president, let's go with lincoln. lincoln how much would it have cost?it would have cost $3 billion and keep in mind i only carry five dollar bills. [ laughter ] no answer? there were about four million slaves. >> four million slaves. >> jon: judge, do you have an answer. >> the numbers are equivocal because you are trying to talk about it in modern terms but in 1860 terms i'll agree with the number $3 billion less than half of what it cost to fight the civil war and rebuild the south. >> jon: professor what is the bill? >> $3 billion is correct but it should be noted that if you want to buy all the factories, railroads and banks in the country at that time it would have only cost you $2.5 billion. the slaves were by far the largest concentration of property in the country. they didn't have the money to buy up $3 billion worth of slaves and more to the point the south was not willing to sell their slaves. >> jon: it was economically viable for the south at that time. >> it was not only viable it was growing. there were more slaves in the united states in

lincoln has been elected president. and it turns out that there was a period in our nation's history when presidential elections had a divisive and polarizing effect on the population very unlike the perfect harmony and civility of our present day. so over a period of 13 days as lincoln is making his way by train from his home in springfield, illinois, to washington, d.c. for his inauguration as president, the air is filled with rumors of an assassination plot. in maryland where his train will pass below the mason dixon line for the first time, there are rumors that he'll be shot or he'll be stabbed, or his train will be blown up at a whistlestop appearance in baltimore. allen pinkerton of the legendary pinkerton detective agency is on the scene. he's already there in baltimore x he has just -- or -- and he has just under two weeks to uncover hard evidence of this looming plot before time runs out. what makes the situation even more difficult and more dangerous is that there's no good way to get from springfield to wash

lincoln life. well, it's a good plan and it needs a better plan if it's going to be foiled in pinkerton had one. pinkerton had a strategy that is many years of service as a railroad gtech is enabled him to devise and put into practice. for more than a week, lincoln had been tethered to a moment by moment timetable for speeches and reception. the plans of the conspirators have been made accordingly. they knew exactly where he would be at any given moment. anybody would. all you have to do is look in the newspaper and you would know where lincolnwood be at any given moment. and in pinkerton's view, the only way of supporting this plot was to get lincoln to breakaway from the well-publicized itinerary and proceed directly to washington ahead of schedule under the gtech is personal protection. if pinkerton could sneak the president elect through baltimore ahead of time, the assassins would be caught off guard. by the time they took their places for the schedule to rival of lincoln's train, lincoln had

abraham lincoln's a little boy. the best question that i've been asked in all interviews, i promise this is true. yesterday someone asked me did abraham lincoln really have a beard when he was 7 years old? [laughter] i was, like, yes, he did. [laughter] he was the most hormonal little boy ever. what i love about chris is he actually drew little lines so it looks like a fake beard, but i loved the reporter that asked me that with a straight face ask had no idea. when the editor first looked at it, they said shall we make him bigger as he gets older, make iowa heel ya earhart older, i said you're going to rob the magic. trust me. can you just draw them older one time? and chris drew her awninged, amelia earhart, and we all looked at it, and to the editor's credit, she's a genius, she was like, no, it's right. keep them young. the reason we keep them young so all you guys in the front row, all the kids out there, they can relate to him, he's always lovable to them, and that's why they reantibiotic to him. to me, that's

[laughter] what of lincoln.is one network's tribute to him. >> i'm on a contrairan on abraham lincoln and bemoan the fact that he has been -- >> jon: i believe he is referringing to the fact that he killed vam pires. why bemoan a president most of us be-like? >> i prefer to look at him this way. at the time he was president of the united states slavery was dying a natural death all over the western world. instead of allowing it to die or helping it to die or even purchasing the slaves and then freeing them which would have cost a lot less money than the civil war cost, lincoln set about on the most murder russ war in american history. >> oh, right. [ laughter ] >> compensated emancipation. why didn't lincoln think of that? what is that? did he think after this. he spent most of 1862 to convince states to free their slaves in exchange for money and everybody said (bleep) off. okay. because i wasn't economically feasible and the slave states had a deeply invested interest in maintaining a two tiered culture using

and as a guy who co wrote a book about lincoln, if he says lincoln wouldn't have gone on an internetedy show, he would know, or would he? historians stepped forward and said, one of abraham lincoln's defining features was odd. he was fond of jokes anecdotes and stories. he loved to hear them, and tell them himself out of the supply provided by his good memory. there would have been no harm in this but for the fact the courser the joke, the more risky the anecdote, the more he enjoyed them requesting a funny song in the middle of a battlefield or being reminded of a joke. one of his most striking defining features was his oddness, strangeness, which daniel day-lewis probably did the best modern day job of portraying in film. maybe abraham lincoln would have done something like between two ferns. only it's possible he would have come off more like zach galifianakis than president obama. keeping up with these two is more than a full time job and i don't have time for unreliable companies. angie's list definitely saves me time and money. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of

lincoln ellis. >> you bet.even though the chinese e-commerce company alibaba will be listed on a u.s. exchange, we don't know which one yet when it goes public, in many ways it is still a chinese company services chinese consumers but will it remain a primarily chinese product, or, will it cause major headaches for e-commerce sites like amazon and ebay? we have rob enderle, enderle group president and principle analyst. he is always in touch with these guys. i'm wondering is amazon a little worried about this ipo? >> i think probably amazon, probably ebay even more. this is a site that connects people to folks that sell products in china. does a better job of it than ebay does. the, the ability to grow out of china then is stronger than ebay's ability to grow into china. that is what kind of gives them a edge. they can loop in amazon as well because amazon is trying to expand in some very similar areas. so in one fell swoop, alibaba google and ebay, amazon rolled into one. they tried to bring out their own andr

he brought in lincoln. you have to see this to believe it.show it to everybody that was not doing what you did. >> researching, it is called. >> all i can tell you is abe lincoln would not have done it. there comes a point when serious times call for serious action. we are a divided nation which talking points believes is in decline. >> abe lincoln would not have done it. first of all, how does he know? is this for real? >> we also live in a world with tvs where men don't walk around with top hats on and women can vote. when i heard that i thought there are folks who feel this diminishes the presidency. that is fair argument. i thought this weakened his argument because lincoln was known as a funny guy and someone who reached out to people. who knows if lincoln would have done this or not. i thought it was funny. maybe it is a generational thing. this is where obama shines. he knows this hits the population that they need to hit for obamacare. >> when you talk about beneath the office, 2004 which i remember well, president george w. bush went

typically beat lincoln. imagines that. in new june of 2005 there was a poll done by a o l and time warner. a o l online which surveyed americans and didn't give them a choice, put in whatever name they wanted. who is the greatest american of all time. not the greatest president, who is the greatest american of all time. 2.4 million people responded with any status far and away representative sample. maybe 500 people to do this polling and reagan won greatest american of all time. what republican wouldn't want to be like reagan? who would aspire to that success? you now have republican groups all over the county, state groups, they have been holding these annual lincoln day dinners for years, changing the names of many of those to reagan day dinners because the lincoln day dinners were in february which is the month of president's day and lincoln's breast and also the month of ronald reagan's birthday so many of these republican groups in a sense reagan replacing lincoln of all things. all right, so i get asked all the time

woodson realize third-degree this event could not just be about lincoln and douglas. he believed history was made by the people, not just a story of great men. , and this is very important. as one of my professors used to always remind us, that history is about the folks that the family stone call everyday people -- the mothers, fathers, garbage men, sharecroppers, domestic workers, students, teachers, hustlers, players, all these folks who make up the wonderfully tapestry of the black experience. amongst these everyday people there was tremendous excitement about negro history week across the country. black history clubs sprang up, teachers programs were organized. it's important to recognize especially during the 1930's and 40's and 50's how radical this was. there was no black history being taught in school. even segregated black schools, black history would see more as a supplement to person history and not as central to it. what was created was an intellectual insurgency which was part of a larger effort to recognize the fundamental humanities of african american

about abe lincoln so he should know. friends, conservatives are still claiming to be worried that the president's highly rated interview with zach galifnaikis will demean the office. the president was finally asked about it in an espn interview today. >> one network suggested lincoln couldn't do this. it's obviously a different time. but you embrace young and different. why? >> well, first of all, if you read back on lincoln, he loved telling the occasional bawdy joke. being out among regular folks. and, you know, up with of the hardest things about being president is being in this bubble. that is artificial and unless you make a conscious effort, you start sounding like some washington stiff. >> it's true. lincoln was so well known as a jokester that in 1864, take a look at this, democrats circulated a novelty business card that promised that after he lost the election, he could go back to springfield and do what he was known for, quote, make joke, split rail fences and dispense law. of course, lincoln won, even with th
