washington gets a draft, it's type set.hington makes final very minute edits but he's very hands on about the edits and rewritten the entire thing into his own hand which is rewritten by his stepdaughter. claypool comes over with the final proof to say thank you. they decide they're going to publish it -- there's no like weekend edition. they're going to wait. it's an afternoon paper that costs 6 cents. claypool returns the document, and he expresses real reluctance to part with it sort of hemming and hawing. and washington sort of very oddly for him impetuously says fine, you can keep it. and washington keeps his documents meticiously at mt. vernon. he rewrites old letters sometimes. but he gives the original document to claypool who then sits on and refuses to sell it and it's believed to be lost for a long period of time. but that morning washington leaves philadelphia september 19, 1796. he leaves that morning and with martha and a green parrot and that afternoon the paper hits the streets and the news explodes. it's re

founders understood washington in particular, front frontlines -- washington as president is a fascinatingle, conversation he has with attorney general randolph if there's a civil war among to go in with the north. he feels captive to its economy in a way that seems ironic today. he understands it's a problem. not only for the country, but for himself. what's fascinating is dakota did very well addresses last willing testament. that's the point i make in the book. washington's last will and testament a needs to beskc( understood to the quota to his farewell address. eleases his slaves upon his death, and his wife's death. many most of them he inherited from his wife and her first husband. you could easily argue is too little too late. it's worth remembering that first of all he's constantly trying to send a message to the nation, but the direction we need to move, and the side of this debate he's truly on. that nine subsequent presidents own slaves and bought slaves and didn't release them at the end of their life. washington did. it was against the grain. and he was clearly sending a mess

at the same time he feels washington is undermining him, monroe is undermining washington, sending correspondence to washington and going back and forth and is caught. when he is brought back in disgrace under adams' administration, secretary of state pickering who is no fan of monroe's, monroe is nursing a grudge and writes a 400 page book with an extreme hi long title but it begins with, a view of the executive "and it's his version of his relationship with washington and what happened to him in france. so watching this and looking at washington's copy and if you look along the side and the bottom you can see the handwritten transcribe little of -- scribblings of a very angry george washington and i got a kick out of putting them next to each ein book. monroe writes he was invite bid the president accept the office of minister and washington's comments are after several attempts had failed to an continue a more eligible character. another point he said i did no perceive how the declaration of independence supplied at the time of the jay treaty and negotiations and washington's comments are, non

in washington pasta command -- washington's command. we will talk our way through this. i hope you can all see that. a lot of the chief problems that washington had -- i am sure that most of you are familiar with this. undercord in 1777 was pressure. and the was occupied counterattack at germantown was beaten and the real, major disappointment came in november -- they were two toges that controlled access the city. the loss of those forts, the royal navy was able to get through to philadelphia and provision general william how's army. it was a crushing blow to morale. major general horatio gates forced the surrender of an entire british army at saratoga. horatio gates has had a different time -- difficult time with his story. has warned the shadow of his criticisms of washington. he was critical, he lost the battle of camden in south carolina in 1780. from which his military reputation never covered. we cannot write off ratio gates -- horatio gates just like that. he had a combat record in the seven years war. military paper pusher. tha

washington was. i think freeman's main point was coming out of the cabal he told , rather thane man .his ivory figure on a pedestal that answer your question? >> it does. there is one more question if we can squeeze it in. prof. lender: i will be here as long as you want. [laughs] >> what became of the board of war? prof. lender: it became what was supposed to be. it became a support office for the army. it handled military , itespondence to congress kept track of where equipment not with the army was, it made sure that the army had its records maintained more or less in order, that washington did not have to handle this routine record-keeping. states,ndence from the correspondence from really anywhere, private correspondence to the army that did not bear on what washington needed to address immediately. questions in congress as to what do we do about such and such a situation could be referred to the board of war and they would spare whether to washington's time. it was created to be a support offic

a washington aide in high favor with washington. i could have added other individuals to that cause. these were serious men and their arguments were basically on two fronts. you had men like mifflin, wayne, and broadhead. washington was losing, but can't be continued if we're going to win the war. then you had samuel adam that's rejected to trying to fight the british. they wanted to rely on militia. and there was a historical context to keep in mind. the military history of the 136 colonies was in effect british military. as they discussed on the floor of congress while debating what to do congressional critics of washington noted that during the seven years war the british government did not hesitate to replace losing generals. a british commander in chief was relieved of duty and he did not puce military and political results. they went through a succession but it was a rough road. officers did not win. that leaved the question of would congress fire a commander in chief. the answer to that is yes, they did. and we tend to forget

i want to help the city of washington or what became washington be built.i would say, i'll have you use some of my slaves. would i get paid for that and did the slaves get any of that compensation? what did the slave labor get, typically. >> first of all, you have people who use their enslaved population to do the work and those folks rarely got compensated. then what would happen, many times enslaved crafts people and others were hired out, that you would say, i am building a building and i need to have labor. i would like to hire three of your carpenters or three of the people that you work with. usually what would happen is, you would -- the person building the structure would pay the plantation owner. sometimes it was done in a way to incentivize the enslaved, that they would get a small portion of that. but it really was most of the revenue went back to the owner. >> okay, so the government is operating out of philadelphia, as they're building the city of washington -- what became washington, d.c., and george washington is supervising it. he's picking

washington, d.c. during her long residency, she bore witness to many of the significant incidents that occurred and into the first decade of the 20th century. the article in the century magazine made britannia somewhat of a celebrity, three years later, she was invited to attend virginia day at the 1893 world's columbian expo position where the state of virginia had an exact replica of mount vernon. she was a member of the colonial dimes and the d.a.r. the following year, britannia's grandchildren recognized the importance of their grandmother as a source of collective family history, a living link to the ancestry. and for this reason, they began conducting a series of interviews with her prompting her to share recollections of past events as well as her vast knowledge of family history. as she spoke, they began to write, capturing all of the information she provided and the memories exactly as she had recounted them. some of the notes appear on neatly lined notebook paper like these you see her and o

mary washington did not remarry after george washington's father died and george washington was only years old at the time. so, she really gave him a tremendous strength of character. she taught him very many things about how to manage an estate. she was herself known to be very religious. i think it's very clear she read to him books, not only the bible but books on religion. she had to be a very strong woman. i think george washington was probably quite like his mother. she seems to be a no-nonsense figure herself. and now, she's had an interesting reputation throughout american history, because on the one hand in the 19th century mary washington was held up as the great model of womanhood in america because she was the one who raised the greatest citizen. and so in this democracy in the 19th century, if we want to have great citizens, we need to have great mothers like mary washington. in fact the first national monument to a woman in this country was created for mary washington in fredericksburg before the civil war. i think it was in the 1830s. but by the 20th century, interesti

washington was.hink freeman's main point was that, coming out of the cabal, we saw washington the man rather than this ivory figure up on a pedestal. >> it is one more question, if we can squeeze it in. what became of the board of war? >> it became what it was supposed to be. it became a support office for the army. it handed military correspondence to congress. it made sure that the army had its records maintained more or less in order. that washington did not have to handle this routine record keeping. correspondence from the states. correspondence from anywhere really. private correspondents attended for the army. that really did not bear on what washington needed to address immediately. questions in congress as to what we do about such and such situation could be referred to the court of war. so it was created to be support office. it was shifted from that under mifflin and gates, and it went back to the task to what it had originally been established. it served through the end of the war. on int

washington in general. he writes an extraordinary letter to her january i think it's 9th, 1790, where after the first session of congress actually, the new session is coming back. he writes a letter to her in which he says i walk on untrodden ground. everything i do is subject to two interpretations. everything i do is creating a precedent. so he understands very clearly that his role in that office is going to set in train the next generation of how the presidency will function. so he's worried about the news cycle on the one hand, like all politicians must, but he also really has his eyes on the long term, a long-term vision, you know, 30 years what will this office of the presidency be like. so he's very aware how important it is that he sets these precedents and works through them. a lot of the things that we come to take for granted about the presidency he really had to create. so i'll just give you one quick example, which is the cabinet itself. so the constitution says that from time to time the chie

washington ally.e had too much to drink in the evening with several of lord sterling's asds, aides, including james monroe, the future president, then a junior officer. and this is what he leaked to these general officers. promptly was reported to the commander. washington, of course, he knew that he was being criticized. but now he could put names on who might be involved and zeroed in on gates and already had contempt on conway because of conway's insistence of being promoted. now the more important letter, howeverr, did not become public. this was thomas mifflin also ready. you can read it and the long and short of it is that as mifflin was concerned the cause was essentially lost lest gates game south, took command of the main army, and retrieved the military situation. in the course of my research on the cabal book i found any number of these letters. this was the general sentiment at the time. mifflin's was the first to call for a change in command. but i have to ask was there really a plot? wel

important point to make there let's bring in in his poll in washington our washington bureau chief. bring us up to date with what's going on at the capitol hill right now. well police is obviously using flash bang to really bring. to make people go home it's getting dark here the curfew is just half an hour away we see that the masses have gun from in front of. the capitol so the big question will be what will happen when it's getting really dog and the curfew is taking place in less than 30 minutes i mean this country is shaken as make said shore people always were kind of worried what would donald trump do with in his last let's say 14 days some people were afraid that he would start a war or a military conflict abroad sure there were stories about militias and about the proud boys who might spread wireless but i think hardly anybody ever really thought that people would be able to storm the capital of the united states to enter the capital of the united states to sure this is in the capital of the united states so this united states is is shocked people are in all. and now obviou

, and i think in washington in particular, the big argument was that washington didn't appreciate what he had done. monroe was nearly killed in delaware, taken out of action, not given the commission and i think all of those things made him feel as though washington was turning his back on so that did that to monroe and washington. one of the things i admired about him is that no matter how tough can be an aura of competent. not in the beginning. it's interesting, at the beginning, they were worried about his indecisiveness but as the war went on and people came to understand and better, it was that rockhard confidence or ability to appear confident that was very important. >> projecting confidence, just more broadly, all four of them had a very distinct -- i don't know the right word but their public appearance. washington obviously having to lead men and in a difficult situation but even madison, one of our viewers say madison participated college debates was at princeton prepared them in ways for public life and they put themselves in public. in this age where i personally politicia

the thing i loved about this washington isn't there it's george washington who sees this. a good night of sleep while the three of them can talk politics. it's almost a habit virginia politicians on their way back maybe courtesy call to george washington but as munro's influence intensified to the point it isn't just jefferson's idea but munro they start to drift away. nothing tears you apart more than the years as washington's minister. it's not so much stockholm syndrome from being there for so long but he really doesn't like great britain. he doesn't do him any favors and that he doesn't have john j communicating about the treaty but nobody tells munro anything. finally, he gives an assignment to the famous painter of the works in the capital to memorize the treaty and then go to munro and say i will recite it for you but i won't give you a copy. he says well then i don't want to hear it and he passes it along to a new england fellow that he trusts and he can't wait. i mean, this is his countrymen time and he recites the whole thing to this fellow so that munro can find

there are statues of washington here, paintings of washington there, washington is the single most representedn in the art collection in the capitol. the city is named for him. he is so connected to it. >> after choosing the site for the capitol in 1791, then laying the cornerstone in 1793, it was washington's desire that the building be completely done and ready for congress to occupy in 1800. >> washington's vision for the building was something large, magnificent, and would command respect. would make americans of every state love their country better, and he hoped that it would be first in the affections of all americans. that is his legacy. >> while washington's aspirations for the building and the city have been more than realized over the course of the centuries, his hopes for what he called a congress house and the banks of the potomac being finished by 1800 would go unfold build -- unfulfilled due to construction and weather delays. the capitol today does not resemble its early years of occupancy from 1800 until the house wing was completed just to the south in 1807. it would then be

he was planning to march across and trap washington in manhattan.ver once again with 700 men held off 4000 british and hessian troops. he took about 22 casualties. the british took between 700 and 800 casualties. that gave washington time to escape from manhattan and to fight another day. then we fast-forward to this section of pennsylvania around the 22nd of december. glover marches into this area and he camps up the hill near where washington's headquarters were. and washington calls him to his headquarters and tells him what he wants to do -- cross 800 feet of a rocky, ice strewn river under the cover of darkness. and, by the way, the barometer is falling and we could be looking at some weather, and glover mutters to washington and says, your excellency, it is impossible. washington says to glover, colonel glover, i did not ask you to assess possibilities, i asked you if you could do it. colonel glover thinks for a second and says, general washington, my marbleheaders can do it. that is when legend tells us -- the legend is not written anywhere,

and washington sends their son to his namesake to george washington. with that kind of bravery is wonderful to read about monroe 's words as he writes in this autobiography be about how she did this. she is a remarkable lady. very talented and very quiet. she's almost the jacqueline kennedy of the founding first ladies. she's a bit regal she is miss represented as aloof. it's the case that she hasn't old-fashioned politeness and she saw to that. >> we can talk for just a minute about the contrast about the and how they entertain. dolley madison for example was a very powerful figure in d.c. politics. and then followed by james and elizabeth. how did their time in france shape the ways in which they create a small republican court in the washington and that. >> i think the monroe's were both very influenced in france. not just by thinking and culture but also by furniture. they bought furniture that they actually took to the white house after it was reopened. some of that is still there today. some of those people were re- furnished and put on display.

washington, d.c. the national archives hosted this event and provided the video. david: grant quertermous is the curator and collector of the preservation. as the former curator, he spent five years researching the family and used the collection to interpret their two centuries of ownership of historical landmark property in georgetown and their familial ties to george and martha washington. prior to his arrival at tudor place in 2015, he was the curator of collections at james madison's montpelier where he worked for nearly nine years on the mansion 's interior initiatives. now let's hear from grant quertermous, thank you for joining us today. grant: thank you. it's a pleasure to be here this afternoon and i'm going to focus on how britannia's reminiscences were created. let me get my power-point going here. when subscribers to the century illustrated monthly magazine received their current issue in may of 1890, they would have been presented with a variety of reading options. a new poem by walt whit

we have debates happening during the washington administration. marshall supports washington and supportsistration and john jay, and through this becomes a member of congress and member of the adams administration. because of these moves by the washington administration france , becomes inflamed with the united states. france had supported us during the revolution. we had war debts we owed france that we no longer wanted to pay after we got rid of the french king and the french revolution. and so adams dealing with from france, stealing our goods and stealing goods destined for britain, he sends john marshall and two other envoys to france to come together with a treaty that creates friendly relations between france and the united states. this is what becomes known as the xyz affair. john marshall is sent with eldridge gary and charles cups worth. the three of them are attempting to negotiate with the french government. they are trying to establish relationships with him. x,has his own envoys who are in these dispatches and he says you must bribe

there in washington d.c. carolyn an extraordinary day on capitol hill a violent mall interrupting a joint session of congress one person shot and killed what more can you tell us. it's difficult to see it to think that we're talking about the united states terry well the investigation of that woman that died and and several other people i'm part of a service that were injured are still ongoing and kaos is probably the right word to describe what happened yesterday here in washington d.c. and especially in front of the capitol where all this assault on democracy happened and experts and police including my diary of a year mitch mcconnell have been talking about an insurrection that happened here in washington d.c. saying that. what happened yesterday was was was really has no wars and is really a president in the history of this country and we can definitely say that the pictures we saw are going to mark that they generally 6th the day when democracy in the united states almost broke completely apart the day o

this debate goes back to the founding washington , back to the washington administration. what marshall does is he views it broadly. he says the commerce power even covers things like navigation on the waterways and the operation of steamboats. so, therefore magnifies the power of congress over the economy, over and against the states are doing. it is an important assertion of national power. even more important is the mcculloch versus maryland is , which in many ways is marshall's masterpiece. marbury versus madison is the most famous decision where , marshall asserts judicial review and the power to declare laws unconstitutional. it is the one most people begin their casebooks with. it are mostans -- is the one that americans familiar with. mcculloch v madison, he lays out the theory of our constitution. that has endured in many ways since the marshall court is 1819. wrestling with the most important question of the early republic the constitutionality , of the national bank. decades earlier in the washington administration, we have jefferson fighting with hamilton over

and also, washington had -- washington, d.c. had howard university.nd howard university is so important that people undervalue its impact, because it really made washington a center of black thinking, education, creativity, and that was also part of the appeal of coming to washington, d.c.. >> one of the interesting things about washington, d.c. is that in the constitution, there was no provision for it to have any electoral votes, and therefore people who lived in the district, large numbers of them were african-american, didn't have any right to vote for president or at least members of congress, i should say, so why was that the case? and why did people not say that people that lived in the district should have some voting representation in congress? >> okay, now you're asking me to do my politics. you know, i think that in some ways, there is this debate about what a federal sector is. you know, are you a citizen there, what are your rights? i think that the challenge of washington is that it really is a place where you can call it the sort of las

many, many checkpoints set up across washington, d.c. he drove up to this checkpoint and he displayed what appeared to be a fake inauguration pass, some kind of inaugural credential that the officials, the police there, realized were fake. they then also saw some indications that perhaps he had some weapons in the vehicle. they questioned this man. his name is wesley allen beeler from virginia. he said he had weapons in the car. so they found a 9 millimeter glock. most concerning, they found over 500 rounds of ammunition. some of it belonging to that weapon. others having to do with a rifle or something like that. obviously what's very concerning for authorities here, wolf, is that he had this fake inaugural credential, and that is something that, of course, investigators are still trying to determine what was going on here. but we just have this basic information that he had this fake inaugural credential and he had a weapon on him. police arrested him. we don't know what he was doing in the area. we don't know why he came here. the fac

george washington was afraid this was going to spark a war with britain, and george washington thereforesent john jay to britain to negotiate. john jay ended up negotiating jay's treaty, as it became called, in 1795 with britain. and the measures within the treaty were that britain would finally leave those posts in the west that britain was supposed to have left according to the terms of the treaty of paris, but had not yet because of outstanding debts. in jay's treaty they also agreed that american merchants could submit claims to britain for illegally seized goods. so, if goods had been seized by the british they could try to make their case in had britain. jay's treaty required the u.s. government to pay american citizens pre-war debts to british merchants. so, that's the exchange for getting the british troops to leave the west. and the treaty acknowledged the british right to seize french property if it was on an american ship. so, still to stop an american ship but only to take french property off of it. thomas jefferson was furious. he said, this treaty is far too cozy with the b

washington, d.c.here the countdown is on for joe biden's inauguration and the end of a tumultuous donald trump presidency. the outgoing president will not participate in wednesday's ceremony at a departure from usualrotocol. donald trump has not been seen in public for a week, but is expected to depart from washington to mar-a-lago ahead of the inauguration. washington, d.c. has been transformed into a fortress with 25,000 national guard on the streets, perimeter fences erected. we are hearing reports of 12 national guards being suspended after being vetted by the fbi, all of this for a largely virtual swearing-in ceremony with the public not allowed into the national mall. it's get the latest from kedah been gorgeous donnie at the white house. we are hearing the latest information that donald trump has released a prerecorded video. give us a sense of what he is saying in that. report: yes, that announcement came from the white house saying it would be released at 4:00 p.m., this video that the presid

i— washington? i think it was really powerful words. i think - washington?here - washington? i think it was really powerful words. i think there is i washington? i think it was really| powerful words. i think there is a strong sense of relief. that actually felt like an incredibly turbulent transition of power, the scenes on the capital, absolutely unprecedented. all of that was sort of managed through. and in the end there was a peaceful transfer of power. and i think he made that point really well. and in that i think gave us a sense of hope, a sense of resolve and resilience. which i think will resonate with lots of people whether they voted for him or not. and that there was something really poignant seeing lots of former presidents all their at his inauguration. 0bviously, trump very much not there. the fact that there were others they are, the fact that former vice president mike pence was there. i think gave that sense that actually the business of democracy has continued and withheld in a difficult period of time. yes don'tjump _ in a difficult perio

a curfew comes into effect in washington d.c. . unclear at this stage as to how many supporters are still out on the streets but come 6 pm local time they will be arrested if they violate that curfew the streets around capitol hill looking empty now many of the people have left from what it looks like and. the police operation to bring about calm seems to have worked so far from the pictures that we're seeing right now anyway president himself spoke to his supporters via video message on twitter saying that he understood them but calling on them as well to go home president elect joe biden who was supposed to be giving a speech on the economy earlier well had to change his plans of course send and. called on president supporters to end the standoff to end their. calling what is happening today in washington an insurrection so right now this is a scene it's looking much calmer than it did a few hours ago but certainly an unprecedented day in american history when supporters of us present donald trump storm capitol building. i'm full

washington has savaged us for four years. no state in the nation pays more to washington and receives less in return. as the late senator daniel patrick moynihan pointed out, this is been true for decades and it has never been remedied. in fact it has gotten worse. over the past four years, a washington took even more funding from new yorkers as a sheer exercise of political extortion. today, new york subsidizes 42 other states. on top of that, of the new federal provision has cost new york $30 billion more over three years. it increases property taxes on hard-working new yorkers $2600 per year. look at the gross injustice. washington raised our taxes to benefit other states and those states then appealed to our residents to relocate to their lower tax states. the infuriating ironing is the -- irony is that new york subsidizes those states -- states' lower rates. but washington did not stop there. the abuse was unrelenting. our medicaid reimbursement rate was the lowest in the united states. they starved our infrastructure fu

protest in washington, even vocal protest in washington, even vocal protest in washington, not unusualashington, not unusual, but presu ma bly protesters washington, not unusual, but presumably protesters are not normally allowed to get this far towards the building. know, particularly during the coronavirus, when much of the capitol complex has been under limited access in order to try and prevent the spread of the pandemic. this is unusual... it is not something we have seen in washington, dc since the 1960s there is one office building that has been evacuated. i'm hearing reports that the entire capitol complex is on lockdown. you will know that all of these office buildings where members of congress, these are connected to the main capitol building by underground tunnels. so despite the process going outside, members of congress will be able to come and go from their offices, stay on the floor of their senate... vote on the certification proceedings, as long as nobody enters the building themselves. lets ringing barbara plett usher, you are close to where this is happening, barbara

washington can barely write. but washington like a lot of bright people who did not have a formal education i think was very good at learning through experience. through observation and reflection. and i think really by the revolution becomes a genuine critical thinker. so early on he's trying to imitate cato, the stoic politician with the qualities ofprudence, frugality, wisdom , caution. that's partly because he does have this fall: temper and he knows he needs to learn how to contain it. so i think cato becomes his model but then he has a second model foisted on him which is that of the roman general status who defeats hannibal through maneuver, through not giving battle. this is not a natural thing for washington as a general to do. he begins the war as a fairly conventional thinker, pretty much like his opponents. that's through force of circumstance. he adopts an approach to war and tries to keep his army together but he tries to avoid major battles except when he has to give battle for a political reason o

well the same self islands witnessed in washington d.c. smack of much that's been seeing throughout 2020 despite the pandemic the ables month by large aggressive price hesse that hawkins takes in the back. 2020 has been the most surreal relentless and chaotic year in modern memory but despite social distancing law the town's masks and curfews and global discontent still spilled out onto the streets that's right not even the strictest rules of stop protests which are actually growing in numbers compared to last year so which ones will go down in the history books what did they achieve and what's next. george freud suffocated after minneapolis police officers knee was placed on his neck for 9 minutes months of us protests ensued racial tensions and riots in america nothing new but this movement is different previously limited in scale and geography these involved millions of people of all creeds and ethnicities in all corners of the united states not to mention dozens of other countries around the world. that. i believe. aside from some symb
