[laughter] great, do it,e -- it solves sherman's problem, all of these african-americans who are refugees following his army are settled on the so-called sherman reserve. but you can tell that sherman

elizabeth cady stanton was on her honeymoon. the other was also a delegate. they bonded when she was denied a seat at the convention because she was a woman. together, they decided they could hold their own convention when they return home and form a society to advocate for the rights of women. these leaders, at a time in history when women did not speak in public, use extraordinary scale, networks, their friends, articulate like-minded women and their passion to organize this 1848 seneca rights women rights convention. it took them eight years to make good on the promise. she had six children during that time and elizabeth cady stanton had seven. most of us know in 1869, the first u.s. suffrage law in the nation was passed. i will talk about jeanette rankin later. she is the western connection in wyoming. suffrage often thought about as east moving west, did not happen that way. we have to be clear and proud of that as of western women. the national women's hall of fame records there are 200 men and women who did the most to advance suffrage. they contribute

halek did not like lincoln, and he certainly did not like stanton. do what you are going to do, talk to me, i will take care of it. >> in context, grant is replacing halek. halek becomes a glorified chief of staff, a secretary, a conduit for orders from washington. there is that resentment. halek had come from the west to save the union, and he had not done it. grant comes from the west to save the union. halek is saying watch out for this snake pit. that is part of what is going on. john: that is exactly right. one thing i may disagree with slightly, halek really does not -- he does believe what is being said, but he likes the idea that he no longer has to make decisions. grant can say general told me to tell you to shape up. >> on my 7000 mile car trip, i stopped in starkville, mississippi, to visit good university.he they took me with great pride to your center. i want to say how marvelous it was to get this glimpse of grant. i recommend everyone to go. i think having it deep in the heart of mississippi shows the historical restitution and looking

stanton is very important, because it was a hospital base. wherever the battles are in the eastern theater, men start being brought in on the trains. little towns just built up with cemeteries. they have all the waiting graves when the trains roll in. the richmond train connects with the valley turnpike, so they get pieces of news. one of my main characters is joseph, who keeps a diary throughout the war. he learned not to believe much of what he read in the papers. back then, people didn't have faith in the media. it is kind of hard for us to imagine. [laughter] throughout the war, he is monitored the news for reports from fix for an richmond pennsylvania. , the richmond papers, like their pennsylvania counterparts, selected articles from the enemy press that presented the enemy in the worst light and the enemy trying to present its own in the exactly worst light. it is like a hall of mirrors, not unlike today, except they only have one medium of the newspapers. one great thing about the places i chose is that chambersburg has a strong democ

"do not fail to have an interview with this most extraordinary and intelligent black man." later that month, delaney was appointed a major, thus becoming the highest-ranking black line officer in the union army. occasionally, lincoln invited african-americans to the white house to discuss public affairs. in augus

benno: i should mention that andrew johnson was impeached for trying to fire the secretary of war, stanton, and in doing that, he violated an act that said that certain positions, including the secretary of war, the person holding that office could not be removed by the president without the advice and consent of the senate. that is itself plainly unconstitutional. akhil: the tenure of office act. benno: yes, because a president cannot be an executive in office unless he can fire those who work for him. akhil: and washington insisted on that. the first congress agreed with him. benno: right, and you cannot have it any other way unless you have an executive. there is one very large consequence to the argument that philip and akhil have, with which i completely agree, that impeachment is a legal proceeding and not purely political. the essence of a legal proceeding is that like cases have to be decided like. so the grounds of impeachment have to be -- if you impeach a president whom you don't like, who is not of your party, with whom you have areas disagreements, you have to be prepared to s

stanton, i think. in violation of the tenure of office act which congress passed saying if they can from somebody, they have to unconfirmed them. he was impeached for filing that law -- for violating that law and then the supreme court said johnson was right, you cannot have a law that prevents the president from firing somebody, even if he has been confirmed by the senate. but wasas resigned fired early and we accept that as good constitutional law. the johnson impeachment was absolutely wrong. the clinton impeachment was wrong. the only impeachment that was correct never came to fruition, het is nixon, because engaged in destruction of evidence, paying hush money to .itnesses, a woman and telling his subordinates to lie to the fbi, independent crimes and not within the president's authority under article 2. that was the only appropriate case for impeachment and he would have been impeached had he not resigned. host: is there a concise definition for absorption of justice -- obstruction of justice? gu

in that book he features this quotech it's from m stanton evans who was a conservative activist, worked on the goldwater campaign, and did not particularly like richard nuxen. "i was never for nixon until watergate" keep in mind nixon resigns in disgrace, his approval rate drops. he does have 10-25 percent of the country on his side. i worked at the presidential nixon library and museum for nearly four years and saw people who actively tried to rehabilitate his legacy. but i think the quote matters when explaining our current political moment. george schulz who played an important role in blocking the irs order, the enemy's list project also plays a role in blocking another one of nixon's orders. starting in 1970 after the invasion of cambodia, richard nixon comes up with a plan to punish mit and other universities that have rampant anti-war demonstrations. he's particularly mad at university presidents who allow the demonstrations to happen. or give the students a week off to go down to washington, d.c. to protest the war in vietnam. so starting in the spring of 1970 nixon comes up wit

my grandparents went to the eminent law firm of stanton and staten created a guardianship trust for my mother who was then the owner of this real estate because her parents were ineligible to on the property. so, now, you've heard a discussion about birthright citizenship, for some reason. my grandparents were illegally year and united dates, they had their alien identification cards, my grandfather referred to it as a green card, there no longer green but this is with it used to look like. this is a pivotal case. he was born on a home in downtown san francisco he left and went to visit relatives in china but the third time he did this when he came back, he was refused entry and told that you were born here, so? you are still chinese, you look chinese, you speak chinese, you eat chinese food and you work in a chinese industry and you can't come in because you're not a citizen. you have no claim to be in the united states. the supreme court ruled that the 14th amendment of the constitution clearly states that if you are born here, you are a citizen. interestingly, an observation was mad
