. >> the other riders are ralph waldo emerson, washington irving, a german writer, thomas betting timauley, a british writer. an american novelist, nathaniel hawthorne, who publish the scarlet letter in 1950. and sir walter scott, the scottish writer whose works included ivan hel, robin -- rob roy, and the lady of the lake. -- ivan hel, rob roy, and the lady of the lake. >> standing in front of the building in the evening, you can see the bus back late from the great hall -- busts backlit from the great hall. as a well as the washington monument serving as the backdrop. >> congress has always needed information. when they were in philadelphia and new york, there were libraries. they had a wonderful collection. when they got to washington, d.c., there were battlefields. there were no libraries. what they had to do was create a library. the actual creation came in a bill signed by president john adams. he found a place in the northwest corner of the capitol building. >> they build the rotunda, they built the library of congress along the west front of the capital between dissent and the

and even ralph waldo emerson, the great writer himself, says this president of ours just seems to be introspect in this country to the point of disaster. to me, lincoln in writing this document, which has not gotten as much attention as what we think of as the great lincoln documents, he was fighting the war intellectually with himself. he was deciding as he was articulating what it was that was wrong about secession, how was that secession was an existential threat to the united states, and how this threat needed to be countered. as you said, the whole legacy of the american revolution was contested at this moment. i love discovering the moments when, in virginia at this fort i was speaking about confederate territory, the union troops wakeup on july 4, and they plan to celebrate the holiday by firing off a bunch of artillery salutes and getting wildly drunk, of course, the great american tradition. and then they start firing off their artillery salutes, and very quickly they start hearing from the other side of the james river, confederate artillery firing, and they say holy hell,

i am the cockeyed optimist who happens to believe in human goodness maybe i read it too much ralph waldo emerson are something but i was raised as a christian scientist. [laughter] and maybe that is it. i like to see the good in people and to me that is another appealing thing. there are very few characters like simon who is a perverse character there are some better definitely bad guys but what i love about the novel you could read it to feel uplifted like i don't like four movies or bloody movies i like the uplifting movies i like uncle tom cabin because it is uplifting will ultimately like rosa parks and martin luther king does wind. they do win in the end so i guess i stand on the side of the blind side at optimists standing on the side of hope and goodness and being victorious what can i say? there isn't too much by the time she wrote dread she was more bitter had difficulty with that moral goodness and i love to dread and it is a great novel and it is wonderful but the does inspire me with a sense of both the way uncle tom cabin does. thank you for bringing that up. >> i don't know
