in richmond, when the robert e. leestatue went up, the editor of the local black newspaper who was on the city council said this is a monument to treason. it's not as if people didn't think this all along, it's now that there's empowerment where they can say this in the public sphere. so i think that it is not an accident that we're doing it now because we live in a time where people are thinking about, you know, what does it mean to memorialize certain parts of the american past. you know, that's why i place the constitution center -- why a place like the constitution center is so essential. not only to put up a monument to the founders and say, well, that was great, thanks a lot, but actually to talk about all the challenges that we still have every day. i see them as directly analogous. i would hope that we will find that we need a richer vocabulary to talk about all these things, that we'll think about new ways to connect with the past, that we'll recognize with all the means at our command that we don't just have t

lee. did robert e. lee say stuff like that. if he did would you write that? it sounded so unlikely. so the guy from west virginia with a lot of time, and thank god for google, i started googling and i came up with hundreds of books -- civil war books that say he is all lion, no fox. none of them were before 1928. none of them. all of them were fairly recent books. the first mention of anything about foxes and lions and hoods stephen vincent binet's ethic: -- epic poem, john brown's body. he is talking about robert e. lee's lieutenants. talking about these wonderful marvelous, excellent group of subordinates that he had. he writes a couple of verses on longstreet and on stewart. a.p. hill maybe, and jackson. anyway this is what he writes. this is the poet, not robert e. lee. he basically says hood was shock troops. he mentions all lion, none of the fox. and i poem in 1928 there was actually the author feeling lee would be praising john bell hood. it is turned into an insult that lee supposedly set about hood. a criticism, if you will. that is another one that if you read about hood,

i think lincoln would have been invery shaky ground arresting robert e. lee windley resigned his army commission. arresting robert e. lee when he resigned his army commission. frank: one more comment from each before we hear from our administrator. stephen, you have one sentence. are we still on topic? we need to think of the american civil war in the context of a whole. it is hard to divide politics and military. politics byust another means. the nature of how this plays out, his hand is visible in everything. i think the evolution of how we think -- how we think about the evolution of this war is so important and how we remember it. about not to always think how to divorce politics and military but to think of them together at the national and the state level. from the ground up point of view. that is very instructive and how we see the relationships formed. frank: thank you. jonathan? jonathan: i thought of the wisconsin address that lincoln gave in 1859 when i was asked to be on this panel. lincoln and about his talk about friendship and --mies, i cannot

so arthur ash, you got jeff stewart, stone wall jackson, robert e. lee. >> okay. so there has been maybe a little bit of controversy about some of the statues here. what are the feelings in the city about the statues? >> i think folks recognize this is a part of our history, a terrible history it may be but it's a part of our history. as i have always said, what i share any tears if the jefferson davis statue were torn down? no, i wouldn't. but i think the past, that being terrible or not shouldn't be a -- our anchor. it should be a foundation from which it was built from. >> why do you think the history is important? >> not repeating history. right now these statues have no context. it's just statues honoring and memorializing these figures and i think the key is to tell the whole story. i think richmond can be the center of all things reconciliation. yes, we do have a terrible past. but it's time to actually start writing that new chapter and we have to begin with that conversation about reconciliation fist. >> and what's the narrative you would like the achieve

my question is, robert e. lee made the decision to go with virginia.lincoln knew how important lee was. what would have happened if lincoln had said, you are under house arrest, you just committed treason? lee would never have gotten to the top. -- to the south. frank: was not going to happen. anyone want to comment on that? even though lincoln thought lee was a traitor. >> they offered him the army of the potomac. catherine: mercy was something he always thought about. redemption. when his favorite brother-in-law was going to join the confederacy, lincoln had a vision of reunion. he said there could not be a secession, a separation. taking the position you cannot dissolve it, that was his decision, just like his mercy against soldiers who fell asleep. each of us comes to saying what we think might have been the reason. the actual legal interpretation, perhaps it is shrewdness. >> the moment -- we think of the civil war as having been declared, the firing on fort sumter. lincoln did not go to congress and ask for a declaration of war. i think lincoln w

so, you got arthur ash, jeb stewart, stonewall jackson, robert e. lee. >> okay. so there has been maybe a little bit of crory about some of the statues here. what are the feelings in the city about the statues on monument avenue? >> i think folks recognize that this is a part of our history, a terrible history it may be, a horrible history it may be, but it's a part of our history. as i have always said, what i shed any tears at the jefferson davis statue would be torn down snn no, i wouldn't. but i think the history of the past of the richmond, that being -- it being terrible or not, shouldn't be our anchor, it should be a foundation for us to build from. >> why do you think that knowing the history here is important to be what's happening in the present? >> my whole thing is about not repeating the history. providing a little context i think is what's key. right now these statues have no context, it's just statues honoring and memorializing these figures. i think the key is to tell the whole story. think richmond can be the center of all things reconciliation.

fun fact, in mississippi and alabama, it's also robert e. lee day. look, even if you like robert e. martin luther king day, too? oh! we didn't know-- look, we've already printed the calendars, and we totally knew." ( laughter ) it's also day four of (bleep) hole-gate. ( cheers and applause ) i'm confident to my core that will be bleeped because cbs has higher standards than the president. ( laughter ) trump got in hot water last week after an immigration meeting, during which he used that phrase to describe haiti and african countries, according to democratic senator dick durbin. really? i'm allowed to say "dick durbin?" ( laughter ) that's surprising. trump said it on thursday, and not only did the white house not immediately deny it, trump reportedly was calling friends to brag about it. ( laughter ) he's like a toddler calling his mom to the potty. "come look at the load i dropped on the national discourse." ( piano riff ) ( applause ) yeah! ( cheers and applause ) thank you, yeah. big boy. but the next morning, after getting a poop load of criticism, trump denied it, tweeting, "

my question now is -- one specific question, robert e. lee made the decision to go with virginia. lincoln knew how important lee was. what would have happened if lincoln had said, you're under house arrest, you just committed treason? so lee would never have gotten to the south. >> wasn't going to happen at that time. anyone want to comment on that? even though lincoln thought lee was a traitor, and he said this often -- >> and he had already offered him the army of the potomac. >> someone want to comment on that. >> wasn't mercy always something that he thought about, reunion, redemption. so when his -- his favorite brother-in-law ben helm was, you know, going to join the confederacy, i think lincoln always had a vision of reunion. i mean he -- first of all, he said there couldn't be a secession, there couldn't be a separation. so by keeping in mind that the union was forever and taking that position you can't dissolve it, i think that was -- that was his position, just like his mercy against soldiers who fell asleep. so in other words each of us comes to saying what we think mig

they serve >> robert e. lee was considered great in his own era. >> by whom? >> yes, by whom?> by the government of the united states of america. >> he was considered a traitor. he was considered great by those who were in his circle. >> how would you feel if you were a blackman or a black woman. you talk about generations of enslavement and brutization. how would you feel? >> i don't think that as a white person i will ever completely understand how a black person feels. >> one way to understand, of course, is just to listen. >> can you empathize with him as a white man how he would feel to see those statues shrouded? >> i would say -- >> is it okay for white guys to be proud? >> i can't know what it's in his heart or head. >> they are statues to honor great american soldiers. >> i wouldn't feel that same pride as i would for, you know my grandfather who fought in world war ii. >> how do you feel about that sign that says hell or highway? >> a mother's child is gone. a community member is gone. >> there were a number of people, including the president of the university, who s

. >> my name is robert lee. i'm the owner of 1003 kansas street. i have been living there 49 years. knew pretty much every neighbor that lived on that block from the time i was there to the time they've gone. new neighbors come in. i don't have an issue with the wall being built. but the question is, we want the neighbors are saying we want to be more informed on what's going to happen, more detailed information on what's going on with the wall, how it's going to be placed, cost-wise. even though we're not being -- we're not paying the cost for it, but we would just like to know some of the more details. i guess the wall is maybe about eight to nine feet tall. from my understanding, it's going to be raised up to maybe 11, 12 feet tall. i'd just kind of like to know the purpose of that. just the extension of it, does it need to be that tall? just stuff answered. but i don't have an issue with them working. we talked many times. we gave them permission to come onto the properties and do what they have to do. we're just trying to work with everybody to get the problem solved, you know,

operation into which the confederacy poured a great deal of money quarterbacked by jefferson davis via robert e lee. do you think that operation, as efficient as it was, intended to kill andrew johnson, that he would have survived? prof. reed: i talked a little bit about this in the book. i don't know. it's too far off. i don't know enough about that to make a claim about the notion that -- the suggestion was that johnson may have been in on this and he was targeted, but really not targeted. i don't know. >> johnson was being impeached or convicted i one vote. they tried to convict him, as i understand it, because they pass that law saying the senate could have a say in who his cabinet was. wasn't that considered unconstitutional? prof. reed: later it was. it took a while. >> but it didn't have to do anything with his acquittal? prof. reed: no. >> thank you. prof. reed: only in the sense that people thought it was a bad idea later on. >> i'm not sure i want to say this -- prof. reed: oh, go ahead. >> yet. i want to respond to the united states colored troops. i am a reenactor. i had relatives who f

the grave site of douglas freeman, a writer and won the pulitzer prize for his biographies of robert e. lee and george washington and wrote a book called lee's lieutenant, about millimeter tactics and strategies, and was also a military advisor to general eisenhower and president roosevelt. douglas southhall freeman was an editor over 30 years and radio minister and gave daily broadcasts each day. it's very modest with just his name and his dates and a small inscription. a very mod des stone for a giant literary figure. he's buried next to his wife, inez. we're hearing some of the maintenance going on in hollywood. winter is a time all of the trees are maintained. they're doing a little bit of maintenance on the trees. that's the noise we're hearing in the background. the artwork is cast iron, stone and stained glass. this is one of the most popular monuments, a cast iron dog cast by taylor bartlett. it was placed here in 1865 to prevent its confiscation by the federal government and sent down and melted down into cannon and bullets. during the civil war the confederate government confiscat

i am of one mind if they are offended and have trouble explaining why robert e. lee is in the central square and get into fights to keep slavery, i understand that. should there be a confederate museum? yes. do i appreciate the need to make history again as a country and do what clinton wanted to do and make sure there is no revenge. you've got amnesty so that was important. if we go back and start destroying this dancing on their graves and wiping out their history, we never would have come together as a country having recognized that if you want to revisit i get it but if you want to revisit columbus, jefferson, washington, we heard about lincoln lately. he made one anti-semitic remarks which he apologized for his entire life. if you have to be perfect all we will have is pedestals. get here behind the microphone and i am in maryland and the statute states. i am in virginia and washington stays not because he's perfect but if you don't want that, let somebody else becaus because i n the power of that's going to happen. you see wants to take the statute down and tha

longstreet in july 1863, here at gettysburg, in the army of northern virginia, commanded by general robert e. lee. >> general lee was looking for a great victory on union soil. >> but the federal army holds the high ground. after two days of failing to break through, lee orders a controversial attack, an assault on the center of the union line. general pickett's troops are assigned to break through the middle. [ march plays ] so, earl, right now, we're on the confederate side. >> yes. in fact, you're moving pretty much along the ground that pickett's division came across. you'll see how the ground slopes away here, and then you start up a steady slope up to where the trees are. there were union cannon along the whole ridgeline. they're high, they're elevated, they can see what's coming, and they can sweep the ground in front of them. >> they had the edge. >> they had it, and they used it. >> pickett's men advance directly into heavy fire. the union guns mow down the rebels. what did the scene look like after? >> well, this field that you're seeing out here was littered with dead. it was just a sc

why don't you just have robert e. lee charge the line with shiva and ganesh?rder? hang on, honey. shiva and ganesh, the hindu gods, against the entire union army? and orcs. i'll be back. koothrappali: excuse me. ganesh is the remover of obstacles and shiva is the destroyer. when the smoke clears, abraham lincoln will be speaking hindi and drinking mint juleps. all right, my boss says you have to either order or leave and never come back.

in any event, lincoln's advance on the peninsula is delayed, and eventually robert e. lee takes command. it is a bold movement against mcclellan. you have the 7 days. and mcclellan issues his famous blast against the lincoln administration, the government failing, utterly failing to support him. and a great victory for the confederates. and mcclellan at harrison's landing ends of issuing the letter,arrison landing suggesting in typical fashion this is what mcclellan truly believed the war is not a , revolution. it is a war to preserve the union. you have got to protect property. you have got to go slow on a emancipation. and at this point, the radical -- senator saccharide chandler of michigan, the radical republican says that mcclellan is an awful humbug that deserves to be shot. now, mcclellan is eventually withdrawn from the peninsula. we will not get into the controversy about whether he supported pope or not, or whether he and fitzjohn porter undermined hope. pope. that is a long and tedious process. he is brought reluctantly back to command the army of the antietam c

those folks were there to venerate the statue of that honorable man, confederate general robert e. lee, a statue that, like many other confederate memorials, was targeted for removal. it was interesting to be in budapest at the moment when the fight in monuments and statues reached its peak in the u.s. turns out moving statues is -- it turns out moving statues is something the hungarians know all about. when the soviet union collapsed in 1989, all of the soviet era statues around budapest were taken down. but they were not destroyed. they were all moved here to a place called statue park on the outskirts of town. tourists like me could go and see all of the statues, a who's who of the global communist menace. they are statues of karl marx, friedrich engels, various hungarian monuments to the working class, the defeat of the nazis, etc. here's comrade lenin. he looks like a carnival barker in a sideshow. here's a simple obvious lesson for today. it's possible to take down sensitive statues and monuments without erasing history, whether it is the history the statues overtly claim to repr

n october 7, 2017, hate groups returned to charlottesville, virginia, at the statue of robert e. lee, the confederate general chanting, "you will not replace us," after having chanted in their august harlottesville rally that, "jews will not replace us." since this event on october 7, the president has made widely published statements about many issues, including the national football leae, but has not made one widely published statement condemning the hate groups for returning to the place where an innocent person lost her life at the hands of hate. on january 11, 2018, donald john trump held a meeting with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders that focused primarily on legislation that would provide a statutory protected status for individuals brought to the united states without documentation. at this meeting, as has been widely published, donald john trump made references to people h-i-t- -- ds s-h-i--h- ombingeds -- t-h-o-l-e countries. or why we need people from haitians or african countries, proclaiming we should take them out. donald john trump then suggested that norwe
