there are more people in mount vernon vernon. i was like ortsmith at first and why? and i realized she said she idn't know where she was going so it was likely those free black people didn't tell her because of fear of her telling he plan. she doesn't know where she is going until she disembarks. once she gets to new hampshire, she find a free black community there who harbors her and giving her housing and food and helps her find work and really keeps her safe. every time one of washington's family members or agents came they sheltered nd harbored her. this book shows the importance of the free black community at the end f the 19th century. .... i know her work. i think there's two children's books. now there's some intest about a yuck adult version. so i'm working on that. tay tuned. >> in the slide you have up there it says something -- you did have up there -- it said something to the effect she remember what year it was i'm surprised. you think it would be burn in her memory. >> yeah, i think it -- it would be burned in one's memory, but -- i'll let talk louder

they do not move the washington family which is across the potomac river, mount vernon. he raised them as his own. throughout the 1760s and 1770s until war called. he went off to command the continental army. martha and by then teenage jackie and patty were sometimes with him but unfortunately patty passed away as well at the age of 13. she suffered from epilepsy which in those days was something that could claim one life in a moments notice. martha and george were despondent. george soldiered on, leaving our nation to victory in the revolutionary war in 1781 at the battle of yorktown. what was a great time for our nation, winning our independence from the british, was yet another moment of tragedy for george in washington. for george and martha because jackie at the age of 26 passed away from a fever that he contracted at yorktown, as well. martha at age 48 have been predeceased by all four of her children but however, jackie had married just a few years earlier and produced children of his own. initially he moved to the tidewater region to live on for this family land

in 1796, they all returned to mount vernon. martha died in 1802. mount vernon reverted back. it just so happened it turned 21. he inherited his father's land. land that was still farmland and river bottoms. wanting to stay near his home, he moved to the river. to give you a sense of that plant connection through our nation and through its history, he referred to it as mount washington. he moved in and began to build, that big mansion that you still see today when you cross the bridge. if you been to mount vernon, , long before the washington memorial. everything about arlington was designed as a public tribute. for most of the 19th century, washington's treasury. they inherited equal parts of memorabilia but spent well beyond his means and was in debt to buy even more. the farm instruments be crafted, not for his own private display but to put it out for the public. people would come to visit, strangers want to do know about george washington. they'd have festivals on washington's birthday every year. public readings of the declaration on independence day. that's what arlingt

mount vernon while he was away. she did. she spent a lot of time there and johnny and the woman became his wife named their first child after her. after the campaign he suffered several more bouts and frequency state of his mother's house to be taken care of. these kind of passages ever make it into the biographies of george and george wrote that she was the main victim. nor do the biographers recognize that george seemed to enjoy soaking his mother's tears. he wrote about the number of forces that got the shutout and a number of muskets that have gone through so he obviously liked playing her and making her more fearful. so, the relationship was more complex and interesting then the story of the victimized. then there's the issue of money. mary stepped into adolescence paired with the suffered from the death as other children of the chesapeake in this era suffered, but it's in a greater degree than most. historians hesitated to try to diagnose what the psychological syndrome might exist from these kind of widesprea

this is the view that most of us have of mount vernon. that is the view from the porch looking out onto the potomac river. is that the front of the house? or is that the front of the house? that's the other side. you know it's interesting. when lawrence was alive he considered the front of the house this because it was there on the potomac river. the potomac was the highway to the sea. the sea took you to england and he saw himself as an englishman. as george takes over the home, he will consider this to be the front of the house. because this faces to the frontier. it faced to the land that he would eventually own. i think that's a huge difference for lawrence and george and help define who george is. he saw himself not so much as an englishman more as an american. george also had the good fortune in 1758 to mary martha, who reportedly was the wealthiest women in virginia. and by marrying her, he married the widow of a gentleman, and by marrying her george became a gentleman. with her wealth and his drive and determination to secure weal

working at mount vernon, they have a distillery. i made different types of alcohol and it was hard work. sometimes it did not go as planned. this suggested there was information and expertise individuals must have had we took for granted. it caused me to rethink the part of the alcohol process, the production and what that might tell us about the history of the atlantic world and how we think about expertise. >> you were making rum the way people were doing it? >> i was making whiskey, i had a chance to make rum as well. not always exactly how it was done. the physical process raised questions that dovetailed with what i was learning about industry and work. >> when you say it did not turn out, did you taste bad rum? >> i remember we did not know how to mix the fermented batches. we came in one morning and the floor was covered in foam. we had some time to reflect as we were cleaning up the phone because it was not really written in distillation guides. but that people would have known from their own experience. >> what should peopl

it is something, we look at the example of mount vernon, everybody is drinking rum. it is served on washington's table. martha washington says rum may always be had. and alsoorted locally from the caribbean. it is having an internal economy bringing in workers who get their wages in rum. enslaved people receive rum for anything from childbirth to getting a cow out of a meyer. it is one of these moments where you can see how different groups of people we don't always think around an item part of everyday life. >> where and when is it invented? k it isgue in the boo invented in barbados in the early to mid-17th century when europeans from england and scotland and native people from south america and africans aboutd in barbados within 18 months of each other. it is a moment when people want alcohol. all of those individuals were used to alcohol. they are far removed from where they had lived previously. certain alcohols don't travel well. and so there are people interested in making alcohol, with some experience. there are new products they experiment with, fermenting t

ver vernon. but i thought it was really interesting that that alleged incident got so much press coverage in both the north and the south, and it's because washington is not only a founder, he is probably the preeminent founder, seems to have had the greatest symbolic importance in the civil war generation and maybe ever since. so keeping custody of his remains mattered a lot to people, and when the union army captured mt. vernon later in 1861 there was great rejoicing in the north because of the symbolism. much dejection and disappointment in the south, again, because of the symbolism, you know, that the enemy had now the custody of george washington's body and his house and there were still some objects in the house that had belonged to him and his wife. so the symbolism of these objects is just tremendous. >> i made the mistake of advancing the slide too soon, but what joan was just talking about is a great segue into understanding still more context when we think about the relationship betwee
