vernon. after lawrence dies, the estate actually goes to his wife, but she leases it to george washington. the land was a dream to washington who loved agriculture. but his bliss at mount vernon would be cut short as conflict arose between the british and the french over north american territories. when washington's elder step brothers died, his military commission was transferred over to washington. but he was never really trained. inexperienced yet in command, he led his men on an expedition to tell the french to vacate a british controlled fort. but during a run in with a scouting party, washington's men opened fire, which in turn helped spark the french and indian war. and that was a conflict over who was going to control north america. the french wanted to control the ohio river, which gave them access to the interior, and the british wanted to control it as well. washington served as commander of the virginia militia under the british military. he lost early battles, but nevertheless es

he welcomed people to mount vernon.ing to see the founding of our country, mount vernon is a part of it. they do a fantastic job and lay out washington's job in visual form. more than any place in the world but. >> i regret we cannot discuss your book more because there's so much we have not even touched on. i want to encourage people that satisfy people write books you cannot cover it on tv and radio it the way you should to rescue the constitution george washington the fragile american experiment fit is out tuesday. >> it is out tuesday women our special on sunday, sunday night 10:00 p.m. that puts a visual sense on a lot of this book. but you talking about it your love of history and how you tie that into today is really why i wanted to come here first. if anybody gets it, you get it free. >> it's an honor and you came to the best audience of audiences. you can get this book to say it's released grab your copy tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. eastern i guess yo you would cal her little documentary. absolutely fantastic.

so they left mount vernon in the rain in the cold rain, they came back to washington. they stopped at the lincoln memorial and went back to the white house for where churchill was staying. and that evening, they were joined by the ambassadors of the soviet union and china to sign the first declaration of the united nations. and churchill was amazed that his friend franklin roosevelt had persuaded the soviet ambassador to sign a document that called for freedom of religion. and he jokingly said to roosevelt afterwards, if you lose reelection in 1944, i'll ask the king to make you the archbishop of canterbury. but of course, that never happened. so the relationship between those two men is famous. they met many times, but i feel in a way that this this was the special service they had at the beginning of our involvement in the war, calling for god's forgiveness and for his blessing. he really set a tone for anglo-american relations. and i think the importance for us today is to really remember and understand what what that kind of leadership looked like. you have preside

that's mount vernon. he and you start to see the proximity of where that lines up with the other map i've been using already. there is annandale, the circle at mount vernon. and that circle is where fort lyon and fort ellsworth are. again, in the line, the confederate cavalry go to annandale into alexandria city where fort ellsworth and fort ryan are. there is some certainty in their mind that this is still continuing. that this is going to happen. now, mind you, stuart is going to cross the river about this time this all happens. he captured the wagon train up around rockville. but the federals don't know this, and they can't take a chance. a lot of people say well, you know, all you have to do is look back at 9/11. who knew what, when, where, and who told who. if the guy didn't like the cia, if they had ignored this when lincoln had been kidnapped it would've been helpful. this is a map drawn by a general who was in arlington house. his headquarters were in lee's home, arlington house at the time. me a

that's mount vernon. and you start to see the proximity of where that lines up with the other map i've been using already so just taking one away they're examining the circle the bottom is acting at mount vernon. that circle where for lyons and fort ellsworth. so again, in the federal mine, which federal defender, can we go down the road into alexander's city where fort ellsworth or ryan are? there's some certainty in their mind that this is still this is still going to have. now, mind you, stuart is going to be across the potomac river. time is all out to catch the wagon train up around rockville. they're going the federales don't know this and i can't take the chance. what people said, well, i know now all i have to do is look back at 911, but all hearings about who knew what, when, where, who told what or who didn't tell if i didn't like the cia, see, i didn't want all the commission. if they had not they'd ignore the senators is never going to happen. and lincoln been kidnaped and held. this is a map

vernon. yes. i can always tell. that jack mention the moon compare. yeah. yeah. if you're coming navigation right. if you come here often enough you know when there's a certain light in doug's eyes he answer has to be george washington or mount vernon. and then you have to work way back to what is this good? do they do the mount vernon, of course, was an agreement between, maryland and virginia, about how to do the commercial rights of the potomac river. and it was necessary because of the potomac companies charter, the first company charter in multiples states. and george washington was the first president of the first company chartered. and that happened right here at mount vernon because were supposed to meet in alexandria, the george washington, in his wily way, manipulated them in the meeting at mount vernon itself. and that's the peek behind the curtain there. the good so excellent 100 points for mary bill there and is the question for you so mary bilder what is the deal with mary get last quote what is the deal with madison's notes? oh yeah. so so how do w

thank you, mount vernon vernon, for this session. and thank you, doug brinkley, bill brand's joanne freeman and the mentor. our topic today is not a small one. it's the founders and democracy. and, you know, i was thinking about it for days, but then i was thinking about it even more closely as i was looking at listening to the previous conversation with brian lamb and the other historians. and i was taken back to my graduate student days, which now is almost 15 years ago. and i remember one of the things that we always did in grad school was something called define your terms. you'll probably remember that. and we have two very big terms. the founders and democracy and our first panel was talking a lot about democracy. and one of the themes that often came up is what does democracy mean? and i thought that might be a good way to actually start this conversation is with the idea of democracy and to ask what democracy actually means. what is it that we're talking about when we evoke it so frequently as we did in the last panel, as we

that is mount vernon. you are starting to see the proximity of where that lines up with the other map i have been using already. there is annandale. this is mount vernon. that circle is where fort lyon and fort ellsworth are. again, in the federal mind, for the federals to go to annandale into alexander city where the fort is, there is some certainty in their mind that this is still going to happen. so mind you, stuart is going to be across the potomac river by the time this all happens. he caption a wagon train and they are gone. the federals don't know this. they cannot take a chance. a lot of people so well, all you have to do is look back at 911. it is about who knew what, when, where. who did not tell them. the fbi did not like the cia. if they thought this would never happen, linking could get kidnapped. this is a map drawn by a general who was in arlington house. his headquarters were there. it took me a while to figure this out. this is near the little river turnpike. the only thing i did not know
