lee. scott never forgot the service that robert e lee had got during mexican war and the years between that war and the civil war, scott develops something of a surrogate father figure to robert lee. he assists in promoting members of the lee family, one of lee's sons really gets a commission in the u.s. army largely because winfield scott arranges it. he had a close relationship this way but nothing, nothing more cruelly disappointed for scott than when lee came to visit him in april of 1861 to tell him that he was going to turn down the offer of command and that he would resign his commission in the united states army. it was said that winfield scott took to his sofa weeping saying, i never want to hear the name of robert e lee again, well, that probably is somewhat but does give you a sense first of all the relationship between the two but secondly the disappointment that scott experienced when lee decided in fact, not to take up the command but in other circumstances scott might have w

lee. .. .. we will get into that in just a minute. willie was not necessarily a good father, is that correct? [laughter] he was a splendid calvary commander. especially light horse caring out calvary raids during all ykinds of small jobs like that. he was really very good at that. but as soon as the revolution was over any move back into civilian life, everything went from bad to worse. he made investments in western virginia land, that were the equivalent of buying ski resorts in bangladesh. they all went to nothing. it bankrupted him. he also chose the wrong politics of fort virginia. virginia was the virginia of thomas jefferson. center fleet was a federalist. in 1813 he was beaten within an inch of his life by a pro- jefferson mob in baltimore. taking both of those things together, decided other climes would be better so he left. i went to the west indies. he left when his son robert was six years old and robert never saw himt again. i think that is a major and traumatic moment in the

robert e lee is different. there is no standard edition of lee's letters and papers.that's a problem because lee was a compulsive letter writer. he wrote i would estimate somewhere between 6000 and me 8000 letters in his life . but they are not only a lot of them, they are scattered all over the place. little penny packets of papers here, leaf papers there. i have access to archives that run all the way from content more library in new york city to the huntington library and san marino in california. and at various points in between. even more maddening is how much lee material services on ebay and auction sites. there's a lot of lee letters and material that's still in private hands. there's no single addition of lee's works that makes life easier or a for a biographer. it also means you're liable to make some interesting discoveries which i did in the process of this. and sometimes when you're making interesting new discoveries,you're going to revise the conclusions that people have come to earlier . that makes you a revisionist. what are these new tools or new sour

lee's invincibility broken. just as important in strong's opinion means performance had shown quote the army the potomac is at last found a general that can handle it. and he has stood nobly up to its terrible work in spite of its long disheartening list of hard-fought failures and in spite of the mcclellan influence on its officers ty i think that strong would have agreed that we should rename mcclellan's installation now put it on the list yet strong soon lamented the fact that meat allowed lee's army to escape intact across the potomac river newspapers bragged far too loudly about our having broken the backbone of the rebellion. he wrote on august 8th 1863 the vertebrae of southern trees and still cohered as we may yet learn to our terrible cost especially if lee reinforces himself with the debris of rebellion from the southwest lee got away. that's the bottom line in the end for george templeton strong as it was. for abraham lincoln on july 14th in a letter written but never sent to mead although he knew tha

the lee money or the former lee monument the daughters of confederacy rallied around affects the women i wrote about in that first book who are part of the initial plans to build that monument starting in 1870 and after lee's death. >> right, right. anyway that is a different book. someone wants to order caroline's one of her earlier books we might have them, contact us. but today were going to talk about ends of war. if you have been following my social media post while he been reading the book the last month or so you know i am crazy about it. so much about this book hits me dead center i love this book. so let's just jump in and start talking about ends of war so folks watching at home can get an idea of what they can get if they decide to order this book. now caroline it is september of 2021. in a war is ending. so, people of the united states and people around the world are watching something happen. they watch how war ends. if nothing else there probably understanding this is a complicated, messy and heartbreaking thing to happen, they just do not bring down the curtain and every

we haven't yet heard a response from mr lee i does this now and here?s legal team, or indeed anybody on the other side, the owners of ashers bakery or the christian institute, the charity and lobby group who have been supporting them. but it is hard to see if there's any other route open to mr lee after this. the campaign around gay marriage, the issue was resolved here, as i say. the law was changed in 2020, so it is less of a political debate. however, this case, over the years, became a touchstone for issues around lgbt rights and freedom of conscience. so i think this whole period, in the history of northern ireland and social issues and also the wider implications around those very personal and sensitive points of debate, that debate will continue in the years ahead and the impact of this case on that will be analysed for some time to come.— this case on that will be analysed for some time to come. the winner of the bbc�*s sound of 22 competition has been revealed as pinkpa ntheress. for the last 20 years — the competition has been predicting music

lee a life on american history tv when lee could not ignore. however in 1861 were two factors first light horse harry lee for all of his revolutionary fame had been a hard luck husband and father. and left his family for the west indies. when robert was only six years old. the shadow that light horse harry cast over the lee name. was one that robert struggled to redeem. hence that broad streak of perfectionism and his behavior. but robert also yearned to breathe free of his father's reputation in other ways. he wanted independence. he wanted to be his own man. and in one sense his marriage to married costas was an attempt to stake out a realm for himself. but he also yearned for security. the security his father had denied him. so while most of lee's contemporaries at west point left the army as soon as they had received their taxpayer provided college degree and could decently resign and go into private engineering practice or some other profession. lee stays with the army as the one certain profession and paycheck that he could count on. the

lee? >> -- mr. lee. >> mr. billy lee. >> why did you choose to focus on mr. lee?now the defense was using sanchez to raise doubt about who the real killer was. >> there's a lot of smoke here but no fire. >> mudles it up. >> and that, i believe, was the defense strategy, that if you have enough of that, then the jury won't see through it. >> the jury retired to consider. >> oh, i was so nervous, i just paced up and down the halls, in and out. >> four hours later, they were called back into court. >> has the jury reached a verdict? >> we have, your honor. >> the defendant shall please rise. we find the defendant, bradley farrington, guilty of first-degree murder. >> when they announced their verdict? >> there was a lot of tears, a lot of sighs of relief. one of the deputy attorneys says, thank you for not giving up, thank you for pushing. and i said, how could i? it was my little girl. >> brad farrington was sentenced to life. no parole for at least 30 years. he's filed an appeal. cassy is but a memory now, and so, her parents remember their way through their pain t

lee: dr. moss, we talked a little bit earlier and you have spoken with my colleagues about the pharmaceutical industry. i think this is an interesting one. interesting angle from which to view competition because you have such a highly regulated industry, one in which you cannot do anything without -- not just without being regulated but long before you get into the regulatory production pipeline you have to go through a million steps costing an in norma's amount of money. -- an enormous amount of money. as a result of this have a lot of companies that never really can make it to production. they will always be acquired. that is part of the business plan. they don't have all the resources to make it through two and three-phase clinical trials. getting acquired is not only part of the plan it is the entire plan for many of them. how do you solve that kind of regulation induced consolidation? is it something we ought to worry about? is it something we ought to solve? if so, how do we go about th

lee in 18. 63. it was arguably the turning point in the war. heavy casualties around 50000 soldiers from both sides died in that battle. there are a lot of people that feel that those statues need to come down. when you look at these monuments just on a pure abstract view, there, beautiful works of art. beautiful works of art and then you've got the military brilliance of robert lee, which is still studied. military theory is today. the passion for this issue. we is the sentence of confederate ancestors. there are family we revere the sac that we feel in our opinion, they fault for noble cause to over throw in overbearing federal government. would you want any body to talk badly about your family? just the notion of family, you know, brings up a lot of emotions in me. but at the same time, if there is a member of one's family, that is doing something that you don't agree with. you have a responsibility, i'm for them. sure. and we're responsible for the legacy of our ancestors as far as telling the t

lee: this year. katharine: you have a sense of what americans know of communism, how well do you think most americans understand the depravity of the communist regime? lee: that is one of the reasons why we formed the foundation, why we are having our museum open up this spring. that is we believe if you tell the truth about china, about communist china, we'll realize they are not just an ordinary run-of-the-mill competitor or even adversary, but they are dedicated and motivated and committed to becoming a major power, not only in southeast asia and to be once again the middle kingdom, but to challenge the united states of america for leadership of the world. we must take appropriate action. here is an opportunity which we had has has been outlineuped with regard to the olympics. we failed. we must take advantage again and take a look, for example, at the world health organization or the world trade organization. there are so many ways in which we can challenge china, we're not talking here about dro

there was a big campaign going on, so mr lee wanted the slogan endorsing that campaign. that they were not going to bake the cake because they thought the message on it was at odds with their christian beliefs. mr lee took legal action. he was supported by the northern ireland equality watchdog in doing so. he alleged he had been discriminated against on the grounds of his sexuality. he won his case at the high court here in belfast and then at the northern ireland court of appeal. but then it went to the uk supreme court and it overturned the previous verdicts. judges in london ruled in favour of the bakers, saying their objection to making the cake was on the basis of the political message that they disagreed with, and not mr lee's sexuality. mr lee then took the case further to strasbourg, to the european court of human rights, and that court enforces and interprets the european convention on human rights, which is an international treaty signed by the uk and 46 other european states. this morning, in a writtenjudgment, thejudges in strasbourg have said the case broug

oh, i was particularly close to my grandmother, mary hamilton lee. it was she the told me about my li, family history. my most famous ancestor general robert e. lee led the confederate army against the union during the american civil war in the mid 19th century. i was proud that this man considered one of virginia's greatest heroes, was a relative. i wasn't told that he fought to defend slavery. ah, on the 12th of august 2017, these pictures of racial hatred in charlottesville, virginia were particularly shocking. the cause at white supremacists were rallying around, was the preservation of a statue of my ancestor, robert e. lee. i felt outraged that my family name was associated with the k k. k, and neo nazis. what happened in charlottesville made me consider for the 1st time, the true legacy of my slave owning ancestors. i want to know why people in my home state of virginia are so divided on the subject of confederate monuments and what they represent. and i want to find out how much the oppression of enslaved people by my ancestors, has had an im

why don't we go to lee? i'm not sure i understand the question, but i feel like there's a real question in there. >> yeah, i'm not sure i entirely -- there's a lot in there. somewhere there's a pony in there. no, just teasing. but sing the praises of the house committee on modernization, which has been doing, you know, yeoman's work on trying to think about how the house can function better. and you know, i don't know. i would guess if you have 150 new members that are setting up offices for the first time and are looking for guidance, so it's probably more likely to see some of those types of recommendations for how members should run their office and how congress should operate from people who are new as opposed to people who have been there for a long time. so i don't know. my sense is, you know, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of how congress could operate better as an institution. but a lot of the challenges flow from the fact that in a highly centralized leadership driven institution on top

during the mating season, lee asked me leave after all. unfortunately, there are no female links in his area. the ladies don't dare to cross the rhine, but if there aren't any females on the german side, the population will remain unstable, even though germany has promised the e. u to help the animals return. as a says guns gladys. and here the very clear that we need female animals or to talk about reproduction and the local population. i looks popular to one your space and come. and if it is not given, then that will only happen if females are settled, is just understood so unsettled. it's not likely that female links as well. my great through the settled areas as soon as the launch after 5 digital to his father, humans have to resettle the animals for some that's a problem. sheep farmer folk are most men of loud harbor says that his grazing herds and those of others, had created a unique cultural landscape. one with great biodiversity. but the sheep, or on the links is menu to. most men has already discovered several dead animals to be

dominic lee, i wish we had more time, but we've run out.ello there. wednesday brings the promise of a bit more brightness, some sunshine even across parts of england and wales after what has been a very stagnant and cloudy and cold few days. you can see that haze of grey on the earlier satellite picture. bright white cloud up to the north—west, though. that's indicative of frontal systems approaching, eventually bringing some rain into scotland and northern ireland with a strengthening wind. so, through wednesday, england and wales having a better chance of some sunny spells, although towards the south—east corner, it may stay cloudy for a good part of the day. strengthening winds across northern areas, rainjust getting into northern ireland, certainly setting in across western and north—western scotland through the afternoon. gusts of wind in excess of 50 mph in exposed north—western parts. but milder than it has been, certainly across england and wales, 8—10 degrees. northern ireland and scotland up to 10—11. through wednesday night, it w

dominic lee, i wish we had more time, but we've run out.you. hello. tuesday promises more of the weather we've been so used to lately — largely dry, but often cloudy. the satellite picture shows this pale grey colour here — that's the sheet of low cloud that's been with many of us for the last few days. this bright white cloud out towards the west is the first sign of the frontal systems that will eventually get things moving and bring about something of a change. but for tuesday morning, most places starting off grey and cloudy, some mist and fog patches, too. the fog should tend to lift as the day wears on, as the breeze picks up a little. best chance of sunshine perhaps for north east wales, the west midlands, north east england, but more especially for northern ireland, for southern and eastern scotland, where the breeze really will be picking up, turning that cloud over and breaking it up. some spots of rain into northwest scotland. temperatures ranging from just 3—4 celsius in parts of eastern england, to maybe 8—9 in western scotland

but today lawyer christine lee is accused of working secretly on behalf of the chinese state.nusual move, mi5 today issued this alert to parliamentarians. they were warned that miss lee had been working with an arm of the chinese communist party to covertly interfere in uk politics through establishing links with established and aspiring parliamentarians. the fact that this alert has become public today in the way in which it has, is really a very strong illustration of how our intelligence and security agencies have been working together to really spot and identify this type of activity, activity that could potentially do harm to our country and harm to our democracy. there was no one here today at christine lee's london office and she has not yet responded to the claims. the allegation is that she was funnelling money to politicians, claiming it came from within the uk, when in fact it came from china, all in order to secure influence for the chinese communist party. former labour frontbencher barry gardiner received more than £a00,000 from her overfive years. in a statement

mr lee won the first stages of his case.uments. they ruled in favour of the bakers, saying the company made the decision on the basis of the political message which was on the cake, not mr lee's sexual orientation. mr lee then went to the european court of human rights in strasbourg. today, it's dismissed the case because mr lee had previously relied on uk law only. the charity and lobby group which has supported the company says the verdict is the right one. whether you're a christian running a bakery or a gay man running a bakery or whoever you are, you can't be forced to help promote causes that you profoundly disagree with, and i think that's good news for everyone. in a statement gareth lee expressed his disappointment. he said, "none of us should be expected to have to figure out "the beliefs of a company's owners before going into their shop "or paying for their services." his lawyers say they'll consider whether to bring a new case in the northern ireland courts. whether that happens or not, this story will still pro

lee: absolutely. it is not an either/or proposition. what you see on the factory floor today is manufacturing workers working alongside automation. automation is additive to manufacturing workers and the manufacturing experience to ensure that humans are able to focus on those things that are higher skilled and the things that are inherently human that require imagination and creativity and teamwork and cooperation. you are also creating jobs, but for people who need to care and maintain this automation. it is not an either/or, it is an and. taylor: you could argue robots and automation -- they may get software viruses but do not get covid-19. they do not get human viruses. while people are working for home, robots for example could take over. did you see any pivot more toward automation? ms. lee: i saw that how we did our jobs changed, absolutely. over 95% of manufacturers were open and under peak production when the economy went through a standstill earlier in 2020. they absolutely make sure that we were keeping our employees safe. it

lee: the problem is inflation. we've got these very elevated inflation numbers now come up with expectation is when you look at longer-term inflation expectations, we do expect to come back towards 2%, maybe a little bit above average inflation targeting, but coming back to that level. you have to look in the context of equity valuations. i think there are people nervous out there. the fear of missing out was a huge driver of trades in 2021, and i think people are closing their eyes and buying equities, but they are worried. the qe taper has accelerated. the liquidity eventually will become less bountiful. i think that is something people are looking at, so you can argue real yields are still negative, but if i can login 1.75%, 1.80% on 10 years given these valuations, is that such a bad trade? you start getting close to 2%, people are going to look at that and say just for prudence, i'm going to increase my allocation to the bond market. tom: dennis gartman making a splash in the last 48 hours, calling for correct
