again let me give you the words of thomas jefferson talking about character. he said god has formed us as moral agents that we may promote the happiness of those with whom he has placed us in society. by acting honestly towards all benevolently towards those who fall within our way. i can tell you during my couple decades of public service i believe that the world is hungry even desperate for people for leaders of character with a heart for service to others. so go and be those leaders. the scriptures also tell you that to whom much has been given much will be expected. you have been given much here. you have learned from and been mentored by some of the great faculty in all of the commonwealth. so now much is expected. you've been trained for excellence. so do not deliver mediocrity. don't make excuses. make things happen. and now as i close i've got one last request for you as governor of virginia. i know you're going to have many opportunities. maybe some around the country and around the world. but i want to humbly ask you this. no matter where you came fr

and who was not going to let thomas jefferson get away with any sloppy prosecution for treason.and in fact, the burr trial became very important in american jurisprudence because under the constitution treason is very narrowly defined. it consists of waging war against the united states for abetting those countries at war and it has to be witnessed by two eyewitnesses. well, the prosecution couldn't get the eyewitnesses, because the stuff that burr was said to have been done actually happen when burr was far away and secondly there was no war and marshall ruled on this end they have -- instructed the jury, you have to acquit him. anyway the rest of the story is, cantelli the start because i want you to read the book. in fact i'm going to stop here and if you have questions and if you have any answers to questions i would be happy to listen to those. if you have a question, and since we have the c-span audience i would be happy to repeat the questions. yes, sir? okay, the question is how about the -- [inaudible] here is a basic rob him. i write books for the purposes of expanded

george washington who never admitted that he had any party affiliation, but alexander hamilton, thomas jefferson formed their own parties very quickly. and, well, anyway, jefferson did win the election of 1800 with burr as his vice president. but jefferson, jefferson, a wonderful individual who could say the most philosophically high-minded things and then do the most pragmatically low-minded things, jefferson was as dismissive of legitimacy of parties as anyone, and he was also the first and one of the most effective political bosses in american history. and he decided that burr had to be pushed aside, that the presidency the next time around after jefferson left office would go to another virginian, james madison. so burr got pushed to the side. meanwhile, alexander hamilton had been pushed to the side because he had fallen out with the mainstream and the federalists. so both of these men were in a position where their prospects were not quite living up to their ambitions. and so they got afoul of each other because hamilton had said some very nasty things about burr in one of the political ca

papers of john adams, thomas jefferson, george washington, benjamin franklin. the madison papers are part of that converge. we use that word to describe that. it's comprehensive editions of the papers of the founding fathers, and i've written on madison and the war and they said to me, well, you know, why don't you come and run this project and teach for us in the history department, and you're an an throe polingses, and if you're asked to join the tribe, what does the anthropologist do? he accepts the invietnam invita. >> host: when you taught american history in new zealand, what were the important things that you think other people should know about our history? >> guest: you mean foreigners? people overseas? >> host: uh-huh. >> guest: well, i'll give you an example of a misconception when i -- the sort of thing that you have to deal with. american media films, television have an enormous impact on societies like australia and new zeal land because they're the -- the united states is a major producer of those forms of entertainment in popular culture and ent

and i mean republican in the sense of the republic, of thomas jefferson, those kinds of people. the last lawyer who really believes that to enunciate the important principles of america is going to work. this is in a town where their first reaction -- i mean, tom ewell is an incredibly evil, disgusting person. everybody in town knows that. but they believe him. you know, they're willing to take his word even though they know he's lying completely, they're willing to take his word. they're willing to go out and try to lynch tom robinson, right? they have taken one of their upstanding citizens, bo radley, and locked him in the attic. he's been there for god knows how many years. has anybody in town done anything about it? no. lock your kids in the attic. that's the kind of town you're dealing with. as we're seeing this through the idse of scout, a child, we have -- through the eyes of scout, a child, we have to dig into it ourselves to see what's going on and once you do you realize that atticus doesn't have a chance. there's nobody to appeal to. he's going to lose. and the moral

. >> would you have asked -- would the media have asked thomas jefferson in 1775 what are your goals? he probably would have said well, right now we want to get out from under king george's boot and we've got some other things we're going to caucus about and we're working on that. that's what this is. it's a movement and it doesn't necessarily have to have a focus. >> i'm going to leave it with pete dominic doing this is thomas jefferson impersonation. very well done. guys, thanks so much. thanks, guys. >>> coming up next, she was raised on picket lines for the rights of union workers, women and people of color. her philosophy on life is the old ibm motto, think. best-selling author and passionate advocate lisa bloom joins us with a startling look at teenage boys and her advice to parents. >>> and later, are more people rethinking the american dream to own a home? we'll take a look. ♪ this is the age of knowing how to get things done. so, why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is health

i heard on the radio that thomas jefferson owned slaves. he bowed to cultural pressure. some things are just wrong. week 32, i make the mistake of telling my mom i'm struggling with circumcision. i don't think so. i think of the stuff that can get caught in the vagina. that's not nice. andrea. if this child is jewish. he needs to be sircumicized. you don't want your boy to feel strange. that's true. i think my anxiety is fear of having a boy. i am terrified of boys. they are wild and smelly. i said, there is no way to know that. well i know for a fact you don't need it. like i wanted to talk to my dad about his penis. week 34, i don't have the double wide vagina i was hoping for. with just six weeks to go. instructions for peroneal massage. lock hands. apply lubricant. extra virgin olive oil. hold the thumb in place for two minutes or until it becomes numb. slowly massage over the vagina. it's best done with a partner. instead, i take a back door approach and use my finger. i have a lot of stretching to do. week 41, 3:45 p.m. it feels like i have to pee and poo. she says

again, the most famous example probably in american history is the settling of thomas jefferson's estate, where close to 200 slaves are auctioned off in one day. four or five of jefferson's slaves get free one of them his blacksmith is freed and jefferson says in his will that the blacksmith cannot only be free but live on monticello and have his blacksmith's tools and live in his cabin with his family. only thing is jefferson forgot to free his family. so the day he got free he saw his family, his wife and children auctioned off to a number of different buyers. that's the end point of settling the estate. but the middle point from the death of the master to the settling of the estate, the executor has to do something with slaves. and often the easiest thing to do is to rent them out to other people. so that a man dies, leaving 15 slaves, his widow will eventually get a use of some of these slaves. his children will eventually get the slaves. while they're sorting this out, the executor comes in and says, you know, i'm just going to take these slaves and rent them out and have a steady c

political life, madison self-conscious least good in the shadow of one of his contemporaries, thomas jefferson. for example, madison is often seen as a lieutenant of jefferson's who claimed credit for drafting the statute for religious freedom adopted by the virginia general assembly in 1786 and in fact jefferson was wise enough or perhaps we should say machiavellian enough to sketched his own grave stone on which he said he wanted it included, statements that he was the author of the declaration of independence and other statutes for religious freedom. besides father of the university of virginia. this is commonly the way we understand process that led to the establishment of a secular government in the old dominion. but i think -- if you think about it you realize jefferson was claiming credit for something for which madison should get the law is, not he. and the reason is most commonly when we discussed a particular legal enactments we credit the politician which was the fellow who moved it through the legislature or the chief executive who stressed that that was a leading element of this p

thomas jefferson would resort to them as a captive nation.tell my students that they were not african-americans. they were not allowing you to be an american. that was the crime. madison did not object to that. they went on to say that government authority was properly derived from the consent of the governance. and that they must periodically have elections. then there were articles having to do with individual rights. the right to own a gun, freedom of speech, trial by jury, and finally, the very last article, article 16, drafted by george mason, a man of 1688 said that the virginians were going to be entitled to the fullest toleration of the matters of religion. toleration was the formula that was used in england at the time. in england in the 17th century, they had a conflict between a parliament dominated by puritans. of course, the king was an episcopalian. finally, the parliament one nas executed the king and established a puritan society. they asked the king to come back, then they adopted the act of toleration which said that you can

the champions of the two competing visions of america were thomas jefferson and alexander am illton. hamilton. hamilton envisioninged an america of cities with busy harbors and smokestacks. jefferson favored a nation of independent landowners. he did not want america to become be like europe where people worked for wages and became political subjects and not participant bees. participants. jefferson's ideologicalty seven cants included andrew jackson and james k. polk, the president responsible for the mexican war. jackson and polk knew that for jefferson's so-called yeoman farmers to flourish, large amounts of virgin land were needed. so it was no coincidence that jefferson, jackson and polk together added 2.1 million square mile toss the united states, although jackson invaded florida before he was president. when jefferson took office in 1801, the u.s. land area was 891,000 square miles. when polk left office in 1849, it covered nearly three million square miles. what became the 48 contiguous states. since then just 700,000 square miles have been added, most of it alaska. i emphasi

some 20 years later in 1809 another of our founding fathers, thomas jefferson, emphasized the value of freedom of conscience when he stated this. he said no provision in our constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority. so we can be confident that our founding fathers needs the foundational value of religious liberty and freedom of conscience. today we are reminded that the lesson of maryland's early history and the story of charles carol, we are reminded that religious liberty is fragile, that value is now under attack and it will require our active vigilance to protect it, not just for ourselves but for future generations. pope benedict highlighted this to a group of bishops earlier this year. the pope spoke forcefully about the need to defend religious liberty in the united states, he said with her long tradition of respect for the right relationship between faith and reason, the church has a critical role to play in countering cultural currents which seek to promote notions of freedom detache

thomas jefferson actually said it this way, he said, i'm a great believer in luck and i find the harder i work the more of it i have. well, i've won my share of legal and political arguments because i was better prepared than my opponent and you can too. this leads to my second point. most of you have a minor in bible studies so you know that an important principal in scripture is that humility comes before honor. our religious and moral sense make us aware that as human beings we have limitations. flesh and blood can never attain perfection. raul matthew, whoever exalts himself will be humbled. whoever humbles himself will be exalted. thus humility is in order. and it helps us learn important lessons in life. that build on my first point about preparation. hue brus causes carelessness, but humility creates caution. caution breeds thoughtfulness. and thoughtfulness stimulates preparation. humility stresses the importance of humility. humility should never be accused with key essence. it would be wrong to shy away from responsibility using humility as an skugs. you each have talents whic
