what about the union naval base? and how would the union indemnify the confederate states for the confederate slaves that had escaped? imagine yourself being one of the negotiators on either side. in my own opinion, i do not think they ever would have agreed on anything. [laughter] >> they still can't. [laughter] >> i think if that had happened, that horrorshow, there would be some movement that they would be the southern united states and the union would be the northern united states, but they would be two separate countries. effectively, we would've had a third world country right at our doorstep, because the confederacy had very little infrastructure. they just were not able to take care of themselves. i don't know if they ever could have decided anything about slavery. there was still the west. maybe escaped slaves or people who were afraid of being put back into slavery could simply have gone west. the chances of a western union might have come along as well. west virginia, i'm pretty sure, would have stayed wit

because the entire western part of the state was occupied by the union army. people know that west virginia used to be part of virginia, but they also don't know why they were able to become a separate state. one reason was the union army occupied that land. if rosecrans had done nothing else, if he had just done his service and then died or resigned, he would be an important but minor figure of the war. he was replaced in west virginia by john c fremont. fremont was the first republican nominee for president in 1856. he had been in missouri in 1861. he was an ardent abolitionist, as far as generals went. he was always popular with the more radical element of the republican party, and i don't think it is stretching it to say it was a political dimension to him replacing rosecrans. he had voted for stephen a douglas. so where does rosecrans go? he goes to northeastern mississippi. he fights first under henry hallock and when hallock comes to washington, he fights under ulysses s. grant. two battles. the second was the battle of corin. these are in northeast mis

the union armies have to conquer the south. they have to eradicate those men who have come to power in the confederate government. they have to get them out of power. on the confederate side, if lee, davis, joe johnson out west can prolong this war and bring home victories, they can essentially win by a draw. the democratic peace party takes power, and by 1865 the confederacy can be an independent nation in itself. the confederates in 1864 have very high expectations. the georgian journal wrote in 1864 that the print -- the spirit of officers and men .21 result, and that is success. the texas officer wrote that on the eve of the campaign if the people at home could only see the spirit of this army, i am confident confederate currency would appreciate the value and be worth as much as gold. it is high hopes the people have in the south. yes, they had setbacks. they lost chattanooga, which would be a fantastic jumping off point in 1864. then we have the setback at gettysburg. the south is still holding its own. lee's army is stil

the union soon after she migrated to the city. she initially participated out of curiosity after hearing her pay would increase. she was soon promoted to leader, due to her caring personality and educational background. unlike most other workers, she graduated from junior high school. panna lives five minutes from the factory with her husband ho polin. her husband, who works at the same factually, also earns less now. the couple came to phnom penh three years ago with dreams of earning enough money to send their daughter to college. they asked their parents to care for their child in fields back home. before the strikes, they sent money back home every month. but now they can only send money once every few months. as for their child's schooling, they can't even afford very basic necessities. >> while filming, we received reports of a sit november by workers at a factory in suburban phnom penh. we were notified by the union that had actively led strikes in the past. a month earlier, a fire broke out and gutted the factory. all the

the slaves in the union army. so 180,000 to 200,000 black soldiers emerge in union army the last years of the war, very significant to the conduct of the war. host of them are freed slaves who left the south, donned blue uniforms and returned. very, very key. >> did they not get the freedom and till the 13th and then it passed? >> yes, that's right. until the 13th amendment passed. >> did you notice in your research if lincoln thought about, or anybody, when the slaves were free, they didn't have education. they had a certain lifestyle which was horrible. now they're free. how are they going to come up to speed with the rest of the population? was there education process of? people could always write stories they couldn't read, they weren't allowed to read. is or something like that on a more personal thing, that person, that man or woman or child? >> i don't detect anything in lincoln's mind about it, but, of course, it's hard to not list off the horrors of slavery, which there was a multitude of them. but yes, t

there are a lot of meetings about the union square and the quality of life and the crime issues and things like that, and since i have been at central, i primarily only have one beat officer on the day history shift and so i got the word that the chief increased the staffing and gives me a great opportunity to have the five officers and one that will take care and one that will be opposite of the officer, and so seven days a week in the daytime we will have an officer walking in the union square and four officers at night and two at any given time and when they first come on, they are going to take care of the union square or the grant avenue, or when the stores close they are going to be in the area mentioned tonight and they will be on geary and suter and on

the assaults the union army makes in 1862. what they have done over the course of 1862, they managed to plug all of the rivers that lead into the rivers that lead into the sounds. there is one vulnerability that the federal situation had. the federal dispositions in the sounds of north carolina. no ocean going iron clad can get in. they all have too deep of a draft. they cannot get over and through the barrier islands into the sounds of north carolina. what is left to guard them? plug up the confederates? paddles made out of wood. that is a good prospect of success. now the confederate army realizes the experience of north carolina because the army in virginia draws a lot of supplies from eastern north carolina. any force in eastern north carolina threatens that line of communication. they want to watch a counter offensive in the spring before the main fighting starts which is expected to start in may. the commander in the area. they coordinate the place he picks that is one of the largest with 7,000 men in plymouth. in mid-ap

civil war, the union and the confederacy. your question was about habeas corpus and whether his practice as a lawyer influenced that decision. >> [inaudible] >> right. sure. lincoln'snow if practice as a lawyer prepared him necessarily for that specific issue. i will briefly summarize. tooote the book about this, . at the beginning of the civil war, secession was on the move. seven states had already seceded before lincoln even became president. in april 1861, the upper south seceded. and maryland was on the verge of secession, so lincoln thought. lincoln looked at this situation and thought, i cannot allow maryland to secede because if they do, the national capital will be surrounded by an enemy nation. so lincoln center private letter to his commanding general, to suspend scott habeas corpus along the military line between philadelphia and washington, d.c. he eventually expanded it to new york and even beyond. was that thent military could arrest civilians and detain them indefinitely without charges, as long as public safe

it got to the point by 1863 that the union, u.s. military railroad construction crews, could rebuild track about as fast as the confederates could tear it up. and about 10,000 of these people on these construction, there were about 10,000 of these people in the construction crews and a large proportion were freedmen, ex-slaves. one of herman haupt's most remarkable accomplishments came in 1862 when he was called upon to rebuild a bridge behind mcdowell's corps during the peninsula campaign. what haupt did, the bridge was completely destroyed by the confederates. haupt showed up, he built a saw mill n site, and that saw cut 34,760 linal feet of timber and working largely with unskilled men haupt built that bridge in nine days. president lincoln came out to see it. when he went back to washington he said that man haupt has built a bridge across potomac creek about 400 feet long and nearly 100 feet high over which loaded trains are running every hour and upon my word, gentlemen, there is nothing in it but bean poles and corn talks. nin

the union is backing the union for governor. >> i work for a union, i understand we all understand, but it's an inconvenience, you know. >> and inconvenience for a lot of people, the talks have broken off here for the day and both sides say they will be back at the bargaining table tomorrow morning and the union sending strong signals that it is indeed getting ready for a strike. david henry, channel 6 "action news". >>> okay david thank you. we are following a developing story out of wichita canada at least four people are dead after a small plane crashed into a building, look at the video from earlier. king air crash nood a building shortly before noon today. the building is used by flight safety international to train pilots to fly cessna planes only the pilot was on board at the time of the crash and it's not clear how many people were inside of the building that is located at the wichita mid continent airport. >> it was horrific, there was heavy smoke on the horizon as you approached the airport for miles, a challenging fire as you might imagine, it appears that the aircraft struck

the total casualties of the confederates versus the union -- the union took far more casualties. can you argue that the railroad system itself contributed heavily towards that or is that not a correlation? >> it does contribute in a way. one argument you can make is that the armies were to so tied to the railroads, it made decisive maneuver difficult. if the other army had rail supply, chances are it could be reinforced. it is my contention that the existence of the railroad helped make the civil war last as long as it did. in that sense, what it added to the casualties. >> the union side had more casualties than the confederates. that is what i am asking. >> the biggest difference is union forces are on the offensive through most of the war. it is the axiom of the war that the guy on the offensive will take more casualties. i would suspect the railroads themselves explain those differences. yes, sir? >> have you read or heard anything about that sometime before world war ii, rush wrote change the railroad change to retard invasions? >> that is commonplace and not true either. th

for the perpetuity of the union. some of the most interesting discussion occurred in the press, particularly in washington and georgetown. alexandria, which also had a newspaper, was less interested. many alexandrians having come to the conclusion long by retro session in 1836 that their inclusion in the distribute of colu -- district of columbia had been an sass ter. the day after fisk released it, the national intelligence, there could not be a majority in the house that would vote for such a bill. if there were, quote, we well know there will always be one-third of congress firm enough to support the excessive tiff in refusing his signature to allow fraud in such dangerous circumstances, unquote. three days later the editors reported they had received many communications from the public regarding removal but would only print two of these until congress finished the debate. the first of these signed "justice" focused on the his and location -- the history of the location and development of washingt washington. the

i don't have to join the union, but i have to fund the union. so i'm not a union member, i'm a union funder. which i think was very clever on their part because it's really hard for the public to understand. many people look at me and say what's your complaint, you can opt-out and they don't understand, i truly cannot opt-out of all of the political collective bargaining going on there. so, abroad is the reason that we are all in this situation and our lawsuit seeks to overturn abroad. >> and if i could just speak to that free lowered question, i know something robert mentioned, but it's funny to call someone a free lowered when you've, you know, you force them onto the bus, you have made them sit there you are not letting them leave and then saying, oh, and pay your bus fare. these people have no desire to be part of your organization and in no other place i can think of in society is another organization able to force someone who is not interested and make them pay for something they aren't interested in. if a magazine company did what a union

to restore the union. and so, i'm paraphrasing here, but lincoln essentially said, i've got do what i can between election day and inauguration next march to restore the union. i'll work with the president-elect. and he took this little memorandum and folded it up and sealed it and brought it to a cabinet meeting. he had all of his cabinet members sign it. they don't know what they were signing but lincoln was forcing them to sign on to winning the war and restoring the union with the president-elect. well, lincoln ended up winning and later at a cabinet meeting he opened up this thing and showed the cabinet officers who they signed on to and they had a little bit after lauof a laugh . but it gives you a sense that election was unsure. i want to capture a sense of what election looked like for mer keehns and in particular for new yorkers in the months leading up teet location. today is july 30, 2014. i almost said 1864. i want to look back at what workers were thinking about on july 30, 18664. so last week

restore the union. i'm paraphrasing, but lincoln said i've got to do what i can between election day and the inauguration day. i will work with the president electri elect. he put this in an envelope and sealed it. he had all his cabinet members to sign it. they didn't know what they were signing. but they were signing -- lincoln ended up winning and at a later cabinet meeting, he opened this thing up and showed all the cabinet members what they had signed on to and they had a little bit of a laugh about it. but it gives you a sense that the election was unsure. so i want to capture a sense of what the election looked like for americans and particularly for new yorkers in the months leading up to the election. today is july 30th 2013. i almost said 1864. i want to go back to what new yorkers were thinking about on jew july 30th, 1864. i looked a at the newspapers from this day 150 years ago to see what new yorkers were reading about in the papers. here's a little bit of a sense. if you opened up a new y

time and again, the union tried to capture the fort, but the defenders wouldn't give up. the turning point finally came on july 18, 1863, when union forces attacked fort wagner on nearby morris island. >> and the 54th massachusetts regiment leads this attack. now, the 54th massachusetts was untried in battle. they're an all-black regiment that was raised up in boston. >> it takes seven attempts, but the union finally dislodges the defenders. from fort wagner, they battered the rebs into submission. >> they bombarded fort sumter for 22 months, beginning in 1863 and ending in february 1865, so it's the longest siege during the civil war, the longest siege in u.s. military history, and they bombarded fort sumter so heavily from that point that they completely shot away the top two levels of the fort during that time. and this is all the damage that was inflicted on the walls between 1863 and 1865 by the u.s. army while the confederate army was here. wherever you see pockmarks in the wall, that's where projectiles would have bounced off the walls. you'll see some huge, gaping

of the largest nurses union in the u.s. the united nations continues to warn of a worsening crisis for iraqi civilians displaced by isis advances in iraq. a spokesperson said that 180,000 people had fled one town. >> after the capture of the town over the weekend, we estimate that 180,000 people have fled from that town. this is located just 180 kilometers from baghdad. the city's residents are mostly sunni but it was also home -- refuge to a large number of displaced people who fled there from other parts of and bar province. it is an absolute tragedy to see these people uprooted and the iraq that was once home to such people beingy of segregated and pushed away and lumped together. >> on tuesday, president obama fromith governor ministers various nations. peeking at andrews air force base, he said the defensive -- offensive against isis will be a long one. >> one thing that has emerged from discussions both before i came in during my visit here, is that this will be a long-term campaign. there are not which fixes involved

that this would be the end of the war on the union side. and they thought, okay, we're going to move on and the war will be over. but rose after junking jumping into bed and gathering the requisite information summoned a 16-year-old courier to her home named betty duval and she sat her down and she said she would cipher a note. and she ties of this note and rolls it up into betty's hair and gives her a dress. i have so many dispatches and my hair right now. [laughter] she's leaving you in a very important mission. [laughter] >> so she says pretend you are a simple farm girl and sure enough that he passes along and they say oh, what a pretty girl. and she goes to the headquarters and lets down her luxurious native hair and they have very important information that aided them. so after this you can imagine the detective, allan pinkerton, he was on the case with rose o'neal greenhow and she becomes public enemy number one. >> one of the things that you do have is all of these other characters and elements from that time that enter into the his

(clapping.) >> good evening, commissioners president fewer and superintendent carranza my name is yvonne and i'm the president of the local i'm here on behalf of the my members vernon has been a good employee that worked for a number of years for the san francisco unified school district does not have a blemish in his evaluations he's placed by the rules he was simply told he was going to be laid off because he didn't fit in the restructuring of the plan for human resources given to him lift ev'ry voice and sing by his director in human resources you see when

of the union. subservient to that mission. the writing is clear. he linked the two. the american idea started not with the constitution which was slavery protecting of course but the declaration of independence, that is an argument, we could have an argument today, declaration of independence is not a legal document. it was a rebellious tracked. was a statement of revolution. and he and many of his legal advisers believe the origin point of the nation was the declaration of independence, not the constitution. interesting for someone to argue as a lawyer because you might say the constitution being in the document formally established the union. however to him, if you went back to the origin point and freeze from jefferson's can of all men are created equal, attach the end of slavery as an aspect of the national idea, you all know that we are unique in world history in the we go to our identity around a national idea. at the same time people in the confederacy would have argued all men are created e

the union had been starving them of supplies with the blockade. hence, the smuggling business we discussed earlier. and it was sort of the idea that these people were so brutal, and there was a little bit of truth to it. there were some women wearing confederate -- excuse me, yankee jewelry, but it was all exaggerated mostly, and each side sort of played for the best effect and also was also constantly in mind of what europe was thinking as europe, watching the newspapers, and they were very carefully. so that was always in the back of their minds too. >> so interesting. do we have any, do we have any other questions? no? >> [inaudible] >> okay, yes. glenn? >> the memoirs that you read, which for whatever reason had the most influence on you? >> oh, influence. >> which one had the most influence, yeah. >> i don't know about influence -- >> or you town that -- found that you, i don't know, had the most impact any way or the other. >> i really appreciated the memoir when she went to europe to lobby for the confederacy, she wrote quite a bit about he

the unions corrupt, the state establishment is corrupt. and he scared the bajesus out of them. they're not good friends with pat quinn, though he's a democrat because pat quinn has crossed them on a number of issues. but they are energized. and pat quinn is competitive, though bruce ronner has put 40, $50 million into the race, and he's still in it because of the unions, and because they have come together and created these pacts and they have helped pat quinn be exceptive on the money front. in the end, we're looking at $60 million is being spent in illinois, and the union contributions are strong in that area. >> patsy, the one guy, chad quinn, this is the case in a couple of states where the main parties are virtually tied, or tied within the margin of error and then getting 5, 6, 7% depending on the poll for a third party candidate. and can they make a difference in some of these things? >> without a doubt. the third party candidates are throwing wrenches into a lot of senate races. particularly in georgia, and a number of gubernatoria

if they don't receive the health care through the union, why be in the union? martha: that is good point. thank you, stuart. bill: real story behind monica lewinsky and whitewater and a whole lot more. the clinton presidential library set to dump important documents on embattled times of the clinton white house. martha: the white house appears to get wrapped up in another thing that has the scandal word attached to it. was the secret service told to cover up on an investigation on agents going wild in cartagena until after the election? may. but there is a better choice. drink more water, filtered by brita. clean, refreshing, nothing is better. martha: just hours from now some of the most headline-grabbing controversies of the clinton era will be laid bare for the world to see. the clinton library will be releasing 10,000 documents, and today we'll get material for the first time about the most infamous controversy of all. hmm, what could that be, you wonder? welcome, everybody, brand new hour of "america's newsroom." hello, bill. bill: hi, martha. martha: i'm

the css alabama, 64 union merchant ships and one union gunboat off the coast of texas, 65, which sets a world record. the css shenandoah with 37. css florida has 38. until the 20th century, those records will stand. among americans, u.s. and confederate sailors, those records stand even today because the top scoring american submarine ace sank 24 ships. these records still stand among the american and confederate navies. this success panics the north. drives up insurance prices, drives up the cost of shipping, pressures the northern war effort but not to the extent that the confederate navy would like, but it certainly has an effect. one of the easy things that most of the union merchant men do, they sell their ships, trade their papers to a neutral country. we may have all-american crew, all guys who talk with a boston accent -- that is a british flag we are flying. we are registered in london. you can't touch us. that works only to a certain extent. the alabama, the most successful under the command of raphael sims, the alabama operates in in may of 1862, operating in the north atla

both forts fall to the union. port for thele confederacy east of the mississippi river on the gulf off and willclosed remain closed off for the rest of the war. but there's another effectiveness as well. fredericksburg native is the command of the post of mobile and he and 10,000 men are forced to sit in mobile for the rest of the war, almost completely the rest of the war until they are forced out in the spring of 1865 , guarding against any possible federal incursion northward into the heart of the confederacy. these troops sit here. they are badly missed and badly needed on other battlefronts. are a these effects direct or indirect result of the fact that took buchanan could not keep his head when he was under the guns of fort morgan and put the helm of the tennessee northward against farragut's fleet. the human factor making the difference. let us come back and conclude with where we started, the sounds of north carolina. i have not talked about a human element yet for the sounds of north carolina. cushing.t w

the union has set a friday deadline. nbc 10 jesse gary is live at the frankford transportation center and, jesse y know you have been talking to commuters. they must be nervous. >> that's right, tracy. many people behind me headed to work and they're worried that their trip to and from work will get more complicated. union officials will continue negotiating and then make a decision on what to do at the end of the week. the authority and its largest union are in a stalemate over pension reform. septa wants to scrap the pension in favor of 401(k) and the union wants to revamp the current benefits. the month-old stalemate has some commuters this morning making a plea to both sides. >> reach an agreement real soon. real soon. this economy is bad and i can't be able to afford, got to get back to work and we accept them. >> union leadership promises 24-hour notice before a strike and response septa released a statement saying in part, we hope to continue meeting with the union to negotiate a new contract, but our pleas that t

they both say the union wants cadets to quit but the union denies it and calls the accusation politics. the san jose police academy is the focus of the department's recruiting effort and where some say that effort is undermine. a former recruit wrote an article saying union president told cadets to quit during orientation. he never said quit but insist he encouraged recruits to leave to strengthen the union's pension fight with the city. another man referred to us backed up the claim. he asked we not show his face and disguise his voice. we verified he was a cadet present at the

at the start of the race they're heading off to the marina who is left behind like union square are there a lot of people don't your music continue to play. >> once the last runner stops we have to open the road and the last republicer is about finishing in 7:30ishes so from the first to last runner as soon as the last runner we're out of this quickly. >> commissioner foster. >> thank you for flipping the start that's going to be huge like you said the hotel you're filing i don't know the manager is going to be calling to claim but flipping it will make a huge it was. >> all right. i'm going to take public comment thank you so much for being here to answer our questions is there any public comment? please head towards the microphone. >> i'm a resident of pow street approximately 16 hundred feet from where the spooeshgz speakers were located it started at 440 music it of the interim music until 10 minutes past 5 then continuous i think all the residents imperfect understand the logic we shouldn't deny a permit we should allow people to use the loudspeaker there's no reason to have lo

and hold the line. now looks them turned to face the union troops. [laughter] he has arrived here it's very steep but on top of this is flat. it was an unorthodox the textbook move that they would have taught at west point was to move forward at the northern edge of henry hill bohai ground to look down the slope to the bike but instead jackson chose the south eastern edge the reverse flow. but here even though the top of the hill was flat on this side it was thick with braintree's the was under siege by the federal cannons. and then be carried back to safety on the slope they would be hard to see to offer a wide and unobstructed feel the fire those on this side of henry hill have to cross 300 yards is very proximate. zero raging up and down the line is putting them into place. around this time the federal high command finally figured out the battle was not in front in them but behind them kasell quite a long time to figure this out. but as soon as they did they grasped the brilliance of his position and immediately began to build the battle around hi

the union merged into another entity. but by that time, the causes that the porters were working on -- basic labor rights and working conditions -- had really magnified itself into civil rights, the greater civil rights movement. and what you saw coming out of the 1960's really kind of transformed into a lot of the labor union activity at the time. i almost can't imagine, what would it be like to work a sleeping car, at full capacity, 25, 30 people constantly demanding from you, 24 hours a day, and you have to be on your game every single minute. to have 200-some rules that you know, the moment you step one side of the line or the other, you could lose your job over that. to know that because of the racial situation involved, if a passenger makes a complaint about you, the passenger is probably going to get believed over your side of the story. and yet, to go home after a trip, and realize that you brought home a wage, and you brought home tips, which in some cases are pretty good, and to be able to hang your uniform, a u

. >> reporter: well, jim, the union and septa will be back to the bargaining table tomorrow. they sill a strike is not imminei imminent but could be called by the end of the week. >>> the threat brings anxiety to riders. septa and the union are not any closer to striking a deal than two states on either sigh of the country. the president of local 234 said during a news conference the main sticking point is the pension. >> we can't live on that anymore. our members put three time as much into the pension as management, man aagement gets three times as much out. >> reporter: the union says it will give a 24 hour notice before walking off the job. >>> >> reporter: dorian smalls just learned of the potential strike as he headed home on the subway tonight after shopping for costumes. with his niece and nephew, he views the strike as more trick than treat. >> that would be shady. it would definitely be more of a trick. >> others say the union threatens to walk out if negotiations continue to sour. >> they have a right to fight for what they want. . >> reporter: the union has been w

. >>> septa officials will meet with the transport workers union to try to avoid the strike. both sides are said to be far apart. jesse gary is live at the frankfort transportation center. septa executives reaction to the looming work stoppage. tell us more about that. >> that's right. executives with the authority say this impact comes down to changing times and the union's inability or unwillingness to accept a certain level of change. the major sticking points here in this impas, pension reform with septa wanting to move towards a 401(k) and union members of tw 234 wanting to reform the current pension system. failure to meet a compromise would mean a work stoppage. >> our members put three times as much into the pension as management. management gets three times as much out as our members. we can't live on that any more. >> union leadership promises a 24-hour notice before a work stoppage and in response to that septa released a statement saying we hope to continue meeting with the union to negotiate a new contract, but we're pleased that twu 234 has agreed. action from r
