the union. then you had two democrats who had split right? so you have northern democrats who tended to support steven douglas. who was someone we know very well from what? to the beginning fade a little ladder for our thoughts the debate with lincoln the debate with lincoln. what else? what else is he responsible for? cj compromise of 1850 right kansas, nebraska act. he'd been a very prominent member of congress for many years. and so you might think that he would appeal to southerners particularly because he had been one of these folks who had created more compromise that allowed southerners to get into the territories, but in fact by the time of the election of 1867ers had pretty much abandoned him, especially people in the lower south instead, they tended to support this man john breckenridge who tended to be more stringent about slavery and therefore got the support of lower south men. and then finally we have abraham lincoln of the republican party and you'll remember that the republican pa

of the union, which is what they called the united states. so union, their term in the 19th century connoting their nation, their country, their their as they sought singular experiment in in democracy and republicanism. so unionism is a fascinating topic. it's it's difficult to study one in a somewhat under studied one and it's difficult for the following reasons. we'll get into this and we'll see how both of these scholars have sort of met these challenges. one of the difficulties of studying southern unionism is that unionists in the south were divided. they had very variable views and agendas. there were anti-slavery, southern unionists. and i'm thinking here of african-americans and of a small number of reform minded southern whites who wanted to to remake the south into a free society. there were pro-slavery unionists. i'm thinking here about the majority of southern whites who believed that the union had protected slavery and could protect slavery and should protect slavery and would protect slavery. some very important divergences ther

ah, the union. situation, it can somehow help, because at the beginning it threatens with dismissal. he doesn't want a door there, but the same situation means that we have not isolated cases, and i want to tell you, often not even myself. the person the worker addresses on the given problem, namely our legal inspectors who carry out checks and monitorings. they establish this fact. i want to tell you that this is thanks to the recommendations that are given on the basis of the results of the checks. uh, according to the results of monitoring , employers. uh, they are already more attentive to the issues of attracting an employee during non-working hours. and believe me, we have in the case, but they are rare when the employee applied that he was forced. well, how as a rule, uh, it means that employees sign e orders or an order from the employer to attract, that means in addition to work. so often it is our specialists who establish this. and if a person is told to go out to work on a holiday . and h

the unionizing starbucks workers are on the front lines. a groundswell of working in middle class people are banding together to assert their right to organize, form a union, and collectively bargained for their dignity. my father used to tell me you can't beg for your rights, you have to tell them. he lost his finger and an industrial accident as a young man. there was no osha. the boss said, see you next week, john. get back on the job. that was before unions. that was before rights were put on the books. ultimately, that is what starbucks workers are doing. workers in buffalo or the spark that has lit the fire of organizing locations across the country, including 15 starbucks locations in massachusetts. the american people are watching. public support for union today record high late last year was 71% of americans approving of labor unions. as you sit here denigrating workers, you are not just morally and legally wrong, you are in the minority. you are out of touch. union besting is disgusting. i got the chance this week to meet with cai

nato, near the border of the union state, this quote from the president of belarus, the union state has created an effective defense system, within which the unified air defense system functions and the regional grouping of the russian leader also said that russia belarus is increasing cooperation in the field of defense and security, cooperation in the military technical sphere is expanding. people, regarding cooperation in other areas , according to lukashenka, over the past 27 years , the value of trade. belarusian leaders increased by more than 4.5 times he emphasized the role of industrial cooperation between the two countries more than 8,000 enterprises of belarus and russia have cooperation ties during the years of building the union state , more than 60 joint scientific and technical programs have been implemented in various fields. this is space exploration, information technology, agriculture and much more, the president of belarus noted that the day before he had discussed the topic of interaction in the field of microelectronics with the head of the russian state for a very

in response , a propaganda campaign was launched in the soviet union. british government announced the severance of trade and diplomatic ties with the soviet union. england faced a big problem - a revolution that was moving from the east of europe to the west in london knew that the soviets had issued a cry that was heard in all parts of the british empire all peoples are equal all peoples have the right to self-determination of the flesh up to secession and the creation of an independent state. already in the eighteenth year. india became agitated, a movement of disobedience began to crush crush this infection to strangle the bolsheviks of their cradle. i spoke to the devil. even by mobilizing their former enemies. the soviet union was very serious, because it was a powerful irritant for the british political litas. i remember, that interwar period dominated the british political scene by the conservative party conservatives. you were just ardent, well, if not russophobic, then they are definitely bolsheviks to you, and the task of great britain was ac

nato near the border of the union state. is is a quote from the president of belarus , an absolutely effective state has already been created the defense system, within which the unified air defense system operates and the regional grouping of the russian federation , also said that russia and belarus are increasing cooperation in the field of security and defense, expanding cooperation in the military-technical sphere. as for cooperation in other areas , according to lukashenko, over the past 27 years , the value of trade has increased by more than 4 1/2 times. and russia have cooperative ties during the years of building the union state , more than 60 joint scientific and technical programs have been implemented in various fields. space exploration, information technology, agriculture and many others the president of belarus noted that the day before , the topic of interaction in the field of microelectronics was discussed with the head of the russian state for a very long time. even in this complex issue , we have found a

otherwise the union member could lose their job. government cannot move out of town. but there is no threat of government going out of business as it is with a business. worst of all, in a trade union context, the union and management are basically trying to buy the pie of capital labor. who gets how much of the profits basically. that is not true in the public sector. the taxpayers are paying the bill and not really seeing what is happening and probably worst of all, negotiation isn't -- it is collusive. it would be illegal under the national labor relations act for management to buy off complicit labor. in the public sector, the unions devote huge resources to getting people elected and they sit down at the bargaining table and say what are you going to give me? it is a payoff. it bears no relationship to private sector bargaining. susan: why do you believe the remedy for this was not in the ballot box, people making decisions in elections, but in the courts? philip: two reasons. it is unconstitutional, legislatures did not have au

, the investments that were poured into poland by various countries of the european union after its accession. you can just see it all. and i 'm not talking about the level of crime and security, because you really feel yourself on the streets of poland, it is absolutely safe , protected, and there is law and order, there is respect for human rights. such values ​​seem to me ah. well, actually, we need it and we will get it, but you know, i am convinced that we will enter and become members of the european union, but i don't really know, well, on the one hand, i would like to disappoint our viewers, and on the other hand , it seems to me incorrect to talk about the fact that ukraine will become a member of the european union two years ago, if you analyze the path of other countries to the european union, then it is possible to say that even the average period of joining the european union from the moment of application to full membership was much more than two years, and about two years, uh, only three actually joined countries, yes, finland, sweden, and the third, i honestly ca

the union army has very success. we moved across much of the northern half of what's now the state, which is an important factor in terms of its alarm's point. also, you know, actually being able to govern a certain territory. but now they're not happy about this at all in any stretch of the imagination. so they now have to have a third convention in the one take away today will be lots of conventions, lots of meetings. and this is a special session that governor pierpont calls of the virginia general assembly. okay, all right. now, why he's doing this is because the virginia general assembly has left the united states and joined the confederacy. if we're going to have a government, we've got to reconstitute a state legislature. so they reconstitute with eight state senators and 32 delegates. that's probably smaller than what the actual prior virginia government's legislature was. true, and it represents not the same amount of territory, but there are other problems and several of you've hinted at the obvious problems

the soviet union restored the entire railway network in eastern europe, the soviet union stopped all e bridges, in fact, destroyed during the hostilities . forty-four-forty-fifth years of eastern europe, no one has ever counted. and how much money the soviet union spent on this september 28, 1944, the soviet union sent yugoslavia. here is the figure itself, up to 50,000 tons of grain. in 1944, this was despite the fact that the soviet union itself was in a very difficult state. he needed independent help, but there were reserves. we found reserves. this is despite the fact that we needed it in the same period very actively liberate belarus and very actively liberate the countries of eastern europe to liberate the baltic countries, which were also in very difficult condition and the soviet union was enough for that volume and for those economic needs in 1946, france turned to the soviet union for emergency assistance and in our the country was very difficult, but she found an opportunity. uh, deliver 554,000 tons of grain. it was for france that was experiencing famine. well real hunge

, and if we consider them as the european union and they are a part of the european union, theustoms policy is not a question of individual countries. it is a question of the european union itself, because when they say that such restrictions will be introduced, then there is a question about at least two articles the association agreement between ukraine and the eu eh now i am looking at their numbers 35 article and 34 35 regarding the establishment of n-child restrictions if i am not mistaken 34-a is about transit. that is , it turns out that a-a countries that take this step , they exceed their powers and thus create problems for the existence of the european union, therefore the solution to this problem that has arisen is not only a question of ukraine's dialogue with these countries . ago it is desirable that they join actively and do not turn this situation into a problem that can harm the relations of the country as a future member of the eu with the current members of the european union, mr. ivan. on their territories, too much of the ukrainian coast accumulates, some p

we will automatically become part of the european union. from the european union, the nato army, and so on. and no one. mainly out of fear of russian aggression, either through transnistria or directly . in general, it doesn't matter what you say, the minister. this is certainly an ideal option when moldova will become a member of the european union and a member of nato in one day, but so far, no more than 45% of the population supports this is the idea of ​​unification with romania. but if you look at the history of 20 years ago , only 3% of the population was in favor of reunification with romania, and now this percentage is growing every year because the people understand that you are the only way out of the situation, but at the same time, we understand very well that for this we need to organize a referendum , that the majority of the population is in favor, therefore , now we support the idea and the actions of the government, which is behind the introduction of the web union, but for now we we cannot renounce neutrality and cannot be

ah, the union. help, because the boss at the same time threatens with dismissal. he doesn’t want the door there, but the situation is the same , which means that we don’t have isolated cases like this, and i want to tell you that even often it’s not the worker himself who addresses this problem, but our legal ones. the pectors who carry out monitoring checks, they establish this fact. i want to tell you that but thanks to the recommendations that are given on the basis of the results of inspections. e, as a result monitoring employers. uh, they are already more attentive to the issues of attracting an employee during non-working hours. and believe me, we have cases, but they are isolated, when an employee applied that he was forced. well, as a rule, uh, it means that employees sign u orders or an order from the employer to attract. and if a person is told to go out to work on a holiday. and he has a family of children. well, well, it can't. he refuses, it is clear that the employer will already have

such a decision was made at a meeting of the supreme state council of the union state, vladimir putin and alexander lukashenko held it today in the kremlin. why the collective west fails to slow down the russian-belarusian integration will tell alexander khristenko and pavel zarubin alexander lukashenko is back in the kremlin and it must feel like he didn’t leave the day before the president talked for more than 6 hours, face-to-face, and judging by this photo, they finished negotiations deeply after midnight, as specified from the belarusian side at 2:15 am. putin walked lukashenka to the car. the conversation was very informative about economics or security. military industry military issues in the development of the theme of cooperation meetings of the supreme state council in the focus of attention on strengthening the defense capability of the union state. in addition, the delegations, of course, now, against the background of the sanctions , are paying special attention to the economy in the implementation of 28 integration programs. they have already been implemented by 80%. an

the soviet union was a very serious irritant for the british political elite.all that they period dominated the political scene of britain and the conservatives. you were just ardent, well if not russophobic, then they are definitely bolsheviks to you, and the task of great britain was actually to isolate the soviet union as much as possible because of european affairs, not to integrate, unlike nazi germany , the soviet union into versailles europe, and now, this was, of course, a huge mistake of the british conservatives, because any stable development of the european order is possible only with the participation there in russia. it doesn't matter what it's called? soviet union soviet russia russian empire or russian federation while english conservatives prepared for war with the soviet union across europe quickly spread the new political ideology of fascism. its creator , the italian dictator benito, was pushing towards the ultimate acceleration of communism and the creation of a classless society. the fascists wore black shirts and were armed with clubs in

and within the framework of the union state. the work is in full swing moving, seriously. yes, very seriously. yes, when the world economy storm and behind the actions of the united states then sharp changes in exchange rates, apparently inevitable here are the dollar jumps that have been taking place in recent days. should they worry us and how long can they last up to what values? therefore, e change in the exchange rate is associated with the inflows of currencies of our country with the trade balance. how much they sold, how much they bought, and so on, adhere to market principles in the face of a change in external economic culture. we do not set any boundaries now, the central bank, as a regulator, does not set some restrictions, so the price is now, uh, increased for our energy. and this is a signal that there will be more currency coming into the country, which will lead to the fact that the ruble exchange rate will tend to strengthen, and the trade of russian goods abroad. more and more, not for dollars and euros, but f

well how fragile the union was especially in the far west? so he initiated the sweeping purge of federal officials about 1500 of them in total and he replaced them all with reliable unionists. this include included firing the southern-born governor and the secretary of new mexico the exact same guys who oversaw the passage of the territory slave code in addition to firing basically all the friends who were in all the friends of william gwyn. who were in california is patronage positions. much harder to lead a rebellion in the rep in the west when you no longer really hold power there. now an equally important factor in a resting rebellion in the far west was ironically the position that the region's pro slavery leaders took it's what i wait and see separatism. so rather than provoke outright rebellion, they basically preferred to cheer the confederacy from a nice safe distance. once the confederacy triumphed then they would launch a movement for an independent republic on the pacific coast. i mean at least this was their plan. and at one poin

or destroy the union. these are extraordinarily. earth-shaking decisions that no man. no woman could take easily and you see that as part of his stress as well. so when the war began when lincoln came in office civil war began he put so much effort into preserving the union, but he understood that the real core. issue was slavery and he knew he had to take measures against slavery. of course. that was a controversial sadly a controversial thing to do one of my favorite areas of our museum shows his initial reading of the emancipation proclamation to his very strong cabinet in july of 1862 and you see a variety of of reactions to that some happy some not happy at all because they feared that the emancipation proclamation would drop particularly the border states into the confederacy and that would have been probably fatal to the union but lincoln knew at that point that from a principal point of view. it was important. he had the authority it was a wartime measure only as commander in chief to free those slaves in rebel territory taken by the union armies, but also he kn
