anyone who critiques -- criticizes sherman as a brute and people do, what sherman was sherman was a master of total war. there are quotes in the book but something happened early on in the vicksburg campaign. townsfolk, the mayor comes out to meet sherman. please, we are not involved in the war. we do not support the confederacy. please do not burn our town. sherman writes them a letter. we have the letter. he says, all you know, if all you know of the war is the occasional dead son that comes home, you have no incentive to make the war stop. the only way you, the civilians will make the war stop, the only way the civilians will make the war stop is if they feel the pain. and so, not indiscriminate pain, but what he does, you shoot at me from your house, i am going to burn your house. periodically, confederate cavalry will get in the courthouse of a small town, have a skirmish with the first union troops to arrive. sherman comes in, find out where the confederates were, in the courthouse, and burns the courthouse. he makes it plain -- anyone shoots at me, i will bring down the fires of hel

people questioned the propriety of sherman calling grant "grant" and grant calling sherman "sherman." it is in their memoirs, both of them. they refer to each other by their last name. i love that. it is almost a term of endearment. that is a legitimate friendship and it is a lot of fun to write about that can -- especially when you look at the feuding and destructive relationships in the confederacy that could certainly have contributed to the downfall of the confederate army. so many people cannot get along. what was the effect of that? yes. >> and doing a fictional account of historical fact, are you tempted to cross the line of fact in order to enhance the fiction? shaara: i understand your question very well. in writing historical fiction with accurate historical fact, and i ever attempted -- tempted to cross the line and play games with history? the answer is a resounding no. a novelist, a person who writes novels, they can do anything they want. i mentioned how frequently hairy turtledoves. he writes alternative future -- fiction. on the cover of a book is a picture of robert e

about sherman.oldiers civilians, whites and blacks a lot of different things going on. also rising to the reader's vision and falling away. some of the major characters do not survive this march. charlie: have you changed in the way you approach writing? do you do it differently than you did when you have reached your full flight today? e.l.: when i was young, i knew a lot about writing. now i don't know anything about it, i just do it. charlie: you know nothing about it meaning what? e.l.: whatever knowledge i have has been absorbed to such a degree that i'm not even aware of lying it -- of applying it. charlie: in other books, do you go to the ending first? do you want to find out where it's going? e.l.: it's always an active discovery. when i write, i'm finding things out just as the reader does at any given point. the process some of the feeling you have this discovering, not feeling possessive or calculating. it discovering things. to answer your previous question, someone like sherman comes ou

certainly sherman and members of his army demonstrated this. their attitudes about african-americans as people change because of the march. sherman is mostly a man of his times. i will not regard them as fundamentally different. he says the more. worse than you hear from other people. i do think that within his army there is a growing respect and appreciation for african-americans as human beings which is essential to them thinking of the postwar world. many of its soldiers from the western states had very little interaction with african-americans. a very important experience. >> thank you. i am from cortland maine -- portland, maine. my father's family is from louisiana. your cousin is a graduate of lsu. without invading your privacy overstepping my question, what are the challenges you face teaching the civil war in the south? aaron: that is a good question. well -- i have been lucky. as a civil war historian i am in a place where people care passionately about the conflict and the past. my first semester teaching i was discussing the battle

why the idea of sherman was-- i've always been intrigued by sherman. and he brought him alive for me in that book. >> i'm not sure he would be able to tell us how he got that idea. because i once asked him that about something else. and i am not sure he would know. hes with, of course against war. and i think that part of what the march shows is the chaos of war. >> rose: it does. and especially and nobody hated war more than sherrman. >> right. >> rose: many thought it was hell. >> right. >> rose: but he also thought you had to win and you had to win as fast as you could and end it. >> get it done. >> rose: but take the book of daniel which was about politics. what was his politics? >> well, i think-- . >> rose: liberal democrat would you assume. >> yes i would assume that. >> rose: very liberal democrat. >> yes, i think he was an old leftie. i think he would say that i think he would say that. and his politics were absolutely consistent. >> rose: and what liberty did he take, total liberty in terms of historical fiction? if this was does wasly based

sherman never got the memoir.grant did of course and at appomattox the terms had to give only with the surrender of the army. ultimately that's what is sherman terms, as a rejection of the original but sherman had misunderstood the conversations that they had on the river queen to think that he could actually negotiate political terms are not just military terms with the enemy surrendering to him. if he had gotten a dispatch that lincoln center grant i think sherman would have never done what he did. because it was a political agreement as well as in which agreement. that was a no-no. >> i have a question about land redistribution to the friedman and speaking of children, famous 40 acres and a mule. was there ever any feasible political liability? the radical republicans felt that ann johnson spout off that he's going to break down -- at lincoln ever spoke, any spoken word on that possibility? >> actually there have been conversations between lincoln and some of the radicals in congress over confiscation. the cons

and that was roger sherman of connecticut and so let's go look at him and see what he came up with. the connecticut delegation is here. and i have to apologize ladies and gentlemen, because whenever i think of roger sherman i can't help but think of that great musical 1776 and roger sherman was one of the six people at the convention that passed the declaration of in dependence and in 1776, mr. sherman and adams are debating in song about who should write the declaration and thompson jeffer said i don't know a part issicle from a predicate i'm just from connecticut. but he wasn't singing or dancing but coming up with the connecticut compromise. look he looks so stern but impressive. how could you resist a gaze like that. the connecticut compromise was to blend the virginia and new jersey plans and propose the system that we have today where we have two houses, the interest of small states is represented in the senate where every state has two votes regardless of how big it is and the interest of the large states is represented in the house of representatives, which is created or por

the third candidate is john sherman of ohio. john sherman had been the treasury secretary in the hayes administration, left the hayes administration and became a senator from ohio. he is the brother of william tukumpsa sherman. now we have three majorfigures. sherman goes to garfield and says will you be my campaign manager. garfield says, i would be honored. sherman then decided to resign from senate to devote full time to his run for president. that leaves a vacancy for the ohio senate. now, remember, voters don't vote in the senators. state legislators do. the state legislature of ohio picks from the next senator of ohio garfield. garfield is the republican leader in the house and the senator elect from ohio. okay? it's going to get better. the republican convention in 1880 takes place in chicago which is still suffering and showing many of the ill effects from the famous fire. blain's name is placed in nomination. konkling gets up and nominates grant. citing him as the hero. at this point, then, it is time to nominate sherma

sherman, whether you go ahead. guest: i was part of the small committee that was given the honor of escorting the prime minister of israel into the house chambers. it is not true that every member of congress stood up and cheered at everything the prime minister of israel had to say. in fact there were about 50 of my colleagues who announced they were boycotting and not standing up. the idea that every president has been pro-israel is historically not true. it was eisenhower that forced the israelis to withdraw from sinai back in 1956. the last president, george w. bush, had an absolutely terrible policy on iran. for eight years he blocked every effort to pass new sanctions on iran. people think this is genuine male pattern bold -- baldness, but this is just banging my head against every wall in washington trying to pass sanctions. president george bush deliberately intentionally decide and refused to enforce the iran sanctions act which had been passed in the early 1990's. the reason for that doesn't mean i mean,

after burning atlanta, general sherman began his famous march to the sea. the story goes that when he reached savannah, sherman was so taken by the city's beauty, he spared it. the second time these homes came close to destruction was during the 1900s. developers began tearing them down for parking lots and new buildings. but seven women banded together and formed the historic savannah foundation. not only did it save the homes it helped create one of the largest national landmark districts in the nation. savannah was georgia's first city. it was founded in 1733 by james oglethorpe for king george ii of england. oglethorpe was a visionary. he designed america's first planned city around 24 large open squares with their giant oaks and hanging spanish moss. but he was also a realist. the general made the streets between the squares wide enough to accommodate an army. this way, soldiers could be moved quickly from one part of town to another. during the american revolution three black soldiers from haiti fought here alongside the americans and french against t

clearly there were excesses in sherman's march through south carolina. maybe shared in the destruction of shenandoah valley. clearly that goes beyond the adjustments of the war -- the justness of the war. peter carmichael: the deadline of civilians and shoot them. -- did line-up civilians and shoot them. dr. mcpherson: in world war ii if we want to say strategic bombing was part of just war that killed hundreds of thousands of vietnamese civilians. in the civil war, very few civilians were killed by the actions -- thousands of civilians. in the civil war very few civilians were killed by the actions of soldiers. i am with mark grimsley that this was a hard war and making a hard war was part of the policy of winning the war. while there were excesses, it nevertheless was largely within the balance of a proportionate response to the demands of the war. peter carmichael: why don't we take a few questions from the audience. the cannot hear you, it is not on. -- they cannot hear you, it is not on. >> given all of the recent work on civil war memories to come

ambassador, that the chief negotiator in talks with iran is this woman, wendy sherman.s the number three person at the state department in the united states. she served the obama administration since 2011. she was also a top aide in coordinating policy on trying to contain north korea's nuclear proliferation during the clinton administration. here she is with her north korean counterpart in 2000. given how the north korean talks turned out, you wonder why she was tapped to do the same thing with iran. do you wonder about that, mr. ambassador? >> i do wonder. anyone who dealt with north korea should have learned a lesson. the thing that worries me most, not just about miss sherman, who i respect very much but everybody who sat across the table including secretary kerry and his team, i'm sure they meant well. i think these are decent people who meant well. but somehow they were taken for a ride by the iranians. mohammad javad zarif the iranian foreign minister served with me for four years as iran's ambassador to the united nations. the minute he was appointed i knew that

as sherman had said in 1864, i'm going to show them i can go anywhere i want to go, and do anything i want to do, and their government is powerless. to keep me from doing it. when they really realize that, the war will be over. the work of jackie campbell and others had shown us that historians misunderstood the impact on morale. he hard the confederate is all. when it same can that united states armies could do anything they wanted to do, what seal that, they can destroy the army in northern virginia. if they can destroy the army of northern virginia there is no other straw which you can grasp and try to pretend that they war can continue. jefferson davis labored under the delusion that would happen for a while until he got into georgia. most people did not. they knew that as a people they had expended blood and treasure in profusion. that all that they had done had yielded utter defeat in terms of their military resistance. in april and may they suppressed all thoughts of large-scale resort to arms. testimony reveals that they understood not only that they had been beaten but how th

the verdict rendered by military forces committed by hard eyed soldiers such as grant and sherman, and sheridan. these confederates are losers on an epic scale. gail. is losers in united states history by far. they knew it and they knew why. a quarter of a million men have died in uniform. that is using the old numbers. i don't know what the number would be if we use the number that has been adjusted up, the confederate number is going to go up in recalculating that. at least a quarter of a million of them are dead. emancipation has destroyed their social system. no one knew what lay ahead. they were going to go ahead with reunion because they didn't have a choice. most of them did not reconcile nearly as easily as many people would have it. reunion reconciliation in the new book about the memory of the war tells a should never be confused. they are not synonyms. reunion reconciliation are not synonyms and should never be treated. the reunion is coming. you can make that happen with military force. you cannot make reconciliation come. that is a matter of sentiment and judgment, excepti
