how does robert e. lee save his army after the defeat of gettysburg, and what does george meade do when he perseus robert e. lee's defeated army as they leave the gettysburg battlefields? george meade and robert e. lee. this is a map showing the troop dispositions after the battle of gettysburg. it ended on july 3, 1863. dead bodies everywhere. nearly 10,000 dead in round numbers. both armies were absolutely exhausted. and there were just so many wounded soldiers left behind. every civilian in town did what they could to help the wounded and would later do with they could to help the dead and bury the dead. now, as you look at this illustration, it shows the movements of the army following the battle of gettysburg. the red line represents the confederate army's movements and the blue line the union. on july 3, 1863, robert e. lee immediately begins moving his army, before the evening is out he's already making plans to direct his soldiers to get out of gettysburg as quickly as they can and save their army a

colonel, in an army property lee. -- robert e lee, and they put down the raid. he was sentenced to hang several months later. not the first or last that henry wentz and robert hoffman served under robert e. lee. guys did nothese write during the civil war. i found some letters from leslie . it is an indication -- it is important. they were in the shepherdstown march, they were in the area where the seeds of the civil war are being planted. they had to be affected by this atmosphere. the john brown raid is what the most unofficial start, but it did not affect every aspect of their lives. early photography at gettysburg, i found a family from central pennsylvania. he was nice enough to lend me letters leslie had written to his sister. other than the fact that your hands tremble, these were under makeable -- on the remarkable letters. it was a man writing to his sister, about two turns 21, living in martinsburg at the time, visiting his friends. celebrate your 21st birthday -- you do now. he also said he would go west to seek his fortune. book,f the letter in the hi

robert e. lee in the great invasion of that summer. here is the roster -- wesley culp, robert hoffman, these guys joined the same militia unit. frank kaufman was in the artillery, the 38th virginia light artillery. and the youngest of the guys was in the mountain rangers. thinking of how surreal this must've been, there were northerners who fought for the south and southerners who fought for the north. these guys were foreign invaders coming back to their hometown. i want to get into that mindset. the other thing that struck me as i researched this is there is no evidence that robert e. lee or any of his senior commanders had no idea they had five gettysburg men in their army. it is an astonishing lack of communication. it was commonplace and the confederate army when they were on campaign near richmond or fredericksburg, and there was a local man in the ranks, to temporarily pull him out of the ranks and make them a scout or guide. it makes sense. stonewall jackson did that at chancellorsville. th

robert e. lee or any of his senior commanders had no idea they had five gettysburg men in their army. it is an astonishing lack of communication. and theommonplace confederate army when they were on campaign near richmond or fredericksburg, and there was a local man in the ranks, to temporarily pull him out of the ranks and make them a scout or guide. it makes sense. stonewall jackson did that at chancellorsville. hog path, knew every but none of the senior commanders knew about it. there were at least two occasions where the confederates got lost or stuck in the terrain. robert e lee sent joseph johnson terrain.the johnson comes back several hours later reporting they scale the peak of little round top and sought no union troops. years later we know he cannot of scale little round top and seen that because union troops were all over the place. one historian broke it was teeming with federal troops. they would have seen him. robert e lee based his battle plan on faulty intelligence. later that afte

grant defended robert e. lee and said you need to realize the spiritual leader of the south and the way we treat robert e. lee will be the way that we hoped he would respond. in the first monuments they were both in cemeteries as the greatest of the century wives and daughters wanted to put into the cemetery is the man that had been imported. it's raised in the cities and these often were we want to tell you who is in charge. this is jim crow so this is two different things. i think some of these deserve now to be put into museums and not on the streets. but it is a very complicated issue and we have to remember about historical reason that this came into being. i wish we did have a monument. he became a follower of grant and republican advocate of reconstruction. we have very selective use of the monuments. >> i heard a very disturbing story at west point was without one or two. i wonder how that worked when he was the father of this young m man. at the end of his life he writes to julia he will finish the memoi

but many of those people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of robert e. lee. his week it's robert e. lee. i notice that stonewall jackson's coming down. i wonder is it george washington next week, and is it thomas jefferson the week after? you really have to ask yourself where does it stop? but they were there to protest -- excuse me. you take a look. the night before, they were there to protest the taking down of the statue of robert e. lee. >> neo-nazis started these things. they showed up in charlottesville. >> you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. you had people in that group -- excuse me. excuse me. i saw the same pictures as you did. you had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from robert e. lee to another name. you had many people in that group other than neo-nazis and white nationalists, okay? and the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. >> you're saying the press has treated whi

then, many more came down after white supremacists used the pro posed removal of a robert e. lee statue in charlottesville, virginia, as pretext for a rally last month that shocked the nation. >> we're having once again, for whatever it is, the 17th time, a major racial reckoning in and we don't know exactly where this one is going. >> according to yale university civil war historian, david blight, most early confederate monuments were part of an effort to recast the secessionist cause as a noble one and to re-establish white dominance over freed blacks. the first major monument was to stonewall jackson. unveiled in richmond, virginia, in 175. >> it was a big coming out. the first time confederate flags were used on any scale. blacks were only allowed to participate in this at the very back of line. clear. >> were's back in the union, white virginians were saying. we are lil' again and patriotic to the united states, but we are going to show you who our heroes are. >> even so, blight doesn't support the wholesale removal of confederate monuments. i want to make it clear. i am for

put the gold on the train, robert e. lee got on the train and all the top confederates left the sity. and as they were leaving, they set as many important documents and artifacts on fire as they could. the fires started here along the river. and the fire started tuo move u. all this black area is area that was eventually learned. the united states went in trying to put out the blaze. they did not want the capitol burnt, the capitol thomas jefferson had help construct. they did not want the federal capitol destroyed. these exceptions follow hard upon orders that have been given. in the spring of 1864 lincoln had issued general orders 100. this is known commonly today as levers code. it was compiled by a german immigrant to the united states, francis lebber. he left the south with secession. well, lebbers considered a lot of different things about the laws of war. among these things is prohibitions against purposely destroying any kind of art, classical buildings. i think the words are possible works of art, library, scientifi

tarps are once again covering the confederate tat yews of robert he lee and stonewall jackson. someone removed the coverings friday night. this is now the third time the tarps have been damaged or removed. that decision came in the aftermath of the deadly rally last month where protestors demanded the city keep the statues in place. meanwhile the university of virginia says it will remove confederate plagues from its row turned a. the move comes following a list of demands from a diverse list of students, among the demends more african-american. the college' bothered voted on friday to re move the plagues which have been there since 1903. the scho them in another location. the life and legacy of civil rights act vises and comedian dick gregory was honored in d.c. today. a tribute parade went from howard theatre to ben's chilly bowel in northwest. gregory passed away last month at the age of 84. such a de

as early as the -- that robert e. lee died in 1870, in october of 1870, and frederick douglass of robert e.uaries lee, and it seemed to him that the loyal citizenry had already forgotten that there was a right and wrong side to the war. the union cause certainly believed there was a right and wrong side. the union cause is the right side. the rebels were traitors, and that's why we call it the war of the rebellion. and so there's a right and wrong side there. there's a right and a wrong side here. but douglas thought a sense of that was slipping away especially in democratic newspapers in the north, which had really quite gentle, even appreciative obituaries. he wrote after lee's death, he was sick and tired of the rebel sheath. we can scarcely take up a newspaper that is not filled with nauseating flatteries of the late robert e. lee. that is douglass in 1870, already looking down the road and anticipating that maybe the emancipation part of this equation was going to be eroding much more quickly than it should. those wh

seriousness of that. >> do you think he's such a student of history that he has an affinity for robert e. lee's mentioned robert e. lee many times. as you mentioned as a tough general, he's mentioned this before. and i told you, we mentioned on the show another time, that he had given the first part of his presidential salary to the battle of antietam in maryland, the bloodiest day in the civil war battle, he gave his salary to the restoration of that in maryland. so there is something with him and generals and war that he seems to have an affinity for. he may not know the details or why, but there is something in him, because he's always talking about them, and i think that's what the attraction is. >> the other thing is to play to some of his supporters -- >> it could be, too. those same people are very upset with him because of his position on daca. breitbart called him amnesty don. maybe that could have been read meat for them to say -- >> that was my other point. could they have been bringing up in any way to move from the daca thing? >> i think it was probably just an issue that was on

the first of course being the erection of the monument to robert e. lee. immediately after his death, a group of people started -- a group of women in particular and ultimately the lead memorial association gathered to talk about not only where should the monument go and in richmond for them was absolutely it had to be richmond, but they started talking about how they wanted to remember him, this honored figure. now, if we back up just a little bit, i think it's important to also understand that as the war is raging, a certain memorialization is happening during the course of the war regarding the dead. first, we have the establishment on the federal side. we have the establishment of national cemeteries in order to bury these tens of thousands of men who were losing their lives on the battlefield. and the confederate states of america did not have a similar system. unfortunately, what that meant is that too often many of its dead had to languish in the field until someone could retrieve their bodies, or they lay in shallow graves. and there was outrage ar
