. >>> this is the archival clecks for the nebraska state capitol. we house the architectural materials related to the design and construction of the present state capitol. one of the things that makes our building unique is the fact we have this amazing collection of materials that document the construction of the building. when the decision was made that nebraska needed a new state capitol, the legislator put noorgt a commission to over see the design and construction of the building. the chigz put together a competition to select an architect. the unique part about this competition is that it was a double blind competition. so the comp petteres didn't know who the judges were. and the judges didn't know who the competitors were. the advantage to this process was that the architects could design to the specifications that were put ipfront of them ined stead of designing to the known tastes of the judges. they were able to come up with some solutions they might not have come up with normally. his winning design was very dwlu neek. it had a power ins

nebraska. but the problem here is more than just the technicalities of the kansas/nebraska bill allowing slavery to be legalized if people want it in the western territories. after all, steven douglas' rationale for attaching the popular sovereignty doctrine to the organization of kansas and dme d nebraska really went something like this. look, if we argue about slave ary here in washington, d.c., it's going to paralyze congress, paralyze the executive and paralyze the judiciary. the federal government's got the people's business to do. it doesn't need to sit around all day arguing about slavery. get slavery out into the territories and let the people there decide for themselves and if they want to have slavery, all right, fine. if they don't want to have slavery, that's fine, too. but the goal is get the question out of washington. let the people out there settle it. what douglas is saying is he really doesn't care. whether slavery gets legalized or not legalized. so long as it's not having a

kansas and nebraska. sponsors the kansas nebraska act and repealed the missouri compromise which draws, he raises the line of slavery in the north and throws it all open.whoever settles that can decide if they are a free state or a slave state. it is right next to missouri which is a slave state. and they start appearing in. and pretty soon you have bleeding kansas. as a result of that, the issue of the extension of slavery in the country, lincoln posit the nationalization of slavery. he says pretty soon we will have it in illinois. and that we will have it across the country.so, he develops - he has his cause and now he has to develop his argument. >> a few minutes ago you referred to the newspapers. there are 70 newspapers at the time. harold halter wrote a wonderful book about newspapers and lincoln. and lincoln wrote a platform at a meeting of the antislavery editors. but, can you just talk about the role of the newspapers at that time? and lincoln? >> well, lincoln had a close relationship with the m

in the wake of the controversy other the compromise of 1850 and the kansas, nebraska controversy as well. all of these things led one after another it was quite a decade. >> some would say this this that this delayed inevitable rather than save the union. >> i think that we would say that if we're looking back as people who live in the 21st century. we don't know one of the things that historian os i believe have the obligation to do is to teach our students to take the past on its own terms. in other words, they didn't know what was going to happen in 1850. they didn't know what was going to happen in 1860s at the beginning of the war who would win. we already know so we put in -- in the the past what we think should have happened or was probability but we shouldn't do that. we should just try and understand the past on its own terms. one of the things you write in your book the american war the south had wielded disproportionate influence in national government from many decades. >> i think that's true if you look at the first presidents accepting the adams most of them in the late 18t

little giant, great character, strong-willed, maybe too clever by half for kansas nebraska. thatstarts a firestorm makes for the republican party's emergence. what does the can-do -- buchanan do? he makes it clear that douglas will not get any patronage. stephen douglas spent $3000 of his own money to elect james buchanan in 1856. -- $40,000 of his own money to let james buchanan in 1856. then he goes further when douglas breaks with him over kansas, he proscribes and then democrats inasite congress that he controls. you have two big figures that are at loggerheads. he does nothing to recognize the growing antagonism that many northern white working voters have towards what they call the slave power. this story has been told in every textbook. i don't need to rehearse it at length. the issue was not slavery or no slavery in the late 1850's. the issue was what is the issue of the west? felt you were going to have more inequality and poverty and trouble socially. southerners believed if you close up the west to them, slavery cannot prosper as it is prospering. it is prospering

then california than that moved to the dakotas and montana and nebraska. to new yorkd across in 1919 and the national amendment passes. you could call us a big turning point in the effort to gain suffrage for women and the united states. the big event that began the suffrage movement did happen in new york. conventione women's led by susan b anthony on among other leaders. interestingly enough right after that she began a world wind -- a to advocate for women's rights periods went of the early leaders in the 20th century and washington state saw her in 1848 as a eight-year-old. barnstorming through illinois and that is emma smith defoe who suffrage leader of the movement through tacoma. she saw susan b anthony and central illinois when she was eight years old. susan b anthony asked who in the audience believe women should have the right to vote, as a stood up. old she that was a memorable experience, it definitely has a connection 1910. state from 1848 read about the same time as the women's conference in seneca falls women and men were timeling west and a
