mrs. lincoln said we are going to give $200 to help fund this association. president and first lady would continue to give money for these relief organizations. it was also people within the african-american community helping together food and provide shelter, providing money , so these encampments were funded through usually church groups, and not was it only working in the d.c. area. there was another woman, harriet jacobs, and she found refuge and freedom in new york where she met a quaker woman. they teamed up, came to alexander and also works with these contraband camps and provided money, food, shelter, clothing. they also helped establish education programs and many churches offered night schools not only for children but also adults so they could become write, signad and their names to contracts because they were trying to look for and get jobs. along with women working outside these contraband camps, women in the camps were also working to make sure people were educated. one woman in particular was literate and she would have tablets and write down

mr. lincoln, it was a sacred effort. incoln's final words to this man with whom he had collaborated on a plan of further liberation after emancipation was i'm glad you liked it. it was as douglas remembered it the last time i saw him to speak to him. the address became iconic as you see. lincoln posed two days later for a photograph on the white house balcony. but the words -- lincoln was so enamored with the speech himself he gets a letter from the new york editor afterwards that says it was a wonderful speech but he was referring to a different speech. lincoln is so excited to get the message that he says i hope it will wear as well as anything i've ever written, but men do not like to be told that they are in opposition to god's will. he was so immersed in this that for weeks he only thought about the impact of his speech. a month later lincoln gave his final speech. he didn't know it would be his final speech, from the window of the white house. asking the country to consider black suffrage for the first time. albeit

mr. lincoln, it was a sacred effort. and lincoln's final words to this man with whom he collaborated on this plan of further elaboration upon emancipation was, i'm glad you liked it. it was as douglas remembered it, the last time i saw him speak to him. the address became iconic as you see. lincoln poses two days later free photograph on the white house balcony. but lincoln was so an arbored by the speech itself that he gets a letter from a new york editor afterwards and he says that was a great speech. but he's referring to another speech. lincoln was so senate to get the message that he says, i hope it will wear as anything i have ever written but men don't like to be told that they are in opposition to gods well. he was so immersed in this, the for weeks, he only thought about the impact of his speech. a month later lincoln give his final speech. he didn't would be his final speech from the window of the white house. asking the country to consider black suffrage for the first time. i'll be, it only a first for the educ

lincoln. and the capelet is inscribed inside to mrs. a. lincoln, 1861, the first year of the lincoln presidency. this relationship developed very quickly. mary lincoln would go to kekle's shop and order 10, 15, you know, dresses at a time. it would take kekle a few months to make those and mary lincoln being one of these very intelligent and ambitious women who, you know, would have been a politician on her own, probably, had she lived in another era, you know, channeled a lot of her energy into clothing, and to getting photographs taken of her in the different clothes that she would have kekle make for her and these are two of those, two of those images. we do not have a painted portrait of mary lincoln. we only have her represented in photographs. no known painted portrait identifiably, verifiable painted portrait of mary lincoln exists. this is also one of the reasons why portrait gallery is so focused on commissioning portraits. of first ladies, to ensure that these kinds of, you know, emissions of high portraiture do not happen in the

mr. lincoln, it was a sacred effort, and his final words was "i'm glad you liked it."it was, as douglas remembered it, the last time i saw him to speak to him. the grease became iconic. lincoln posed two days later for a photograph. . but the words, lincoln was so enamored that he got a letter that said that was a wonderful speech, but he was referring to a different speech. lincoln is so excited, he says i hope it will ware as well as anything i have ever written, but men don't like to be told that they're in opposition to god's will. he was soimmersed that for weeks he only thought about his speech. he gave a final speech asking people to consider black suffrage for the last time. this is the moment the is the first time that an american president ever asked for african-american suffrage. the same john wilkes booth was in the capitol, in the white house in the audience that day. he turned to his friend and he said "this means negro equality" and he didn't use the word negro. that was the last speech he would make, and three days later for a reiteration, he said for a

mrs. lincoln, line, putting aside what you said doesn't make sense to have anyone in charge of domestic policy if their portfolio really doesn't have a lot of domestic policy in it. especially when the role is in the white house. >> it is. you are putting somebody in who had no history, no experience dealing with domestic policy, the things she is talking about doing, the direction she wants to take the mystic policy is concerning to a lot of veterans. a lot of americans across the country. jillian: susan rice held a press conference with jen psaki, listen to what she had to say. >> reporter: how serious a problem we face from national said white supremacists, the president has ordered the intelligence committee, to compile a comprehensive assessment of the nature of this threat, taking it seriously. jillian: let's talk about the problems, the security problems the country faces. joe biden's mission is to undo everything donald trump is an including possibly getting back into the iran nuclear deal. what do we see in terms of national security in the early days of the biden white house? >> she

mr. lincoln said. everyone that articulates the 25th amendment knows full well that it cannot happen as a practical matter. so it's political rhetoric that is just adding further heat. no illumination. this is very unfortunate. perhaps reading martin luther king jr.'s letter from a jail will be helpful. it's going nowhere, should go nowhere. i would say shame on those invoking both of them. let's get through the next 12 1/2, 13 days. >> why is joe biden coming out attacking the president at this moment? i did not hear a nod at least from what we covered to the certification of his presidency in the middle of the night, ken. >> yes, i was surprised to be honest and disappointed. those of us that try to study history and the history hoff this country and sweet land of liberty knows there's times for leaders to rise up and to appeal to those higher angels of our being. vice president biden didn't do that. in fact, to the contrary. he was adding fuel to the fire including stoking some old embers that long

lincoln. it is inscribed to mrs. a lincoln. go to herit would shop and order 10, 15 dresses at a time. it would take her a few months to make this. mary lincoln being one of those very intelligent and ambitious women who would have been a politician on her own had she lived in another era channels a lot of her energy into clothing of to getting photographed her and those close she would make for her and these are two of those images. we do not have a painted portrait of mary lincoln. we only have it represented in photograph. verifiableportrait exists, so this is also one of the reasons why the portrait gallery is so focused on committed portraits of first ladies to ensure these kinds of omissions of high portraiture do not happen in the future, because it is so important to these women'sf lives, and how they wanted to be portrayed. the end of the 19th century first ladies, a beautiful white portrait over is francise side painting which is part of the portrait gallery's partneron, independent to the portrait that we have on view an american president's calories and it is a portrait loa

mr. lincoln allowed her to sketch him.rought it to the rotunda, and members of the senate came out to decide whether a woman could do a great work of art. someone said it, it was not a very handsome likeness. someone else said it, he was not a very handsome man. james garfield perhaps does not live up to the stature of lincoln or washington, but there is some connection. garfield was a martyr president the way lincoln was. the only president of the u.s. from march until september, a very short period, did not accomplish much, but his death shocked the nation, just as lincoln's did. >> when i walk into the rotunda and see the bust of martin luther king, junior standing there among the busts of some of our founding fathers and other political leaders who played unbelievable roles in helping to shape this country, i believe martin luther king, junior is the only african-american person in the u.s. capitol. and when i bring young people, especially young children, to the rotunda, i point out the fact that martin luther king, j

mrs. lincoln purchased, but she wanted the interiors, the carpeting, the walls, to reflect more of what them looked like in lincoln's time. so again here you can see it i think this is later during nixon. here's clinton. and then bush. one of the things we had to do was do the research in the background on this bed canopy. so you can actually see from the images that it disappears because at some point it was lost. we just don't know what happened to it. here it is in the late 18 nineties -- 1890s. when we essentially had to do was use photographs and do research to recreate a reproduction as somewhat as possible. but there is the lincoln bedroom. the lincoln bed and the accompanying furniture. so just a quick recap. the white house was not painted white to cover the burn marks, it was because whitewash had been used before hand and become the accustomed color. that is why people often referred to it as the white house. andrew jackson likely never planted the famous magnolia tree. only later did in underground white house emerge beneath the building. markey to lafayette never put a alligato

well, says lincoln, if somehow mr.is could slip out of the country unbeknownst to me, then much of our problem would go away. the institution of the presidency changed dramatically at the end of the 19th century, the beginning of the 20th through the 19th century, the president and the presidency were not at the certain of american political life. they were not expected to be. by the constitution, congress was supposed to be the leading institution, the president was simply the chief executive. he would execute the will of congress. and most presidents of the 19th century followed that model. there were only a couple of 19th century presidents that people remember, andrew jackson, abe lincoln, maybe thomas jefferson. james polk has his fan club. for the most part, presidents of the 19th century are unmemorable by design. things change in the 20th century when and because the united states for the first time has a full-time foreign policy. i've written about 19th century presidents and when i write about a presidency, i
