he spent 10 years in the south carolina general assembly. he spent 10 years in the united states congress. he developed great wealth. when he died in 1915, he had been 20 years away from affecting the constitutional convention in 1895. the constitutional convention that took all of the rights of african-americans away. and he died a brokenhearted person, because people lost focus. they began to take for granted all of those gains that were made. we must not take those gains that have been made for granted. bakari has told you. today, we live under "stand your ground" laws. that is nothing more than a license to go out and execute people without any threat of any kind of consequences. we stand today looking at voter id laws that are nothing more than efforts to suppress the votes of people of color. people hidere behind second amendment rights as if there are not any limits. there are limits on the first amendment. all of us have free speech, but there are limits on what that free speech can be. all of us have the right to the second amendmen

it apparently had some impact because the next day the brigade is going to march off to south carolina. william spain had a similar experience to daniel sellers. he enlisted in the eighth north carolina in march of 17767. he was 13 years old when he did so. he went as a substitute for his father. he served at the battles of brandywine, germantown, and spent the winters at valley forge. like sellers he marched in the fall pof 1779 to the southward and would have witnessed the execution of those. in the attack on charleston, the two men would have served with the north carolina brigade. what you see here is the american defense line and prior to the siege beginning, the british are going to be marching down peninsula. sellers with the light infantry is sent out to attack them. and on the action of march 30th, which takes place, he is wounded in the leg. he carries a musket ball which he received that day in his leg the rest of his life. his captain, joseph bowman, who he'd known for four years, was killed on that day and probably had some impact on him. both men, sellers and spain, would

really, have you so much resistance to the british in south carolina. one of the problems that lincoln had is he didn't get as many militia men into town's wanted to. there was a belief that smallpox was raging in charleston at the time of the siege of charleston. you don't get as many militia men from the back county as lincoln hoped. the flipside was they were available to resist the british under thomas sumpter, andrew pickens in the summer of 1780. when corn wallace gets into south carolina, he really runs into a hornet's nest. i was talk someone before the talk tonight. putting down an insurgency, whether it's in south carolina in 1780 or in vietnam in the 1960s or insurgency in afghanistan in the towels, ves very difficult with a limited armed force when is you don't control the populace. so the british faced a lot of the same problems in 1780 that american forces face today. >> this is actually a follow-up to the gentleman in the front row's question about the list of officers. this is a question for a friend of mine who has done extensive study

it was in south carolina. it was in mississippi where you had the largest number of african-americans who were actually voting and sort of mobilizing to hold office and where black political power was greatest was where white violence was also the worst. think that goes to your point, that having african-americans holding political power was such an inront to white southerners the 19th century. this came up in the previous panel, the long presence of african-american soldiers during the war in memphis. hannah rose and talked about some of those men came to the women's houses and asked with her husband's work, and if he is a filter, as if some of those women were being targeted specifically because their husbands had been soldiers. again, it is the same kind of thing. voteare not mobilizing to yet, but it is the presence of african-american men in u.s. uniforms purporting to represent the united states as a member of its military. that in and of itself was a revolutionary and radical thing for a lot of, particu

a lot of people want to talk about what happened in south carolina. we're talking about georgia. at least in georgia and north carolina few private homes were burned and those that were belonged to men like howell cobb, former u.s. secretary of the treasury, whom sherman considered a traitor, guilty of bringing on the rebellion. barnes, cotton gins were all put to the torch but rarely a private home. one study conducted in georgia in the 1950s comparing wartime maps with existing antebellum structures found that most along the route of the march were still in existence and the few that were gone had been lost to post-war accidents. and despite the commonly held belief reinforced by the move inquire "gone with the wind" that sherman reduced the intire city of atlanta to a smoldering ruin, only the business and industrial sections were put to the torch. the residential areas and the courthouse district were compared. some houses were destroyed but in general the residential areas survived, although battered, fully 60% of the city was still standing when sherman set out on his famous

and in south carolina, 2015. i still marvel at how our state responded to the shooting at mother emmanuel, the power of forgiveness, the power of love conquering hate. earlier this year i lost my grandfather. i haven't really talked about it publicly. he was 94 years old and meant so much to me. this was a man born in sally, south carolina, in 1921. i can only imagine what he has seen in south carolina. i can only imagine the life, the challenges and the struggles of an african-american in the deep south, 1921, 1931, and the 1940's. he didn't finish element elemen- elementary school. he had to pick cotton. he never learned to read. he eventually got a job at the port of charleston, a job that while it did not give us much in the way of tangible resources, it provided a measurable lifeline for our family. now this is a story that's been repeated generation after generation in this country. i heard this story from a very different frame from my good friend marco rubio. it's a story of success. it's a story of signi

i mean, most of the burning that we think of happens in south carolina. they cross into north carolina, and they -- sherman says, okay, back to your best behavior now, so to speak. don't burn down everybody's house, but they limited the destruction. so what sherman did was he fainted towards macon to the right. he fainted to the left towards augusta and he went right up the middle. vince duly sitting here could probably tell me what play that is. think to the left, and go right up the middle. [ inaudible ] that's right, so long as herbial got the ball. in this case, sherman had the ball and they leave right through them. they leave millageville, and faint, and they head directly towards savannah. when he leaves and goes into south carolina, he faints towards charlescharleston, and middle to colombia. he's continually doing this, keeping them off balance. i think it was also imperative for him to keep moving. he had a map that he looked at planning the march exactly where they were going to g he wto go, see the crops produced in all of these counties, how m
