and allied with the union army. they dug ditches. they did laundry. they nursed in hospitals. they built fortifications. they did the million and two things it takes to keep the 19th century army in the field and in motion. and when they did, they staked a stronger claim to the protection of the union army and national government than a slaveholder trying to overthrow the national government code. they change citizenship in a these three ways. first of all before the war and not the national government that adjudicative citizenship and it changed it because of what happened in this camps. second of all, citizenship during the war was no longer limited by race and that happened because of what went on in civil war contraband camps. finally, as a result of the civil war, citizenship involved with the protection and the way it really had not before the war and that have been partly because of what went on in civil war contraband camps. to recap part 2 of the book, tell us a story of former slaves aligned with the union

that power power was the union army. so the past former slaves got themselves to the force of power and they allied with the union army. they dug ditches and did laundry. they nursed they nursed in hospital and built fortifications they took care of livestock and did what it takes to keep a 19th century army in the field and in motion. and when they did, they staked a stronger claim to the protection of the union army into the national government and the slave over to overthrow the national government. they change citizenship in at least three ways. first before the war it was states and not the national government that adjudicated citizenship in the war change the partly because of what happened in the camps. second citizenship of the war was no longer limited by race and that happened because of what went on in civil war contraband camps. and finally, as a result of the civil war citizenship involved rights protection in a way way it had not before the war. and that happened partly because it what went on in some contra

looking from some of the union fortification lines. franklin is a sad story in a lot of ways because such a dramatic story, although great efforts there, still development going on. what remains behind, some of the haunted reminders of the battle. one of the most bullets marked buildings in north america. you can still see the bullet holes, still visible there today. this is the dead of the battle of franklin buried on the plantation, visible in the distance. the attack moved over -- it all starts out as the result of a long campaign that has really not gotten much attention. hood had to get from atlanta to franklin and it did not happen simply. it starts out, his initial plan, he will strike at the railroad. sherman had this fascination on destroying southern railroads. now it is hood's turn. striking at the railroad, trying to draw sherman northward. his whole idea, he will get hood to give up atlanta by following him north into the mountains of georgia. he can let sherman attacked him and beat sherman in north georgia. that does not

where it's dealing with the council continuing in the union. david jones represents on the council. >> okay. >> to what extent are you taking advantage of embassies across member states, are you going to use those resources to have bilateral discussions and are the embassies reporting to you? >> it's not an issue that's a problem in anyway. i mean, for example, on friday and saturday i was in madrid in seville. i saw the prime minister who has responsibility for brexit and i saw the very new foreign secretary, and the embassador accompanied me to the meeting, credibly high-quality meeting and also gave me his read-out of the way we thought we would use -- that service doesn't work. that is one for which the british parliament services has a tremendous history and tremendous capability and so there's no clash in that division of accountability. >> okay. can i ask you in your discussion with particular members, is it your impression that generally they see this as the uk shouldn't state saving the way while the rest continue to proceed in the same

and operating within the european union where focus should be. not on a particular process to get there. [inaudible] how strongly does he expect the government for the european union. >> the european always very concerned with and wanted to ensure that we will have a continued relationship with ukraine. the u.k. is already supporting ukraine in a number of ways and obviously when we left the european union plea continued our bilateral relationship with countries across the european continent. but we are providing money, for example come into the national anticorruption bureau which is 14 energy reform in ukraine to reduce dependence on russian gas. we are offering training to the ukrainian armed forces and sporting internal reform of the ukrainian ministry of defense. we'll always have a number of areas we are supporting ukraine and obviously we would continue to have that good a lateral relationship with ukraine once with what the european union. >> thank you, mr. speaker. could the prime minister did i think there's any discussions discussions a

potomac or the confederate armies, but i don't see a lot of sort of -- well, in the summer of 1862, the union armies and confessed rderate ar are fighting all the time. they don't have the luxury of time quite the same way the army of the cumberland had between january 1863 and june when they kick off their first major offensive of 1863. they have almost six months where they do nothing but drill. they learn the new drill manuals. they learn those steps from the bottom up and they become very, very proficient at it. so some armies do it better than others maybe is the short answer. >> thank you very much. >> thank you.

he doesn't seem to understand the point of a union. the point of a union is not just to keep jobs, right. it's not jobs over anything else. it is to have jobs that are worth keeping. it is to have jobs that pay a decent wage, that come with the kind of benefits that we have in the modern era. that come with the kind of benefits that people can have a life as well as a job. and i'm also struck by the way in this exchange tonight, who was behaving more presidential? was it donald trump or chuck jones? i actually have my money on chuck jones. i think the one that would act with dignity today. >> it is the guy that already has the title of president, chuck jones. ana marie cox, david corn of mother jones, thank you for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >>> coming up, kellyanne conway warned businesses he might just tweet about them if they have anything to say about him. he might drive down their stock price because he now has the power to do that. rick wilson and felix salmon will join us. david. what's going on? oh hey! ♪ that's it? yeah.

it's not quite perfect because it talks in terms of different areas of the union. but it's all we recognize. secondly, really their 15 million people land every year, it's it's a very long-winded way to get into the uniting kingdom to come by dublin. if you want to come and you come in as a tourist tourist and you say, that's what happens if people are trying to come in illegal at some point. i also don't perceive circumstance where we are going to stop tourism. we will have lots of people coming in and out to britain. i. i don't see it as big of an issue. the other thing i would say is this, i also think it's equally key to maintain this and we may well have discussions with them at some point about their own security so we have at least some idea but that's for them to decide, not me. >> what your vision for the united kingdom after breaks it? >> first thing is my job is to bring the decision back to the u.k. the main point i would put here because people jump to conclusion that i would expect in the future government to run our control border in the national inte

we are also members of the eu's customs union, the biggest in the world.hat will brexit bring? this morning, the trade secretary suggested we could remain partial members of the customs' union. i hear people talking about hard brexit and soft brexit as if it is a boiled egg we are talking about. it is a little more complex. turkey is in part of the customs' union but not other parts. we need to look at the cost. the customs' union includes all 28 eu nations at but also turkey, monaco, san marino and andorra. all can trade freely with each other. but they must impose the same tariffs on good outside the customs' union. they are also barred from doing bilateral trade deals that other countries. that is why the trade secretary would like a half way house, but there will be trade—offs. the former chancellor, now free to speak without a government script urged ministers to be careful. we should do this on the basis of a hard—headed assessment on what is in our national and economic interests. yes, it is true that the grass may be greener outside of those arrang

obviously i will play in relation to discussions on the european union but the european union will have a key role to play in negotiations but obviously there will be a lot of technical negotiations and discussions that will take place at official levels. >> who will actually negotiate the eu's new trade relationships? >> that will be part of , that will be part of the negotiation and it will be those who are negotiating who will be part of that but they will bring in the expertise we did in relation to the trade aspects of that. >> what will the price the trade minister actually have aspecial role in that ? >> as we unfold the way in which that trade negotiating should will take place we will bring you expertise, the official expertise and ministers as appropriate from the department of international trade. >> many governments have a single trade negotiator, the us government has a trade negotiator that deals across departments. do you envision that we have someone playing such a central role or should we have? >> we are currently building up the specific trade negotiations expertise w

you have countries inside the customs union. that's clearly one. have you countries like turkey which has a arrangement which puts it inside the customs union for some of its economy and outside for others. allows it to do very limited free trade agreements. you have circumstance like norway which is inside the single market but outside the customs union. and you have countries like switzerland who have who are outside the ingle market but with bilateral, a large number, 20 something trade deals. and they're outside the customs union but they have customs arrangements. the four i had in mind and as i say, they're not comprehensive but sort of four staging if you like a spectrum or inside the customs union a partially inside turkish if you like, outside but with a free trade agreement and a customs arrangement as happened in some parts of the worlds and completely outside. that's the sort of spectrum, if you like. >> so that as i understand it, that list doesn't include trying to be in the customs union for certain sectors. >> that's what i said. the

they still expect the soviet union to be our ally. stalin tries to get 19 seats in the u.n. he wants a seat for every soviet union republic and eventually he gets three. that is part of the compromise. but fdr has other goals, long-term goals for this globalized world that we talked about yesterday. >> now, i just -- a comment. i agree. if you are talking about yalta in particular and there wasn't -- there was a great incentive for fdr to get the soviet union, the agreement for the fight against japan and the bomb is an issue at potsdam but not yet at yalta. >> we're going to stay to left in the far back. could you please stand, ma'am. >> why, exactly did fdr choose harry truman to run with him in his last presidential campaign? >> long answer. i don't know enough details on in a to answer that. >> we're going to -- >> where is rob statino, we're going to extend that session by 45 minutes to we could have a full explanation. >> i would go to somebody else in the audience. i know there was a certain amount of political -- truman was a good guy from the part of the country that

including staying in the customs union? asked, and in a non—confrontational way, if we stay inside the customs union, we cannot do the type of deals that your department was set up to create and, therefore, there is no need for liam fox. there would be limitations, in terms of tariff setting, which would limit what kind of deals you can do. that is quite correct. the customs union includes all 28 eu nations and turkey, monaco, san marino and andorra. all can trade freely, but they must impose the same tariffs. they are also barred from doing bilateral trade deals with other countries. now only a back—seat driver to cabinet discussions, george osborne was asked what type of trade deal should be done. we should have a ha rd—headed assessment of what is in our national interest. it is true that the grass may be greener outside of those arrangements and we may be able to conduct new free—trade deals with australia, the united states and so on, but that shouldn't come at a price of giving up the existing free—trade arrangements

it is not clear this will take to parties in the european union and the u.k. to go through that process of negotiation. we will be ensuring to give clarity, then we will do so. >> i'm not quite sure i understand why it's so difficult given that we know the european parliament will have a vote on the deal. why the british parliament will also have a vote. >> what i'm saying is there is an opportunity to consider and go through more details as they do become available how this is going to operate. there is a question about the timetable in relation to the agreement that the deal and the necessity, how the timetable will operate in relation to the european parliament as well. what is also clear about is ensuring when we come to the point where actually delivering the british people that we will be in the european union. >> talking about the timetable, he expects negotiations to be completed by october 28 teen indeed to provide scrutiny of what's been agreed. do you expect the complex negotiations about the arrangement and the new agreement about market access and

from the point at which we have left the european union, it will be the british parliament that decides courts that decides and british courts that decide our legislation. finally, as you will appreciate, the many people who want us move quickly in relation to all of these matters. i appreciate there is a timing issue. but do you not want to get on with this as quickly as possible? because it's the certainty that comes from that which is what a great deal of the business community and other people in our civil society want, to reflect the outcome of the referendum as soon as possible. well, i think it's right that people wa nt to well, i think it's right that people want to reflect the outcome of the referendum as soon as possible. it's also write the government needs to be sure that we take the time to prepare properly for the negotiations. that's why i said at a very early stage actually before i said that i thought we shouldn't trigger article 50 until the end of this year. i then looked at the timetable, obviously in... we looked at the timetable, and the triggering was a balance be

>> the union general as the commander of the union army two weeks before the battle of gettysburg don't believe everything you read on the internet. [laughter] he said a telegraph that was head of the war effort that they are reporting a my whereabouts reporting people anonymously can i throw them out? he said if you want but i can tell you that it will be hard to keep the amount. and then honestly that tell me about this so lincoln suspended habeas corpus there were a number of editors from of philadelphia of bulletin throated jail for printing that to but he was removed three days. . . but there were episodes of tarring and other -- bettering of reporters and another one that was basically a court-martialed and they tied him up backwards on a mule. and tried to shoot ilium. one negative humiliate him. but if they were captured and with the expansion of the '04. >>. >> and there is one study will not be labor but as wide sherman hated the media and that protagonist in the story. >> now you are teasing us. >> so did you have got off hob moment? so of the national military park. did to t

member of the european union. what's important is when we leave and people wantto ensure that the british government , that our taxpayer money is spent. >> the european stress that those responsible for breaches of international law in syria must he held accountable and that the eu is considering all available options . >> >> guarantee the rights of e.u. nationals residing here, much as we would like to, until we have achieved reciprocity for u.k -- [inaudible] >> prime minister. >> i agree absolutely with my honorable friend, and i think it's a fairly obvious fact that u.k.'s prime minister should have concern for u.k. citizens. those u.k. citizens who are living in other e.u. member states, we don't want to see those being left high and dry which is why our position has always been we will guarantee the rights of the citizens living here provided they can have their rights guaranteed as well. >> mr. paul flynn. >> will brexit deliver what three for example sit ministers -- brexit ministers promised in the referen

chuck, the book is "imperfect union." tell us about it. >> this is great and it's enough a lot of interfaces and i anticipate the questions coming down the road. i will say that i hope you would hold judgment on this afterwards because as donald trump taught us last night you really should make snap judgments, so give me the whole hour, okay? >> will you concede after an hour? >> i might. i know at least one of my friends has to go play the packers. we will get out of here as soon as we can. i want to have fun tonight andnd into questions mainly. people as asked me about why i wrote this book and there's sors of two anecdotes that illustrated. one of which is an episode that if think you remember in contemporaneous situation, the pat tillman situation, the nfl player that went to war and was billed out as this year and this great sort of great american hero for going to afghanistan and can kill. it turns out later that the mythology that been built up around it was not necessarily the correct thing that happened. in fact,

the general secretary of the rmt speaks on behalf of the union andi the rmt speaks on behalf of the uniontelling you what about our dispute on southern, which is about having a safety person on every train. it is nothing new. we have done it in a number of companies this year, and we want to see the same southern. why is it that in scotland, on the east coast, on great western, on trans—pennine express , on great western, on trans—pennine ex press , we on great western, on trans—pennine express, we can keep guard on the train and get the same benefit but we can't give it to southern passengers. why? why would your president make such a statement if he's not meant to go off script? he isa he's not meant to go off script? he is a significant figurehead for you. our focus is about the fight to keep the second person on the train. this started in february, i need to remind you, and the director of franchise for the department for transport said he would take on the trade unions and get them out of his industry. if you have any questions about what is going on politically, you should ask chris

the union said that legal action is not on the table quote, the union does not intend to pursue legaln. obviously professor cox's statements, hyperbole. joining me now is the president of orange coast college republicans and attorney sean steele who is representing the students in all of this. good for both of you to be here and tonight. josh, you did not make the video but when you saw the video and your orange coat college republicans, you decided to post it online. what happened then? >> so after posting the video it actually started skyrocketing really the same day. currently we're at 18,000 views on facebook and we've recently posted it to youtube and received close to 24,000 views on youtube alone. it's picked up from the small conservative media outlets and picked up by the wagg post, the first major news outlet to report on it. >> were you or were you not threatened with legal action? >> that's completely not true. we were threatened with legal action. they posted that on our public page. and the fact that they're back pedaling now goes to show that we have them on the defense

to get the soviet union and the u.n. and that is one of the reason why churchill's iron curtain speech is so decried because he seems to be going against the u.n. which is a major effort. if there was a bomb, even if we had one in new mexico work that does not mean we will have another work. the bomb is much overplayed. we do not know what is going to bring the japanese to surrender. you need all of those different blows. at the same time we are testing the bomb we still want to get the soviet union in the war against japan. this business about this hammer used against the soviet union, fdr especially still expects the soviet union to be our ally in the future. stalin tries to get 19 seats in the u.n.. he was a seat for every soviet republic. eventually he gets three of them. that is part of the compromise. but fdr has long-term goals for this globalized world that we talked about yesterday. alexandra: if we're talking about yeltsin, and the fdr agreement for the fight against japan and the bomb really becomes an issue a

and they break through at the union center. but it doesn't go far. in the center there had been a secondary line of works constructed. as they break through they are not going to be able to overcome it. indeed, one soldier noted they pitch into the confederate. and a simultaneous counter attack at this point. anyway they sprang over and with the mass of confederates that have taken our line and did not know what to do with it and at the first ohio he cracked his whip around the ears of his artillerist. they started running and he is like -- slashing around them with verocity of demons. as if he needed anymore. he has been pitched -- this is all going to transpire also to the carter house which is one of the preserved areas of the battlefield today. one of the soldiers noted the contesting elements could have seemed almost like a methodist love feast compared to the pandemonium that rained there for the space of 10 to 20 minutes. the scenes we witnessed during that short space of time was stamped upon the minds of the participants that even after a lon

does the government want the uk to remain part of the customs union? >> mister speaker, can i first of all join the honorable lady opposite in marking the anniversary of pearl harbor in remembering all of those who lost their lives at that time but also marking with a sense of celebration fact that prime minister abe is joining president obama, the first japanese prime minister so to do, i think that kind of reconciliation put the ancient conflict behind is a welcome one. the latest point about europe the government always made it , clear we would seek to give additional clarity, the earliest opportunity. it has been the case the prime minister has said many times that one of our core objectives is to seek your maximum freedom for access to and operate in the single european model. -- for british companies to have access to and operate in the single european model. >> i thank the leader of the house but respectfully say to him that on this issue the answer should be straightforward. we know it would be a disaster to british business if we do not remain

of the uk leaving european union. i think it's absolutely right they meet together as 27. it is when we trigger article 50 would want to make sure the process is a smooth and orderly as possible. in our interest, the interest of our economy, it's an interest of the economies as well. i welcome the fact their meeting in order to discuss that process to make preparations just as we're doing when we trigger article 50. >> thank you to much mr. speaker. it is absolutely right we maintain good relationships with the choice of a nation-states of the european union. what steps is the prime minister making to make sure we talk to european countries not in the european union to gain insight from their experience and deposition and also the plans of the future? >> my honorable friend raises an important point which is actually is not just a relationship with the eu as a whole. it's a relationship with individual countries are members of the eu and those are not members. we do hold of those discussions. i have those talks and i r

we don't want the unions keeping people from working. seiu prime example anti-worker, pro-bureaucrat. >> absolutely right. and their president has had feisty words saying because the far right will control all three branches of the federal government we will see serious threats to the ability of working people to join together in unions. jessica, i think you can maintain they were having problems before this election. >> yeah. >> a 30% budget slash in a single year. that's pretty outrageous. can they realistically blame it all on trump? do you think this union would go untouched if there were a hillary incoming administration? >> no, i don't think so. we've been talking for months about the fact public sector unions in this country do need to reform. now, i don't want them gone. you know what ben stein was talking about though i respect him a great deal, it's going too far. you know, public sector unions will be a future of the american economy until the end of time. but they do need to reform. and we have seen a divergence between what t

ido britain to leave the european union. think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. across asia today we have seen shares fall on the major markets, like japan's nikkei, down more than 7%. now look what happened, it tumbled down to levels not seen since the 1980s. many people in the financial markets, caught perhaps unawa res people in the financial markets, caught perhaps unawares by this decision. brexit means brexit, and we are going to make a success of it. it is a victory against the big merchant banks, against the big businesses, and against big politics. at the end of the day, jamie dunn, jp morgan, gold—medallist goldman sachs, have a good holiday. because i will give you a clue guys, you will be back. we arejoined by you a clue guys, you will be back. we are joined by economics editor, ahmed. we thought brexit back in the summer. ahmed. we thought brexit back in the summer. we are looking ahead to 2017. where do we stand in terms of uk negotiations? every

that dominates the authority process more than the grand direction of the union. that's my impression. it is only an impression. i can't say i sort of tried to analyze that -- >> after you detected any recognition that the uk vote to leave and we are the only country that has really given its people the opportunity so far, but there are indications that other countries in the european union should they hold referendums might produce the same result. >> well, that is an issue which worries the commission more than the nation states, i think. one of the -- one of the issues i have to deal with is the nation states quite properly, f put the interests of their own people high up in the priority list. and that's helpful to us because free trade is one of the things that's mutually beneficial. the commission is obviously concerned about the risk of somebody else following suit, and so on. and that has manifest itself in a slightly -- not -- aggressive's the wrong word. in a view that maybe we can't be allowed to do too well after this. now, that's reducing a bit, frankly

he dragged the soviet union into an industrial age. the great terror, between 1937- 1938, 622,080 people were executed. stalin loved to go to the ballet. opera.d going to the when the opera was over he would go to his office. we have documents where he says, i want more people from this region or wherever it was, 1500 people were being executed every day in russia. for stalin, the end always justified the means. but what did he really want? he did turn into a very effective four-time leader. he was adored by russians and by the and of the war he was a very powerful leader and they felt very strongly about him. the key to understanding what he did in central europe is to understand that he was a lot ofr, paranoid, and a other things but above all, he was a died-in-the-wall marxist leninist. he believed what he did was a leader was important to the inevitable victory of communism. the capitalist of was going to collapse. the capitalists would always fight one another and in the end, communism would always triumph. in a recently released d

yep, this year saw the uk take that momentous decision to leave the european union. to take a look at what lies in store for the next 12 months. and he did it! the billionaire businessman donald trump wins the race for the white house. he has made some bold announcements, but was it all talk and no action? and, of course, it has been a turbulent year for the global market. oil prices hit that historic low. but there is light at the end of the tunnel. and, of course, following a landmark deal between members of the opec countries. and exploding phones, driverless cars and virtual reality. it has been an eventful 12 months in the world of tech but what can we look forward to in 2017? we'll speak to our resident gadget guru. and indeed, a very warm welcome to a very special edition of business live. so this year saw two of the biggest political results of the decade, as the recent trend towards globalisation kind of took a step back. there are now dark clouds of uncertainty hanging over two of the world's biggest economies — europe and the united states. so let's start b

turns and goes south somewhat into the union rear down about the area where it says baird. but what happens? he's not able to make any further headway. he's ejected by many of those union reserves. this is the fundamental problem of attacking. making sure that you have control over your formations as they go into battle. making sure you have adequate reserves close enough that you can push them forward when they're needed. making sure that you have the communications necessary to establish when they're needed. if a front line commander calls for reserves like breckenridge did, is your upper echelon commander the next man up the food chain close enough to be able to control the battle and bring those reserves into the fight? it's a constant struggle for all civil war armies. we'll move to probably my last example. what? that particular map that i just showed you was september 20th. the morning of september 20th. the last example i think is very interesting. this is the union second corps on in the wilderness. this is the attack on the second day in the battle of the wildernes

britain is on a journey out of the european union. he end of march when we'll trigger article 50. so far the route we're going to take has been, well, a bit like today, pretty murky. so, we've come to bristol to find out what businesses here want to know about the potential perils and potential opportunities that lie ahead. for firms like this manufacturer of aerospace components, initial anxiety has given way to just getting on with it. in fact the company has just spent £a00,000 on this new machine. i was very pro—remain as a business person because i didn't want the uncertainty that brexit is still potentially going to create. but people have decided on what they want to happen. let's roll up our sleeves and move forward. in fact the economy has not really dimmed at all since the vote, and here at the uk's largest independent financial adviser, investor confidence has been looking up. and the other is that people have certainty that actually, the day after the brexit vote, the world hasn't fallen to pieces. but hang on a moment, rem

to stay in the customs union? [ yeah ] >> the honorable lady and i -- she's right -- the honorable lady and i both argued passionately during the referendum. what separates us now is that i am part of a conservative government which is working together to respect the democratic burden. [ yeah ] to secure the best possible out come for the security of the entire united kingdom from those negotiations, where as the honorable lady, even just two months ago was telling us that she wanted to go back to the british people in someway, she needs to decide whether she accepts the democratic verdict or not. >> of course, we accept the democratic decision of the british parliament, of course, we do. but the difference between our side of the house and that side is that we want to lead the european union on behalf of 100%, on behalf of the whole of this nation. now, we really need to have a straightforward answer to a straightforward question, because leaving the customs union would mean having to check every container coming
