the second day. that is what that plaque represents. a union surgeon by the name of crawford was standing next to lincoln, probably right here, and was shot in the leg. that is when lincoln was ordered down. lincoln, six feet four and his hat made a pretty tempting target. the legend has grown up that it was holmes that told lincoln to get down, you fool and instantly regretted saying it. i have a whole chapter in the book about that incident. i came to the conclusion that that was an impossible story. it wasn't published until 1928. supposedly, holmes had been telling a privately but you always had to be suspicious about something that comes out well after the fact. i have gone back to letters that were written at the time and memoirs. yes, lincoln did stand here and yes, and someone did yell at him to come down. more than likely it was general horatio wright. he didn't say get down, you full. ool. it is an interesting story and not true. early is at the gates over here outside fort stevens. with the capitol dome in his sights. finallyhe day b

i have the solemn sacred earth -- oath to defend the union. ut now he will enjoy a the benefits. you don't get involved but the former presidents of course, are too important to stay off the sidelines.r2$ixxm9 the presidents were not even to return to the city of washington. what else is there to route to read during? [laughter] so shots are fired initiating hostilities against the unit is states. so filmore who supported the clinton compromise encourages people to join the union army doesn't matter who started the fight has been fired get behind the president. van deere will do the same. pay perry close attention to movement of the troops and the developments he encouraged young men to restoring. even buchanan to watch so southern states seceded should be following policies and in lincoln's position but then to see the old amid indications with lincoln and he try of stinking he will vindicate his own course of action but this will not be that case. buchanan will right the important op-ed to talk about the oath of the army officers. franklin p

the chicago teachers union, we just did a class action with the core caucus. what they really push is membership engagement. they're actually a type of a union run from the bottom up. the membership feels engageded. they feel like they're each political actors. all the teachers in chicago, if you want to have an informed discussion about education and reform policy, don't go to washington. go and speak to at chicago teacher. that is because of the efforts of the chicago teachers union. beyond that, they're building links with the community. so if a union member has a pothole if her lawn, that's union problem. you know, there's not just narrow bread and butter business unionism. there is really a vision, connected it o that. and also another issue, i think the afl-cio and other unions are better on the environment, a little bit on the environment and way better on immigration. now in the '80s when you saw closings and what the not, a love the rhetoric is buy american cars. don't ship them overseas. it plays with rights to reign. nowadays the unions are much bett

i was in the union. i was in the railroad union. all the railroads are union. everybody is in the union. we all pay dues for collective bargaining and political action. question is are the fees i am , are theythe railroad legal? guest: this decision is only about home care workers. there are 26,000 in illinois. only applies to homecare workers. there could be other groups that make the same argument that they are not public employees. thehost: those would make full fee is saying that they are paying for somebody who isn't it this is mike. he is in wisconsin. good morning. union, they are governed by federal laws. why i don't understand is everybody complains about unions. the labor came into being, i know what is wrong with this country. 13 colonies formed a union. i will listen to your response. host: wisconsin is an interesting case. they got rid of collective bargaining in the public sector in wisconsin. it was a really big deal. the union i mentioned earlier, their union dues dropped 60%. knows what is going to happen when a decision like this comes down to

i spent a lot of time looking at the actual returns. union losses were closer to 3,500 during the first big wave. during the course of the entire day they ended up getting into the 7,000 range. a full day of fighting. >> 5,000, 6,000 casualties in 30 minutes. >> i've written several articles about it. grant has unfairly been characterized as a butcher. this attack will rank somewhere as the seventh or eighth bloodiest of the war. >> i think the fourth in the overall campaign? certainly not number one. grants believed that the federal army was demoralized. we talked about the changing nature of warfare and he was surprised that the confederates wouldn't come out of their works to fight. he misread this entirely. they weren't demoralized. you look at spotsylvania, there are reasons for grant to believe he has opportunities. in many ways he was fighting the way lee had always fought it. it was about possibilities and cold harbor in hindsight was certainly an unmitigated disaster. but what led to it was some reasonable, sound thinking on grant's

will allow new slaves to come into the union. they will support, not support slaveholders whose slaves rebel on the high seas and the like. they believed they could surround the slave states with what they called a cordon of freedom, till in a popular metaphor of the day, slavery is like a scorpio scorpion surrouny fire would ultimately sting itself to death, that they would restart the process of state-by-state abolition that end in 1804 win new jersey abolished slavery. at the time folks thought the process would continue. it had been abolished state by state by state in the immediate aftermath of the revolution, and after new jersey did in 80 metaphor, people assumed the next it would be delaware and maryland and the like. but it didn't. by the time it got to be 1860, 65 years since any state of all is slavery. the point of the scorpion sting was to restart the process and so that's what i'm going to do. i'm trying to say you can't understand what goes on during the civil war unless you understand the project that abraham linco

difference criterion something about the latest agreement that ukraine signed with the european union and whether the majority of people in ukraine actually support that and let me i just don't want to both of us to be tracking that back and forth because i don't think it will lead us anywhere because it's already a done deal as far as russia is concerned the association of crimea whether it's you know affiliated with russia or ukraine is already a done deal for moscow i mean this is something that. you know is pointless to discuss as far as the kremlin is concerned but i would like to ask you about the ukrainian pointless for us and we will discuss it as long as the situation prevails . and i'm sure if mosco if most who decides that it should be a shadow a permanent trigger in our relationship so that you know your position the one which is unfortunate is a ruler let. me just i don't know our relationship and i think the way these conditions of power or the who was carried out in ukraine would also be you know casting a very very long shadow in our relationship but if i can bring you

won't allow new slaves to come into the union. they will not support slaveholders whose slaves rebel on the high seas and the like, and they believed they could surround the slave states with what they call the cordon of freedom, until in the popular metaphor of the day, slavery is like a scorpion surrounded by fire would ultimately sting itself to death. if they would restart the process of state by state abolition, at the time folks thought the process would continue. it had been abolished state by state in the immediate aftermath, and people assumed the next state will be delware and maryland and the like, but it didn't. it's been 55-60 years since the state abolished slavery, and the point of "to the scorpion's sting" was to restart the process, and so that is what i'm trying to do. i'm trying to say, you can't understand what goes on during the civil war unless you understand the project that abraham lincoln and the republicans came into the war, intending to do. what he meant when he said he wanted to put slavery on a course

and if you could weigh in to elect your boss you would, and so the bosses and the labor unions and thes are trying to elect a democrat to the governor who is more sympathetic to the reasoning when they go to the collective g bargaining table before the legislature. >> and gary b., business as usual? >> i am shocked that i agree with chuck. i think that the strategy is brilliant. look, john, i laid it out. if you have someone from a political party knocking on your do door, you throw them out, but fit is a teacher, you invite them in and that is right, you had my kid a couple of years ago, and so, you know, you are right. whoever said it, look, they are on their own time, and they pay the dues to the union and we obviously know what their pr predereliction is, and i don't think it is going to help one iota but if that is how they want to spend the summer, great strategy. >> but tracy, should younger teachers be jumping in on the bandwagon? >> well, i think that they should stay far away from this, because they of all teachers should be demanding tenure pay be abolished and the at the en

thus, the battle of franklin commenced. one union siege commented, it was worth a year of one's lifetime to witness the marshaling in advance of the rebel line of battle. emerging from the woods in the most perfect order, two corps in front and one division in reserve. nothing could be more suggestive of strength and discipline and resistless power than was this long, great line advancing over the plain. the grand scene of the soldiers marching in line in that late afternoon turned chaotic as the confederates attacked again and again to the point where blood actually ran in the ditch and in places saturated our clothing where we were lying down, remembered one confederate soldier. bullets shot across the landscape, according to another, with one unceasing volley. confederate general patrick clay burn personally led an assault that briefly broke the union position in the fight near the gin house near the easternmost point of the union position. hood ordered clayburn at the start of the battle, commanding him, general, form your divisi

we're trying to accommodate the theatre crowd we have if you restaurant in the union square. with regard to our outreach we've reached outd out to district 67 probably our preliminary reach out was for the sfpd and the union square public policy and the union square bid and in the general neighbors in our immediate properties adjacent to us. let's see what else can i tell you that would be of interest. we've received a this evening the recommendations from the police department for approvals with regard to the noise automobile noise outside and the security personnel and a eloquent security system and have agreed to comply with the thirty day minimum that's no issue and naturally as a good neighbor we'll remove graffiti hopefully not in union square. we request or the police requested a security guard application we're a restaurant preliminary we have a right-of-way capacity we're a bar but we anticipate this house of request for the place of entertainment request a number of people want to come to us and buy out so in the capacity of the wedding party the jp morgan they want

the uncoordinated union battle started to move. this was no parade ground spectacle, such as at fredericksburg and gettysburg. the terrain, vegetation, and ers pushedthe southern formations out of lines. simultaneous attacks were supposedly to be at three point with columns. yet concentrated, broke the assault and lines before they could make contact with opponents. the battle quickly disintegrated into dozens of small onslaughts with regiments acting alone. one division broke out of line swamp thatsong -- was on nobody's map. those who survive the night never forgotten what they experienced. an observer stated that the narrow columns of attacking federals were shredded "much as a sharpened pencil." the surgeon wrote on all sides, booming cannon and rattling small arms tell us that the angel of death was hovering just over our head. when the north carolina brigades explained, the musket ran down down our lines from left to right like they keys of a piano. joined in the wild music of the hour. from the start, the battle assumed the c

into lunch invasions of the union from 1862 and 1863. it was a small city on a well use and familiar transportation corridor and southern franklin county, the most exposed on the southern pennsylvania border. i am paraphrasing here to chambersburg. i did not selected as having more merit or claim than others, but because it's that within the limits of the country cover by my command and was brought more immediately to my attention. so in other words, early chose chambersburg because it was there. the more controversial issue then the choice of chambersburg was the motivation for burning the city itself. beenerners had never adverse to destroying towns and cities as long as they were northern towns and cities. tennessee confederate andy maybe of example advocated the use hard work tactics. in a letter to her friend in may be1861, i only pray god may with us, she wrote, to give us strength to conquer them, to exterminate them, to lay waste to every northern city, town, and village, to destroy them utterly. words of a teenage girl. jefferson

however, when it came time to pay the soldiers, they, the union army renege on that offer. and they were only going to pay the african-american soldiers $10 a month, not the $13 a month they were offered. we have in the case here an extraordinary letter from corporal henry james gooding to president abraham lincoln complaining about that disparity in pay. and he says quite pointedly to president lincoln, "are we soldiers or are we laborers?" as so many others would argue in the years thereafter, arguing for equal pay for equal work. then he goes on to remind president lincoln that -- as soon as the north had opened its armies up to enlistment by african-americans, the south had tried to inhibit that by saying that any african-american soldiers who were caught would be killed outright. summarily executed and lincoln said, if you do that, you must read all of our soldiers equally, black-and-white. gooding in his letter goes on to say, if you tell the south they had to treat all soldiers black and white the same, then why aren't you paying all soldiers the same? wonderful, extr

when the union army came in, one of the first men was fred grant. according to legend and story and his own autobiography he came into the governor's office and there was a still lit pipe from john j. petis that he confiscated for his own use. ames was a governor near reconstruction. he was a general that came down and lived in mississippi who eventually became governor. he had to deal with a difficult time as mississippi is trying to go through the years of trying to deal with the former freed men and the whites that were not happy with where mississippi was going. ames was forced to get out. the last governor to serve in this building and was the first governor to serve in the current state capitol. we call it the new capitol even though it is over 100 years old. he had to relocate government back over to a new structure. we are now standing in the most historic room in the state of mississippi. this is the house of representatives chamber, which was a witness to many important events in our state's history. for instance, on january 9, 1861 delega

soldiers who are mustered into the union army. and so, again, i wasn't being entirely glib when i said yes, i think it is. is it as central a part of the civil war story as some of the n otherts events that people are going to be talking about here'h no, i don't think it is. i don't want to overstate my m. claims. that's not the kind of historiat i am. is but i do think that it's a very very important story, and i think that it's worth telling. thank you all again very, very mu >>> remind your children in this bicentennial year when we are the first generation of americans to have experienced attacks on the continental united states, we are the first generation of americans to have felt what it was like to have our government buildings attacked. remind your children that freedom is not free and that our country's greatness is found in one another. that's what the star-spangled banner is about. that's what this commemoration year is about. to tell that story and to lift every voice and to sing. >> a three-day fourth of july weekend

those were things that were lacking in the soviet union. i think gorbachev recognized they were lacking and he needed to make changes so he helped to identify the seeds that should be planted and where they should be planted. we had to make sure did not -- that somebody did not round up the seeds. i think that is what president bush did very well and he did it by having the benefit of counsel from lots of different people who did not all share the same view, except the same commitment. i think that was of great benefit to the president and i think that is reflected in the early stages of the book. the challenge that i have reading this book as it is maturing, i do feel as if i am anxious to turn on the radio -- and this dates me -- but i used up love listening to paul harvey , "the rest of the story." i want to know what the rest of the story is. i think there is something still missing in the book. i would suggest the relationship that margaret thatcher was going through in her own caucus, in her own country. also had an impact on the deba

role in the european union but on the line. an outrage. trust me that prime minister because it is clear from the results of the. both british elections and french elections that there is a great pity as far as the enlargement disconcerting and i think the fast tracking all the bulgarian has something to do about these many european economist claim that the fast tracking of those countries into the european project did contribute to the rise of the far right ideas and. you know the rise of those parties that will be represented in the next european parliament listen again those have been a difficult five years for the opinion and we have lost a lot of. our growth has been actual as the minus. but has not been because of the launch month it has been because of the global financial crisis if acknowledgment has brought the growth of the g.d.p. also in the old member states it has been always the end of the economic development that's never been a part of the problem and i accept that some for some police forces and extremist forces in europe

is supposedly a willing to provide to ukraine over the next few years now the european union is still recovering from an economic crisis and in many countries there are still economic difficulties the stereotype is very painful do you think it was prudent on the part of the e.u. to take a substantial financial and political a blog ations like ukraine why didn't you just wait a couple of years until the recovery is complete and until ukraine fully stay stable lies this listen this pick. to do exactly that this is a blueprint for reform so this is the way i mean how to more denies you crazy. money you talked about as a combination of ground loans and it's not for three years but this for seven years and yes it's worse a for us to invest in the stability of our partner countries do you think the people in europe will support that because it's not only about whether your ukrainians want to be associated with the european good but it's also about europeans rather than political establishment europe being ok with that do you think that the majority of europeans agree to your you know the eu

quasi area is to starve the union amazing amazing. i'd like to get back to hobby lobby sure just a minute i was talking with gretchen about it and i mentioned that the religious freedom restoration act was actually the constitution actually says that the supreme court has to operate under exceptions specified by congress and under the regulation of congress correct so congress so the supreme court had ruled in some religious case i think it had to go. in a way that congress didn't like they used a balancing test in dealing with a religious test ok and so congress said you can't do that anymore they said we're going to regulate the supreme court you can't do that anymore you have to use a stricter standard well what they said is that congress is laws in all the was in the states and which actually got struck down later all federal laws. must pass a strict scrutiny standard in order to be constitutional so then of imposing that own restriction on themselves when those other laws were brought before the supreme court they also had to look

the european union assisted the new member states. so their idea, the instruments, the tool box already is available in the european union is simply not sufficient for the affective implementation. we've been working now on a number of new ideas. the window for this idea is open. we need your support. the idea of influence the eu for your membership perspective, it was always my point. i'm fully confident that because of ongoing changes in the european union and in the whole euro abooe pi an continent is t no the most pressing issue to fight for formal recognition of membership perspective but it's key now to get european perspective in the sense that ukraine could become a member of the european union if ukraine is ready and fully capable to deliver on relevant eu criteria. so to put -- to get across in europe the ideas that ukraine should start negotiations on eu membership let's say that ducoue of years could be extremely damageable. so i've been fighting now for the european perspective. for the political recognition for ukraine.

the come pain. as general and chief of all union military forces in the spring of 1864, u.s. grant devised a grand strategy involving coordinated offenses by a number of union armies stretching from louisiana all the way to virginia. as you know already, the two most important of these offensives were those of the army, the potomac, here or in virginia, rather and that of william t. sherman who commanded the military division of the my opinion. grant's orders for sher man is for the campaign dated april 4th, 1864, were pretty straight forward. grant told sherman to move against the confederate army of tennessee, commanded by general joseph e. johnston and to break it up. and then get into the interior of the enemy's country as far as you can. inflicting all the damages you can against their war resources. at the same time, sherman was supposed to prevent 'johnson from detaching elements of his army to re-enforce either lee's army in virginia or confederate forces out in louisiana. and that is sherman's objective then in the atlanta campaign. if you look at sherman's record dur

an instance of how americans really view russia through the prism of the soviet union you know seeing russia as these ghost or the bogeyman all of the soviet union where is the american aggression the american policy is a very much current well i'm not sure to agree with you on that i mean. there was an effort for cooperation between the u.s. and russia but in two thousand and six if you remember after hamas won the elections in the palestinian legislative the assembly mr putin said hamas is not on our terrorist list number one and it's a big blow to american foreign policy in the middle east number two that's an example which is followed after that of what i would call mr putin zero sum game diplomacy where what russia gains the u.s. loses and vice versa i heard you say many times that putin is logically trying to play this zero sum game while obama is going for a win win but i wonder who just who actually won from obama's policies because if you look at his approval ratings he himself seems to be a losing not to mention the people of libya the people of syria the people of ukraine a

on the coast, wilmington, north carolina and other places had not been blockaded by the union. in fact, in this summer of 1864, everything was at a standstill. the war had not been won after gettysburg. forget gettysburg. forget antietam. forget emancipation. it all hung in the balance on an afternoon here at fort stevens when a confederate general, had children out of wedlock, spit tobacco, lee's bad old man, of which i have a biography, pointing out many of his foibles. but he was a fighter. he was the last thing robert e. lee had as an instrument for changing the war and he came with 8000, 10,00, maybe 12,000 men, battle hardened veterans, and was coming again change or in the east. the timeline, the citizen soldier, the lawyer, who opposed the succession, but went with the state, never understood that because he was a west pointer. after the war, he used to look across and complain about the barber pole flag, the american flag. he swore allegiance to it. so i don't have much for his comment on the american flag. how close? it is all a matter of speed. the delays begin for th
