archaeologist david webster. webster: suppose i came into this stadium a week, or even a century, after all the people left. how would i figure out what happened here ? what this arena was used for ? this is the dilemma facing archaeologists. symbols are of fundamental importance in understanding any human culture because they're so laden with meaning. but they're not very durable, and even if we find them, often we can't decode them. in this case, though, i'm in luck because of this -- writing. writing is a set of graphic symbols that is directly or indirectly related to language. keach: we use writing to convey very specific information, from introducing team members to explaining the referee's hand signals. this detailed guide brings the stadium to life. but archaeology is never this simple. archaeologists rarely find program notes to ancient societies. if writing exists in a society, it usually serves very specific purposes. and like any other kind of symbolic system, it has to be decoded and deciphered. in f

you talked about the statesman, calhoun and webster. those individual members of congress, did they fill a advantage yule of executive leadership that may have been missing ahead of lincoln's election? >> i don't know if i'd go that far. there are strong positions of congressional leadership. clay is a great example of that. shaping policy to an extreme degree in congress. i don't know if i would say it's filling a vacuum, but congress is a force and a presence and there are people in that period who are asserting and shaping what they envision congress as being. again, still an einvolving institution. >> part of the reason it stopped filling a vacuum is because the federal government is so much smaller. our expectation -- their expectations of the federal government were so much more reduced than it was -- >> right. >> than it is today. where today it's hard to -- the federal government is involved in all kinds of our lives, all sorts of dimensions and the president in particular is seen as the central -- the central personality to who

i do think generally speaking, our image of congress in this period is clay, calhoun and webster sort of making great words. they're not surprised there's some violence. there's 119 incidents. and particularly given a lot in the house and senate chambers. just doesn't tend to be put in congressional records. they didn't know it was there to look for. >> what was the biggist take away from this discussion? >> the importance of violence, not just, it's a surprise. it was happening as much and it was such a prominent feature. speeches that are given of the doings of government. the stakes involved -- >> it's politics. >> yeah, and it was shaping what was going on in important ways. this is, i don't know of any congressional scholars that have looked at this phenomenon, so it's really exciting. >> in discussion, did you have other scholars participating? >> there were some in the audience! are y . >> are you asking about the other paper? >> in the session today? >> yes, there were. we had another section looking at the contemporary period and the engagement of congress and foreign policy

that will definitely keep it all in these cases as they unfold that was stephen webster senior editor for raw story may day with a day that brought hundreds of thousands of worldwide out in the streets to stand for economic justice but out of all the retelling of maydays historical roots one disturbing event has been kept out of the dialogue and for good reason did you know that on may day in one nine hundred seventy one the army herded seven thousand protesters into a stadium turned prison camp right here in washington d.c. these are some of the photos of the event from the website the exiled its news coverage of the camp in d.c. well that was back in the one nine hundred seventy s. a lot's changed since then right when not exactly the infamous incident of the u.s. military interfering and local law enforcement operations leads us to a recently released video did document called internment and resettlement operations that manual outlines policies for processing detainees in internment camps inside and outside of the u.s. including the reeducation of detainees to ensure their integrat

mean, i do think generally speaking, our image of congress in this period senior clay calhoun and webster sort of making great words. so yeah, it isn't the image. so i think people -- they're not surprised that there was some violence. there's a famous painting of charles sumner. whenever i say congressional violence, everyone says there's charles sumner but there's 119 other incidents in which people are doing something physical. people become very surprised particularly gimp a lot of it is is in the house and senate chambers. it doesn't tend to be put in the period of the equivalent of the congressional record. it hasn't been parent and people didn't know it was there. >> professor, what was the biggest take away from historians on congress and politics? >> i think the importance of violence, this is something we've been talking about, it's a surprise. it's happening as much and that it was such a prominent feature of law making, of the speeches that are given, of the doings of government. it isn't just bad men behaving badly. there were policy stakes involved. >> it's politics. >> yeah
