let us talk about virginia. until about a week ago, joe biden was behind in the polls in virginia.ng to win that state, we can see over our shouldersjust that state, we can see over our shoulders just across the river. here's a couple numbers. mike bloomberg spent $12 million on the state of virginia alone, joe biden spent $111,000. money doesn't buy you delegates. it doesn't, and virginia is my home state. i can tell you on every commercial break for every tv show, every sporting event — it isa show, every sporting event — it is a michael bloomberg commercial. i think what counted was the fact that vote rs counted was the fact that voters were looking for authenticity, and they are looking at michael bloomberg and asking if this guy is the real deal, or if he isjust trying to buy an election and use his election to sway an election? and folks in the commonwealth of virginia have said they want joe commonwealth of virginia have said they wantjoe biden. they know who he is, they've known him fora know who he is, they've known him for a long time and he is authentic. michael bloomber

in northern virginia. and you know the growth in richmond and that's echoed all across the country where states more populous states with larger cities lean democratic and the more diverse populations there are younger people who have gone off to the city to seek the kind of new economic opportunities whereas states the more rural areas that rely on their traditional economic. resources and industries have remained and agriculture as well have remained more republican so both. the sort of racial dynamic and of the rural urban dynamic in this in the joslin had on of white women in particular in the suburbs particularly college educated turning towards the democratic party against donald trump that held up through the 2800 midterms you can see it in texas where republicans were defeated in suburban dallas suburban houston where were republicans in districts that are probably going to be newly competitive in 2020 you have have retired and sort of put things that were areas of the country that were solidly rep

to win inis projected virginia. he has been polling well going into virginia. that is 99 delegates for joe biden. that is where things stand right now. forll be the go to person the numbers. i will headed back to darren jordon. our white house correspondent is in the u.s. capitol. us in will be joining austin, texas. lesko to john in virginia -- let us go to john in virginia. polls have closed their. a moderatenia is southern state. it is one that joe biden really wanted to win. it has a significant african-american population. --en has done well i will among african-americans. it was a state that was more heavily republican than democratic. it has been moving into the democratic column. there is an urban population in the northern part of that state. by was counting on this state going his way. that would be a major victory for him. carolina, that would be the next place he hopes to have a significant victory. the polls don't close for another 25 minutes or so. biden is hoping to do well here. he was pulling well in the state. 25% of the public voting was afri

that's how it ended up at virginia tech. a family member had the letters and donated them in the will when they passed away. they donated the letters to the archives in blacksburg. whatever happened to that , the one grandson who has all of his grandpas photos doesn't have that one. i keep hoping it will pop up one of these days. this is jones, who i already spoke about on the left, and john singleton mosby on them -- on the right. jones became a right-hand man for jeb stuart, wrote a fabulous book, warriors with jeb stuart, once they finished virginia decided to leave the union. jones had about 100 young troopers. they rode to richmond. eventually, they received orders to report to at the time colonel jeb stuart, and they were mustered into the confederate service is the first virginia from the washington mounted rivals which the name jones had given the company and abington. to -- i groups i speak added this slide not too long ago because many groups, especially out west, they are not that familiar with the first virginia

cnn can project that joe biden will win virginia. 99 delegates at stake in virginia. virginia. cnn can also now project that bernie sanders will win in vermont. that's his home state, 16 delegates at stake. bernie sanders will win the democratic presidential primary in vermont. let's go to reporters covering these two contests. arlette signs is joining us right now. she's over what's going to be biden headquarters in california right now. arlette, this is going to be very good news for the biden

of virginia?oe biden. [cheers and applause] so folks, are you fired up? [cheers and applause] we need him. he spoke last night, you saw him, the empathy. he talked about what it means to be an american. he talked about patriotism. we have got a guy on the white house but doesn't know anything about patriotism, doesn't know anything about empathy. he said the coronavirus was a hoax. [crowd booing] this tragicember day in charlottesville, when a thousand neo-nazis came to our supremacists, i talked to the president that day and i begged president trump to come out and condemn hatred. you know what he did? he came out and said there are good people on both sides. there were not good people. [crowd booing] so it is time to end donald trump and it is time to elect joe biden, the next president of the united states of america, joe biden! [cheers and applause] ♪ mr. biden: thank you, thank you, thank you. [cheers and applause] mr. biden: hello, norfolk. god love you. wow. what -- i've got to start off, m

and in 2007, at virginia tech. that's where activist lori haas' daughter was shot twice in the head, but survived. >> the will of the people of virginia was made very clear in november, when they elected a gun sense majority and we have come here to this body expecting them to get this job done. jessica: freshman legislator and army veteran dan helmer ran on gun control. >> i think we can both swear to uphold the constitution of the country and va as i have and also be in support of recent gun gun jessica but after : thousands of protestors descended on the state capitol in january and dozens of virginia's cities and counties passed "second amendment sanctuary" resolutions. >> out of my cold dead hands will you get my weapons. a senate committee voted to post-pone the most restrictive of the bills. it would ban the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and the possession of high capacity magazines. >> this new majority really struck a nerve in the heart of every virginian that holds the second amendment near and

virginia. vermont is bernie sanders home state. cnn can project that joe biden will win virginia. 99 delegates at stake in virginia. joe biden will win the democratic presidential primary in virginia. cnn can also now project that bernie sanders will win in vermont. that's his home state, 16 delegates at stake. bernie sanders will win the democratic presidential primary in vermont. let's go to reporters covering these two contests. arlette signs is joining us right now. she's over what's going to be biden headquarters in california right now. arlette, this is going to be very good news for the biden team. >> yeah, wolf, it certainly is. it could be the first sign that joe biden has benefitted from the past 72 hours after he emerged in south carolina with a decisive victory and also picked up a key number of endorsements from his rivals as moderates are beginning in some cases to coalesce around joe biden. and biden also was trying to court african-american voters in virginia. that's a key part

what you see is that poor old virginia, you will see virginia is blue from beginning to end. people are fleeing virginia, and most of the white people are going to the north. here in the first decade, it goes down the shenandoah valley into east tennessee, and a hard right up the road to central kentucky. this is the first frontier of the south. at the same time, this is the first decade of kotten expansion, they are moving into south carolina. you will notice from the earlier talks we've had, this land is occupied by the cherokee, as you can see. all of the lands that have diagonal lands on them are lands still in native possession in 1790. this is the black population change at the same time. we will toggle back and forth. you can see why people are not moving to the same places where they are taking enslaved people. enslaved people are moving into the piedmont of virginia and into the piedmont of what becomes georgia and south carolina at the same time they are moving enslaved people into the bluegrass region of kentucky. in the next decade what you see is how rapidly this

in virginia.m surprised that he's won by a significant enough and clear enough margin that we're able to call it at poll closing. that has to be a source of great cheer for the biden campaign tonight. this is a state where bloomberg and sanders were contesting it. >> they were worried about some of the people that live and work in d.c., young, democratic voters who are very active, very policy savvy being very excited about and attracted to sanders and warren. i think they are very heartened by this win and this call. >> steve, now that we can discuss what we know and what we knew before polls closing, what kind of a night does this indicate to you? >> this call in virginia with no returns in, just based on the exit poll that has echos of what happened on saturday in south carolina. this is a huge development to start the night. let me show you a couple of reasons why. one of the reasons why you're seeing this call right now, it is the breakdown. we talked about black voters in virginia, look at t

and then she entered what was then west virginia state college, now west virginia state university. and she left us in 1937 at the age of 18 and she had never looked back. so in 1937 when katherine graduated from west virginia state university, she went into the field of teaching. she was inspired here and understood the very significance of teaching and paying it forward. and so she went into teaching for about 13 years. katherine entered nasa at a time when african-americans and america overall was still living in dual worlds. we had a white america and an african-american america. and katherine was having to very delicately walk in both worlds. and she went to work every day and gave nasa and the astronauts none of who looked like her 100%. and she said in spite of how i'm treated, where i can go and eat, what i can do, i'm going to come here and fight to make sure i do the best job possible for my country and for the space race. so while at nasa there were three significant space ventures that katherine played a very significant role in. one was alan shepherd, who was the first

-- presidency was a win in virginia.se of you. , you and timat have changed the landscape here. you have changed the landscape of the country, and here is the deal. to all those who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. this is your campaign. just days ago, the press and the pendants declared my candidacy dead. heart of theo the democratic party in south carolina, i am very much alive. and you know, the interesting thing is that on tuesday here in virginia, you could be launching pad to the past to beat donald trump. you know, this campaign has taken off, so i ask you all to join us, and anybody watching this on television, i want to joebiden.com,o sign up, volunteer, contribute if you can. we need you and we will use you and we will take advantage of all the efforts you can provide for the campaign. there is a place in our campaign for you. you know, the next few days, democrats all across the nation here in virginia will be voting on super tuesday. the moment to choose the path forwar

preservation virginia is very pleased to be partnering with the virginia museum of history and culture, and we thank them for their participation and for hosting all of us here today. we're especially honored by the presence of our participants from the virginia tribal nation, as well as representatives of the cherokee nation and the poach creek, who are also here today. i especially want to thank and acknowledge our symposium sponsors who help make this possible. for more than a century now, preservation virginia has been the steward of the john marshall house. we've been caring for the house since 1911 and acquiring furnishings and artifacts that help us interpret the legacy of chief justice john marshall. this is the house where marshall lived for 45 years and it provides insights into his life and work, not only as a well-known and significant american jurist, but also as a man who was a family man, a husband, a father, an engaged citizen of richmond, contributing to the civic life of this city, despite his many absences for his extended public service. and i'd like to say that we'

with joe biden at the top of the ticket, we will sweep virginia. spanberger, we got great new dynamic members of congress. who is it? the great thing about joe biden, you need swing voters. who is and we can send to south side and southwest virginia to take our message across the commonwealth? joe biden. [applause] >> folks, are you fired up? [cheers and applause] >> his speech, you saw him. the empathy. he talked about what it means to be an american. he talked about patriotism. we got a guy in the white house who doesn't know anything about patriotism or empathy. he said the coronavirus was a hoax. thatber this, when we had tragic day in charlottesville, when 1000 neo-nazi came to our state. i talked to the president that day and i baked president trump, come out and condemn hatred. do note he did? he said there were good people on both sides. [booing] >> so, it is time to elect joe biden the next president. [cheers and applause] >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> hello, norfolk. [cheers and applause] >> god love you. wow! i've got to start o

look at virginia. fact, lookemarkable at how many black people are being taken from throughout virginia, and yet virginia remains the largest slave state until the civil war. more people held in bondage here than anywhere else, but also more people sold out of virginia than anywhere else. one way to think about this is this would have been one of the most dangerous places to have lived in slavery because any day , your children could be sold from you. this voracious hunger of alabama and mississippi, and now look up and down the mississippi river going over to louisiana. we also know that in louisiana, and you can see how densely it is burning down there, the sugar regions. they wanted young men. 90% of the men they would buy in virginia, 90% of the people they would buy would be male. the women they bought were girls , and as soon as they could possibly have babies, they would have children. infant mortality was horrific. what do the dots mean? it means to million enslaved people were moved in the sou

virginia. pleasure togreat introduce kenneth. as mentioned earlier today, on confirmation virginia board of trustees. it was at his urging that this symposium came to be. the chief served as a strong advocate for the federal recognition -- chief lead up to 2007, adams actively participated in the jamestown committee and activities associated. i can say we spent a lot of time together. events around the state. his leadership and persistence ensures that commemorative events reflected respective indigenous people, their culture, and governments long before the ships arrive to jamestown. he brought the lack of a permanent memorial on virginia capitol grounds, as did other cabinet leaders, to the ,ttention of governor kane resulting in the formation of the virginia indian commission, in 2018. chief adams has generously dedicated himself to numerous organizations across the commonwealth. it is an honor to introduce the chief adams -- chief adams. chief adams: thank you for the kind words. todayan ho

plan because it was introduced by the virginia governor randolph. introduce the articles of federation with a centralized constitution with power over just the thing that franklin and washington had been asking for. centralized power over war and peace international commerce the power to tax and spend for the general welfare state power over the frontier, power consolidated power over the military. these were what they had been arguing for and those which appear in the virginia planet would eventually work their way into the when washington arrived in philadelphia as soon as he dropped his bag franklin is now 80 years old, after he dropped his bag at robert morrison's house he goes immediately to meet with franklin and goes to franklin's house. they meet regularly during the constitution convention because they know they are together because of their stature keys to his success. they both had been pushed for having a constitutional convention in the first two states call for constitutional convention were washington virginia and franklin pennsylvani

this is really cavalry time in virginia. the two rival cavalry forces fight three major actions against each other in a seven-week period of time. the yankees are chased back out of culpepper. the reconnaissance gives general meade only the information he needs, which as you do not want to go west. that is not the way to get at the rebels. at the same time this is happening in madison county, the battle of chickamauga and longstreet's divisions have arrived at the nick of time. now the crisis is on the other foot. in early september, it with the -- it was the rebels desperately figuring out how to stay in chattanooga. now it is the federals. they order all reinforcements in the west to go to the threat point. grant is plucked out of cooling his heels and doing virtually nothing after his vicksburg victory and told to go to chattanooga. he really wants to fire rosecrans and is happy to do it. it seems like more needs to be done. the federals have to make the same kind of decision that davis and lee were making a few weeks ago

so she and her family have to travel two hours to come to west virginia state university, we had then an elementary and a high school which was part of the university at that time, so young catherine johnson, with all of her mathematical skills, and intelligence came here, and she graduated at the age of 15. then she entered what was then, west virginia state college, and now it's university, she left us in 1937 at the age of 13, and she is never look back. in 1937, one catherine graduated from the university, she went to the field of teaching. she was inspired here, and understood the very significance of teaching, and paying it forward. so she went into teaching, for about 13 years. catherine entered nasa at a time where african americans, and america overall was still living in dual worlds. we had a white america and an african american america. and catherine was happy to delicately, walk in both worlds. she went to work every day and gave nasa, and the astronauts, none of you look like her, 100 percent. and she said, in spite of how i am treated, where i can go and eat, what i can

you had the 8th virginia. the 8th virginia was a local loudoun county unit. six of the ten companies were from loudoun county. the other four were from neighboring counties. so, that's the home team. those guys knew that area. they had some artillery. the first company of the richmond were there, authorized for six guns. they actually had four. they had two 6-pounders and two 12-pounder field howitzers. early october, they get a fifth gun, which is identified only as an iron-rifled gun. don't know exactly what that was. i'm guessing it was a parrot captured at manassas, but an iron-rifled gun, okay? so, five pieces of artillery, which the confederates did not use at ball's bluff. they didn't bring any artillery to ball's bluff. they had calf ralph, about 300 men divided into five small independent virginia cavalry companies, all of which became later part of either the 4th or the 6th virginia cavalry. so, this is a roughly 3,000-man brigade commanded by nathan evans, colonel, often called general, but at the time, he was a colonel. nathan evans, shanks evans,

carolina, which does everything that virginia did first -- [laughter] the same reasons as virginia. but you are right. they should not be treated as a whole. they may have all had a series of concentric circles. they may have had overlap in which some of the same issues were driving all of them, but they all had their own separate motives. that is one of the reasons why you have the border states, particularly kentucky and choseri, but they not to succeed because certain things were as important to them as they were to south carolina and georgia. in the course of someone having a chat about the civil war and a 40 minute lecture about the war, it probably will deal with the south as a unified bloc simply for the sake of time. but there never was a solid south. there is not a solid south today. so you are quite right. thank you very much. i was really impressed when you talked about people's emotional reaction to the war. there is this field of study called emotional studies, which i am learning about. one of my frustrations in talking to people about the war is that they overestimate

you can see maryland and virginia as the dividing line and modern west virginia up there in the corner. the second is loud and county map. loud it is really easy to recognize because the county is shaped like a big fat elf are allowed in. you can see what is important about here is just kind of brings it in a little bit closer. we've got the road intersection. today seven running east and west was called the alexandria to win chester turnpike, these are the modern roads that were straightened. basically the trains with the understanding in a difference and chronology. alexandria to win chester turnpike, an important role because went into the shed and how valley that is important. intersecting with that lead spurred by the courthouse is the north-south running route 15, called at the time the carolina or old carolina road, ran from rochester all the way down to rally north carolina. at the time that was the interstate. that is a major north-south or affair at the time. it was an invasion route. extremely significant road. that intersection mattered you also have, as you can see on the

north carolina does whatever virginia. -- had somewhat the same reasons as virginia. they shouldn't be treated as a single. they may have all had a series of concentric circles. they may have had overlap with some of the same issues for driving all of them. but they all have their separate motives. border states, particular kentucky and missouri which had many of the same causes in effect in their boundaries but they chose not to secede. because things weren't as important to them as they were to south carolina and georgia. course of someone having a chat or maybe a 40 minute lecture, they probably will deal with the south as a unified simply for the sake of time it's easier to do it that way. but there never was a solid south. so you're quite right. thank you very much. i was impressed when he talked about people's emotional reaction to the war and there's this field of study called emotional studies which i'm learning about, one of my frustrations and talking to people about war is that they underestimate the impact of emotion in driving people's actions. they think

this is really cavalry time in virginia. the two rival cavalry fourss fight three major actions against one another in a seven-week period of time which is unprecedented outside of a major campaign. the second battle of brandy station, the battle of culpeper, and jack's shop. stuart responds aggressively, manages to chase the yankees back. he believes that the reconnaissance gives general meade the information you need, which is you don't want to go west. that's not the way to get at the rebel rebels. at the same time all this business is happening in madison, out in georgia the battle of chicka mauga. they chase the federals back into chattanooga. brag follows. against long street's advice, doesn't strie to outflank them but lays the army of the cumberland under siege. now the crisis is on the other foot. in early september it was the rebels desperately figuring out, how do we save chattanooga? now in late september, it's the federals trying to figure out, how do we save chattanooga? and of course they order all reinforceme

virginia the last large state, both critical to success. and through it all he's pushing washington to be president. there was any doubt in his mind who had to be president. that was the situation but age was a factor because franklin was literally a generation older than washington. this is back when people didn't live as long as they do now. thank you. >> is a true we did not finish repairing our debt back to france after the revolutionary war wax and secondly, if we ended up turn our back on the french and trading with the british, which led to the quasi-war, why did we do that? >> good questions, and i'll have to direct you to a different book i wrote, the magnificent catastrophe, with dealing with it. but washington and franklin both, if you read washington's farewell address as president, he really warns about two things. he warns against partisanship and he warns against entangling alliances with foreign countries. franklin felt exactly the same way. franklin came back to pennsylvania. the reason why he was willing to serve as govern

there is a massive salt mine is virginia. a huge amount of army resources are put into this place in western virginia that, for the most part, is not near any of the battles. but it is heavily fortified. they are constantly sending slaves out to build better fortifications, building rail lines to connect salt to the rest of the confederacy. you cannot preserve the food if you don't have salt. each state is put in charge of handing out salt rations to the people. this goes to the county level. the county governments are told, you have a pound of salt per person. or five pounds of salt per person. it varies depending on the season and how much my need to be preserved. they you have been alloted, send someone from your county to pick up your salt and make sure he gets distributed. this is another sort of industry that is being nationalized and that the process of distribution that is being handed back to local governments to make sure it happens. i have read through the correspondence of the governor of virginia. there are month

the state of virginia, and the fall of 1862. the state of north carolina, later in the fall of 1862, palazzo place to get together and make slave holders give up their workers. for several months at a time. and send them to -- fortifications, do all of the labor. the manual labor that the army needs. that is going to bring cold war people out of the fields. it starts in october, when the harvest is still going on. it is continued into the spring, into march, when the spring planting needs to happen. so, those factors as well are reducing the number of people who were available to grow, and maintain, and then harvest the crops. many of the food producing areas in the confederacy, leading up to the brand it runs. another key factor in people's a ability to get food, if you live in the city, and you are not growing your own food, how are you getting it is you've got to go to your local stores, or from local producers. the cost of stuff is going up dramatically. what things are there, are getting to be more expensive because of infl

so our virginia voters and virginia democrats i think we're used to voting every year, we have an electionten real used to this, and we have a pretty darn good track record of picking the nominee. part of that is we're a diverse state, and we're diverse not just in ethnicity, but diverse in our geography and our economy. and so in the end, i think that and hope and will work very hard to ensure that we stay focused on the end goal, which is defeating donald trump. >> you know, chairwoman, i remember a few months ago when congressman gregory meese of new york was on our show and he told us that bernie sanders shouldn't be allowed to run in the democratic primary because he's not really a democrat. i know you're not endorsing anyone because of your position right now, but do you think bernie sanders is a democrat? >> well, look, that really doesn't matter. >> no, no, no, i think it does matter how people view him. >> but it is not up to me to -- yeah, and -- listen, here's the thing, i have confidence in virginia democrats. and the voters that go to the polls today that they are savvy enough

they are in virginia. and they are in tennessee. and they are in the upper mississippi river valley. these are the places that grew most of the food. particularly, the big wheat farms of the slave-holding states were in these regions that are more heavily invested and have armies trampling through them far more often in the first two years of the war than some of the places that would have been primarily growing things like cotton and sugar. so that's another key factor. i mentioned already the blockade has started to be effective. it is not keeping out everything by 1863 but it is keeping out enough things that that makes a difference in what people can get ahold of and how much it costs. so wealthy people might still be able to get things, but the people who are involved until these bread riots are really going to struggle to get commodities. not bread so up in. but coffee. things that had to be imported into the confederacy. two other key factors really tied to approximately sees s set -- really tied to policies set in place by t

having one virginia and north carolina, both substantial victories.hey'll be up against a number of other contenders for the nomination, including senators and a billionaire. the race to chose a democratic nominee to take on donald trump in november will enter a new stage in the next few hours. it's super tuesday — the day lots of american democrats go to the polls to pick a candidate. at the very least this day has already shaken up the race — forcing some candidates out and catapulting others to the front of the pack. polls have already closed in eight of the us states taking part in the super tuesday primaries. senator bernie sanders is projected to win vermont, his home state, whilejoe biden is projected to win virginia, a major victory for the former vice—president. two major victories for the former vice president. but we won't know exactly how many delegates each candidate has won until later. in the past minute, we've had these projections from cbs news. three states are currently pretty good to be in some form of a tie. maine and oklahoma are

he anticipates -- of northern virginia. he anticipates a march south into spotsylvania county in an attempt to get between lee and richmond. lee's answer to that is the same answer he will have in may, march down the orange turnpike and plank road and hit the federal columns and stop them in their tracks. for the federal's when they finally get their advance going, things are not going to go well. so, the movement finally is launched on the 26th of november, thanksgiving day. the federals begin to move. and the rapid dam is still up. but the real problem comes on the federal right flank, which is the third and the sixth corps. the two strongest corps are on that side of the advance, and leading the advance is major general william f. french, who has commanded the third corps since the aftermath of gettysburg. he brought the division in to reinforce it after gettysburg and he gets the job by seniority. french, west point 1837. good mexican war record. service in the war. helped write an artillery manual way to general henry

host: that was senator bernie sanders in virginia beach, virginia tonight.e, california tomorrow, crisscrossing the country. we will have live coverage of the sanders campaign at about 4:30 eastern time, give or take. 14 states are competing for just over 1300 delegates on super tuesday. get to your phone calls, we expect to hear from tom steyer in about 10 minutes, at about 9:15 eastern time. he will be introduced by his wife. courtney from lynchburg, virginia, go ahead. caller: hello, i'm calling from lynchburg, and i have to say as a former south carolinian, i am not really impressed with bernie sanders or with joe biden. host: who is your candidate? caller: i don't have a candidate at this point. host: thank you for the call. tonight ine earlier north carolina, in charlotte, north carolina, a speech by michael bloomberg. we also expect to hear from senator amy klobuchar. the speech is also being streamed c-span.org. we go to renda in goose creek, south carolina. did you vote in today's primary? vote, i ament in my a photo from south carolina and i helped

now with richelle carey for the latest vote count richelle right erin so the polls are closed in virginia and vermont and parts of alabama just to make it clear that's all on the east coast of the united states and early results show that former vice president joe biden has taken the state of virginia let's go a little bit up further to vermont right there of that is for bernie sanders is the sitting senator since 2007 been a member of caught represented in congress since 1901 yes he is also going to win his home state so by this projected to win at least 16 of the 99 delegates that are up for grabs in virginia you win a state but you don't get all of the delegates allocated proportionately so right now this is where the number stand joe biden is leading with 69 delegates actually ahead of bernie sanders this may or may not last but that's actually the 1st time this has happened since we all began this a few weeks ago bernie sanders and 68 and the senator from massachusetts elizabeth warren right now it's 8 delegates the magic number they need to get to is 1991 not tonight there are still

governor, thank you for that introduction and future governor of virginia.k, i don't know if you there was a night primary in south carolina.

they later moved back to hanover county virginia. in dolly's telling, she was born during a visit tour uncle. that is not true. ne isems that john pay seeking out some opportunity that does not work out and they go back to virginia. she also claims later on, when aty moved back, they lived patrick henry's house in hanover county. patrick henry was a relative of her mother, but they did not stay there. makes up false memories of things she remembers seeing in scott's town like black marble metal pieces, which did not -- mental pieces, which did not exist. and to have her parents not seem like wanderers. very interesting. up happening is her father goes back to being a planter in hanover county, virginia. he frees revolution, his slaves and moves to philadelphia. 15 movesison at age with her -- dolley madison at age 15 moves with her family to philadelphia. going to the big city must have been a whirlwind of inexperience. a completely different way of dealing with the world. her father of course had been a planter and slaveholder. what

he has predicted wins in virginia, north carolina and alabama. former front runner bernie sanders has won his home state of vermont. six other states are predicted. and expected that three other states could go either way with other contenders including senators and of course 1 billion out. —— one billionaire. the race to chose a democratic nominee to take on donald trump in november — is entering a new stage. it's super tuesday — the day lots of american democrats go to the polls to pick a candidate. even in the runup to today, the pack was shaken up — with some candidates forced out and others catapulted to the front. polls have already closed in twelve states with early results projecting that bernie sanders has won his home state of vermont and joe biden has taken virginia, north carolina and alabama. three states are currently predicted to be some form of tie. the past couple of minutes, cbs have confirmed that three more state will be a tossup between joe biden and senator sanders, they are texas, tennessee and minnesota. voting continues i

let's send him to the university of virginia. together, we are going to end private prisons and detention centers. we don't believe that corporations should make profits locking up fellow americans. will and the so-called war on drugs. turns out, through executive order, a president can legalize marijuana in every state in this country. [crowd chanting "bernie"] but in addition to making marijuana legal, what we have got to do is expunge the records of those arrested. and when we talk about broken systems, we need to undertake major reform of our immigration system. restore thewe will legal status of the 1.8 million young people eligible for dhaka -- for daca. under our administration, federal agents will never go .bout snatching babies our administration will put together bipartisan legislation for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship. about thee talk issues that the american people is thinking about, there horror all over this country about the level of gun violence that we see. so let me simply say this t

he had been to the virginia convention. he had served under patrick henry who he later comes to very much opposed. he attends the continental and infederation congress philadelphia from 1780 to 1783. in 1783 when he is in his early 30's, 15-year-old dolley paine moves from hanover county, virginia, to philadelphia. she's a teenager and he a grown man serving in congresspeople -- congress. he has a long spell in the house of delegates. through which he very consciously worked towards his strong ideas about religious liberty. what he calls freedom of conscience. the critical time, the months he spends in 1786 studying constitutional theory, history and philosophy here at montpelier. drafting what will become the virginia plan and his study of former attempts at representative government in his notes on ancient and moderate confederacy. madison believes the most important right is what he calls freedom of conscience. he means freedom to think and to think what you want to. he thinks from that liberty, all of the others derive.

overwhelming victory in virginia.namic, at that point it was sort of like the wizard of oz comes back wait, that's the guy in the ad? he just didn't recover from that. >> he was not able to live up to what he had portrayed in the ads. and he was attacked from all sides on that debate stage and was really unable to recover from it. bloomberg has been a player in virginia for a year now. he was a big player in the special elections in 2019. he has had a foot hold there with various causes that he has been a part of. and joe biden only held one rally there and, again, this is where endorsements have come through for him former governor terry mcauliff, clinton confidante. he endorsed joe biden and worked hard for him. tim kaine moving through that joe biden can move to texas tonight. the ones we are waiting for and if he can maintain texas which, at this point, given the momentum it looks like he will and then gather some votes in california, he could actually come out on top tonight and leave bernie sanders behind. so th

they have to go over the border to virginia or pennsylvania. i believe brunswick troops from burgoyne's army were there for a while. we call german auxiliary troops hessian. they came from many different for the polities within what is now germany. brunswick was one of the larger contingents that were captured at saratoga. yes? >> [indiscernible] >> shirt. charleston -- sure. charlson is an interesting case. henry clinton decides he wants to do something different than howe did. people parole the entire militia. but then these paroled militiamen will go off and join the forces, break their parole and he will become enraged because they did not play by the rules. when cornwallis takes over, he will retaliate on those prisoners violently. the continental army troops are initially kept in the barracks in charleston. but then when these violations of paroles happen, the british commander, i believe it's nesbitt balfour, put them month prison ships to punish them for the violations of the rules. yes? >> thank you for your work. it's very novel and i

for example, in virginia they put their own spin on the conscription laws. and so the conscription law, which i mentioned but we really didn't talk about. the conscription law for the confederacy says if you have 20 or more slaves you get one exemption from conscription. by the end of the civil war confederate conscription covers all white men ages 17 to 55. but if you have 20 or more slaves you get an exemption. you're supposed to use the exemption for the overseer or the owner, the person who maintains the farm or who runs the farm on a day-to-day basis. and the reason for this is you have to keep feeding people. you have to keep the farms going. you can't keep the farms going if there's no one making the slaves work. so the conscription policy is designed to make sure there is someone on the ground making sure the slaves are doing the work and growing the food that the army needs to eat. what we'll see is the state's putting their own spin on these conscription laws and saying if you don't grow a food crop as your primary crop, wheat, corn, you raise pigs

[applause] excellent.: thank you for coming out. ellen, thank you so much for that kind and generous introduction. i'm just going to grab my pointer. it feels like a homecoming to be back here at anderson. the project that ellen just described and what i am about to talk about, the book that came from that project, was really born here. this is my first archival trip as a historian for this project. when i was working on a dissertation at johns hopkins on this issue. i did not know what i was again for. i had a question, i wanted an answer and i started to find those answers here. is a great privilege to be back. it took me 10 years from that initial question to come up with this book that we will talk about today. with that, let's talk about it. what is this book all about? in short, as ellen told us, this book examines how

having won the state of virginia.sident trump today also meeting with a group of republican lawmakers at the white house. they are seeking to find a common approach with which to make major changes in the foreign intelligence surveillance act. there's been discussion that renewal of a controversial spy program would be added to a spending package in which there is funding to fight the coronavirus pandemic. however, the likes of adam schiff have actually agreed with a number of republicans. any reform in pfizer should come in a standalone bill rather than be cast in the dark of night. our first guest tonight at the meeting today with the preside president, he has his own proposal with which to deal with pfizer. joining us tonight, senator rand paul. the foreign relations and homeland security committee. great to have you with us. the pfizer right now, it seems as if there's a large contingent on capitol hill. they want to renew and maybe reform it later. after this nation and this president have endured more than three
