here's a quote from john thomas, a republican political strategist who had been organizing a pac to supports. it couldn't be clearer, if trump wants it at this point i don't see how it's not his. it will be a coronation at this point, not a primary. so david plouffe's one of the smartest people i know in politics, i always take him seriously, but there's a view on the republican side that's what this guy is saying that like the people who are thinking about running against trump are looking at the way the party's coalesing around him in this moment and saying, i don't know, i mean, it was always going to be a long shot. maybe there's no shot now. is that what you're hearing in your reporting on the republican field? >> well, certainly, john, the party's coalesced around trump in this moment in the last, you know, 48 hours but the election, the beginning of the presidential nomination process is more than a year away. that's a really long time and a lot more information can come out between in addition, there's no contest. there's no choice right now, so voters when they're asked by pollster

john adams doesn't get free speech. thomas jefferson gets a. his partner madison gets it even more and they champion freedom of speech against this john adams informed a political party that will be the dominant political party all the way to abe blinken to you and i and people who are political have to respect that. he creates a newspaper empire, affiliated newspapers is a poor his way of thinking about the world he secretly funds. he creates fox news network in a way, so he understands the democratic newspaper culture of america, he's always telling madison don'tt write off as against hamilton's for them to shreds. he's to good a newspaper scribbler. he got go after them so there's a reason he's on mount rushmore now. i criticized him because something that's really important to me, the slavery issue, he gets worse over time. he found a political party, basically a southern base, here's the relevance of this today. todayy there's a party, both parties have the so i will talk about the republican party. i'm with lizzie cheney. i think in the en

thomas paine 700 sailed for america and 1802, after president john adams, critics lost his reelection mandate, to thomas jefferson. that ds and democrat like pain. but still coming to america, it turned out to be a picture homecoming. and thomas paine disembarked in baltimore, and that refused to accommodate him and keeping him away from american radicalism and become a dirty word in america and the french revolution it, was a great part to blame. in the french revolution had begun, back in 1589, many american us and welcomed it at first, but after louis pierre began gillis healing it and conservative and will became known as the land of terror, many american patriots enter the colony to the event unfolding. so then thomas paine, the french nationalism i turn up, in 1802 card and american conservatives took to trying to smear him as a drunk and to discredit his political views and openly accusing him of being an agitator who is only come back to bring down at the federal government of the united states and kickstart in america land of terror. and most of his conservative and enemies t

you know, i mean john adams famously did not attend thomas jefferson's inauguration in 1800, although to be fair. there wasn't a tradition yet yet established of a defeated president attending his successors inauguration and andrew johnson. same thing did not attend ulysses grants inauguration, but i think from then at least up to 1990s. people were i mean there was definitely frostiness. i mean hoover and roosevelt were not very friendly to each other and carter was pretty devastated. i don't think he talked a lot to reagan in the car on the way. it was inauguration, but i think there was a tradition of the parties coming together at least initially. i mean, that's why we talk about presidential honeymoons. i mean there was an effort to give the new president a chance. it doesn't mean we're going to vote for everything but we're gonna let you establish yourself in office and i think that really started changing again in the 1990s. you know, we talked about the roots of today's polarization and and part of it goes back to the 1960s and the rise of social and cultural issues that have

so you'll see names such as john simpson several thomas jefferson's age jefferson davis a private h25, but all so more traditional names like cubby or ehan tubby or hiyo. kanubi. you see these blended names right where there's a euro a european route of a name, but then combined with choctaw language name and then you also see surnames of prom families within the choctaw political arenas so the fulsom's laforce and mccurtains are important families that produce district or principal chiefs and the choctaw nation during the 19th century. so again something as simple as these names on these enlistment records can reveal a broader changes that we're taking place in choctaw society. the age data on soldiers from the first choctaw and chickasaw mounted rifles also provides some opportunity for comparison with similar data on american soldiers and i'll just summarize to say that choctaw soldiers the average age of enlistees was just a little bit older than the average age of enlistees in the union army and then based on what little data we have on confederate soldiers. that jim mcpherson ha

he was served on a committee in congress to design a seal, along with thomas jefferson and john adams. but he did not propose the turkey, he proposed something entirely different and i'm not going to tell you what it was, or who it was because i want you to read the book. [laughs] but, the other myth is who, or the other misunderstanding about the bald eagle, and the national bird is we do not have a national bird. a national bird has never been appointed, if you will, by congress or the president as congress has selected the bison to be the national mammal and the oak to be the national tree. congress has never anointed the ball the eagle as the national bird. it is legitimately a national symbol, and it is a powerful one, as we know, and it required six years, three congressional committees, and 14 men who are delegates in the continental congress, as well as consultants and artists to finally get to this. that committee i mentioned with jefferson, adams, and franklin. that was the first committee that was appointed to design a seal. and they failed miserably. as did a second commit

divisive elections in our nation's history was the election hundred president john adams ultimately lost to vice president thomas jefferson. and while the transfer of power was ultimately peaceful. adams did forego his successors inauguration. i think that's also happened another time or two, but i won't bring that up. and those two men actually remained at odds for many many years. it was only later during their retirement. did they actually rekindle their friendship? discussing many different topics in their correspondence including the topic of death adams actually wrote to jefferson in 1822 these words quote. i answer your question. is death an evil? it is not an evil. is a blessing. to the individual and to the world yet we ought not to wish for it. to life becomes in supportable end quote he was 86 years old when he wrote this note. perhaps adams had become comfortable with the idea of leaving the world. but it was four years later. that both men adams and jefferson passed away on the same exact day july 4th 1826 and while he was not present when his father died john quincy adams later recorded his father'

the subject now is party politics and thomas paine took quickly to task and attacking john adams, and hamilton and the centralist party and in one newspaper column after another and defending jefferson and the democrat republicans as champions for the legacy. but to his great discussed, this proved to be utterly strength list while jefferson himself had thomas paine high regard throughout his life, jefferson's cause in the republican party regarded thomas paine as an embarrassment. and they kept their distance from him. they did the rest to disassociate the party from a man they now regarded as referentially out of step. and slightly more conservative and far more pilots where he had been away in thomas paine had been away in europe and it thomas paine last political tirade, appeared in print on the 25th of august, 1808. and by then, there was not much of thomas paine to be by then, there wasn't much of paine love to be scared of. he couldn't keep food down anymore. he suffered in continents and agonizing pain of his limbs and he was seized by terrorists. if he woke up in his room and

rebelled, that is, white colonists, the people in power, john hancock and john adams, in massachusetts, george washington, thomas jefferson, in virginia, they were pretty satisfied with their role in the british empire as of the year 1762. and it's these guys, the house of commons in their old meeting chamber here, who were dissatisfied and said, we want to make changes. and so, put that aside in the list to frame the whole discussion that we are really talking about the british grievances against the colonies. the things they wanted to change, and parliament did try to change, and the colonists resentment of those changes that would ultimately lead to revolution. so we will get to those, but brian, go on straight to the next one. next slide is the image that nicole was talking about, which, this is just north america east of the mississippi river. but as nicole pointed out, and i did too, most of that territory, even east of the mississippi, is still occupied by native americans at this time. and i base this map primarily on an atlas done by a scholar named helen horn vechten or, but she was mostly focused on t
