mr. lincoln and mrs. were able to have their own space, not necessarily to highlight problems in their marriage, but just so that each had their own space. privacy is not something you get a lot of in the 1850s and '60s, so mr. lincoln could stay in here, work midnight, 1 a.m. on legal papers or political views. mrs. lincoln would have to get up early to start breakfast. her two youngest sons slept in a trundle bed, pulled out from under her bed, and then across the hall was another bedroom that was robert's initially. as the oldest son, he got his own room. but as soon as he went away to college, his younger brothers moved right in. and then the last bedroom up here was the hired girls' room. they had a hired girl almost every year they lived here, and that girl then had her own space at the end of the hallway right up from the kitchen. we're in mary's bedroom now. and this would have been a sanctuary for her, as she was in a house full of boys and men and a lot of men coming to visit mr. lincoln. so she

mrs. lincoln, mrs. abraham lincoln, or mrs. president lincoln. mary todd is a 20th-century invention.the letter that shows some of her difficulties in the sense that her reputation suffered. she is writing to the assistant secretary of the treasury. asking if he can find a job for her dress maker, elizabeth keckley because she does no longer need the services and wants to get elizabeth onto the jobs list at the treasury. "i promise i will never ask you for another favor." of course, she did. over and over. personally, it was the death of willie. this was a piece of sheet music that we just acquired, only two copies report it anywhere. we suppose there are a few out there. it is hard to imagine how many people would have wanted to buy this outside of the lincoln's immediate circle of friends. a substantial publisher in new york, william hall, printed it. he was the first child to die in the white house and not one of only two presidential children to die in the white house. >> from springfield, illinois. going back to her need for money, abraham lincoln was a very successful lawyer in

mrs. lincoln "mrs. lincoln looked upon the white house very much as a symbol of this nation and took seriously her responsibilities not only as a hostess but as a woman responsible for the appearance of the house. this is a time when the country is coming apart at the seams so the symbolic value of america's house perhaps is even greater just like the president's order of the half finished house in the capital has to be completed. she took the same view of the white house. she got a lot of criticism for what she was doing. mr. seale: it was the first time a first lady since dolly madison had been repeatedly criticized in the press. they were ugly remarks about her close. she was a middle-aged woman who had lost one child and she was going to lose another one in the white house stuck she also had a hard act to follow. she followed james buchanan's niece, beautiful and personable. she was a personal friend of queen victoria. harriet lane was just the bees knees and the end of everything in this country. mr

mrs. lincoln.illiam seale: but she was sneaking pensions from the government and the houses were given by private people. pamela sanfilippo: right. i mean, there's a difference. and (if) the congress didn't approve of pensions and the congress was (inaudible) (and they're all) remembered, you know, as thugs sort of (inaudible) (in a popular way). william seale: they were vigilant. it was not all that bad a congress. they were vigilant. they were the ones that exposed these -- these three major scandals, the one closest to the white house, of course, being orville babcock who was sort of a part of the family and he got involved in the... susan swain: (pure) congressional oversight. william seale: yeah. they found him and he was tried and general grant testified. pamela sanfilippo: he -- he submitted testimony. he didn't actually come to st. louis for... william seale: first time a president had ever done that in a criminal trial. susan swain: next is (sherry) of independence missouri. sherry : hi. y

mr. holzer: certainly among noble element. lincoln when i let this moment go by, and on washington side, the triumphant bit he resisted doing when it would have been premature. mr. holzer:professor gallagher: what about what the audience wanted? they did not get what they wanted. mr. holzer: they got blamed. professor varon: we hear a lot of talk about guerrilla warfare that leverage >>. how much of an option was it. ? professor gallagher: people argue that jefferson davis called for a guerrilla war in a message that i mentioned, but he does not. what he says matt message is that the fall of richmond and feeders but frees the army of northern virginia to take to the field again. he imagines the army of northern virginia unleashed not a guerrilla war of some kind. a guerrilla war is absolutely and-- which is to establish a slaveholding public for stuff you cannot have a slaveholding society with a guerrilla war. i think davis was being misinterpreted, but lee would have none of it anyway. he absolutely said no, it will not change the o

mrs. lincoln was upstairs and the president was not in the white house.for about six weeks it was run amuck. ms. swain: congress recognized this and gave the family a $30,000 appropriation, which is a lot more money than the lincolns got. ms. swain: how did they use that money? guest: martha oversaw every penny. she would take carpets cleaned and have a smaller section that was still good, put it in a different area. she took down the wallpapers and had decor put up that was simple but elegant. ms. swain: the official washington, maybe the larger country reacted well to this after the lincolns? guest: they did. they were very simple people. and washington society appreciated that. they said that they were dressed simply but elegantly. martha did a lot with flowers and she made slip covers for the furniture. they respected her thriftiness. ms. swain: and one of the rooms she overdid was the state floor and which one was referenced the blue room and the famous east room. one of the traditions i understand that she created was by finding portraits of past pr

mr. beckenbaugh: lincoln was successful in turning because into religion. davis was unsuccessful in doing so for the confederacy. no one fought harder than jefferson davis but he cannot get other people to buy into the arguments. one argument lincoln has is if a minority can break up a union come under future conditions, it will break up under another one and it will be like the balkans. you see centralization and consolidation and collective action. lincoln was a great nationalist and was able to bring a cause of union and nation to the northern cause. davis failed to do that. mr. beckenbaugh: in davis's defense, he has the harder job. he is constrained by an ideology. the confederate government is based on this idea that slavery is good. that is a hard sale when only 20% of your population owns slaves. ym i fighting for this group of people who owns slaves when i don't own one? it is much closer to saying the white south is much more realistic in reconstruction then during the civil war. if there is one thing white southerners agree on, they don't want th

mrs. lincoln was upstairs, the president was, of course not in the white house.o for about six weeks, it was just run amok, actually. susan swain: congress recognized this and gave the family a $30,000 appropriate, which is a lot more money than the -- the lincolns got. how did the johnsons use that money in the white house? kendra hinkle: very carefully. martha oversaw every cent. she refurbished furniture. she would take up strips of carpet, have it cleaned and if it was a smaller section that was still good, put it in a different area. so she took down the wallpapers and she just had guilt decor put up that was simple but -- but very elegant. susan swain: and again, the -- the official washington, maybe even the larger country must've reacted well to this after the lincolns. jacqueline berger: i think they did. number one, they were very simple people and i think the -- even washington society appreciated that. they often times said that they were dressed simply but elegantly. and i think what martha did, she did a lot with flowers and she -- you know, she mad

mrs. lincoln was in the white house for two month and down of her mind, and mrs. ceckley took her back and rototill all but. is remarkable how things don't change. it allowed her to pursue her real passion which was -- she understood the situation with escaped slaves going in or those going to the union army called contraband and every emancipation, friedman. she understood there were many, particularly the elderly who have no where with all to get a job or housing or anything so chic established a relief organization and because she had such prominent friends was able to raise a good deal of money and awareness of the issue so she was able after her business fell apart to throw her energies into the free men relief, to working as well. that was what really struck me in this end, was how after the war as a result of the experiences during the war these women did move out front and take on their own causes and their own issues and they had been very involved and in flu when shall, now they were marching on to public stages themselves. davis after the war after she

brian: you mentioned that abraham lincoln, elected in 1860, that was 1858, two years after the caning, how often did this come up? mr. puleo: every debate. lincoln makes that point in every single debate. his basic argument is, if the slave power, as they called, were as unreasonable as brooks then perhaps compromise would be difficult. this is at a point in time when abraham lincoln was not an avowed abolitionist. he was oppose to the expansion of slavery, but at this point in 1858, he is not actively involved in the abolition of slavery. but the brooks beating of sumner is part and parcel of his thinking and moving forward. brian: as you reference in your book, david herbert donald wrote a book about charles sumner, but is the first time a book written about preston brooks. a biography. mr. puleo: i think david donald's biography of sumner is still the standard. the first volume in 1960, the second in 1970. it is brilliant. brooks, for the most part, has been portrayed as a cliche. the assassin, the bully brooks the ruffian and nobody has done much on brooks the man as i tried to do in this book. it is a dual biog

mr. puleo: at first he does not believe that lincoln is antislavery enough.

lincoln followed the abolitionist press? was there any sort of fear of their criticism of him early on? mr. holzer: i think he did follow the abolitionist press to some degree. no one knows whether he read frederick douglass' paper. if abraham lincoln had been caught reading an african-american paper would have been akin to a modern politician reading pornography and getting caught. [laughter] i'm not sure he read frederick douglass' papers. he talks about how right makes might. lincoln later repeats that. i know he read garrison to some degree because he jokes with garrison when he finally meets him about his publication and about the terrorism that had been leveled against his paper when he opened it. we know he read the new york independent, the weekly newspaper that was considered an abolitionist paper. you don't talk about what is considered the extremist press because to talk about it in the mainstream world was to give it a position in mainstream politics that was not acceptable. it's a calm located issue. -- it's a complicated issue. i didn't see you, i'm sorry. >> could you comment

mr. speaker. if lincoln scheyer is to have maximum benefit further improvements to transport connections are required. one such connection will be a service from london bridge cross to the stone thorpe area. it has been with them for a year. could you insure that a decision is made? >> i think my honorable friend is actually right to raise this, the importance of direct connectivity between his constituency and london. we are informs $16.4 billion. i can rey sure that we are listening the transport secretary announced we'll be retraining -- retaining the locations. >> the prime minister promised that he would seek the recapture -- why is he not even asking for this anymore? >> first of all, can i welcome the honorable gentleman back to this place. he's made some history because as a party of one he's managed to have a back bench rebellion which is something to be acquired. what i've said in terms of the renegotiation is a whole series of things that need to change making sure we deal with the problem of ever

[laughter] tony: i have been watching your photographty, and he said, you are a born photographer. photography had not entered my mind yet. but mr. lewis lectured me and i realized that my future should be an photography. so, that is the beginning. alex: tell us about you as a soldier and an artist while you are taking these images? this is you in normandy? tony: we are about to enter luxembourg here. alex: this is a picture of -- as you say, war at its most candid. how did you feel is a very young man, focusing on these kinds of events? tony: all through this picture i was crying. all of them. i had no mother, no father. i had two sisters that were put in a monastery. my $40,000 in italy, where someone ate them, i never saw them. and i want to show that the beauty of this world, to me -- here we are. at a tremendous speed, we are going around this earth that gives us life. so perfect. why are we so imperfect? why are we so mean to each other? why do we have wars? i tried to understan

learn more about lincoln all weekend here on american history tv. mr. osborn: the university of nebraska state museum is located on the campus. it is one of the oldest natural history museums west of the mississippi. the gallery we are currently in is first peoples of the great plains traditions shaped by land and sky. and we are familiar with a number of these drives, whether they are at -- these drives whether they are the cheyenne, arapaho, poni, the sioux -- pawnee , or the sioux. there are probably 20, 30 tribes that occupy the great plains. the pawnee had a great presence in nebraska. other groups moved through. siouxan groups moved down. but we also had the winnebago and the omaha and the ponta. i would venture to guess we have perhaps 300, 400,000 objects. many of the great plains items were, as i mentioned, collected after the civil war when hero americans came out from the great plains. if they were establishing missions even in terms of the military, they would collect various items of material culture and we have those in our gallery as well

mr. reed has just given you a statement by vice president stephens. however, let him give you a quote of the statement made by abraham lincoln that was very simple very e said that -- ask mr. reed if he knows the statement i'm talking about. >> i have to hear it. >> i will be glad to give it to you. president lincoln said that he was in favor of colonization that he wanted to deport the black people from this country. he didn't believe that they would ever be able to work together. he believed that there was a superior race and an inferior race and that in his opinion the white people were the superior race and that they could never live together. all of that is old but it is true that there was racism on both sides at the time and the war was not fought to free the slaves by quotes of lincoln himself, by jefferson davis. there were a lot of reasons for the war but that was not it. >> dan, you want this flag to continue to fly -- [ speaking simultaneously ] >> yes, i do. the flag was flying over the capitol in columbia about 15 years ago or so and there was a great turmoil about it at that time and by agreement, the legislature there agreed that they

mr. hester: william jennings bryan is probably most famous for the fact that he was nominated by a major party three times, the democratic party, but he lost the election all three times. he moved to lincoln in 1880 7. he was a lawyer in central illinois. he had a law practice in central and illinois and he went into kansas to collect some debts. he stopped in lincoln to visit an old friend from a law school in chicago. and he saw where lincoln and the state of nebraska, which was just booming, he saw a weak democratic party, so he sought some opportunities there. there started construction of this house in 1901 and he and mary would drive out into the country in a buggy and they fell in love with the hill that the house was built on. construction was started in 1901. it took two years to build it they moved in in 1902, and construction was finished in 1903. 11,000 square feet. mrs. bryant's budget was $10,000. she may have spent as much as $17,000. it's a beautiful house. the main area was used for political events, receptions etc. they would host a number of even world leaders would come here, but all kinds of political leaders. i guess the most prominent being that woodrow wilson came

mr. kramer: the court packing thing. when lincoln gets elected, they increase the size of the court because they want him to have say. when he's assassinated, they shrink the court. when grant is elected, they increase the court again. those kinds of manipulations. f.d.r.'s court packing was completely successful. you have to look at it not in advice lation. it was part of a package of pressure that you wouldn't have today because people say the kinds of things that were being said in congress in the 1930's would be shattered down across the spectrum and that's why, yes, there is some pushback. president obama makes this one offhand comment about citizens united which is so tepid. wham, he gets slammed by everybody left to right. how dare you criticize the supreme court -- that is is a long way. go back and read the congressional debates. the congressional debates around the new deal. that's a robust debate that doesn't exclude the possibility of judicial review but doesn't assume the court having failed in the meaning of the importa

mr. mubarak and the hawks do agree on one thing. >> former rhode island governor lincoln chafee announcingr the presidency as a democrat, when he voted against the war in 2003 he was the only republican to vote no. and it is a generational connection here. from vietnam to iraq the project for new american century going back 20 years. this is his reason for running. let's bring in the professor of politics at occidental college. also matt schlapp, chairman of the american conservative union. caroline lots of history here. can a guy mount a campaign on sins 15, 20 years ago in the eyes of liberals? >> no he's a long shot. lincoln chafee is this eccentric, but very principled person. he doesn't have high support in rhode island. the thing he's most known for is trying to change christmas tree to holiday tree in the state capitol. but this opens up something interesting for hillary clinton, because if he's not popular and he's polling at 1% it means that he can go after her in a way that the other candidates cannot. so he is the wild card in the democratic side on the primary. >> matt he's alr

mr. mayor, thank you for coming on the show. we are going to talk about this presidential campaign as a story. what makes them a great character? let's start with the first character, lincoln chafee, your old friend. buddy: lincoln chafee surprised everybody. he has about as much chance of getting a california -- democratic nomination as joe finding a california condor or me becoming a astronaut. he does not have much of a chance at all. his father was a u.s. senator. when bill clinton was going through his troubles of impeachment chafee's father voted against impeaching him. when john chafee died, lincoln chafee became the u.s. senator appointed by the governor of the time. guess who came in and campaign against him in favor of bill sheldon? that is a little plot twisting their. chafee has never forgiven them for that. i think that chafee could have won but for their efforts. chafee surprised everyone by saying that he was going to run for president. he got elected in a multi-person race after he lost the senator's job. he chose not to run for reelection because his poll numbers were in the 20's. now he wants to be president of the united states. unbelievable. i do not kn

mr. mcguire. >> good afternoon, chairman and director, i would like to clear up a couple of facts about the proposed move of the bus stop on lincoln from 33rd to 34th. first of all, the proposed bus stop would be just like the existing bus stop, a far side bus stop so as you can see in the item, the bus stop would be located on the easterly side of the intersection, this is a far side inbound bus stop. the rational for moving it to the intersection of 34th is that in the fall of 2015 we'll be installing a traffic signal at lincoln and 34th and that is a much safer place for pedestrians to access golden gate park to cross lincoln way finally the proposed bus stop is 100 feet long which means it's large

mr. scully: any campaign is about a choice. your campaign, if you are to run against hillary clinton or lincoln chafee or senator sanders, what's the choice? why you and not them? former senator webb: i wouldn't be running against any of them. i would be running for the presidency of the united states. that is my message. this country really needs leadership, not only that you can trust, but that you can look back and see a pattern of getting things done and a consistency and a willingness to listen. i think that's what we need now. mr. scully: finish this sentence. the state of america today is what? former senator webb: we remain and good leadership will enable more greatness. mr. scully: we are in your office in arlington, virginia overlooking the national mall. i know you spent some time at arlington cemetery. what were you thinking about? former senator webb: i have a lot of friends there. and my parents. so it is a great place to go to think about the country and service, remember people you care about. mr. scully: do you think a lot in this office? former senator webb: this is my writing office. mr. scully: what is your
