washington did not. masonms to us that george 's behavior towards george washington was always tinged by that, not condescension, but presumption of superior knowledge and in the light. thought, we think, is what happened in philadelphia. ehere must've been som interview between the two of them in terms of mason's opposition to the constitution that turned nasty, that made washington feel stupid. he could be quite touchy about this. mrs. heidler: we all can. [laughter] mr. heidler: yes. not something unique to washington. he said he was too stupid to understand them, yet perfectly capable of understanding what the administration told him. if this could cause him to lose his temper, i think that is what george mason. he was written out of his life. he did the same thing to randolph, we think, because of the sections of dispatch number 10. mrs. heidler: as far as henry is concerned, there never really was a break between them. washington always respected him. henry, after the ratification oppose ther tried

washington's enmity. to a point all of this is understandable, predictable but regrettable, the outcome of a massive misunderstanding compounded by wounded pride. we all must admit, however, that this is the last rupture with his last virginian strange, an event that defied explanations. washington and randolph were close. they were even closer than washington had been with madison, certainly more so than washington ever had been with jefferson. washington's reaction is puzzling. even bearing in mind the normal inclination to entertain an accusation precisely it is so serious that no one would level it, washington accepted pickering's version of the communication, a man he did not trust and did not keep in his confidence, did not like. it's strange that washington would behave for the better part of two weeks as though nothing were wrong, never providing any indication that he suspected randolph of treachery. when he did begin the investigation, the inquiry that was to determine randolph's innocence or gu

washington called the work a good likeness. the mixture of the real and ideal establish the model which has been reproduced in many forms from the 18th century to the present. with regard to the model, probably one of the best-known examples would the the monumental painting of washington crossing the delaware. this familiarity obscures the radical nature of the statue when it was commissioned. when it was commissioned, there was no model for this. like the political structure, the statue, a result of collaboration between the parisian artist, thomas jefferson, who was serving as minister to france, members of the virginia general assembly, and washington himself, adapted to classical precedents to suit american cased and helped shape a national iconography. we should note the agent references are reiterated by the placement in a temple like setting. albeit, a temple of liberty, as jefferson described it rather than one dedicated to a god or emperor. whoops. following his death in 1790 nine, his likeness became an object of ven

the man who made washington's uniform, the father of a slave who runs away from washington. this is the true story of american history that is so much better than any novel could be. these are the fascinating threads i tried to find and weave through the stories i have told in my book. as i was mentioning, the feeling that i get here, the palpable feeling of being in a place where washington stood and henry knox stood with him, really does connect to that personal history. for all too many people, i hear it all the time, it is so boring. a lot of dates. but history is about what real people do. walt whitman, somber poet of the civil war, who served as a volunteer nurse, once said the real war will never get in the books. and i have had that in my mind for many years, and certainly as i wrote "the hidden history of america at war." these are the stories about real people. this is the real war getting in the books. the story in "the hidden history of america at war" is the story of who fights our battles, who goes to war for us, and why we go to war. those are questions we sho

if you know newport, you know here is washington. washington square. here are some images of uniforms of french forces. and why do you know these right away? french forces, french regiments as a rule have white uniforms. this is blue, bavarian blue and it translates as two ridges. it's a german-speaking regiment that is coming with rochambeau. the reason this regiment is chosen, rochambeau knew a number of men would die, would be discharged, and the idea was we .ould simply recruit hessians the hessians speak german already. they know the drill. .ransfer men it did not work, by the way. [laughter] there was a recruiting station in philadelphia by the time they get to new work. -- by the time they get to newport, more than half of them had deserted again with the enlistment bonus. here is the legion. a combined unit of 600 men, 300 grenadier's, 300 artillery, hundred fusiliers. they are off castle hill out here, separate from the main infantry. that happened throughout the campaign. the reason for that -- the reason is what? it is the only one that i kn

sherwood, who covers politics for washington, did you talks about corruption in washington, d.c., maryland, in virginia. brian: tom sherwood, after 40 years of covering washington, d.c., when you look at, what is the biggest scandal? tom: do not think there is any doubt that the marion barry scandal that captivated people and 1990's was it. brian: do you think it is strange and all that they want to change the name of a high school to marion barry in high school and have a statute that says, mirror for life. tom: there is a camp in to get some kind of acknowledgment of im in washington, d.c. marion barry was heralded as a hero for the things he did. he was hated for the bad things. i am not surprised. mary was a big figure. four terms as mayor, for terms on the deep. see perry council. he did do it never things that he ought to be remembered. aian: because there are number of officials from butinia, not virginia maryland, who are in jail, public officials -- we wanted to kind of do an update on everything. we have some video of you interviewing someone the audience might remember because w

what is the washington-rochambeau revolutionary route? it is the story of the movements of the cardinal armie and the french. it is the story of human interaction between americans and french soldiers and civilians. in other words, it is not the story of the siege of your town. it is not the story of the victory at yorktown. wholeis no blood on this march, other than the blood of .nimals, being eaten it is a story of the deployment of forces along america's eastern seaboard from new england down to yorktown. the longest deployment we will have until -- the american war of independence did not happen just in boston, valley forge, and yorktown. there are lots of other places along the road where thousands of americans contributed to this war. 80,000 pension applications in the 1830's still that the that show you whole public, the american people as a whole, were involved in the english war. the victory of your town is the combination of contributions from france and a manifestation of the global character of that war because that is somethi

washington came from a different era. washington grew up in a. and everybody had sliced the everybody had slaves. they were slaves in every country in the world. there were slaves in europe or tara had always been slaves. they were slaves in every state. every member, every person who signed the declaration of independence, except john adams, had owned a slave a least one time. he could not imagine a world without slaves. during the revolution many people were pulling on him. there was a movement against slavery, and so people like some of his aides like henry lawrence of south carolina, or most critically, lafayette of france, or hamilton of new york were saying no, slavery has to end and you should be a leader of it. he didn't go that far. and he kept his own slaves. of course, many of the slaves were owned i his wife but he was always called by this desire that this is not a trend of the future. ben franklin of course had switched. he owns place we need was younger. he became a leader abolitionist, ben franklin. people can change. on his death

it was certainly a band of brothers washington that's washington's phrase. but he pulled out glasses and read and said i had blind in service and not only gone blind in the service of history because i've been reading too many archive l notes but it begins, preface begins on a chilly spring morning in april of 2014 as i sat own mount vernon plaza watching the sun rise slowly over the potomac river. the window off george washington's upstairs bedroom was over my right shoulder. west facing down on the first floor office stood directly behind me. washington would have seen much the same view 225 years earlier. knowing might be a long time before he observed it again prepares to leave for the seat of government in new york on -- april 16, 1789 due to preservation effort this is vista, one that washington most loved and build to fame survived virtually unchanged in midst of the urban stroll at the fred w. smith library for the study of george washington with a resident city on growngdz of mount vernon i was able to enjoy this and other scenes on washington's pla

washington did not. it seems to us that george mason's behavior towards george washington was hinged by that sort of -- not open condensation -- condescension, but assumption of intellect. that is what we think happened in philadelphia. there must have been an interview between the two of them, in terms of mason's opposition to the constitution, that turned nasty. that washington was made to feel stupid. he can be touchy about that. jeanne: we all can. [laughter] jefferson hee told could not understand hamilton's notions, was too stupid to understand them. that was one of the rare times he lost his temper. it was telling. that caused him to lose his temper, i think that is what happened with george mason and the reason he never had another contact with him. he was written out of his life. he did the same thing to edmund randolph, we think, because of those sections. >> anything? jeanne: as far as henry is concerned, there was never a break between them. washington always respected him. henry, after the r

the general describes washington's arrival. "the french rendered him all honors," the highest military tribute in france. open -- american women also feature prominently in the narratives. "his wife appeared to be highly educated." it's these personal observations of his that are really quite striking because of how technical he was. dillon describes his encounters with women in taverns using the word -- using an old french word that i think means to aggressively flirt. "i have been told of this. i made my propositions. they were at first neither rejected or accepted. i put more effort into my requests and finally got the yes." which i think i need to occasion must be the most beautiful of words. dillon seems to try this several times. he said "i promise to try this as often as i have occasion to." the general was not immune to the appearance of american women. he wrote "we found at breakneck hill in connecticut a young country girl possessing a perfect resemblance to the queen. the agrarian lifestyle fascinated -- clean." the
