slave holding republic did not accept the haitian revolution. you may recall in the 1820s there was a movement of the free negro population including those from baltimore to haiti they were moving to haiti not only to escape persecution that they routinely encountered in north america, but also intending to bolster and fortified haiti as the independent black republic to playing a key role to keep the independent republic afloat also wants is keeping they did not forsake for forget their brothers and sisters here in north america although in the abolition societies on the island were very much involved to help stir up antislavery sentiment in the united states of america itself leading to the second half of the story which is the united states hopes to instigate the revolutionary island of haiti because it is now occupied by two states, haiti in the dominican republic it was in 1844 the u.s. secretary of state calhoun from slave holding south carolina helped to engineer one of the first covert actions a foreign policy to help fund a secession of

and the reporters in the spanish republic tended to stick together. they stayed in the same hotel in madrid, they dinner together every night at the same table that was reserved at the same restaurant and afterwards they prepared drinks in his suite at the hotel and you can find descriptions of all of these in the memoir. now, in this kind of situation the question for me becomes what stories did they miss. in one case it when almost unreported by the correspondence at the time. the second second case it went entirely unreported. here's what the stories were, the first story was this when franco and his nationalists made their grab for power in july july 1936, in much of the country that they did not succeed in taking over, particularly spain's northeast, barcelona and surrounding catalonia, they were defeated not by army troops but by hastily organized, badly armed militias that had been formed by left-wing political parties. having beaten back this cooler tent the working-class militias found themselves essentially in control of huge swaths of the c

i'm from the czech republic. >> hold it closer to your mouth. >> yes, originally from czech republic. a long time in america. my question is i don't want to make your life more difficult. but what happens if let's say on top of all the problems that already exist, you suddenly are faced with a banking crisis? >> you're absolutely right. it's also one of the most serious problems which we have now. and maybe we need strong resolute steps forward. and i'm convinced that we are speaking about economic era. in current state, we are not building to develop right solution. and we have some countries and we are not solving this problem. i'm convince swred to develop something new. for example, you know the czech republic is not part of the euro zone? on one side we're interested to the part of this covering. on the other, i have some doubts. i would like to tell you why. i remember this press conference of john clawed was maybe, i don't know, in a few months ago. he was asked why u.s. european commission you are not building to act and you are so dedicated to france. and the response because

but there was grave consternation in the slave holding republic of the victory of the haitian revolution and you may recall if you look at many of the major slave revolts that rocked north america through 181821 or 22 they all had the fingerprints of haiti in particular the revolt in virginia that takes place at the same time as the haitian revolution is unfolding but also interested in south carolina reportedly the ambition was not only to revolt against slavery in an escape but to even sailed to freedom to the island that was ruled so what is interesting about these revolts it is not unlike those other taking place in the hemisphere or direct instigation in fact, the argument that i make that it ignited a general crisis that could only be resolved so if you try to understand why slavery collapsed in north america you should only natalie look to the four corners but to haiti in oslo to the inspiration of the british abolitionist in london.

the first half was the republic, ruled by elected senators. last half was the empire, ruled by unelected emperors. in its glory days, the word "rome" meant not just the city, but what romans considered the entire civilized world. everyone was either roman or barbarian. people who spoke latin or greek were considered civilized, part of the empire. everyone else, barbarian. according to legend, rome was founded by two brothers, romulus and remus. abandoned in the wild and suckled by a she-wolf, they grew up to establish the city. in actuality, the first romans mixed and mingled here -- in the valley between the famous seven hills of rome. this became the roman forum. in 509, they tossed out their king and established the relatively democratic roman republic. that began perhaps history's greatest success story, the rise of rome. from the start, romans were expert builders, and they had a knack for effective government. this simple brick building was once richly veneered with marble and fronted by a grand portico. it's the curia. the senate met he

you can have a republic if you can keep it. it became a certainty for me in 1790.was a good century. the first five years and the last 10. years, that was a time of first things i wish i could have seen. times, power was handed from one head of state to another only by heredity or by the sword. treachery, imprisonment, hired assassins, but peaceably and by popular election? i think there is no precedent for that. if that should happen, as it 1797, that would be most remarkable. by then, iite dead was obliged to watch the ceremonies from above the door in a toga. >> have a seat somewhere. good afternoon. i would like to welcome you all in congress all. you are now seated in the billing that was used between 1790 and 1800, and those 10 years, philadelphia was the capital of our country, and congress had to have a building to use. now, keep in mind, the constitution, ratified, though congress moved in less than a year after that happened, and they were busy organizing our country using their brand-new government, they added three new states to the government, vermont,
