thanks to the seward house. and i also want to thank my editor at three hills, michael mcginty, who i know played a role in bringing me here and the entire team at cornell university press for seeing us through. but most all, i want to thank you, the audience, for being here. so it's a real pleasure and a real honor to spend the evening with you all. so i want to start two anecdotes, both relating upstate new york in august 98, judith watkins, sister of sara livingston j and sister in law of governor, wrote a letter from the finger region where she had recently relocated. she complained about the difficulties providing her daughter, susan, with a suitably genteel upbringing in, this remote location to chores prevented susan from having sufficient to read. so judith made, a special appeal. i do earnestly and entreat mr. jay that he will be good enough to purchase, quote, a -- girl she knew of interconnect city and sent her westward. judith recognized that she might be putting governor jay in an awkward position,

seward did not respond to it. rose smuggled a copy of this letter out.riends were able to get it in the richmond newspaper, the richmond whig. and the whig had a lot of fun, making jabs at seward and talking about his reaction to this letter. the papers reported on rose, and the fact that she was continuing to get out information, which really made pinkerton even more frustrated. he had the windows of her house boarded up. made sure there was not a scrap of paper, so she would not have anything to write on. and the papers, of course, are reporting on all of this. and here is harper's weekly, january 18th, 1862. they report that -- of course she's been carrying on the secret correspondence with the enemy. and that she was going to be sent to fort lafayette. that is a bit incorrect. instead, rose was sent to old capital prison. here is a photograph of rose with her daughter, there. old capital prison had been her aunt's boarding house. so it is interesting to think about this. that this old capital prison was rose's first home in d. c.. and it becomes her

so ingrid seward . if you kaur. so ingrid seward.oyal family right now , surely you would be looking at the way the sussexes responded to the apology and, thinking, hang on a moment. this probably isn't very good idea. apologising and taking accountability for, doing nothing because actually we're just going to get a whole torrent of back from harry and meghan. anyway nothing satisfies ingnd. meghan. anyway nothing satisfies ingrid . no, they right. nothing ingrid. no, they right. nothing satisfied . but i don't think for satisfied. but i don't think for one moment the royals family have much to grant to compare themselves to jeremy and his kind of apology. but i think they're saying is, was way apologising for forgiving harry and meghan the most wonderful wedding ever experience i think at windsor castle certainly within living memory for giving them money for helping them when they move to california for looking after them for trying to make life really smooth for them and bending their will on every occasion. what are they apologi

so holmes knew william seward and he got an audience at the house. they rushed over to the white house and they found president lincoln, his office. the second story. it's now the lincoln today and president lincoln was in tears. ellsworth was a dear friend of his. he had been his law clerk in springfield. and he had also served as his bodyguard during, his inaugural train ride to washington. and dr. holmes said to him, he said, mr. lincoln, i've come to secure your permission to embalm ellsworth. so his parents might see him. and president replied to me, goes, i do not what embalming is. i cannot grant permission. and through the urging of seward he was able to secure the permission for the embalming of ellsworth. now ellsworth this time was being transported to the washington navy yard via the james gray, another gunboat. and so holmes, he left the white house and he raced back to the coffin. joseph birch's house in georgetown, where he was staying. he grabbed his embalming grip and boarded it on the bus and headed for the washington navy yard. now

so well designed the national flag of alaska was created by 13-year-old benny benson and seward.his creation that was chosen from hundreds of entries in a competition in 1927. benson himself described his choice of the flag as the blue field of the flag. this is the sky of alaska and also the blue forget-me-not is the flower of alaska where are they proud of the blue color forget-me-not here is the forget-me- not and the sky is blue background the north star, which alexander kindly showed us, designates the state of alaska because it is the northernmost in the union, shot down by the union of american states . yes, a actually stands for the big dipper, symbolizing strength, the flag was first raised on july 9, 1927 of the year. during this ceremony, benny was walking for hours with the emblem of the flag and an educational scholarship of 1,000 dollars then in the twenty- seventh year. it was really big money. we will know. this is also some kind of flag, yes, think of it. well, according to the results of this round, the amount in our bank has not changed, there is still 220,000

joining me now is royal commentator and biographer seward biographer ingrid seward and entertainmentecca, it's great to have the show. have you both on the show. there's a lot of there's been a lot of revelations since we first wrote that little intro , including that little intro, including drug including many drug use, including how many members the taliban may or members of the taliban may or may not have killed ingrid. i will start you. this looks will start with you. this looks like turner . it certainly like a page turner. it certainly does.i like a page turner. it certainly does. i really didn't think that harry say half the things he allegedly has said . well, he allegedly has said. well, he obviously has said because people have seen the book . i'm people have seen the book. i'm quite surprised that he should be so open. but of course he won't talk about his in the army it was very important to him and obviously he talk about mother . obviously he talk about mother. as for the row with william. well that was the first story that came out. but i don't think harry would be fre

bonafidees with eastern republicans many of whom were hostile to the republican front runner william seward and were therefore anxious to have a look at this increasingly attractive alternative from, illinois. lincoln steam at the cooper institute was the relationship between slavery and the constitution in both specific policy terms and ultimately in broad legal terms. the policy question was straightforward. does the constitution empower the federal government to ban slavery from the territories? yes, lincoln answered. that is what the constitution allows and that is what the framers clearly intended. by lincoln's count 23 of the delegates to the constitutional convention also voted in congress on various measures to ban slavery from the territories and of those 23 21 supported the ban. so the framers themselves endorsed banning slavery from the territories. but then lincoln shifted to the most important constitutional issue at stake. southerners were wrong to demand aggressive federal protections for slavery lincoln said for when you make such demands is a long quote you have a specific

seward did spoke in of the curtain and compromise was not a big sumpter haul, to say the least.nd so there things could have gone differently at any point. the one thing that lincoln stood by was that slavery could not expand. and then when the when the crisis came, he never gave in on emancipation and he didn't in. he even as president elect, there are little we businessmen meeting at the willard and others who wanted him to compromise and he was the first president to stand firm and say no principle. the willard businessmen were saying, even though it's in the we, let's support it. and he said, i think that to me is is the crux of. lincoln, let me ask you also now is it flows from this, but colonization. yeah. and his thoughts on this, i guess, come to a moment that trying to be in his shoes and a 19th century man i too would have been fearful that the races could actually live peacefully together and that perhaps it would be better to separate. i don't see colonization in his mind as wholly racist because once he understood that blacks freedmen wished to stay in the country,

seward was a meddling officious little puppy. now he's writing these things to his wife in private. but believe me, you know, when someone feels certain way about you, you can pick that up. and people have that up about mcclelland. but lincoln looks past this and he places mcclellan as the best man and he's got the commanding army that's going to take the field against robert lee who has invaded. now, what's his mission? protect washington, d.c. do let them get the capitol. he also has to protect baltimore, determine there is a confederate army, south of the potomac. yes, we know that some confederates have invaded maryland, but there are all types of rumors that there is a big confederate force still in northern virginia. you have to determine that as well. third, drive the confederates out of maryland and lincoln has fourth thing that he needs mcclellan to do give him a victory so he can issue is emancipation. now, this is one of the great ironies of the maryland campaign. we need a general who doesn't believe in an emancipation proclamation to win the victory, to deliver it. that

ingrid seward and nina are going to duke it out on the clash at 920. and harry's .nd harry's. angela levin has the latest on prince william's fears that his treacherous brother could over the occasion with a netflix worthy stop. she's live at 20. also coming up, social media erupted this weekend over this x—rated sam smith video. and this morning, richard madeley was publicly shamed into a pronoun . in a shot of was publicly shamed into a pronoun. in a shot of him. sam they. yes. sorry but was forcing that on air may culpa really necessary that's how big debate in the media buzz at 1030 as it's revealed that the army's information warfare unit was used spy on lockdown. critics dystopian government, truth and units harmful to democracy neil oliver is going to unleash what is a chilling example of state overreach at 950 after being and ultimately sidelined australia's authoritarian covid mob is djokovic his record win down under the ultimate england football legend matt le tissier cancelled on that at 1045 one up tomorrow's newspapers on the ground the greatest person

so then i found out about these other characters seward and chase and bates and meant that it was quadruple biography. and you could write a biography about each one of them. no wonder books get so fat. i was going write about teddy and taft because i was so interested in their relationship and they had letters. it's always letters that i want because they you feel like you're looking over the handwriting. somebody is writing henry, looking over their shoulders and you hear what they're feeling, not just about the other person writing to about it, their wives or their children and diaries. i love and you can have those in the olden days. so all of that stuff is in this material. but then i turned out with teddy and taft. i also wrote about the muckrakers. so again it became a quadruple biography so that people will be able to see how your mind goes in different directions and you have thousands time, more research than even my fat books can can carry. and so i think they'll be able to watch the evolution, just as you're saying. you can watch the evolution a speech. you can watch the evoluti
