lee. everything about him was so fine looking at the war which came to her mind was perfection. she said there was no thought to be found even a few hundred for one and get, mary chest was not entirely enchanted robert e lee or at least not nearly as much as some others work. she wrote her diary, i like leap better. what she meant, robert e lee's old brother, sidney smith lee. why? because robert was a mystery. i know smith well she wrote in her diary but anybody say they know his brother? i doubt it. so old and quiet grand. that surprisingly was the judgment that many people who met robert ely came to. both during and before the american civil war came here to the mark when she talked about lee and perfection and she realized because perfection was one of robert e lee's abiding goals in life not because he was supernaturally less with ability that perfection was within easy reach but because he demanded so much of it from himself and others. in other words, there was a great deal more to

one is by december 1862 robert e lee is robert e lee.he's not just the son-in-law of george washington hospice. if robert e lee had gone into any virginia confederate court and said look, i don't want to go through with this. i shouldn't have to go through with this. i seriously doubt whether any virginia confederate would have stopped him . if he wanted to do due process who was going to stand in the path of generally? the other interesting thing is that lee persists in moving forward with this emancipation. and not in a cusp of slaves but emancipating them one slave family that he did in his own name he is not obliged by the state to emancipate. but in the beginning of 1863, robert e lee is flavorless. and what's more he's badgering jefferson davis. he's saying the confederacy must emancipate its slaves. because otherwise where never going to have any kind of standing in the eyes of the rest of the world. by the spring of 1865 he's advocating the emancipation of an important of slaves for the confederate army. on both terms is easy to

lee. mary chestnut first met robert edward lee just before the war at the white salter springs in western virginia where he brought his wife who was plagued by rheumatoid arthritis and they came to the sulphur springs to benefit from her bathing in the hot springs there. there is one of the few things that could give her relief from the steady march of that terrible disease. mary chestnut is of course one of the most famous diary keepers of the confederacy. remembered that a man riding a beautiful horse joined us wearing a hat with somehow a military look to it and she said, he sat his horse gracefully and he was so distinguished at all points that i very much regretted pushing the name. mary chestnut was intrigued by this man. who was he? where did he come from? well, it was explained to her he was robert edward lee. chestnut marvelled. everything about him, she said, was so fine looking that the word which came unbidden to her mind was perfection. she said there was no fault to be found

one is, by december 1862, robert e lee is robert e lee.'s not just the son-in-law of george washington, robert e lee had gone to any confederate court said i don't want to go through with this, i shouldn't have to go through with this, i seriously doubt whether any bridging effect confederate court would have stopped him. if he wanted to derail the whole process, who would stand up impact of general we? the other interesting thing is that lee persists moving forward with the emancipation. not only emancipate slaves but a slave family he did in his own name which he was not obliged by the custis estate for emancipating. we can have 1863, robert e lee is slave less. what's more, he's battering jefferson davis. he sank the confederacy must emancipate us slaves because otherwise we're never going to have any time standing in the eyes of the rest of the world but spring of 1865, he's advocating emancipation of slaves. the confederate army. on both terms, it's easy to say while he was doing this out of pragmatic reasons, not because he felt mora

lee. robert e. lee is not with us. robert e. lee will be tried as a traitor to the confederacy. willyou take it from that, thas an 1861. in february of 1865, lee when is proposing the emancipation of slaves and the recruitment for the confederate army, the charleston mercury newspaper says we knew that was robert e. lee never with us. we knew that robert e. lee was always a federalists at a hard. we can't trust robert e. lee. this is february of 1865 in the charleston mercury. lee had a particular profile and many people are not entirely sure about robert edward lee. they love the fact that he won battles. many people scratching their heads about him, politically speaking. >> and robert e. lee himself often, as you know, embodied many contradictions. throughout the book you site where he will see one thing and then turn around and do something that seemingly trying contradictive. so, i just had a question and i think their questions in that queue and are we q and a as well from our audience. so, he was appointed head of the virginia army. he eventually is put in charge of the ar

lee the son of white horse harry lee.people don't know if they are conjuring up that robert by on one location was corresponded and asked in his application letter to west point and beyond that never talks about himself as white horse harry never visits his father's grade not until the end of 1861 when robert lee is coming into his own and becoming his own man so to speak. and then to come to terms with the influence and the impact of white horse harry on his life. it is a traumatic affair and out of that trauma that you see growing those passions of robert e. lee that i have itemized for independence insecurity and perfection. and those are not always compatible. someone can urine for independence and find out that doesn't give you much security you can obtain security and realize it doesn't give you much in the way of independence and never makes all three n work together curious enough until after the c civil war when he becomes the president of washington college in faraway lexington virginia and then he's able to bri

they're helping lee. lee doesn't really use them. they're very ineffective, and it's almost like they're not even there. but the raid is going to occur on june 25th, and the problem is the second is going to move and block his path. he didn't expect that. he's going to have to do a detour. he never expected to do this wide detour, and it's interesting because he needs to get back to lee, right, but what is he doing? he's spend ago lot of time ripping up tracks and burning bridges and burning down railroad depots. he needs to be moving fast. he hears aboutford, it is very deep, very treacherous. he's going to use because it's not defended. the problem is by the time he gets across, it's so difficult when the horses have to spend hours just resting the horses, losing more time. i would do this. if i see all of these wagons around rockville, guess what i'm going to do. i'm grabbing those wagons, right, and so he is going to run rockville, going to attack this wagon train, which right over here, but he's captured about 400 soldiers. what

they're supposed to be helping lee and guarding some of the passes and helping lee. lee doesn't really use them. their very ineffective and it is almost like they're not even there. but the raid is going to occur on june 25th and the problem is the second corp is going to move and it is going to block his path. he didn't expect that. and so he's going to have to do a detour. he never expected to do this wide detour. and it is interesting because he needs to get back to lee. right. but what is he doing? he's spending time ripping up trucks and burning bridges and burning down railroad depots. he needs to be moving fast and he doesn't. he hears about rouser's ford which is just south of edwards ferry. it is very deep and it is very treacherous and but he's going to use it because it is not defended. the problem is by the time he gets across, it is so difficult on the horses they have to spend hours resting the hors losing more time. i would do this. if i see all of these wagons around rockville, guess what i'm going to do? i'm grabbing those wagons, right. and so he is

they are supposed to be helping lee. lee doesn't use them. they are very ineffective. it is like they aren't there. the raid will occur on june 20 fifth. the problem is they are going to move and it will block his path, didn't expect that. he will do a detour. it didn't expect to do this detour. it is interesting. he needs to get back to lee but what is he doing? spending a lot of time ripping up tracks and burning bridges and burning down railroad depots. he needs to be moving fast. he hears just south of edward's very, very deep, very treacherous and is going to use it because it is not defendant. by the time he gets across it is a difficult on the horses he has to send hours losing more time. i would do this. if i see these wagons guess what i'm going to do. i'm grabbing those wagons. he's going to run rockville, attack this wagon train over here but captured by 400 soldiers. he doesn't want to drag them along. it will take hours. he will continue north and look at this. he breaks his units up. they will destroy railroads rather than moving north. he continues north

lee. what is his job? to make policy?is his job to make military decisions that can have an advantage? and i would argue toward stedman and during the appomattox campaign with those military options are eliminated at the appomattox courthouse, he had opportunities to fight his army to some advantage. that is the explanation of why we behave the way he did the last couple months of the war. >> you could be right. but i point out. there is no confederate counter attack during the appomattox campaign. it is defensive fighting that happens at saylors creek. but again, two times there is an option to do something that way preserve the offensive possibilities. he sent a force down to hold them off and got the army moving south, that would have said he wants to keep the fight going. or if he moved up portion along the south side of the river and said i am trusting alexander. if he tells me know. i go with him on that one. i hear what you are saying. stedman was in motion for months or a month and a half. maybe he looked at it to

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

this is a -- focuses on lee's army. what made you want to look at that time at lee's army? keep that story going when other books had closed. >> right. there's a couple of ways in which this book came together. on one hand, the first two books that i wrote, that you mentioned, looking at the war, i was well aware and kept bumping into things that were happening in the spring and summer of 1865 regarding how unionists are thinking about their former enemies. do they call them former enemies? are they still enemies? ideas were out there. my initial intention -- i edited a volume. i was going to write one essay about what happened to lee's army. we have a notion of ashley wilkes going home. we have other cultural references, one or two soldiers drifting home. we have the notion of a bunch of vagabonds terrorizing the countryside. but i wasn't clear how a confederate army was disbanded or demobilized. i thought, that's a great essay. i can delve into that. it didn't take long getting into the research before i realized, this story is so much more complicated than i had ever ima

lee no longer has unconditional surrender plans. there is reason for that, i believe, and i'm not suggesting that he did wrong. but there is a little bit of negotiation that's going on here. and that is that lee will add until they are exchange. and this might seem like a throwaway line, but i think it's important for two reasons. on one hand, lee believed, or at least he had this little tiny bit of hope, that perhaps joe johnson's army or kirby smith's army will be successful, and there will be a need for his men once more. so, maybe the war will continue and they will be exchanged. but the flip side of that is current could have struck that out, but he doesn't. and i think that's telling because he thinks the war is coming to an end. so can lee let that one go. we can let that go because obviously this is a gesture. it's silly, empty, because it's obvious that when lee capitulates, the others will follow in his week. or at least, that grant very much had hope. >> that's going to create some legal wrangling later, but i want to do

this is a focus on lee's army as it says in the subtitle. we're talking about the army of northern virginia. and but what made you want to look at that time, at lee's army after appomattox, to keep that story going when other books have closed. >> right. there are a couple of ways in which this book came together. on one hand, the first two books that i wrote, that you've mentioned, looking at memory of the war, i was well aware and kept bumping into things that were happening in the spring and summer of 1865 regarding how unionists are thinking about their former enemies, or do they call them former enemies, are they still enemies. so there is ideas out there but my initial invention was i looked at the appomattox campaign and i was going to write one essay about what happened to lee's army after appomattox. we have ashley wilkes coming home in gone with the wind and other one or two soldiers drifting home or we have the notion of a bunch of vagabonds terrorizing the country side. but i wasn't clear how a confederate army was disbanded or d

lee severed his own anxiety that day.ybreak he pressed beauregard to clarify the identity of his opponents predict real commander replied that he faced to korsak federalists presumably the 18th and second taint course still failing to acknowledge burnside and warren. at 11:15 or inside compounded the confusion by informing lee that warren has likely abandon the petersburg area and is headed for the piedmont to confront early only suggesting that we send them reinforcements so he could crush the yankee line but not long after beauregard changed his tune telling lee a local citizen had reported a 30,000 have crossed the river and peeled to lee to help you hold this position. one can only imagine lee's reaction to this conflicting intelligence. at 4:30 that afternoon so they told beauregard that no information about grant crossing the james river but ordered hill and kershaw to approach the pontoon bridges. then at last beauregard provided lee with unambiguous and preparation of the night core was on the ground in front of t

it's in robert lee's report. the value of it is perceived by robert e. lee. when meade found out sickles was out of position or is attributed to have said the ground sickles was on was neutral ground, the enemy could not occupy it for the same reason his own troops could not. there's the title. it's a nice presentation, huh? you see where i'm going with this? neutral ground. george meade assessed it as neutral ground. so robert e. lee looking at it for artillery. you have dan sickles kind of agreeing with robert e. lee. you have george meade assessing as neutral ground. the question is it logical to consider it as a position and did either general lee or sickles overestimate that? and we'll come back to that. i'm not going to do the battle here and power point. it's very hard to do civil war battles with powerpoint presentations. i think that's why so few people actually do it. we're going to skip ahead. long street attacks the union left flank with vigor. little round top, the wheat field doubles then and eventually sickles and his troops are driven out of t

lee and he outranked all of them but the government was like with these guys and field commanders so they're going to get higher than you and has created a problem for the rest of the war between johnston and davis, president davis printed and will really manifest itself in the story today and they did not get along and they did not communicate well and led to a lot of confus. he was real concerned with break so far this amazing. there he is, joe johnston predict now to pick up the story after in the winter of 1862 in n manassas across the river from washington and georges rebuilt the union army had johnson can read a map and he knows the u.s. navy is a lot more powerful than the confederate navy and he can transport people down in the river in virginia and come on in behind him pretty met actually is mccullough's plan and he plans to go to a place and behind johnson and wants to become to him. and he realizes is a possibility so he pulls his army back behind and davis is not happy about this because he's given territory in a meat packing plant in manassas and is not happy at all joh

lee and dan sickles overestimated it. and lee actually used peach orchard/emmitsburg road to spearhead a bigger disaster on july 3 called pickett's charge. but did sickles knowingly act out of intentional disobedience? i'll leave that to you to decide. which comes back to this guy, because, damn it, i've had this guy come up to me at the he found the presentation and say, that was fine but i still don't like dan sickles. and again i will say, i was not trying to get you to like dan sickles, but what i do hope you come away with is a better appreciation of the story of, you know, kind of what i talked about, the three phases, his role in the battle, his role in the historiography, and his role in the preservation, and as i said at the outset, i think it's important to understand all of the phases of dan sickles' career, love him or not, hate him or not, love to hate him or hate to love him. with that i think we're almost out of time. see you in the queue at the back of the room. thank you. >>> weekends on c-span2, an intel

>> president lee: yes. i see commissioner chiu and then commissioner bush. >> commissioner chiu: thank you, chair lee. director pelham, i believe that the b.l.a. audit report has recommendations around staffing, the finding that the ethics commission was understaffed. do you know offhand how our current staffing compares to what their recommendations were? >> yes. our staffing compares to the recommendations. an audit manager position has been filled, and we hired the new staff to assist with the form 700 program, positions that were identified in the audit budget. in addition to that, as you know, this year, we have eight new positions that we're filling, and so that's the ethics at work team in terms of posting job descriptions, and two additional enforcement staff, and one program performance analyst to work directly with our deputy director and me on making sure that we have our fullest reporting and our most transparent reporting regularly to you all and to the public. so there are a number of position

then on the civil war to programs on robert e lee at 3:00 p.m.caroline director of the university of virginia center for civil war history discusses her book and the war the unfinished fight of lee's army after appomattox which examines military and political uncertainty in the weeks following the end of the civil war. at 4:10 p.m. eastern "new york times" columnist alan with his book robert e lee, the confederate general's life is detailed from refined upbringing and virginia's high society and long career in the u.s. army through his experiences during and after the civil war. exploring the american story watch american history tv, saturday on cspan2. >> next a hearing on domestic terrorism with homeland security and fbi officials. witnesses addressed several topics including the rise of white supremacy, civil rights and the role of social media. they outline the agency's efforts to combat these issues before the house intelligence committee. this is about an hour and a half.

it's in robert lee's report. so there's the value of it is perceived by robert e lee while george mead when mead found out that sickles was out of position wrote or is attributed to have said the ground that sickles. zahn was neutral ground the enemy could not occupy it for the same reason that his own troops could not there's the title that tonight's presentation. you see where i'm going with this neutral ground. george meade assessed that his neutral ground. so you have robert e lee looking at it for artillery. you have dan sickles kind of agreeing with robert e. lee you have george meade assessing it as neutral ground. so there's the question of is it logical to considerate is a valuable position and then did either general lee or sickles, you know overestimate that and we'll come back to that. now i'm not going to do the battle here in powerpoint. you know, it's very hard to do civil war battles with powerpoint presentations. i think that's why so few people actually do it. so we're gonna skip ahead you guys

thank you, congresswoman sheila jackson lee for yielding. it gives me at this time great pleasure to yield, madam speaker, to hear from congresswoman brenda lawrence. she hails from the great state of michigan. she is also the second vice chair of the powerful congressional black caucus. she is also one of the co-chairs of our women's caucus. and at this time, i would like to say to my colleague and to my friend, thank you for your leadership. thank you for your strong voice. as a former mayor, we know she's used to leading, guiding. so at this time i yield to congresswoman brenda lawrence. mrs. lawrence: i want to thank my c.b.c. colleague, my c.b.c. chair, an amazing leader for our country, joyce beatty, for leading this special hour. i want to thank my colleague -- and she's been a mentor -- sheila jackson lee, who's just amazing. i rise today in strong support of build back better. we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make transformational change for women, for families, and for communities of color. abigail adams wrote a strong

lee. lee will have seized the initiative immediately and begin to capitalize on all that it will provide him. as the second menases campaign continues to unfold, many men in the ranks feel they're being needlessly sacrifices after the defeat at ceder mountain. land has gotten way out of hand, damaging the morale to the men in the ranks. when pope takes command, he fires a very, very intelligent fellow by the name of herman halps, who kept the supply running and by the time pope's army is almost starving to death. and asking to please come back. by the middle of the month of august, pope is beginning to learn that lee's objectives are set upon crushing his army and begins to make a series of decisions that are going to lead to what will happen at the end of the month. by the second to last week of august, john pope starts making a lot of mistakes. he's done pretty well so far, although he's failed tactically at ceder mountain, he's holding some of the campaign objectives he's been given. bu

that's why he made the call with general lee and on january 8, 2021. it's important to read the full book because the whole book as the full context and the context shows in each of these moments in the call he was reading in otherpeople . he was calling up gina has to and talking to paul sony running the national security agency and talking to the joint chiefs. this is a senior military officer working to de-escalate potential crisis and it's clear that these kind of calls between military leaders can be routine but our book shows that calls between such leaders can be routine certainly but this moment was anything but routine. it was a moment on a back channel to try to avoid global war. to avoid some kind of miscommunication in the south china sea where a president who they believed was in decline acting out and harass way, a catastrophic way and with the and and see exchange you see him trying to protect the country from having miscommunication or an isolated call from the white house or even the president causing a missile to be fired or even a nu
