half the union force was killed, wounded or captured and among the dead was senator edward baker of oregon who was a personal friend of lincoln and the only senator ever killed in battle. the outraged the north. it was a skirmish when you compare it to what happened in the following years. added to the military passivity, the army was infiltrated with traitors and high-ranking officers had failed to do their duty at the cost of lives. in wartime, americans and other nations of course hunt for traitors in their own ranks. not to mention the persistent har rasment of muslim americans since 9/11. during the civil war yankees have more reason for that kind of anxiety. copperheads were numerous and democr democrats encouraged the resistance. hundreds of army officers had defected. so when union generals seemed to shy away from battle, it stoked suspicion to the point of pa paranoya. chandler, his statue, this was a statue of him in the hall where two statues are permitted. he was dispatched back to michigan and i'd like to think that he will be recovered and restored to his place of honor. he h

the committee also considered confederate atrocities, abuse of union prisoners, dishonest krrtikrrt contracted for the armed forces and development of iron clad ships and manufacturer of cannons and the slaughter of friend friendly cheyenne indians, and the enrollment of black troops into the union army, an initiative that conservative officers stoudtly resisted for years. almost from its inception the committee in the words of bruce tap who wrote a history of the committee's work entitled looking over lincoln's shoulder, it's a good history. i disagree with some of his conclusions but it's well worth reading and pretty well written. a anyway, the committee is nudge, prodding, provoking and occasionally insulting the president. the committee was particularly inpatient with lincoln's conciliatory turn to the south and gradual approach to equality for blacks. while lincoln's speeches hinted reconciliati reconciliation, wade declared the war must be carried on until, and i'm quoting, the absolute unqualified andrebel a total war until there is no source from which they can derive venue, day after year, year after yea

where union forces stopped the picket assault. hi not yet focused on the civil war as my field of study. in graduate school, i came to write my ph.d. dissertation on the abolitionists during and after the civil war. but i considered myself an historian of race relations and civil rights movements where a civil war historian of such at that time. my next visit to gettysburg occurreded in 1966 when i again went as a nonexpert with my parents-in-law that who were returning to their home after visiting us at police tons where i had been teaching since 1962. we went south along cemetery ridge to little roundtop. we stopped halfway along to ad mayor the i am with a -- breaking up an attack on july 2. but i still do little -- knew little more about the battle at that time than anyone can learn from watching the electric map show at the visitor's center which we had done on that occasion. not until my next visit in 1976 did i really know what i was doing. by that time, i had become something resembling a quote civil war historian. i was t

half of the union force was killed or wounded or captured and among the dead was edward baker of oregon, a personal friend of abraham lincoln and only sitting u.s. senator ever killed in battle. this additional humiliation outraged the north. the battle had no significance, it was a skirmish when you compare it to what happened in subsequent years. politically its effect was momentous. added to the military passivity of the months past, these two defeats spread widespread fears that the army was infiltrated with traitors and high ranking officers failed to do their duty at the cost of all of these lives. to put this in a larger context, in war time americans and other nations of course hunt for traitors in their own ranks. you only have to think of the harassment of german americans during world war 1, japanese americans during world war ii. not to mention the harassment of muslim-americans since 9/11. yankees had more kind of reason for that anxiety. southern sympathizers known as copperheads were numerous, politically powerful, in the midwest and democratic newspapers ranted against t

that is why we're trying to organize unions into force is to take control of their own payment, to take control of the position they are in when they face these increases. we are looking at increases of 8 or 9% in premiums around the state. that means there will be roughly a doubling of premium cost in less than 10 years. the cost of medical benefits will be equal to the medium -- median family income of californians. that cannot happen. we will start with the information. we cannot move legislation in this environment without better information. we cannot depend on the legislature to require that we get it. we will have to do it ourselves. i ask you to take this step of adopting a simple policy. if you want to do business in the health care in the city, agreed to full disclosure of all -- full disclosure of all actual cost, charges, and a full reporting system that will allow a purchasing committee to evaluate the quality of the care you are providing. neither is available now except to long delays at the fact at great expense. supervisor mar: thank you so much. i should they'd said bu

forces by stealing collective bargaining. we have had that for so many years. they are trying to limit the ability of unions to represent workers. why are we doing that? they are doing that because they represent -- we represent a force to be reckoned with. we have to continue to develop ways to grow our membership. afscme is doing just that. over the past two years, we have added 50,000 members. we have to keep to grow. other unions must do the same. we represent a force in this country and they do not want to see it. they do now to see working families have a fair shake. they do not want to see the middle class be able to pay for their education for their kids or put food on the table. it is a sick society when we have the top 1% of the country wedding more and more power and more and more wealth at the expense. >> you called it aand assault on unions. where will the battle go next? what lawmakers are you keeping an eye on? what initiatives are you concerned with? >> we are looking at lawmakers. we have to be more active in electing to local posts. we have a recruiting program or we are urging members to

yes, this battle was back in court today with the public employee's unions trying to force the mayor to pay them their full wages guaranteed by their contract. we're talking about hundreds of firefighters, police and other city employees whose wages were suddenly slashed to $7.25 an hour because the city says they simply just don't have the money. when scranton's rescue 1 answered the call today, firefighters had more on their minds than the usual hazards of a dangerous job. their pay has been cut by as much as 75%, to minimum wage, $7.25 an hour. >> i can go down the street and scoop ice cream that a high school kid for the summer is making $8.50 an hour doing. and i have firefighters running into burning buildings at $7.25 and there's police officers fighting with criminals, wrestling in the street? it's absolutely ludicrous. >> reporter: about 400 municipal workers in a city of 74,000 now earn the minimum wage. a city that's no stranger to tough economic times. and now faces $16 million of red ink. mayor chris dougherty blames soaring health care costs, declining property taxes an

necessary, and that due to new gm's continued dependency on the uaw work force and the work force of other unions, treasury officials felt gm had solid commercial reasons to agree to the top-ups for these retirees. also, treasury stated that gm was never obligated to provide top-ups to the salaried or other retirees. in conclusion, mr. chairman, when companies go bankrupt and leave their plans with large unfunded liabilities, some participants will not get their full benefits promised to them by their employer. this unfortunately is not unusual. what makes this case more unusual is the series of events that unfolded over the last decade that lead us here today and the number of players, including delphi, pbgc, the unions, gm and treasury and the roles they played. mr. chairman, mr. ranking member, and members of the subcommittee, this completes my prepared statement. i would be happy to answer any questions that you may have at the appropriate time. my colleague, charles jessik, is also available to answer specific questions regarding pbgc. >> thank you. thank you for your testimony. professor za

the idea that so vast and strong a country could be tamed and forced back into the union by an army of raw volunteers, led by an unschooled frontier lawyer as commander in chief, struck most neutral observers as highly far-fetched if not preposterous. it is in the highest degree likely that the north will not be able to subdue the south british prime minister lord palmerston counselled his own foreign ministry. what's more, the government in washington at the beginning of 1862 appeared completely overwhelmed. the president was increasingly seen as feckless and insufficient. congress was in the hands of a political party that had never governed before. the treasury department was broke. federal spending multiplying as never before. $6 would be spent in 1862 for every dollar spent by the government in 1861. northern banks fearing a panic by demoralized investors had closed their exchange windows in late december of 1861 and were refusing to honor paper money by redeeming it with gold or silver. if the chances of restoring the union seemed slim, even more remote was the notion that a free
