and what is today east potomac park? sediment and silk builds up and to keep it navigable they developed this tidal basin so that twice a day 250 million gallons of water is released from the tidal basin down through the washington channel. flushes the sediment away. there are two bridges that give access to the tidal basin. there is the inlet bridge where the water comes in and there is the outlet bridge where the water goes out. each of those bridges has gates on the underside of them. title action closes the inlet gates in the morning when the tidal basin is full at the same time the title action opens the outlet gate and lets the water go out and as the tides change each day a day day in and day out the title action opens and closes the gates to let the water in and let the water out. the cherry trees were the inspiration of washington writer by the name of eliza skidmore. she had visited. pan in 1884 and seen the cherry trees there had seen what a what a wonderful scene they create every spring and and how important

people had come from all over the country to camp in west potomac park to get ready for this traffic blockade, which was sort of a last-ditch effort after six years of the movement, to force the government to pull all of the u.s. troops out of vietnam. greta: why did they come? what was happening that they decided that they needed to descend on washington? lawrence: the war had been going on for six years in intense way. the movement started almost the same time that the war did, by people who believed that the war was ethically wrong or was unwinnable, or was draining the resources of the country that should have been put towards domestic problems. millions of people were on the streets over those years, picketing, parading and marching, petitioning and working on political campaigns. the war had been started primarily by president lyndon johnson back in 1965. johnson was in some ways run out of the white house by the growing antiwar sentiment in the country. richard nixon was elected in 1968. one of the reasons he was elected was his promise to end the war. rather than ending the w

it happens to be near his beloved potomac. he was obsessed with the potomac. which she had canoed, surveyed and charted and he knew it he loves it. let's naÏvely alludes to thet potomac is greater the tigers and euphrates which is why the hudson and other rivers were in thewh equation. he's going to forge a brand-new capital.wn washington helped select the site. washington surveys a lot of it. washington picks the architects for he picks the finest french architect and engineer who he knew through his service in a revolutionary war he was also a mason that helped. but he is classically trained in paris and most importantly shared washington's vision of a glorious capital of the ages the grand boulevards that intersect for their public squares in each of the filled with memorials and monuments and glorious marble looking buildings. so it left font washington's exaggerated view of the capital part washington picks the architecture another immigrant, james hogan from ireland. washington is part of the effort to get the scottish stone masons to come in and provide

and that's why these folks were camped in west potomac park getting ready for this protest. they had had a permit to do it, but the nixon administration was increasingly worried about the effect of all these protests. so therefore they secretly revoked the permit on saturday, and then on sunday morning 50 years ago, they sent in the police to clear out the park in the hopes that most of the people who had come to d.c. for this blockade would just disperse and go home and there would be no protest on monday morning, but that is not what happened. >> i want to show our viewers and have them and you react to president nixon on april 7th, 1971 in his address about ending the war in vietnam. let's listen. >> i think the hardest thing that a president has to do is to present posthumously the nation's highest honor, the medal of honor, to mothers or fathers or widows of men who have lost their lives but in the process have saved the lives of others. we had an award ceremony in the east room in the white house just a few weeks ago. and at that ceremony, i remember one of the recipie

but as you've been here before 1890 or so, we would be in the middle of the potomac river. this area has evolved over the years, there's been an element of recreation, but with the passing of time recreation has become much more important than it was initially. as early as 1890, there was an established swimming area, around what we call today the tidal basin. with the planting of the cherry trees in 1912, that really created interest and tourism and visitation around the title basin. and throughout the years as more and more memorials have been designed and built along the tidal basin we have seen to the numbers today where millions of visitors a year, make a trip for recreational purposes to this area. >> this area was reclaimed and dredged by the army engineers, starting about 1991, to create a pond and a basin of sorts that would operate off of the tides, hence the name the title title basin. they were looking as something to act as a visual centerpiece for the city, like the mall and they were looking for something they could harness with tides to help flush the channe

get the distinction of being one of the tallest regiments on average to serve in the army of the potomac. company g is almost entirely over six feet tall and some accounts place their captain at around 6 foot 11 and the rest of the regimen tended to have about 50% or more at or above six feet tall, so i would have to imagine that this is a pretty imposing regimen in line of battle if you're marching out on the battlefield across from them. now we're not going to talk about every battle experience that the 27th, indiana has if you want to look through that i highly recommend they're regimental history because it is is very well written, but i want to touch on their first. so their first battle is the first battle of winchester and may of 1862 and it is it is not a great debut showing they're going to lose dozens of their soldiers captured in their first engagement. it's going to be kind of a chaotic debacle. all around ranking is going to lose a lot of local friends to that uncertainty of prisoner of war life, but this chaos of combat is going to set a precedent for what some of rankin's
