you get some poetry, washington's face, but also a statement from the mayor of washington, d.c. attesting to the character of the man in question and where the wood came from. in the certificate, he says it is from the same hill where george washington is buried. that is particularly interesting because this was a place that was considered sacred to many americans, but when i actually went through his farm books and tried to plot out where he was taking this wood from, it was not always from the hill. i think john augustine washington was good at sales. this is what people wanted to hear. in fact, some of the wood came from right along the shoreline. this was a place that george washington had efficiently -- affectionately called hellhole because he could not get anything to grow there. that is technically part of the hill, so we will let that one slide. m,w, with the mount vernon ge this one dated november, 1856, was alsota washington selling things at mount vernon. -- and he wasing also collecting any type of revenue when people came in. for a time being, there was a daguerreo

washington is just lost. washington's just allowed the capital to fall. maybe washington isn't right to lead the army, some say. and this is going to be during this period of victory in the north and defeat in around philadelphia. it's going to lead to an attempt to unseat washington. but before we come to this, the winter encampment in valley forge is crucial. one of the reasons it's crucial is, armies of the 18th century don't frighten in wintertime. we have campaigning seasons. we fight in the spring, the fall, the summer, but not in the winter. so it's during the winter that the army is able to actually train itself. they've had a hard fight since this war began. and who helps train the army, washington also has been performing plays in the off time. why not, got to do something extracurricular, the barren von steven. he's responsible for the drill masters concept. the problem is, he doesn't speak any english. and most americans don't speak any german. so how he'd do it, he would create one model unit and he would basically yell at them and berate the

washington, d.c., and at one point, she was supposed to speak in congress, but because she would not agree not to talk about slavery, if that's clear, they wouldn't let her speak. and so, instead she spoke in a unitarian church and all sorts of politicians, including southern congressman, attended. of course, she spoke about slavery because that was always what she was compelled to speak about. but during that particular trip to washington, d.c. in 1843, she also met president tyler. his line about lucretia mott wise, i think i will turn mr. cal who know over to you. you can negotiate with john c cal hound for me. that is the level of ferocity and in transit jeans on the issue of slavery. lucretia mott first met elizabeth katie stanton in 1840. elizabeth katie stanton was younger than her. she was 22 years younger than her. and when they met, they met in a sort of unlikely place, which was at the world anti slavery convention in london, england in 1840. you have to americans meeting in london. and the

franklin looks at the chair washington sits in looks behind washington's head, this carving of a half's on the back of the chair and says all summer i've been trying to decide whether that half son is supposed to be rising or setting and i could not make up my mind and till now. now, at length, i have the happiness to know that is a rising and not a setting sun. and he felt good. he had been working on this since the 1750's, this unity of the american states and he finally sees it happening. one of the great stories that comes afterwards as he is supposedly asked what kind of government they have created in philadelphia and he says it's a republic, if you can keep it. his warning to the rest of us. think about the united states -- i like to finish with this idea we are still using that same constitution. we are still using that same government, but it has also allowed us maybe not quickly but it has allowed us to improve because ultimately, slavery does not really and by the civil war. technically it is the 13th amendment. 15th amendment will give equality in voting by color. the 19th a

here in washington state -- and this is one area where oregon and washington differ. i'm sure my colleague from oregon will talk about it in a moment. washington is a postmark state. as long as we receive a ballot with a postmark on or before election day within the day following election day, that ballot can be counted and is counted as long as it meets all of the other eligibility requirements. and let me stop here for a minute and just talk a little bit about what we do to inspire that confidence. certainly the president and the attorney general -- the u.s. attorney general have made some pretty disparaging remarks about the security and the safety of vote by mail and i've been running vote-by-mail elections for almost 20 years now. i can tell you the security controls that we have in place like checking and verifying every signature of every return ballot against the signature on the voter registration record is our linchpin for security. we make sure the signature matches and we don't want to disenfranchise a valid vote. we contact a voter if their signature does

george washington had a cabinet member, thomas jefferson. who have the highest rank of the cabinet to secretary of state. he actually helped create an opposition paper in the capital. philadelphia at the time. and not only encouraged its creation specifically the policies of george washington. but it gave its editor a job in the state department is a translator in order to help him make his way in a new city. so that in a way, stretch the example of the presidents be wary of and sometimes an open hostility against the press. we managed the inaugural journey of lincoln. within six months of that inaugural journey, and around lincoln's administration was encouraging the shut down and approved democratic party and keep republican specifically in type volunteerism . full during the military. newspapers. he was imprisoning editors. his closing down newspaper offices. so the antipathy, on occasion in american history and as i out in my book. and as ted said, not as bad as it was then. today, the crackdowns on the complaints are nowhere near that u
