so it was the southerners who held the power, often in the senate. that started to change in the 1850s. it started to change for a variety of reasons. the southerners felt threatened by that. >> host: looking back to the 1850s, was there a time in that decade when you can say we could have prevented the civil war? >> guest: i think there were several points at which the civil war could have been prevented. but, one of the points really was with the issuance of the dred scott decision in 1857 in which the supreme court went beyond what it needed to do and declared that blacks were never citizens and can never be citizens. and the united states federal government had no right to stop slavery from going into any territory. that is really one decision that might have at least arrested the civil war and given people more time. i really do think of politicians in the 1850s and certainly in the late 1860s in washington, did not realize how angry the electorate was. especially misjudged the fire eating sentiment in the south. when they did realize that perha

this sort of thinking exemplified the stuff of nightmares for lower southern congas meant. -- southern congressman. as a president of the washington county abolition society of pennsylvania, scott's word captured fully the racially inclusive vision of the republic held by the antislavery petitioners, the vision that had called slavery defenders to claim it is the only proper state for african americans, and thereby slavery is an institution compatible with the new nation. for james jackson, scott's comments confirmed what he had known all along. the anti-slavery petitions represented a complete assault on the institution of slavery. therefore while many house members accuse the lower sufferers of displaying undue trepidation in their fiery action to the report, for jackson it was "the reality, not the bugbear which we have raised." jackson spoke for the southern contingent when he laid the principles embodied in the petitions and evident in the words like compass minerals like scott -- of congressmen like scott could be to the devastation of the south.

reconstruction was created by the republican party, and if southerners, white southerners, were tempted to vote republican, you would have another period of reconstruction. claude bowers, who i mentioned, who wrote "the tragic era," which is a lurid work of historical fiction masquerading as history -- it was published in 1929. why? in 1928, for the first time since reconstruction, republicans had carried a number of southern states in the presidential election. herbert hoover. why? democraticsmith, the candidate, was a catholic, and roman many evangelical voters in the south did not want to vote for a catholic. others werend alarmed by the inroads hoover had made in the southern vote, and his lurid book was a warning of what might happen if southerners turned to the republican party. well, then the civil rights revolution took place. the pillars of the old view fell to the ground. you could no longer argue that black people are inherently incapable of taking part in political democracy. and the historians completely revised their view of the period. today, i would say most historians s

of what might happen if southerners turned to the republican party. well, then the civil rights revolution took place. the pillars of the old view fell to the ground. you could no longer argue that black people were inherently incapable of taking part in political democracy. and the historians completely revised their view of the period. today, i would say most historians see reconstruction as a noble, if unsuccessful, effort to establish for the first time in american history and interracial democracy, a democracy with the participation of african-americans and whites at the same time, which had never existed in the united states before the civil war. if reconstruction was tragic, we now would say it was not because it attempted, but because it failed. that was the tragedy. and that it left to future generations that is very difficult problem of racial justice in american society. to understand how radical ,econstruction was and how despite its immediate failure, it reshaped american history in significant ways, we have to very quickly remind ourselv
