thomas jefferson had only held two public receptions a year. dolley thought one was too formal and the other not enough, so she started greeting guests ever wednesday evening in the white house every time congress was in session. people would wander in, they would be greeted by the madisons and they would roam around the rooms, have wine and food and other things to drink. there might be musicians playing or you, as a guest, might be called on to entertain, reading is or perform some music. and the guests would often be 400 people or more. hence, they would literally be squeezing into the white house. so with few notable exceptions, almost everyone enjoyed the drawing rooms. but the point was that absolutely everyone was welcome whether they were members of madison's democratic republican party or they were the federalist party. dolley was in her element creating this social sphere where people could interact cordially even when they were opponents and very subtly, or not so subtly sometimes, building support for her husband's administration. d

host: if you visit thomas jefferson's home a display on sally. what does that tell you? guest: we've come a long way. i remember initially when the notion of sally hemming in any way had a relationship with thomas jefferson, many white people were agast. well it was the case for most white men who were slave owners during the time of slavery in this country that they had sexual relations with black women, hence a person who is black who looks like me with yellow skin. the reality is that was an many elming practice of people. race culture did not begin in modern era. it began on the slave mantation. at least it has its most extensive expression. there was no me-too movement to save black women many from the ravages of white men. and complicity of white women. but sally hemmings stands as a monumental testimony to the hue manty of black people produced in that union. the children of sally hemming have a rightful place that the labor that built monticello, the intelligence was not thomas jefferson as i lone. he create add family that is part of the american compact. barack

he argued slavery violated the natural rights of man championed by thomas jefferson in the declaration of independence and northwest oinance. according to ashley these included the right to liberty, due process, and the equal protection of the law. however, he eventually came to believe that it was necessary to amend because constitution in order to overturn the dred scott decision and establish freed slaves were entitled to fundamental human rights. he viewed those rights broadly, and he was a outspoken proponent of racial equality. in 1866, he said i wonder how your northern torment can show such hostility to the black man. singularly enough i find in the north as the south that hatred of me gross, not that he is black or of mixed blood but because he is a slave. it is a hatred born of the and notf taste -- caste color. he condemns racial oppression and exploitation. he opposed laws that restricted the rights of freed blacks in northern states, and he supported suffrage rights for freedom blacks as early as 1856. during the war he supported measures allowing freed slaves to fight for

so about the time that thomas jefferson was riding in america, hagel and germany argued that the newspaper had replaced the prayer book, again, one of the biggest-selling genres of literature up until that point, as the -- as the daily prayer. so then the modern secular state, the imagined community, was formed around the consumption of news. and so what interested me about this is the way in which you start to see a ritual consumption of news and information as part of how people organize their daily lives. and that, in a way, also has as its affordance a kind of a blank slate approach. we tend to believe what we read, and then check it later. so the immediate thing is to see what's in the newspaper, take it in and then we deal with things after that. so as the 19th century progresses, you see technologies that increase the speed of production and the sce of transmission for media. things like the lino type, the steam press, that we see changes in models of news away from subscription toward daily sales. and what this means is that all of these affordances that the technology allows for a

on a long history about what the true republican party is, the party of lincoln, the party of thomas jeffersonetera, and republican ideas. we're not that anymore. we've become a regional myopic angry party that is afraid of the demographic shifts in this country, that doesn't understand diversity and what it means to be a true big tent and a party that has tolerance for ideas both on the left and the right and in the center. that's not the republican party i grew up in with jack kemp and christie whitman and 's a disappointment. bottom line, it's trump's party, not the replican party. >> you look at the president's -- the three major republican presidents through the ages, abraham lincoln, teddy roosevelt, ronald reagan, all inclusive, all about expanding the tent. ronald reagan jonathan lemire, won 49 states, 49 states by being inclusive around -- you saw what justin amish said. donald trump was talking about how everybody cheered his petulant joke about mark sanford and a big conservative freedom caucus guy came out and god bless him and he said, yeah, yeah, we were there, it was a dazzling

what thomas jefferson did, james madison did.n't, buthall he was only talking about the fifth amendment, so he was not going to admit that we needed a bill of rights anyway. what happened is certainly by the turn of the 19th century, read the -- remember the believed in direct action because the courts were not going to do anything for normal people anyway gato i discovered some descriptions of that. this woman would pass out come tos, talk about the states that are oppressing working people and to defend the bill of rights. so the bill of rights may be cited as such by that many people of the federalist generation, it is certain that the american people did, that is my story and i'm sticking to it. ok. wow, that was about five years worth right there, don't you think?

we mentioned thomas jefferson, who freed no slaves except for sally hemmings' children, because he was in so much debt when he died all of his slaves were sold. george washington gets credit for freeing his slaves, which he did, but it is a more complicated story than that. note, it is probably the slave, hercules, on the side. george thought slavery was a bad system, a little bit morally, but he thought it was completely uneconomical, because you have these workers who are very good workers in their prime years, but you had to support them in their infancy and childhood, and when they were old. you were supporting a whole bunch of people, only maybe one third of whom were doing the work you needed to have done. he was viewed as a pretty fair master, but if you disobeyed him, he would sell you. not necessarily punish, but sell you away, so that disrupted a family. george was the upwardly mobile, handsome, eligible bachelor, military officer when he marries the wealthy widow martha, and they have two children. they marry and have children. martha, as a widow, has those rights. so she ha

had its new constitution, the question of debt was a major issue between thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton. if any of you are familiar with the play hamilton, it was settled in the room where it happened. that was a matter of honor. in 1868 as well as in the 1700s, the former confederacy was not allowed to pay its debts. now, section five is essential. it gave congress enforcement power using the language that is in the 13th amendment as well and stated congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article. the reconstruction amendments provided sovereign power to the federal government over the states and their subdivisions. mississippi legislators feared the enforcement clause of the 14th amendment would be a dangerous grant of power and might admit legislation in respect to inhabitants of the state. the legislature in both alabama and south carolina were alarmed that the 14th amendment gave congress the power to legislate upon the political status of the edman.an -- they were correct that the amendments were a transformation on the need

thomas jefferson was one of the great offerors of rationality. he was also a slave owner. how do you reconcile that? that is the competition i am speaking about. that is not either or. that is not a collective identity. thomas jefferson believed in a elective identity. at night he had some luther vandross songs. he engaged in sexual relations and had many children with sally hemmings. his loins trumped his logic. when he talks about postmodernism, i don't know who he is talking about. i teach postmodernism. some talked about the insurrection of people who are marginalized. the talked about postcolonial theory. the reason these people grew up into existence and had a voice is because they were denied. our group identity was forced. we were not seen as individuals. when babe ruth -- when it has been great from the beginning, it is hard to understand how much it has been rigged. here we are, driving our sense of identity from the very culture that we ignore. at the indigenous names. saskatchewan, toronto, etc. there is an envy of the kind of freedom and liberty that people of
