it was at that moment the governor andrew of massachusetts lept into action to form the 54th, massachusetts regimen he had actually been thinking about forming the regimen for quite some time, massachusetts in general and of course boston specifically was a hot bed of abolitionist sentiment and he had very much wanted to pull together a troop a regiment of african-american soldiers. so he looked to many of the most prominent tuition is in the massachusetts area in boston specifically to form what was called a black committee which consisted of not only noted african-american abolitionists such as frederick douglass, but also white abolitionists as well such as wendell phillips or george luther stearns. they formed the black committee and started to rally support around the idea of forming a regimen of african-americans. they got together a group of recruiters and along this wall over here. we have pictures of many of the men and women who spread out across the north seeking african-americans to join the 54th, massachusetts regiment. at the time of during the civil war each state would put f

in particular massachusetts and virginia, okay? so marshall is virginia, story is massachusetts. think about all of the other virginia-massachusetts teams. retorically, james otis from massachusetts and patrick from virginiament and first president and vice-president, george washington and adams, worked together in 1776 and so did jefferson and adams, again virginia and a massachusetts person. adams is vice-president, is a virginian, thomas jefferson. one of jefferson's vice-presidents is massachusetts gary, he's going to be one of madison's vice-presidents. so the north-south team, massachusetts and virginia is important, so, the answer to your question, the last founder, he strengthens the judiciary and he's a washington man, a hamilton man and a continentalist and he finds a partner for another reason and he and story together makes an impressive team just as washington and hamilton do, and just as madison and jefferson do. >> i think it's fair to say that both of us, if we're not exactly members of the federalist parties, we're very sympathetic to it and you know, this has be

think about all of the other virginia, massachusetts team, rhetorically james otis from magic massachusetts john henry from virginia. your first president and vice president are george washington and john adams they work together in 1776 by the way so did jefferson and adams. again a virginia and massachusetts person. adams is a vice president as a virginian one of jefferson's vice president as a massachusetts guy he is also going to be one of madison's vice president's. the north/south theme of massachusetts and virginia is important. the answer to your question about john marshall he is the last founder he strengthens the judiciary he is a washington man a hamilton man a continental list and he finds a partner from another region they make a really impressive team just as washington and hamilton do and just as madison and jefferson do. >> i think it's fair to say both of us if we are not exactly members of the federalist party were very sympathetic to it. this was an animating talk for the last few minutes. none of odd. i agree with what you said. but after all he is who he is. so what yo

they are from virginia and south carolina and massachusetts men. newspapers the british try to treat them all pretty badly, they step back. in the newspapers, they talk to themselves into being american and basically say to themselves, okay, there's a lot of religious diversity but you know what, that can't be a strength rather than a week is network medicine comes in and the religious diversity can be a strike. and at the time, another many people paid attention the main argument was the geostrategic of washington and hamilton and franklin to join or die idea. the religion will be a stumbling block. here's one final thing, but know if i told you. but two places in the world that are pretty self-governing and free our defense in the active union and the swiss. in the swiss, there was a german italian french and they don't have the same religion, the protestants and catholics so how they came together what's makes them work right, democracy and if god actually catholics and protestants. and in britain and here's with federal say especially but they

anddde alexander hamilton to bow phrase, america, he isn't just about massachusetts the way john adams might be of the virginia in the way the tom jefferson or james madison. he doesn't have a single loyalty to money anyone say, he does come to new york and he comes from abroad and he loves america as a whole and he tries to be summoned into existence as of the key idea is union, join or die and national security and if we do not create an indivisible union which is what washington is advocating in the early 1780s and so is hamilton called the continental list then they will become the first page which are far more influential than anything that he wrote and make it geostrategic argument for unions, they pulled together and yes you can have a huge mode called the atlantic ocean, you won't need a big army, and the powers of europe as long as we don't kill each other, we've got to get rid of the land borders and make it like that unions of scotland and england. so britain had 10 million people they beat france with 30 million people and how do they do that are that goodpl capitol structu

about all the other virginia, massachusetts teams.d patrick henri virginia. first president and vice president george washington and john adams and they work together in 1776 and so did jefferson and adams. adams is vice president and the thomas jefferson, one of jefferson's vice president and he's also one of madison's vice president so the north and south team of massachusetts and virginia is important in the answer to question, he's the last founder, he strengthens the judiciary, he's a washington man, a hamilton man continental list he finds a partner from another region, they together an impressive team just as washington and hamilton and madison and jefferson. >> i think it's fair to say both of us if we are not exactly federalist party, we are very sympathetic, very good work with thomas jefferson i agree with what you said but after all, he is who he is so busy at? let me begin by saying as a young person from i adored jefferson and was skeptical of. you and other people changed my ideas about hamilton, lynn aranda but rick as

we'll be coming to massachusetts in just a few moments. baker, is giving people in that state an update on the situation with hurricane henri as it continues to barrel towards southern new england ahead of an anticipated sunday landfall. let's go to that now. >> for eastern massachusetts and for most of cape cod and the islands. eastern massachusetts shouldn't see the widespread hazardous driving conditions we were worried about yesterday, but this is new england and it's hurricane season. so please continue to pay attention to your local weather alerts as the forecasts do tend to change. there's still the possibility of widespread power outages in just about every part of the commonwealth due to high winds and the heavy rain. across massachusetts we will likely see tropical-storm-force winds, which will be somewhere in the vicinity of 40 miles an hour on a sustained basis throughout tomorrow. regardless of wherever you live, even if you don't normally lose power in a storm, you should be prepared to deal with the possibility that you coul

so how do you cut off massachusetts? >> you create like a board almost, you cut them off from the ocean and you basically trap them. >> you blockade them and -- >> don't you blockade the hudson river? >> yeah, you take new york, go up the hudson and you can split them off. now, this is one of the worst kept military secrets, washington knows they're going to attack there, the british know they're going to attack there, so why attack there? >> it's the only thing they can do. >> well, the british know they have a good shot here, it's a harbor, they can use their navy. washington in a lot of ways is reluctant to defend this, but the continental congress said, no, you must, because what is the basic obligation of government? >> protect its citizens. >> there you go. and if they don't do it then they are failing just as the british had and attacking their citizens literally in lexington and concord. the declaration of independence is read right before the battle of brooklyn, battle of long island and these are the reasons th

i tried to treat some direct communications in massachusetts. one of the things i'm working on now is the book about the lives of western shaker is him and one thing i noticed is the biggest shaker missionaries that traveled to the west in 1805 and another period of intensive revival is the great revival. it's the birth of the american bible belt. kentucky and ohio when they met people there were surprised to find many of them were already going along with ideas about sexuality and marriage. ac prizing number of people that they talk to, would say things like we tried to practice and i tried to practice celibacy for a few months during the revival we were not able to do so. they became a radical becoming some of the shakers first convert. the when is it new jersey transplant and a founder of the account of hamilton, ohio. he was all excited about their teaching and their messages. the shakers that initially he would be a convert until a search on with the radical ideas that he could be partnered with anyone he wanted. and then the shakers were h

in 1781 the massachusetts superior court sentenced several members of hicks's group to be whipped and sit on the gallows wearing in good nathaniel hawthorne fashion garments and blazing with the letter a as punishment for their adulterous in discretions. baloo and most of the hicks faction eventually rejected the principle of what they called spiritual wifery instead they moved on to become the founders and leading members of the nascent universalist denomination, which swept across the northern new england hill country early in the 19th century. another notable member of miller's separate church in cumberland was jemima wilkinson whom you see here in the bottom left corner? a young woman from the neighboring town of smithfield, rhode island languishing with typhus during the british occupation of providence in 1776 wilkinson fell into a fever's trance during which she was visited by a pair of angels clad and white robes and wearing golden crowns. rising from her sick bed wilkinson proclaimed that she was the person of jesus christ come forth and now appears in her body with all the m

they begin to realize whether they are in massachusetts are down in virginia or in other colonies and my story begins with 1760. they begin to understand what they have in common with each other. they are talking to britain initially and they see themselves beginning in my story as british subjects in the new world. .. people on the middle were looking at both sides, and newspaper of journalists, they are indispensable to this project. they are talking initially on what will become the declaration of independence, and then eventually they have talked themselves into becoming visibly americans. one nation, indivisible, not the constitution. and they do it ethically through political cartoons, words and pictures, some very highest polluting stuff. and that includes an inclusive and robust and uninhibited wide-open distinctly american experience. cemented free-for-all. we are so we are talking about more than just a big name. and you do cover them. you cover the people on the presidential placemat and that is the cast of characters that is much bigger than that. >> yes, it is, for exampl

if you viewed mention places like historic jamestown, the plantation of massachusetts in colonial williamsburg. a few people mention the history of slavery. but i thought was very interesting it was notably because the 1519 a project in the black lives matter protest. what's interesting was there a few omissions. no one mentioned individual women or any individual indigenous people by means. no one if i am recalling correctly mention anything west of the appalachian mountains much less western mississippi, the rockies of the west coast. typically speaking this course runs from the contact of the indigenous people in 15th century to 1763 the end of the seven years but is now the territory called the united states of america. obviously this hundreds hundreds of years, millions of lives, half of which were women. people from africa, mostly enslaved. and not of their own volition as well as multiple countries and empires in europe england being one among these but not the first to establish a permanent settlement as we discussed as well as indigenous people in durham mingling with africans on what

old roommate pilleg wadsworth is representing massachusetts with nathan reed. nathan reed is a scientist from salem, massachusetts, and he is interested in steam engines, and applies for patents there before he serves in 1800. he only serves one session. he and thatcher and wadsworth reside in a boardinghouse. so he only serves one term, and so now they have a roommate manassas cutler who leads a congregation from northern massachusetts. he is an everyman, a lawyer, merchant, and many may know him of the subject of the book of the development of the ohio country, because he is one of the lobbyists of the ohio country who promotes the settlement of the ohio river valley. so from now on most of the letters and the primary voices that you will be hearing are nathan read and mannasa cutler and lucky for us they left voluminous records of their writings. and that is up in massachusetts and besides them being colleagues, and the writings they left behind, but they are colleagues and roommates in the boardingroom here, and if you can see the curser, but it is right he

they were playing by the massachusetts rules and the scoring was clearly a little bit different. but the importance of this document, which is probably the only original which survives is that this is an early stab at sports writing. a lot of the coverage involves how the players arrived at the game site, how they liked their hotel, the accommodations, things like that, so it is an unusual document. the game was part of a double header, baseball and chess. so one day they played baseball. the next day there was a chess match and coverage of the chess match is on the other side as well. we have here an early box score. not long after that, after the civil war, what we have here is what's considered a prototype for baseball cards. and it is considered the earliest existing baseball card. it is the brooklyn atlantics champions of america. they went to the studio, had their photo taken, made copies and then they would pass this out to their fans and admirers as well as opposing teams. it is not for 20 or more years before manufactured baseball cards as we come to know them are being

we've got examples from the 1850s of the new york game and the massachusetts game. you can see in the new york game the very familiar diamond that we're all used to. but massachusetts had a competitive rival game which was in the shape of a rectangle. and these two sort of battled for supremacy in the mid-19th century. but it's the new york game with the popularity of the new york press their enthusiasm for the game, their constant coverage of the game eventually it's the new york game that's going to win out. of the things we've just shown you everything in here is original with the exception of this blow up of the illuminated manuscript. these are all from original -- all original pages. and one of the things that surprises a lot of people when they come to the library of congress and they see this exhibit or hear us talk about is that we have very large sport collections. we're a premier secret sports archive if you will at the library. through copyright we've received everything from early rule books to team directories to hand written histories of leagues and t
