>> stephen douglas is so amazing. >> 6-foot 4 inches or 4-foot 6 inches. [laughter] been so let's talk about teddy roosevelt he has an experience nobody wants to go through and describe what happened through the state legislature and the beautiful young woman that alice's child is born. an hour later tuesday must come home immediately your mother is dying and also alice. forty-nine years old. she got typhoid for then he goes back home immediately his brother meets him and says there is a curse on this house. she died at 3:00 o'clock and then 12 hours later she died. then he said he had to get away so previously just to think he may go every now and that would then essentially became a cowboy of the badly 15 hours a h whole activity overpowers thought he could sleep at night but that was the best educational asset he could haveas developed with his love of the land and open space spaces. >> so his first daughter was named alice. why would he not mention her name or ignore her? >> he had a very acutely or attitude which was once his wife died he cannot even

he has this debate with stephen douglas.and he still losing twice is willing to try for the presidency and the rest as they say is history. >> so he was engaged to her and he broke off the relationship and why did he decide to go back? you might talk about his earlier girlfriend who died. >> the hardest thing for lincoln was that death surrounded him. his mom died when he was only nine years old point his only sister died in childbirth. the hard thing was when his mother died, she didn't say we will be in another world. she simply said abraham i'm going away from you and i shall never return. that's when he began to be assessed with what happens to us after we die. when hebegan to think , if i can only accomplish something bitter maybe somebody will remember me after i die and they will still be telling the story of me. it was true i think of people who studied this more and more. when he first met mary, i think he really did care greatly for her. she loved poetry, drama, she came from an educated, wealthy family. she was on

so even though he was a great debater with stephen douglas, he would prepare almost everything he everd to the public, fearful he might say something that might be taken the wrong way. so he could certainly learn from that in a different way from tweeting when you get angry in a moment of anger or ire. >> and yet we are talking almost 200 years later. and this is a completely different communications era, and president trump's supporters would say it's the very ability to use the language no matter its shape or form and the medium that has propelled him to this success. >> well, that's a very fair comment because i think each president uses the media of his moment to an extreme if they are doing it well. lincoln's was the written word. your speech would be printed in full in the newspaper. so having that extraordinary ability with language helped him. when teddy roosevelt came along at the turn of the 20th century, his short, punchy language was able to get into the mass market newspapers. fdr had the voice for radio. reagan and jfk had the looks and the ability to talk on television.

stephen douglas who owned a lot of property in chicago. that would benefit him. it almost looks the know. i think they are playing for their teams in that sense. you have this back-and-forth tug-of-war or we are going to fight -- organize the nebraska territory so we can separate -- subsidize that railroad with a land-grant. this as athink about spatial enterprise. the government in washington, d.c. -- imagine the government trying to exert its authority in the wind river mountains of wyoming. in the 1860's. what you need is to have spatial control of enough, be able to get people out there as quickly as possible. building a transcontinental world road and creating grass -- bringing the army out to patrol andcure the right-of-way then getting settlers after as much as possible. the homestead act is intended to create these little notes of american power all over the west. the railroad creates the route for them. lacked,g like the more which is always an afterthought when we talk about the big legislation of 1862, that creates these little centers of state authori

in 1858,es later lincoln engaged in a series of debates with his senate opponent stephen douglas. forddressed the audience one hour. the opponent took one hour and a half to reply. first debate are spent another half hour to respond. people disagreed, sometimes vehemently, but they listened patiently, and they learned about opposing arguments, that sometimes messy process. notsystem of government is self-executing, it relies on wisdom and self-restraint, and the democratic republic, liberty is protected by cultural norms as well as constitutional tests. theodore roosevelt observed the survival of a republic depends on the character of the average citizen. he said the average citizen must be a good citizen if our republic is to succeed. debate and disagreements about public policy and political leadership are essential to building good citizens. the question for today's board, how to respond when collagen ministers seek to prohibit or punish protected by the .onstitution students hear about different perspectives. and they learn how to decide just.s true, right and to do that prope
