there is no love lost between jackson and john quincy adams. jackson's supporters don't call john quincy adams are excellently -- your excellency. they call him their fraudulent seat. so it's this huge scandal. to the point where rachael becomes increasingly religious with every passing year. health diminishes to the point where now all these scandals about her are really affecting her mental-health and a physical off. she is hoping and praying that jackson doesn't win, the she does not to go to the white house so that her scandal becomes a national story and not just -- she's helping, writing letters. as a water has been to win, does one go there. i'll say, be careful what you wish for. right after jackson was the election, before the inauguration and 1829, she dies a broken heart. jackson says my opponents, they tried the killer. she's buried on christmas eve in the gown is going to where to the inaugural. jackson goes to the inauguration , and there sell to pay. says that my wife, this angel who would ever given my enemies. the scandal contin

john quincy adams, featured here is, i think, a kind of iconic here wrote of the amistad case. i must tell you, he played an externally important role, but nothing happened without the actions of this man and those other 52 africans on board the vessel. theirs was the actions that said everything else in motion. so i wanted to return to that. i also wanted to question what had seemed to me to become one of the main arguments about the amistad case. that was, it was a great success story about the american legal system. the fact that the supreme court could rule in their favor proved that the american legal system was the hero of the case alongside john quincy adams to which i ask, do you mean the same legal system that was holding to of a half million people in bondage at that moment? that is the hero of the story? i don't think so. i think we have to go back and look at the rebellion itself and especially to look at those africans who made the rebellion. so we have in both history and film is actually very good history from above, history that stresses the likes of john quincy

john quincy adams, the only former president to return to serve in the house spoke out against slavery. today we also remember an event that took place outside of this building. the passage of the historic civil rights laws. we are honored to have witnessed a colleague, congressman john lewis was a speaker at that historic march. >> [applause] >>shows the courage and sacrifice that has made our nation great. please stand and take about so we all can recognize a. you >> [applause] >> behind us the painting we have chosen for this luncheon is niagara falls. painted in 1856. never fails to inspire a tremendous offer the natural beauty of our great country. then and now the mighty fall symbolizes the grandeur, power and possibility of america. i want to thank my former senate partner are a great secretary of state hillary clinton for allowing us to borrow this beautiful paintings from the state department collection. frankly we are not here for the paintings. we're here for the food. the theme of today's ceremony is based in america's future, today is a menu. from the new england lobster t

book of laws and john quincy adams was the only president to do that.hat religious, my position is not anti-bible or anti-god. this is the basis of our government and our genesis. and there is nothing more powerful than the president putting his hand on the u.s. constitution. it's our supreme law of the land. >> jennifer: but he is taking an oath to uphold the constitution. >> sure, we all know it's symbolic, but why not -- this is the supreme law of the land religion is part of me but it's not what i'm going to go to. he is not rick sanatorium he is a religious man. >> jennifer: sure, i get that. you are a performer. i'm curious what you thought about the performance of day, the delivery of this. normally you start a big speech with a couple of jokes. but you don't do that with the inauguration. >> not one president has ever told a joke in their inauguration. they tell jokes at the conventions, campaign trail, state of the union, even debates -- >> jennifer: it's so solemn. >> open a joke with what are all of you people doing my backyard something?

john adams came up with a bunch, caucus which he gets from an indian term. spec, meaning i something on speculation. don quixote, john quincy adams, when he was pretty much -- when it came to the alien and sedition acts, he came up with the word gag rule. so you see with the early presidents, this ability to sort of watch things and write them down and use them. so when george washington looked up the word and can, you'll find about word is accredited to george washington. washington came up with these words at a very early time. [inaudible] this is part of our early culture. of course, the fact that we had webster to write this all down is rather amazing. webster comes up with his first dictionary in 1807 and there are two words that really bother the british. congressional and presidential and they say that there is no reason you it should be in the dictionary. between 18 1807 1807 and a second edition, he knows that this is the stuff that is not in english dictionary at the time. there was the sort of democratic background. and there are things, for example, jefferson creates, which are hysterical. he comes up with twist

the guy leaving office didn't want to even talk to some of the guys coming in, namely john adams, jefferson, john quincy adams and andrew jackson. >> it's a big marker the way the presidency and even the inauguration as a major reflection of the american presidency in american culture has shown the development of the idea of america across times. the very beginning and the first couple of decades this is probably the most rancorous period of american politics in our history where you have the guys going together in the battles for the white house. whereas we might be more negative about the tenor of political debate niece days but in the end it -- these days but in the end it comes down to a peaceful transition of what you'll see today. the jowndz tones are gone -- the undertones are gone. >> it's completely evolved from a ceremonial standpoint. from washington there were a few people and as we moved through the centuries, wow. hollywood is here. it's a big evolution over time. >> colonial williamsburg we like to talk about the idea of america, a lot about the founding principles. here is where you actu

the electoral college rules allowed for john quincy adams and others to lose the popular vote but stillident of the united states and all but adams have something else in common. they are all republicans. now in 2013, the republican party is fighting back. a popular vote loser could become president much more often thanks to these efforts in republican-controlled states. so lawmakers in florida, wisconsin, michigan virginia, and pennsylvania, the republican lawmakers, have all floated ways of advocating electoral votes by congressional district. this is a sneaky grabby the republicans. so if they got this -- if this were allowed to happen according to a "huffington post" analysis if all 50 states followed the republican rule rigging, november's election could have gone from this, a presidential reelection in a 332-to 206 electoral college landslide to this. despite losing by 3.5 million popular votes to president obama. now this map is a scary thought. and it is certainly one more reason to keep an eye on those state houses. joining me now to talk about the game changing plans by republ

. >> bill: now the only exceptions to using the bible were john quincy adams in 1825 and teddy roosevelt in 19 used the baseball in second inauguration. there is a move to remove the bible from the inauguration. on monday he will place his hands on two bibles. one from abraham lincoln and the other from dr. martin luther king jr. andrew seattle who is with the freedom from religion foundation. mr. stittle, abraham lincoln and dr. king too two amazing american icons you want to take their bibles and remove them from the ceremony. >> i much prefer dr. king's writing on the letter from the birmingham jail where he talks about the white church standing on the sideline mouthing trivialalities and pyes irrelevancy while he does the work of the civil rights movement. >> bill: you must know that dr. king invoked god in almost every speech that he made. >> article 2 section one of the constitution which lays out the oath does not say anything about the word so help me god. it says i will preserve to the best of my ability, preserve, defend and protect the states period. it's kind of ironic that t

the three are john quincy adams who put his hand on a book of laws. and calvin coolage and franklin. it was accustom not to put your hand on a bible. so only three. >> what i didn't know and i don't think i knew nor did i see happening where the hand is. that is all very thought out too. >> right. everything is a message during the inauguration. beyond the speech. for example, the first inaugural parade to have african american was abraham lincoln in 1865. the first to have women marching was woodrow wilson. the people are thinking through the symbolism of the event and what they want to communicate to the country. >> younger people may think that the inaugural ceremonies always took place on the west front of the capitol and that's only during recent times. >> only 32 years old. ronald reagan shifted it . he wanted to look out toward his native california. but before that it was on the east front and a very different view. so to go back and look at the pictures before 1981, very different pictures from what you have today. >> anything stand out to yo

one was john quincy adams, even though avenues devout christian, read the bible every day wanted to take, to signal the distinction between church and state u >> four have not quincy adams on a book of laws? >> franklin pierce also on a book of law. partly we think because he lost his last child only a couple of months before the inauguration. his wife was in bereavement and he affirmed the oath rather than swore to it which the constitution -- the next was theodore roosevelt. a long time and that's because he took office after the death of the president and he was in a hotel in buffalo and apparently, they didn't have gideons' bibles around. he was the next one. and so, you look at those, three the last is lbj, who, of course, after another assassination, they had a catholic missile that he took the oath on. scattered throughout american history. >> have presidents invoked religion in their addresses, always? >> every president has invoked god or a deity in general, but not very specifically. none has actually mentioned jesus christ, four have invoked christianity. also uneven. >> has r

andrew jackson, when he becomes president -- john quincy adams is also in the old house chamber -- andrew, the man of the people, the great hero, the hero of the war of 1812, fighting in that last battle in new orleans that we are about to have the bicentennial of -- he draws a large crowd to washington, dc he becomes president in 1829, and he stands outside on the steps of the capital, and that begins a tradition from andrew jackson, to jimmy carter, of presidents of the united states standing on the east front steps of the capital. if you can imagine the capital, the capital, though -- capital's primary entrance is on the east front. e-book booking the other side is the front of the capital. -- people think the other side is the front of the capital. the capital has no front. the west front, looking down the mall, which is now a magnificent this do, did not look anything like that in the 19th century. that west front was not developed, nor was the mall developed. inaugurations were done on the east front, and that involves building a platform. because it got bigger and bigger, as you ar

john adams came up with a bunch. caucus which he gets from an indian term. spec meaning to buy something on speculation. quixotic meaning in a matter of don quixote for. john quincy adams in the alien sedition act he came up with -- he needed a name for what was going on and came up with the word eggroll. that was his so you see in the early presidents, this ability to sort of watch things and write them down and use them. so when george washington in the oxford english dictionary fico in it today and look up the word tin can you'll find that is credited to george washington. bakery and bake were washington's words. washingtwashingt on came up with these words at a very early time when the bakery bakehouse like a smokehouse. it was the distillery and a bakehouse but in washington's diary he came up with bakery. so this was part of our early -- on it and of course the fact that we had webster to write this all down was amazing. webster comes up with his first dictionary in 1807 and there are two words that really bothered the british. those are congressional and presidential. between 18,071st dictionary and his second dictionary in 1820 webster goes to england and

that was andrew jackson versus john quincy adams. this question of, are we one nation or are we a bunch of states? this is what divided the federalist and anti-federalist in supportinsupportin g the constitution. is what divided the federalist with the republicans and the founding era. it divided the whig's. the republicans in the legs of the democrats of the next-generation. we have always had some people who see the united states primarily as a group of states in contact with each other and other people who see it as a union, and the administrative districts within that union. the idea that the founders had incoherent position about state rights. all of them thought the same thing, requires you to pretend that they didn't have elections back them. that is what their elections were about. >> host: antrum parties in different elections. >> guest: different parties wanted different things. i think generally the southerners were more confederated. they saw this mrsa compact and the northerners i think are more -- side is the nation. ha

adams came over, that was john quincy adams, former president. mr. adams came over. we played chess. i read, she read mary shelly, frankenstein, and she thought that was very morbid. she went to the market and played 12 cents for a dozen eggs. she wrote down everything that she, all of her purchases. so for recreating daily life this was an extraordinary source and made me realize that i was going to be able to recreate daily life in a very intimate, realistic way. i didn't want to write a book about congress and politicians. i wanted to write a book about the way people lived in washington. this became kind of a mission in mind as i got into this research, to write a book really about living in washington and not about washington politics. the daily newspapers were an abundant source of information because there were so many of them and you had these different tendencies. they would look at things slightly differently. and you could get a lot of information that way. and then i spent a lot of time in the national archives and i found the docket book of the court, fo

i have the privilege of speaking for a man i know will continue in the tradition of john quincy adams and christian herder as great secretaries from the commonwealth of massachusetts. although john learned much about diplomacy overseas and in the senate, he would be the first to tell you that massachusetts is also a great teacher of diplomatic skills, whether it was negotiating his way to make the ballot as a long-shot underdog in a five-way heavily contested state convention back in 1982, or the way he brought labor and management to the table, locked the parties in his senate office over a long weekend, brought in dunkin' donuts and negotiated an end to the 92-day long brockton teac r teachers nurses strike. if anyone wants to learn diplomacy, come try massachusetts politics. john certainly has. john's story is well known to many of us from his youth as the son of a foreign service officer, seeing diplomacy up close and learning about foreign policy around the dinner table each night to his service and combat in vietnam. less well known is the story of his foreign policy work inside

john adams came up with a bunch, caucus which he gets from an indian term, speck meaning to buy something on spec, speculation. quixotic meaning in the manner of don quixote. that was adams. john quincy adams when he was of pretty much, when we came to the alien and sedition acts, he came up with the term -- needed a name for what was going on, and he came up with the word "gag rule." that was his. so you see in the early presidents this ability to sort of watch things and write them down and use them. so when george washington in the oxford english dictionary if you go in there today and look up the word "tin can," you will find that that word is credited to george washington. bakery and bake were washington's words. washington came up with these words at a very early time when the bakery was a bakehouse like a smokehouse. it was a distill erie and there was a bakehouse, but then in washington's diary it became a bakery. so this was part of our early -- and, of course, the fact that we had webster to write this all down is rather amazing. webster comes up with, noah webster comes up with his first dictionary in 1807. there are two words that really, really bother the british x those
