but in 2008, when georgia tried to retake control of the region, russia occupied south ossetia. hen, the colict remains resoed. our reporter visited the demarcation line, which cuts through villages and separates families. reporter: barbed wire cuts across the village of khurvaleti in central georgia. the town is divided, as some places were divided during the cold war. only animals can pass through unhindered. since the end of the russian-georgian war in 2008, 200 european union observers have watched over the demarcation line. and what they see has them worried. the ceasefire is still holding, but south ossetia is isolating itself, with negative consequences for the people here. farmer dato vanishvili tells us his story, which is typical of many people's fates in the region. dato wanischwili: this was georgian territory for 80 years. and now? has it turned russian? i've lived here for 80 years. that's my house over there. when i built it, sometimes i was hungry, and sometimes i had enough to eat. where should i go now? i will never leave here alive. my mother lies in the cemete

opposite the petitioners, a congressman from the lower south, here, i'm referring to georgia and south carolina, these men answered the anti-slavery rhetoric of the petitioners by underlining the sanctity of property rights and depicting slaves as inferior to their white counterparts, unfit for the liberty the petitioners argued was a natural right of all. thus, congress' first debate over slavery exposed wrist over over the meaning of race and a place of human bondage in the american nation. a rift over principles that would shape the contours of the nation's growing division regarding the peculiar institution for generations to come. after a hard-fought battle to ratify the constitution, the first federal congress convened in new york of april of 1789. if the constitution gave a blueprint for federal governance, the first congress was left to interpret it design and set precedents in national lawmaking. i have here an illustration of federal hall, where the first congress met during its first two sessions before moving in december of 1790 to philadelphia where it would stay for a dec

south. georgia's state flag was changed to have the stars and bars on it, which was recognized as a confederate battle flag. there was a lot of controversy as georgia was changing and modernizing, with people coming in. many people felt it was not really reflecting who georgia was. a predecessor had changed the flight through a legislative process that many of us did not feel was inclusive. i had faith in the georgian people, and they would have bought into the vision. a great symbol and signal to the united states that georgia was different and agreed by public referendum to do that. i agreed to a public referendum for people to vote on the change. they voted for a historical flag that was there for many years from its early history, and it flies today over georgia. i think people are happy to leave that behind us. it reflects who georgia is. steve: what are your thoughts about confederate symbols, whether it is a flight, the -- the flag, the statue of robert r. lee, or a confederate soldier? secretary perdue: i think it is difficult today to erase history, whether that segment of our history

i did talk to a lot of people from different states in the south, georgia, mississippi, tennessee but also a lot of alabama voters who did decide to show up for their candidate. what's interesting about pensacola florida is it's so close to the third biggest city in alabama. mobile, alabama actually local stations there share the same media market in pensacola which means president trump doesn't need to go to alabama to actually be in alabama for roy moore. a lot of people will be watching from home. a lot of people showed up tonight to see president trump. right now, moore is about two points ahead in the real clear politics average from jones and his opponent democrat doug jones was targeted on twitter by president trump this morning who says he is a pelosi/schumer puppet who will block his agenda and that is a big attack to live it against jones because 62% of alabama voted for president trump's agenda in november last year, so they obviously want to see that push through. i talked to a lot of people in line who said they support the president's decision to support roy moore. i tal
