virginia biography. for 16 years before that, she was the managing editor of the publications of the virginia historical society. sarah died cancer a few weeks ago, a week short of her 52nd birthday. i know all of us, and anyone who appreciates good writing will miss her greatly. sarah's father kicked off last year's symposium with a typically vigorous speech by pierre gustave toutant beauregard as the person of the year in 1861. he did not do a great job and he did not finish high in the vote. that is the basic concept for this symposium. the talks you will hear today are speeches nominating candidates for the person of the year of 1862. the person who most influenced events, or who exemplified important developments of that year. at the end of the day we will pass out ballots and you will get to vote. as i was last year, i am very pleased that so many of you came to an all day symposium without even knowing who the lecture topics were going to be. and that c-span is interested in not only recording the

she filed a separate suit, lisa, in virginia, asking under virginia law to declare this virginia born child be lisa's child because under virginia law lisa is the only mother to that child. then you have things slowed down because two states were involved. but it was a slow process. a long time with the custody. the court in vermont was setting precedent, creating new law, and it admitted it was creating new moms by having two mom for a child in vermont. the court was cautious. i have to give it credit, in forging the new path, but that's why it took so long and the court was hesitant to completely take her child from her but in the end it did after six or seven years of litigation, order lisa to turn her child over toant. >> the vermont court? >> the vermont cot. >> guest: again, it's because vermont saw this as just like marriage between a husband and wife and if one spouse is not giving visitation to the other spouse, which lisa did stop giving visitation, she argued to protect her child, the vermont court did what under its own view now of families, was going to do, which was orde

virginia. and so the subject of early virginia indians is a fascinating one. and there's no one living person who can better tell that story than our speaker today. we're very fortunate to have dr. helen roundtree, whose presentation today marks the sixth time she has spoken at the historical society. that is more than any other speaker in the 24 years that the historical society has held these noontime talks. those of you who have heard her speak before know what i'm talking about, and those of you who haven't will learn why she keeps being invited back. she is an excellent writer, even though she was telling me she is a bit of an english eccentric in her world view and attitudes about life. somewhat delightfully so, i would say. and she has a rich academic background, beginning at the college of william them airy, where she earned her undergraduate degree, and eventually went to the university of utah and got her doctorate at the university of wisconsin. she wrote her dissertation on virginia

here in virginia or i should say across the river in virginia our own governor, governor mcdonnell heard our pleas not to allow the repeal of our one gun a month law which is common sense legislation that has existed for over or almost 20 years and the commonwealth and then allowed that bill to become law. inspite of our pleas. in our case, this piece of legislation slowed the shooters plans. it didn't stop them but had them worked as part of a seamless web of common sense gun legislation to include incorporating the background checks for those mentally ill it would have probably succeeded in preventing the shooter from getting the firearms he used. now, i'm proud to say that virginia now leads the nation in inserting mental health records into the national instant check system but there is so much further to go and so in the name of mary and reama and in the name of everyone whose families are here representing those lives who were snuffed out by gun violence i plead with our members of congress, do the right thing. don't support legislation that increases the availability of firearms t

unfortunately, in the state of virginia and i'm going to be addressing virginia because we have an enormous problem, we continue to live under the shadows of bipartisan deceit enrichment. many politicians in richmond have fallen prey to their political agendas and fear of the national rifle association and have willingly opted to confuse and cover up these tragedies. the governor's review panel report on the shooting at virginia tech is an example of this cover up. and i have documentation with me if any of you would like it. the state of virginia paid to the victims $100,000 for their dead children and their dead spouses and paid over three quarters of a million dollars to a firm that does business with the state of virginia to write a report that covers it up. that is a conflict of interest by anybody's definition. the report was written to prevent anyone from being held accountable for his or her actions or inactions. we will come here every day if it will help wake up politicians to their responsibilities to keep guns out of the hands of those who are violent and are a danger to themsel

you lose the "virginia." the james is open. and here come five union ships with the "monitor," another ironclad and some wooden ships and they're steaming up the james. lee it was who sent his son, custas, to command some troops at a place called drury's bluff about seven miles downriver from richmond. there is a bluff there. it's not that high, but it's high. high enough so that the "monitor's" guns wouldn't reach, couldn't elevate to fire on the confederates and indeed some of those guns were manned by a crew from the "css virginia." so, these guys got a chance to shoot at the "monitor" again and stop it along with sunken vessels and obstructions in the river keep it on may 15th from shelling richmond from, you know, the richmond port, rockets. so, all lee has done thus far is write this legislation that became the first draft law passed in april. and then in may he saved richmond by sending some people down with guns to drury's bluff. but he's still got to confront george clinton mcclellan and 105,000 union soldiers, who as

and so i do know, and you consider that senator byrd was from west virginia, west virginia refused to secede from the union because of the issue of slavery. and that is why they were punished severely in the western part of the state in terms of what you get in terms of road money, et cetera, in virginia. so i think any number of people have different reasons for rationalizing or why they did what they did, to the extent that senator byrd finally agreed and admitting that he was wrong, i thought that was cute, that's why i would vote against the measure now. he doesn't mean vote against it, he meant that he would not vote against it now. he would change his vote and support it. >> let me share with you two other moments in southern politics, two democrats who ran and won the presidency. first in 1976, a former governor from the deep south, only served one term, like the commonwealth of virginia at that point in georgia, you could only serve one four-year term. and yet he went on to serve this moment in new york city in the summer of 1976. >> my name is jimmy carter and i'm running for

robert krick joins us from the library of virginia in richmond. robert krick, your nomination was thomas stonewall jackson. outside of the south in 1862, how well-known was stonewall jackson? >> '62 began, he was barely known in the south and probably not at all in the north and the impact that he made in 1862 seems to me to be in large part a consequence of that explosion as though on a catapult to fame. his impact on the year in the minds of southerners and of northerners both the soldiers in the field and the civilians at home on both sides of the river went from nothing to a great deal. and that is part of my case in making him the man of the year for 1862. he gave the south the opportunity to look for some success and find a good bit of it later in 1862. they had had none, not a tincture of success until jackson a little bit in march but mostly may and june in 1862 in the virginia shenandoah valley won victories that were of some consequence. they had some substance but they were not as important in actual fact as they were in the minds on bo

john mountcastle joins us from the library of virginia. mr. mountcastle, a pretty compelling case for general george b. mcclellan in 1862, and we have a lot of phone callers waiting to hear from you, let's go first to norman in east lansing, michigan, good afternoon. >> caller: good afternoon. dr. mountcastle, do you think if lincoln would have just let mcclellan stick to his plan and not interfere like a good leader should, that mcclellan's strategy would have actually won the war? and also why do you think mcclellan gets such a bad rap amongst your fellow historians? >> norman, that's two key questions, i think. first, the president was under tremendous pressure not strictly in a strategic sense but most assuredly in a political sense being battered on several sides, there had been success as we heard earlier, along mississippi, they captured new orleans and certainly in the upper reaches of the cumberland tennessee river by forces led by men like ulysses grant, shiloh was a victory even before the peninsula campaign started. so it was not j

really was the best virginia had to offer today.hourses away from confirming a good friday miracle that there was no loss of life. it's preliminary but we're cautiously optimistic that all this rescue work and the pilots at the very end ejecting at the last minute saved a lot of lives. >> you know that area well, so let me ask you about these reports that the base closing commission wanted to shut this down simply because of the encroaching population. what is the relationship? i know this is a pretty military area to begin with, lots of retire retirees. is this something that has caused any friction there? is there any feeling at all that they want this place closed? this is the first crash we know of that's certainly been of this magnitude. >> we're incredibly proud in virginia to be at the home of the pentagon, the greatest navy base in norfolk and in oceania where this f-18 took off from. there's a phenomenal relationship between the military and commonwealth and the surrounding areas. back in 2005 the last commission looked at

, northwestern virginia, into maryland. passing by harper's ferry. dissatisfaction with the pace of mcclellan's movements, especially those in the east, were particularly acute in the congress where after the unfortunate situation that occurred at ball's bluff in the fall of 1861, they formed a committee, a joint committee, on the conduct of the war, and began to demand that the young napoleon come up to capitol hill and explain to him how he was going to win the war in the next spring campaign. mcclellan really resented these people in congress. then, as now, united states congress didn't include very many members who had any personal experience of maneuvering troops or even living in the field. mcclellan felt aggrieved at this. as he wrote to his wife, makes me feel heavy at heart when i see the weakness and the unfitness of the poor beings who control the destiny of our country. this is not from a gallup poll. we should note that in all honesty, mcclellan didn't get along with the congress, although he did all right with

chloely tyler whittle of norfolk, virginia, believed her state had no recourse, but to leave the union after ft. sumpter. and, of course, when she heard about lincoln's request for 75,000 troops, she became even more upset. she wrote in her diary that the thought was appalling. when she confirmed the troops would be down in the south, so wrote in one of her entries, she wrote "secession, immediate secession. lincoln was a primary target for much of their frustrations. due to his distance and the impersonal nature of the executive office, young women had to find sort of closer more intimate objects in which to project their fear and their anger. of course that came in the form of those physically close to them. in particular, african-american slaves that the family owned. foremost in their minds in the early stages of secession and war was the state of the enslaved as the news of an abolitionist president spread throughout thein country cat slave communication network in the south. thu feared that an election of an -- could insight rebellion among their slaves. this, of course, is comin
