polk home and museum in tennessee. he has also served as a summer intern with the president martin van buren project and published two articles,en slaved and entrenched in the white house historical association, also in the theta delta journal of history. he has an essay forthcoming from the university of tennessee press. finally he contributed research and writing to amy s. greenberg's book, first lady, the world of -- first lady sara polk. the title of his presentation today is enslaved and entrenched, the complex life of polk. >>> all right. in a 1952 novel invisible man, it opens with an unnamed narrator proclaiming i am an invisible man. a man of substance, flesh and bone, fiber and liquids. i am invisible. because people refuse to see me. when they approach me, they see only their surroundings. indeed, everything and anything except me. now, for all intents and purposes, mr. polk is an invisible man. which struck me as kind of odd. he was a man enslaved by james polk. now, it's not as if he's some hidden figure t

and so he had been in murray krkr county, tennessee. he moved to hardeman county, tennessee. by 1840, he's in phillips county, arkansas. i'm pulling some of this straight from that, you know, polk correspondence. and according to those notes, okay, he lends this $9,000 to james k. polk then he kind of not so subtly hints around that he would like an appointment with thomas polk with the post office in missouri or somewhere. this is where i get a little hung up because i'm not sure, his son is named thomas, there's a bunch of other thomas polks who he's trying to do favors for here. but the point is, that's the network that james k. polk is plugged into it, right? it's land speculation, it's slaves, it's political power. i'm kind of giving sort of the epilogue of one of the presentations we heard this morning about the expansion of land holdings and consolidation of power by the polk family. in earlier years. he died -- stingy bill died in october 1848 buried in phillips county, arkansas. that plantation is inherited, you know, by his children and they -- at least one of them

they sold else and skins in east tennessee and near present day memphis. hunting was also a deeply embedded gender product this within both nations. without the opportunity to supply game, indian men would be forced to labor completely and agricultural pursuits, work considered only fit for women. leaders were aware of how they coveted their land and dashed to treaty unless offering a higher price. americans were official to have three sessions between 1805 and 1806 but only after offering relatively large sums to both nations and distributing valuable tracks of land and payments to native elites as inducements for operations. >> he even attended treaty negotiations with cherokee nation in person. so interested was he in the outcome. again, the yellow portion above the duck river was in 1805 treaties and the land below was an 1806 treaty. >> the investment had finally paid off as a family benefited directly from these. immigrating to tennessee over the final treaty he settled his wife and children including young games, on the north side of the duck river.

tennessee state got even more power. the new states congressional delegates allied with north carolinians to advocate for cherokee and chickasaw. the u.s. federal system provided whiteness garlands could more directly pressure access to the territory. they held economic significance for cherokee and chickasaw's. that was three number of years. there was which supplies of wild game. at the chickasaw bluffs. hunting was deeply invented gender practice within both nations. without the opportunity to supply game to their families, they would be forced to live in an agricultural pursuit. leaders were well aware of the duck river land. ultimately american officials were able to rest three sessions in the cherokee nation's between 1805 and 1806. only after large nation. william polk attended the negotiations in person. you can see the sessions on the map. the yellow portion above was in 1805 and the land below it was 1806. the investment in the position played off. as they benefited from these land sessions. he said it, the lan

still count on tennessee's support in 44. although jackson initially wavered in his the port of polk's vice presidential chances by the next month he was back to reassuring van buren that he needed polk to win tennessee. when the tennessee general assembly met later that fall, polk pressured allies to support his vice presidential shot. his strategy was to have tennessee democrats endorse them for the vice presidency but not to issue a ticket. the implication was if van buren wanted to make sure that polk was his running mate. the tennessee democratic convention that met in november 43 -- van buren remained the front-runner in many democrats minds. two weeks into the new year van buren wrote jackson, the prospects now are that we shall have a very harmonious convention. in respect to the presidential candidates and it is quite certain that the question of the vice presidency will discuss and decide upon in the very best spirit. this should be and i have no doubt we will be satisfied. if van buren looked carefully he would hav

now to the film, tennessee johnson. johnson obviously the focus -- in fact -- doesn't even appear and johnson is played by van heflin who had just won an oscar and the film acknowledges that its medium requires taking civil liberties. for instance, even though johnson didn't appear in the trial in the film he comes in and gives a defense. the film produces drama by pitting johnson against stevens who is played in a wheelchair by lionel barrymore who is perfectly cast after just having played the villain in it's a wonderful life and the screenwriter by the way had written the screenplay because he was good at creating monsters. these are three different works, they have similarities, for kennedy, what was at stake was the checks and balances of government. the independence of the executive office as its coordinate branch of government was on trial. dixon agrees with that, he has a chapter called the supreme past and he says almost exactly the same as kennedy, if a partisan majority in congress could remove the executive

east tennessee was really a whig heavily politically active state. east tennessee was not a democratic stronghold but he turned it into a democratic stronghold because he was the epitome of a democrat. andrew johnson, his hero was andrew jackson. his other hero was thomas jefferson. so states rights, protection of slavery, another thing he is also known for, and he was also a slave owner himself. he owned over -- nine slaves? prof. slap: 10 to 12. johnson played up the apprenticeship, that he was treated as a slave. there was a difference in actuality. in his mind, he conflated the two. that is one of the reasons why attackeden -- he planters, the wealthy slaveowners who he sees looking down on the poor whites like him even when he becomes wealthy. he still identifies and sees himself as a poor white. that guides a lot of his philosophy. a lot of what he does in his life is that self-image of being the poor hardscrabble white person pulling himself up. i talked about how he did not like planters. he viewed himself even before the war and certainly wh

apprentice is to the frontier tennessee. johnson continued to make some speeches from the white house. all too often he spoke and permitted hecklers. you can see why i need to float a little bit from this. andrew johnson never learned of the president of the united states must function as a party leader. all make up his mind he appears to all ideas. when he made a decision he defended his course with all. he was no longer sympathetic to the harsh petulance. publicity and persuasion could create the following. after noting he concludes by insisting that perhaps before the street so there's need a even graver charge. i am going to start drawing to my conclusion. one of the points i've been trying to make is while the dismissal didn't originate in the reconstruction it is not an accident that the law of impeachment rose during reconstruction which is by a radical. to be sure in the post trump world more scholars see the political factors. what is the failure to make a case that has johnson's conviction. in the middle of this es
