eastern pennsylvania, lancaster, pennsylvania, albany, new york, these were small frontier towns that became centers for that kind of diplomacy. this is an image from a map produced in 1765 that showed a treaty conference happening on the ohio frontier after a british military expedition into the region. it's not a perfect image, but it's one that somewhat approximates what happened at lancaster in 1744. you have an outdoor meeting. you know, oftentimes in these towns there wasn't a public building large enough to accommodate the size of the audience these meetings would attract. you have a group of officials, in this case, british military officers, sitting around the council fire on one side. and you have a group of indian males sitting on the other side this. indian is making a speech at the council fire. he has a wampum belt he's holding in his hand as he makes his speech. if you look around the scene you also see the tents of the soldiers who are in camp nearby. here's a scottish soldier. you can tell he is a scottish soldier. he is wearing a kilt. what i love about this image, t

look, we had a safe and secure election here in pennsylvania.

why did they put pennsylvania? jersey. he's from pennsylvania. yeah, whatever. i'm from texas so that's another -- anyway. i am really proud of andy, not only for his work in the committee, we operate in a very bipartisan way. this gathering is bipartisan. we are not standing in as republicans or democrats, but as americans for a righteous cause that's protecting the partners we said we would protect. andy serves as the strategic advisor in afghanistan. i can't think of a better

i mentioned that he was a native of the greene county, pennsylvania, southwestern pennsylvania. cole county -- coal county. he was not only a miner himself as a young man, while getting a degree at penn state and eventually a law degree at villanova university, but he worked in the coal mines himself. he was a third generation miner. just like any coal mining community, virtually anyone was working in the mine. the town he was born and raised in is on the greene county /fayette county border. it was that kind of community, a coal mining community, as was most of rheem county in those days. -- greene county in those days. i think of this community from the perspective of my own ancestors. i come from the other end of the state. all the way in the northeastern art of the state. scranton, northeastern pennsylvania. also a coal community. they were the main counties producing anthracite coal, hard coal. where rich was living was soft coal, as they called it. the great novelist stephen crane visited a coal mine near my hometown of scranton and at the time he was a very young man. i t

there's 67 counties in pennsylvania. you know, that encourages counties to cut corners and do it on the cheap, and that's how pennsylvania has always handled the death penalty. so the atlantic center is a resource -- it's really a resource center for people facing the death penalty either pretrial or after they have received the death sentence, we try to help in any way we can by offering training to lawyers across the state, and we consult in almost all the cases that we can consult on, and then, you know, we do some individual representation as well. so we're basically, you know, a small nonprofit trying to keep a finger in the dam essentially. >> get's get to the book. it's a marvelous book. all 12 of the chapters in the book are fascinating. i thought one case i might ask you to talk about to begin with because it deals with both mental health issues which is a striking thing that we have learned about it in the book as well as race issues is andre thomas's case. it is a case out of texas. >> there's so much to talk

right next door was in philadelphia, pennsylvania. if the story goes that sour was critical of benjamin franklin's german, translations because he was driven himself, he was kind of a war the story is reported that, because of that, when. he was buying paper, he was told that he had to buy in the paper, or pay for the paper completely. so, when he was ready to produce his second bible in 1760, you want to get the paper, and paper said you pay full, or you don't get any at all. and so, christopher saller produces -- he has a paper mill and he prints the very first bible printed with american made paper in 1760. and then, in 1776 his typeset's wearing out, his son has taken over the business. christopher shower junior. they produce new type scent. they produce this european -- or luther bible, 1743, 1763. and then 1776, a very important date in american history, they would print the first bible printed in america with american made typeset. but the story is really interesting. according to isaiah thomas, also a historical printer, the b

down pennsylvania avenue. however at that particular parade, the united states colored troops were not allowed to march. so what we're doing today, is we are correcting that oversight. and the u.s. cities will march today down pennsylvania avenue. we've been planning this for about 18 months. and we've been trying to reach out all across the country, for participants and we've had over 1500 people today, that includes not only soldiers but descendants of the soldiers. >> i'm from tennessee my name is letha granberry. once a day i am here to honor my great great grandfather. he was from tennessee, so he enlisted in the u.s. color troops army in 1863. >> can you tell us a bit about your ancestor? >> what i know about him he it must have been an 1863 he was raised in tennessee, and he was with the 59th regiment and he was in the battle of -- and. he had expeditions in mississippi and he also helped protect the camp in memphis. he was there for a while and he had another expedition in tupelo he wasn't tupelo. so h

they had relied on a pattern of trade with pennsylvania, an alliance both with pennsylvania, and really, with each other, for a number of years without really having further coalesced as any kind of a political unit. and then this was the group, of course, that was directly attacked by virginia militia in dunn moore's war in 1774, particularly the shawnees who bun for thought was the most hostile of these groups. the shawnees were engaged in that war, a battle at point pleasant in 1774. you remember that dunn moore's war established the principle at least in the minds of virginians, that kentucky was now open to settlement. so one of the oddities of the american revolution is that in the spring and summer of 1775, this is the same time that the shot heard round the world was fired at lexington -- or at concord, rather. the battle of lexington and concord. the battles of bunker hill. at the same time all that stuff was going on in new england. at the same time, parties of virginians were moving into this newly claimed land in 1775. and without permission from the crown, without any legit

pennsylvania is a great example of that.e have 18 members of congress, nine democrats, nine republicans. all nine republicans were sworn in and believe the election results that were for them are valid. eight of them disagreed with the results of the election for the president, which would really be counterintuitive. it would mean that somehow their votes counted the votes for the president didn't across the state of pennsylvania. to me, that is indicative of this conversation that this election was stolen. in terms of infrastructure and dollars that we are spending, i think that is a reflection of our national values, and they ought to be in building our economy and our infrastructure and making sure we have bridges and tunnels and broadband. but also that we have child care, elder care, health care. those are our national values, i believe. independent of whether you are a democrat or republican. i am looking forward to the continuation of this administration and the continuation of moving forward legislation in the infras

on your way to pennsylvania.hat were the differences that you noticed about the way people live in cities versus rural america? neil: you really notice if you pay attention to the kind of rings of cities, how they are organized and how they finally become rural. i paid a lot of attention. it was rings of wealthier, bigger homeowners, than a ring of people who have smaller houses, service workers of different kinds. you sort of expand into planned developments, then it slowly gives way to building suspense for when i was going to see my firstborn -- first barn, the first smell of bona fide manure, cows. it took about a day and a half before i actually got into that kind of territory. then i got into some very sparsely populated areas, particular in northern maryland, going up towards the mason-dixon line. that was really a fascinating stretch. susan: the town names you posted on twitter are pretty colorful, railroad pennsylvania, freedom, maryland, new freedom, pennsylvania. what kind of glimpse do they give you?

christopher sour was in germantown, pennsylvania, ben franklin was right next door in philadelphia, pennsylvania. the story goes that sour was critical of benjamin franklin's german translation because sour was a german himself. so there's kind of a i don't know if you call it war, there was opposition against the two. the story is reported because of that when sour was buying paper, he was told he had to pay for the paper completely. so when he was ready to produce a second bible in 1763, he went to get the paper and the paper maker said you pay in full or you don't get any at all. christopher sour has a paper mill and prints the first in 1763. then in 1776, typeset is wearing out. his son has taken over the business. christopher sour jr. they produced new typeset. they produce this german bible, luther bible, 1743, 1763, and then in 1776, important date in american history they would print the first bible printed in america with american made typeset. but the story is really interesting. according to isiah thomas, also a historical printer, the british during the germantown battle commandeered

he had pennsylvania, michigan, arizona being called for joe biden or not being called for him. seeing his boat slip away, and you feel and mark. >> i actually look at the real vocals, i don't think these projections are the end all and be all and you could argue with some of them. however, what i focused on in the book is the fact that the changes in election law in states like pennsylvania, in states like nevada, and other critical states like georgia, these changes brought about by emergency decree by health officials and governors and in some cases by people who've never been elected to office, never going through the legislature as they should be changed the nature of our election. our election system works well but it doesn't take changes that are dramatic and sudden and suddenly you have most of the country voting by mail when only 20 or 30 percent of it had voted by mail in 2016. burden and those changes not being well thought out and implement it properly rated a lot of confusion, a lot of chaos and frankly opportunity i think for people to engage in irregularities and

getting the conspiracies from his home state of pennsylvania.uld try and fail to topple the leadership at the justice department in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. so who exactly is republican congressman scott perry? sarah murray is "outfront." >> reporter: a little known pennsylvania congressman who publicly parroted claims of election fraud. >> we want the ballots and votes that are counted to be league. >> reporter: was privately helping donald trump's efforts to overturn the election. scott perry has acknowledged he introduced trump to jeffrey clark, an environmental law chief at the justice department. he worked with the white house to push baseless fraud claims and attempted a leadership coup to oust jeffrey rosen and take the job himself. according to documents and testimony from former justice department officials. perry had a friendly relationship with trump. >> a wonderful man who represents this area, scott perry. >> reporter: it's unclear how he knew clark, but the three men were united in their embrace of election conspir

congress is worried in the pennsylvania assembly worried and flee for their lives.ked george washington to put down the mutiny from washington tells mutineers go home. just go home. he pardons people and for a second time he brilliantly handles a near mutiny. by this time washington realizes this new experiment and popular government is going to be very difficult. washington starts to put together a vision, a dream if you will for what kind of nation we need to have so the war ends fall of 1783 pretty much the question is, now what? what happens next? a political and economic and civil fracture, the royalists, those who were loyal to the crown, they left. that meant the bankers, the architects all left. this republican little in the way of schools and colleges and museums and libraries, a few trained professionals from other country is war-torn. veterans have not been paid. the currency is worthless so everybody on everyone's mind has the question, now what? you had an answer except george washington. so washington puts together ports known as a circular letter to t

what a focus on the book of the changes in election law states like pennsylvania, states like nevada, and other critical states like georgia, these changes brought about by emergency decrees, by health officials, by governors in some cases people of never been elected to office. never going to the legislature doesn't take changes that are dramatic and sudden 120 or 30% this changes not being well thought out or implemented creates a lot of confusion a lot of chaos and sometimes fraud. no i don't think the election was legitimate. i do think it was a series of warning signals that should be a wake-up call for all of us. i think regardless of who runs in 2024 i do not want to go through this again. and 2020 we had a very disputed election 2016 we had very disputed election. one third of hillary clinton voters said they did not accept the results it was all illegitimate trumpets told the election. 20213th i'm sorry one third of trump supporters and believe it flat out stolen and illegitimate. the country as a democracy cannot give anyone the credibility to lead our country at the signifi

he came down here after a generation in pennsylvania which is kind of the typical story. museum wanted this property because the family story was shared by so many other families at about the same time. we are currently in the parlor and this rather fancy, the parlor was added by the original owner's grandson in 1820 but it is an older house. by the time this house looked like this and by the time this parlor, we can see behind me looked like this in 1820, the frontier was basically in missouri, that would be the frontier, out to the mississippi, but when the main part of this house is built across the hall from us in 1773, it would depend from what vantage point you were looking. if you were in philadelphia, then in philadelphia area, for example, largest city in the colonies at the time, this in the valley would be the far west, far frontier which technically today, it's really further west from us like over -- over mountain, maybe an hour or two west, technically the frontier but it would look like the frontier to most people. in fact, when joe bowman came thinking of

in pennsylvania, we had a hard-fought race, and joe biden carried pennsylvania. but you are going to continue to see, in pennsylvania, and a lot of other states, republicans doing the bidding of trump, trying to overturn -- or trying to perpetuate the lie to overturn the election, even going as far as some of them not only condoning but even participating in the violence of january the 6th. but now you are going to see it in legislation and other efforts. the good news is, some republican counties are refusing to engage in the -- or take steps to foster big lie. like, for example, as was noted recently, kai owinga county, a republican party voted 70% for donald trump would not go along with this part of the big life. let's hope that continues in counties throughout the country. >> now, senator, according to the pittsburgh post gazette, hundreds of thousands of residents in your state are at risk for eviction after the federal eviction moratorium ended yesterday without congress passing an extension. we know that you cosponsored the brown-schumer bill to extend th

pennsylvania and new york are almost fighting one another. states can agree on how to trade with your court across state borders. washington says we have errors to correct. we need a stronger government. washington asks alexander hamilton to get involved and in 1786 hamilton calls for convention in the city of annapolis in maryland. the probably handful of states showed up. everybody argued and embarrassingly walked out. that's no way to start a government of washington stays with it and pushes along with hamilton for a convention the following year. 1787. they're going back to philadelphia hoping lightning strikes twice. they have errors to correct. they have to improve the articles if they would ultimately create a new constitutional system of government, strengthen our government and find ways of moving forward in more unity united way. next light. so what we don't know is people know all about the founding debates over slavery, over the electoral college, over how do we pick a president but there was another i always call it the other fou

as you said, i was previously the state health official in pennsylvania. what we really need is very close collaboration and coordination between federal public health officials, state public health officials, and local public health officials. that collaboration is how will -- how we will be most successful. frances: thank you. i have a viewer question. i'm going to read it to you now. it is from mary jo from ohio. do you advise masks in crowded outdoor events such as concerts and airshows? asst. sec. levine: the covid-19 virus and even the delta variant is less likely to be transmitted outdoors. it is much more likely to be transmitted indoors. if you were in a very tightly packed outdoor setting, it would be reasonable to wear a mask. and it is really personal choice about the level of protection you would like. frances: so, i would like to ask about a policy president biden announced, federal employees should be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. is weekly testing sufficient to slow this virus, particularly now that we have the delta variant? asst.

>> like i said before, i'm from a small town in pennsylvania called newengull, pennsylvania, and we were the only black people out there. and so there were no prejudice whatsoever, because i got along fine with everybody. and the only sports we had were tumbling and basketball. i was the anchorman on the tumbling team and captain of the basketball team, and my senior year i was class president and valedictorian and i was treated just like any other person, and like i said, i didn't get, and the only when i noticed or was subjected to segregation is when i took the train from 44th pennsylvania to fort mead, maryland to washington, d.c., and we had a two-hour layover to fort mead, and so i got off of the train and went to eat breakfast and i went to get back into the car and they said, "no, you ride in the car where the negros ride." and so welcome to the south. >> and your introduction to discrimination. i can feel it. the same thing. >> that was my introduction to segregation. but i did not let it bother me. the way i looked at it, i didn't have the problem, and they had the problem, and

what's the real situation in pennsylvania right now?vania could very well be or end up kind of like what we're seeing in arizona right now. so pennsylvania is a state that wasn't nearly as close. i think biden carried it by more than 80,000 votes. but what a couple of more right-wing state senators there, including doug mastriano have been very focused on bringing a forensics review. a few weeks ago he sent letters to three counties asking them for election machines, ballot records and voting records and trying to do his own version of an audit there. now, those counties didn't have to comply. they refused to. philadelphia said it would cost them $35 million to comply with those requests and it would expose some of these voting machines to either an uncredentialed or unknown vendor who would be conducting this. so after all of that and after the secretary of state or the acting secretary of state in pennsylvania discouraged those counties from participating, senator mastriano was removed from his position. and now the top republican in

it will unite maryland, virginia, pennsylvania. the roads from the edges of the tributaries of the potomac would run west into what is today the ohio territory, pittsburgh and so forth and so on. so the potomac within connect north and south as it was equal distance between the two, and east and west that would serve to function and serve to unite the new capital city with the atlantic ocean, and so on and so forth. that's washington's vision. next. now in the constitution, over the debate, over the debate of the capital city, article 1, section 8 agreed the capital city should be ten miles square. that's 100 miles. what it means is this capital city almost laughably, this capital city will be larger than paris, london, the great capitals of the world. yet it would be built out of bogs and woods. the question remain however we would these ten miles square feet? next slide. the initial argument was new york city would serve as our interim capital. washington is inaugurated. it supposed to be on march 4, 1789. he's late. it's not unt

but a lot of them took the path and went to pennsylvania. and then of course a number of them was they got there, they looking for the chief i did a lot of them kind of leave pennsylvania eventually them about two other areas spreading out. but the pennsylvania germans are still very vulnerable today. >> hi, i am sarah and i am at interpreter here in virginia. we are at the 1740s american settlement so known as the bakken country the american colonies or the colonial frontiers and what also are called and west of the blue ridge mountains so people had already settled in this area about maybe a decade or so before 1740. so people had already started to move west of that area. and land grants and families will be recruited to settle the virginia. occasionally we'll see one man coming out here to settle an area of most of the time, it would be families. on average we say about four - nine people and they would've established themselves in the pennsylvania area first so they would be familiar with living here and they would've had the means to p
