nineteenth century racehorse called lexington. he's a facile source of his time.y the fastest horse today because racing was conducted quite differently in the 19th century. his races were 4 miles long. which is like to kentucky derby's. so he may still be the fastest horse who ever lived. he had the stamina. he had the heart and the courage brady had a lovely. disposition. and then when he retired from the track, he produced morese champion horses than any other race horses ever produced. >> as its antebellum period before the civil war pre- >> and during the civil war. a lot of those horses never raced free because they went to the military instead. he would've had even more champions and it had been normal times. and he was at the center of some very dangerous situations during the civil war as well. it was a fantastic story to tell. >> it's a story of lexington lost to general history but is it still known in horse circles? >> in the inner horse eat circles. when i heard about this horse i was astonished i ask of you heard of lexington? every time they said no

dolly johnson was born into slavery in lexington, kentucky. but she later was referred to be the white house cook from president benjamin harrison in 1889. she was hired in particular to replace the french chef at the white house, named madame pell wired. who allegedly created too many fancy french meals. and the harrison's wanted home cooking instead. dolly was known for her bluegrass cuisine from kentucky and worked with another african american chef named mary robinson did make dishes like breads, pies, maryland they are painted dock and other staples that were comfort foods to the harrison's. she worked for about seven months before she had to return to lexington to care for her daughter, but she ends up returning to the white house a few years later. when president grover cleveland returns to the white house for his second term in 1893, he requests that dolley come back to the white house. the reason we know so much about these changes in dolley's life and her absences from the white house is because she really captured a lot of media att

with fighting already underway at lexington and con concord and bunker hill, paine tells the readers that they should not make peace with england. reconciliation now, he says, is a dangerous doctrine. really? in 1776 did any sane person really think that a tiny clone colonial -- colonial militia could ever beat and banish the most powerful navy and significant army? it is madness. to think that. so why not make peace? safe in the knowledge that, look, all the colonists' grievances against england -- as time passed. why not make peace? the colonists' debts would eventually get paid. the hated king would shortly die, and his own popular cabinet would eventually be forced from power. why not make peace? patch things up? wait it out? because paine won't let you see the problem like that. paine, in "common sense," puts the burden of proof elsewhere. not upon the colonists to prove why they should be independent. he placed the burden of proof upon the british to prove why americans should stay shackled to them for even a second longer. bold stuff from tom paine. so in these ways, "common s

galvanized by what had happened at lexington and concord in april of 1775, tom paine would write common sense to persuade ordinary americans that they should declare their independence from britain. as he was writing that pin pamphlet, in the fall of 1775, tensions with britain were escalating quickly. popular emotions had been aroused not only by the 1773 t act and the 1774 coercive act that followed it, but more recently by the battles at lexington and concord and that bunker hill. there was a lot of anger and confusion in the air as he was writing it. although, to be clear, no one was talking openly yet about independents. not until tom paine's pamphlet burst on the scene. so, tom paine is going to be one of the first people to make a very public argument that all colonial grievances should be focused on achieving independence, not reconciliation, not better terms and conditions but independents. so, it's going to matter. that spent some time now examining how tom paine builds the case for independents in the pages of that pamphlet, common sense. and bear in mind that i paine's great

but there were two presidents by the name of adams both and there was an in battle farmer at both lexington and concord. and and you paint them as you know, being sort of quarless and ungrateful because of the protection that britain had given them but isn't it just as true that britain was protecting its huge trading interest in the united states and although it didn't treat americans with a disdain of say indians americans were not allowed to defend themselves. and when washington went with british troops to defend or build in and lose fort necessity it went back to governor dinwiddie according to ranchero, and they weren't paying. and if they were paid they were paid at a fraction of what british troops made. yes, and no absolutely i do go into this in my book. in fact that the the french and india during the french and indian wars american troops weren't treated with the same equality as as british troops and were essentially treated only just this side of mercenaries and there were several other things like that that were resented understandably, so, but i'm not sure what you mean by t
