but he faced that problem immediately upon saying this. because he wrote, the country has returned or is returning to a state of peace and industry. and the rebellion is in fact at an end. in that elusiveness, johnson has returned or is returning. peace has returned or peace is returned? we see why johnson, himself, even as he denounced congress's takeover of control of war, couldn't let go of the war himself. and the reason was he, himself, relied upon war powers over the south. that what he feared on a most basic level was that if he returned peace time you would see a repeat across the rebel states of what was happening in kentucky in which thousands of u.s. officers were indicted and hauled into court by local judges. and that he could not permit. even johnson could not permit it. in response, republicans why outraged. though they failed to overturn this veto. and they were outraged exactly on the grounds they believed that johnson was lying to them and to the american people. i do not hold the consequences of the war are over trumble

first of all, let me start with the process -- and i've probably overdwelled upon this already. but the idea of letting every member of the united states senate make their case that you have what we call regular order. what that means is that the a senators -- let me use me as an example. i came to the united states senate with a desire to have some accomplishments. one of the things i thought that made sense in this divided senate is in every significant piece of legislation i think that i've introduced i've gone out and found democrats to support, to cosponsor my bill to work with me to see if we could advance the cause. even that doesn't work in the united states senate. you do what you think o. people say let's have a bipartisan effort and we'll get something done. not in this senate because the way that senator reid has led the senate has prohibited that. so as a beginning point i would say that every united states senator has the opportunity to present their case, votes occur and we determine what the senate's will is on behalf of the american people. so process matters. i

i stumbled upon this. think in a 19th century people did know about this. there were books written on both the union side and the confederate side, on the dispute between lee and long street. this was talked about. but by 1898, the civil war was beginning to recede in the popular memory. most of the famous people were deceased. there was a war in 1898, the spanish-american war. new heroes. a new century, new america. weston 20 years we have the first world war. less than 30 years after that, the second world war. think, in the 1950's, the civil war really wasn't as studied or as prominently in the popular imagination as it has become now. that changed in 1961 with the centennial. however, i think the emphasis in the centennial was the army of the potomac, and all of a sudden the big focus became ulysses s. grant and robert e lee. rosecrans, but people like george henry thomas and others who fought in the western just were not discussed much. that has changed in recent years. thele have looked at campaigns in middle tennessee, west virginia, and people have

i think that the way that i am thinking about this is this proposal does not create any new duties upon the officers to report to cps, in fact what it does is it limits the abilities or provide more clarity to the officers in the reporting to cps, to cases involving factors of lethality and i think that is a wise way to limit it and i think that for the folks and i understand the concern from the community, that the messaging that may go out is that this is creating a new situation under which a police officer is going to call cps and create that effect, but, i think under, again, sort of the child abuse neglect and reporting act, officers are mandatory reporters, and they must call the police and they must call cps according to this law that i looked at whenever there is a reasonable suspicious of neglect and that is pretty general and ambiguous language and i think that the intent of this new general order is to give the clarity to the officers. and some very clear steps out in the field, as to under what circumstances the situations that they should contact cps and in fact, it is lim
