we are now about 20 miles west of the mississippi river which we cannot cross because of the ice. we have not been traveling on account of them being out of us to attachments the charities who must cross before we must cross. mississippi was full of large quantities of floating ice, which at times it is impossible. let's tell, they keep crossing. in hopes we get over in one or two weeks. we'll start in the morning again in our journey west. the roads are all in very bad order, as the ground was frozen and there it has been for the past ten days a general thaw, not even any frost. together with a good deal of wet, which will probably make the roads impassable. we must necessarily calculate on suffering a great deal from hardship in exposure before we reach our homes in the far west. we look to the almighty for strength and protection, to enable us to reach the place that destination. i said we are hardly halfway. until look forward on the determination of our journey, and our toils we can hope for the best. respectfully, george shakes. so principal chief john ross left last, after h

also in this first decade, they are moving to the mississippi river and louisiana. we sometimes think of this as westward migration, but migration is moving in multiple directions at once. this is the black population change at the same time. what you will see is that black people are being concentrated, and this is the pattern we will see all along, where they are of use to white people. the train of enslaved people is relentless and it is very efficient. down in natchez, mississippi, it had been a french town beginning to grow. this is the beginning of the sugar trade in louisiana. this has enormous consequences. you will also see upcountry south carolina, and this helps explain some of the pressure on the cherokee, because they are living where the cotton kingdom is expanding. this is 1810, 1820. the black population change. no sooner do white people take black people into areas than they start moving them. you can also see now, look at southern alabama. we know this is occupied by native peoples, but already white people are taking black people into that area. h

from the source and minnesota to the of boots fill the mississippi river called the 2300-mile pass to the united states having a third most populous river basin in the world. the mouth of the mississippi is the anchor of a vast expanse of marshland that expanse of the everglades to mexico. the martian always drawn people. only 5% of the land in the parish lay between the levy and could be built on. the rest was wetlands, surrounded by brides and great fields that overflowed with life. their settlement out their tiny clutches of wooden shacks built on stilts accessible only by vote or people subsisted on what they could shoot, or trap, or cash in a net. but for most of the parishes 24000 residents life exists on the narrow ribbon of land between the levy. everything was either up the road or down the road. you know, for me the first time i went there, that is where it was strangest to me. you literally can't get lost out there. there aren't any wrong turns to make. there is just one road. despite being 15 or 20 mitts from downtown new orleans, as was the most isolated places the united

now all of a sudden we end at the mississippi river. that's a lot of new land. you think of all the states between the east coast and the mississippi river, well, all the old states, the old colonies, are looking at all that land going, boy, that would be great as part of my state so maryland and virginia are arguing. they are arguing over who gets to use the potomac river and things like that, so maryland is kind of going, well, i don't want to sign this thing until everything is settled so there's kind of your issue that arises, and there will be others. there's a bill one point trying to pass through this room to raise money on essentially imports. take money from imports is like a tax tariff, and you put that to paying the soldiers, which, again, seems pretty logical. why would you not want to raise money to pay the army fighting for independence? well, 12 of the states agreed. that seems like a good idea. one, which happened to be rhode island, the smallest of the states, said no, and it failed. the vote failed, so the states individually have a lot more po

and it would be very much harder to hold the ohio river, to hold the mississippi river. and so lincoln knew that on constitutional grounds and on strategic grounds making this a war against slavery would be counterproductive. finally, lincoln knew that the north was hardly unified in favor of waging a war against slavery. after the shelling of fort sumter in april of 1861, lincoln issued a call for volunteers, and he said it was volunteers to save the union. if lincoln had issues a call for 75,000 volunteers to free the slaves, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere near 75,000. opinion in the north was by no means universal behind freeing the slaves for some of the reasons i mentioned and just the fact that for most northerners, slavery wasn't that big a deal. it was a really big deal for people like john brown and people who were full-time abolitionists, but for most people in the north, maybe they were mildly opposed, but to risk my life, to go to war for it? i don't think so. >> when did that shift? because that explanation also gives cover to the jefferson daviss who say,

you think of the states between the east coast and the mississippi river. all of the old states, the old colonies are looking at all of that land going, boy, that would be great as part of my state. they're arguing over who gets to use the potomac river and things like that. maryland is going, i don't want to sign this thing until everything is settled. there's a bill at one point trying to pass through this room to raise money on essentially imports, take money from imports, a tax/tariff, and you put that to paying the soldiers. it seems logical. why would you not want to raise money to pay the army fighting for independence? well, 12 of the states agreed. that seems like a good idea. one, which happened to be rhode island, the smallest of the states said, no. and the vote failed. so the states individually have a lot more power and sometimes one can defeat 12. a lot of people start thinking, this isn't working so well, including members of the congress. to by the end of the war, you have members of the congress writing letters to officers in the army as t

government would have to evacuate washington dc and would be harder to hold the ohio river, the mississippi river and lincoln knew that unconstitutional and strategic grounds, making this a war against slavery would be counterproductive. lincoln knew that the north was hardly unified in favor of waging a war. after the showing of fort sumter in april of 1861 lincoln issued a call for volunteers. he said it was volunteers to save the union. he issued a call for 75,000 volunteers to free the slaves he wouldn't have gotten anywhere near 75,000. opinion in the north was by no means universal behind freeing slaves for the reasons i mentioned and for most northerners slavery wasn't a big deal. it was a really big deal - people who were full-time abolitionists. maybe they were mildly opposed but risk my life to go to war for it i don't think so. >> host: went to that shift? that gets covered to the jefferson daviss, this is about states rights. >> lincoln's position that southerners would take after the war and say this wasn't about slavery but strikingly in the beginning of the war in most ordinances o

of preservation, recovered some of the older material that is kind of recovering east of the mississippi river. so we can say quite a bit how the meadowcroft population manufactured this and what they possibly used these containers for. the artifacts themselves are the medium through which used meadowcroft were articulated throughout their environment. >> as long as most organize in additions are feet, there is an isotope of carbon in the at most atmosphere anded transfer process radiocarbon 14, which breaks down at the rate of one-half of its mass every 5,731 years. so when you or a plant croak by measuring the amount of carbon interest in your carcass we can tell when given a few years. so when the first dates began to come back from those early fire pits and we begin to realize that the site was probably a lot older than we imagined it to be, there was great skepticism among the crew, because that's not supposed to be that way. gradually we became convinced ourselves that it was oldser than what we thought. and it became a very controversial place because there weren't any other ones for th

you see a big shift to red along the mississippi river. things that went wrong for democrats in wisconsin in 2016, milwaukee, turnout in milwaukee, heavily democratic city, but turnout in milwaukee was way down for democrats. then you just had a lot of these sort of blue collar rural counties flip in the state. it added up to a 23,000 vote victory there for donald trump. i believe when wisconsin was called, so was the presidency in 2016. the polls now are showi ining a different story for democrats potentially. craig gilbert knows wisconsin politics. wisconsin in 2016, we show trump winning. there was also a big polling miss in wisconsin in 2016, meaning, the final polls had hillary clinton solidly ahead and then she lost. now we see the final polls putting joe biden solidly ahead in wisconsin. what is the sense on the ground here? is the sense that joe biden really is in good shape in wisconsin or here are the polls setting up to be wrong again? >> i think the answer is both. we haven't seen really tangible lines of biden's lead shrinking

it is on the mississippi river. of course, today it looks a lot different, but still there are big beautiful live oak trees that were there. it's just a big open flat area. lots of birds. but it was really remote. i mean it was kind of in the middle of nowhere. and it was very mosquito infested at the time when these patients came. it was not a good place for people who were sick to be cared for. yeah. >> as i say, they could not get anybody to come work there, and they finally recruited the daughters of charity. and they were the only ones who would do the job. even they were kind of reluctant to come there. they actually did come, and started working there as nurses in 1896. then it gradually started getting built up and fixed up, they started building some dorms, they fixed up the plantation and then at the same time around the turn of the century, they were being in -- being pressure on the u.s. federal government to do something about leprosy patients. because there were few high profile cases of patients, and

western edge of the confederacy, it was isolated from the action taking place mostly east of the mississippi river mostly. it was largely untouched by the army. forecame a place of refuge fleeing slaveowners, they left arkansas, they left missouri as they were being marched upon by the union army. it was a haven for slavery. as it was deteriorating in other parts in the covered -- in the confederacy. there were few black soldiers that came from texas. another consideration was the violent backlash the confederates -- backlash by confederates. april,he war ended in they were still armed, still basically attacking african-americans who tried to claim freedom. they started in galveston and worked their way across the state. they lynched african-americans. they caught them fleeing. the process was conflicted in texas. texas didn't see a lot of action during the war so the action heated up all the enough when the war came to in and in april april.an end in they got tickets of -- they thought they could sustain slavery. most enslaved people were not freed until the army came in june and basically had to

and adam shacknai worked on the mississippi river as a tugboat captain. >> when he ties things off, hethen closes it with a single hitch or two. guess what knots are tied on both her legs and her hands. figure 8s, tied off with a single hitch or two. >> sheriff's investigators had questioned adam extensively after rebecca's death. >> you didn't hold anything back from investigators? >> nothing. squlu help . >> you 4e7d them to the extent you could? >> yeah. exhausti exhaustively. >> you thought you had nothing to hide? >> i knew i had nothing to hide. >> and when vergd determined there was no evidence placing adam at the scene? >> they cleared you. >> they did. >> did you think this was over at that point? >> yeah, i did. >> it wasn't over. rebecca's sister was determined to hold someone accountable. >> i'm guessing that somebody said to you that filing a lawsuit, a civil lawsuit to find answers in a criminal matter is generally an extremely unsatisfying way of pursuing justice. >> that may be. but my only recourse was the lawsuit. >> soon they would start to get answers. just not the

now we end at the mississippi river. that's a lot of new land. inc. about the states, the old colonies are looking at that, going that would be great, so maryland and virginia are arguing over who gets to use the potomac river and maryland is going i don't want to sign this until everything is settled. there is your issue that arises. there was a bill trying to pass through this room to raise money on essentially imports, take money from imports, there's a tax tariff and you put that to tame the soldiers. it seems pretty logical. 12 of the states agreed. one, happen to be rhode island, the smallest of this dates said no and failed. so the states individually have a lot more power and sometimes one can defeat 12. a lot of people think this is not working so well, including members of congress. by the end of the war, you have members of congress writing letters to officers in the army saying maybe the army should throw their weight behind something a little more strong in philadelphia because this is not working between the states. maybe we need the str

into this afternoon, tonight, and then you can see, bringing lots of rain, really across the mississippi river across northern tier of the country. we're talking about places in wisconsin, michigan could see some snow, as well as northern new england. as this pushes to the east, i think areas to the south are going to be entirely too warm for snow. even places like chicago is going to be all rain. all the big cities across the northeast should be all rain with this. so the extreme northern tier will see snow for thanksgiving, but looking at these temperatures, especially going into thursday, chicago, thanksgiving day, 4 degrees. new york city will be at 58 on thanksgiving. d.c., 66. and atlanta, 71. so, yes, a mild thanksgiving, but it could be a very wet one for a lot of people. >> well, look, which is significant, jennifer, isn't it? because a lot of people wanted to do things outside, but in huge population centers, it's going to be pouring all day. so that will not an option. >> right. >> jennifer gray, thanks so much. >>> more sad news to report this morning. pat quinn, cofounder of the i
