at first, the north vietnamese resisted. they wouldn't play that game because they wouldn't want to do something with what the russians and chinese would wonder what is going on. then, finally, they did. john: i had been responsible for finding the safe house we would meet at along with the cia. he gives me a few francs out of hundred his pocket to buy caviar. because we are going to serve caviar during the breaks. i told the governor, enemies do not like caviar, they light sweet things. they like cakes. so we got to the tea break and there was all this caviar. no one in the vietnamese delegation it the caviar. kt: how did the nixon administration deal with this? winston: they knew the frustrations. and the history. there was an attempt to see when -- whether we could start secret talks with the vietnamese. again, recognizing that only secret talks would make success. in may, the president made his first speech which was how tough the north vietnamese were. the efforts he had already made, sort of setting the stage for what w

we are looking at showers in the north. further south it's quiet. more showers will come today. they will be sweeping across the bay area and out in the pacific some moisture here. very light a couple hundredths to maybe quarter inch in the north bay for the wettest location. 40s and 50s if you are outside for an early egg hunt and those of you celebrating easter, a cool afternoon, and breezy with 50s on the coast. we look for a cool evening with the rain departing but yet there's a stronger wetter system arriving tomorrow. details on that coming up. carolyn. >>> lisa, thank you. california's drought emergency has some central valley residents upset that water is being diverted from crops to fish. the u.s. bureau of reclamation has released large amounts of water from a lake downstream into the stan isla river to reach young salmon. farmers are unhappy sag it's needed for crops. others say if water can be used for yards, it should be used for fish. >> i think fish have a higher priority than people watering their lawns. >>

over an inch expected in the north bay. over an inch for palo alto and same for us here in the south bay. meanwhile walnut creek, 0.8. and not our only chance for rain this week. we'll get a new thunderstorms tonight into tomorrow. midsection of the week, temperatures stay steady starting to climb a little bit with another chance for rain as we meet back here on friday. so overall, april thundershowers looking pretty good at least for the first couple week. and you know what they bring, april showers bring what? >> may flowers. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. >> i love that. a little elementary school rhyme. all right. wanted to show you the metering lights at the bay brink because we actually have a stall. an earlier stall, big rig actually stalled out making its way over to the san francisco side. but it stalled and now we're not only looking at the typical slowing, but an added slowdown just because crews are trying to get the big rig off of the bridge and clear the lanes. let's show you the maps. you can see

if the owner goes up to north and crabbs the fugitive he can take them back. that wasn't that easy to do although there were owners and agencies in this health, slave hunters trying to grab fugitives in the north but were people who resisted them. in 1850 the federal government passes a new law the fugitive slave act which makes it a federal responsibility. the federal government will now send marshals into northern states to grab fugitives. they set up a whole new position office, the federal commissioner who will hear these cases and send them back. it even says the army can be used if there's a danger of a right or something. they will send in the army. this is a strict law very draconian, strict punishments to people who help fugitive slaves or even people who refused to help the government and capturing them. it led to a lot of opposition in the north on the basis, it's ironic, a states' rights. the south demanding federal action to overturn local procedures, local laws in the north. it's probably the most vigorous expansion of federal power over the stat

i don't think the white north was ever really committed? . you can never really retreat from anything that you were embracing. i don't think that the white north caret about lack people. they will embrace emancipation because it helps defeat the rebels and renomination, but they are not willing to go beyond that very far. >> there is a retreat in a sense of trusting -- the running of their own affairs. and it -- this trust gives way because of fatigue and opposition. in which whites are premised violence creates chaos. >> african are going to be republican voters. they are going to change the balance of power, so of course that is resistance and racism in the north. >> i think we also need to differentiate between slavery and rights. slavery had allowed the confederacy to continue for as long as it did because ending slavery was a way of punishing the south. the 13th, 14th and even the 15th amendments, we need to stand that -- understand that for many white northerners, this was seen as punishment. they are not necessarily on board with black

kt: how did you contact the north vietnamese? you were not going to the state department which would've been -- professor smyser: we were going to embassies. that is a diplomatic channel and we do not want to use a diplomatic channel. we used -- which was an army edition. that is not formal state department. kt: 1969, really nothing, a majority speech, the talks were really going nowhere and in the fighting was escalating. and in 1970, what happened in 1970? winston: there were three meetings. they do not get anywhere. this led us -- first let me say we had ongoing secretly started in 1969 a bombing in cambodia along the border with vietnam. kt: that was part of the original nixon decision? winston: part of the decision. the problem of vietnam is they have sanctuaries in cambodia and laos which were untouchable. they would come across the border in go back over or go down the trail. it was a very tough fight. to have the sanctuaries made it harder. we bombed cambodia secretly only close to the border. it was secret. when this leak

for the north, the union is not abstract, it is concrete. now if you sit down in alabama virginia, how are you going to take to this rhetoric coming from the yankees up north? what are you going to respond by saying? >> it was not treason. jennifer murray: right. it wasn't treason. so what is the south going to do? switching gears. basalt is going to start to -- the south is going to start to create their own constellation of civil war memories. and the south will create and perpetuate the very same notion of the lost cause. so reconciliation is the dominant theme of post-civil war america, but it is not monolithic. it is malleable, it is changing. and when you take union veterans and confederate veterans and you stack their memories together, you get this very complicated , colorful tapestry of civil war memories. everybody remembers the war differently, particularly in the northern and southern divide. it is quite obvious. this is relative to what we talked about last time when you all read out of james foster 's book "ghosts of the confed

racism ran deep in the north. northern authorities claimed that african-american men did not possess the attributes of patriotism and courage and turned them away but kept faith that the war was their golden moment and when regiments got their chance to fight, they proved their medal at dozens of engagements. the regiments at appomattox had seen considerable action. the eighth usct for example survived a bloody initiation into combat in florida in 1864 and joined in the grinding warfare of the over land campaign in virginia and manned the trenched through the sea of petersberg and entering that city when it fell in early april. and keenly aware after giving proof of their courage, the march toward equality could still be turned back so long as powerful confederate armies were still in the field. the confederate government viewed black union soldiers as rebellious slaves liable to be executed if captured. and many white northerners viewed this as a experiment testing blacks for citizenship and many of the whites hop

you couldn't get from alabama to the north. that was too far so most of these people are from maryland district of columbia or virginia virginia. with slavery is a little different from the deep south although it still slavery obviously and it's just a variety of experiences. no two escapes are the same. now to personal experiences are the same. the one thing that is constant is the desire for freedom. when gay asked people why they escapes some gave specific reasons. my master treated me so brutally brutally. often they say my wife was sold or i was afraid i was going to be sold and i heard my master was losing money and had to sell the slaves but many just that i was tired of being a slave to i wanted to be free. so it's this colliders scope of experiences and impressions that struck me. by the way let me say the record of fugitives is now on line. we have digitalized it at columbia university with a transcript. anyone who wants to portrait and i recommend it to anyone interested in our history just google gay record of fugiti

what would it mean not only if the north and the south were unified?what would it mean if black americans, 4 million of them, actually had chances to be full americans. so from lee's perspective, reconstruction was a violation of the bargain violation of the bargain struck here. a bargain that would have restored things to as close as they would have been in 1861 as possible. that's one reason that the memory of this place has not been stable. people did not immediately flock to this as a kind of shrine that it is today. african-americans celebrated this place first because of the role of the united states colored troops here. the white southerners were much more ambivalent. this was not a place that white southerners flocked to. that's one reason that appomattox did not become a national park site until 1950. so it takes a long time for people to decide that what this place means, and it may not be an accident that it's the wake of world war ii. it takes them that long to decide, yes this is the place that we want to remember the best that america is.
