washington gets a draft, washington makes final, very minute. claypool comes over with the final proof to say thank you. they've decided they are going to publish it. there's no weekend edition. the boy to an afternoon paper. expresses reluctance to part with it. saysngton impetuously fine, you can keep it. documentn keeps his meticulously. he rewrites old letters, sometimes. claypool basically sits on a in refused to sell it and believed to be lost. philadelphiaaves that morning and with martha and the green. which belongs to an alley to go to mount vernon. the paper hits the streets and the news explodes. it's republished in papers in philadelphia, new york, passes along washington in that really fascinating way and his diary says almost nothing. vernon and to mount this resignation in the daily advertiser. that's it. >> i would ask you to get up and deliver it, but we will save that for later. share some of the substance with us. it obviously withstood the test of time. >> i described them as pillars of liberty to those what washington and th

was inthat wisdom washington. the also recommended that we had an independent executive -- he also recommended that we have an then heent executive left the stage. that first level was called his farewell for a long time. that was almost as famous as his farewell address, but it predated his presidency. and that was an important document that was largely forgotten, but establishes that the farewell address of washington's ideas -- these are not hamilton goes riding -- this is not hamilton goes riding. washington was a man of deep ideas and understanding of history. and you get that continuity clearly from his first farewell. once he has become president, and this is discussed in this wonderful book, by the way, which i wish we could go through page by page, but we will not quite the able to do that, but once he get back onto the stage, he understands something he has to do as president, which are talk about a lot and that is set a series precedents. and so, this farewell address will become a precedent. before we

washington became a pivotal step making a leap into the 20th century. after we passed this in 1910 there was a domino affect across the country. immediately, oregon passed it. then california than that moved to the dakotas and montana and nebraska. to new yorkd across in 1919 and the national amendment passes. you could call us a big turning point in the effort to gain suffrage for women and the united states. the big event that began the suffrage movement did happen in new york. conventione women's led by susan b anthony on among other leaders. interestingly enough right after that she began a world wind -- a to advocate for women's rights periods went of the early leaders in the 20th century and washington state saw her in 1848 as a eight-year-old. barnstorming through illinois and that is emma smith defoe who suffrage leader of the movement through tacoma. she saw susan b anthony and central illinois when she was eight years old. susan b anthony asked who in the audience believe women should have the right to vote, as a stood up. old she that was a m

from martha, washington, her father was a white man and washington purchased the agreement. he was ataylor. ona's mother was a seamstress and at some point, ona was born. by the age of ten. moves up the ranks and becomes martha washington's top slave. so the moment they decide to bring slaves to new york, they choose seven people, seven enslaved men and women, ona was one of them. that begins the trip to the north. >> it's just getting good now. >> this is a good one. >> she arrives in new york in 1989 and the first time she's out of the slaves's house but it's a place where slavery still exists but so does black freedom and their stay in new york is brief. the nation's capital moves to philadelphia in 1790 and she spen spends the next six years in philadelphia which was the epicenter of freedom at that moment in time. no other place had as many free black people in the city and she watched this. here she is as an enslaved person. she sees this. she witnesses it. at this moment where she's coming of age, so no matter what the washingtons try to do and they are very thoughtfu

so what washington was making was a rye whiskey. we knew the res ki was 65% grain, 35% corn and then 5% malted barley. that was a popular recipe from the time period. and rye is a little different. most whiskey that folks drink today is made of corn which yields a sweeter product. rye is spicier, a little sharper. but it was the popular grain at the time. and how they would do this is they would take all of the different grains and mix them in these large barrels called mash tubs. and they would put them in and add boiling water. and behind us here, this is the boiler where the water gets heated up and then you would actually have to dip that out and bring it over to one of these large tubs and deposit the grain in here, put the boiling water in and then you take this mash rake and you would stir it. and stir it up and get it all, you know, all together. and then you would continue to do that until this was filled up. and by doing that, essentially what you're trying to do is to cook the grain to turn the starches that are in the gr

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. he was busy. washington's plan was a risky attempt to reverse the sagging fortunes. during the summer of 1776 british forces had driven the continental army across new jersey and into bucks county, pennsylvania. expired outright desertion had thinned the american ranks and many of those who remained were despondent. it would boost the army's morale and stiffen the resolve of congress and the people. three regimens comprising of about 1,400 men -- washington planned to bring 2,400 continental soldiers across the river, march to trenton and attack before dawn. two other elements of the army were part of the plan but they did not make it into the operation. the bad weather that occurred stopped both of those deployments meaning that everything would depend on main body's effort in washington. the

for washington. and it got voted down. but it was brought up right away. there were very early men in the legislature who advocated for women's suffrage. and-forward to the 1880's, washington is working very hard at the effort to become a state, which is achieved in 1889. but in the 1880's, women in the territory win the right to vote in 1883. immediately, they start to vote for a more progressive agenda in the territorial legislature. and they also unseat some of the more corrupt leaders in communities, like the seattle mayor who was known to have influence with the saloons, prostitution, and gambling. they vote him out of office, so you can imagine suffrage is not proving that popular with a lot of people. while the legislature in those days before we were a state could vote to pass suffrage, it did not take an amendment to the constitution. and women argued the first territorial constitution said "male" in a lot of places and it should be he or she or women or men. they voted for it in 1883. it pa

then in february, the senate votes, the washington state senate. by a bigger majority, and on february 25, 1909, the governor signed the bill to create the opportunity for washingtonians to vote for suffrage for women in washington state. upthat vote is going to come before washington men in november of 1910. so the suffrage amendment passes on november 8, 1910, and washington because the fifth state in the union to pass suffrage. the people coming west were people who were probably risktakers, where looking to break out of some conventional life that they might have experienced in the east, and a lot of suffragette came out here and worked from the east and worked hard as they saw the opportunity. cities tour step recently traveled to tacoma, washington to learn about its rich history. learn more about tacoma and other stops on our tour at c-span.org/citiestour. you are watching "american history tv," all weekend, every weekend on c-span3. announcer: up next on "american history tv," from history professor michael vorenberg speaks about the 14th a

washington d.c. now with critics claiming america's moral compass has lost direction on a dull trumped the u.s. mainstream media is repeatedly pushing the idea it's big business leaders who now offer the best guidance and ask people in new york whether they share that view. there's so much chaos and confusion these days many americans are looking for a new source of moral guidance so who should be having that stuff i think the founding fathers had a lot of inspiration there donald trump is the moral compass the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorists jimmy carter you like jimmy carter yes a lot of mainstream media outlets have another voice in mind the top dogs of corporate america. that's right the big boys in the boardrooms are now standing up for justice and fighting the power after charlottesville they just can't hold back any longer hate should be condemned and has no place in a country that draws its strength from our diversity and humanity prison draw missed a critical of what unity to help

jefferson was publishing the diplomatic mail to washington before washington got to read it. you could get three times a week a newspaper full of what they called billingsgate after a section in london where the really shoddy newspapers were published. and you could choose between the united states gazette or the gazette of the united states, just to confuse things further. as war in europe metastasized globally and britain blockaded france and the countries france had conquered in europe, the united states absorbed much of the french overseas trade. between 1790 and 1800, american carrying trade multipie plied -- multiplied five time the. as if in revenge, warships and privateers captured 400 american merchant ships to keep them from trading with britain. president john adams, succeeding washington, fought back. he built a squadron of six state-of to-the-art frigates, that means the largest small fighting ship, 38-44 guns, that staved off the french in the caribbean. in a war that is so obscure that it's called the quasi-war. it never even got a real came -t a real name. nap

in the "washington post" story that hasn't abated.i the washington post had people obviously on the plane with trump. the most damaging leaks are er coming from the intelligence community where you're seeing a lot of information that is being rather strategically released to the media. those are the ones most likely to be prosecuted because you'ree dealing with national security l type of information. as to the white house, that's clearly the mandate of general kelly, to get those leakers. that's tough, though. because, you know, this city, you know, floats on a rolling sea of leaks.. that's always been the case. cas it also has reporters who are trained to be able to get leaks. and so since the white house "ts a ton of calls all of the time fromwa reporters, you can' use a pen register to simply say well, you got a call from the washington post because the person says yeah, and so did my dog.nd inter i mean, everyone in washington gets calls from reporters. so it requires something that's difficult and it would be tappi interesting to see what sessions says. unless you're going tough do

now i have to respond to the washington, d.c. caller who just because he is a scientist and trump did not go along with his scenario about the global warming, it is typical of how liberals think. they attack, attack, if you do not agree with everything they say. the rest of the country knows that this kind of talks needing to be taken toward the un family. they are cowards who sit behind their people. a tough stance against them publicly needed to be taken. host: thanks for the call. more tweets, this from kevin -- out of control and delusional. -- presidentrica 1 trump is not the cause of the hostility from any foreign place. the washington times, trump saying fire and fury threat not tough enough. editorials from the wall street journal, trump be in theory on north korea -- trumpian theory on north korea -- fury on north korea. the foreign-policy elite who claim to be shocked also don't have much credibility after their policy across three administrations led to the current north korean danger. while the president's words were

washington d.c. while it my colleague neil harvey gauging reaction to trump's decision to sign and . the law the ridicule all mind of this but should we be more serious about they switch talking about the people who are basically running the country here we've been distracted the last forty eight seventy two hours by you know the the arrival and departure of mr party and i think it's really important that we get promptly back to business and we have a north korea exploding we've got you know lots of things going on here it's not as if our relations the u.s. and russia are going that well at the moment i mean there are a lot of problems much bigger then you know converting about you know temporary decision to let somebody who probably would have been more comfortable the bot of being called you know the soprano's in there as a communications director what we really need is a silvertone order. we're not even talking about that north korea russia china we're talking about potential theoretical world war

in washington, lincoln did depart from. this gives you a sense that the old trains, it took him many hours to get to gettysburg. rattling down the tracks. there are stories on the train of lincoln writing his speech. is he stopped along the way. they had to pick up water. the train, engines had to rest. here at hanover junction, just up the road here. if you haven't been to hanover junction, a wonderful place to visit. the railroad junction was an important place. lincoln went through there several times. they have -- restored the old depot, too. and you'll see images of hanover junction, sometimes associated with lincoln. they'll say lincoln is here on the platform. linken is probably not in these pictures, these pictures were probably taken the day before lincoln was there. when a whole group of people, marshals for the parade and marshals for the program were going up to gettysburg and they were stranded there for hours and hours and had nothing to do but take a lot of pictures, there's a tall man in a top hat in many of

the first half is the part that came from washington. so-called washington draft. this is together is known as the nickel aid copy. the second page is different paper. in pencil, not ink. and it shows, again, but no revisions on the second page either. only revision to this document here, instead of it is for us, it is for us the living to stand here, he has written instead it is rather for us, the living, we hear be dedicate, then goes to the next page, it is ungrammatical. we here be dedicated. you haven't heard that in your gettysburg address either. this is a crash revision. but there is another change i makes probably at that same time, too. having returned from the battlefield. having seen the sights that reynolds saw as he was shot from a horse, his horse, as he walked the same ground that army of the potom potomac and soldiers of the union and confederacy fought over. another change he made that morning after walking the bat elt field, just small one but i think it speaks volumes. he is underlined in pencil what they did here. that, and the change here, the

and, we're here in washington, d.c. i'm in washington, d.c., virginia, there's jefferson taifs highway. washington lee high school. >> well, you know, that's a good question. i think that is a judgment that has to be made more at the local level. and, mitch landrieu, mayor of new orleans two months ago, gave a very thoughtful speech on this. so, communities have to make judgments about this. a lot of these monuments are being moved to places of history. but, my concern as a former secretary of homeland security is we see white nationalists now, neonazis using these symbols as rallying points modern day. we saw what happened this charlottesville. we have to avoid repeat occurrences of that. >> i want to to back to president trump's comments and what mr. falwell said. is the media overreacting? did the president speak his mind? did he make it leer in your mind? >> i don't think the media is overreacting. the media everything the president says. what the president doesn't seem to grasp here is that he is -- our history is

there was some question as to whether washington would become king or what he would do to move the new nation in a new direction. so it was really important that what he ultimately decided was that the power of the military belonged in the hands of the civilian government. two weeks after that, the treaty of paris is ratified in this room. the event which ends the american revolution. it makes annapolis the first peacetime capital of the united states. in may of 1784, thomas jefferson is sent to france to join adams and franklin as the united states first appointed foreign ambassador. we are on the verge of restoring this room back to its original 18th century appearance. it's a project that's been underway since 2006 when we began chasing a moisture infiltration issue in the rear corner of the room. there was a tremendous amount of 18th century evidence that no one realized survived in the dismantling of this room. we're about to begin the physical restoration of this base. evidence of door trims and moldings and original paints and the only space which survived the restoration, the p
