union soiers shared a feel tee to what historians have called the affected theory of union, as in affection. this was the idea that the union was designed by the founders to be consensual rather than coercive, bound together not by force but by mutual affection, the mutual affection of its citizens. these bonds of affection northerners reckoned were what made the union exceptional in the world, a shining beacon of representative government. thus to achieve victory union soldiers like charles sherman felt that they had to do more than vanquish confederates on the btlefield, they had to teach the southern r rebels to love the union again. deliverance rhetoric with its emphasis on the guilt and then the punishment of the secessionist elite but also its plaintiff cyst of the redemption on masses helped northerners maintain this hope of restoring a union that would be held together by heart strings, not by force. moreover for northern soldiers the deliverance of the south meant reclaiming the southern landscape as well as the population. as they marched through the confederacy, union soldiers of

in particular when we look at the economic aspect of it all because it is clear that the european union countries and again in particular the eurozone will suffer very hard from this crisis there are already reports that the eurozone could contract 7.7 percent this year we've also heard for example from germany's economy minister a few weeks ago that germany is preparing for his worst recession in decades so obviously now all european countries are trying to find common ways out of this in fact if you are focusing on that economic aspect and what we're going to hear today in particular if those reports that have come out before the meeting are true is a specific proposal from germany and france in this regard but again it is not only about the economy we've heard also from french sources that this could also tackle other areas whether it's health whether it's digitalisation whether it is the environment so this is indeed a big proposal coming from germany and france. ok but if this proposal is just coming from france and germany of course or many other countries in europe and you're tal

as we explain her unionism there's lots of varieties of unionism and her unionism was very much colored by her family's wiggery, these are people who believe that the south in virginia would be better off if it would develop economically, if the economy would diversify, supporters of whig policy. the family were friends with john minor bots a popular virginia unionist. the sources i read didn't reveal much about her socializing with confederate neighbors, although one has to presume that she did, that that was part of the act. >> first thank you for bringing such an interesting woman to our lives. >> my pleasure. >> but secondly there any historical documents on the life of mary jane after the war? >> that's a great question. as i said there's some friedman's bureau records which again that was a very exciting find for me to find someone that signed her name as mary jane richards, literal, working was for the freed an's bureau in places like georgia after the war as a teacher herself, mary jane richards and she said that in the richards speech in the brooklyn church that i mentioned was

ask me i would rather guess that we will come out of this with a stronger cooperation india paean union than before but of course has been initially a lot of disruptions and problem spot but it wasn't just initially it was really these problems commissioner it wasn't it wasn't just emotionally was it i mean we've had 4 failed summits by video e.u. leaders have gone on rowing and disagreeing meeting after meeting week after week the last failed summit was on april 24th in which they were unable to resolve deep divisions over their proposed recovery found and the amount of cash it should distribute my question to you is don't millions of europeans who are locked up in their homes losing their jobs finding it either tough or impossible to pay their bills many suffering food poverty for the 1st time in their life shouldn't they expect something better from these leaders from these member countries. or do you it's ok to agree that well what am i saying of course individuals should have high expectations on the cooperation between member states in european union but that we have summits that

and union but that we have summits that fail to come to a conclusion it's not a new phenomena that's how it's been all the time in the european union and the right of that was difficult already all read it from the beginning to find a compromise and of course now when the needs are much much bigger there's a need a much more money into this of course is not easier to come to conclusions especially not when you're not meeting face to face so i don't think that we should use this this is not in my view this is not what we are seeing is not a failure of european union we have a lot of difficulties of course but they say these are not new difficulties and we can manage them not a not a failure brule america is a clown show and the french president emmanuel macro says if the is going to die it will die from inaction you say that you get disagreements all the time in the but this is a critical situation because this is a life and death crisis you would expect better under these circumstances wouldn't you you seem very tolerant of all this incompetence and squabbling. well i think of course

considered on peter lavelle 75 years ago the scourge of bashes them was defeated in europe the soviet union and its western allies were big taurus what is the meaning of that victory today what explains recent efforts to rewrite history and what it counts for the efforts to diminish the sacrifice made by the peoples of the soviet union. this and more i'm joined by my guest underneath me good on ya and he's a professor at moscow state institute of international relations and in ottawa we crossed him paul robinson he is a professor of history at the university of ottawa and author of numerous books and russian and history original macross up rules in effect that means you can jump i mean what i was. involved in a lot of well obviously this pandemic here is cancel the press their bodies in russia on the 70 good banner verse 3 of the end of the 2nd world war in europe and the end of. an hour but the spirit here is still very much alive and how is that spirit changed in your mind because i think it's fair to say that the big 3 in 1045 reenergize the legitimacy of communist rule in the soviet uni

under the union guard. he has these people work for the union. have women doing laundry and cooking like that. having them take care of the elderly that they brought with them. what else was he going to do with him? that starts to push the sort of political landscape of emancipation. import royal south carolina, you can see how these contraband camps push the social aspects of emancipation. you have a union presence, self emancipating isolate people, and the influence of religious communities that begin to set up the equivalent of a humanitarian crisis response. bring resources to people who are emancipating themselves in south carolina. they envisioned, these northern missionaries from a variety of denominations, going down to help destitute people in need of resources. they imagined themselves going down to teach formally enslaved people to become citizens. how do labour diligently. how to reproduce families that were sort of moral. and how to create religious communities. they were shocked to find that there were already sort of robust network

unions who risked life and limb for this union underground. according to the memoirs of colonel parker stationed at city point in the last year of the war, miss van lew kept two or three bright shop sharp colored man near the prison. they were always ready to conduct an escape prisoner and place him and safety. richmond underground represents an interracial collaboration under her discretion. thanks to that discretion and that of her agents, her family mansion on churchill provided this way station for fugitives on the journey of confederate lines. the most fabled of those african americans who worked for the richmond underground is the mysterious mary elizabeth browser. rumors circulated after van lew's death and 1900 that during the war, she had planted a black servant as a spy in the very inner santa of the confederate white house. one of these civil war stories you could not make up. an article published in the richmond evening leader of the 1900, first details, as the story started to come to life. according to this article, the van lew's

and union is not a failure for european union this is a challenge that they have to deal with and i'm convinced that we can do it together it is a failure where 19000 the locked up in a camp that is only designed for 3000 and your programs funding the among other things the libyan coast guard result in hundreds and thousands of people being incarcerated against their will raped beaten and sold sold as slaves we're all russian of the programs that you found in this direction no shame no shame. you're happy about the situation you know. you have got to have this odd situation in libya but i may i just answer your question i'm not ashamed what we are doing from the european union i do not see how the very very dangerous bad situation in libya would be better if you were a peon union was not there helping refugees to be relocated out of this camps in libya helping people for voluntary returns out of libya to their home countries if we were not there if we were not there to helping out trying to teach the libyan coast guard on humanitarian rights what would be better if you peon union was

trade deal and citizenship rights remain to be made the united kingdom formally left the european union on the pfaff the 1st of january this year but nothing really changed because a transitional agreement take 10 to by the time required to hobble out a long tail agreement that the government the u.k. government is adamant will be no extension of that sensational period however and 7 senses political reality is bailing him penge on the government's position last week for example they bowed to pressure from new labor leader sucky a stammer about charges for foreign nationals and the national health service mr speaker every thursday we got an carers many of them are risking their lives to the sakes of all of us just a promise to think that it's right that care workers coming from abroad are working on our front line should have to pay a surcharge of hundreds sometimes thousands of pounds to use the n.h.s. themselves. prime minister oh this is because food a great deal about this and i do accept i do understand the difficulties faced by our amazing n.h.s. staff and like in my view the pers

there is a very important difference between this comparison with pravda we are a union of democracies and this is the most important thing that we stick to our values and what can actually be very sometimes worries me is if there are member states that will take this opportunity of the crisis to take stepped away from democracy and away from the rule of law and this is this is what houris me the most then we have member states of course where the governments that are under pressures and under pressure and there is a difficult situation and when the much democracy is and democratic states are coming together of course there's a lot of discussions and sometimes they are very hard feelings but i'm sure that's the kind of the matter able to manage this together and i think that it's very important to make a distinction we are not having any problem we are having a union of democracies well donald tusk now president of the year being people's party said i hope everything can be fixed but the loss of reputation is huge he's talking about damage that the initial response is constant growing

orders and special decisions have been made across the european union for that matter to do you know it's accepted but they haven't they haven't cracked down on people who criticize the authorities the way you have this virus has in effect just given your government the opportunity for grabbing more power and cracking down on opposition hasn't it you don't need these powers are taught you don't need these powers at all . not at all that's far from the truth in fact the hunger in government the christian democratic coalition has a 2 thirds majority in the hungary in parliament why would we have to do anything to increase our power we have an extraordinarily strong political mandate thanks to be hungry and population and thanks to the results of the last elections we didn't crack down or anything we just had to deal with a situation that was extraordinary in every sense of the word mr ball actually for that you say you didn't crackdown but the police said last week hunger and police said last week that opened nearly 90 cases of scare mongering against citizens since your emergency law

look, i'm one of the strongest critics of the european union.ho have been as vocal in their criticism of how things work, or rather, don't work. i mean, i'm very critical of the response — very critical of the fact that the member state governments have been unable and unwilling to address, for example, the migration crisis, i'm very critical of the rule of law crisis we're having on the european union. i've even taken the commission and the council to court. now — but the fact that you are critical and that you're trying to change things actually means that you believe in something, you want to make it better. no, i understand the point you are making, but it seems to me you've got a political problem. you were very critical of your own netherlands finance minister because you felt he was being completely tone deaf towards the italians. but the substantive issue at stake was an important one — the italians and the spanish have pushed hard for what we might call debt mutualisation, to see the massive cost of the coronavirus economy — the crisis

union agency hungary is amongst the best in fact performers of the percentage of how many.cases are looked into following a lot of things there are similar cases with other european union member states i reject the opinion that there would be more corruption or significantly more corruption in hungary than in an average situation in the region or in the in the european union well it must be a comfort for you and other members of your party the fetus now enjoys an effective stranglehold over prosecutor's offices the constitutional court the curia the highest court of appeal and the audit office grand slam to your party to total total control of the organs and just all that is not the case of paul that is not the case at all that is an often repeated political attack by a frustrated hungry an opposition that hasn't been able to win elections for a good number of national elections now they are frustrated they have been unsuccessful but that doesn't make truthful there was accusations that you have just repeated well after mr obama came to power he raised the number of justice

in the ranks of unionized state government employees. the number of union members fell by 170,000 in 2019, a year when u.s. employers added more than 2.1 million jobs. richard: yeah, it is a -- two years before that, we increased members. and the numbers affiliated with the afl-cio actually grew. that is not good enough. that tells you exactly this. look unions have the highest , approval rating we have had in over 50 years. 60 million people according to m.i.t. say they would join the union today if given the chance. the question is why can't they? it's because of the antiquated laws that we have had. the laws that govern us, the labor laws, were formulated in the 1940's. and then another one, they were modified in the 1950's. things have changed so dramatically since then. every other law out there has been updated, but not labor laws. not labor laws. why is that? and you have seen you know there , is a growing inequality in this country. the three inequalities that i talked about. and i can tell you this, john. if that continues to gr

it is called the union league. the most recent book is entitled the most complete political machine that lincoln does have his friends who do write letters to the editor. they are sometimes newspaper ardent -- editors and fight back against the copper heads and the democratic party. in this political machine that is all volunteer -- he did not during this up and say you need to do this for me. this is the wide awakes in the 1860 election that were the bodyguards for republican plus more. the emancipation issue is going to be a problem. we have talked about the confiscation acts this weekend. the militia act when he first american soldiers are brought into the army. people don't like that. voters are very wary about trained black soldiers. the preliminary emancipation act. for a guy who said i am okay with the first 13th amendment, for him to do this in 1862, voters are saying we did not see that coming. he says one thing and 500 days later he is doing something else entirely. so the election of 1862 will reveal tha

mcclellan as to save the union. between this election in we will say november '64 at this point and the inauguration march 4th, 1865. as he will have secured his elections on such grounds that he cannot save it afterwards. so we're going to look at and say what happens if mcclellan had won the presidency, what would he be thinking when he put his left hand on the bible and raised his right hand on march 4th, 1865? what was his policies going to be? lincoln says if he wins it and it looks like he is, it's over. he's not going to be able to save the union. well, will he save the confederacy? is that possible at this point if you elect mcclellan as president? so let's look back at october and november 1864. lincoln accepted or said you can put my name for candidacy in 1864, he said that in january 1864 the convention is going to be in baltimore in june of 1864, we will get nominated and this is the plank -- he doesn't attend the convention, doesn't make any speeches there, this is the plank that they are going to be wr

germany and the soviet union are allies because germany and the soviet union are alies the british plan to beat germany by a long blockade isn't going to work. and on top of that they're also allied to japan. so there's a coalition that's truly of frightening proportions. nobody knows what it's going to lead to. what it appears to lead to is the collapse of the world order. spends most of his early life going into kansas. it goes to the army. top of his class and goes to westpoint. and sees no military service. he saw his military service and he goes into training. it's very important. he spends a lot of staff in the most active of military commands which is that in the philippines and he's number two under mcarthur and then he is a very talented man and does well in the course of the general college and comes top there and he's put in the division and for the army, like for the navy, what goes completely wrong, it's not pearl harbor. the situation has already collapsed prior to that. what goes totally wrong is 1940. 1940 is american foreign policy and that of course is the collapse of

he would make these parody posters against the soviet union. he would sell them in the bookstores and record stores. then the counterculture took over berkeley, the peace movement came in, the hippies came in, and berkeley transformed into a very liberal enclave, which didn't appreciate this guy making fun of the soviet union. i thought my first found these posters is that this guy was some berkeley person who is anti-america, who is doing these things. after talking to him it turns out he was a member of the military, he was in the navy, he was a staunch conservative, and he was making fun of soviet union's and other countries. i thought because he came from berkeley, he had a liberal attitude. turns out he was very conservative and had this story about how he was run out of town once they turned from conservative to liberal. more information on lenin and stalin. original banners and flags. something you don't see much anymore, a map of the soviet union. the soviet union i want to say went through 11 or 12 time zones. this is one of the last e
