but john jay, george washington, thomas jefferson. alexander hamilton. james madison. ben franklin. all were slave holders. john jay's influence on the founding of the republic is is hard to underestimate. he was the inaugural chief justice of the us supreme court. he was president the continental congress during the war. he was secretary of foreign affairs after the war, and he negotiated two of the nation's most important early treaties, the 1783 piece of paris that confirmed our independence and the 1795 treaty with great britain that bears his name, the jay treaty, to this nature, to this day. he's also one of the principal authors of new york's first constitution and one of the leading advocates of the ratification of the us constitution in this state. and as i already mentioned, he was a two term governor of new york, his anti-slavery resume is not quite as spectacular, but really important. as i said, was the first president of, the new york manumission society, one of the first anti-slavery societies in the western world. he was governor, as i mentioned, when new york passed

thomas jefferson called him a dangerous man, and john quincy adams once said jackson was a barbarianho could not write a sentence of grammar, and hardly could spell his own name. jackson's defender such as ehrenberg described him as a man of intelligence and one of those prompt, frank, ardent souls who out love to meet. in his mid-20's, he met and fell in love with his landlord's recently divorced daughter, rachel donaldson. while she was described later in life is a dowdy woman who smoked a pipe, in her youth that she was considered both beautiful and popular. she and jackson married in 1791 and later adopted a son, andrew jackson junior. shortly after their wedding, they learned that her divorce had not been finalized. despite their legal remarriage in 1794, the couple he was greatly ostracized in social circles in the years that followed. in fact, the scandal surrounding their marriage provided much fodder for jackson's political opponents during his first presidential campaign. when his wife died shortly before his inauguration on december 28, 1828, jackson blamed them for her un

john excuse me, who believe then that thomas lincoln, his father, had a hand in lincoln's anti-slaveryhoughts, even though he had to be a slave catcher by law. sometimes i do. i do. in the sense that it created an ethos in which when lincoln heard about slavery, it is safe to presume that it was anti-slavery, not necessarily because all these folks were morally righteous, but thomas lincoln, poor white farmer, an aristocracy of race against his economic interests. and so i do believe that the sermons are possibly possibly i can't prove this but we know that memorized sermons and repeated them it's not impossible that they included anti-slavery elements. i don't want to be baptized. it was bound. be very clear i'm not posh again. i'm trying to posthumously turn him into some kind of conventional christian or a unitarian crusader. he was not that. but if is naturally something, then it's incumbent on us as historians try to figure out what he meant and the first exposure to slavery. we believe he arguably saw slave transport, traffic on the cumberland road. he would have been his parents

jim and john flies in india where he's met that way that thomas and moody left shows had previously stated that the main purpose of his trip was to deepen cooperation between the 2 countries. but the chancellor also sees the chance to take a swing at no in the top, the world is suffering as a consequence of russia's aggression. that's the cooperation between both our countries is of great importance and there are a host of areas in which we can deepen and enhance our cooperation on a very important question is securing the supply of food and energy. we have to make sure that countries in asia, africa, in america, not too strongly and negatively impacted by the terrible war of aggression that russia started against ukraine. and that the impact is not too negative for them supply shortages. thus, the one priority of our work is visit highlights. new delhi is growing importance to western powers. if they see banking for the opposition to moscow. germany is pivot to india is particularly significant given the south asian countries close ties to russia. it's key energy supplier throughout the t

the new frontier, and they explore a story beckoning to what thomas jefferson called the inimitable freedom of the human mind. the poet john gillespie mcgee. understood that exhilaration as to a lesser degree, have all who flaunt and attract a new frontier and a new place surely felt and understood by our own beloved colleague bill nelson, who only such short days ago experienced the various fame. and he wrote all i have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on a laughter silvered winged sunward. i have climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split cloud and that one did things. you have not dreamed of, wailed and soared and swung high and sunlit. silence hovering there. i've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through fruitless halls of air up, up the long, delirious, burning blue i've topped the windswept heights with the easy grace where never lark or even the eagle flew and why i was silent lifting in mind i have trod high on trespassed sanctity of space put out my hand and touched the face of god with hearts heavy and trauma and deeply felt sorrow. the nation today pays honor a

arriving in philadelphia here at a banquet hosted by pennsylvania delegate thomas mifflin, paine offers a timely toast. the john adams duly records quote, i. i love this way. the collision of british flint and american steel produced that spark of liberty which will illuminate the latest posterity. yes, lock, stock and barrel. the metaphor suits the times and expresses paine scientific bent and lifelong fascination with powder that is, powder used in firearms and or in fireworks, but not necessarily the powder used for wigs. meanwhile, back in taunton, while the continental congress is meeting patriotism is on fire. bob's sister writes, we all rejoice that our whole continent have been so happy in their choice of patriots to compose this noble assembly. the sons of liberty wanted to set a flag of liberty upon your house to honor you, but were prevented by the doctor. that is david cobb, who was a doctor. sally cobb, paine's brother. but all is not lost of that flag. the taunton, the sons of liberty flag has been called the earliest national banner. it still flies there instead of hanging limp on this front door
