through mississippi and louisiana. lot of folks back and forth on these tours is good to see all of you. if i haven't seen you come up and say hello and we will reacquaint. thank you for having me. this is wonderful for a i been looking forward to it for a very long time. brag on emerging civil war just a minutes i try to help out as much as i can. it's always a pleasure to help out chris and the folks that run it. helped out reading books, writing forwards and s' on it's a pleasure to be involved in anything like that. to be able to help out just a little bit. i applaud you and you are doing keep up the good work. nine years of the symposium. keep up the good work you're doing great. let's talk about vicksburg how many of you have been to vicksburg? all right, that is good. obviously i'm not from around here. [laughter] you understand that. you folks talk funny up here for some reason and i don't know why. but vicksburg very extremely importantai campaign in the civl war. we could break at a pretty good argument up he

you know with one foot on each side of mississippi river, a straight out of the mississippi. grant says, well, there's no real other choice. so we're going to do it. you know, you're you're worries. duly noted. that's fine. but we're going to do it anyway. and but now the key to that i is that sherman is so by this point in grant's career that even though he didn't like it, he still says, i will do all i can. you know, he writes his subordinates, i don't like plan. i don't like this roundabout plan. but we've got to support grant and do our best and sherman, you know, to his credit later says, i didn't like but you're right that you know, we did it your way and it worked by the way, president lincoln also sends grant a message after the vicksburg campaign and says, i've been watching and when you turn northward on the west, east side of the big black river, i thought you were making a mistake. i thought you should have done this and so on. but lincoln stayed out of it. and at the bottom of the letter, he says, i want to make the public assertion or the public admission that y

yeah, it does point um you can see grant's mississippi central campaign moving southward the mississippitral railroad through holly springs, oxford, down toward waterville valley. the confederates will pull back from these rivers. the cold water, the tallahatchie, the now, uh, back behind the yellow bush river there. and basically stop. grant will look at that and. just suck it. at the same time, sherman is southward on the mississippi river again supporting columns. they're supposed to support each other. they're too far away to support. but he moves southward along the mississippi river with the intention of landing near vicksburg and taking vicksburg. now, what was the result? obviously, both are failures, as grant himself will be turned back by a couple of calvary raids. nathan bedford forrest will ride around west tennessee breaking railroad bridges on the mobile in ohio when dawn earl van dorn will move northward and hit holly springs on the morning of december the 20th. so grant's big supply base is destroyed. grant's ability to refill that supply base is destroyed. and so grant h

it would be one thing if it somehow stopped at the mississippi river, that would be very convenient. it doesn't. there are plenty of people who argue that oklahoma deserves to be in discussion of the cell. maybe, missouri? what do you do with west virginia? west virginia was part of virginia, is seceded from virginia. they are the one who successfully carried out succession. they should arguably be part of the south. the way we solve this ultimately, it was decided to write a book about the south we commonly think of as the cell. more or less the states that during the confederacy or else sent a lot of people to fight on behalf of of the confederacy. yet, recognizing we were doing that because that is how we think of the south and it's useful for us to understand this region that we think of the south. recognizing that we would write the history of the region that does not start with jamestown. it does not trace people migrating west. that is not the story we tell. we are interested in the geographical space in the present day that we think of the south, to the extent that we can wit

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from mississippi is recognized. mr. guest: mr. speaker, george santos has built his persona, his personal and political life, on a foundation of lies. . many of those lies are well documented. we know mr. santos lied about his education, both graduate and post graduate. claiming he attended universities where he was never enrolled. claiming he obtained degrees he did not earn. we know that mr. santos lied about his employment when he claimed that he worked for two prestigious financial institutions, citigroup and goldman sachs. we know that mr. santos lied about his religious faith when he said he was jewish, and then later when called out said he meant to say he was jew-ish. . we know mr. santos lied when he said he had four employees killed in a mass shooting in florida. but, mr. speaker, those lies, while troubling, those lies did not justify his removal from this body. but these and other misleading statements reflect directly on mr. santos' credibility. . in may, mr. speaker, mr. santos said he looked forward to seeing the et

but they become a dynamic duo as they go down the mississippi.hy it is controversial today is because the n-word is using it quite bit, some people want it bad because of that, and they say that it cannot really be a classic because of that, and then twain was willing to do dialect. any time a white author starts dealing in dialect in any culture it gets tricky and sensitive, particularly now. ernest hemingway said all american literature emanates from "the adventures of huckleberry finn." it continues to live on and to be discussed and debated, and twain is one of our great writers because of his body of work, but this was the one that has lasted the test of time and is still red and talked about. but less so now because of that. >> what is interesting, and i'm skipping over to number eight, "their eyes were watching god," by zora neale hurston, was also criticized for using dialect. and alice walker, the great water, basically resurrected her and her reputation. >> zora neale hurston is a really interesting american figure. born in the south, c

the white citizens council that was birthed in indianola, mississippi, in the delta. it began producing right after brown decision huge amount of material, talking about the precious southern way of life, the sacred southern way of life. you have to defend this to the death so that the up the ante in the discussion of this term southern river. so when i grew up in the fifties and sixties that's it meant to me southern way of life. i thought about sports. i wasn't thinking about it at that point. but if i had, it would have meant the segregated. so the civil rights movement represented critique of that and the book deals with african-american critiques of all of these versions of the southern of life. i deal with intellectuals like w.e.b. dubois, with booker t washington, with richard wright, with zora neale hurston, some of my favorite characters in southern history and southern literature, and the critique that they made of this whole southern way of life racially subversion. so the civil rights movement is a very important chapter where it really brings to a head an

his work as a professor of history and southern studies at the university of mississippi on the encyclopedia of southern culture is well known. and his current book well received by the scholarly community will benefit a variety of readers those interested in the nashville area in particular will find his comments on the agrarians at vanderbilt insightful. and i wanted to read just two sentences that sort of talk about this phrase, a southern way. the concept of a southern way clothed in political and religious rhetoric and the passion of ethnicity came to have a life of its own. in the 19th and 20th century south, it was far more than an idea. it came to be virtually synonymous with the civil religion that tied the region's cultural values to intense evangelical religious faith and produced a structure of institutions, rituals, myths, beliefs, ideologies, and identities, which encouraged white southerners to invest enormous meaning in the southern identity. end quote. doctor brundage is the william umstead, distinguished professor of history at the university of north carolina at chapel hil

just after new year's day in 1963, james baldwin arrived in mississippi, as he embarked on a lectureality. it was launched in response to the violent riots that accompanied the integration of the university of mississippi months before. meredith's push to enterrole miss had been backed by medgar evers who had himself been rejected by the college simply because he was black. baldwin didn't just dine with them at their home in jackson's lone one-block black middle class subdivision, he also rode with medgar into the delta where medgar sent long days investigating the everyday indignities and vicious crimes perpetrated against black mississippians as the planter class fought to keep them ties to the cotton plantations where black families had been trapped during slavery. bauduin saw with his own eyes the fear and tearer of the men, women, and children, some of whom he had to smuggle out of mississippi. decades later, he recalled medgar as a great man, a beautiful man, and a troublemaker in the way baldwin respected. recalling that as he sped through the delta at top speed in his blue ol

>> yeah, yasmin, right now things in jackson, mississippi, are fairly calm. that could change in the next several hours as this city is among the 13 million people across the south from kentucky to texas that are under the severe weather watches for a potential of damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour. heavy rain and also the golf ball sized hail. even tornadoes with, as you mentioned, tornado watches already in effect for arkansas, mississippi, tennessee and kentucky and certain parts of those states. so this weather is coming as we are seeing this video from the west, where they are digging out from massive snow that they got with parts of utah getting as much as 33 inches. you showed that video, the dash cam video, where that man veered into the lane of a state trooper and the two almost collided. thankfully they did not. those are some of the conditions that they were dealing with in places like utah, colorado, there was an 18 car pileup. thankfully no reported deaths there. certainly some very serious conditions and as we look ahead to tomorrow, all of

charles missouri where the missouri comes to the mississippi. guest: it has been expanded, correct. host: where do you think it starts? guest: it's funny you mentioned it because i always thought where it started was in the library of thomas jefferson because it was actually alexander mackenzie's voyages book that sparked jefferson to say we need to go out there and claim some of this too for ourselves, at least find out what's out there. so where it started, you could say it started even here in washington dc because this is where jefferson was an jefferson was telling louis what he wanted on this journey. what you are supposed to write about, what you're supposed to see and collect and tell us about. what was the first part? host: you answer the question where it started and expanded. guest: philadelphia and also baltimore could be included, washington. harpers ferry is where lewis went to get all of the ammunition in the guns and his iron boat. all those places could be legitimately included in the lewis and clark expedition. guest: what about pittsburgh? host: yes, pittsburgh is

mississippi has changed.sking you to allow this law, we want you to go all out on roe, they go all out on roe in oral arguments. they've got five minutes. there's an effort you report on by breyer, basically, and roberts, to try to pull adjusters away from that, to find some consensus position that uphold mississippi law which would radically pair back rights but not then roe v. wade. what does the leak due to those efforts? >> so that's another thing we're able to establish in this reporting. i cannot tell you who leaked that document, and i can tell you for sure what the motive is, but adam and i can tell you the effect which is that the leaks cemented is these votes. part of the reason that the votes are secret is that justices do sometimes change their mind. they want that freedom. they need that freedom. history shows us that it has happened plenty of times with a lot of consequence. and so the leak interferes with that. it's hard to say what would've happened anyway. there isn't overwhelming evidence th
