and georgia and cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia peaked go into north carolina thought it would help him to subdue a rebel. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command and june down into the late spring 1781 until he arrives at yorktown. clinton meanwhile comes back to new york and never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british tried to accomplish and they came reasonably close that maybe we could talk about later on this evening but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was and clinton later said he began 1781 more of british success than any of the four years so clinton ultimately thought that if the allies of the french and americans could be prevented from scoring that decisive victory in 1781 that the war was in a negotiated settlement. washington felt that, lafayette says that, john adams is writing to congress and telling congress pretty much the same thing. and saying they had been here three years and having gaine

south carolina was a majority black state.ssippi were majority black states and ground zero for reconstruction was south carolina and georgia alabama and florida were almost majority black so there is a real concentration of black power as was said to be in the film in the six southern states. that was true even before the civil war. it was called me grow country because it was so full of black people. and because of the economy and the productivity of the whites and the expertise of africans they brought to south carolina. but also a sizable three black community the ame church formed in philadelphia by richard allen. and formally born in the year 1860 in charleston, and there is the emmanuel church and in 1822, a man was accused of plotting and insurrection in charleston. that he was free how did he get free? listen to this because this is one of the ironies of american history and the complexity of history. and enslave man in 1799 he plays the lottery i get the convenience store and $11500. he used 600 of those dollars to b

and from day one, cornwallis orders to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina. he thought it would help him with subduing the rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of, well, in 1781 and all until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish here and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close. some things went wrong that we can maybe talk a little bit later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781 clinton was far more confident than washington was, what was going to happen that year. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any of the other four years that he was commander. and i think what clinton ultimately thought was that if the allies, if the

formidable storm, 44 my mold per hour sustained winds, tornado watch is in effect for parts of south carolina and we have tornado warnings storms right now, tropical storm warnings in effect from the southeast all the way up towards the mid-atlantic and the northeast so we will feel the effects of the storm on the i-95 corridor tomorrow so let's take a look at the latest track still a tropical storm for the next two days or so and then finally moving out to atlantic canada but we will feel the storm in new york city tomorrow. tornado threat will continue through the rest of the day in part of the california toward the mid-atlantic to the northeast and there's the tornado threat and north of charleston is where we have a tornado warned storm, sometimes with these tropical systems we see on the weaker side of tornado spectrum but still could cause some structural damage and the flood advisories, heavy rainfall with this not only today but tomorrow. we could see some extensive damage across heavily populated neighborhoods because of the storm system. not done. >> turnaround, don't drown. >> jani

and georgia with the rebel rebellion in south carolina and georgia so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 down into the late spring of 1781 until he arrives at yorktown clinton comes back to new york and never saw cornwallis again so that is the strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. they came reasonably close. some things went wrong but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was of what was going to happen that year. they began 1781 more confident of the british success than any of the other four years that he was commander and i think what clinton ultimately thought was if the french and americans could score a decisive victory in 1781, that the war would end in a negotiated settlement and clinton wasn't alone in that, i think washington felt that, lafayette says that, john adams and europe is telling congress pretty much the same thing, adams is telling congress they've been in this for three years and haven't gained anything out of it so you've got to

so if jermaine's plan, southern strategy panned out and georgia and south carolina and north carolina below virginia were retaken, the british already had east and west florida, they'd gained that in a war that ended in 1763. they still were in control of the trans appalachian west and still in control of canada. so the united states would have been small, weak, surrounded by a great european power and it would face very uncertain future and in fact, many in england that thought if this played out in this fashion, that in not very long, many in the united states would seek to return to the british empire because they would have little capability of expanding and whatever. so that was the southern strategy and cobbled together in the winter of 1778 in london and as i mentioned, a little bit earlier when clinton receives his orders, it includes implement the southern strategy which he gets around here pretty fast. he sent a 3,000 man expedition to georgia in december of 1778 and in one-day battle, the british retook savannah. and then in 1780, clinton comes south and leads a huge expedi

south carolina was majority black state. um, south carolina, louisiana, mississippi where majority black states and ground zero. for the black community during reconstruction was charleston, south carolina and georgia, alabama and florida were almost majority black states. so there's a real concentration of black power as jim clyburn representative clyburn says to me in the film in those six southern states and that was true. even before the civil war south carolina's nickname was negro country because it was so full of black people and that of course was because of the economy and the productivity of rice in the sea islands and the expertise of africans brought to south carolina to go grow rice, but there was all so a sizable free black community now, we know that the ame church is first black denomination and it's formed in philadelphia by richard allen and it's formally um born in year 1860. well in charleston, there is a manual church and in 1822 a man named denmark vesey, as you know was accused of plotting and insurrec

from day one cornwallis' orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia they were in south carolina and georgia. by the time he takes command in june of 1780 and 1781 until he arrives in yorktown in the summer. clinton meanwhile comes back until after yorktown. the state where it's trying to accomplish. try to argue in the book and we can talk about a little later on this evening. clinton was far more confident than washington was. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident that any of the other four years he was commander. and i think maybe work clinton ultimately thought was if the allies the french and americans could be prevented in 171 that the war would end in a negotiated settlement. and clinton was not alone in that party think washington felt that, lafayette says that in his letters, john adams in europe is writing to congress and telling congress pretty much the same thing. adams is telling congress the french have been in this war for three years they have not gained anything out of e it. got to gain something in 1781 it's a face-saving measure to get out. but w

from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any four years he was commander. and ultimately clinton thought if the allies could be prevented for precise victory in 1781 and that the war word and in a negotiated settlement washington felt that. lafayette, john adams is writing to congres

dean of the south carolina democratic political delegation. as the de facto king maker in south carolina, congressman james clyburn gave joe biden a crucial and very well-timed endorsement.uc a big public endorsement before the south carolina primary, and that endorsement plucked biden's campaign out of the doldrums. set him on an inexorable path to win south carolina and the nomination.on now congressman clyburn gave an interview in which he said specifically what now president biden must do on voting rights. so democrats can stop just giving speeches on this issue and lamenting what republicans are doing against voting rights around the country so they are g doing more than, for example, just praising and welcoming the democrats from the texas legislature who had to leave their state and come to washington late last night as their last-ditch tactical last-hope effort to block new voter suppression laws in texas that republicans are going to pass. this weekend james clyburn said in an interview with politico.com that president biden must do o

so this is in south carolina. it's sometimes known as the first siege of charleston. this was a patriot victory the british attack charleston and they were defeated. and this is going to be one of the last major british operations in the south until 78 to 1778. excuse me. uh next battle battle of thomas creek, may 17 1777. we're gonna talk a little bit about this later, but this was a british victory. we also have the battle of alligator bridge in 1778. that is also a british victory and that's taking place in florida. and again, we'll talk a little more about that. battle of kettle creek, february 14th 1779. so we're getting kind of later into the war, but we're still technically before 1780. this was a patriot victory and we will touch a little bit more on kettle creek and a little bit. and then there's the siege of savannah september to october 1779 again in georgia continental army is teaming up with the french, but they do fail to recapture savannah from the british. and then that's when we finally start getting into that 1780 number and that's when the southern

in south carolina we are returning to work at a drastically higher rate than the rest of the country. a recent survey showed that 1.8 million people have turned down work because of the overly generous unemployment benefits and that's a large chunk of that 9 million person labor -- -- and many states are in place through september? >> that's already happened. those will be expiring by the end of september. essentially all those benefits will be gone in many states they are already gone. we will see that. never affect those things are having now, it won't last much longer. >> south carolina relies on businesses in other states. it's creating a problem for my state so i just think we have created a disincentive to return to work and that's not good. one last question on inflation. if the fed were to move to increase interest rates, one result would be the increased that service cost to the federal government's $30 trillion plus debt. is that a factor you would take into consideration when deciding to potentially change the benchmark rate? >> absolutely not. >> so hundreds of billions of
