governor morehead was the governor of north carolina from 1841 to 1845. he was popular governor through his ideas of reform and industry and human rights. his political career really began early through his education in law. after he graduated from the caldwell academy here in greensboro he went on to the university of north carolina in chapel hill. he graduated from there as a lawyer. quickly found more business here in greensboro. he found his wife here. quickly found a place in government. when he was here as an elected official he worked closely with a large quaker community. he took on issues of internal improvement in the state. he took up issues with slavery, which is unusual for a politician in the south working with the quakers. he took, adopted other important issues to the quakers such as education. that really began to form his political platform. governor morehead was one of the first candidates tahat ran a statewide candidacy. he was a great orator and personal personable. he won by a good margin and started his term in 1841. governor morehe

in fact, when governor governor of north carolina sought to broker a surrender the state of north carolina, governor morehead was called upon to be sort of the broker of that peace. morehead discussed how to sur surrender the state to both sides and able to bridge the generals from the union side and governor vance from the confederate side and sur rerndrendered the state in this room. by the time the surrender came along he was not in the best of health. he lived in a world that included slavery. it included a situation where women were not allowed to own property, were not allowed to vote. the state was in situation where people could grow wonderful crops and make wonderful things but they didn't have a market. i think he was frustrated these things were true. i think he began to establish a system that would change that. i think he was taking a first step. i think he would be incredibly pleased to see first steps he began to take back in the 1840s and '50s, in transportation, education, individual freedoms and social issues and even design that we took that and have continues that momen

then third, once the federal's crossing the north carolina, the department in north carolina troops under braxton braggs and finally, the one force that has been opposing sherman's advance, the calvary under general hampton. now hampton arrives from the army of northern virginia. he arrives in south carolina, his home state. just in time to see his family home millwood burned to the ground along with a lot of other buildings in columbia south carolina. no pun intended hampton is burning for revenge. the opportunity is presented to him a few days after the two armies crossing the north carolina. hampton and kilpatrick has been squirmishing almost constantly during their progress and kilpatrick has managed to steal a march around hampton's force, and he's gotten between the confederate calgary and the infantry under hardy. so kilpatrick sets up a series of roadblocks to prevent hampton from reaching the town of fayetteville and joining forces with hardy. but what he does is he presents hampton with an ideal opportunity to concentrate on an isolated part of the calvary at monroe's cross road

third, once the federal's cross into north carolina, the department in north carolina troops under braxton bragg. and finally, the one force that had been opposing sherman's advance, the cavalry under general hampton. hampton arrives from the army of northern virginia. he arrives in south carolina his home state just-in-time to see his family home, millwood, burned to the ground, along with a lot of other buildings in columbia, south carolina. no pun intended, hampton is burning for revenge. the opportunity is presented to him a few days after the two armies cross into north carolina. hampton and kilpatrick have been skirmishing almost constantly during their progress. kilpatrick managed to steal a march around hampton's force, and he's gotten between the confederate cavalry and infantry under hardy. kilpatrick sets up a series of roadblocks to prevent hampton from reaching the town of fayetteville and joining forces with party. -- hardy. he presents hampton with an ideal opportunity to concentrate on an isolated part of the cavalry at munro's crossroads. it just so happens that kilpatrick

they learn about lee surrender when in greensboro, north carolina. they will keep moving southwest. basically following interstate 85. if you know that route down from charlotte, down into upper south carolina. along the way various members of the confederate cabinet break off. we have just total breakdown. the cavalry escort a lot of that gets dismissed when they get into georgia and south carolina. davis will finally end up just being by himself in a very small escort rejoins his family in georgia georgia. he's captured on may 10th. that's what's going on that's sort of the background amid these other events. i know you heard yesterday if you were here about the surrender in north carolina. that's going to be the next one that happens. just to cover that very briefly the confederate army in north carolina is the army of tennessee which fought most of its career in the west. the large mantles of shiloh stones river and so on. the army of tennessee is transferred to north carolina to defend the state from general cher sherman's invasion. they fight some small battles, well not small.

anybody who is in north carolina would have seen that. anyone paying close attention to the race would have seen that. i do not agree with his education policies. i do not think we should treat schools and teachers as corporations and rewarding schools based on tenderized -- standardized test scores. i think that is irresponsible. i do not agree with his protrusion -- position on privacy and surveillance. that does not necessarily think that i don't like the president. i've to responsibilities as a candidate. one -- i have be on cement -- honest. to have to find voters on the ground. listen in a very republican district i have to say here are some things i can agree on. you may not agree with the president and i do it through the president on areas, but these are places where we can find common ground. the idea that anybody would go into congress and fall in lockstep with someone simply because they are in the party is, in my opinion, one of the reasons we have an ineffective congress. i'm a democrat and proud to be democrat, but i'm not

they wanted a court-martial and i was dispatched to north carolina in a special train. i never got off the train because i didn't want anyone to know i was there and to cast aspersions on general sherman. i had sherman come to me and i told him this is not going to work. you are going to have to write another surrender, a stiffer one. he did not like it, but that is sherman. he went back and offered general johnson and other surrender option which he had no choice to accept. host: generally, now that your role in the war is over, how much do you know of the subsequent surrenders in north carolina and texas? guest: not very much. i was trying to follow the information but i was in seclusion in richmond with my family. what information i did receive was various letters and they were telling me what has happened. in virginia, and particular, the lines of communication were destroyed. information about general johnson was slow in reaching man and by the time it got to me general grant had already taken care of that. i was not even aware of that. host: step out of character

congratulations on that, north carolina.ne of the reasons that high end medical students choose unc for their training if they can get in is because if you want to be an obstetrician or gynecologist, their programs are considered best in the south, one of the best in the country. as part of their training, they offer a highly regarded fellowship in family planning. and you can see where this is going, right? here is north carolina with a world class medical school. but that same state, north carolina, got a super active anti-abortion governor. he has broken that pledge, and now more is on the way. republicans in legislature passed regulations designed to close north carolina clinics and now they're working on legislation to limit the types of doctors allowed today do abortions in the state to triple the number of days that women have to wait before the state would allow them to have an abortion, and they want no more training on how to do abortions at that world class medical school. no training on how to do it, no procedure

let's hear from john in fairview, north carolina.hat do you think about the candidacy of marco rubio? caller: i think that he scares democrats and republicans alike to death. the best evidence i can offer for that, almost to a single person, every single democrat has called -- that has called in to the show today has said exactly the same thing. they all said, he is too young he is too inexperienced. a lot of independents have said that. i think both democrats and republicans are scared because in florida he not off well a step -- he knocked off well-established candidates. he did support an immigration bill that a lot of establishment republicans also supported. he turned around and said he was wrong to do it. people liked that about him. i do not know who some of these pollster are that are experts on the cuban-american community but personally i think they are nuts. i think marco rubio is going to be -- if we were just to judge it by the cuban-american community, marco rubio would be president tomorrow. barack obama did not have t

congratulations on that north carolina. one of the reasons that high-end medical school students around the nation choose unc for they are training if they can get in, is because if you want to be an obstetrician or gynecologist their ob-gyn program is one of the best in the south. as part of their training they offer a highly regarded fellowship in family planning. and you can see where this is going, right? because here's north carolina with this incredible educational inheritance, what has been a world-class medical school which includes excellent ob-gyn training, great family planning fellowship but the same state, north carolina has recently acquired a super activist republican state government. republican governor pledged he would not sign new abortion legislation as governor. he has broken that pledge. now more son the way. republicans in the legislature have passed new regulations designed to close north carolina clinics. and now they are working on legislation to limit the types of doctors who are allowed to do abo

north carolina is about to criminalize women who are pregnant. women that have an opiate addiction, without providing treatment for pregnant women. >> there's no acknowledgment that there has to be something, funding for beds. it seems impossible. >> we are talking about 1,000 babies born in tennessee, that showed symptoms of neo-n.a.t.o. addiction syndrome. we are talking about a small number of beds maybe 126 got help. there's no additional money, there's a view that in the minds of the legislature, these women are committing a crime against their babies and they need to be punished. they do not view it as a medical issue, what the doctors tell you, addiction is a medical issue. >> that leaves the babies for those that say this will help the children it leaves them in the lump. >> it leaves them in the lurch in as if the mother is sentenced to prison. legislatures will say they should have thought of that beforehand. it is a simplistic view of addiction. it fails to understand that women do not plan pregnancies. when they get pregnant and use o

wayne community college is in goldsboro, north carolina in wayne county.tand one person was targeted. we believe that shooting went down in the library and authorities are still looking for the shooter. on the phone with me right now is daniel wiggins, assistant operations manager for wayne county. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> tell me in your own words, though what you believe is happening at wayne community college? >> okay. the information we are releasing at this time is that we do have report of a shooter on the campus. one person has been shot. we do have one victim. the suspect is still at large at this time. we have multiple law enforcement agencies on the scene working together to track him. the perimeter has been set up around the college so we make sure we keep him in that perimeter. >> did the shooting occur in the library, sir? >> that is the call that came in that we had that it did occur in the library. >> do you believe that person who was shot was targeted? >> well we're -- motives at this time. >> can you give us a description of

still planning to go to north carolina. even when he got to appomattox courthouse, had he been able to break through this union surrounding maneuver his next movement was not to lynchburg but campbell courthouse, present day rusk, virginia. at campbell courthouse, he would cut down and try to reach danville again. but that didn't happen. so anyways, after the attack on the night of april 8th after three night marches in a row, lee's army goes into bivaouc april 9th there is the battle of appomattox brought about because of the pincher's movement. when i used to work at appomattox people would say i guess general lee got here to this pretty village and decided to surrender. that is not the case. because of the the battle of appomattox on april 9th, lee was forced to surrender because he was unable to break through the union cordon. anyways, general lee and general grant would meet at lee's home and surrender. 3:30 afternoon of april 9th the surrender this taken place. i'd like to close with in my years at appomattox courthou

and then starts heading up through the carolinas -- now, all of a sudden, all of these men from north carolina, south carolina and georgia, are getting letters from home talking about how bad it is, how they have nothing to live on, how they have no food or anything, so it is very hard for young men in these trenches around petersburg that are enduring these horrid conditions to steadfast there, rather than go back and take care of their families, and i do not know that anyone would blame any of them for doing so, except for their duty was to the army. it is compounded by the union army actually using propaganda to promote men to desert from the confederate army. they would put leaflets into the confederate lines and throw paper across, and have these pickets exchanged, like we were just talk about, where they would offer you money to desert from the confederate army and come into the union lines with your weapons. they would pay you to bring your weapon in, and then they would provide you transportation anywhere you wanted to go after you signed an oath of allegiance. you had those two forces

that was a certain definition at that point in north carolina law. they could not prove because shots were fired by the demonstrators that the klans men were not acting in self-defense. that is what the jury had to rule on. it was a lot of examination of the footage to determine who fired shots when. the fbi studied that for over a year which is one of the things that postponed the trial. they determined that 39 shots were fired. 18 were fired by the cwp or their supporters. when that case self-defense did work. they were acquitted. they also were acquitted by an all white jury, which again, caused a lot of division within the city. in 1982, '83 there was a second trial. it was a federal trial and the charges then against the klans men were they violated the civil rights of these people. a jury found them not guilty a violation of civil rights. in 1985 there was a third trial. this time the plaintiffs were the survivors of the cwp. they brought trial against the city of greensboro specifically two policeman and klan and nazi members. the city was imp

why wilmington north carolina you say? well wilmington has not been successful in taking wilmington. and so with that, wilmington is now the window to the world. and all manner of goods and materials brought from around the world can be brought into wilmington, placed on a rail car and then taken up to petersburg. now union army, of course, hampered that somewhat and the summer of 1864 when they cut the weldon railroad and the two battles that take place there the assaults on the weldon railroad on august 18th 19th and 21st and then further to cut the railroad to the battle of ream station on august 25th. but the confederate still maintain the tror a point into virginia where they would then transfer those goods off of the rail cards on to wagons. and using that system of plafrpg roads, would take the goods and materials into petersburg that way. but with the union attack on wilmington in december of 1846, it starts to spell doom for one of them. it won't be until the 15th of january that wilmington and f ft. fisher will a

i wanted you to clarify. >> sure. >> andrew johnson of course was from north carolina. he was known to be from north carolina when he was in the senate prior to lincoln's election, and lincoln had a different vice president his first term i believe it was a man named hamlin. >> correct yeah. >> how it was that hamlin got dumped in the summer of '64 and the republican party picked a southerner to be vice president who was one heartbeat away from managing the world? >> very interesting. andy johnson fascinating and complicated character, johnson is a southern senator from tennessee when the war starts. he is a jacksonian democrat representing the yoeman of the south and he talked very tough against the planter elite whom he seemed to resent a great deal. johnson is the only southern senator to stick with the union in this moment in 1861. and he's rewarded by lincoln and the union administrate for he's made military governor once the union is occupied of the state. and as military governor, m.g. johnson rules with a heavy hand. he really does the bidding of the republican

there was still joseph johnston in north carolina, richard taylor, kirby smith in texas. his soldiers would be passing through these areas where armies could still be fighting. they don't want these soldiers to be picked up and sent off to prison camp. they don't want to be pressed back into the confederate army because they have given there were not to serve anymore until exchanged. in extreme, these soldiers traveling home passing through confederate lines could be considered deserters and executed. general grant thinks it is a good idea to have something for these confederate soldiers to go home. that is how the idea of the parole pass comes about. john gibbon has a portable printing press with him. a call goes out for men who have been printers previous to joining the army to come work the presses around the clock until they struck up 20,002 hundred 31 parole passes for confederate soldiers. that is how we know how many confederate soldiers surrendered here at appomattox. general george sharp was put in charge of the process. the men printing the passes worked on prin
