at one point they burn woodrow wilson, a picture of woodrow wilson in effigy and are arrested again. this is alice paul protesting the 1920 election. the suffrage amendment finally clears the congress and it goes out to the states for ratification. now they're protesting the blockage by other parties. the blockage by republican parties in the states. so we've escalated again. now we're not against the democrats, we're going to be against the republicans until you bring this home to us we will oppose whoever is in opposition to us. and counting it down to the final passage of the amendment ratification of the amendment, y ratification of the amendment by the states, this is the holy grail of banners. this is the missing banner. this is the ratification banner. alice paul sewed a star onto this banner for every state as it ratified the suffrage amendment. later in her life, interestingly, she made a charm bracelet and added a charm in the shape of every state as it ratified for the e.r.a. but here she's sewing stars on a suffrage banner. and in the end, unfurled it from the balcony of

in some ways woodrow wilson protected himself from scandal, again, but that image. during the campaign of 1912 when theodore roosevelt was running out of third-party ticket, the bull moose ticket and william howard taft was running and wilson was running what people came to woodrow -- to the roosevelt and said, we have letters between woodrow wilson and mary peck. if you publish and you will win. roosevelt said, no, that would be wrong. also, nobody would believe me. going to think the man is a romeo. he looks like the apothecaries' clerk. [laughter] >> great. okay. >> the feature running through each of your books. very active. in the case of wilson, jefferson , particularly jefferson's family, very effective. jefferson, family that surrounded him. is it just possible that they were so thoroughly in the nile that they justin recognize? >> you know, that is something that has been the lot of sleepless nights wondering about. in that thing that it's possible that in some cases you're able to convince yourself that what is right in front of your eyes is not true. if yo

woodrow wilson, april 2nd, 1917. "mr. wilson, if you will free europe why will you not free women in the united states?" when still no attention comes, the russians have now given women the vote. when the russian envoys come to the united states to meet with the president to discuss war tactics, they come up with a special sign of their own. in a way these are like the rapid response of the time. the situation is coming up you can make a banner that will react to that particular situation and build upon it. it's sort of -- my colleague likes to call them the sound bytes of the pre-media world. and it's amazing how long. if you notice the text on banners is getting longer. they start to become actual conversations, questions and points, not just something pretty, not just a little thought for you to come away with. now they're standing still in front of the white house. this is something that you can read and think about. and it's not going to go anywhere. it's not a thought to just prompt you. it's something for you to con

woodrow wilson said we didn't fight this war to hand over people to be colonies of part of one power or another. and his idea was the league of nations which was very much, of course, his greatest hope for the world and the institution he really brought into existence. his idea was that the league of nations would supervise britain and france's running of the middle east or anyone else's running of the middle east for the benefit of the people of the middle east. woodrow wilson felt, and i think he had some reason to think this, that large parts of the middle east were not yet ready for self-government. that's not true of egypt which is always a different question, but there are parts of the middle east who had no experience of self-government and how do you create countries? you can't create countries out of nothing. woodrow wilson insisted that the mitt middle east be run for the benefit of the people of the middle east. and they wanted to protect their existing colonies. what they were also concerned about was oil, because oil was now beginning to become a very important commodity

and what happened with woodrow wilson and where did everything grow? in my own reading, it seemed to me that the ideas grew with wilson but it was roosevelt who really put the institution mechanism in place. would you comment on that? >> i think that is a pretty good place to start. i think the problem with a capital l. leadership model of the presidency, let me see -- when you get the federal trade commission started under wilson, the federal reserve, that's a semi--- what happens in this modern model is the president is expected to be at the apex of solving all these problems, and so we do is, what happens in the white house now, you really see with obama with office hours, white house special assistant for x. problem, is that the white house is now implicated in trying, the president isn't located in trying to sell all of our problems. whenever a new problem comes along you start a new white house task force and/or you proposed legislation for congress to set up an independent agency or expand an existing independent agency with a new mission. dodd-f

woodrow wilson is the most racist president in american history. he resegregated washington, d.c., and the federal government which had both been desegregated in the civil war. the way blacks were treated in world war i and world war ii was horrifying. i mean my own mother in world war i was kicked out of the uso because she refused to sing at a army camp in arkansas where german prisoners of war were placed in front of black gis for the show. so there's always been both the tradition of being a soldier, the tradition of people first denigrating black military, not in the 18th century by any means and not during the time of the indian wars by any means. each generation of blacks who went to had to refute an earlier generation insists that they couldn't wor where the most highly decorated american troops in the war were the harlem hell fighters, 369th regimen from this community who won more decorations than any other americans in that war and served longer. and they fought in french uniforms under the french flag with french weapons because woodrow

barack obama turns out to be the perfect the baton of woodrow wilson of simply that he's the academic president sort of, but like wilson he doesn't have much regard for the of original principal of the constitution. i almost feel like any to a second edition already because the last couple of weeks, last week matt lauer of nbc news asked obama how come you haven't succeeded in getting us this grant hope and change he promised? and obama's answer, quote, it turns out our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change that i would like. it turns out? peace just discovering it now? yousaf through some of professor obama's class is a the university of chicago. i point out in the book is ostensible scholar of constitutional law at to the elite of the equal protection clause. his favorite clause of course in the constitution that is their license to everything he seems to have just skipped over the separation of powers and all the institutional design questions of the constitution so i and the book by saying that the modern presidency can really be set to begi

i teach at georgetown university and this year i am at the woodrow wilson center so occasionally i write books. i talk to veterans and soldiers about going to war and coming home. >> host: what is your connection to the naval academy? >> guest: i used to teach at the naval academy. 4 two years. i was there inaugural distinguished chair in ethics. they have a cheating scandal and they are in the limelight being near washington and they needed to brainstorm about how to teach ethics and so they called me in and -- i have taught ethics for years at georgetown for 20 years. some of that before, yale and as a graduate student. they were surprised that there had been people teaching ethics as part of the curriculum. we modified the course to talk about character in war and character of midshipmen and sailors and marines. was fascinating. it was a fascinating tour of duty. >> host: what is your tour -- your background? >> i went to a problem in's college in pennsylvania and then i had a stint abroad. i have a degree from the university of edinburgh. then i came back and went to harvard. ph.d. f

was at princeton, and woodrow wilson makes it very clear. he dismisses the unalien i can't believe rights line and concept in the declaration of independence which is the essence of our founding. he says the constitution cannot possibly be divided this way with one, in essence, body part organ fighting with another body part organ so he basically said that the federal government and the different branches have to do whatever they have to do to bring authority within the federal government. fdr agreed with that. and fdr relied on a number of phony experts including a columbia professor who said that you must attack individualism. you must attack american individualism or otherwise this whole notion of community and the consolidation could never occur. this is a long way of answering your question. the new deal was clearly an attack on our constitutional system. if these programs are so wonderful, and if the people want them so overwhelmingly, and we're under the process of adopting it. it's the amendment process of the constitution. but the w

as kristin fisher reports, it's happening at woodrow wilson high in northwest d.c. >> money is importantyone and if i can get money for doing something good, then might as well do it. >> reporter: alaina jacobs is a junior at woodrow wilson high school. if she scores well on the upcoming cas, the annual standardized test, she'll get a $50 gift card from the school. >> i was pulled out of class one day and my administrator said hey, alain arks if you get an advance or -- alaina, if you get an advance or position on your standardized reading test in math, we'll give you $100 of. >> reporter: that's two $50 gift cards for two good scores, but the offer is only open to sophomores and juniors. >> i think it's kind of bribing, but if they can do well and score high, i think that's what it is because we didn't have it at all in the 10th grade. >> as students we're kind of lazy. so we don't really want to do anything, but if you give us incentives like money, we're going to do it. >> reporter: now while most students love the idea of getting a $50 gift card, many parents don't feel quite the sam

woodrow wilson was our only phd president. there's a reason for that, of course. but wilson was committed to the notion of breaking down the barriers and the walls that separated the academy from government. and he was right. because we need the best of both worlds in order to come up with wise and judicious policies. i invoke wilson's spirit. he may not have been the embodiment of his own fondest hopes, but i invoke the spirit because we're going to need his help. rarely have i seen a region that is royal with so much uncertainty and so much confusion. and rarely has american influence been as constrained in dealing with these problems. three in particular. and i offer them as a way to, i guess, define and highlight some of the challenge that's are facing the united states. number one is the problem of iran which has continued to suck all the available oxygen, sometimes rationally and sometimes not, out of the conversation. we have a budding crisis. there's no question about that. and no good means to resolve it. second, the arab spring, arab winter, asia wakening

so woodrow wilson had, i think, a better idea and he tried a different approach. and what he did was he created not just a single central bank, say, in washington, but he created 12 federal reserve banks located in major cities across the country. and so the picture shows the 12 federal reserve districts that we still have today and each one has a federal reserve bank in it. and then a board of governors which oversees the whole system is in washington, d.c. notice by the way how many of the little black dots are to the right. in 1914, most of the economic activity in the united states was in the eastern part of the country. now, of course, it's much more even, but the reserve banks are in the same locations as they were in 1914. but anyway, the point here, the value of this structure was, again, creating a central bank where everybody, all parts of the country would have a voice and where therefoinformation ab aspects of our national economy would be heard in washington. and that is in fact, still the case. when the fed makes monetary policy, it takes into accoun

i just want to echo what congresswoman harmon said in the opening, woodrow wilson truly is quite amazing in creating that political space for conversations that you rarely find anywhere else. feer partake in that conversati conversation. i'm going to address two key issues, one is iran in the aftermath of recent uprisings. the second one is this very interesting u.s.-israel-iran triangle. to preface it, when you have significant changes, transformation, as was mentioned earlier, taking place in the region, it forces all actors to take into account there's new moving parts. have you to put them into the new equations, figure out how they fit, how they don't fit. you have to reassess and calibrate their interests, vis-a-vis not only their enemies but vis-a-vis their friends. that's a natural process. it's now taking place in the way iranians are dealing successfully with the arab world but also something interesting to analyze on how the perspectives, diverging perspectives between the united states and israel is taking place on the issue of iran. i'll get back to that later. on the first

people like woodrow wilson, jane adams, people who believed that american society had become less democraticss efficient, with the rise of being business. and they wanted to adjust the structure of society so they would serve the majority of the people better. the progressive era led by progressives, of course, we have to thank for that, the federal reserve system, some government regulation of banking and finances, the 16th, 17th, and 18th amendments for populist senators and income tax and for prohibition as well, which was to moralize society and force americans to be more self-disciplined in their leisure time. so, progressives were reformers. they were what we now think of as liberals but a different kind than most liberals now. liberals now are not for prohibition. >> host: you say this book was inspired by dr. seuss. what do you mean by that? >> guest: a little bit of -- i don't know -- trying to draw people into the argument but i loved dr. seuss books when i was a child. my mother read thome, and my children now who are grown up, i read those books to them when they were growing up,

south came together to kind of we won't talk about that on the 50th anniversary of the civil war woodrow wilson gives a speech. as a result, he's trying to reclaim this history for black americans as well as white americans. >> he makes a somewhat controversial point which you happen to agree with that tags a number of historians to task. the tradition is to talk about civil war as great tragedy and that's true. yet the outcome was unarguably good and moral. and partly, perhaps because a lot of blacks don't study it and partly because of the whitewashing, the focus on the meaning of the war and the tragedy or not or the nobleness of the lost cause gets lost. >> we've been talking about "at lanlt -- "the atlantic" special edition on the civil war. >> you can go to our website and order a copy of the magazine and we'll happily send it out to you. our website is theatlantic.com and buy it on a tablet if you have an ipad or kindle, you can download a copy there. >> other pieces or features as well? >> you can find individual pieces from the issue on our website. >> we have really cool allen taylor

corporate power and when you look at the list it's jefferson and lincoln and teddy roosevelt woodrow wilson franklin roosevelt people like justice brandeis it's people from both parties from the eighteenth century the nineteenth century the twentieth century the twenty first century there has been a concern that when you get to. it's concentration of wealth in the hands of too few people it is anti-democratic and you know some surprising people. not just american presidents adam smith who you know alan greenspan practically went to worship at his grave. you know and say you know this is the champion of free markets he saw what happened with the british east india company and he said this is not capitalism capitalism is small companies. with real opportunity competing in an open market and he especially wrote about the theory of moral sentiments right up and that was his so there is an arc that arguably you can draw from from marbury vs madison or the supreme court first took on the power to declare was unconstitutional which is not given a constitution through dartmouth true through the fir

constitution, dismantle to push with utopian government and this state is them but it most prominent was woodrow wilson. looking at his writings before president he makes it clear to dismiss the inalienable rights and concept of declaration of independence. he says the constitution cannot be divided this way with one body part fighting with another body part. said he said the federal government has us to do whatever they have to do to bring authority within the government. fdr replied waiting for a columbia professor at said he must attack individualism and otherwise level motion of consolidation could never occur. long way to answer the question the new deal was clearly an attack on the constitutional system. if these programs are so wonderful is called the amendment process. is like an ongoing constitutional convention. who cares? pass a law. captain trade the same thing. what is going on today is a two words. fundamental transformation. those of the words of obama. when you look at the constitution does the present have the power to fundamentally transform america? of course, not. why would you want

woodrow wilson. at that level of politics it tends to be a trait that causes problems. polk was probably the most success ofl of the sankt moanous presidents. people can argue about joe wilson. i believe he injected world war i that led to world war ii. that's a debate for another show. >> you talked about two people there, the john quincy adams approach to -- he was a president. had been the sixth president of the united states and went on 17 years in the house of representatives. what did he do when james polk was inaugurated president? >> he had a chance to be in the inaugural procession, which he had no intention of doing because he was jr. sup set about polk's election. he despised andrew jackson but he was a giant of his time. now he had his protege and polk was elected. it was a rain "day planner" that day. it rained all day during the inauguration. quincy adams kind of watched from a distance and then put rye comments of many of them quite pointed in his diary about polk and the proceedings. >> did you look up his diary? >> oh, yes. his diary goes on and on. >>
