i'm not she said yeah john thomas even killed john thomas, but on the islands up and up in the saint lawrence. they are i think was surreal. basically, there was there was a smallpox camp in the middle island, and it was just full of bodies and and and to these people, i mean that the fact that the fact that he began in spring of 77, maybe early winter 77 with the smallpox camps. i that may i think that may use difference. i mean just just after your town. i mean, you know, we had this huge victory at yorktown and then i think is where i think is john house diary and a lot of other counts the army is being decimated by. well somebody smallpox, but also i think my other diseases i think it was typhus and other things that as a as they headed north from from yorktown to head back to to the northern states. they were being dropped off at different different different parts and i mean to philadelphia hospitals and barracks were full of these guys. and yeah it i think it really would have been a real mess and if you've ever read about if you ever read about the effect of smallpox have on

john thomas was more emphatic. he wrote, in the regiment at roxbury, they were equal to any that i saw. we have old men and boys. we have a few negroes. many of them have proved themselves brave. europeans were also complimentary. in december 1776 the german officer wrote of the american revolutionary forces -- wrote in july of 1781 i have the experience to see the american army man for man. it's really painful to see the brave men with trousers and jackets. most of them without stockings, but would you believe it for a cheerful and healthy so now we'll look a bit more into numbers. in august 1778 a tally was made of the number of black soldiers in general george washington's >> now while that proportion may seem small, black soldiers were serve in regiments equal or undersized compared to other continental regiments. they represented 2.4% of the american population. flow african-americans were well represented in regards of the military service. the new jersey and rhode island regiments are not represented. the nu

massachusetts general john thomas was more emphatic. he wrote in the regimenson roxbury the privates were equal to any that i served with last war very few old men in the right first you boys. we have some negroes but a look on them in general equally serviceables other men for fatigue in an action many of them have proved himself brave. europeans were also complementary. in december 1777 the german officer wrote of the american revolutionary forces negro can take the field in his master's place. hence. you never see your regimen in which they're not a lot of negroes and there are well-built built strong husky fellows among them. and the barrack baron ludwig went close and a decamp to french general rochambeau wrote in july 1781. i had a chance to see the american army man for man. it is really painful to see those brave men almost naked with at least some trousers little than jackets most of them without stockings, but would you believe it for a cheerful and healthy and appearance is incredible, but incredible the soldiers composed of

that left john adams the short lawyer who was an outspoken advocate for independence and thomas jefferson the tall sandy head planter who had a reputation as a writer. but who would barely set a word on the congress floor so far? now john adams later recalled that these two men actually bickered and argued about which one of them shouldn't do the work. and who the other person should be who should lead the drafting who should be the lead draftsman and to reconstruct that exciting conversation? we are going to do some theater. live on c-span. i'm going to call up to randomly selected volunteers chuck. could you come around catherine? could you come around? yes, give them a hand of the floors round of applause as they come up. now adams later wrote or reconstruction of the conversation the bickering the argument that supposedly happened between thomas jefferson say hello thomas jefferson. hello, thomas, jefferson and between you'll find and between. oh, we've come here. why do we move you around you were right the first time catherine you write the first time the conversation between thomas

the way back to thomas jefferson, who perhaps was the last politician to say, i'd rather have the media, the government. i'd rather have a corrupt media that a corrupt government, john paraphrasing, thomas jefferson. but after that, most politicians have blamed the media when it didn't go their way of a could. spiro agnew in richard nixon. you won't have nixon to kick around anymore . we just tend to think that the now is, is like no other time before it's difficult running a democracy and it's difficult having a 1st amendment. everybody's for the 1st amendment, if it's protecting something they agree with. but a were very quick to make exceptions, you know, yelling fire in a crowded rooms takes in a lot more than fire these days. so i see this again as a transitional period. i don't, i don't see us going to hell in a handbasket at all. i think that we're just learning how to be mature as a society that is democratic, but does have a lot of conflicting points of view, which is to be expected in a country. a number grants in a country of freedom and a country that is open to discussion about various points of view. donald trump just exaggerated everything by the, the

of the men in this room are not very happy to see john adams standing up there, the other half of the men in the room are not very happy to see thomas jefferson standing up there and generally speaking nobody is very happy that george washington is leaving us in this time. so john adams would look around the room and see a lot of people who weren't very happy. he would see people with tears in their eyes that washington was leaving them and he kind of would later say he only saw one person that particularly looked happy which was george washington who had a look on his face that said john adams you are fairly in and i am fairly out so now let's find out who is the happier on this day. but washington would quietly go to private life and i think very happily withdraw from the scene. adams himself would be inaugurated. he would have a difficult presidency because now really we're seeing the throes of political fighting going on, but it happened peacefully. we proved that constitution worked and we proved that we could continue in times of difficulty like this so that we could continue forward with the system in place. in 1800 they woul

the bickering and the arguing that happened between thomas jefferson and john adams. if i am remembers correctly, the conversation began like this "will you write". >> "i will not." >> you should write it. >> oh, no. >> why not? you ought to do it. >> i will not. >> why? >> reasons enough. >> what can be your reasons? >> reason one, you're a virginian and a virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. reason two, i'm obnoxious, suspect, and unpopular. you are very much otherwise. reason three. you can write ten times better than i can. >> well if you are decided, i will do as well as i can. >> very well. when you have drawn it up, we will have a meeting. >> thank you. >> that took 30 minutes of rehearsal that is the conversation according to john adams about the bickering, when john adams was asked if that is how it happened he said absolutely not. they met for the next few days to outline what exactly this document should contain but they left it to jefferson to write it up on his own. and he did as he was told. he wrote quickly, he used a portable writing

it should have been john adams, thomas jefferson. we had some remarkable renaissance men, well educated, well-traveled, extraordinary intellects. it was not then that identified these core problems and came up with the solution. it wasng the one man among them who was not well-traveled was not well educated. he spent his time in barbados. it was washington. i think it was the creativity the innovation to think outside of the box., so here for the proms i focus on trade number one comment the government was not going to endure. as soon as the revolutionary war was ending and march of 1783 at the headquarters in newburgh, along the hudson in new york there was a mutiny. a newburghha conspiracy. and as david noted and bust out in his book, their efforts to remove washington. washington is realizing just as we are ready to seize victory were going to snatch feet from jaws of victory. that in june of 1780 as a mutiny in philadelphia group of u unpaid veterans drunks pull out of pubs in philly and they surround and dependence hall threatin

this is when thomas jefferson and john adams are running against each other. were other candidates as well. to understand why "notes on the state of virginia" was so important, we have to talk about how campaigning worked in that time. today when someone runs for president, they want their name everywhere. they want to be on tv and twitter and make their case directly to voters. it was the opposite of that. early in our history, it was the complete opposite. if you went out to everyone and said, "i want to be president," that was proved to most voters that you were not the right person to run for president. the idea was that you should be humble. you should be called to serve. it should be other people advocating for you and your ideas. so most presidents stayed home and stayed quiet. there was a public silence around john adams and thomas jefferson. that's a vacuum. something needs to fill it. that is where "notes on the state of virginia" came in. it sold the equivalent of half million copies. it was one of the most important books any american wrote in the

john adams standing up there. the other half of the men in the room are not very happy to see thomas general person standing up there. and generally speaking, nobody's very happy that george washington is leaving us in this time. so, john adams are gonna look around the room and see a lot of people who are not very happy. people with tears in their eyes, that washington was leaving them and he kind of would later say that as he looked around he only saw one person that day who particularly looked happy. which was of course george washington who had a look on his face and said, john adams you are fairly in, i am fairly out. so, now let's find out who's been happy on this day. but washington worked quietly. he would go to private life. and, i feel very happy to withdraw from the scene, he said. adam silver we not curated. he would have a difficult presidency because now really we're seeing the throws of political fighting going on. but it happened peacefully. we proved it he can continue an in times of difficulty like this, that we could continue forward with the system in place. in 1800, i would leave this building a

country -- heeded, our country was born july 4, three of our founding fathers died on july 4, thomas jefferson, johnred founding fathers. each of the three served as president. each of them died on july 4. the symmetry is innes cable, they lift the earth on america's birthday, it could be fate a way of reminding us, what is born can die, those who believe that democracy has a shelf life. there are those who resented the power strength and ideals of the country, i see it differently, men and women do die, but the good news for america, is we're not a nation of men and women, we're a nation of laws. and laws are derived from the truth. and the truth need not ever day, we 245 years old today. that is 3 times the life expectancy of an american born today. but there snow life expectancy -- there no life expectancy on the truth or freedom there is no life expectancy on creator of the truth. we can and will survive and flourish as a country and celebrate birthdays, so long as we hold these truths to be self evident. all men and women are endowed by their create or with certain unable inable rights, we'll c

well, the answer -- if you got this, you're good -- the answer was john adams, thomas jeff and james monroe. adams and jefferson both died on the 4th of july, 1826, and monroe died on july 4, 1831. so on that the very uplifting note, i'll turn itover to hi good friend, neil cavuto. neil, take it away. neil: you know, i covered the signing of the declaration of independence -- [laughter] those guys, they were cut-ups. finish thank you, my friend. have a wonderful and a safe weekend. all right, ashley, we're watching the same thing you are, some records on wall street. the s&p at another one-year and the dow up better than 111 points all on this much better than expected jobs report. we're going to get into that in some detail. we have some orr goodies including the guy who heads up the virgin orbit, that's, of course, richard branson's venture. he's going to be going into space. dan hart on what's at take and how many thinks he will beat that other billionaire. by the way, where's elon musk on all of this? we'll see. we'll also be giving you an update on not only what's happening this

these ideas about women had their roots less in the theories of john lock and thomas payne that had informed the rebellion itself and more on the ideas of a scottish enlightenment and intellectual school of thought developed by david hume, adam smith, and others. in place of political equality, liberty's daughters were being given social equality. if that seems like a consolation prize, it was. though it failed utterly to address women's legal status, the historical construct we call republican motherhood did have some good effects. it recognized politics and domesticity. so you could be a domestic and political person. it justified women's continuing political education and awareness, if not their actual involvement. another good side effect of this post-revolutionary discourse was a rise in the educational opportunities for girls. men such as physician and reformer benjamin rush stressed the need for these new potential republican mothers to be educated. not as men were to be taught and certainly not to fulfill their own intellectual potential but for women to be fit companions for men and

guest: john adams and thomas jefferson. they were adversaries throughout life. they were great founders of our nation. we should be celebrating thomas jefferson today for the declaration of independence. ironically thomas jefferson on his tombstone did not want to be known as the president of the united states. he was more proud of author of the declaration and being a founder of the university of virginia and other aspects of his career. jefferson i think should be higher than he has been coming out recently because of the one big thing he did -- the louisiana purchase when he doubled the size of america in one swoop of diplomacy. it is such a game changer what jefferson did. one thing i want viewers to understand is jefferson does not get credit in the polls for doing the declaration of independence because that was before he became president. on the fourth, john adams and jefferson, one of their i call it low simmering intellectual feuds was where did the american revolution start? adams believed it began with the boston tea party and boston massacre, that it
