-- davis for support and jefferson said stay. another confederate commander was sent by davis to look into the situation and what should be done, and johnston said, it would be a mistake to release bragg. he infected so much damage comparative -- comparatively with few resources, it would be desirable to sacrifice him. so, bragg knew by this time that the president was his supporter, and he knew that joseph johnson was his supporter. many people believe that davis supported bragg because they were personal friends, as stephen which worth pointed out and is very evident. they do not have a personal friendship at this time. jefferson davis, more than once, clearly said in a letter why i support bragg? i admire his administrative talents. even though he may not be the best general on the battlefield, i don't know who else is better. until somebody better comes along, he should stay where he is. that is the truth of the matter in terms of the davis/bragg relationship. as i said it went downhill from there. bragg stock worsened. his ab

he also accepted jefferson davis' offer of a commission as general in the confederate army in 1961. and for the first time, he begins to get an ingnin inkling maybe davis doesn't hate me like i assumed he did ever since 1856 and he begins to slowly warm himself toward the confederate president. the confederate president never hated bragg. he had always respected him. bragg wound up commanding an important post at pensacola, florida, in late '61, early '62. then he was shifted up to tennessee. just before shiloh where he helped to organize the confederate army of the mississippi. the field army that would become the famous army of tennessee in a short while. fought at shiloh which was the biggest battle of his life so far. he had some very interesting letters describing his personal experience at shiloh. which are at the missouri history museum written to his wife elise. promoted to command the confederate army of the mississippi by may of 1862. well, those of you who know civil war military history know what happens. he takes the army on a massive invasion of kentucky. a slave state

but there's also a statue of the president of the confederacy in would be jefferson davis, across the hall there's alexander hamilton stevens the vice president of the confederacy, one level below in the crypt of the united states capitol. robert e. lee across the way from him, john ccalhoun, a major force on the side of the confederacy, leading up to t war. so the call for these removals of these statues is complicated. jim and shawn, every state is allowed to place two statues into the united states capitol, as part of the united states capitol statuary hall collection. however, it is up to those states to decide who they select. now, states can put a statue in, they can take a statue out. they can only have two at one time. so it is not quite clear now, if congress itself can actually force a state to remove a one of its statues. interestingly enough, only a couple of years ago, president obama was here when they placed the statue of rosa parks inside a statuary hall. fittingly and symbolically, they placed that statue of a seated rosa park as directly across statuary hall looking

lee at this point, his military adviser to jefferson davis in rich mpd. lee is in almost daily exact with confederate commander joseph johnston down on the battlefield. a few days before johnston and the confederate army pull out of their works at yorktown this is what joseph johnston writes to robert e. lee. i'll read almost the entire letter. april 30, 1862. johnston says to lee, we are engaged in a species of warfare at which we can never win. it is plain that general mcclellan will adhere to the system adapted by him last summer and defend for success upon artillery and engineering. we can compete with him in neither. we must therefore change our course. take the offensive. collect all the troops we have in the east and cross the potomac with them. our troops have always wished for the offensive, and so does the country. please submit this suggestion to the president, we can have no success while mcclellan is allowed as he is by our defensive, to choose his mode of warfare. what mcclellan is doing is he's putting the confederate army in a no-win situa

he is the great great grandson of jefferson davis and is the president of the jefferson davis foundation for being with us. >> thank you for inviting me, ali. >> did i get it right? you're the great, great grandson? >> that's correct. >> okay. so your foundation promotes education around jefferson davis and around southern culture. now, back in 2015 you ended up supporting the removal of the confederate flag from the statehouse in south carolina, the south carolina state capitol. you told news week, and i'm quoting here the battle flag is an historic symbol of a implicate and should be appropriately displayed in museums as such, but it isn't something that i think demands any public display. do those wise words hold when it comes to statues? >> well, there's almost the same in one respect they're different. the battle flag that you're speaking of has been high jacked by the racist groups and portrays a whole different society that neither one of us would appreciate or even agree to. the monuments, however, represent something a little bit different in my viewpoint. they are representativ

the second question about jefferson davis and lee being in -- did lee have any leeway, so to speak. it's often portrayed that when lee writes his very famous september 3 drainsville letter to jefferson davis saying i'm going to cross the potomac river, that lee then continues to move forward with his invasion of maryland in the first place even without receiving permission from jefferson davis. it's not exactly the case. lee and davis had been talking about this for quite some time and the confederacy has been talking about a movement into maryland for quite some time, even going back to the fuall of 1861. even before stonewall jackson was stonewall jackson, when he was thomas jackson at harper's ferry, he does have troops technically on maryland migheig. now robert e. lee did not put much stock in the fact that marylanders were going to rise up by the thousands and join the army but he knew that was the aim of the confederacy to throw the yolk of yankee oppression, as lee called it, off of maryland and bring maryland into the folds of the confederacy so lee, he did have leeway in t

forward with an invasion of maryland in the first place, even without receiving permission from jefferson davis. it's not exactly the case. lee and davis have been talking about this for quite some time. and really the confederacy had been talking about a movement into maryland for quite some time, even going back to the fall of 1861. even stonewall jackson when he's in command before he's stonewall jackson and still thomas jackson at harper's ferry very early on in the war, the first days of the war, does have troops on maryland heights in maryland. so this was a constant confederate warring. robert e. lee did not himself put much stock in the fact that marylanders were going to join up by the thousands and join the army, but he knew that the confederacy was going to throw the yolk. so lee, he did have some leeway in that certainly. again, pardon the pun, but jefferson davis was fully aware of what lee was wanting too. >> ladies and gentlemen, kevin paulik.

the second question about jefferson davis and lee being -- did lee have any leeway, so to speak. it's often portrayed that when lee writes his very famous september 3rd dranesville letter to jefferson davis, basically saying i'm going to cross the potomac river, that lee then continues to move forward with his invasion of maryland in the first place, even without receiving permission from jefferson davis. it's not exactly the case. lee and davis had been talking about this for quite some time. and really, the confederacy had been talking about a movement into maryland for quite some time, even going all the way back to the fall of 1861. even stonewall jackson, when he's in command before he's stonewall jackson, when he's still thomas jackson at harpers ferry very early in the war, in the first days of the war, does have troops technically on maryland heights in maryland. so, this was a constant confederate war aim. robert e. lee himself did not put much stock in the fact that marylanders were going to rise up by the thousands and join the army, but he knew that was a war aim of t

the potomac river, lee continues to move forward even without receiving permission from jefferson davis. that's not exactly the case. lee and davis have been talking about this for quite some time. and really the confederacy have been talking about it even since 1861. when he's still thomas jackson at harpers ferry, does have troops technically in the heights on maryland. this is constant confederate war. robert e. lee himself did not much stock that he was going to rise up and join the thousands of the army. but he knew it was to throw the yoke of the yankee oppression as he called it. so lee did have some leeway in that -- certainly, again, pardon the pun -- but jefferson davis was fully aware of what lee was wanting to do. ladies and gentlemen, kevin pawlak.

but jefferson davis was -- was the last southern senator to leave washington, d.c. he was not a fire eater, in fact, most of the men who who would assume high position in new confederate government first that montgomery later ed richmond that was their capitol throughout most of the war richmond, virginia were moderates were men who had a lot of seasoning and experience in national government and one by or the other. and they were ones who were of the confederate people and at home and abroad. >> did jefferson davis had any relationship with abraham lincoln? >> yes but davis did not have -- a -- there has been a lot written about lincoln and right now i cannot recall if they had ever met. i doubt it. i doubt that they have ever met, and, but jefferson davis vice president alexander stevens of georgia who is not a fire eat per either had a friendship with abraham lincoln when lincoln served as a congressman in, from 1846 to 1848 and they were friends, and lincoln wrote a letter to him. jefferson, i mean, alexander stevens wrote a letter to abraham lincoln while linco

jefferson davis. you either take care of the deal in the bargain or are sent home and what is fascinating is we found this happening over the united states it's about one fifth of georgia's budget fight eating 64 was going to provide the soldiers families and the poor, realizing again if you are not taking care of the homefront, it doesn'homefront, t you do vice versa. it is this combined effort. i also wanted to point out it is not just southerners who were wearing down. and so, rather than assume and on the southern family where the weather was kind of freaking out, i did to show those examples of the women writing to the county officials and state officials but i decided to zoom in on the northern family that was getting exhausted and that was from minnesota and he is very, very dedicated to the war and motivated. they still hadn't come home and you promised me you want just wondering where you coming home and still had to come home. what you mean? this kind of stuff. i was able to weave in the lat

i think it is counter monuments right behind the jefferson davis monument on monument avenue, that is a counter monument, the word love. i think these kind of counter monuments invite discussion. obviously there needs to be text associated with the monuments, the jefferson davis monuments in -- on monument avenue in richmond, virginia i think literally makes no reference to slavery. it talks about him as the defender of the rights of states. it in races the idea of -- erases the idea of slavery and slavery as part of the civil war. we say, when this was put up, right at the turn of the 20th century, slavery was being erased from the memory of the civil war and now we know more, so that is the kind of contextualization that invites ongoing discussion. not just yes or no, on or off decision to remove the statue. can call the republican line, democrat line. our guest of professor at the university of alabama school of law, he has written books reconstructing the race riot of 1921 and. michael, good morning. up first on the independent line. caller: i agree with the professor that they sh

when i talked about jefferson davis i did the same thing. those just me being spoiled. but that way you get these people in the stories come i can't talk about the american civil war without talking about the lincoln assassination. it's fascinating to me and readers but again i decided to tell it with claire harris whose with the presidential box and whose husband she engaged in at the time. whose husband is so later traumatized in part by the experience and apart from the mental illness that he will wind up killing her after the war with their children and talking about again i couldn't protect her. somebody came in and attack my family. i couldn't protect my family later he said he killed him himself. but he still trying to save the president. he almost dies about the assassination. they're trying to save the president. but they said major it's amazing tragic story. when i was talking about slavery which runs through the war, you cannot understand the word without understanding slavery and americans, white and black wrestling with the killing institution. i wanted to

of course jefferson davis, mississippi's own became the president of the confederacy. the governors office had a interesting role. the building was captured several time during the war. first time was in may of 1863. when union army and soldiers first came into the buildings one of the first to come in with fred grant. the son of union general. and according to to legend and story fred grants own autobiography. when he came in there a still lit pipe from governor john jay that he took for his own use. another governor is aims. he was a governor during reconstruction. he was a union general who came down and lived in mississippi and eventually became governor. he had to deal with the violence of reconstruction. a very difficult time in mississippi. mississippi is trying to go through the years of trying to deal with the former freedman and dealing with whites who were not happy about the situation and where mississippi was going. ames was forced to get out of the office and move out. another governor. the last governor to serve in this building. was the first to serve i

jefferson davis factors into this calculation enormously. is that potentially a contributing factor to pickett's charge in gettysburg, that willingness to make that ground assault, napoleonic assault, because it did not fit lee's style of war or his own personal character. mr. meyers: i think it into this fits equation of going for the quick end to the war. lee i think of as a humane person in trying to alleviate the number of casualties during this conflict. he sees the accounting. i think that factors into the equation. >> thank you. mr. meyers: thank you. great question. >> i have a question about sailor's creek. general's were supposed to do it and didn't do what they were supposed to do, consequently have this big defeat, so is there anything must have been in the enormous shock and had already proceeded several miles ahead of the army and he went to find out what happened and discovered what had happened, so how did that affect him from there until his surrender? the things one of you have to consider about this final year of the war i

but on the other hand, jefferson davis didn't feel that way. he felt like the best soldier in the army was the guy who was lee's commanding officer, the colonel albert sydney johnston. if you're left with looking at decisions on the officer list of the second u.s. calvary list, it's a pretty good officer list. the captains in that command are some of the best guys you're going to see during the war. but you've got a colonel, and lieutenant colonel, there's different perspectives on this. jefferson davis was willing to set that unit up. that's a differing opinion. that doesn't exactly answer the question, but i hope it gives you my thoughts on it. >> can you comment on lee's relation with some of his subordinates after the war? people like pickett and longstreet, how they went? >> yeah, it's not uniform. it's not uniform. you see the sort of bitterness of a guy like pickett after the war, his conversations with people. i spent a lot of time reading john singleton mosby's correspondence and his saying that old man destroyed my division. those kin

there are state office closures in vermilion and jefferson davis and allen in addition to cameron and others. at this point in time i'll ask fema representative to come up followed by admiral paul thomas of the coast guard and then i'll take questions and you can direct those questions to anyone that is here standing behind me as well. >> thank you governor. appreciate the partnership. as the governor said we have gotten an emergency declaration and state of texas. for the state of louisiana report strong see forts for harvey. declaration makes available emergency protective measures in those parishes and cameron and jefferson, davis and vermilion and the state of louisiana. fema is reposition assistance team has been here since august 23rd. currently u.s. coast guard and department of human and health service and state requested resources including shelter commodities have been pre positioned on standby and are already here in the state and fema has worked with partnership since the 14th. they continue to support on-going recovery efforts from 2015 floods. we continue to follow instr

specifically if you look at jefferson davis's accomplishments. secretary of defense, senator representative, west point graduate. i think you have to look at the entire individual before you making a decision whether they belong at the capitol of the united states or not. >> do you think they belong in public buildings paid for by taxpayer money? >> i will say this if there is a statue that's offensive to a large majority of the public, it should be placed in a museum or it should be appropriately mark would the accomplishments of the individual. such as the capitol, which is not only a public building but offers that opportunity to be a museum as we honor these museums in stat ware hall. >> a woman is dead because people felt so strongly about the statue of robert e. lee that they rallied a white supremacist rally around that. >> i believe exactly as i just said. you have to have the history of the entire individual before you so you understand what that statue means. however, it is offensive and people are taking issue with it, let's move it, l

among them the former president of the confederate states of america, jefferson davis of mississippi. right below statuary hall in an area of the capitol known as the crypt is a statue honoring perhaps the most famous confederate general and the same general at the center of the controversy in charlottesville, robert e. lee of virginia. each state gets to pick which person is represented here at the capital. and some states like mississippi and north carolina have chosen to honor figures with direct connections to the confederacy. but it's not without controversy. like this statue honoring kirby smith. behind he is from florida. and debbie wasserman schultz has called for this statue to be replaced. while the confederacy is represented well on capitol hill, there are civil rights leaders honoredal as well, among them rosa parks who positioned right across from alexander hamilton stevens of georgia. don, back to you. >> ryan nobles, thank you very much. no full-sized stat use of black americans were placed inside the capitol until 2013 when frederick douglass and rosa parks were added.

the carving of jefferson davis, robert e. lee, and stonewall jackson is larger than mount rushmore. it's georgia's most visited attraction that even includes a laser light show, and fireworks. the mountain is also considered the birth place of the ku klux klan, more than a century ago. and where white supremacists clashed with counterprotesters in 2015. the images, and monuments are representative of individuals that wanted to maintain, and keep a way of life, that treated african americans as noncitizens, and we want those removed from public spaceses. >> any changes to the park would state legislature and a change in the law. >> do you see that happening in the near future? >> no, i don't. >> the great, great grandson of jefferson davis says he believes they should be removed from public places, but he feels differently about stone mountain, because of the difference of the sculpture as a piece of art. >>> it was one of the best, and earliest views of the great american eclipse. an invitation only flight unalaska airlines, allowed dozens of enthusiasts to witness this event above

jefferson davis, president of the confederacy, to me he was a tra --was a traitor and the stae doesn't belong anywhere. but you said there is a distinction to be made between stonewall jackson and robert e. lee and jefferson davis. >> men who led the confederate armies were almost unanimously opposed to secession. robert e. lee was the leading light of the u.s. army on the eve of war and they strongly opposed secession. but american identities were different in the 19th century. nationalism hadn't caught on to a great extent. but in the south they were. they would say i'm a virginian, i'm a georgian, i'm a tarheel. agricultural issues, tariff issues, that was slavery at the core. you want to take down the statues of stonewall jackson? really? this is a man who against great opposition in lexington virginia a decade before the war. he insisted on opening sunday schools for free blacks and slaves. he violated virginia law by teaching blacks to read. twice he bought slaves. why? because the slaves both times begged jackson to buy them because they knew he was a good christian man and they

that is when the jefferson davis monument was erected and always just a draw for criticism. but especially during civil is when the hat push started to bring it down. we didn't really see reaction local government until just recently in 2015, when the city to take it down, that was the first action. host: what is the debate like today? is happening? guest: well, since 2015, the the has been trying to take monuments down, jefferson davis forrest and what happened is he state has a very strict historic preservation law that blocked the city's efforts to take it down. now they are going through the process, governor announced just support for the city's application for a waiver to statues.he but still the tennessee voted cal commission has it down once, as several members of the board are sons of supporters veterans and members, so they denied it once, that was overturned on it will come back, but not sure what will happen next? historical s the commission? guest: the historical commission is a governor-appointed board reviews all monument changes, modifications,movements, anyt

right now the federal government doesn't have a say over the fact that jefferson davis represents the of mississippi with his statue here in 'stach rare hall. when rosa park's statue was unveiled here in 2013 within she was placed directly in jefferson davis's eye line meaning the president of the confederacy will stare at the civil rights icon for as long as their statues are here. >> garrick haake. there are three times as many confederate statues as there are of any black people at congress. and there are -- i think there are more confederate statues than there are black senators. whole thing is upside down. joining us now, democrat steve cohen. congressman, good to see you. thank you for being with us. give us your sense of how you are reacting to the statue controversy, what you're hearing from your constituents. >> we have one of matthew forest, the first grand wizard of the ku klux klan and the other for jefferson davis. forest was put up at the turn of the century by a bunch of people after jim crowe and a lot went up after ferguson in 1896 that made it indeed the end of recon

unique in this in the confederate army, and that is that he had the unwaiving support of president jefferson davis. el and in fact, a wonderful working relationship with him, which nobody else had with davis. grant on the other hand never even met lincoln until early 1864. and lincoln had actually been wearry of granted for some time until he was finally convinced that this the unionest greatest military hero would not challenge for the republican nomination in 1864 because grant was being court by opponents to lincoln in his own party. lee knew davis much better than grant would ever know lincoln. grant also faced a constant peril of political infighting in his rear. but there was also men of the stripe of steven herl bit, nateal banks and grant's one time field william stark rose krants. they and their allies and almost all of them, among other things, allied themselves with newspaper men. communications and information and the creation of impressions versus the actual expression of fact, it's nothing new as ralph told you in his talk. and it's very evident there. these men constantly fed the pr

lee and jefferson davis.iously, the one that usually gets most attention is actually, as you reference, a pitchfork, ben tillman, former populous -- demands the most attention. i raised some questions yesterday about marian sims, who was not a soldier, but a scientist in object "star trek" particulars who used his authority and power to torture dozens of enslaved women and children as he perfected his craft in gynecology. and i don't believe that a monument to him should be standing here in columbia, south carolina, in montgomery, alabama, or in new york city. i find it wholly offensive on a number of different levels. i believe there is a period of self-reflection, a thoughtful process, that requires people to come together. we have to make sure that those of us who want to see good things happen, that we enforce a good, strong, positive dialogue. you can't meet hate with hate. you've got to meet hate with love and grace and mercy. and encourage people to talk and dialogue on levels we all can communicate. >
