john gordon. >> i thought were you going to tell us about john gordon. [laughter] professor janey: he becomes the commander. i think the timing of some of this is important to keep in mind that the grand army of the republics which was the primary union veterans organization forms in 1866 and the confederate can't for political reasons don't officially organize until 1889. but gordon does become a very powerful figure. we can talk about reconciliation hopefully but he plays this role between promoting reconciliation. he's a senator after that and that's something that he probably wants to promote. but he's very much a mouth piece for confederate veterans and thinking about what they fought for and making sure one of his big things was making sure that his children and grandchildren understood what the sacrifice had been about, why everything had been committed to this cause. >> and that becomes increasingly the ultimate goal. to be respected by the families. it gets harder and harder to do. people saying, people just don't get it. you have people paying

then, there is the matter of john b gordon's role. if we say that chamberlain made up the story, despite whatever claims to his many years of service has with the college president and state governor may have entitled him to, must we then say the same as gordon? a u.s. senator and governor of georgia. it is easy to be cynical especially where politicians are concerned. it would be easy to claim that chamberlain merely brought his men to attention for imposing silence on the and gordon, not to be outdone by yankee chivalry ordered his men to civil -- attention also or that they consciously or unconsciously collaborated to spin out a reconciliation yarn for each's own political advantage. if we take a cynical line, we might also be inclined to see artifice in chamberlain's own presentations of gordon during the salute itself. beginning with version three, he began polishing his account of gordon's response to the salute where it reached its final form and was subsequently repeated in the passing of the armies. i am on version five, abou

first, in john b. gordon's reminisceances, published in 1903 and subsequently in the lee's lieutenant study of command in 1944 which splices this fourth version with the sixth and final one in his passing of the armies. version 4 also presents one other striking development in the narrative of the salute. and now i'm back on page 7 down at the bottom last full paragraph. and it can be well imagined too that there was no lack of emotion on our side but the union men were held steady in their lines without the least show of demonstration by word or by motion. there was though a twitching of muscles of their faces and be it said their battle bronzed cheeks were not altogether dry. our men felt the import of the occasion and realized how fully they would have been affected if defeat and surrender had been their lot after such a fearful struggle. what the english romantic poet william wordsworth called the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings tends not to be a favorite topic of conversation among many american

then there is the whole matter of john b gordon's role in the story of the salute. if we say chamberlin made up the story, disregarding any claims of integrity, must we then say the same of gordon? a u.s. senator and governor of georgia? it is easy to be cynical especially where politicians are concerned. it would be easy, for example to explain chamberlain. and gordon not to be outdone ordered his monde -- men to attention also. during the postwar, the two men collaborated to spin out a reconciliation each for his own political reasons and i bent it. if we take a cynical line on a story of appomattox, we might be implied to see artifice in chamberlin's own success of represented of gordon. chamberlin began polishing his account of gordon's response to his salute and it reaches final form repeated in the passing of the armies. i am back on page eight in version five about seven or eight lines from the end. gordon at the head of the column writing with heavy spirit and downcast they catch is the sound of shifting arms, looks up, and takes the meaning, making with him

was it from reading john locke tran chard and gordon? i never heard of these men he responded. then why did you fight? and here was his answer: what we meant in going for those redcoats was this we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. they didn't mean we should. and that, i think summed up the feelings of a great many americans. they wanted to govern themselves, and that was the direction they had been moving toward since the stamp act crisis. so war was underway, and war was the great radicallizer. if people like washington and jefferson and sam and john adams were gradually radicalized after 1765 a great many other people were really radicalized once the war began. simply the fact that the king's soldiers were trying to kill colonists and in many cases succeeding in killing colonists was regarded as betrayal. here were colonists who had been loyal to great britain for 150 years, who had furnished thousands of men in earlier wars on behalf of great britain who had helped great britain score this great victory over france and spain in 1763 and gobble up half of
