george mcclellan has never heard it. the general protested, not now. i would prefer to hear it some other place and time. gave politicalgn cartoonists unbridled opportunity to exploit this failure theme of lincoln's compulsive jesting. in the cartoon columbia demands are children, and angrier -- columbia says mr. lincoln, give me back my 5000 sons. was the fact is, by the way, that reminds me of a story. machineoon running the has lincoln laughing at his own jokes while the new secretary of the treasury turns out greenbacks. antietam, the bogus episode offer the best target of attack. especially potent was a poorly executed cartoon headed commander-in-chief can ciliates the soldiers vote on the battlefield, which you also have in your papers. it places lincoln at the center in a long cloak and holding a cap, a reminder of disguise was said to have worn when cutting short a journey to washington as president-elect. several dead bodies are being carried from the field as an officer tends to a wounded soldier. signals his figure distress by holding a hand

and serve mcclellan's retreating troops. impressment meant becoming separating from their families, going to a place unknown against their will. it proved to be a pretty low point for this population. as one refugee remarked, good god, if this is the way we are to be treated, we may just as well been slavery. of 1862.the summer you might be thinking, but what about the emancipation proclamation? and does it come into play does it clarify things? well, yes and no. the timing of lincoln's proclamation was quite good from the perspective of people like the whitehursts. 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 tim

here is george mcclellan, the democratic nominee. he is trying to explain away this platform and this particular plank, which is so problematic. he cannot. there is nothing he can do to unleash himself from this albatross that landingham and the other copperheads have given him. so lincoln wins. that decides the way the war is going to end. the war is going to end with unconditional surrender. they will not be this cessation of hostilities, and the war is going to end with emancipation intact. that is not going away either. win is a landslide. really, if you want to talk about an election that is a referendum on the policies of the sitting president, this is here.t a right americans believe in lincoln now. that is going to be how the war ends. how the peace begins becomes something different because of lincoln's assassination, but that is another story, so i'll leave that to someone else to tell someday. and that is it for me. thank you very much.

ck, mcclellanism is rooted out. they were wrong about that. it wasn't really rooted out until they removed governor warren in 1865 in the most humiliating circumstances imaginable. the army has the confidence of the commanding general, and he takes the field unhampered with interference from any quarter. we anticipate the victory, which shall give the rebellion the finishing blow. the "new york times," like the "tribune," a republican's paper, -- a republican newspaper, develop a common theme. they are fond of shaking their heads in view of lieutenant governor's campaign in virginia, they say that grant has heretofore been successful defeating the rebel generals, he has never yet encountered lee. that is true enough. but do these people ever think that grant has ever fought lee, it is also equally true that lee has never met grant. a very good point. the "new york herald" judged grant, a soldier, "will not be mcclellanized," and whose object is to "crush the main army," the main armies of jeff davis, and first of all, the rebel army of virgini

the fact that president or president mcclellan have said nothing continues the narrative they are accepting repressive off arab spring the genes that are growing in the middle east and throughout the world today on the line of their shopping or unfair and what we know that egypt is failing on that front but also that the crushing of the democratic aspirations of egyptians or people throughout the middle east is continuing and it's continuing on our watch the fact that it's already been hours almost a whole day and not a single body of the international organizations the united nations the organization of african union the arab league the oh i see the united states members of the european council have not called for an independent investigation of the death of a world leader is quite telling and so what this indicates is that this karpal arms that card that president c.c. in the current an egyptian administration has been allowed to operate under of all out war and its own people suppression of voices of dissent upwards of 70000 prisoners the disappearance extradition of killings that this i

i think today in the days of the old days you had to deal with the eastlands and mcclellans and fulbrights, a segregationist. today, you have a whole different reality of the democratic coalition and power coalition has shifted dramatically to people of color and to the left, actually. >> absolutely. what i don't understand, i agree with what everybody has stated including senator boxer, who said democrats need to figure out way to beat up on president trump and not each other. context matters. when you get to the senate, you're 29 years old, they're segregationist, that's who you have to deal with not because they're segregationists but senators. context matters and so does recognizing the change in the democratic party and our country. he could have easily said that was a different time and i'm not that man anymore. he could have said that night. he could have said i had to make decisions based on the time at that time and the white and black community at that time. what i don't understand why he doesn't walk away from some of those things because he could and get the benefit of the doub

that was before the war and was immediately sent to fort mcclellan, alabama. and at that time, why the divisions did their own training and, later, during the war, of course, they changed. had folks designed to refill the replacements. so i went immediately into the h 22nd infantry regiment, and assigned to the mortar, 81 millimeter mortar, department. that's where i spent my earliest training. had a west point graduate as a company commander. so i had a good one. he was really tough but fair. that was all the -- well, the pre-war kinds of things was maneuvers in louisiana and in carolinas. and at that time, the 4th division was called the motorized infantry division. and they were designed to try to discover what kind of formation and organization we should have that would compare with hitler's mechanized outfit that was running across europe at the time. eventually, they changed us back to a regular infantry division before we went overseas in 1944. tommy: can you tell me a little bit about your training and then a little bit about the louisiana maneuvers? d

mcclellan is bold and for folks such as weak, because he is a bountiful source of asides that everyone gets. i wonder why. talking, theare focus, the pictures are static, so seeing in them what people are talking about requires a tool that i try to remind my students is an essential part of what historians do and what i think most people do not understand, which is imagination. it is sort of a dirty word where people think the only thing we do is sort of like an archaeologist, sort of dust off facts, and then lined them up on the table, and then that is the thing. there is a million facts. sort of chronicling a day would take all of us a lifetime, and we would not make any sense out it requires the ability to look at this and see one of the things that came up at almost every comment, which is transformation. the still evocative language of steve cushman who talks about thewood, and he talks about house of the lord becomes the house of course form and amputation. that is what wars do is they brutally transform our landscape, so standing in a place and trying to think deeply about how w
