[laughter] lincolnead a lot of screenplays and scripts and that is one of the stranger interpretations of lincoln that i have come across. he was also frequently in the thick of 1930's politics often scrutinized and celebrated. power went beyond political symbolism. he also struck a deep emotional accord with american in these years. knownandburg wrote a well multivolume biography of the president over the 1920's and 1930's. he probably did more than anyone to give lincoln and emotional have to. of swedish immigrant parents who had settled on the illinois prairie, and berg seemed attached to the notion that working people will and perhaps immigrants saw something in lincoln that made democracy vi

abraham lincoln was there, and he spoke. he apologized for being an interloper, as he put it, and cast himself as the subject of a story about a man, and i quote, with features the leaders could not call handsome. writing through the woods he met a lady on horseback. he waited for her to pass but instead she stopped and scrutinized him before saying, well, you are the homeless man i ever saw. yes, madam, but i can't help it. no, i suppose not, said the lady, but you might stay at. [laughter] and the editor stopped life -- stopped life in, he said with propriety, he might have stayed at home. i chose it because it is i wasularly apt. scheduled to speak your last year, but when it came to it i stayed at home. be theay possibly ugliest man you have ever seen, though i certainly hope not, but that wasn't why i stayed away. i simply wasn't well enough to travel. to johnecially grateful and the executive community of the institute for extending the invitation a second time. michael, whonk while i was working on my book on lincoln'

the furniture making of thomas and abraham lincoln. >> i love lincoln, and i always have. it's really grown since then. >> the duo begin by asking, what exactly is this mallet and where did it come from? see the half-moon shaped groove? it looks like part of a hole that had been drilled into a larger chunk of wood. steve concludes that that hole once held a much longer handle, and that this mysterious relic began as a completely different tool. >> okay, i brought with me today a maul which looks pretty much identical to what that mallet would have looked like originally. >> is this the kind of thing that lincoln used as a young man as the rail-splitter? >> absolutely. and if you look at the lincoln mallet, you can see it broke, and it really split almost symmetrical. >> so, lincoln's broke and was repurposed? >> yes, into a smaller bench mallet. now we're no longer hitting wedges to split rails with it, but something a lot smaller. >> it's on the freshly exposed surface that the new mallet is dated with nails that steve confirms are consistent with 1829, and, of course, it

was none other than robert todd lincoln. the headline at the time was "booth saves lincoln." what motivated booth? there are several theories. book thatre's a propagates the theory there is a case of sibling rivalry. edwin was a more famous actor than john, and indeed, he had , i am going to act in the north. you are going to act in the south. smaller audiences, less notoriety, which is one reason very close toe the southerners. he was also a racist, of course, and that's part of the motivation. this is lincoln's second inauguration. the arrow points to a man in a enlarge which, when you it, that is considered by most people to be booth. when booth himself stated -- there was an excellent chance if i had wished to kill the -- what next lent chance if i did wish to kill the president on inauguration day. if iat excellent chance did wish to kill the president on inauguration day. why was he there? ticket from lucy lambert. he was engaged to lucy lambert. they may have attended the inaugural ball together. this photograph was found on booth's body. the photographs of four other

the rise and fall of lincoln's opponents in the fall. this talk was part of a con frens hosted by schenn doea niversity. >> there a lot of great things about institute and having the great pleasure to work at shenandoah university and one neat thing about the institute is that historians, there are so many civil historians that publish great work and had times, you never get to meet them and you can only admire them from a war. i've been familiar with jennifer weber's work for years and never had an opportunity to meet her, we're both at a conference this summer but there, but never hadded a chance to connect. so i'm glad that we're able to bring her to shenandoah. are weber is a associate professor at the university of kansas this academic year, she's a visit proing fessor at united states air force academy. the book has been called "copperhead", on sale out this the lobby and a children's book. her current ro jekt describes the rise of a large, owerful government. please join me in welcoming dr. ennifer weber. >> good afternoon, it's t

americans believe in lincoln now. how the peace begins becomes something different because of of lincoln's assassination but that is another story so i'll leave that to someone else to tell, some tachlt and that is is it for me. thank you very much. i am glad to see i didn't lose many of you there. is there any organization within the nights of the golden circle? >> they had bilaws and they signed up for stuff. and they're supposed to be secret and they weren't because they were so chatty. so interesting thing about the copperheads generally had is that it tended to work in nodes. they didn't really organize, say arcs cross state lines or within a state. they're just kind of scattered out there, and that is a fair characterization of the knights of the folden circle as well. and c-span, i'm sure would like you to have a microphone. >> copperheads were mostly immigrants starting these. so whether politically organized is not a question. they opposed lincoln administration policies. does that answer the question? okay.

the lincoln administration is confronted with this almost immediately because lincoln does not believe that the confederacy -- he does not regard the confederacy as a real thing. you can sense as lincoln talks through the war him talking about the so-called confederate states. he refuses to acknowledge that secession is possible and that confederacy exists as an independent state. he has an effect lost the war from the beginning. the question happens as u.s. forces and these confederate forces start coming into contact what is the condition of these men claiming to be soldiers of this independent state lincoln does not believe is independent. the new york times suggests what confederate want is to be declared of the enemies. this is a journalist writing in the new york times who describes the difference between being a prisoner of war which involves honorable restraint and a captured trader for which you may be hung. seaserges on the high first. there are confederate letters of mark issued by jefferson davis to privateers going out doing the work the confederacy does not have much of a

[applause] jane,r lincoln: thanks, and thanks to the historical society for doing so many great things. i read your publication that comes in the mail, keep it coming. this is a wonderful photograph that ron sent me. i can't thank you enough for sharing it with me years ago, when it first came out. we were sitting there going, oh my god, is there going to be another opening statement. [laughter] thank you veryn, much for having me tonight, and ron, thank you for asking me. i'm grateful to be here. on the i not only served committee together, but we are blessed to get to work together, it's a lot of fun and we are really doing some good stuff. so i appreciate that. pat roberts, thank you. just as i wanted from day one to be on the senate finance committee, when i served in the house of representatives, i came to the house as a staffer in 1982, but i won my election in 1992 to the house. the democrats were in the majority, and i asked for five committees. because if you don't ask, you d

no wig, arguing with lincoln. in fact, stevens was so sick he had to allow butler to take over as lead prosecutor and couldn't finish the one speech he tried to give. but dixon needed a villain who was rumored to have a mulatto mistress and was a prime architect of the black plague. for kennedy, it was a black nightmare. obviously, the focus is not on ross. it's on johnson. in fact, ross doesn't even appear. the film technologies that it's -- acknowledges that it's medium requires taking certain liberties. for instance, even though johnson didn't appear at his own trial, in the film he comes in and gives a stirring defense. the film produces drama by pitting johnson against stevens, who's played in a wheelchair by lionel barrymore, who is perfectly cast. he just played the villain and it's a wonderful life. and the screenwriter was good at creating monsters. these are the three different works. they have lots of similarities, but there are different stakes in their betrayals. for kennedy, what was at stake was the

area it seems -- lincoln. it seems to be appropriate for the confederacy and the situation jefferson davis you there were challenges and divisions. a number of different levels. the key was i talked about were the apache personality conflicts, -- the person out conflicts, the media criticism. the important fact that so many people in confederate territory to not want to accept the authority of the confederate government and would rather have called abraham lincoln president then jefferson davis. davis's of jefferson response to all of this, i think it is a next bag. as i said the beginning, i think he has -- criticisms of davis's readership have been overstated in the past. he dealt more effectively, or tried to deal effectively with some of these challenges, for example, making the case for white southern yunis, that the confederacy actually represented a better version of the union then the one they wanted to go back to. from the slaveholder perspective, the confederacy was the perfect combination of america

asrecognize abraham lincoln one of america's most principled leaders. he never compromised on matters of principle. that gaves a lawyer this advice to his fellows. persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. point out to them that the domino winner is often the real loser. as a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity to be a good person. you need to be prepared to compromise when you can do so without violating your principles. of course you will face pressure to compromise on things that matter most. perhaps even to trade virtue for the appearance of virtue, but you should exercise caution when circumstances tempt you to disregard principles. as robert mueller once said, there may come a time when you will be tested. you may find yourself standing alone against those you thought were trusted colleagues. you may stand to lose all you worked for, and it may not be an easy call. principles exist precisely for those moments. when you grow old and reflect on times when you stood firmly for what was right, although it was painful and co

abraham lincoln became president with votes from the northern states. in the white house he faced a challenge of historic proportions. after his election in south carolina moved 1st soon 11 slaveholding states seceded from the united states the president decided to use the military to force the south back into the union. the civil war waged over differing definitions of freedom cost the lives of 600000 soldiers and 500000 civilians 2 percent of the population. it remains the country's bloodiest conflict. half of those killed could not be identified. in may 1981 the white slave owners on the sea islands and like every year left for the summer. their slaves remained behind. the north took the opportunity to seize control of the islands and arm several 100 gullah slaves. many of the men took pride in wearing the blue uniform and in joining the fight for their freedom. union forces soon occupied the nearby city yoko for thanks to the 1st south carolina volunteer infantry regiment. it was one of the 1st black regiments in the union army. the north now began

and the 2018 lincoln prizewinner. one of the things he has done throughout his career, he has made a point to speak to public audiences. evidence that this academics gap between -- therec historians is maybe a gap, but it is ever so slight. it is close in large part because of academics like professor ayres who also does a popular program entitled back story, which you can get on a podcast. please welcome professor edward ayres. [applause] >> hello, everybody. did you have a good lunch? i had five carrot pieces and a bag of m&ms. i am fired up. i had the peanut m&ms. there is little protein in there. i know you folks have been thinking and working hard about this issue. i wanted to be honest. i wanted to come here and be sincere. i hope youanation -- and i spun asian. explanation. it has to be some kind of record. how can it be legitimate? peter was talking about academics. is not really challenge anybody's idea of what our lives are like. how can someone think about the same thing for that long? you do think if about

what about the lincoln speech monument? those are the ones you would think would be preserved, and you can read this itinerary in the very last category of monuments not to be melted down, not to be melted down, because they're so important. the park service listed three. one of them was virginia. first confederate monument opened in 1917. the second one was north carolina. a monument that's scrument by the same individual that does mount rushmore, so it had artistic merit. the third monument is the state of alabama. so the national park service's priority, if the war becomes so cataclysmic that they've disassemble the the monuments, is to save the three confederate state monuments. they justify this because of the monument's artistic merit. we know the war doesn't become that bad, but think about disasempling the gettysburg commemorative structure, think about what the veterans would have said about that, how important those monuments were to them at the time they erected them. so visitation to gettysburg in the 1940's is

lincoln if you are shucking. you send it when you show nothing. you don't send the abraham lincoln unless you want to make a statement. this is the ultimate in american military prowess. it has the ability to rain lethality unlike the human mind can imagine. this is the abraham lincoln, a nimitz class aircraft barrier. a part of a battle group. it is the equivalent of sending a military base. you don't send it to bluff. this is why we must be concerned. we have to be concerned because if you sent it because you're bluffing, are you playing with american military prowess. and if you sent it because you are going to use it, you have to come to congress. congress has to give the word. we don't play with this kind of lethality. there is a reality associated with this lethality that we cannot imagine. we have no way of predicting what can happen if we use this ultimate form of militarier force. we obviously have it to defend ourselves, defend our allies, and i don't object to defensing the defensive nature of military

we were moved to the city and that is when we transitioned to lincoln high school.we were not living in san francisco so i could not and roll him into that district. he has excelled on the honor roll. lincoln has been a stabilizing force for him, and it was a very rocky family time. during november 2018, the kids and i spent thanks giving week with my husband in south san francisco. this is during the time that our residency was investigated. separation was complicated. no matter what is happening with the adults, we have to know -- we have to be there to support our kids, especially during the holidays. despite all odds of him being african-american and latino, living in a household with separated parents, he has excelled at lincoln high school. his teachers and the principal have recognized them with the big contribution he has put in at their school. i understand what the investigators concluded that we live in south san francisco based on their sight visit, but the inclusion his wrong. even so, i am happy to pay the fee, but my son lives in san francisco, and i

and you remember, abraham lincoln manages to persuade 1% more people to vote for him than they had in 1860. ok? that's how close this was and why the events on the battlefield and on the homefront and in the south and in the north and the events of men and women, black people, white people, are the same story. pull them apart to see what people are doing, but they all come back together. but neither union victory nor emancipation that came as a result of that victory was preordained by numbers, manufacturing or moral superiority. we are fortunate that the united states survived. and we should be grateful for that deliverance rather than being certain that it was destined from the outset because they were modern like we are. the third plot line is both the most straightforward and the most powerful of all. from the first moments of secession, as cassandra showed us today, enslaved people did everything they could to escape and then destroy slavery. they escaped slavery and went to the aid of the united states within three weeks of virginia's secession. after 200 years of slavery in vir

>> [inaudible] without those, lincoln was reelected. those were the major battles. dr. gallagher: the importance of the west, while you have a stalemate in the east, when the army of the potomac of the army of northern virginia, the world is going to hell out west, and it is from the very beginning of the war. i mean, vicksburg looms large during the war. i never quite understood why it looms so large, because the key to the mississippi river is holding new orleans, and that is gone in april of 1862. so, the mississippi ceases to be a confederate river one year into the war. one year into the war. that is a huge victory for the united states. what retrieved the situation for lincoln in 1864, you got half of it, is atlanta is half of it and because americans then, now have short memories, the shenandoah valley coming closer to the election, also played a key role there. i do not pretend that things in the west are not important. my argument is that the east looms larger and that people in various ways made that clear. and i think that if the west were really the most imp

abraham lincoln did get criticized by the press. the country was facing a existential crisis.ncoln and donald trump, there are so many i'm not going to elaborate on all of them. but one of the differences is that lincoln believed that his job was to try and unite the country at a time of division rather than further divide the country, so he didn't come out and accuse the press of being treasonous and didn't come out and attack the press. he tried to use the press to his advantage, like every president. like every presidential candidate i've ever known. by the way, i've never known a president who thought that he was being treated really well by the press. >> right. if we're doing our job they don't think they're being treated well. >> of course. >> there's another incredible moment in this interview with george stephanopolous in which the president's chief of staff, mick mulvaney, was struck by a coughing fit. let's take a quick look. >> at some point i hope they get it. >> you're going to turn it over? >> no, at some point -- i might, but at some point i hope they get it bec

lincoln introduced it publicly month after their store was raided. in september of 1862, the proclamation is issued publicly. we have rejoiced with you in a proclamation of the president, was how a local missionary described the reaction. witheople seem to rejoice joy at the prospect of freedom at new year's. the proclamation now made it clear that the union did intend to free them. they would just be suspended in some kind of contraband refugee status. their time in union lines, despite the setback and devastation, would not be in vain and would result in permanent freedom. naturally, a celebration seemed in order. gathered atthe area a public median hampton in november of the constituent to meetingplan -- public in hampton in november to draft a plan. they decided to set january 1 aside as a day of thanksgiving with prayer sessions where they would pray for deliverance from the yoke of vonage. dage.-- vonage -- bon they pledged to close their businesses and not work that day. newsts were high until came the next month in december of 1862 that presi
