washington replies with disdain. curious and laughable, that you remain under his circumstances, talking seriously in the style, when his recall as was the second -- . the two men never spoke again, following this rupture in their relationship. perhaps each desired a conciliation. washington was annoyed, when monroe visited alexandria had 1798, and did not pay a call on him in mount vernon, as lafayette had done years before. when washington died the following year, the first president was venerated throughout the country. monroe by now governor virginia, the cause of washington's asperity in the little days, he instructed as members to join him in wearing morning ribbons. during three successive one year terms, overseeing construction of the state's first penitentiary. in august of 1800, he took a sort of action to suppress the operating uprising of enslaved people, led by gabriel -- . monroe was elected once more to the office, and signed a legislation to build a governor's mansion still in use today. but he never

they asked george washington to put down this mutiny. washington tells the mutineers go home. just go home. he pardons people and that for a second time. he brilliantly handles a near mutiny by this time washington realizes this new experiment in popular government is going to be very difficult to run next slide. washington starts to put together a vision a dream if you will for what kind of nation we need to have so the war ends at fall of 1783 and pretty much the question is now what what happens next we had a political and economic and a civil vacuum the loyalists the royalists those who were proted loyal to the crown they left and that meant the physician the bankers the architects all left this new young republic has little on the way of schools and colleges and museums and libraries few trained professionals. the country is war-torn veterans have not been paid. the currency is worthless. so everybody on everyone's mind is the question now one and few at an answer except washing next slide so washington puts together what's known as a circular letter to the states. this i

on december 13, 1799, george washington was dying. a throat infection that had set in after a long ride around mount vernon the previous day in sleet and snow made conversation with his secretary, tobias lear, increasingly difficult. lear noted in his journal that washington's mood, despite the hoarseness, was very cheerful as they sat in the parlor reading newspapers alloud. but washington's demeanor changed when the subject turned to virginia politics. he requested -- "he requested me to read him the debates of the virginia assembly on the election of a senator and a governor. and hearing mr. madison's observations, respecting mr. munro, he appeared much affected and spoke with some degree of asperity on the subject." what prompted washington's asperity regarding james monroe? shown here standing behind the general in emanuel leutze's glorious but profoundly inaccurate painting, "washington crossing the delaware." how did these two virginians who hailed from the same region and whose families were acquainted over generations go from

the british moved on to washington, d.c. where they burned many public buildings, including the white house. in the aftermath of this disaster, armstrong resigned as secretary of war, and monroe assumed the office while remaining secretary of state. although the british departed washington, another attack on the capital spurred other actions which monroe directed. it result in the treaty of ghim. elizabeth undertook the restoration and refurnishing of the white house, a project that would continue throughout his two terms in office. it really cannot be overstated how significant the role of the monroes was in defining what we come to understand today of white house style. they were literally starting with a blank canvas, had to use, in fact, most of their own furniture originally as things they furnished abroad became part of the white house furnishings. in later efforts of redecorating and trying to recapture some of the styles that were lost, up to and including jacqueline kennedy's work, that was what many of those subjec

washington channel is a narrow waterway the between the shoreline of washington dc. and what is today east potomac park? sediment and silk builds up and to keep it navigable they developed this tidal basin so that twice a day 250 million gallons of water is released from the tidal basin down through the washington channel. flushes the sediment away. there are two bridges that give access to the tidal basin. there is the inlet bridge where the water comes in and there is the outlet bridge where the water goes out. each of those bridges has gates on the underside of them. title action closes the inlet gates in the morning when the tidal basin is full at the same time the title action opens the outlet gate and lets the water go out and as the tides change each day a day day in and day out the title action opens and closes the gates to let the water in and let the water out. the cherry trees were the inspiration of washington writer by the name of eliza skidmore. she had visited. pan in 1884 and seen the cherry trees there had seen what a what a wonderful scene they crea

what precedent did washington set? washington said so many precedents as president. he established the title of president. he established how to nominate supreme court justices, but in terms of the cabinet, that's one of the most important precedents because we obviously still have a cabinet today washington established that each president would have the opportunity to decide who his advisors were going to be now, of course, the department secretaries were always going to exist because those were in the constitution, but how close they were how closely they were going to work with the president or if they were going to be really intimate advisors or if he was going to if the president was going to work with someone else outside of the administration washington really established that legacy and we see that legacy today because president determines if he's going to work really closely with the vice president as the past president has done or with department secretaries or with the national security advisor. these are all things that trace back to washington. what does

washington did not cross standing up. the stars and stripes have not been adopted by the continental congress and james monroe was not holding a flag, not in the boat, not even present with the army. he was already across the river. and he was busy. washington's plan was a risky attempt to reverse the sagging fortunes of the patriot cause. during the summer of 1776 british forces including hechen mess naers had driven the continental army from new york into new jersey and bucks county, pennsylvania. enlistment and desertion had thinned the american ranks and many of those who remained were despondent. washington gambled at a successful attack against an isolated british outpost would boost the army's morale and stiffen the resolve of congress and the people. three hechen regiments comprised of 1400 men were stationed at trenton. washington planned to bring 2,400 continental soldiers across the river overnight at maconke's ferry and attack at dawn. two other elements of the army were part of the plan, but they did not make

it was also near george washington's home, which proved an opportunity to honor general washington andresident washington, by placing the capital nearby. but perhaps most attractively, there were few people living here other than the well-established towns of georgetown and alexandria, the landscape was pretty much largely a blank canvas on which a vision for america's past, present, and future could be expressed through the very design of its capital city. well, as many of you know, president washington hired pierre l'enfant in 1791 to plan the city's layout. l'enfant was originally from france, and had served the patriot cause in the revolutionary war. so it is not your coincidence that the streets in washington share a similarity with the broad avenues in paris. and while the basic plan called for a grid of lettered and numbered streets, l'enfant used the opportunity to develop a more ambitious plan to use the landscape to visually represent the form of government that had just been created. so atop a hill called jenkins hill, he found a natural pedestal for the capitol building whe

pierre love font, the city planner for washington d.c. was famously laying out his design for his city to be realized and that was the war of 1812, in several other occurrences that made the execution of washington, d.c., take a little bit more time than the founding fathers had intended. the united states botanic ardent after being endorsed by george washington, had a much-needed shot in the arm from another founding father james madison. james madison was a prominent member of an institution early on in the history of d.c. called the colombian institute. it was a gentleman, scholar society that was dedicated to the dissemination of natural history information, in many ways it was akin to the american philosophical society of philadelphia or the canopy of natural sciences which were also institutions in philadelphia that at that time was the center of american scientific enterprise. james mattis and we want to see a botanic garden on federal property. he was instrumental in the late 18 teens, having congress charter the existence of the

the foot of capitol hill the united states botanic garden was first proposed by president george, washington in a 1796 letter next a visit to the grounds of the oldest botanic garden in north america to learn about the history of this plant museum. my name is ari novy. i'm the executive director of the united states botanic garden. we're standing on what's currently called union square which is the end cap one could say of the national mall on the east side just before you arrive at the united states capitol. it's a really fascinating piece of land because it's actually gone through many transformations in terms of what's been here over the course of the history of washington dc really since around 1800. it's important to the botanic garden because the first united states botanic garden was actually on this piece of land even though today. it's most notably associated with the capital reflecting pool and the memorial to grant and so what i'd like to do today is to present a little bit of the early history of the united states botanic garden show a couple of the remaining trees. actually that

so after george washington laid out a vision for the u.s. botanic garden in the late 1700s, there was not much action. the country was going through a lot of changes. we were setting in on a location for the capitol, the white house. dr l'enfant, this it -- pierre l'enfant, the designer, whereas laying out plans that would be realized. we had a lot going on, the war of 1812 and other things that made the overall planning of washington dc take probably more time than the founding fathers intended. the united states botanic garden, after being endorsed by washington, got a shot in the arm from another founding father in james madison. james madison was a prominent member of an institution called the colombian institute. it was a gentlemanly, scholarly society dedicated to, among other things, dissemination of natural history information. it was a kin to the american philosophical society of philadelphia or the academy of natural sciences in philadelphia, which was at that time the center of american scientific enterprise. james madison really

how many did washington have?so, there were five members of the cabinet, including the president. there was the secretary of state, who was initially thomas jefferson. secretary of treasury, alexander hamilton. secretary of war, henry knox and the attorney general who did not have a department at the time, but was basically the government's lawyer who was edmond randolph. >> when did they first meet and why? >> the secretaries met as a group for the first time in april 1791. president george washington was leaving the capitol at the time, which was philadelphia. and he was going on a tour of the southern states this was the first tour he done and he was planning to be gone for a couple of months and he knew that there was a possibility that something might come up that would need an immediate response and he may not be able to give an immediate answer becauses the post took a really long time at that point. >>> so, he gave them the power to meet as a group, if an issue came up, and to then send his, their decision

that's the rescue of george washington's portrait when the british were invading washington in 1814. as dolley told the story in a letter to her sister, lucy, she remained at the white house waiting for james to return from the battle of bladens berg where the militia are not successful he keeping them out of d.c. she directing servants to fill up wagons with valuables that belong in the white house. one part that gets overlooked, but they save the cabinet papers and madison's papers. to me, that becomes almost in some ways something so important that we should not lose sight of. we know so much about the founding period because those papers were not burned in the white house. dolley does order that general washington's portrait be saved and not left to be vandalized. and it's been actually nailed in a wooden frame to the wall, so they have to break the frame, pull out the nails, roll the portrait up and she puts it in good hands for safekeeping and only then does she agree to evacuate. her pluck during these perilous moments did earn the ever-lasting gratitude of a country. in the m

so george washington is mr. president. martha washington is lady washington. james madison is mr.ey is queen dolley. so the men have to draw this very strict line but the women get to express of aristocratic longings. that's one of the messages she's sending out. 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 samuel mitchell but he wasn't alone. >> who called her queen dolley? >> a lot of people did that. >> affectionateffectionately. she dressed a queen, which is what you see in a lot of the reports or a lot of the letters, she looked every inch a queen. sometimes they say 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 dressed and she looks to american eyes as a queen. and that's fine, because she's not the head of state. so she's walking a very fine line, where she expresses the finer things to which the nation aspires but she's not royalty. so she's
