this cartoon's adjusted sumner had deserted his principles, but sumner, who had no sense of humor, did not understand it at all. he said, what did preston brooks have to do with the attack on me? it was not mortal man, it was slavery itself who struck the blow. that kind of sense of the abstract -- in december when the congress opened, sumner offered a resolution to propose that all of the markings of american victories against the confederacy, he stripped from the flags the regiments of the united states. in those days, when you think of chancellors field, vicksburg, gettysburg, you discovered that these would be put on the banner of those regimens that had been there, and now sumner was calling for these to be removed. as he argued, keeping alive the memory of a civil war amongst the people is something barbarous. it should be said that sumner was on very good ground. you look at the battle flags of great britain, and you find no kind of insignias of the battle of germantown, for example, or the battle of bunker hill, or any of those kinds of battles, because, in fact, the united sta

has sumner deserted the cause? he has not deserted the cause. but he goes right to the heart of maybe how we ought to see reconstruction. and that's what i'm going to try to explain today. my duty here pretty much is to give you a basic overview of reconstruction and how people see it. i'm going to try to do exactly that as best i can out there. for in fact reconstruction, the further after the war it went became more permeated with this vision of reconciliation, where all people who served on either side were in some sense equally upright, equally brave, equally moral, equally good. by 1913, you can have cartoons like this that show the re-enlistment, the dead rising to meet with their comrades again in the great war in the world beyond. and this sense of reconciliation was made greater because most people assumed that the south was new. that it had become something different from what it had been before. a land of factories and water mills, a land of diversified agriculture and of relatively patronizing but harmless relationships between white

that was sumner's warning. for those who wonder about keeping alive the memory of the civil war, one last epilogue sumner's back -- resolution was not the first time he did it. in 1865, when the question came of painting the united states capital, sumner offered a resolution that no painting in the capital would commemorate this war. this is the man even then fighting and battling for the end of slavery, fighting and battling for the right of black people everywhere to vote. what he proposed instead was that there should be a civil war painting that commemorated america's advanced towards equality. four years after his death, that painting, the painting by carpenter of the emancipation proclamation being read to lincoln's cabinet, would be put in the capital and dedicated to and to thef freedom cause of both reunion and equal rights. what i say right here is in fact we have to remember that, not simply to look at the past for messages about the present, but to remember it in many ways, as they saw it, and to re

olessa: this is the sumner tunnel, shut down after a deadly crash. one person is dead, two others have life-threatening injuries. the crash happened around 3:15 this morning near the 93 ramp. the accident actually happened by 185 but it is shut down right now by government center, so keep in mind that it is closed in both directions. you are urged to take either if you are heading into boston, keep that in mind. in addition to that, a couple construction problems, 93 south is a give and along 128, then again by route 2. trains and buses starting on schedule. randy: new trouble for olympic swimmer ryan lochte. he's been charged in brazil for filing a false report. it's unlikely lochte would go back to brazil to face the charges he could send just a lochte made up a story about being robbed at a gas station in rio earlier this month. he now admits he sparked a confrontation with security guards. if convicted, lochte could face up to six months in jail or pay a fine. emily: new concern in florida after another case of zika virus transmitted by a mosquit

he's so respected and he's such an ally of senator charles sumner that when sumner passes, shortly before his bill moves through the house and senate, elliott goes and delivers a eulogy at faneuil hall in boston, which is also widely picked up in the northern press. he leaves the house, actually, mid-congress in his second term and he goes back to south carolina because he cares so much about state politics and he's watching the way things are trending toward the end of reconstruction and seeing a lot of abuses against a black political participation in voting rights and he becomes the speaker of the south carolina state assembly for a brief period. and later goes on to serve at the very tail end of reconstruction as the attorney general for south carolina. afterwards, though, his story typifies so many of the members. once reconstruction ends, here you have a guy who is a great speaker, has a law background, sets up a law practice but he gets almost no business and he's forced to move out of state. and eventually in the mid 1880s, he dies in poverty. and that's, sadly, the story of so ma

in the senate, people like charles sumner and benjamin wade. and they really drove the agenda and pushed the lincoln administration to not only prosecute the war more vigorously but also to have a reconstruction after the war that was one that was not so lenient toward southern states and was going to ensure that political rights were extended to african-americans. >> well, so the war ends in 1865, but how do you get from 1865 to the first african-american members of congress? because it's not -- doesn't happen right that day. >> doesn't happen right away, but the -- the role of radicals, if anything, becomes even more assertive after the end of the war. after lincoln's assassinated president johnson takes over and has an even more lenient view than lincoln of how the southern states are going to be readmitted and he's pushed constantly by the radical republicans. and in a very short period of time, roughly four or five years, they pass a series of constitutional amendments and also laws that bring about the equality of african-americans in the

it's sumner's troops who will cross the river down below us, enter town and attack the confederates at the infamous stone wall where there will be slaughter. during that operation sumner is in this building directing the movement of his troops while they're doing that. after the battle is over, in fact, even before the battle is over, union wounded are going to start pouring back across the river. at this point chatham will become one of many buildings in the area used as a field hospital. there were hundreds of soldiers who passed through here over the course of the next few weeks. so many they couldn't fit them all inside. they had to put some of the soldiers in tents outside because they couldn't fit them into the building. the surgeons worked tirelessly day and night in the far room of the building doing all sorts of different operations including amputations. now, they were -- they had a professional medical corps here, but they also had a few people who weren't in the corps helping them out. one in particular was clara barton, the founder of the red cross, but she did that after

this would be a win for sumner and daughter sherri putting her in control of sumner's trust as well as viacom's board naming five new directors. but he is not totally losing. sources tell us he takes home $72 million in severance. that's on top of the $491 million in total compensation he's brought home from his ten years running viacom. that number is particularly stunning considering viacom's underperformance of the s&p 500 as well as of cbs. now, focus is shifting towards who will become viacom's permanent ceo and recombined with cbs a decade after the two companies split and whether cbs ceo moonvis could run the combined company. we're awaiting the official release of via coas well as from 8k. sources tell me that lawyers are still finalizing the details. back over to you. >> julia, thank you. for more and reaction of the latest happenings, former executive jason hirschhorn joins us on the phone. thank you for joining us. the point you're making, operationally what viacom is doing to change to the environment is the very kind of thing that will keep driving young viewers away. how
