richmond airport, seven pines along the richmond york river railroad, the station there, fair oaks station, that was in union hands. today we call it sandston. mechanicsville. the meadow bridges, they were all in union hands. by the end of may. and so joe johnston with his back to the wall so to speak said, look, i can't retreat any further. i'm at the last defensible terrain, i guess if i can't retreat, i'll just attack. so, on the 31st of may, he does just that. he attacks those federal forces that were in positions south of the river. assuming that those north of the river wouldn't be able to come to the assistance of that portion of the union army to the south. it was not a bad plan, but it was a complex plan and dealing with on-the-job training generals like pete longstreet who managed to get lost with a good segment of the attack force on the 31st of may, it really didn't go long for joe johnston, it took an even nastier turn when he got blown off his horse badly injured. nevertheless the less the 1st of june the confederates continue to make assault but by this time the union force

now, richmond has already stepped up in some heartening ways. though the wrongs of centuries cannot be fixed in a few years, the beginning can come during this centennial when we're fortunate suddenly to have people paying attention. dave and i were commenting on a place such as this, a group such as this, used to dealing with ongoing conflicts in the world, suddenly to find ourselves in the spotlight because an anniversary gives a time for reflection. so, i feel a certain sense of urgency we make the most of this time. so, let me tell you a part of the story of richmond in the last couple of years. let me begin with a confession. when i left charlottesville for richmond in 2007, i did not do the simple matha would have revealed that only four years after 2007 we would be here. and i was not ready when they came to me and asked if we would host the first event in the nation back in 2009. i barely knew how to do my day job as a new president but i agreed because i felt like, you know, how could richmond shirk that responsibility to step up and de

from, you know, the richmond port, rockets. so, all lee has done thus far is write this legislation that became the first draft law passed in april. and then in may he saved richmond by sending some people down with guns to drury's bluff. but he's still got to confront george clinton mcclellan and 105,000 union soldiers, who as we know have landed at fort monroe, have encountered the yorktown line. decided to approach it with, quote, regular defenses. that means slow. they're ready to move in early may, and, yes, they move. but this time joe johnston has begun a withdrawal up the peninsula and there's a not a dry sock in the union army. that's the way they describe the effect of the weather on troop movement. lee by this time has adopted, and actually jefferson strateg offensive defense, that is, allow the enemy to penetrate your soil. initially jefferson davis said we'll not give up a single inch of our soil. well, that's impractical. and it didn't work out that way either. so, you allow the enemy to penetrate, but then you --

he and his wife fran are native richmonders. as a matter of fact, emery starred on the thomas jefferson high school football team as the center and the quarterback was james henry benford p.iii who is now the superintendent at the virginia military institute. emery went from thomas jefferson to the university of virginia, where he was a two-sports star. one as the center on the football team, and two is the captain of the party team at the deke house. emery has written widely and perceptively on many aspects of confederate history and biography including the volume about the confederacy in the new american nation series, an acclaimed biographies of jeb stewart and robert e. lee. he's an old friend of the museum of the confederacy and has written and lectured about the museum itself and its role in civil war memory. his latest work "the dogs of war 1861" is a collection of essays that are apropos of the civil war sesquicentennial, he'll be in virginia in april lecturing about jeb stewart at the university of mary washington. grea

abraham lincoln won an election in richmond, virginia? this tells us that perhaps richmond isn't what some people think it is. and it reminds us that the person of the year for 1861 or 1862 is not a popularity contest anymore more "time" magazine's person of the year is a measure of popularity. it is a measure of importance and a means of learning about the year. our panelists will try to convince you, the audience and the voters, that their nominees deserve to be recognized for their importance. without further ado, let's get on to our first nominee and first speaker. bob, for him and the others you will find a biographer in your programs so i will not give long introductions for the benefit of our live television audience. however, let me say a few things about robert k.crique. he's best known as the proud father. bob the elder was for more than 30 years chief historian at the fredericksburg and response veil yann national park and in that capacity was extremely active as a researcher, a writer, a speaker and especially as one of the co

he was here in richmond. he had the rank. jackson would not have been considered -- he wasn't even on the long, long, long slate to consider that. his rank was not high enough. his experience was not high enough. lee was the obvious choice and jackson was not even a candidate. after he had reached lieutenant general's rank late in 1862 is when there might have been the question to which i addressed myself about commanding one of the larger armies while lee took another one. after jackson had the rank mene to that. but people were not jumped two ranks under any circumstances that i can think of. >> richard is in concord, massachusetts. thanks for joining us here on american history tv. >> thank pow hayou for having m. i'm glad someone has picked stonewall. but my question is as historians, we usually don't speculate in what could have happened, but i would like your opinion as to what you think might have happened had general jackson lived past may of 1863. >> i alluded during the formal presentation to the fact hat single que

, potomac railroad to richmond. no, he would go down the chesapeake bay after touching base at fort rest monroe at hampton which never, ever surrendered to the confederates. his plan was then to move up to the rapahac and go ashore someplace like urbana and then move inland cutting off joe johnston's forces there around mannases and centerville. he said he'd need 140,000 soldier toss do that. andusly priority navy assets to move them down the bay through virginia. well, that concept troubled lincoln and his newly-appointed secretary of war, edward stanton. it appear toss them that the army of the potomac could actually do a better job of protecting washington and defeating the confederate forces in northern virginia by attacking head long into mannases. clean out those camps and then head south. by way of fredricksburg. or alternatively, move southwest down toward cullpepper, orange, go donesville, and cut that virginia central railroad line that was bringing so much sustenance from what was already called the bread

in june down here near richmond when they came down here, of course, a federal who was captured asked who someone riding by was. they said that's stonewall jackson. he said is that devil here? betraying the attitude. an indiana soldier, a hoosier, referred to jackson as a prince of bushwhackers, kind of enviously and has outgeneralled call of our commanders. a new yorker writing in the popular press in the north in june said, oh, that the union could find someone as dashing and plucky as this stonewall jackson. one of the favorite court-martials i have ever seen among the 88,000 was of a quartermaster named simms in the fall of 1862. simms was court-martialed for treason. what he had said was, stonewall jackson has whipped us every time we fight him. and for saying such an outrageous thing, he was found guilty. a pennsylvanian, june '62, i'm sorry to say i have frequently heard our men talk as though they believe jackson could not be whipped. in fact, he has to become what might be called a bugaboo. all of this, attitudes in the south and the north, where there had been no doubt of su

the richmond daily whig has been smaning how the war should have been run in hair view, they knew how to run it in the valerie and everywhere else, they had made a lot of fun of jackson and his eccentrici eccentricities. they had the good grace to spoof their earlier instances with a lengthy foe wanted circular. a liberal reward will be given for the apprehension of a confirmed lunatic who escaped from the asylum early in the spring. a nice metaphor for what was going on. he thinks he's an officer in the confederate army. he was offering personal indignity to an aged ex-senator of the united states. all of this alluding to banks and free month and the rest and so on. the entire efforts of the united and confederate states governments have failed to arrest him. the georgia newspaper had been doing harm to jackson early, but they came away. they similarly reverse field and acknowledged that they had been wrong. jackson's recent victories give us a delight the georgia paper said, we hope he will keep on and give us an ap-poe lexie before he stops. so this quite lunatic had become mighty

despite all of his best efforts, mcclellan would have captured richmond. and i think lee was an effective emancipator. about lee's personality and personhood, i close with stuff that somebody will get. lee once wrote his daughter that i am always wanting something, i am always missing something, which is certainly true. robert lee sought something indeed. i'm always wanting something, he decreed, but he tried really hard like the rolling stones' bard and found you get what you need. thank you very much. >> okay. ladies and gentlemen, we're passing out the ballots now. and emery's going to take a couple of questions. while he does that, if you can record your vote, then at the end of his questions, we'll take a quick break and turn in your ballots as you walk out the door. this is going to be a quick break for us to count the ballots, and then you can come back in to hear the results. thank you. >> are there questions? let's see. wherever robert e. lee is on the ballot, that's where you check. anybody need a pen or a pencil or anything? i've tried to stack

and it's stifling hot in july in richmond. so they're all hanging out of these windows trying to get fresh air. but david hated that. he didn't want his jail to become a spectacle. he loathed they were engaging in shouting matches across the yard with richmond citizens. so his order was that if there was an arm sticking out of a window, it would be shot. if there was a head sticking out, it would be shot also. again, it's not his personal responsibility, but when an order comes down from on high to give them permission to take a bead on any yankee that sticks his head or arm out of the window, you know what's going to happen. and the richmond papers make jokes about it, that a soldier has died of concussion of the brain because a bullet went ke through it. that's exactly right. so at least three and probably more soldiers were killed as a result of this particular order. second charge that can be fairly laid at david's door was that he allowed an epidemic to rage in his jail. they didn't know anything about germ theory or dise

the vandalism caused one million dollars worth of damage to the elementary school in richmond. we are learning this isn't the first attack. last month vandals broke into the same building and caused more than $100,000 worth of damage. both acts tagged with the initials, "dj" this is the fifth incidence of serious vandalism in the last four years. police say this recent attack looked coordinated and premeditated. they believe more than one person did it. they say it is not the typical student vandal. they are can considering the possibility this was -- they are considering the possibility this was done by distkpwreufpbt ed employees. it was almost red, a four million dollar project located in one of richmond's poorest neighborhoods. officials are replacing carpets, windows, alarm system. they have a long way to go. police don't have suspects at this time. they are hoping the reward will help bring people forward. amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >>> our time is just about 4:35. alameda county's chief probation officer is on administrative leave following accusations of sexual harassme

they're part of the siege of richmond and that's the 25th army corps is chasing robert e. lee on his way to appomattox. they flank him on the southwest side and it's that southwest side he's trying to break out of there to go out and join johnson in north carolina. 25,000 african-american soldiers. at that point lee had 20,000 men in his own army. that's right. one writer said, david blight, that the general pulled these soldiers back so robert e. lee wouldn't have to suffer the indignity of surrendering to an african-american. first you win the war, now you've got to win the peace so you don't want to offend the dignity of the south's number one. well, sometimes we can manipulate history to get it to go the way we want to. and i think people thought we were never going to learn how to read these documents. let me make one other point about this. and that is that -- i said not only president lincoln needed these soldiers in order to win the war, but also needed them to win the peace. if you read over further into the secession document, each one of these states calls thems

suburbs of richmond. and what did he do? he set his men to work digging trenches, field fortifications. and so this man who had been called granny lee, the overcautious, is now known as the king of spades because all he wants to do is have these trained killers, these warriors, dig ditches with shovels with picks and things and that's not much fun. but that's what soldiers do! and lee points that out. what he wants to do and what he did was to hold richmond with 25,000 troops, fall upon mcclellan's flank which he discovered was exposed by way of stewart's dramatic ride around mcclellan, the raid in june 12-15, 12th through the 15th of 1862. and he's going to fall upon mcclellan's flank with 45,000 troops. and then he's going to bring jackson in from the valley with 20,000 more to attack mcclellan's rear. here is this guy, 200 soldiers at harper's ferry and now he's commanding, add all that up. 25,000, 47,000, 20,000, 92,000 people. and, guy goby god, it worked, f limited perspective anyway. mcclellan was halted, embarrassed

lee when he leaves richmond on his way to apomapics. they flank him on the southwest side and he's trying to break out and go down to johnson and north carolina. he looks out of the side, he sees 25,000 after can american soldiers. at that point lee had fewer than 20,000 men in his own army. that's right. one writer said, david blight, that general grant pulled soldiers back so robert e. lee wouldn't have to suffer the dignity of surrendering to an african-american regiment. that's the kind of healing. first you win the war, now have you to win the peace. so, you don't want to offend the dignity of the south, number one. well, sometimes we can manipulate history to get it to go the way we want to. and i guess people must have thought we were never going to learn how to read these documents. let me make one other point. let me make one other point about this. that is, that the -- that -- i said not only did president help him win the war but he also needed them to win the peace. because if you read over further into the south carolina do

i am also a richmond district neighbor. while i am not working on the other events in the park, i get to experience them from my apartment. which i consider a benefit. touching back on hardly strictly, we have through our neighborhood outreach increased our sign image and printed sign it on just about all of the entrances to the park about two weeks before my load in date. it is usually built -- about one week before the event goes on. those signs talk about closures, road closures that are happening so that neighbors can be alerted. people that drive through the area, about one week before the event they put up signs, digital signs that lets the 19th avenue traffic know as well. another important thing to talk about is controlling traffic. we have increased the muni on the north and south side of the park over the years, as well as increasing our bike parking. many people have seen the videos of how many bikes actually come and we have just about every bicycle off of a tree that was on a tree.

and then i go back to new richmond, wisconsin, to practice law. and in the spring of 1960, i read in the papers about the sit-ins by the kids in north carolina, and i realized that, you know, nothing had happened. nothing really had happened. sure, the brown decision had happened, but as far as solving the problem, nothing had happened. and the second thing about it was that i always felt that wisconsin was really a second-class state because it had an honest system of self-government. we had a two-party system. functioned reasonably well. but we were competing with the one-party system in the south, and if you looked at that period of history, it didn't really ever happen that there was a senator from wisconsin who was a powerful committee chairman of one of the powerful committees in the senate. they were always from the south. and that seemed to be, if you -- that didn't comport with my sense of fairness. and so, there was a regional attitude came out of a regional attitude, at least for me, that it would be good for the country, good for wisco
