patrick henry, richard henry lee, george mason, were opposing the constitution. supporting it was james madison and john marshall. he gave influential speeches, including a defense of judicial independence. the importance of the judiciary within our institution. opposing views with someone like patrick henry, the firebrand, one of the most powerful figures in virginia, he even denied james madison a seat and ran james monroe against him in the house. but john marshall is someone who was really easy to get along with. so even despite political disagreements with patrick henry, he would maintain close relations with him. so we see this theme as we go through his career about his ability to hold strong constitutional views but also see the importance of finding common humanity with adversaries. and really forging -- let's move to his time where he is in the federal government. the beginning of his career as a national leader of the federalist party. we're up to john marshall in the early career of the federal government. he is asked to run for the u.s. house of repr

so unlike his contemporaries in people like patrick henry would think of virginia as his country. but john marshall thinks of the united states as his country. we get this amazing letter. and then we have different artifacts that talk to his time in the military. the one inocus on the bottom corner. these are revolutionary war uniform buttons that were pulled from valley forge. when we think about his experience in the revolution, he was there. he was there with george washington and alexander hamilton. they felt firsthand the sacrifice of war, of fighting for your country. spoke about the inadequacies of the government at the time. the government that relied too much on the states to volunteer supplies and fight in the war. so they would emerge from this ar feeling they needed stronger federal government, one that could undertake big tasks. this philosophical view would help in forming -- would help inform most of marshall's views for the rest of his career. here fast forwarding to when comes home from the war and is trying to build a career and a life for himself. we have this q

patrick henry, james madison a little bit later. so, what was this great awakening? it's a phrase that historians invented. but it is reflective of a reality. what was it? from the 1730s roughly to about 1770, i put that as one sort of book end because that's the year that whitfield dies. and one of the other great leaders had already predeceased him. it was a religious revival that flamed up and down the east coast. up and down the colonies. and burned its brightest in the 1740s and 1750s. it's called the great awakening because its impact was great. on a vast territory. in new england, in the middle colonies, in the deep south, and on myriad aspects of colonial life and segments of society. some modern media scholars have called it the first national media event. first national media event. because it's covered so widely all across the colonies. pardon me. it's great because it has great leaders. whitfield, whom we've already mentioned, on the left there. and a man on the right who you may recognize as well, jonathan edwards. george whitfield, who dies as i said in

one of the pivotal ratifying conventions staring down the , barrel of patrick henry and george mason. great figures in american history but folks who oppose the constitution at the ratifying convention. it is a young marshall making strong arguments for why we need a stronger government. at the urging of george washington we have john marshall , serving in congress and then being asked to be secretary of state for john adams. during the adams administration, he plays a key role in negotiations with france trying to dampen hostility. these negotiations failed but through this experience, he earns the respect of the american people. and then, he is called upon by john adams again to become the fourth chief justice of the united states. as we reflect back on his legacy, we can only thank chief justice john marshall for being an important patriot and statesman and one of the greatest early constitutional thinkers in american history. announcer: you can watch this or other american artifacts programs anytime by visiting our website. our cable partners worked with c-span's cities tour staff

will you know, obviously had never heard of patrick henry.you know give me freedom or give me death. well, my parents said give me freedom or give me death. there were never apologetic. they fought to the bitter end. and so, i grew up seeing all of that and it certainly have an impact on who i became in the long run. but they were, now many, 50 years later, america is a different place. america is not racism or racism is no longer stopping the dreams and hopes of any black person in american life. you can do anything you want. you can be the president, you can be the ceo, you can be a dishwasher, you can be anything that you choose to be in america today. does that mean that every white person is going to love you? i don't know and don't care! what's important is that you have the opportunity. the opportunity is what it's all about. the civil rights movement today is very different than back then. they are not fighting against a real enemy that is going to stunt their lives with bigotry. they are fighting are basically for their rewards. for

for instance, sam mason, the original gangster, military gang members, was appointed by governor patrick henry in the militia in the revolutionary war, he was often a suspect when crimes occurred in his teenage years and his adult years but he was nonetheless appointed justice of the peace and associate judge before he turned to his life of crime. after the war he trained of the counterfeiter and later a river pirate. he lived in a place temporarily called red tank, kentucky, in cumberland. just in cumberland on the ohio river, red banks, kentucky, he was there until the tax collectors came from pennsylvania where he had property and didn't take taxes on it and they sold his farm and didn't have enough to compensate so they came looking for him and he moved to illinois, also on the ohio but closer to the mississippi. it is a beautiful place. i lived in southern illinois, i never knew it was there. it is beautiful, big room carved out of limestone. if you remember coming into the library, the open area in the lobby it is twice as long as that and about as wide, not quite as tall but imagine all

and that's what happened when patrick henry got perhaps 5,000 people to come out when the british government that was the law of the land, started going through their homes and taking whatever they wanted. they responded with guns, citizens coming out of their homes, and no i'm not advocating for those wanting to create fake news, advocating a revolution. we have a constitution in place that they didn't have in 177 h 5 that allows us -- 1775 that allows us to fix things without having a revolution. but the answer is not more gun control laws. this guy was full of evil. he had mental health problems. the system should have prevented him from having a gun. the laws that were in place should have prevented that and i'm grateful the state of texas did its part. he applied for a concealed carry permit and even though the air force conviction wasn't there, there was enough evidence to prevent him from getting a concealed carry permit from the state of texas. but the other laws where the federal government is supposed to protect us, failed to work because the government often fails to do its job. r

henry ford's birthplace, built in dearborn around 1861. he was born here in the upper bedroom in july of 1863. his father was a carpenter, his wasdfather patrick o'hearn also a housebuilder and carpenter. and his father worked for him and that's how henry ford's father met his mother. henry ford's father and grandfather built this house together. and it was relocated here to greenfield village very late in henry ford's life, 1944, one of the few buildings moved in large pieces. it was moved to miles from its original location. it was built over time, we are representing it in its last iteration. sometime in the 1870's. by that time, it had an addition, a series of additions puts on the back, eventually adding on a kitchen and a woodshed for various reasons. the house itself has grown over time. and we are showing you the changes now. it is a rather plain house. by the 1860's, some houses had more detail to it. but it is fairly typical. the furnishings inside are very middle-class. a few homemade pieces, quite a few mass-produced pieces. carpeting and wallpaper. a lot of people are struck by the fact that maybe the family was wealthy, they were

when you're talking about patrick henry, he said -- if you're not strong enough, it can't be done. but there's one thing they overlooked and that is the strength that comes from god that we have and they didn't have. he said we're not weak if you make the proper use of the power of god in our power armed in the holy cause of liberty and such a country we possess are visible that any four star army could send against us. we do not fight battles alone. there is a just god who will raise up friends and fight our battles with us. and he did and they fired that shot heard around the world. i think that's really important today to think about, because people come 0 to this country and they want to know what makes america work. you know, i've been privileged to sponsor the african dinner every february, and people come in from all over africa and they're always surprised when they come and they find out walking through the capitol what real significance that god and the bible have to the history of this country. and now we're the home to the largest christian community in the world. we ca
