southern whites hated it. they hated people intervening in co-r "domestic affairs are blacks welcomed it. the bureau,ssays on saying how important it had been for african-americans to be able to appeal to the bureau to protect their rights. they helped implement fair wage contracts while they were still there. now, what happens of course is that lincoln incorporates with the republicans to pass the freedmen's bureau bill. this is the first step toward reconstruction. in terms of lincoln's plan for reconstruction, we will never know. he was killed. he actually helped form this agency. the second thing was the first reconstruction amendment. does anyone remember what that amendment was? >> it was the 13th amendment, right? the one abolishing slavery. professor sinha: right. that people should not be slaves. the second section of this amendment is really important. it says that congress should have the power to enforce this amendment. clearly, the 13th amendment says congress should be deciding on how to implemen

were the southern states the northern states -- dr. pitcaithley: northern and southern states? ohio, i don't remember, it was the first state, but it was one of those states. two northern and three southern, if i remember that, in a footnote. one of the interesting things that i do play around with in the book is, what if the south had not seceded? when does slavery end? it took a war to create the 13th amendment, 14th and 15t h amendments. what if there had been no war? when would slavery, which was, the chart was going up this way, still making lots of money, no signs of weakening, moving south and west, everybody was making money, including those mill workers in lowell, massachusetts, and new hampshire and new jersey. when would it have ended? would it? i was asked this at a conference couple years ago when i had not developed the thinking much. and my sort of answer off my head was, may be during the 1920's and 1930's with the onset of mechanized cotton picking. i'm really thinking that. i was too hasty. of whitethrough line supremacy we continue to see in this country, i t

absolutely no conditions put on southerners. there is this myth that johnson is continuing lincoln's policy. the wartime reconstruction that lincoln had put forward, this is a wartime measure for the areas conquered by the union. in particular, louisiana. but they said as long as the white population was loyal, they can reenter. there were hardly any conditions for civil rights or blacks. congress was upset about that. they had their own bill that they said would give black people some civil rights, but they did not give black men the right to vote. that does not mean that lincoln was opposed to black rights. remember his last speeches, he was in support of black rights. he writes a letter to the governor of louisiana saying to consider giving the right to vote to those who are very intelligent and have served in the union army and are educated. he is clearly a person who is moving toward black rights. johnson never does. in fact, he digs into this position that it is an impossibility. the other way lincoln is different is that

dunning school, giving equal rights to black people meant herding southern whites. -- hurting southern whites. and there was nothing redeeming about this period at all. and the pernicious thing is that dunning and his students pretty much dominated reconstruction historiography. rights, not states slavery, was a similar interpretation. this interpretation was dominant for a very long time. a few challenges started coming up with the rise of the progressive school of historians. you remember the progressive school of historians? the mcpherson article that talked about the civil war, the second american revolution? first putirst 448 -- forward by the aggressive school. that we can keep the idea of the revolution, but what we can't do is see it as some sort of economic conflict between the north and south, the real conflict was over slavery. and the revelation -- revolution was getting rid of slavery. the progressive school of historians said this race talk, that was not the real issue of reconstruction. this saw the civil war as a result of differing economic interests, they saw it as tr

southern roots. this continued after world war two and the korean war era. this was the dixie division in south carolina that used the confederate battle flag as part of their official symbolism. in 1951 withkorea his confederate battle flag. i received quite a few photos in response to an ad i put in a magazine for korean war veterans about the use of the confederate flag in korea because americans were fighting under the u.n. banner and not the stars and stripes. the confederate flag was the most popular american flag in korea. sentayor of new york city 100 of them to give the korean flag a healthy competition. another kind of warfare brought the flag into popular culture, the football field. this is the field at ole miss which has been closely associated with the battle flag. beginning in 1948 when the school was 100 years old. most of the student body of ole miss went off to fight in the division i showed you earlier. beginning in 1948, the battle flag was used as part of the ritual of football g

were they southern states? >> there was northern and southern states. ohio where he was from was -- i don't remember if it was the first state but one of those states. i think two northern and three southern if i remember that. it's in a footnote. one of the interesting things that i do play around with in the book is what if the south isn't seceded? when does slavery end? and i got -- it took a war to create the 13th amendment, 14th amendment and the 15th amendment. those are products of the war. what if there was no war? when would slavery, which was the chart was going up this way, still making lots of money. no signs of weakening. moving south and west. everybody was making money including the mill workers in old massachusetts and new hampshire and new jersey. i was asked this at a conference a couple of years ago when i hadn't developed the thinking much and my sort of answer off the top of my head was maybe during the 1920s and '30s. i think i was probably too hasty with the through line of white supremacy we've seen and continue to see in this co

as we established on tuesday, the insurgency in southern vietnam was begun by southerners. the wishes of hanoi. johnson's approach is to fight the insurgents in the south with american military personnel and then to bomb the north for its support of the state of war in southern vietnam. that is significant because, for the people of northern vietnam, this is lost on them. as far as they are concerned, the americans are bombing us for no reason. that is why the bombing was counterproductive. if anything, it inspired northerners to fight more valiantly once they get deployed to the south. they buy into the whole narrative presented to them, to these that that be american war in vietnam is effectively unprovoked american aggression against our poor, innocent people. now, always keep this in mind. we talked about this on tuesday. as far as johnson and his team are concerned, it is important to do something about vietnam. at a minimum, to prove that the u.s. is not a tiger, as was said -- "paper tiger" as mao had been saying about the u.s.. and ultimately, to demonstrate america
