not lincoln. this is undoubtedly lincoln and the photographer set up his station exactly to catch this scene. he knew as he turned this way, people in front of lincoln would be momentarily out of way and lincoln would come into view and that's when he snapped this shot. this is not, as far as i know, as recognized as one of the official photographs of lincoln. possibly there is maybe some doubt. in fact i think it should be added to that list. well, i maybe don't have to show this to many of you here, of course lincoln was coming down this way. this is an aerial view. the turn that he made is here. came around this way to the cemetery. they did not go through evergreen cemetery, they made sure to avoid it because he was not happy with the leader of the evergreen cemetery. so they went this way and probably up the center of what we think of now as thecenter of -- the center of the cemetery. maybe they came up this way here, but there is a little sunken road. this picture is taken from one of the ho

[laughter] who was this lincoln? this lincoln was not an abolitionist. but he was, as he insisted, naturally antislavery. his deepening understanding of slavery in its full complexity as a moral, political and constitutional dilemma, began in his childhood among the primitive baptist antislavery dissidents and backwards kentucky and indiana whose churches, his semi literate parents attended. as a boy, he rode down the mississippi river to new orleans. he was the original huck finn. where he discovered that new orleans was an open air emporium of slaves. on option, on display and it shocked him. as a congressman, in his single term here in washington, he lived in a boardinghouse, abolition house. he experienced the invasion of slave catchers coming to see is one of the wages as a fugitive slave. undoubtedly, he knew the secret of the house where he lived. that it was a station in the underground railroad. he denounced the mexican war is fortunately started and voted numerous times against the expansion of slavery. in the new western territories that had b

lincoln's endorsement. stuart excitedly asked herndon if lincoln signed the abolitionist call in the newspaper. i answered in the negative, adding, that i had signed his name. to the question, did lincoln authorize you to sign it, and i returned an emfat tick -- emfattic, no. claimed startled and indignant stewart, you have ruined abraham lincoln. i thought i understood lincoln thoroughly, herndon said, in order to vindicate myself i immediately sat down after stewart rushed out of the office to write lincoln in the county and attending court. how much stir it was creating in the ranks of his conservative friends. if approved or disapproved my course i asked him to write or telegraph me at once. in a brief time came his answer. all right, go ahead. we'll meet you, radicals and all. at that meeting on february 22nd, 1856, george schneider, editor of the german language newspaper propose ad plank denouncing the no-nothings. the nativists present strongly opposed it. the conference threatened totheo collapse.

they knew about lincoln, though. that is, that is your moses, that is mr. lincoln. and the word spread and lincoln was surrounded by hundreds of people. by the time he had finished, thousands of people. and it was -- i would like to think that he realized this may have been the most important day of his life. the day that he understood the destruction of the war, the end of the war, and the changed relationship that african-americans would emerge from the war with. mr. carmichael: a true revolution. thenbrown's raid, suppressing the rebellion to the side of the slaveholders, and this no one could've possibly foreseen. thank you so much. you have been a dear friend to me over the years, and let me say to edith, you have been wonderful to me and my wife, and we are so thankful not just for your friendship, but you are a fantastic scholar. you have always been successful, engaging to people. we are so appreciative of all you have done. thank you so much, harold. [applause] mr. carmichael: this is my fault, we are going longer than i imagined. but if you have questions

you live in lincoln's house. a slaveholder, he does not free the slaves. enough with this jefferson stuff. you live in lincoln's house. lincoln lee -- lincoln reinterprets jefferson, fourscore and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. i am wearing my abraham lincoln time. i got it here at the constitutional center. a very good value. jefferson said all men are created equal, that is what he said right over there, but he did not live it, he did not breathe it. he did not do it. lincoln lives it, breeds that, does it, -- lives it, breathes, does it. that is what the new national constitution is all about, celebrating the new birth of freedom. in the new birth of freedom the bill of rights applies against the states. the original bill of rights was only applied to the federal government think of a bill of rights case. everyone is not a bill of rights case, it is a 14th amendment case. the first amendment is onl

would lincoln writes, -- was lincoln right? i say yes. the title the book is taken from the supremacy clause of the constitution. the constitution describes, it is the short little document and it refers to itself on a bunch of passages. i have an earlier version of the national constitution center document. it describes itself. this constitution self-referential he says it's a supreme law of the land. notwithstanding anything in any state. what part do you not get, south carolina? i have's kids and my wife and i say what part of noted you not understand here? ,f you don't like it individually, you can leave, you can't take the land with you and that's what the founders understood. let me give you one historical factor. lincoln channel the framers in powerful ways and from a midwestern point of view. you had a whole year in which the constitution was deliberated on up and down. we the people of the united states did ordain and establish this constitution. put it to a vote. ordinary farmers read the thing up and down the continent. they ha

[laughter] who was this lincoln? not the abolitionist but he was naturally anti-slavery that deepening understanding of the complexity the moral political constitutional dilemma began in his childhood the anti-a slavery dissidents in kentucky and indiana whose churches they attended and as a boy he would go down the mississippi river to new orleans he discovered it was the open air emporium slaves on auction on display and it shocked him as a congressman and he lived in a boarding house and experience to the invasion of slave catchers undoubtedly he knew the secret of the house where he lived it was a station of the of for ground railroad. they booted members times against the expansion in the of slavery in with the quiet assistance of the of leading abolitionist, he drafted a bill for emancipation in the district of columbia something he would make good on even before the emancipation and proclamation was issued but why even today there is emancipation day. but it never even received a single hearing in the houseari

they were leased to the white house by lincoln. when the lease expired and the cars became too dated, lincoln took the cars back and turned around and gave them to us. no,w the cars are provided by cadillac and are purchased outright by the white house. so they will not go back to cadillac or general motors or whoever. they remain property of the government to do with as they see fit. visitors always have a lot of questions about these cars. the question they ask all the time about the kennedy car is, of course, is this really the car in which the president was assassinated? because it is just hard to believe that it would have been put back into service and used for several more years after the assassination but it is. , it was simply a matter of the -- of time. they needed a car for the president, and it was faster to rebuild that one that to start from scratch. they ask about the reagan car, what looks like a spoiler on the with back. that is what they ask. likeis car have a spoiler a racing car? that is actually a handrail for

so what was lincoln's solution? the declaration of independence and the constitution were his guide stars. just as the patriots of 1776 and the founders of 1787 revered the declaration and the constitution and the rule of law, so too should future generations. let reverence for the law be breathed by every american mother. let it be taught in schools, in seminaries and in colleges. let it be written in primer spelling books and almanacs. let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. and lincoln concluded, let it become the political religion of the nation. let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and condition, let them all keep the rule of law." when that fails throughout the nation, lincoln said, efforts to subvert liberty will be fruitless and vain. abraham lincoln understood that the best way to ensure the survival of our edifice of liberty and equal rights is to enshrine reverence for the

those are lincoln's words. in his words, those gamblers were worse than useless and their execution in an abstract matter was never a matter of reasonable regret with anyone. but the executed gamblers had received no due process. by turning a blind eye to extra judicial killing, the government set a snowball rolling down a hill. next, said lincoln, they went after men who were caught up and hanged in other parts of the state. then friends of the earlier suspect. finally, strangers from neighboring states where in many instances subjected to the same fate. thus according to lincoln, went on this process of hanging until dead men were seen literally dangling hanging from the bows of trees upon every roadside. his second example was similarly vivid. as he described it, a man in st. louis was seized in the street, dragged away, chained to a tree and actually burned to death. all within a single hour from the time he had been a free man attending to his own business and at peace with the world. in this case there we

what was lincoln solution? the declaration of independence and the constitution were his guide stones. just as a patriot of 1776 and the founders of 1787 revered the declaration and the rule of law, so too should future generations. let it be grieved by every american mother him a letter be taught in schools and seminaries and in colleges, let it be written in spelling books and almanacs, let it be preached from the pulpit and enforced. lincoln concluded, let it become a political religion of the nation. let the old and the young and the rich and poor, let them all keep the rule of law. throughout the nation, efforts to subvert liberty will be fruitless and in vain.ha abraham lakin understood that the best way to ensure the survival of our liberty and equal rights is to enshrine the rule of law and hearts of people, not just in the words. that spirit, as we celebrate the constitution day thiss weekend, i want to thank each of you, and especially ed neeson the heritage foundation for everything to defend the rul

when lincoln served as a congressman from 1846-1848 and they were friends and lincoln wrote a letter to him. alexander stevens wrote a letter to abraham lincoln while lincoln was waiting to come to washington after he was elected to be president, wondering if there was anything they could do, if he had any suggestions and lincoln wrote back to him, i would really like to be able to work this out, he said, but we don't seem able to agree on the extension of slavery. he said in his letter that is the rub. you want to extend slavery and make slavery national while we want to restrict it. >> host: is your book written for a general audience or scholarly audience? >> guest: we wrote this book for students that we have been teaching, gary gallagher has been teaching for 30 years and i have been teaching for 20 years. he is teaching at uva and i'm teaching at ucla. we thought a lot about the fact that there was no short, succinct and yet provocative textbook on the civil war that would combine the chronological, political, economic, the progress of the battles, but also have thematic chapte

this is the image of lincoln that healer. lincoln the magnanimous. merciful in victory. no conquering hero. this was a lincoln who if given the chance what he really wanted to do when he got@confederate capitol was just sit quietly on a park bench with his son. right? in fact the park bench on which you can sit. so i have sat on that park bench. my kids have sat on that park bench before. it's lincoln the approachable. the chartable. >> with a lot of the other monuments it seems like that try to have this grandiose like stature to them. where it removes them from the environment that they're around and tries to draw attention to it. this one while it may try to draw attention, it does include this surrounding environment with it. it doesn't remove itself from it. and so it plays with the whole inclusiveness of binding information. that everybody should be be welcomed to this area. it should be something you have to look up to. >> right. >> to enjoy it. >> absolutely. this is lincoln as his most approachable self-. right. lincoln -- he did visit the city of richmond right

the union army, lincoln would be forced to negotiate. so, lee wants to move south and going.e war if he cannot win a political victory here, then perhaps if he keeps fighting he will continue to hope for political victory later, particularly since the 1864 elections are only a year away and if lincoln can be defeated and lee can keep the war, going then perhaps he will get the ultimate victory he want. but he's got to get the supplies home and feed his army. so, awful conditions as the soldiers in agony walk down what is now the fairfield road, through the cashtown pass, threw the distant moans. untains. happily, robert e. lee has undertaken efforts to make sure those mountain passes are secure. he's already made sure when his army retreats through the mountains into hagerstown and the potomac that there is a way south . the union army will try to do what they can to block lee's army from going south and going through the mountains. but, during the battle, robert e. lee will make sure that mountain passes are secure so that his wagon tra
