washington said no. that will raise people's fears and anxiety to an unbelievably unhealthy level besides, the constitution gives the president the power to issue a proclamation like this independently. in paris tragedy gathered momentum. the committee of public safety was formed under the leadership of a fanatic named maximilian who proclaimed a republic consists of the extermination of everything and anyone who opposes it. massacre became the order of the day. secretary of state jefferson remained oblivious to this collapse of the french government. he found it more difficult to ignore letters from his former secretary had remained in paris when jefferson returned to america. soon exploding into a rebuke the tone of your letter has for some time given me pain on account of the extreme world which you have sent to the proceedings. why didn't understand that jefferson considered them the same as the republican patriots of america. the struggle to expunge jefferson continued innocent as well as healthy pe

so george washington is mr. president. martha washington is lady washington. james madison is mr.nt. dolley is queen dolley. and so, the men have to tread this very strict line, but the women get to express the aristocratic longings. and that's one of the messages she's sending out. and it's only when we look at the women of that time do we understand that a lot of that beginning of the american nationhood is predicated on royalty. >> who called her the presidentress? i think that was samuel latham mitchill, but he was not alone. a lot of people called her presidentress or presidentess and queen of hearts. and who called her queen dolley? a lot of people. a lot of people. a lot of people did that as well, but there were many, many just strictly. >> swain: affectionately. or critically? or both. >> affectionately. "she dressed a queen" was what you see in a lot of the reports or in a lot of the letters. she looked every inched a queen. sometimes they she looked like a bride and a queen. so her elegance of dress, she bought a lot of her materials in paris. so she's very elegantly dr

washington burocrats believe -- washington bureaucrats believe they know better than us and can tell us how to live our lives. trying to dictate to every child in every school what they must learn. a young mother seeking to start a small business is inundated with paperwork and regulations and gives up. a small manufacturer seeking to build the next plant and create american jobs is faced with excessive taxation and forced to build that factory overseas. too many americans feel the path of opportunity is closed to them. we must make sure it is not. the problems we face are real but i have never been one to dwell on problems. i am a solutions guy. when you grow up on a farm and you have a problem, you do not ask the government to solve it. you just figure out what needs to be done and go do it. that is the american way. if i had the honor to lead this country, let me tell you some of the things i would do right away to get oppressive government off the backs of americans. today, there is one former member of congress lobbying for every member and the first thing i would do is say, if

i saw in washington d.c. the national portrait gallery at the time his handwritten notes on the nose sorensen had given to him. you probably know the quote that he had lived -- i lived at the white house banquet. with the possible exception of when thomas jefferson dined alone. there was a 10 page spread in life magazine about the noble laureate white house dinner just as there is a 10 page spread in life magazine in mid-april 1943, when they designated the jefferson memorial. so jefferson's words express the universal desire for individual freedom. that is why he stays with us. when we say jeffersonian democracy, we tend to mean something on the order of human rights. barack obama when he first took office in 2009 was asked at an earlier press conference how he envisioned the future of iraq and the words out of his mouth where we don't expect a jeffersonian democracy because it's a different culture. but we expect something that we might call a jeffersonian democracy in this country. that is what i'm trying

perhaps through this time washington, his image washington's image was synonymous with the president, but at this point something very interesting begins to happen. lincoln is being raised in the image we have in front of us to the same status as washington. george washington is the mural in the dome of the u.s. capitol which was being finished during the civil war. >> and in that image, it shows washington coming into heaven, so this image right here is essentially the sequel to it. this shows washington receiving lincoln into heaven. >> you can see angels up above them up to the left, welcoming the two men. >> so, our hope with this site is that it really helps people to connect with, you know, with how ordinary people like them, like us experience an event of this magnitude. >> and the beauty of the internet is that we don't have to do it only in an exhibit here at ford's theater. we can make it available to everyone, and rs, in fact, having it available to everyone, we have a bigger collection and much bigger exhibit than we ever would be able do have if we just put product togeth
