sherman won't hear of it. the two men are anxious to get back to headquarters and sherman is sure his men will be burning over the news of lincoln's assassination and the fate of raleigh is in jeopardy. while johnston is eager to get back to the hills borough where alexander made his headquarters at the dixon house he immediate immediately summons secretary of war breckenridge and general reagan. he will need authorization for this surrender. he knows breckenridge has davis' ear. once the men arrive at the dixon house around midnight april the 18th, they begin to discuss the terms. then postmaster general reagan offers to write out the terms. as he's scrubling away, johnston announces it's time to return for the second day of negotiations. reagan says he'll send the terms forward just as soon as they're ready. sherman and johnston reached the ben interpret place around noon april the 18th. johnston promptly tells sherman he has official authorization for this all encompassing surrender and would like to bring

sherman was coming. and sheridan was about to advantage wish the last remaining resistance of the shenandoah valley. lee could count on only two railroads for supplies, and southern ports were all but closed to the outside world. yet lee was able to keep his army together as rowland wrote an enduring tribute to his leadership. the threat to his southern flank presented by sherman prompted lee in january to send joseph kershaw's infantry brigade under james connor wade hampton's cavalry division under butler, and hampton himself, chief of his cavalry, to south carolina to bolster the forces confronting sherman. demonstrating contrary to one of the typical criticisms of lee that he was not so virginia centric to neglect the other regions, even before his ascension to general in chief. lee successfully countered the offensive at the battle of hatcher's run. realizing that partial or possibly complete evacuation of richmond and petersburg might be necessary. lee began to prepare for just that contingency by

sherman's own brother was a politician, senator john sherman, a successful one. he did try to get the republican nomination for president. there was a sense i think there was an element of tension between sherman and grant because of that, that sherman may have thought grant made some mistakes in becoming president. and also particularly in the western policy, the indian policy, i think sherman was much more sympathetic to sheridan's ideas of trouncing these people, exterminating the indians if necessary. grant, much more sympathetic to the indians trying to protect them. grant early on said the problem in the west is encroachment by white settlers and what we need to do is to somehow work out the relationship between the newcomers to the region and the longtime occupants. sherman was more sympathetic towards sheridan's approach of warfare to deal with the problem in the west. i think there were some questions about how much independence grant let sherman have as general in chief. i think they had a little difficulty working out that relationship as to what sherm

sherman and johnston will meet again at the bennett farm. sherman is instructed to offer the identical terms that grant gave lee at appomattox. the con fedsfederates will have to turn over their military equipment. they will get parole passes and they will be free to go. that news will filter down to the common soldiers at camps. unlike the men and women who with harassed for weeks time, fighting a final battle up to the last minute, the men of the tennessee had a very different more frustrating experience because all this uncertainty waiting, long periods of time this they get conflicting information. the war is off then it's on and off again. what we have over several days in mid-april is mass desertion. several thousands of men will desert the army of tennessee. they're taking their weapons with them. we're going to have armied men roaming the country side of north carolina. it's very chaotic and dangerous. here's the interior of the bennett farm. the house is also a reconstruction. the original house burned down in the 20th century. acci

he did not like it, but that is sherman. he went back and offered general johnson and other surrender option which he had no choice to accept. host: generally, now that your role in the war is over, how much do you know of the subsequent surrenders in north carolina and texas? guest: not very much. i was trying to follow the information but i was in seclusion in richmond with my family. what information i did receive was various letters and they were telling me what has happened. in virginia, and particular, the lines of communication were destroyed. information about general johnson was slow in reaching man and by the time it got to me general grant had already taken care of that. i was not even aware of that. host: step out of character for a moment and as we look back 100 50 years, what is the lesson today for people here at appomattox? what is the lesson to be learned from 150 years ago? guest: i think the lesson we should take away from this is no matter what the issue or topic cooler heads must ultimately prevail. we m

professor gallagher: with a big assist from grant and sherman. [laughter] professor varon: let me just follow up with that, lincoln and the press, how much did the handling of the press, how big that loom in his leadership? mr. holzer: it is a huge advantage for him that he was so adept at getting republican editors -- and he chiefly dealt with republican editors, and he understood that democratic journals would attack him, north and certainly south, certainly in the north throughout the war. but he reached out to them, he befriended them, rewarded them with patronage jobs along the way. this is not a new thing, but lincoln certainly followed in the tradition. establish from the early days of the century on of making newspapermen diplomats postmasters, port officers, indian agents -- whatever jobs were available to supplement their income and winning their continued loyalty that way. he also gave them what we today would call them scoops. helped them reach their audiences overnight and did not shut down newspapers that were obliging -- remember t

and the sherman act had ended the era of the big trusts. market and the people had delivered the same message. free enterprise depended on competition for resources like oil and for consumers' dollars. monopoly power over production and prices couldn't be tolerated. economic analyst richard gill explains why monopolies like standard almost always result in low production, high prices and high profits. the complaints against standard are based on the central economic critique of monopolies. they keep output too low and their prices and profits are too high. when rockefeller went into the oil industry in the 1860s, it was competitive. thousands of competing firms each of which was too small to affect the price of its product -- oil. they were price-takers as economists called them. meaning that their price was set in the market by supply and demand. if the economy-wide demand curve for oil looked like this and the supply curve looked like this then price would end up at this level -- $9.50 a barrel and output would be here say, 2 million barr

someone called richard sherman a thug.richard sherman graduated second in his class at compton high skoochl he graduated from standford. he didn't attend. he graduated from standford. now just because-- just because he wears dreads and sometimes he talks-- he is the furthest thing from a thug. >> larry: people need to know the difference between thug and thug-like. >> however, there are-- there are some guys who have athletic ability who are thugs. >> thugs aren't action thug thugs aren't necessarily a person. no nobody calls those kids rioting thugs. >> they are celebrating they are very joyful. >> exactly. >> but there is a difference. i remember when the indiana thing happened when ron artest and the big fighting people were calling them thugs. how can they fight every single night. they are never called thugs. >> come on bob what is up with that? >> are sportscasts to blame for these riots certificate seriously. >> i will give a semi serious answer. i think sportscasters have become better over the last generation in r

sherman -- you can't quite make it out here, but sherman had an awkwardness to him. do you see how he is sitting in this chair? he can't go back further. he can't quite unwind. but yeah, sherman played a very active role. there are other delegates i could show. let me get a point up here i could talk about later, but not first. so, representation. the great compromise essentially the decision to give states and equal vote in the senate. was that a great comp are mice to be admired or not? the next side of the compromise, of course, is the 3/5 clause and the allocation of direct taxes among the states on the basis of the population, where slaves counted as 1/6 of a free person. everybody knows what is meant by that phrase. ok? if you go back to that letter from edison to washington, madison discusses his strategy for dealing with the representation question. it does identify a theoretic aspect of his thinking. madison says -- here is how we fix the politics of this issue. he thinks the northern states will favor the idea of proportional representation because they hap

as sherman marched through georgia, most of us are familiar with sherman's special field order 15, which, after seeing the conditions of the recently free proclamation, since these -- population, he felt that since these human beings had tilled the soil, very legitimately deserved ownership of the land they had lived on for generations. so, special order 15 generated the concept of 40 acres and a mule. as you know, after president lincoln was assassinated and a -- sorry. [laughter] president andrew johnson basically a lot of these initiatives were overturned by andrew johnson. he rescinded special order number 15. and since 40 acres and a mule was no longer a promise, that was a severe disappointment to many of these recently freed african-americans, because they felt they deserved to the land -- they felt they deserved the land but they had to move on. , as they moved into the position of wage laborers, many of them have no experience with any type of financial institution or handling money at all. john w alfred took up where special order 15 left off. there had already been some prior

under wenty tydy sherman, it failed. >> how would you assess his negotiations in terms of iran? >> he claims to have -- in the case, he talks about the iran reactor, about having no weapons grade plutonium. on that point, as a guy that represented the south side of chicago where nuclear power was invented i'd say it is all weapons grade. >> does the report that russia is going to -- >> it was a stab in the back. by selling the s300 to iran means that we have a substantial air defense issue against the s300. that israel and the united states will have to really take that into account. >> as it relates to the negotiations? >> i would say the bush administration did manage to halt that transfer of technology quite well. the russians knew just how bad it would be to turn. you see major portions of the negotiation, where they were relying on the russians to take custody of some of the missile material. now, the russians are selling the s300 back. any solution that involves trust with the russians does not appear to be valid at all. >> what was kerry's pitch, as far as congressional r

that's go to north carolina and join up with sherman and accompany him and his army here to virginia as well. so on march 29th the calgary sets into motion. union infantry is screening that motion and fighting their first engagement since hatcher's run on the western side of petersburg around the lewis farm area. they will assault there and then two days later they will pin the confederates and their works around richmond at the battle of white oak road. at the same time that union calgary eneredcountered what lee mustered adds the strike force to stop them with the division of george picket and one would ask, well gorby haven't heard that name since gettysburg. it's probably been two years since you heard this auditorium talk about george picket. that's because george picket's division is decimated at gettysburg. many of those men captured as prisoners of war have been lounging in all the resorts the federal army set up for them. but in the spring of 186 a, those men have been sent back to the army. they've been exchanged back into service. and so now one of the largest divisions th

there you see roger sherman another name we heard this morning. we have given some of the leading figures whose voices were raised most frequently. if you know about the people you need to know what they were debating. most people would imagine when he talked about rights, they were talking about noble sentiments like free speech, freedom of worship. and they did. but really there were other practical concerns they had. what we focused on is how we make those accessible to the user. we identified five of them such as -- should the constitution be amended? for each of these five we did the same treatment. we took a leading federalist voice from the records of the house debate and a leading anti-federalist voice so you get the position and their own words of what they thought on these issues. now you have learned about the people. you have got the sense of the issues. now you should go in and take a close look at the senate markup. the magic of studying something like the markup on a handheld device is intimacy it enables. you get close to the debat

alix: alex sherman joining me. what is your take on this news that comcast could drop time warner cable? >> we are lucky to have the story first, and of our reporting is accurate, comcast made the decision of this point they will pull the plug on this deal. apparently they may be having a board meeting later today. a decision has artie been made at this stage. if you have been following the coverage starting from last night, it may not be a surprise with the fcc recommended this gets hit -- gets hit to a hearing. the company spending the time and money to fight this thing and the doj leaning to soothe this deal, it may have been too much. there is no breakup fee. when comcast signed the deal way back in february 2014 a green to do this, they knew there was a chance regulators would not take too kindly to a deal that consolidate so much power so much broadband capacity, plus nbc universal is owned by comcast. we thought for a little while the deal would go through because comcast and time warner cable do not compete

if they encounter resistance there, they can do what sherman -- or what sheridan, who is in charge of the union cavalry, had hoped to do all along, go to north carolina, join up with sherman, and accompany him and his army here to virginia as well. so, on march 29, the calvary sets into motion. at the same time union infantry is screening that motion and fighting their first engagement since hatcher's run on the western side of petersburg around the lewis farm area. the union fifth corps will assault there, and two days later they will pin the confederates in their work around richmond. at the same time, the union cavalry has encountered what lee has mustered as his strikeforce to stop them with the division of george pickett. one would ask, i have not heard that name since gettysburg. it has been two years since you have heard someone in this auditorium talk about george pickett, and that is because his division is decimated at gettysburg. many of the men captured at gettysburg as prisoners of war have been lounging at the federal resorts set up for them, but by the spring of 1865, t

i'm joined by phil torres, host of "techknow" and doug gurian sherman. are bees particularly vulnerable because they live in intimate little groups of 40 or 50,000 individuals? >> yes, i think that definitely contributes to it. if one bee is out there he's bringing it home to the rest of it. but it goes beyond a single hive. one of the issues is bees are being shipped across the united states to pollenate, could have a might mite or infection, it's not in the hive it's in the pollennation enpollennation grown udz. the deceases or possiblen could spread. >> i want to put this in its proper context. how much we should worry about this, whether it is a potential calamity, how much circulate we worry about the potential of the honey bee in the united states? >> it's critically important. as you indicated a third or more of our food depends on bees or other pollenators. , very types of foods that are threatened by decline of pollenators. not just honey bees. wild beads are important in pollenating our foods. billions of dollars to our agriculture economy. tho
