a family he knew, his father knew, and he knew as a child thomas jefferson, james madison, and all the people the founders of the country. william country. william henry harrison came to cincinnati as an infant, and the first infantry heat was sent by president george washington, became commander of the ford and was here in 1791 when cincinnati was mostly mud streets and a few log cabins on the riverfront. his time in cincinnati, parallels the lives of cincinnati as a grand city which it became. when he left in 1841 to be president, it was was the fastest growing city in the united states. it was a city of fine churches, beautiful mansions, flowers, very prosperous and had grown significantly in a time that harrison didn't just observe what happens, which is the story of american progress. he participated in it. i maintained that he really had a major hand in building the institutions, the political political and cultural institutions that made cincinnati a mecca for subsequent immigration. what harrison did as a delegate to the u.s. congress was to write the harrison land act of 1800.

thomas jefferson was a draftsman.ohn adams was a politician turning the wheel allowing -- let me show you a quick picture here. these are the men who haven't got enough credit for the decoration and above all john adams a man from massachusetts who never held slaves. adams wrote it to-do list. this is one of my favorite artifacts from the archives. february 1776 he won't be able to see it from where you are sitting to go and find it on line. the fourth item on the left-hand side says government to be assumed in every colony. this was adams strategy for getting to independence was to condense all of the colonies that they basically were already in a state of anarchy but it was time for them to write their own constitution and they would be ready to declare independence. on the right-hand side forth from the bottom on the declaration of independence, that's where it comes from. john adams to-do list and the work consistently through 75 to 76 to get to the point of being ready to write constitutions and declare independe

among them biographies of john adams, george washington, thomas jefferson, the national book award, the book on the revolutionary brothers, founding brothers, revolutionary generation won the pulitzer prize in 2001. most recently he has written a book, at "the quartet," that has been on the new york times best-seller list for ten weeks. it is what he calls the second american revolution, the revolution that began in 1787, not 1776. let's go into that. thank you for coming, joseph ellis. why did you decide to focus your academic career on the revolutionary war period? what was it about this area that was interesting to you? >> i do seem obsessed, don't i? they asked willie sutton back in the 50s, why do you rob banks? will be said because that is where they keep the money. the late eighteenth century is where they keep the ideas. that is the wellspring, the big bang, the place where the values and institutions under which we continue to live pan-american work created and in some sense they are like our classics, what plutarch were to the founders the founders are to us. >> host: let's sa

the federalist papers, adonned a narrower view of constitutional powers and secretary of state thomas jefferson, also opposed broad national power. what we find interesting is a lot of today's debate over the scope of national powers are actually rhys of alexander hamilton versus thomas jefferson transposed and fast forwarded some 225 years... and actually, we find that -- we found it turned out in some ways non- ideological or mixed ideological, that the different controversies come out different generations and does not necessarily reflect any particular political view today. you willyou will see a lot of people invoking the constitution for political purposes today. i would urge you that if the constitution always agrees with your politics your probably not reading the probably not reading the but your politics and the constitution. sometimes we have gotten some criticism from reviewers for disagreement. most people like the book but disagree with a particular point. which leads us to think we're probably hitting the middle. >> let's turn to some questions from the audience in this last 20 m

it was thomas jefferson who said the american people, they will become less vinl lent.hey would stop paying attention. and, as a result, the government would grow and grow and infiltrate every aspect of our lives and it will begin to control and dominate the people. he said just before we turn into something else, the people would wake up and they would once again take control. i say now is the time to wake up and take control. thank you. >> twisted sister. not quiet riot as my staff and about 2 million people have told me on twitter. got it. copy and rog. >>> one of today's most rocket speeches came from texas senator ted cruz who fired up this crowd. we'll show you what they like best. >> i want to come to you this morning with a word of ho, encouragement and exhortation. all across this country, the american people are waking up. i'll tell you today. help is on the way. >>> senator ted cruise taking on everything from john boehner's surprise resignation to his to-do list when he says he becomes president. well, hitting home, his key message of religious liberty. take

who became part of the new republic lose some people fought hard against joining the nation thomas jefferson called the only monument to human rights and this will deposition of the sacred fire freedom and self governance. stories of competing colonial groups, strong native confederacies and nations and overlapping systems reveal the anglo-american nation that arose from the revolution was not inevitable. in fact the defeat of the most powerful empire in the world and the creation of a lasting republic were highly unlikely outcomes. scholarships and popular memories long portrayed late 18th-century spaniards and indians as people out of time blues spain as a crumbling empire and indians living in ways incompatible with the agrarianism to come. in this you both were incapable of change destined to be overrun by settlers in the united states. in fact they were reasonable at the time and came close to realizing their goals, goals that if achieved would have spawned a different nation of multiple sovereignty. despite best efforts, they did not come in large numbers to help the british, the briti

those years are very important. ,> we go down to the monticello a major gift to thomas jefferson. what are you doing there? i thoughttoured it, it needed some repair so i asked the people at monticello what would be help and they had some ideas. one of the things wanted to do was build out the monticello to make it look like it had existed years ago. it was a plantation so we wanted to build up the estate and make people realize that the monticello is an incredible house designed by an incredible man and a great renaissance man. he was a slave owner who ran a plantation. i think people should go there and recognize there was a plantation and see the slaves quarters. we are also trying to improve the second and third lors -- floors. >> we have about five minutes left. you have a lot of money to give away. speaking about much of your wealth of the next 50 years ago -- 15 years or so. how do you plan to go forward? >> i have less money than some people, but in my case i am fortunate that i have money to give away and delicate things that are areas where i can make a difference. i don

isan: i would say -- david: would say i'm interested in the founding fathers and thomas jefferson and ben franklin, people i have all of it a lot about and am interested in. and also the civil war. abraham lincoln and all these figures that led to the victory in the civil war for the north and the maintenance of the country as it was. time think all periods of as you go through war is very interesting. anyoneouldn't hitler is president i am not interested in. i don't think anybody, though, can really rival george washington, abraham lincoln. but a lot of other president that historic things. susan: do you have a photographic memory? david: i wish i did. i really don't, but i do have -- i read a lot of things and remember them, but not completely photographic. susan: because whenever you talk, you're able to recall extensive amounts of data about particular periods of time. david: my general view is that when you're making a speech or during an interview, you should try to do it without notes. i have trained myself to do that. people feel that when you are speaking without notes, you a

mount vernon captures washington the same way that jefferson's home captures thomas jefferson.it was a product. it was a modest building. second-story that sort of, attic-like. he married well so he had lots of money. he built farms around it. he transformed, he built the mill for grinding grain, he changed it from tobacco and all those things tell a story about washington. his resource, tobacco trade was controlled by the british, he did not want to be under the control of the british even in the 1750's. you can get a feel for those aspects of this very complicated person. it's also a wonderful archive they built in the w. smith library. they also have all the preserved, his farm legers and notebooks. washington as i said, was not a great public speaker, if you had teeth made back then, you could see the false teeth. mount vernon has preserved -- it never went to public hands. it was never dispersed from his collection, i think it's about 17 of false teeth. he had one tooth of his own and rest on this one molar that he had as an anchor but you couldn't tell it was anchored rea

in america, thomas jefferson once opposed copyright laws, ideas are like candlelight, he wrote. himself without lessening mine. he receives light without darkening me. it's a good point. jefferson later backed off that a bit, he said he just opposed the english standard which is ownership forever and did support limited ownership, maybe 14 years. i don't know where the line should be, but when ideas are free, creativity blossoms. i like how journalist matt ridley put it, ideas have sex with each other and give birth to new often better ideas. that helps us all. some libertarians on my show tonight said it would be better if america had no copyright or trademark protection and made some good points, but i have to wonder, would i have written these books if publishers hadn't offered me money? i doubt it. they gave me money because they knew that no one was allowed to just copy the book. i also assume i get paid by fox only because you cable subscribers and advertisers pay for this program. maybe i do this for nothing. i like doing it. maybe. but i wouldn't work as hard and balk fo
