is quite a bit higher than north carolina. so are you concerned about the impact of south carolina's inaction in all of this? governor cooper: well, we're concerned not only with north carolina but surrounding states, because we know that people travel pretty freely with state lines. i would encourage every governor in the country to put in interventions that will help slow the spread of this virus. i think it would be important too, for us to have a stronger national strategy on this, because this clearly is affecting every part of our country. it's going to affect every part of north carolina. what i know is that interventions are working to slow the spread and we'll keep monitoring this. we'll keep encouraging people, because these interventions are only as good as the people who will do it, and that's why i'm going to continue to encourage people every single day to stay at home as much as possible. when you have to be out, make sure that you're exercising social distancing. i've talked to governor mcmaster on a couple of o

one of the best ways we can help rural north carolina medicaid is to expand we have over one million people without health insurance, and expanding medicaid will help 5000 north carolinians get health insurance for it i am not sure you can find a time when people have needed health insurance more than they need it right now. a lot of things we can do to help rural north carolina, to help jumpstart our economy, to educate our children, and to get people healthier, and i think it is going to be up to federal and state government to help jumpstart this economy, and we are looking forward to using these restrictions when all of testingds, tracing, and gets into place, and starting to do some of the things that i just talked about. thank you for the question. next question, please. the next question is from jonathan alexander with the "news and observer." jonathan: hey. i have a three-part question. been a lot of inconsistencies with how counties are reporting nursing home information. why isn't the state or dhhs releasing the names of nursing debts,n counts and instead of leading into eac

i want to remind folks in north carolina that we are very lucky that north carolina has a long-standing infrastructure to do this kind of work through our 85 local health departments. we have more than 250 folks already trained to do this work, and have been doing it since the start of this pandemic and well before. they continue to do this work. mobilize effort was to folks within our public health team that may have been working on other kinds of disease outbreaks. mobilizing them all for this effort. and yes, we want to rent up our workforce -- ramp up our workforce as well. we will be establishing one partner, so we are looking to establish that with one partner, who can then start the process training, recruiting, and deploying folks as we go. thank you. thing iner: one other my conversation with the vice president yesterday, he mentioned about federal contact tracing teams through the cdc. i know the cdc is also working with us. and so we hope to get some additional federal help with contact tracing. next question, please. >> liz, north carolina public radio. reporter: hi, thank y

i knew i needed to set up camp and check with unc and duke at north carolina state and north carolina university in greenville but it would be very helpful and i would recommend this to any young historian who is thinking about getting a book project to find a local source who is a bit of a history buff. this gentleman had been involved in the tobacco economy. he had worked for a state-level tobacco lobby and he had produced a self-published book. people who produce self-published books are usually very happy to talk to you about their research. i'm a graduate student and i would love to talk to you about your work in tobacco and could he meet with me and he gave me a lot of information i otherwise wouldn't have known and would have known where to look had it not been for him. >> host: the interest was in agriculture and tobacco. where did it start? i can't trace it back to your undergraduate days but where did the idea come from? >> guest: this did not come from smoking, i can say that. but who in fact in the beginning of the book it's really about tobacco before you get in to the ci

washington wrote to the governor of north carolina supporting they bring rogers down there? that he shouldn't given? >> yes. >> i would ask you why but that's a separate issue. second question, black population of baltimore was quite small in this era. i learned the other day philadelphia was the largest -- how did black communities and other parts of the country use the activity that's happening here in boston to consider leadership? did they consider it to radical or how was the perceived? >> one of the things trotter i argued book was one of his gifts was his ability to go into places, rally up many members of this elite group of black men who graduated from harvard or brown or colleges in new england. he knew them all. during his time at harvard he was known as the leader of this cohort that surrounded wep to boys and many of those graduates harvard or amherst or dartmouth, they might be the only black person on the campus but they would come into boston and hang out with trotter. one of the things that made trotter feel betrayed was that many members of that class once

>> education is valued in north carolina. i'm so proud of the teachers, the teacher assistants, the bus drivers, cafeteria workers who have continued serving meals to children who are physically out of school but are doing a lot of remote learning. i announced today we said there were going to be no more in-person classes but the learning doesn't stop. and what we have to do is to adapt to the new normal. we have to understand that we've got to get high speed internet access to people in rural areas, and we're working with at&t and duke energy to use school buses with hotspots. and we're also working to make sure that we can go back in for the next school year, getting our schools ready, figuring out how we're going to deal with teachers who are in the at-risk population, how we're going to keep our students socially distanced, how are we going to make the schoolwork in the new normal. and we're working now to try to get ready for next year while we're still trying to make sure that kids learn as much as possible for the rema

trotter and his group wanted governor crane to prevent roger's return to north carolina for arson . one year earlier in 1901 two black boys ages 14 and 17 were brutally lynched in greensboro while sitting in jail on vagrancy charges. it was no wonder rogers fled his home outside charlotte for his mother's house in massachusetts after confronting his landlord over unpaid wages read a white man's barn burned down days after the confrontation and there was no guarantee the 22-year-old black man would receive a fair gender hearing. rogers fled to boston where he sought refuge and was arrested there one year after his arrival after north carolina's state commissioner alerted massachusetts of rogers whereabouts. trotter mobilized grassroots protests that prompted the meeting with governor crane. the group argued that failure by north carolina to enforce the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment as evidenced in the states unwillingness to investigate or prosecute the recent lynching of a teenage boy prevented rogersfrom receiving a fair trial . trotter used the guardian's public re

here in north carolina we've only tested about 40,000 people out of 10.5 million. 2600 cases, we're talking about, you know, one-fiftieth of 1% of the population has coronavirus, but we know that's not the full story, that there's a lot of people that are carrying this virus around that can infect people and cause a lot of trouble. just like you, eric, i know a number of friends who have had this virus, some have been in the hospital, even one in particular who's died from this. so it does hit home here as well. we're only at 34 deaths right now, and hopefully in -- if everybody does their job, we can get through this, and america will be stronger on the other end, we'll all be better off for it. eric: i lieutenant governor, i'm sorry, and i speak for all of us who are watching, for your friend. we will know people who will have this, we will know people potentially who have died. thank you for your thoughts, your strength, is and thank you to the people of north carolina and across this country. and you're right, we will get through this. hopefully, we'll be bette

of the north carolina line. if greene proved himself of a master of supply and transporter as we say today, logistics, why during his command in the south was his army chronically short of supplies to the point toward the end of the campaign? his somldiers were so ill-supplied of clothing many used blankets to cover their nakedness. the answer lies in the difference between the two great regions. the north had a much larger population, mostly rural and agriculture, but well-established manufacturers and artisans. there greene had been close to his sources of supply as well as the indispensable french supplies. the southern armies, most of them, had to come from the north. 18th century means and time, supplies on wagons drawn by horses had to walk. one example. greene sent a request to the board of war in philadelphia for april, 1781 for clothing for lieutenant colonel william washington third continental as theirs was in a state of, quote, decay. the clothing arrived five months later, 31 august at charlotte and

here in north carolina. you're waiting for -- take me back to the early interest. >> guest: that's so funny you mentioned that. windows beginning this project, -- when i was begin this project, i was trying to understand how tobacco farmers related to big tobacco. that was my original question. to do that i knew i would need to look in archives across north carolina and i selected north carolina as kind of this case study because north carolina was and is the leading producer of a particular kind of tobacco. that is a primary constituent in an american-style cigarette. and so i knew i would need to set up camp into research at unc, at duke, at north carolina state, at east carolina university in greenville and the coastal plain. but it would be very helpful and i would recommend this to any young historian who is thinking about beginning a book, a dissertation or book project, to find a local source that's a bit of a history buff this gentleman had been involved with the tobacco economy. he had worked for ba

to fast a little, in march 1781 at the battle of guilford courthouse in northern north carolina, greene lost the tactical battle but won a strategic victory when lord cornwallis recklessly abandoned the carolinas for the siren song of virginia. a little more on that later. greene and his army of continentals would fight three major battles and he lost all fo ur. but, as with, differed courthouse in each case, tactical defeat strategic victory. hobkirk's hill. let's see. it is right up here. just north of here. just north of that british base of camden. on 25 april 1781, he faced the anglo irishman lieutenant colonel francis lord -- whom cornwallis had left in command. he attacked and surprised the rebel army. greene denied surprise in an official report but what general is going to admit he was caught flat-footed? but the rebel army retired from the field in good order. greene's famous comment on his second defeat in battle is in a ltteetter. "we fight, rise and fight again." greene then marched his army southwesterly, across the river into rugged hill country, right across -- right in

we will open north carolina. mentioned the different phases, phase 1 expected to reopen made, reopening parks and allowing nonessential travel to retailers, phase them to which is expected to be a few weeks after phase i is where you are talking about the restaurants and gyms, personal care services. here's my question to you. i heard this last night on one of the programs on fox, someone had an idea, if you can allow restaurants to open for things like take out service why can't you opened more businesses in some of the states for things like take out service, for instance, you could open businesses that are not just restaurants, her salons and gyms, there are other businesses where you could take out certain products, hardware stores and things like that? >> a great example. there have been a lot of very arbitrary distinctions drawn in the order that exists, probably exceeds the governor's legal authority. bookstores have been closed but libraries are open. a lot of folks out there, seemingly arbitrary distinct

the people were not moved but still in north carolina. so what you're seeing is even though people are removed, they're still there. how was it that this happens. it reminds us that arrows from the little green boxes are missing part of the history of people who maintain a spiritual and physical connection with the land who found ways to maintain their connection with these places in the south from which they were displace bed by slave and white mobility. so what do we make of this? this is a strange turn in southern history. people are eager to a connection to people they drove from their homes. on one hand this is arguably a heartening change from most of american history. on the other hand, the claim of widespread self identification is a major political problem for native people themselves who establish citizenship standards within their own nations. while some claimants may express sincere beliefs, others may seek to leverage that identity for material social gain. so you can see the ironies of all of this. this is my main point. the

in north carolina, 80% of all the jobs in north carolina are small businesses. we have to make sure that we are getting this money into these small businesses, so they can make payroll and pay their monthly bills. >> dana: and one last question for you, i know that you are very interested in agricultural issues, is there any relief coming for the farmers out there who need some help in getting their crops picked? >> well, you saw secretary purdue last week this is really helping replenish the food supply and purchasing certain agricultural products, but we have a lot more work today, pork industry, in my state, and i want another big pork states are hurting. we have to continue to come back. this is going to be evolutionary by a number of very legitimate request for support that we have to fulfill. >> dana: all right, senator tom tillis, thank you so much for joining us today from north carolina. and as we mentioned, grime protests now over stay-at-home orders with the president seeming to encourage these demonstrations. is he sending a mixed message? we will ta

the fifth north carolina wheels behind them. jubal early is wounded in the shoulder, the eye of his horse shot out, and he has brought off the field. one soldier tells skirmishers, "take aim at that bastard flag." referring to the pink flag of the fifth carolina. a wisconsin soldier described the confederate charge, officers bravely leading them forward as our fire was thinning and mowing them down like grass. they pressed on like in a drill parade. canister opened at 75 yards. someone heard hancock say, gentlemen, charge, and thus ended the battle at williamsburg. hancock will comment, "for 600 yards in front of our line the entire field was strewn with enemy's dead." the fifth north carolina loses its pink set of colors and 450 men in 20 minutes. the flag of the fifth north carolina will be captured by the fifth wisconsin, not george custer. a comrade of mine recently found the flag and returned it to north carolina. robert langston, company b, 18, likely still buried on the field today. and of course, you see this beautiful p

in north carolina we have lab corp headquarterd here. and they stepped up and created and a test and running a lot of tests but you have to have the people with the personal protective equipment to go out and take the sample, collect the sample from the person. and if we're going to open up in a new normal, which i want to do, if there is one outbreak in a nursing home, i want to go in there and make sure we test everybody, but we need personal protective equipment and supplies in order to be able to do that. and we don't have enough personal protective equipment to do that. we need to supply that to be able to do the kind of testing we need to do. >> you're identifying sort of a mismatch between sort of capacity and need that i've heard from a bunch of people which is that labs have capacity right now. the bottleneck on testing is not lab capacity. the bottleneck is the equipment, the swabs, the ppe for people and labor. it's actually -- there is a lot of people out of work. would you agree that's what the big bottleneck is to get to th

one of the north carolina unions -- north carolinians said lincoln spoke to us freely and kindly. in august 1864, lincoln called frederick goes to the white house. -- frederick douglass to the white house. lincoln was convinced he was going to lose his reelection and wanted to free as many slaves as he could. he said, i want to see it abolished altogether. the two men then sat down to come up with a plan, how can i free as many slaves as possible? the plan they came up with was to create a band of scouts and going to the south and try to get as many slaves freed as possible. doug is later explained, what he said on this day showed a deeper moral conviction against slavery than anything i had seen, either spoken or written, from him. i listened with profound satisfaction. lincoln's meeting with douglass is significant. historian martin neely junior says it shows lincoln'is genuine humanitarianism. freeing the slaves at this point of the war had nothing to do with military necessity. it had everything to do with what was morally right. the meetings i described our sample of more tha

galloway had been born into slavery in 1837 and north carolina. he escaped on a turpentine ship up to philadelphia and when he got to philadelphia, blood was coming out of his pores because of the turpentine. early in the civil war, galloway worked as a union spy and was at the center of union recruiting of black soldiers in north carolina. in april 1864, galloway and five other black men come to washington to personally deliver a petition to abraham lincoln. four of the six men had been born into slavery. the men were amazed when they got to the white house that they were escorted through the front door of the building because they said if we were back in north carolina, we would not be let into the back door of the lowest civil magistrate. yet in washington, d.c., they were escorted into lincoln's office through the front door the white house and lincoln should each of their hands. lincoln said to the visitors that he had labored hard through many difficulties for the good of the colored race and he should continue to do so. he then gave them th
