bill -- it didn't even make lynching a crime. it held accountable the authorities in whatever town or county who were holding a poor sole in their jail. if a mob came and dragged out this poor soul and lynched him, the authorities, that county sheriff would be held accountable for what happened. so basically what that said is it's okay to lynch black people in america and you won't be held accountable and go to jail for it. it's really a black bar on congress's history when you think about that. >> i think that's a good -- i'm sure you all have many questions we could continue in conversation, but i think that's a good point for us to end. and i think it's poig yant and pulls out from everything we heard today is to think about these descendants that they represent and what they represe went through throughout their lives and we can use that as inspiration for us, when we're challenged, that we are capable of being up to the task of pursuing what we need to do to bring justice and equity as their descendants did and as they conti

one of the other soldiers was jessica lynch. and you witnessed a little bit about what happened with jessica lynch's story. so talk to me a little bit about what the media sees, the story that is portrayed, and the reality, and how you feel about the fact that you're really in the crosshairs of that. >> it's difficult, you know? when we came home, lynch had already been rescued. we came home, and there were so many different stories about what happened, and things like that. and we're like, "none of this happened. where is this coming from?" of course, we got to talk to her before anybody else did. and she was at a loss, too, because she hadn't been allowed to speak to any reporters and stuff at that time. so i don't... we really didn't understand where these stories were coming from, how they were blowing these things out of proportion. so it is eye-opening to be on the other end of things, not just as someone reading the paper, but as the story itself in the paper. >> hinojosa: did it make you angry? does that... >> it got me

host: marc lynch. guest: this is no denying that the relations between the united states and israel are closed. they have deep military and intelligence relationships. there is a strong social bond between american society and israel. israel is a friend of the united states. it is sometimes a turbulent relationship. all you have to do is look at the tense relationship between president obama and the current israeli government to see that there are disagreements, conflicts of interest, and problems there. in my experience in the state department and defense department, these are hard working professionals who believe in the american national interest and work extremely hard. i do not think it is right to describe the state department of defense department as israeli-occupied territories. i do not think it is true. expertise, compassion, and the hard-working civilians in a i do not think you can sustain that. it is always important to consider all aspects. it is very important to look in your own example

and whether or not they wanted to, the strategic point was the lynch pin of corinth, mississippi. not only were they falling back before the, what would be soon advancing federal forces, they were concentrating forces from elsewhere. the gulf coast was basically stripped of all available manpower. leaving only token defensive forces. and in the aftermath of shiloh, new orleans would fall. pensacola would fall. all of them sacrificed for the national concentration they attempted to pull off at corinth. which was partially successful. because confederate forces did concentrate in large numbers, otherwise we would not have had the battle of shiloh. but opening up that river gave the federals an opportunity to pounce upon the railroads. thus, thus they will occupy pittsburg landing. and take advantage of close proximity to their targeted railroads. next map. the railroads are important because they feed the valley. direct line of communication. memphis and charleston in particular are the only east-west all weather rail link. junk tured with mobile and ohio of corinth, mississippi the
