, there was an understanding that white population was made of the great whites, the landowning whites, wealthy class and a little whites the majority experience is the absent archives so there was a research challenge there and there was another research challenge. you asked me earlier whether i can talk about the relationship between this book "life of a klansman" and slaves in the family 20 odd years ago and one thing this book "life of a klansman" does that echoes the template of slaves in the family i find in louisiana and a couple northern states, african americans living today whose ancestors were victimized by the marauders of the ku klux klan great great grandfather joined and with their participation i tell their family stories as well, what happened to that family in this massacre, what happened to them after where they are now so that was another research problem, finding and gaining trust of several families who would allow me to come visit them in for representative, someone who represents one of the family members who violated and abused their people, their ancestors som

jordan george henry white and white supremacy headed congressman white and his family so viciously that he left forever in 1900 and his parting words work that i cannot remain in north carolina and be treated as a man. and after the coup, the black citizens served in congress in north carolina until 1992, that is almost 100 years later and that is for a century almost, this coup prevented it or lead the effort to prevent black citizens from serving in public office in washington and north carolina. in three black aldermen were forced at gunpoint in 1898, and no black citizen serve in the city council until 1972, more than 70 years later reading in the coup also provided the blueprints for intimidation of black men who try to vote in south. and also the jim crow era in north carolina in fact wilmington was a among diversities north carolina to segregate the streets in the jim crow, they thought of the steel end midterm election attacking the black voters prefers, wilmington school leaders on how to do it. debbie smith later elected government said that we can handle the blocks away they

the land owning whites. the wealthy class. and the little whites. the majority experience of the petite is the archive so there was a research challenge there. there was another research challenge. you asked me earlier, kerry, whether i could talk about the relationship about this book, "life of a klansman" and "slaves in the family" 20 ode odd years ago and one of the things that this book does that has an echo as the template of "slaves in the family." in this book, i find in louisiana and in a couple of the northern states african-americans living today whose ancestors were victimized by the marauders of the ku klux that my great-great grandfather joined. and i -- and with their participation and consent i tell their family stories as well. you know, what happened to that family under these -- in this massacre. what happened to them after and where they are now. and so that's -- that was another research finding and then actually gaining the trust of several families who would allow me to come visit them as a representative of someone who represe

they repeated the white narrative that black men were planning to riot and kill white men and rape white women. and just as a side note, i read hundreds of newspaper articles from 1898 and did not find a single instance where a white reporter interviewed a black citizen which i found just absolutely remarkable. now, there have been other so-called race riots in america in tulsa, chicago, atlanta, elsewhere generally and racial revolution carried out by armed vigilantes and it was america's only permanent violent overthrow of an elected government. now you this major event would be described in north carolina history books and when it was mentioned it was portrayed heroic white response to black race riot and good government effort to replace corrupt negro rule. and closing, let me just read you some descriptions of the coup that appeared in north carolina public high school textbooks that help people the lie alive. again, this is from state sanctioned public textbooks for high school students. there's a quote from a public school textbook 1933, quote, there were many negro office holders

white men and rape white women. that's the story northern readers got. that's the lie that was told for decades. as a side note, i read hundred of articles from 1898 and did not find a single instance where a white reporter interviewed a black citizen, which i found absolutely remarkable. there have been many other so-called race riots in america, tulsa, chicago, atlanta and elsewhere. these were spontaneous outbursts of white rage, usually involving some sort of contact between a black man and a white woman. wilmington was unique. the violence was premeditated. the coup was planned for months. it was a revolution carried out by armed vigilantes. it was america's only permanent violent overthrow of an elected government. you would think this would be described in north carolina history books. in fact, it was barely mentioned. when it was mentioned, it was portrayed as a heroic white response to a black race riot and a good government effort to replace corrupt negro rule. let me just read you some descriptions of the

they repeated the white narrative that black men were planning to riot and kill white men, and rape whiteen, and that's the story northern readers got, and that's the lie that was told for decades afterwards, and just as a side note, i read hundreds of newspaper articles from 1898 and did not find a single instance where a white reporter interviewed a black citizen, which i found just absolutely remarkable. now, there have been many other so called race riots in america, in tulsa, chicago, atlanta, and elsewhere, but these were generally spontaneous outbursts of white rage, usually involving some sort of contact between a black man and a white woman. but wilmington was unique. the violence was premeditated, the coup was planned for months. it was a carefully orchestrated racial revolution, carried out by armed vigilantes, and it was america's only permanent violent overthrow of an elected government. now you would think this major event would be described in north carolina history books. in fact, it was barely mentioned. and when it was mentioned, it was portrayed as a heroic white respon

that some people feel i have this, this notion of white white replacement theory. that if it, that if you're going to diversify being, you know, to 0 sum game between races. now i gotta tell you, i've interviewed ceos all around this country, all of whom are that i've talked to are trying to basically say, we need to commit to educational black and brown communities. we need them in our, our corporate leadership. we need them on our board and we need them work in our company. we need to broaden the aperture and bring those folks in. and i have to tell you none of them talk about it in this white replacement theory way, but people have this fear. when you go into a community, you go in to talk to them about how we get this right. what i, what, how do you bring them along so that they understand that at the end of the day we're going to be a much healthier nation. ah, with real diversity out and, and it's going to be every one wins. how do you do that? well, well, initially it's a perspective and thought that you go into understanding that this is quote, unquote a ma

you could think about the pop culture today and white youth, particularly white suburban youth who pick up on these adaptations and style and culture. >> right. even the '20s. it's a pretty repetitive, you know, sort of trend, cycle also part of what i wanted to do with this book was to think about is there something specific about the new millennium? this book is focused in post 2000 culture. right is a something specific about the internet for the way pop culture works now? that may be changes or in flex that trend in any way. >> the first line in your book says appropriation gets a bad rap. why does it get a bad rap? >> i think in some ways appropriation has the definition of the word sort of in our popular lexicon now is really seriously associated with a certain form of appropriation. appropriation that exhibits some sort of power differential between the people who create things and then the people who get credit for creating things. or there's a sort of like racial disparity. one of the things i was thinking that is appropriation is really so much broader than that. you think abo

but what i'm saying is that we have a problem in white, no identity, and the white power structure is what i was talking about is a power structure and the most predominant and powerful power structure in this country, inches. you know, what comes with patriarchy and i would say, you know, even in english and told me, see this as well. and so absolutely this who things go from your image, whether you like it or not, if you are a white man. and that means because you benefit from us, you have some responsibility for it. i need to look at it openly. if you can't handle hearing about it because it makes you feel implicated without stopping and going, wait, am i implicate? isn't chances are you're not actually in fast food in making change. you've out of your comfort over the ways in which the violent system is crushing and killing people of color. little bit here in your book, this is about status by making politeness and melon as their own or we descend to try to send to 5 white men from working to net privilege status. if you are confident you seem to be great just for being white. a m

, they knew that women in white would show up better in back and white photographs. and they knew when those black and white photographs were recreated in half tones to be printed in newspapers, they would show up even better. you see women in white seated in congress at the state of the union, and even in this photograph here, they do tend to stand out. that is one of the reasons why suffragists chose white to begin with. in a lot of ways, a lot of the imagery that the suffragists really created throughout the 19th and into the 20th centuries is still part of our modern political culture. and i'm actually going to go back a little bit further into the 18th century just to start us off, and set us up for the visual conversations that are really taking place during the 19th century. so i would like to start us off with phillip daw. this is a political cartoon from 1755. it's a mezzotint. he was a political cartoonivity, probably -- political cartoon ist. this is a group of women who signed a petition that they aren't going to purchase tea. you can look closely at this

they knew women in white would show up better in black and white photographs. and they knew those black and white photographs when they were created in half tones and printed in newspapers, they would show up even better. even in the 21st century when we see these women in white seated in congress at the state of the union or even in this photograph here, they do tend to stand out. and that is -- that is one of the reasons why suffragists chose white to begin with. a lot of the images the suffragists created is still part of our modern political culture. i'm actually going to go back a bit further into the 18th century just to start us off and set us up for the visual conversations really taking place during the 19th century. this is a political cartoon and it's made by a london artist. he probably read about this boycott happening in north carolina in a local newspaper. as far as we know he'd never been to the colonies, but this was the scene he imagined after he read about this boycott. it's a group of women in north carolina who are signing a petition that t

how did white people at the time handle -- >> a white family? well, i think it was handled in a variety of ways. but there are two models that come to mind. . when is that there is a white couple, this labeling couple in the house. the african americans who live adjacent to the big house. and the husband, when there is a white couple, and he wishes to avail himself of sexual pleasure. and he does so either by force or threat or some kind of bargaining quid pro quo, on the slave street. meanwhile, his wife, a white wife, it's probably aware of our husbands nighttime ... perhaps he's not doing this all the time. but perhaps it's established in the family. but it sounds like this is one template, to me. the wife is aware of it. and it's just an awful kind of poison circulating in the household, in the white house hold, not to mention on the slave street. that's one template. another template is that young sons, this is probably more common. the young sons of the white landowners often had their first sexual experiences as 16 or 17 year old man with

white. white. white. white. white. all over media all day long. explicit racial attack.t's that have to do in this case? what kind of country is that allowed when the most powerful people in the country level explicit racial attacks against one of their countrymen? most of us didn't grow up in a country where people talk like this. it's very honest to talk like this right now! just a reminder in case you're tuning in for the first time in a year, everyone involved in this case is the same color! the people of the council on american-islamic relations offered this take, which was very common today on the left. "it is difficult to imagine a black or muslim defend -- defendant engaged in the same conduct being found not guilty." really? what about the o.j. trial? ridiculous. msnbc says the network was banned from the white house. they broadcast this stream today from a relative of jacob blake. >> you tell us why he got a free ride. his bail money was raised by the cowboys, the ku klux klan, the nazis, the skin heads. are they plugged up in this courtroom? do we know the his

mainstream white organizations led by white women focuses on white women in particular, they are also planning to vote for women of color. major carol was born enslaved but became one of the first women in the united states, the first black woman to earn a bachelors and masters degree. she was elected to be the first president of the national association of colored women which was founded in 1896. the organization was different from other suffrage organizations. they wanted the vote for women but were thinking more broadly about gender and race-based issues. they were thinking about protecting the vote for black men, they were thinking about anti-segregation, anti-lynching, how to educate their children. there is much more broad and as you can see from this image and many others like it, she emphasizes she and her fellow black women's rights activists are extraordinarily respectable, refined, elegant. she was interested in fashion and you can see she often has extravagant herself in these images, she's a fairly wealthy woman, fairly elite woman in washington dc at the time and you can

that they're white. and so that will be done, the challenge will always be the challenge driven isn't really wanted to touch him because he speaks so comfortably and confidently about white supremacy patriarchy. but when you work on a book like this, there is a toll. when you talk about racism, white supremacy and hate and people who don't like you talking about that, make it very, very clear. can you share not part of your what do you mind? yeah. you know, i think that anyone who, especially if you are a person of color, honestly if you are a black woman, we, when you threaten the system, the system comes back for you and people who are investing system come for you. and absolutely my experience, while it might seem extreme, if you're not doing this work, is not unfamiliar to many black people who have been fighting for liberation and for change in this country. and so, you know, we've been threatened, we've had, you know, officers brought to our home when we were swatted, we have had to move from our h

if you don't admit it as a white liberal you are a white supremacist. the step of the healing process. but we are all guilty, especially you because how many kids do you have like nine? >> that is a white supremacist army! [laughter] >> they are mexican. i'm the only one who's condemned my house. i get a free pass. >> to your point, sean, if you disagree with their position, regardless of the color of your skin, you're also a white supremacist. >> greg: there you go, now black republicans are white supremacist. what about the theory you have different filters to look at different things. if you only have one filter whether it is gender, you will not be able to predict how the world works. if it's this race, you will be wrong 80% of the time. >> i think that is part of it but i think also people don't pay that close of the tension. get paid to read things. a lot of people don't. and you kind of listen to vibes. a lot of people get news from headlines and vibes. >> greg: right, like that title. >> if you listen to the vibe of the story he would think he s

of any white instance of violence, black people know overall white people aren't with guns patrolling the streets being able to shoot whatever they want to doesn't work out well for us. so there is a concern about justice and fairness and there is some self-preservation, there is -- i know that doesn't work out for me. the people that can't see that are like people who are chewing on rosemary like a cow saying it tastes bitter. it's like you idiot, it's supposed to go in the soup. there is a whole soup of racism and if you only pull out one bit or another bit like you might miss the whole meal here and black people like the meal. >> i like your chant of yes, we care. that's a key part of this. i as much as this is a black political cliche, i watched the ruling in the barbershop this afternoon. no one was surprised. everyone said we're surprised the judge didn't give him a gold star and medal when he was done. speaking of which. paul one of the most galling things about you, what did shock a lot of people is the behavior is just the judge. i want to play a clip and get your thoughts on

a judge who was white, all the lawyers are white. is a white supremacist. what am i missing?e missing knowing. the left doesn't care about facts. for their agenda they need to play the race card. that was a color-blind verdict. there was nothing in that case about race from beginning to end. it doesn't make a difference to cnn. if you don't agree with them, you are a racist. if you support kyle rittenhouse you are a white supremacist. i'm a lawyer, i supported the verdict. so what? we have people of all colors representing the justice system. but it doesn't make a difference to them. judge jeanine: they have such little information. leo, when i was trying cases as a prosecutor, you had people of all colors on the bench trying cases. nobody cares. the truth is in real america this doesn't matter. but they are so fraudulent in their efforts that they have the media in brazil as we just heard from glenn greenwald saying the victims were black. how can americans trust the media? we can't. >> we cannot. this is frightening. america is watching your show. you cannot trust the media

>> elijah white. >> none other than elijah white. here in some of the opening shots of the gettysburg campaign, we have two men representing loudoun county, one loudoun-born, one maryland but adopted to loudoun county, on opposite sides of the battlefield. now, unfortunately for luther slater, unluckily for luther slater, luck can be good and luck can be bad. unlikely -- >> oh. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. now you turn it around. >> you've been giving me a hard time all day. unluckily for luther, his men are not going to put up the kind of fight that they did back at the waterford baptist church. the 26th pennsylvania militia is effectively scattered like leaves in the wind. these confederate veterans roll over them, about 175 of them are captured. their baggage is burned. luther escapes, but this is effectively the end of his front line service during the american civil war. now, one of the reasons i love this story is because just a few days later, the confederate army is going to approach gettysburg for a second time. and when

that's the vast majority republicans are 7 in 10 white and christian today and about one-third white evangelical. that's the group most animated by this message. >> what's stunning is not just they think the country was stolen, but obviously it has not been stolen, but the idea they think violence, 3 out of 10 think violence will be acceptable. the poll found among the 60% of white evangelicals who believe the election was stolen from trump which obviously is not true, 39% believe that true american patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save the country. so 39% of white evangelicals who think the election was stolen, that's a lot. >> it's a majority. it's the only religious group that thinks -- thinks the election was stolen -- >> white evangelicals. >> who voted 84% for trump. all in for trump. they believe this. and that especially if you unpack this, this is a religion that not that long ago talked about itself as the moral values of the country. that kind of. and turn the other cheek and all that stuff and yet here we are a major mainstream religion that's been all

chinese could not testify in court against a white person for they could not why marry a white person. those restrictions did not exist and australia. so and australia you had some instances of chinese weren't marrying white usually irish but also some english women, having children. that was a kind of, i do not want to say assimilation but a settlement that promoted because then they would raise families, they pay taxes. so you have a different kind of chinese/strength community that grows up because you have a somewhat more inclusion for a quick some of the chinese men married white women and australia. >> rate. >> you mention the chinese not being permitted to testify against whites. there were actually a couple of cases that went up to the california supreme court. one, a white defendant assaulted a chinese victim. in the chinese victim was not permitted to testify against the crime committed against them. so the white defendant got off and that was upheld by the california supreme court. some years later a black defendant came along and said it is a violation of equal protection

he has ties with white nationalism. interesting thing this week is mccarthy was mostly able to keep republicans together on this. only the two that we've seen be very outspoken, liz cheney and adam kin singer voted to support the censure. that was a big moment because he was able to unite these two factions of his party. he did say on thursday that he expected to reinstate paul gosar as well as marjorie taylor green. he is playing both sides of the fences here trying to appease centrists by letting them vote on the infrastructure bill and then also saying but these more controversial members, i will give you plumb committee spots if i'm speaker. >> it does show just how mainstream just how in the mainstream the right wing gop, the house gop is in embracing some of that violent language and at times extremist views. just the fact that you have kevin mccarthy around who is very conscious, you can tell, of the fact that they could retake the majority in the mid term going forward. he wants that leadership position and you'

perpetrator and a white defendant or white victim. so even though kyle rittenhouse was acquitted, we're looking at a case where these defendants may also potentially be acquitted in brunswick, georgia, and that is scary. >> a la, i do want to ask you, will the defendants in the ahmaud arbery trial face criminal charges face the defense in the prosecution? what do you make of that strategy, if you call it a strategy? >> i don't think it's a good strategy. i think they're doing it because they have 11 people on the jury who are white and one person that's black. i think they're afraid white people are not going to be able to handle the topic of white supremacy and white privilege. it's always a concern. whenever we launch an advocacy campaign at the aclu of louisiana, we think about whether or not we can tackle the issue of race. i think we have to tackle it head on. i think we have to trust that white people can understand white supremacy, that they, too, can respect what we know is the history in this country and i think when you avoi

this is obviously a former white house chief of staff. what do you make of the legal advice he apparently is getting? >> i'm sure his legal advice is very sound, but it's also the legal advice that he's asking for. it's clear that meadows does not want to testify, he wants to find a way to avoid testifying, and perhaps john's book provides the key to. that it may well be that mark meadows has testimony he would have to give if you are truthful, that he simply cannot afford to, give because it portrays him and just to negative. lay in a central figure in putting forward the insurrection. if not the insurrection, but the plot to try to avoid certifying the biden election. look, meadows has a choice to make here. he might decide that he's so well protected, by executive privilege, that he was inside of the white house, that he's willing to run the risk of noncompliance with the congressional subpoena. the problem that he has, is the executive privilege, even if it covers, him even if the conduct he's engaged in is viewed as being on the whit

supremacist white nationalist groups. they want to disrupt democracy think timothy mcveigh if you think about his experience he was associated with white supremacist groups his primary motive is he wants to disrupt government and toppled government. he saw government's overreach. at that component then you have extremists who are single issue minded whether they are acting out on their views about abortion, about environmental issues, about animal rights for you seem extremist behavior as well in this single issue oriented people. but yes white supremacy and nationalism is probably the primary driver we are seeing in the military and across the country that is by fbi director ray spoke to congress about that. that is waste defense secretary austin ordered the standdown earlier this year, general millie has spoken appropriately about the rise of white nationalism in the military. so it is important to get our hands around it. you have senior commanders who have literally said before congress that extremism does not exist i

he is a white supremacist.evidence backed that claim up or flashing white power signs or wore surgical gloves to cover his fingerprints. even the prosecution acknowledged he offered first aid. the notion that the judge was a supporter of donald trump first appointed by a democrat. those are powerful lies echoed again and again. what impact does that have on people that don't follow a case? they seem to create an environment where they expect a result that will never come based on evidence. based on testimony and based on facts. that's a dangerous set of lies you outline here. >> it sure it. it outrages the mob. joe biden smeared kyle rittenhouse as a white supremacist and jen psaki said that the president felt that kyle rittenhouse was a vigilante. that was a sly way of slamming. and joe biden could have shown grace and unity. he poured gasoline on the fire and said he was angry and concerned that a jury found an innocent man was innocent. that's undermining faith in the justice system. the entire establishment

vigilanteism, white supremacy, white, white. all over media all day long, explicit racial attacks. what does that have to do with this case? and in what kind of country is that allowed when the most powerful people in the country level explicit racial attacks against one of their countrymen? most of us didn't grow up in a country where people talk like this. this is a reminder in case you're tuning in for the first time in a year, everyone involve in this case is the same color. the people counsel on american-islamic relations offered this take, which was very common today on the left. quote, it is difficult to imagine a black or muslim defendant engage in the same conduct being found not guilty. really? were you here for the o.j. trial? it's ridiculous. msnbc, the network banned from the courthouse for following jurors around broadcast this from the relative of jacob blake. >> you tell us why he got a free ride. the bail money was raised by the proud boys, the ku klux klan, the nazis, the skin heads. are they up in this courtro

this is a white supremacist issue where white people need to talk about other white people about howr of black lives patter, are you going to allow your child to be one of the few whites in an all black school, are you going to invest in that school making sure that not just your child but every child in that community gets a fair shake. to balance this great injustice that has taken place for hundreds of years, it requires sacrifice. ive don't know what will that look like for you or for every person. it is different, i think. i thik are living in the moment and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole. ibrance may cause low white blood cell counts that may lead to serious infections. ibrance may cause severe inflammation of the lungs. both of these can lead to death. tell your doctor if you have new or worsening chest pain, cough, or trouble breathing. before taking ibrance,

white farmers threatened revenge.engthy negotiations resulted in a constitution and -- a non-racial constitution and mostly peaceful elections in 1994. millions voted in the african national congress and nelson mandela as president. as the men who covert the end of apartheid, de klerk showed the nobel peace prize with mandela. he later shared the -- chaired the government front. history will remember a leader who knew that white supremacy will run its course. >> fw de klerk recorded a message just before his death, apologizing to those he felt -- those who felt he had not accepted responsibility for the damage caused by racial segregation. >> in this last message, let me repeat, i, without qualification, apologize for the pain and the hurt and indignity and the damage that apartheid has done to black, brown, and indians in south africa. >> the president says de klerk helped put south africa on the path to democracy. >> he was a leader of a party that was largely discredited in relation to the role that the party playe

in fact come in during his is time at the white house. so this is a remarkable period of changing he seems to be really the first modern president because he understands that capturing the imagination of the american people is really a pr exercise and he needs to reach out to them in order to get congress to do something or in order to you know, extend american power throughout the world. so roosevelt is a revolutionary figure for the white house. not just because he names it but because he reshapes the office itself. well, we're going to take some questions like from i see them coming in from a lot of the people watching. but first we have another. special bit of insight from one of the brightest stars that i know at the white house historical association. it's senior historian, dr. matthew costello, and he's going to talk just for a moment about the remarkable influence that teddy roosevelt had on the white house itself. good evening. my name is dr. matthew costello, and i vice president of the david m reubenstein national center for wh

in other words, white people are not safe from white supremacy.of the matter is you have demonstrators who were protesting the fact that jacob blake was shot in the back seven times on his son's eighth birthday, the fact that you had all of these people in the area demonstrating, protesting, and we have this young man, 17 years of age, with an ak-47 who self-deputizes himself, self-appoints himself to go down and ostensibly, supposedly protect property. >> but what if the jury finds he was being chased, he turned around, somebody reached for the gun, he shot them? and he was justified. does that remove the onus? >> i don't think so. and the reason i say that is we can debate whether or not this is a plausible or in fact laughable defense. after all, this is somebody who posed with the proud boys. this is somebody who claims that he wants to save lives and serve as a medic but he didn't turn around to offer any aid to the people he shot. let's note that. against the backdrop of history, which is to say a long line -- a long ugly legacy of literally

those hispanic white supremacist again with her white supremacist tango and white supremacist tamalesu've heard this white supremacist all over at msnbc. this network was the worst idea bill gates ever had besides hanging out with jeffrey epstein. i shouldn't have said hanging. anyway -- too soon. that place, that no work lies to their viewers more than the guy who sold me those blue pills on craigslist. rock-hard my. but they blame whiteness for virginia's election while saying crt does not exist. it makes you miss the clinton era when the dems were very good at lying. so cross was filling in for the home ohmic blogger reed who had said the same thing. >> it was education, which is code for white parents don't like the idea of teaching about race. >> yes, because there is one thing missing in our educational system, it is america's history of racism. what is missing and the strip club is the smell of desperation. and baby powder. it is funny, though. how could someone named joy reid be so joyless and not to read? there are countless articles out there on crt and how often it is being

>> elijah white. >> none other than elijah white. so here in some of the opening shots of the gettysburg campaign, we have two men representing loudoun county, one loudoun born, one maryland, but adapted to loudoun county, on opposite sides of the battlefield. now, unfortunately for luther slater, unluckily, hey luck could be good and it could be bad. but luckily for luther slater -- >> wait a minute. now you turn it around. >> you're just going to give me a hard time. >> always. >> yeah. >> unlucky for luther his men will not put up the fight that they did back at the waterford church. they are scattered like leaves in the wind. these confederate veterans roll over them about 175 of them are captured and they're baggage is burned, luther escapes but this is effectively the end of his frontline service during the american civil war. now one of the reasons that i love this story is because just a few days later the confederate army is going to approach gettysburg for a second time and when they see guys in blue uniforms out along the
