so i booked a ticket that came new orleans. i had a few of introduction to some ladies in, new orleans, but i also had a little notebook that i had kept. i had the name of some people that i knew and i thought, hmm, i'm going to call them. so one of them was the box whom i had known during the war, actually after the war, when he can address camp. and i knew that he was buried in that little channel, that i'd be a great time to them. so we agreed to meet, and it's so that at that particular time, in those days, there was a friendship that used to come to new orleans around christmastime. it was a school ship and it would be here for christmas and during the duration of the holidays. and it so happened that the comment the the ship captain of i had known also in france and so we're supposed to have a grand evening that evening with bob french and berg and that the captain of the vessel and myself. and then he called and said at the last minute you couldn't come. you couldn't leave the ship because something had happened on the s

in new orleans, there was some became into an athletic game and had a news he and spread kids.pread the crowds. i believe police officers are there to direct shooters to not please the schools. when the schools have been, when officers have been improperly utilized by the principles, that is when you have problems. my opponent wants to fund the police. they -- the teachers union was active and not only in supporting defund the police groups and organizations, but to pressure the schools to remove officers from the schools. i believe officers need to be at the entrance of the schools or a police car at the beginning or at the end of school day. there was not a police scott -- car at whereas, when the school was dismissed and 2 people were killed. i support having officers at the entrance of the building for shooters. sasha: nearly all school shootings we have seen, the perpetrator is using an assault rifle. explain how a resource officer stands up against in ar-15. paul: i think 2 officers are trained. all our officers face the prospect of an the street with somebody having an a

those are all the things that happened to the new orleans area where i lived. took over the city, it was bankrupt, every building had been underwater. we had to reconstruct it and do it with the federal government. learning from those experiences, i brought that up. i applied for the president, in partnership with sean donovan, that the way it worked to build a team of people that forced the federal government, the state government and local government to have vertical and horizontal integration. the way that scopes out is that all the cabinet secretary have to eat on a continual asis. i have hosted 16 cabinet meetings on the task force. we are working and talking with each other so that when you see the federal government, it's a one-stop shop view. that's a partnership between the department of energy and department of transportation. when you're talking about high-speed internet, thus the fcc, agriculture, apartment of commerce. they have to be communicating. my help desk my job is to help do that. that's a monumental task. what you have to do is make sure t

and this is the the nature of opposition to the confederacy as it appears in places like new orleans or more subsistence farmers in alabama. they they see the civil war as one initiated by the slave owning class. the slaves, the slave power for their own aggrandizement. they don't see that they have as much to gain from it. and so they oppose it along those on those terms. yeah. so that theme of precedence is fascinating in both periods. the in all the fires and then the secessionists are promising, you know, dramatic gains and easy victories. and the union is tend to be people saying warning that that the surest way to disrupt the southern social order is to invite the federal army into the south. so let's let's pivot to how unionists were were treated and and regard and by now the fires. in your case, bryan, and by by secessionists and confederates and in clayton's case, one of the things many sort of points of convergence of the two books is that you both know that among the other sort of labels affixed to those white southerners who remain loyal to the union is the label of torie
