they fought a battle against the army of northern virginia and their advancing. it was a hard battle casualties were high. i was i'm very unpleasant experience, but we won this battle. we're advancing now. how do you decide who wins the battle soldiers by the way, they're cheering here. i don't know if you can see they're waving their hats and cheering there was quite a cheer a grant was eager to get them to be quiet because we don't want lee to know where we're moving any place. how do you know who won a battle is it is the side that one the side that suffers fewer casualties you know, we haven't gotten to world war two yet, but if the side that takes the fewest casualties is the winner. then irwin rommel won d-day. right and the united states lost and currently bradley was thrown back into the sea and we'd all be speaking german today. well known not exactly but no that it's not how you figure out who wanted that it's who gets more of what he wants of the situation that he wants afterwards and the person who gets what he wants after the battle is grant. he's co

this time they fought a battle against the army of northern virginia and they were advancing. how do you decide who wins a battle? the soldiers, by the way, are cheering here. they're waving their hats and cheering. there was quite a cheer. grant was eager to get them to be quiet, because they don't want him to know we're moving any place. how do you know who won a battle? is the side that one suffers fewer casualties? we haven't gotten to world war ii yet. but if the side that takes the fewest casualties is the winner, then irwin ramal won d-day and the united states lost and bradley was thrown back into the sea and we would all be speaking german today. no. that's not how you figure out who won a battle. it's who gets more of what he wants of the situation that he wants afterwards. and the person who gets what he wants at the battle is grant. do you want to use a sporting analogy, it's a running back that hits a linebacker and bounces off and is tearing down the field and that's exactly what happened. so grant has hit lee here and he moves down here. again, if grant can get

general who commanded the confederate army in northern virginia. >> host: allen guelzo let's begin with your latest book, robert e lee a life, who was he before the civil war, what was his reputation? >> guest: he was best known for two things, son of a famous revolutionary war hero and that was the famed cavalry commander light horse harry lee, the one who served under washington and in fact, coined washington, first in war, first in peace, that was light horse harry. the other thing that people would have known robert e lee for would have been his service in the mexican war and especially on the staff of general scott during scott's fabulous invasion. moving in land to mexico city in 1847. lee served in many respects as scott's eyes and ears performing over and over again feats for scott so much so that scott made the confession that for all the honors he had won in that great campaign to mexico city almost all the credit really belonged to robert e lee, so lee's two thing would have been robert e lee would have been noted before the civil war which taken together don't really do a wh

and in that order the army of northern virginia is told he fought a noble and honorable war. but greater union numbers have overcome that nobility and prepared us to surrender. we've managed to do with honor with conducted ourselves with honor so now we can all go home and believe what we did was honorable. that becomes the root of this thing called the lost cause. the lost cause will sprout from their to acquire a number of facets. one principal tenant of the lost cause is at the southern confederacy of the secession of the southern states is not about slavery. that really what drove the confederates to succeed from the union was a concern about states rights or a concern about tariffs or concern about the northern economy and potential dictation bite northern capitalism so forth and so on things like that anything but slavery. we find in the writings of former confederates here is his memoir destruction and reconstruction. slavery had nothing to do with the confederacy with a simply a story cooked up by the abolitionists. that becomes the first tenant of the lost cause. ano

this is one of the great things about teaching at a community college, especially here in northern virginia, the diversity and the different cultures -- i have students this semester from all over the globe like ukraine and honduras and ethiopia. i think i learned more from them than they probably learn from me , because they write about their lives and stories. they just add so much more richness to the classroom. but when i started teaching at the community college, i realized a lot of my students, especially women returning back to school, did not have a lot of the support i had. i thought, we have to have a women's mentoring group on campus. i found that many of the women who came back may be did not have some of the skills in technology. so many of them had anxiety. they were trying to juggle it all. when i mentored these students, i felt like i was making a difference. i don't know whether you know this, but some of these -- i especially taught this one woman who left her husband, she was abused, she was living in her car with her children. she got into a shelter and they saw how smar

that are credit unions, scalp groups like ones i attended when i grew up not far from here in northern virginia. ukrainian schools, every saturday that i endured. so, a long time. a big chunk of american history. there is a large wave of immigrants like my parents who came after world war ii, displaced persons, just like the people we are seeing now going to poland and figuring out what to do next. after world war ii there was a big wave. then in the early 90's after the soviet union dissolved people came here. more recently in the past five or 10 years there have been a wave of tech workers coming in. so, a couple million people who self-identify as you raining americans. i'm excited to see if they: today or if i went to camp with any of them. this global network of ukrainians as part of the strength and support network right now that is activated to support people in ukraine right now. host: as we wait for calls, tell us about your parents' story. guest: my parents came to america. i had the good fortune of growing up in a three-generation household. my mom's parents lived with us. my grandmo

she slows it down and she traces the stories of these individual soldiers of the army of northern virginia who are having to make decisions about where to go how to get home. do i try to keep fighting do i surrender? do i get a parole? do i go somewhere other than home and the beauty of the book is we all know the end of the story, but when you read her book you forget for that little bit of time that you're reading it you forget that you know, the end of the story and you want to know what happens to these guys, and she doesn't only trace the stories of these men who serve in the army of northern virginia. she traces this stories of the people. they encounter white civilians african americans african americans who are on the confederate home front others who? and body servants for white confederate soldiers and so you see all of these different stories unfolding together and it paints a really complex and and different picture of what happened at the close of the civil war then i think we'd had prior to this book. i there were a lot of wonderful books and it's being on a jury is a really

an interesting question because 4 months ago when i was in ambassador school, steve, back in northern virginia, i was being told by many of my colleagues that we're not going to be able to work with this center, right government, that this is going to be a difficult process of developing alignments. and what i have found actually is that this crisis has produced alignments on security and also on democracy and values and the economy that are important in terms of the american polish relationship. in other words, just like dialectical behavioral theory where several things can be true at once. we've been very clear with the polls that we stand foursquare with you on your security. and so steve, we have now $10500.00 us troops in poland, all on polish basis. we have patriot missiles staged to protect poland. and our president has been clear that we will protect every square inch of polish territory because it's a member of nato, as it's a member of nato. um, so we stand foursquare with the poles on security. but we also need to see absolute commitment to democracy, to values, and to their credit
