to reconstruct the south. what's interesting about johnson is that he is a staunch racist and this comes out during his presidency. he cannot even contemplate black people as equals. he is southern, he is white. he hates the planter class because he is a poor southern white but he hates black people even more. during reconstruction when you look at the policy of his presidential reconstruction you can see this. he at one point even meets a delegation led by frederick douglass who has met lincoln, has been received politely by lincoln. johnson meets him and he calls it the darky delegation, right? when they leave his secretary records this, nowadays we have hot mics, right, that catch people saying things, politicians sometimes are caught saying things that are really crude and awful, sometimes they just say it openly, but his secretary recorded this and johnson said about this black delegation that had come to plead with him for black rights, the right to vote, he had, led by the great frederick douglass, he s

or to have any federal power in the south to reconstruct the south. what's interesting about johnson if he is a staunch racist. this comes out during his presidency. he cannot even contemplate black people as equals. he is southern, he is white, he hates the planter class because he hates black people, when you look at the policies you can see this. at one point he even meets a delegation led by frederick douglass who remember has met lincoln hand has been received by lincoln, johnson meets him and calls it the dark delegation, when they leave nowadays we have hot microphones and catch people saying things that are crude and awful. sometimes they said openly. but his secretary reported this -- recorded this. johnson said about this black delegation that had come to plead with him for black rights, led by frederick douglass, he said, these are his exact words, he was a pretty crude guy, one of the crudest american presidents actually, he said -- i know douglas, he would sooner cut a white man's throat the not. this is the president of the united states

if he goes to the south, he can't tell you he's going to the south. sons could only tell their parents they're going on a special mission. somewhere and the idea is to make your parents think you're going overseas this way they don't worry about you. if they know you're going down south, chances are you're not coming back. which most people didn't. you weren't even allowed to say if you're a northern soldier, you couldn't tell your family, you were going to fight in the south. so americans, what do they do in their spare time? they write letters home, right? no mail system. you're not allowed to report on what's happening. it might go against what the propaganda is spewing, right? so as far as le zuan in hanoi is concerned, this is a disaster is on him. because he controls the newspapers, the radio, all people here is that there were lots of explosions in the south and we're doing awesome, we kill all these americans, we kill all of these puppet troops and we've only lost a handful of individuals. that's one of the reasons why they always stay in the

it failed to halt the interdiction down to the south, the support to the south, or the ability for north vietnam to continue. and we could look at that to say, well, it's not a normal strategic bombing campaign. who's supporting north vietnam? where are they getting all of their stuff? and so towards the end of the conflict, we are using b-52s, we're using all of this firepower. like you said, is it having an effect? and what does this guy really need to carry out the conflict? what does this guy need to move the stuff down the south? i'm using a bicycle. i've got my bag of rice for food and sustenance. i'm taking down a bomb. it gives us a sense. so, significance of this? besides, again, we're not done talking about air power in vietnam. we'll talk about linebacker mission next time that's four years after the end of this strategic campaign. but this quote in "air power in three wars" that i mentioned earlier, this is why you're here, right? you're here to develop your officership, character officer, speaking of reporting correctly, doing the right thing, right? but even more, you are t

he is the counterpart in the south. as before the war began, the north vietnamese are of attaining significant support from the chinese and soviets. there are countless other countries that offer materials, political, moral support but ultimately what really allows hanoi to wage the war is the material support to get from the chinese and soviets. then in saigon, we have the americans obviously who provided significant military and economic assistance. but under so many people, dust, there are other countries who contribute assistant -- assistance. and some of the slides you see here, which you probably can't recognize, we've got the white flag with the little circle. south korea. the one next to it, what is the one next to it? australia. the one above it? excellent. very, very good. that is one of the rare asian countries with a red, white and blue flag. there will be australian troops in vietnam. there will also be tie troops in vietnam. there will be some others in vietnam. there will be south koreans also fighting in

i think south africans will be looking at every twist and turn. during this whole inquiry and also as a my last question it's you know south africa was this model. if it were thought that it was going to be this shining example for africa what went wrong. i think that south africans are quite exhausted and overwhelmed by the corruption revelations that have been linked to the gupta family and have been publicized in those to leak e-mails this has been you know matter of public kind of discourse for at least the last two or three years and some africans are simply exhausted by the rhetoric that you hear over and over again is that people want as you raised yourself they want to see definitive action taken against people who commit these kind of acts of corruption but not just that they want to see people government officials actually being held accountable for a very wasteful you know mullet ministration where they're effectively treating the state money back it doesn't really belong to the people of south africa but rather to a political elite so

north to south.nd, we need some signals -- symbols to signify north and south. >> how about a u.s. flag and a confederate flag. not the stars and bars, not the national fight, but the battle flag of some description. with a tells me, by 1900, this flag, its meaning, what i meant to emphasize by the way earlier, i completely ran over my notes here. one of the principles of my talk to you today, is about tracing the pattern of this flag's history. you have to trace its entire history to understand why there are battles of the battle fight today. because, the meaning has evolved over time. that one remaining replacing another. it's an attrition -- and creation of new levels of meeting. these meanings derived from the use. use leads to perception, which leads to meaning. we need to look at the way the flag was used in the way people perceived to. and therefore, their perception of what it meant. it went from being a flag of the confederate soldier, to a flag of the confederacy. by the turn-of-the-century

a brisk south—westerly wind. that front, just 16 degrees there in stornoway. a bit of a change through wednesday night and into thursday, as this cold front gets driven further south and east across the uk. it's driven on by this kink in the jet stream. so that will bring a spell of heavy rain and then it will open the door for that cooler and fresher weather moving in from the north—west, so thursday initially some outbreaks of rain across the south—east of england and east anglia, and then fresher conditions moving from the atlantic, with a mix of sunshine and some heavy and possibly thundery showers for scotland and northern ireland. a bit fresher by thursday, so 17 to 21 degrees as we look towards the end of the week. during friday, low pressure still to the north—west, so more of that rain and breezy conditions for parts of scotland and northern ireland. much of england and wales, particularly down towards the south—east, you're more likely to stay dry. temperatures perhaps up to around 23 in the warmer spot

then across the south—east, an area of rain moving up across the near continent could just graze south—eastross england and wales. blustery across scotland and northern ireland. there's a chance as this area of low pressure deepens here, it could turn windier for a time across the very far south—east, so it could be quite a soggy end to the day here. pretty nasty evening commute, i think, for some. bit of uncertainty into the west with the extent of this rain, looks like the heaviest of the stuff will be across into the near continent. that area of low pressure pushes on in towards the north sea as we head on in towards friday. a ridge of high pressure tries to build in, and an area of low pressure looms out in the atlantic and will arrive just in time for the weekend. so for friday's picture then, we're in between the weather systems. it's going to be a day of sunshine and showers, and some of them could be the heavy side, again with a rumble of thunder. but hit and miss, some areas staying dry altogether, and in the sunshine, not too bad, temperatures range from 17 to 22, that is cooler t

what was it like to be in the south at the time, in georgia or south carolina with sherman's army pressing upon people? how was it to have an army of 60,000 men at people's houses, foraging for crops, taking their livestock, burning their homes. was this total war as we know it from the 20th century or was this something else? >> sherman himself called it hard war and that's a concept that existed before then. it existed in the napoleonic age and in some of the wars against native americans but in the context of the civil war it was unprecedented and sherman's orders to his troops were also unprecedented in the sense that he wasn't fighting a conventional battle. he was doing something else entirely. his means was to cripple the material resources of the south and in doing so he targeted their military. he targeted their industrial infrastructure, railroads, cotton gins and the ammunition and he also encouraged the foraging of his troops off the land as well as the burning of private public property as needed. >> there's been a movement recently to try to humanize sherman a little bit, to
