certainly, we know that southern -- part of the story that southern white women wrote. indeed, a prodigious river flew from the pans of southern white women. about this in the postwar period, and for the most part we can find ourselves examining the degree to which example of hide some version of the lost cause. i am interested in something more fundamental and more expensive. my comments here today are suggestive rather than for senate as area this is not a for senatethan if. i was studying the reconstruction period. i have put that on hold. i am now working on a project about reading. this project comes out of that, but what i am giving you today is all i've got. [laughter] you haveer questions for me, i will say, that's a fabulous question. my contention is that the amantic period lasted generation or so longer in the u.s. than it did in england and thatnental europe, mid-19th century americans, those who came of age in the 1820's, 1830's, 1840's, were romantics, and that the war utterly shattered those romantic sensibilities. i don't mean to suggest that southern wh

he is going to be speaking about southern honor and southern defeat. southern honor is tossed around a fair amount. usually it conjures up the idea of men duelling and shooting each other. it is certainly a much more complex ethic. i'm pleased that david is here to explore that topic with us. david silkenat. [ applause ] >> i want to begin by thanking pete for putting together this -- for inviting me and putting together a tremendous program. i am looking forward to this week probably as much as you are. i also want to thank the entire staff here, especially allison, for helping with all of the logistics. shortly after lee's surrender at appomattox, union colonel john t. sprague received an unusual mission from general john pope. he was to travel down the mississippi from pope's headquarters in st. louis to louisiana, and from there travel up the red river to shreveport where he was to demand confederate general edmond kirby smith surrender. using the appomattox terms as a template. the trip from st. louis to the confederate trans mississippi capital t

southern spirit thrives in the press. regimental histories are turned out in great numbers, and survivors associations begin to flourish. eventually, in great numbers. that is a public discussion that exists. so too did veterans look to the war and private waste as they had done threat the conflict. -- private ways as they had done throughout the conflict. some "prolific through the wartime era. some wrote hundreds of letters. they continued in the postwar period. not in the same numbers, which is unfortunate for us the scholars, but it is certainly there. in these unpublished letters, veterans had clearly changed in some fundamental way. they sought to make connections to the wartime experiences with other veterans. for me, the way where we can understand this best is through the lens of emotions history. these are individuals who experienced deprivation, trials, and combat, and had a very similar set of emotional reactions. an outpouring to these experiences. many of these men in the antebellum era had been very disincl

near of ading the closed southern culture has impartially shattered by civil war southern men forever changed by the conflict sought out ,eterans to express and examine in many instances, the men better most accessible were other confederate veterans. very interesting. did you find any ways in which those expressions changed over time? the think that many men by 1880's discontinue their private memoirs, theublish regimental histories that are very much aware of. period isleast, the the most interesting were the emotions are most involved. where the reactions are most visceral. by the 1880's, you still see remnants of that trauma but the language has been tempered and it is a peer -- there's a lot more political motivation behind the discourse i will say that the private discussion is discontinued by the 1880's. or unwilling to correspond and people have lost track. ryne sandberg's going to take us in a different direction. he's going to talk about the question of what it means to historians when we focus on those who are disabled and damaged? >> thank you, diane. in 1883, new orleans

white southerners. and for white southerners, they had the burden of or i should say the guilt of holding slaves. they had the burden of secession. they had the burden of a war that sacrificed so many lives. and they had the burden of military occupation. they had to explain not just to themselves but they had to explain to the entire world, and that's crucial and something that i don't think we have heard a lot of around here, and that is reconstruction is something that should not be studied in isolation. this is not just a regional issue. this is an issue that needs to be globalized. white southerners in the post-war period were speaking to the world. they were speaking to a world in which they very much wanted to membership of, a world in which had moved away from slavery, and now they had gone to their death as a nation and as a people to defend an institution that most of the world, of course, had turned its back upon. and so ultimately, why they turned to the lost cause in this explanation is tha

i mean, the southerners were the experts on cotton. if you look at the cotton gin that was invented, it's really not that complicated. yet, they themselves couldn't create that. eli whitney was a teacher from massachusetts and tutoring somebody in the south. and he saw the problem and invented the cotton gin. so i thought the south was just not heading toward the 20th century. and eventually they would have been surrounded by freedom. i mean, mexico got rid of slavery in 1820 or approximately. and so anyway, that's -- >> well, a couple of generations of americans were educate certainly with the rather pleasant notion fostered by a school of southern historians and those who were friendly to them that slavery would have just faded away and everything would have been hunky-dory. there's really not much basis in my opinion for believing that anymore. there is no real reason to assume either that slavery would not have perhaps adapted in ways that were not necessarily foreseen in 1861 to new economic realiti realities, although the agraria

>> so what goes into place in the southern states is our republican reconstruction governments and it's at that point by the late 1860s that you begin to see a number of african-american officeholders move up into positions of local authority. either on town councils or in the state legislatures. and they gain a political role and a political voice and a number of the african-americans who serve in this time period, that's how they kind of come up through the ranks very quickly and move up into positions where they can then be elected to congress. >> so, so who's the first african-american in the house? >> well, the first african-american to speak on the floor in the house of representatives while the house is in session is actually a man who was elected but never seated. john willis menard from louisiana was elected in 1868. and his election was contested and that's a story that kind of runs throughout the 19th century for so many of these african-american members who were elected to congress. their election was challenged, and a number of them had that experience. menard was in februa

southerners were terrified of a natch turner rebellion ripped large. they say so over and over and over again. a haiti, a reliving of what happened in haiti at the turn of the century. there is much more to be said on this, except that without the war slavery would have had succession -- would have sec seeded. it wouldn't have just died out on its own. although, that argument is made by many his torns, i don't think it was going that way. i think it would have found more fields to concur. >> thank you very much. very interesting. i have a question about the senate and compromise. couple of questions. the first one is if the filibuster rule had been in effect in 1850, would there have ever been a compromise? and are there any lessons that you could draw from your study of that debate and that moment in history and the challenges that are facing the congress and america right now with what's being called a grand bargain to reach some settlement of the issues facing us right now? >> well, those are two good, big questions. to address the filibuster one, w
