john adams didn't have a substitute for america. he remains committed, but that helps describe it that about his legacy also has been so prideful and all of those things that he was proud of the accomplishment of his generation and he was afraid of scenic as longer. i think that counts as ambivalence. >> i haven't had a chance to read your book yet and i look forward to it. i noticed at the beginning you had used the phrase moral agency and throughout the book you talk about that also. if apple we would call behavior or is that something else? >> that's a great question and i'm really glad you asked it because in part i'm fond of the term is diverted noticed moral agency. for a long time i wanted it in the subtitle of the book that i was afraid it would make sense to anyone but me. so it didn't belong there. but it is hugely important because one of the things for me that was so surprising was i was interested in a way of thinking about human difference that was universal, that could include all of human difference and that i found

but what she believed and practiced was consistent with ideas that john adams had. nd that to me, was the biggest shock, to find sometimes in the writings i would find jane adams writing things that were almost very verbatim things john adams had written. just a little bit different and i don't think she was cribbing off him. i think there was a cultural continuity that had to do with this ethic of moral agency, but then it's a slow sort of unspooling of the implications of this idea. right? so on the matter of voting, i'll go to william elly channing so this is then the era of the rise of the democratic party and the spread of voting. so then you have universal white male suffrage, right? and now they're whigs because the federalist party's over, and they're horrified. they don't think most people should vote. but that's because they're afraid of exactly what happened, which is that the democratic party would co-opt their vote, buy them off with rum and do what they wanted. so the whigs instead wanted them to be educated. so it's no coincidence at all that the commo

so it's quite a challenge to write a book on the american revolution of john adams and -- if john adams and thomas jefferson didn't think anybody could write a book on it. [laughter] but, in fact i think they put their finger on the problem that faces all historians. we weren't there when the events took place. not all of the documents have survived. we can't talk to people who were active in the american revolution. but nevertheless, a great deal of material has survived from the revolution; the papers of most of the founders, there are newspapers, some of the participants were interviewed by newspapermen in the aftermath of the revolution. so there's a lot of documentation. and while we, like any historian writing about any event there probably are going to be some gaps. i think we make a pretty good stab at the american revolution. let me begin by saying that no one expected the american revolution to occur. officials in london didn't expect it, and the colonists didn't expect it. in 1763, what we think of as the french and indian war, came to an end. great britain was victorious. it

if you weill especially go to john adams and benjamin franklin for some of their ideas and critiques of his writing. he's building on a lot of other things that he and others had written. some of the grievances they had already been talking about make up the bulk of the declaration of independence. by june 28 the declaration is back here in the us of the room, but that is a friday. they wait until monday to start debating. so july 1 begins debate on independence. now, they first thing is going to debate is not the declaration but the idea. so they are going to start discussing, is this the best thing for us to do? should we become these free and independent states? most of the men in the room are at that point where they are ready to make the step, but there are others that are not -- they are not loyal. but they are men that are more conservative saying this might not be such a good idea. john dickinson is probably the most important of them. he was years earlier the author of the letters of pennsylvania farmer which is again against various taxes. he's probably one of our best-know

and my favorite remains one from ladies of liberty, a letter written by six catherine adams who was the wife of john quincy adams and it was here in washington in 1820 and he was secretary of state and she had written, she wrote these chatty letters to john adams, abigail had died and he was lonely so she had written him at one point saying it was her vocation to get her husband elected president. it is fleer 1820, the year of the missouri compromise, congress stayed in session longer than usual because of the compromise and finally they adjourned, she goes to a meeting of the orphan asylum trustees that dolly madison with the local women here founded the orphan asylum after the british invasion so she goes to meet the trustees and one of the trustees said they needed new building,. she said why? what you talking about? the woman said the session had been very long. the fathers of the nation had left 40 cases to be provided for by the public. and our institution was the most likely to be called upon to maintain this illicit progeny. 40 pregnant women left behind and their only 200 members of congres

american academy was founded by the second president of the united states, john adams. it is a membership included many founding fathers of our nations and generations of leaders from nobel laureates to civic leaders such as martin luther king. this really reflects the leadership and excellence of the work of the asian art museum. here are the institutional goals we have. the asian art museum is really about about a broader and more diverse audience to sustain our financial stability, support our people, and transform our experience to connect art to life. the call of which, that our culture and our infrastructure. that is what is so important about what we do. in planning with the city because city support is instrumental to what we do in purchasing our infrastructure. actually, let me know show you a slide about our upcoming exhibition pipeline for the fy 15 and 16. as you can tell, exhibition is very diverse. not only are we featuring different asian cultures, but also exploring global relevance and connections. also focusing on contemporary art, connecting art to li

here's a picture of john adams. has anyone seen the hbo miniseries or read the book? so long ago john adams predicted that america would one day become the greatest empire in the world and he was right. but despite that fact he and our other founding fathers would've almost surely had no idea what the american economy would have looked like today. similarly we have no idea what the american economy will look like 300 years now yet these models may to make projections about far into the future. at heritage we made a list unrealistic assumption of trying to project say one of 50 years into the future and we estimated the models accordingly. lastly, these models make the specification of and pat alluded to this, an equilibrium climate sensitivity is tradition. global warming alarmists will tell you the site is on global warming. at the thing is, if it's science, and how can it be settled? new studies consistently come to light replacing existing studies. the concept of equilibrium climate sensitivity distributions is no different. it was suggested and was published in th

patrick henry was there, the great hero of a revolution and in a letter to john adams, the quality of leaders in the room, he wrote to adams i cannot count on one coadjutor of talent equal to the task. madison the young and small and shy was making himself known. a draft of the constitution's religious freedom claus was introduced by george mason famously later of the bill of rights. madison stood to object and suggest a replacement. this was his first real impact on public life. nation's clause stated all men should enjoy the full list toleration and exercise of religion. madison's version said men should be equally entitled to the free exercise of religion. that was a fundamental shift because says the state was on the position of the creeping freedom that said men had freedom for the state had anything to say about it. pat end ed up becoming our establishment of religion idea that became in the bill of rights many years later. after two months of work on a new constitution patrick henry was elected, revolutionary virginia first governor, madison became a delegate. the next spring m

so here's a picture of john adams. has anyone seen the hbo miniseries or read the book? so long ago, john adams predicted that america would one day become the greatest empire in the world. and he was right. but despite that fact he and our other founding fathers would have almost surely had no idea what the american economy would have looked like today. similarly, we have no idea what the american economy will look like 300 years from now. yet these models precisely try to make projections that far into the future. at heritage, we made the less unrealistic assumption of trying to project say 150 years into the future. and we reestimated the models accordingly. now, lastly, these models make the specification of -- and pat alluded to this earlier -- an equilibrium climate sensitivity distribution. now, global warming alarmists will consistently tell you oh the science is settled on global warming. but the thing is if it's science, then how can it be settled? new studies consistently come to light, replacing existing studies. the concept of equilibrium climate sensitivity

and john quincy adams.y were the only two of the early presidents that didn't have slaves. and it basically stopped with zachary taylor. i think he was the last president that literally brought slaves to the white house with him. after that, they didn't. susan swain: next is a question from tennessee, jonesboro, and our caller is carol. susan swain: hi, carol. carol: hello? susan swain: you're on. carol: okay, thank you. yes, my husband's mother met mary pat -- martha patterson's daughter, which would have been andrew johnson's granddaughter, some years ago. she came to jonesboro specifically to talk to my mother-in-law at the time, saying she was -- that her grandmother was so thankful that my husband's great grand -- great-great-grandfather had saved the johnson homestead and had given safe passage to the family -- to the johnson family so that if they had wanted to go to the homestead during the war, they could have. carol he was a confederate general that at one time, was over the east tennessee area --

john adams talks about going to the catholic church. and he is just -- you know, i hate these catholics, but man, that was crazy great, that service, all of the ritualism -- you could say, i better not go back there again, something might happen. that is the attraction and repulsion. david: methodism is an interesting example because it's an evangelical theology, but it is structured in a really remarkable way. classes and churches and it has a kind of hierarchy that a lot of the other upstart evangelical movements did not. that might account for some of its appeal during this period. stephen: so, your book "conceived in doubt," i was teasing you about the title and moment ago. but it represents a discontinuity. we are not just going christian, to the enlightenment. we are going puritan christian boom, the indictment. all of these deists, jefferson jefferson's bible. it is flourishing around the time of the revolution with skepticism and doubt. part of this growth is not just let's quadruple the puritan thing, but let's reverse -- if i

they were very fortunate in that situation that john quincy adams came out of retirement to help defend them. and i'd always thought that he had somehow volunteered, but in fact, they invited him. one of the captives, young man named kale who had a facility with language actually drafted a letter that was sent to adams. and in his long tradition, the family tradition of being on the side of justice and very anti-slavery, he took on the responsibility of helping to defend them. when the case goes to the supreme court, they are in fact vindicated. they are allowed at that point to make their arrangements to return to africa. it's that second case in the supreme court that most people think of, but the first court hearing was in connecticut. and so, if you look, there is a gentleman leaning on his hand in the second or third row, hard to say, that is woodruff. and so, he's communicating the fact that not only is he telling the story, he's so involved in it that he actually pictures himself as being part of it. so that adds to the entertainment. there was an artist in new haven at the time

charlie: even though he had done it earlier, were you surprised by john roberts? adam: we knew that the four liberal justices would vote in favor of the administration. two votes were in play, justice kennedy and the chief justice. the administration was hoping for one, must he particularly delighted to get two. the chief justice was this time leading a unified and lopsided majority, really speaking in ringing terms about the law, quite different from three years ago when his opinion was fractured. joined in whole by no other justice. with a grudging quality to it. we seem to have a shift from the chief justice. charlie: when you look at the issue itself, explain to us the states that did not have exchanges. it was argued the subsidies did not apply. adam: there was a phrase in the law that if you look at all by it self you might well think that only states that have established their own exchanges, these days typically democratic run states, party run red states, are entitled to exchanges. the phrase is that the exchange must be established by the state. the chief jus

the mag that carta something very basic to the united states governance the rule of law or what john adams called -- quote -- "a government of laws, not of men end of -- quote --." in the 17th century the magna charta was increasingly cited to criticize the king's exercise of arbitrary power in the tug of war for accept press -- supremacy between the king and the parliament. it became a symbol of inviolable liberties for englishmen. for instance when william penn was put on trial in england for practicing his quaker faith he used the magna charta in his defense. he later wrote a commentary on the magna charta for a work printed in philadelphia called "the excellent privilege of liberty and property, being the birthright of the freeborn subjects of england" which contained the first edition of the magna charta printed in the new world. in this work william penn explained the significance of the english tradition where the ruler is bound by the law in contrast to countries like france where the king was actually the law. he wrote -- quote -- ," again quoting william penn, "the law is both th

caller two months ago, we read : joseph ellis' "first family" about john and abigail adams and so thatd added more to my knowledge of those two. and one another book that we read, which is fictionalized i will say that we've read "team of rivals," by the way another one that we read which is a fictionalized biography of mary, so i know how you might feel about that. but it did nothing and it was new to me or contradicted anything i've heard from other sources, historical sources, except that there was mention of what appeared to be an affair with some government employee. it's been several years, and i'm sorry that i don't remember the author. but i would be very skeptical about it, except for the fact that existing newspapers were quoted with dates and headlines, and i thought if this author has made this up, she has really been bold in doing so. it seems to me the employee was supposed to have been maybe somebody in charge of housing or government buildings in d.c. but i wondered if you have any comments on that or know anything about it. richard: only that one of the criticisms that
