to escape to philadelphia to gain that freedom. in fact, that very act of african-american community is the source of the creation of mother betle ame church in philadelphia, the first african-american church of this nation. so, again, we have this irony. we have washington in philadelphia in the white house with nine enslaved people in a community, a nearby community that wasn't necessarily supportive of this idea of enslavement. and, in fact, one of those who were enslaved with washington in philadelphia escapes. her name is oney judge. she was the enslaved servant of martha washington, had been her enslaved servant for many, many years. one night they asked her to go out to get food for the next day. she went to the market and she didn't come back. oh, my goodness. that's what george said. that's what martha said. at first they were worried that maybe something had happened to her, that she'd been kidnapped or killed or murdered. but later what they found out is that she turned up not at the local market but in new hampshire. i

c-span: what is the philadelphia? >> guest: it was one of the gondolas at the battle of valcour island in october of 1776. it was the first of the american ships, i think, to go down. the ships were drawn up in a line between the island and the mainland, and as the british beat back up towards them, as i explained, they came sort of one and two at a time, and the americans tried to stick together and just throw everything they could at them. they didn't have a whole lot. the philadelphia was hit and sank. i think she was hit in the afternoon and then sank after dark. c-span: do you remember what year they brought that ship up? >> guest: no, i'm afraid i don't. it was not that long ago. they sent divers down and got her. arnold's flagship is still at the bottom of ferris bay. when the battle was over and he'd finally escaped with a few ships but knew he couldn't get all the way down to crown point and the british were right on his tail just coming right down out of these three huge ships after these little tiny sort of

so that is what happens in philadelphia and in fact one historian has called it the miracle of philadelphia because no one was sure of this thing would get out of philadelphia to begin with. there were so many different ideas and opinions floating around in philadelphia that they appeared in the constitution was going to die before the middle of the summer of 1787. and the story you often hear about the constitution is simple. it's the large states against small states. dickinson, sherman a rutledge all came from small states. medicine of courses from a very large state, but that's not the real issue. in fact the real issue was what type of government were we going to have? was a going to be a national government or a federal government? today we have a federal government. in the founding generation they did not call it that. they didn't call it that coming out of philadelphia. for people like dickinson and sherman of rutledge said we don't want a national government. we want to federal government. james madison wanted a national government. what is the difference? the federal government wa

lawrence, they didn't communicate with philadelphia. but the rumors were about, these men in congress knew they had to act quickly, before peace came. governor morris wrote to his friend, quote, not much for the interest of america that peace should be made at present. think about that. not much in our interests that peace should be made. it is in our interest that the war be prolonged. meanwhile, up at the camp in newburg, the officers muttering and murmerring, there arrive a new general. hess name horacio gates. gates was not a man much troubled by principle or loyalty. earlier in the war he had distinguished himself as the commander of the american army at the battle of saratoga, the great victor of saratoga, where he defeated the general. what we sometimes for get about that year, 1777, called by the british the year of the hangman for the three 7s being gallows we forget in that same year that we were celebrating saratoga, the accomplishments of general gates, general washington retreated from brandy wine, germantown, and lost phil

however, despite latrobe's constant travel to philadelphia and new york and baltimore as well, he did not look very closely at washington, georgetown or alexandria businesses. and this displeased a great many people including a mrs. mary sweeney who had one of the best upholstery shops in washington at the time. and since he did not call upon her, she felt it her duty to spread gossip about latrobe to the papers. yes. it happened then, too. latrobe was typefaced as an eager and aggressive and loud mouthed designer. and this affected him so much that he ended up having to confront mrs. madison on the matter. in september 1809 he writes, as far as i could perceive boldly, a surveyor of the public buildings, but in my capacity of up holtsterer, so i'm called in the papers, which obviously he didn't agree with, i found that i could not be as useful as i wished. referring to mrs. sweeney. he goes on to write, having, however, received two anonymous letters to the same effect, i've not presumed to interfere beyond my duties as surveyor of the public buildings and have refrained from enterin

george bridgeport of philadelphia was employed to paint the ceiling and the woodwork. he was known for his subtlety in application. this box is actually mrs. madison's tea box. it was given by her to mrs. latrobe, so it's one of the only other things besides the gilbert stuart that survives at the white house. it's on exhibit right now. what we've come to figure out from this is that this wallpaper was most likely the wallpaper that was used in the elliptical salon. when we come back to the painting again, you'll see this is actually used as historical reference. there's an inscription here from mrs. madison to mrs. latrobe. they'd known each other since infancy. so that always helped mr. latrobe's causes when he seemed to be on the outs with the madisons. mrs. madison was known to have spent most of her time working on her own parlor chamber than any other room in the house. also known as the antechamber where the president received guests. the space was said to be extremely fashionable done mostly in a yellow color. with sofas and chairs in the same satin and festoon

urban cities like new york, boston, philadelphia, charleston and now baltimore were hubs for industry. many luxuries for upper class americans had to be brought in from foreign lands like textiles, food, and even natural resources like furniture production. what is difficult to understand in this day and age, design sources were largely imported. there were american craftsmen, but craftsmen relied about publications set foergz in england and france and italy to develop the furniture they were going to make. even furniture designs as well. clothing designs. he used his english design sources and specifications that he englished to produce and his furniture designs reflected thomas hope's which were made famous for household furniture published in london in 1807 and this is out of hope's book. does this look familiar? we will see that later as well. the design source was appropriate as they based so much style, governing and taste on reflections of ancient greece and rome. this was the site right here and rooms that were focused right around an tick witty and the collection of vases whe

these two men then replied to the men from philadelphia. knox replied first. to governor morris, he told governor morris, i consider the reputation of the american army as one of the most immaculate things on earth. we should even suffer wrongs and injuries to the utmost verge of toleration rather than sully it in the least degree. i hope to god that the army will never be directed than against the enemies of the liberties of america. a few days later washington replied to hamilton. the fatal tendency to involve the army in political matters would be productive of civil commotions and end in blood. i stand as citizen and soldier. citizen and soldier. well, the nationalists clearly had been rebuffed by knox and washington. and so they quite naturally turned to a man with whom they knew they could deal, general gates. general gates had his headquarters at a place called ellison house, very near the encampment. was surrounded there by a young staff, majors, lieutenant colonels. here's an interesting side light that i'll share with you. in talking the events here

in philadelphia, congress decided or certain members of the congress decided to take action. pressed now, fearing that peace was coming, they decided to make their move. governor morris wrote to his good friend, general henry knox. the man from boston. book seller from boston. knox had been with washington since the very first days of the war. he was washington's closest friend in the field. morris wrote to henry knox. he addressed his letter "my dear friend." he suggested that if knox would agree, that general knox might lead the army to press the states. he went on to say to his friend, knox, the army may now influence the legislatures and if you will permit me a metaphor from your own profession, after you have carried the post, the public creditors will garrison it for you. well, morris was given the assignment to write to general knox. knox at this time the commander at west point. alexander hamilton was given the task to write to general washington. hamilton and washington had a tortured relationship. alexander hamilton arrived in america just before the revolution. tim

i mean, you came out of philadelphia. what were the differences in the attitude of race in philadelphia versus georgia? >> well, it was -- well, to give you an example of this is 1959 and when i was going to fort stewart, georgia i was on the bus and i remember stopping, i believe, in -- well, some town just south of -- you know, just as you get into virginia and i saw -- it was -- it was saint -- it was petersburg, i think. petersburg, virginia and the bus stopped and i was -- i woke up and i saw a sign. it said white waiting room and colored waiting room. and that was the first time i was exposed to that. and in savannah when we got down to savannah, the -- i got off the bus to kind of walk around. i got back on the bus and there's a lady sitting on my seat. i was sitting right behind the driver because i got on the bus in philadelphia. and this white lady sitting beside -- sitting in my seat and i said, "excuse me, ma'am." and so she said, "well this -- boy, this seat is taken." and so i said, "i know it's taken. it's

when the delegates to the continental congress gathered in philadelphia in the summer of 1776 to vote on the question of american independence, it's virtually certain that no one in that room with the possible exception of john adams was thinking about the consequences of their pronouncements for the status of women. in the revolutionary era, matters of politics and government were thought to be exclusively the province of men. men were the primary landowners. ownership of land was thought to give men the virtue, independence and stake in society that qualified them to vote. women, on the other hand, were political ciphers, legal prescriptions prevented married women from owning property. most women had not had the benefit of a formal education and were believed to lack the knowledge to make informed decisions about issues involving politics and government. but perhaps most important, war, diplomacy and state making were considered to be beyond women's understanding and interest. women were supposed to care more about hearth and home than about tyrannical kings and the right to self-g
