and washington lived with them or they lived with washington. there was a family relationship there. so, but, yeah, washington-- hamilton and lafayette were close. according to all accounts they were like brothers. as you mentioned, they were very close in age. hamilton was a few months older than lafayette. lafayette comes to america, he's french. he knows english, but his french is better than his english. but many of the washington -- and many aides did not know french. here is hamilton fluent in french. so they became very good friends much more so than probably any other aide. host: i think we had right behind -- thank you. >> congratulations on the book. i just finished reading it. in addition to the most remarkable, most heroic founding father with more character -- his moral character, has overcome the obstacles and incredible ability. so my question is, actually, you cover the revolutionary war in great detail. one of my favorite scenes -- when he talks about is a flashback scene when hamilton had written a report on manufacturers and h

washington, d.c. has decided they are the fountain of all wisdom. washington, d.c. has decided that all decisions need to be made their. -- you know what my act reaction to washington dc is? i am going to do something to change it. [applause] mr. perry: that is what this -- peoples reflecting having a belly full of the decisions being made 1500 miles away from where they need to be made. eisenhower said, it is easy to farm when your clout is a pencil 1500 miles away from the farm. that is what we are facing today. as we see this continual consolidation of power in washington dc, a place that has become corrupt, a place that we do not trust, a place i would suggest that is making america less of a place and it could be ve to had decisions devol the states. i am a big believer in the constitution of the united states of america. i swore allegiance to the constitution of the united states when i wore the uniform in the united states air force from 1972 to 1977. 17 tailgunner that flew 34 missions over na

not far from washington, d.c. it has a lot of the slogans that we associate with the revolutionary movement. most recognizable "liberty or death." these words reportedly spoken by virginian patrick henry at the beginning of the war. i'll take this carefully out of the mount. you can see "kill or be killed" which is a fairly sobering almost contemporary sounding slogan. and appeal to heaven which was something that appeared on new england flags at the same and was also a very popular slogan at the beginning of the war. the date 1775 and curiously this crown -- so if you'll remember on that havana powder horn also a crown in that case with gr 3. sometimes people who see this horn are a little confused and say, well, wait a minute, this guy was a virginian fighting in the continental army, why would he have a crown on his powder horn? but, of course, in 1775, these men are still fighting to restore their rights as englishmen within the empire. so it's perfectly consistent with that to appeal to the king, to see the k

and that will be george washington. the big hero of the day, of course, equal now to franklin as far as american fame goes, and so washington will take the lead in the constitutional convention. and the very chair in the back of the room behind me is the chair in which washington sat which, interestingly, is the only item in this room that we today have in this room that we know for certain was here as a part of those events. that chair was made in 1779 after the british left philadelphia. a lot of things were gone between the americans coming and going, british coming and going. we just don't have all the contents of the building anymore. pennsylvania's government has to make new furniture, including that chair for the speaker of pennsylvania. so that was in the room on that spot when washington took that position in 1787. so the virginia plan, three branches of government, somewhat familiar to us today, here's some of the issues that are going to face that plan as far as when you start debating. other plans are going

through the eight years of the war, that martha washington joined general washingt washington. in many ways one of the rarest objects in the collection that i'll share with you now. this is a volume that was owned by martha washington. it is a -- you can see her signature "m. washington." and it's an early edition printed in england. it was known as a help and guide to christian families published in london in 1752. so quite likely a book she may well, you can imagine, have taken along with her to camp to spend the winter at valley forge. the top of the page is missing, almost certainly it was clipped by an autograph collector in the 19th century, presumably her name would have been written out there as well and it was probably clipped by a collector. and if any viewers have that in your collection, we would love to reunite the book and the autograph. but there is her signature, martha washington. so it's entirely possible to imagine that that's a book that spent the winter at valley forge along with the general and his suffering soldiers. a few other objects, again, an object

that was what was going on in washington. constitution.he while the constitution was being debated, the free-stators were busy writing his second institution, the leavenworth constitution, and it is unique in that the leavenworth constitution, written in 1858, does not contain the word "white." out of the three free state leavenworth ishe the most progressive, most radical constitution in that it gave african-americans voting rights. fourth and final constitution, the wyandotte constitution, is signed by president james buchanan, literally on his way out of office. januarynters the union 20 9, 1861, as a free state. what we are looking at is a letter composed by the famous militant abolitionist in the kansas territory, john brown sr., and it is known as john brown parallels. it was published in january of 1859, and this letter was written with the intent for it to be published in a newspaper. it was basically john brown's paralleling two incidents in bleeding kansas and justifying his actions in missouri. two plantations were

the general describes washington's arrival. "the french rendered him all honors," the highest military tribute in france. open -- american women also feature prominently in the narratives. "his wife appeared to be highly educated." it's these personal observations of his that are really quite striking because of how technical he was. dol -- dillon describes his encounters with women in taverns using the word -- using an old french word that i think means to aggressively flirt. "i have been told of this. i made my propositions. they were at first neither rejected or accepted. i put more effort into my requests and finally got the yes." dillon he seems -- seems to have tried this several times. "i promise to try this as often as i have occasion to." the general was not immune to the appearance of american women. he wrote "we found at breakneck hill in connecticut a young country girl possessing a perfect resemblance to the queen. the agrarian lifestyle fascinated -- clean." the agrarian -- queen." the agrarian lifestyle fascinate

and washington, as i said, realized the conflict. he writes in 1776 there is no who wants more than i to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery. while he says that he doesn't real do too much to bring it about. i think that yes, presentism is a real thing, but i think you can judge washington by his only standards of what he thought was moral. same thing with jefferson. they knew it was a contradiction to their ideals and an a front to talk about liberty, equality and justice and keep these people in changes. they believed slavery would end in america and on that they were of course tragically wrong. >> host: i just we would like to take questions if possible. anyone want to step up here and throw something at mr. davis. >> guest: not literally. >> was this a violation of the principles in the magna carta? >> guest: a greater scholar than the magna carter would have to answer than i. it is established in the bill of rights. the third amendment is the quartering act but i am not sure if it goes become to the magna carta. i th
