the said territory except for crime where

most of the affected students, especially from thomas jefferson, are asian-american. and thomas jefferson is in the midst of a controversy how it changed its admissions to admit fewer asian-americans to make room for hispanics and black students. so they are the context for this that kind of belies the innocent explanations of the officials. maybe the attorney general will find out that it's all just bureaucratic mistake, but their actions so far in everything else create a lot of distrust. >> john: the attorney general who was on america's newsroom this morning did not suggest a hard and fast connection but did suggest that this happened about the same time as thomas jefferson was heavily invested in equity. listen here. >> you know they hired an equity consultant, paid $450,000 for nine months of work. one of their directives was equal outcomes no matter what. >> john: equal outcomes no matter what. equal outcomes to some people is you, you know, rising tide lifts all boats. to others, take the people at the top tier and keep them from succeeding in order to look li
