after that, even union records became scattered. we don't know everything we need to know about civil war intelligence because the evidence is just there. that will come up several times as we explore these myths and 3hard intelligence successes and failures. there's not a lot of evidence to support either way. this primary record, that is very thin to begin with, is clouded somewhat by self-serving memoires, by people who were intelligence officers in the civil war. alan pinkerton comes to mind. pinkerton lost all his records. he supposedly had good records in 1861 and 1862. they were all lost in the chicago fire of 1871. he said he had to reconstruct his exploits from, "my photographic memory" that he has. [laughter] then again even the primary players are embellishing somewhat their exploits and records, and that further confuses the actual historical record. pinkerton, as well, takes a good time and attention in undercutting his chief rival, a man by the name of lafayette baker, who claimed to be the chief of u.s. secret service

the union had a great manpower advantage. but the confederacy had the advantage of a lot of separatist movements. you don't have to win, you just have to not lose. all doubt, leave the enemy and wait for the political consequences. the political consequences of prolonged war two -- where the enemy down. during the 1850's leading up to the war american immigration was at its all-time high. we reached up to 13%. it is a little bit below that now. but this was the all-time high in american history just before the american civil war. inwas the largest migration human history, this one between 1815 and 1920 or so. over one half-million immigrants arrived on average per year, and then the war came. 1961t went below 92000 and and it stayed there the next year. what this meant was that the supply not only of soldiers but of labor was suddenly drying up. one of the ways in which the union opened up this flow of little-known,t is is the passage of the homestead act. the way i learned about the homestead act, it was american farmers out

lincoln united us, members of the union at least, states of the union. so we've had great leaders in both executive and the legislative branch that truly believe in the values of this country and bring us together as a people. >> what would it take for a speaker to be able to assert that principle without being driven out? >> well, remember that speaker is elected by the entire house. he's nominated by his political party. the force of his personality is basically, i mean, no one should run for speaker unless they know they can unite people. i mean, what was it that general eisenhower would say we should do to bring people together, it was the force of his personality x. that's the kind of speaker -- and we've had great speakers. most americans don't know the names of our speakers because when they get elected, they're elected by a little, tiny group and a little constituency that no one's heard of. the president is elected directly by all of us. it's in the house that the speaker gains notoriety by organizing members and eventually building up a large e

i should mention that the confederates and many of the critics of the union, said the union will fight its own war. mercenaries, is a term that's always derogatory. means that soldiers were fighting not for a cause not for anything ideological or patriotism, they're fighting for bounties, maybe for adventure but they're not committed. the other implication is they're not really good soldiers. hay won't stand under fire. that tease criticism that they made of some of the immigrant soldiers. people shouting orders and they didn't understand them and they retreated instead of charges. i think it's misunderstanding. but in the army they said there aren't as many foreign born soldiers as they claim. they were claiming that all of the pirates were foreign born and that the yankees wouldn't find the war. there was the argument that this was an immigrants war. the other thing they said it was an embarrassment on the union side in an effort to down play the union soldiers. one of the pro voasts said they're double and triple county because they sign up for the bounty and sign up for another cou

perhaps a union would bargain over the number of games. if the school and union are at an impasse, would athletes go on strike? are these schools ready to make some tough decisions like cutting support to other athletic programs like lacrosse field hockey, or even raising tuition? >> the list of grievances these players presented are a list of grievances that players could have presented 5 or 10 years ago across the college community, but they haven't been addressed. whether or not you have the security of a scholarship, for how long, whether you have health insurance, stipends, transfers...we've been over this. we've been over this and over this and over this... >> it's bringing us into a sea of complete uncertainty. >> the ncaa says it will fight the northwestern effort all the way to the supreme court. >> i'm not saying the ncaa created institutional racism and poverty in the us. but the ncaa consciously benefits, because they put players from a particular background in a position where rocking the boat is lethal for their opportunities

the european union needs to change. it needs to become more competitive to cope with the rise of economies like china and india. it needs to put relations between the countries inside the euro and those outside it like britain on to a stable, long-term basis. it needs greater democratic accountability. above all it needs, to operate with a flexibility of a network. not the regidity of the block. never forget the european union comprises 28 nations of europe. that very diversety is britain's greatest strength. let's acknowledge that the answer to every problem is not always more euro. sometimes it's less euro. let's accept that one size does not fit all. >> doing what is best for britain drives everything i do as your prime minister that. means taking the difficulty decisions and making arguments that people don't want to hear. it's why we have taken the necessary action to reduce the deficit. it's why we're seeing through our long-term economic blan and why we're reforming welfare and education. because we know that the

and when there were fewer union workers working on a fewer union contracts you begin to compress wages downward. >> union membership has been declining over the last several decades. economist samuel rosenberg thinks there's a correlation between the drop and the decline. and says there are other reasons. the other reason of decline has to do with the elimination of well-paying jobs, not merely unionized, but non-union, in the middle of the pay structure. >> organized labour is a force in the united states. about 15 million americans belong to unions. in strongholds like illinois, they pay a pivotal role in getting the members out to vote. >> there's a smaller number, unquestionably, but vote at rates higher than the general public. when you concentrate the votes in tight places, that's enough to get you over the finish line. >> even robert bruno concedes jobs are not the only issue important to voters. if they were, scott walker may not have been appointed. he promised to add 150,000, and fell short by 100,000. >>> that's the show for today, i'm very well in milwaukee. the news contin

lincoln tells his union supporters, i issued the proclamation on purpose to aid you in saving the union. it's very clear what the purpose of the emancipation proclamation is. where can i do this -- go back here. he says, the admission is to save the union. in issuing it to save the union, we must offer them something if we expect them to risk their lives. what we're going to offer them is freedom. we can't expect them to fight if we don't offer them freedom. , andissued it on purpose we've added emancipation to this because like any other man, we need to offer them a reason, a motivation. they must have a motive to fight . that motive of emancipation during he says, once we offer this, we will not take it back. we see that lincoln supports very strongly and amendments to the constitution to ensure that this executive order has more meaning and has a lasting power. the effect it has on america upon african community is huge. for those of you in the earlier lecture, you know what i mean when i say uncle tom. the importance of the emancipation proclamation, it made him, like the disciple t

grant memorial honors the commander of the union army and the two-term president. it is the eastern terminus of the national mall and faces the lincoln memorial, almost two miles to the west, symbolically linking the president and general who fought to save the union. one thing i learned, that i was not really cognizant of, was both of these memorials are dedicated in the same year a month apart in 1922. in april of that year the grant was dedicated. later, i name a, the lincoln was dedicated. may, the lincoln was dedicated. now, it was about national unity after the civil war. the overall form of the memorial can be compared to an outdoor room. 71 feet wide and 44 feet high. i wonder about these dimensions, because i have not measured it. it is the second largest equestrian monument in the world . the architect perhaps does not get enough credit for the conception of this memorial. he really did create an architectural setting intended to function as the reviewing stand and stage. as it appears after several redesigns of union plaza, it is a plaza overlaid on a pl

and the soviet union was watching. and gorbachev who came into power in the soviet union in the middle 80s began to understand that the soviets really could not catch up. and gorbachev came to the conclusion that he ought to try to figure out how to bring the soviet union into this family of nations so that there could be economic prosperity and the soviet union. ronald reagan built up the defense structure and realized they were developing a unique opportunity to change the conflict between the superpowers and they understood that in order to do that, he was going to have to do two things in particular. one, he was going to have to bring our allies together in the agenda and he was going to use nato as a vehicle into the most important allies of the structure were margaret thatcher, transform and own own it cool with germany. and then he understood whose vision might be right but whose position in the soviet union is the position of all leaders in the soviet union was always going to be precarious. so he would have to

the european union must resolve these problems.t a response which is not articulated and formulated together with turkey. so the massive arrival from turkey, particularly of syrian refugees onto the territory of the european union, this is a problem and we have made it have a joint program about this. and we are going to present it to after the european council on the 15th of october and the turkish path on that -- we are in agreement with that convention. and we have now today found agreement on all of the elements of a common policy that we must implement. the meeting today was very serious. the questions about migration, but also our relationship with turkey. there must be part of a picture, a wider picture. we were discussion any further progress to be made in relation with the process, the commission is ready to make the necessary preparatory work in order to open new chapters. this will be done in the next coming weeks. we were discussing in a meeting before the meeting we had with our turkish partners, the issue you of reset

iran faces a threat from the soviet union. and from its allies in the arab world, and more often than not, the response from the eisenhower administration or kennedy or even johnson was that, well, you should worry less about the soviet union and worry more about the internal problems in your country. get your house in order rather than worrying about a soviet invasion of iran, because after all, if there's a soviet invasion of iran, even with all the arms in the world, you're not going to be able to stop them. that will be up to the united states to do that. >> how did the u.s. at the time view saudi arabia, its, iran's large rival to the south in the persian gulf? >> well, in the 1960s, an image emerges as iran as a rising country and a rising monarch. it was a contradiction. you can't at the same time claim to be wearing the mantle of cyrus the great in 2,500 years of monarchy. and then claim this. in the 1960s, the shah was perceived as being on the right side of history, and the saudis and house of saud, even during the r

it would be hard to call this larger site union square. it is very much like a park, reflecting its origin at the botanic gardens. the idea that it was the centerpiece of union square was more conceptual, i would argue, then a physical reality. the reason it was placed there, that was not the original location, was really because of 2 two converging goals. the macmillan plan and the grant memorial commission came together and decided that this site, which was conceived as union square, was the ideal location. originally, the idea was a central equestrian of grant, which is here, flanked by 2 of his generals, sherman and shared in -- and sheraton. they are parcels around the central equestrian. this never happened. what did happen, i think the artist conceiving the monument were inspired and aware of the original idea. the fact that the grant memorial consists of three primary parts, equestrian artillery and calvary, is very much an outcome of understanding what the original concept was for union square. shortly after the grant memorial was

union square was crowded with people. the fire department says in all, 20 patients were transported. five are critical, three have moderate injuries, and 12 have minor injuries. they were all taken to area hospitals. witnesses say it was a chaotic scene. >> and basically, the bus crashes here into the awning, you know, and first things first, like people trying to gather to see what just happened. apparently, got on top, got smashed in the front. he was stuck. they were yelling for help. the wires are cracking. crashed through the muni wires, and also you know, at that point, the awning falls down. and people start running over, even though the wires are falling on the street and it's a lot of commotion, people trying to figure out what's going on. >> you can see there are still a lot of crews here and there's a wire there that crews are going to have to deal with. that dangling over another tour bus. firefighters and police are now trying to piece together what exactly happened. they will be interviewing that driver. we'

, but aimed the terms on which britain might continue to be a member of the european union. they deal with migration. he wants caps and limits on migration to this country. he wants a sort of sovereignty drive, greater power for national powers he wants britain to opt out. he wants key protections for the financial center here in the city of london. how would it all go down with his fellow leaders? well, that is going to be a tricky negotiation. it kicks off in the middle of december, a big meeting of leaders. mr. cameron may have to soften the edges of his aims here, but the balancing act will be to be careful not to water things down so much that he fails to be able to convince the british public of the benefit of remaining in the european union, because the polls at the moment are beginning to suggest that there may be a majority of britons thinking seriously now about voting against european union membership when that referendum comes around perhaps in 2016, but before the end of 2017. >> much more coming up, including egypt frees a prominent journalist but continues to

the european union needs to change. it needs to become more competitive to cope with the rise of economies like china and india. in the support relations between the countries inside the euro and those outside it like britain onto a stable, long-term basis. it needs greater democratic accountability for national parliaments. operatel, it needs to with the flexibility of a network, not the rigidity of a bloc. never forget the european union now comprises 28 ancient nations of europe. that very diversity is europe's greatest strength. britain says let's celebrate that fact. let's acknowledge that the answer to every problem is not always more europe. sometimes it is less europe. let's accept that one size does not fit all. that flexibility is what i believe is best for britain, and as it happens, best for europe, too. doing what is best for britain drives everything i do as your prime minister. that means taking the difficult decisions and sometimes making arguments that people do not much want to hear. it is why we have

i feel a bit shamed that european union, union? for me it's not a union at all. >> maryke is one of the people here committed. >> almost dying, i cannot imagine you can live with yourself when this is your responsibility. >> reporter: the refugees while while extremely grateful for the help know life won't get much easier any time soon. but for many, choosing to stay in their home land may have been an even riskier option. yet the choices between dying in the assess says ahmed and dying in iraq, i take sea. ahmed tells me that he, his wife and four children, have no other choice. in iraq, it is the children who die. presidents don't die, ministers don't die. it's the kids who die. the children try to make their fear recede even if it's only for a few minutes. over 200,000 refugees arrived in europe by sea in october alone. that's roughly the same amount that arrived in all of 2014. aid workers here believe that huge increase the numbers is because refugees are trying to make this journey before the window for opportunity close for

hour unless you are unionized. would you like to be unionized and then you can hire workers for less? if you believe this is about dignity, why would -- there would be two major hotels that are tied to unite here for decades. shortly after that $15 went through, both the hotels' management decided they didn't want to be unionized. in those contracts have never been made public. the press has not asked for them to but there was a very strong suspicion the reason the hotels decided to be unionized does they said they don't have to pay it if you bring us in. i think that is reprehensible. host: we have a special line set aside for minimum-wage workers.

cubans became heroes in the soviet union. >> in the years since he took power, fidel castro has become an enemy of the united states. >> in cuba, you have fidel castro who's tying himself to the soviet bloc. which seems to be threatening the united states by the possibility that they're going to export communism to other south american countries which are in many instances anti-american. [ speaking foreign language ]. khrushchev is saying that you have to understand that cuba matters a lot to us. don't mess with cuba. khrushchev was not just using rhetoric. the eastern bloc was supporting castro with military assistance. >> many latin americans were shocked to find out how much communist equipment castro actually has. >> the sense was that kennedy had to do something about castro. >> when kennedy comes to the presidency he's briefed on the fact there was a plan in place to topple castro. >> but the plan that's presented to him is not what he wants. it's a huge invasion on a noisy beach. it's going to look like a u.s. invasion

the contradictions of union policy in the city. james andrew dehart wrote for the confederacy in a local company in new orleans but once the union army arrived, he went back to civilian life. he probably worried that the butler administration, new orleans, will come down on him. had incited with the confederacy, escape persecution and complication of the property, he fled to cuba in october of 1862 with hundreds of other confederate sympathizers in new orleans. james left his wife and son and slaves, rose and her children behind in new orleans. from october to january, mary dehart plotted to join him. you might ask why did james dehart go to have an odd? why did he go to cuba? pretty much the closest city to new orleans in the nineteenth century. more to the point slavery was still legal in cuba and no signs it was corroding or being undermined by new orleans. mary dehart must have recognized an opportunity to hold on to the only property pgi deharts had, rose. that is why she went to the jail in the winter of 1862 or 1863 to convi

had a military network and was supported by the soviet union. at the same time, the iranian nationalist figures, whether they were republican or monarchists or liberal or conservative, they looked to the united states as a country that would be able to support the cause of liberty in iran. now, there were some who thought that allying with the united states unnecessarily antagonized the soviet union. there were -- there were others who thought that the strategy that you mentioned, the balancing strategy, effectively surrendered iran's sovereignty to these great powers. because the substance of that policy was giving one concession to britain in order to balance a concession that they'd given to the russians, right? and so the position was that, well, this is like -- very famously he said, well, this is like a man one arm cut off cutting off the other arm in order to have balance. but even he looked to the united states. he placed great faith in president truman to help iran resist british influence and british imperialism really during the oil c

no union. the notion of unions as a powerful social force requires a lack of understanding of what's going on in our society that boggles the mind. so what have we got? we've got all the mechanisms in place that allow the business community and the wealthy to control the politics. you all know these stories. they're the ones who fund the candidates; they're the ones who fund the parties; they're the ones who hire huge armies of lobbyists to work on an ongoing basis with whoever gets elected. and they fund all these think tanks that produce endless resources and reports and researchers and specialists for the radio and the television to shape the consciousness of what americans see, hear, and think. and the end result are events sort of like the two political presidential conventions in which not a word is said about the system, not a word is said of the sort i've just finished telling you about in which they each blame each other as if the politicos had the power to do much about all of this. b

harry truman himself was pro union. did he see them being anti-union? >> yes. that is one reason he tried to veto it and would later be reluctant to follow it even if it applied in this case. truman doesn't want to really alienate the unions. that is a whole other dimension which is really important in this case. it's going to be very difficult to maintain his popularity with the unions while at the same time trying to figure out the legal authority he's going to use. it's interesting in the announcement. he talked about failing to do the right thing. he doesn't talk about the law at all in the early statement in the authority to do this. so he is thinking basic political terms. >> this is an argument about expediency and maintaining an on going war effort. he's asking them to step aside and recognize that he and he alone has this obligation. >> asking both branches really to step aside. >> we have facebook comment and i'll tell you at home in a minute how you can be involved in this. already posting on facebook, jesse kil rs roy says look what did he to the co

labor market by the union's. -- unions. i don't think strong unions help the population overall. -- healthy union insiders they help the union insiders but a measure outside of that we can say much about it. what i do think is impressive is that the unions and people closely allied with them have convinced so many people that supply and demand doesn't exist in the labor market and as the caller said there has never been a study showing that minimum wage increases have negative employment effect. that is just not true. host: "when unions demand outside wages, jobs disappear. supply and demand is nonnegotiable." .a. passes al higher minimum wage, the unions exempt themselves in the rules that can capture a large part of the labor market. i think it was a consensus until the 1990's about minimum wage is having reasonably big negative employment effect. there have been some studies, some of them by former labor activists trying to explain away those declines of the last 20 years. i think most of the evidence still ports -- poin

norcross: well, my father was a union leader in southern new jersey. back in 1972, my mother ran as a delegate for hubert humphrey. i remember running around the neighborhood handing out flyers, and that was sort of my opening. and certainly being with my father as you go around to the different sites as a union leader and talking about -- making sure that workers were treated respectfully and they had the dignity of a pension and health care. host: did your mom make it to the convention? mr. norcross: she nominated my father for vice president. i think you got one vote.
