the "number 45" associated with the offending publication became synonymous with the name of "john wilke wilkes" on both sidf the atlantic. because of the fact that truth resonates with people, truth resonates particularly with those people who believe in freedom, people on both sides of the atlantic understood that john wilkes' cause was a just cause and that he should be congratulated for this. it was the example of john wilkes that was still well-known at the time of the american revolution. it was still fresh in the minds of the american people at the time the constitution was drafted in 1787. in fact, by the time that it was ratified and took effect a couple of years later and by the time that the fourth amendment was drafted and then ratified a couple of years after that. they americans and these patriots on the other side of the atlantic understood this very same principle that our liberty and our privacy, on the one hand, are not inevitably incompatible, irreconcileably at odds with our security and our protection. the two can be balanced. but that balance has been struck. that b

in it he openly endorsed black person inading one ,he audience, john wilkes booth to assassinate him three days 1865, putting 14, vice president andrew johnson in the white house. hallon's reconstruction was different. the issue two proclamations on may 29, 1865. first, restored property rights with some exemptions to those who pledged loyalty to the union, and act we essence and emancipation, and the second outlined a reconstruction plan for north airliner. the thinking being it starts in north carolina, would go to other states after that's. here johnson appointed a aovisional governor to create new government and enrolled voters to create a new constitution. critically, the voters included people who were on the list only 1861, the date of secession. and who agreed to a loyalty oath. are there any black people on the south, on the voting rolls prior to may 20, 1861? possibly. basically none in the state california. this was confining suffrage writ large to white men in the south. northern visitors to the south in the months after these proclamations were often deeply critical of t

moment of uncertainty, but to a surprising .egree, they hold the other thing i found is that we know john wilkes booth is in the audience went lincoln gave his last famous speech with you jesters -- where he jesters he might accept black suffrage. booth at this moment says i am going to run lincoln through, this is a lashing out against the possibility of lack civil rights and all of that is true. but americans at the time, as they received the news of his assassination, didn't know about this booth subplot. so this assassination was a response to the surrender that booth had been infuriated by the south's defeat, and then he was lashing out to rob lincoln of his fruits of victory. so the context for the assassination in the eyes of almost all northerners, we have lost sight of that. the connection between the surrender and the assassination. they believe booth was trying to undo the union victory at that moment. any other questions? comments? sure. appomattox and all those places in the nation remain. do you want to remain -- revive that in some way? having to put on a billboard? elizabeth varo

he has this marvelous chapter of the civil war where john wilkes booth is wearing he's going to kill lincoln after he makes a speech saying maybe we should allow african-americans to vote and then it ends with the next chapter starting the aftermath of the assassination. one of the great dramatic moments is completely offstage. it's such a powerful effect and it makes it more powerful.d so i thought, i want to have the impact of little big corn there, but i don't want to focus on it. i don't want to get swallowed up by such a huge event and make my book about that. how do i do that. so having it take place offstage was actually a way of saying yes it's important, but also i can can never take you there. not only is this book not about that, but it's such a complex and difficult to understand event. so let's not even try. let's just show how americans struggled with it. then leave people within incomplete understanding because that is all we will ever have. >> i can almost see a movieer, w producer in hollywood sang custer, custer why do we want to do custer. everybody knows how it en
