some suggestions are possibilities -- harriet tubman, harriet beecher stowe and other women's rights activists. other suggestions? more fanciful. but this race is as wide open as the republican primary. a woman on the 10 spot. who you got? mark: there are a lot of great choices and this is a fantastic development for the country. i say eleanor roosevelt. may be controversial, but she is a historic figure and leader in her own right. and she stands for a lot of great american values that will long be part of the american tradition. she emphasized and amplified others. john: i am interested in a two-fer. i want to get a woman on the 10 spot and an african-american on currency. harry tubman is the favorite to a lot of people. she is great, but i want to go also for modernity. so i'm picking rosa parks, the woman who would not give up the seat on the bus. i think it would be awfully great to see her on a $10 bill. mark: that is a great choice. and i have got to say, you know, this is the kind of thing that you think in this country long overdue. amazing it has not happened before. at fan

if you look at the appendix of uncle tom's cabin harriet beecher stowe at the end of the book says here's where we are going to send them. liberia, the caribbean. if you listen to linkin up until 1864 he sent the whole team down to panama to investigate where we can send them. there is virtually nobody of significance in the united states who believes that blacks and whites can live together in the same society peaceably. >> let's discuss another one of those intolerable speakers you are in in new york and i want to ask about this. as an epilogue to the ratification story and the idea that new york would secede from the union including hamilton's new york seceding from the region and the new york city resume will secede from new york via. >> i love that. isn't that great sex should we go to jersey or should we go to connecticut? >> you want to talk about that? >> the new york ratification convention is dominated by the the -- because george clinton and many time elected governor has the kingdom in new york that is his baby weight. they are collecting tariff duties on imports from new jers

one had a son that would beecher and steal from her to pay for his drug addiction but yet he was flabbergasted and could not understand how that could be. that night he kept asking questions i said the pastor is coming by to kernite you can keep asking so he came back and spent a number of hours arguing with the pastor and my father is a very intelligent man and as a mathematician and computer programmer and he argued and was convinced he could prove with and finally my father said what about the man into that was never heard of jesus? the pastor did not take the bait but said i don't know about that man the you have. what is your excuse? was in he said that hit him like a sledgehammer he fell to his knees in the caver christian and asked jesus to save him and transformed him he drove to the airport and flew back to my mother and me. >> do you remember that moment? >> i don't. i was three years old for i know the story because my parents told me. i can only assume during that time when the there was probably drinking even more but i have no recollection myself but when they came back to gather

henry ward beecher had been running guns to the antislavery forces in kansas. he was a leading religious figure in the country like billy graham. he steps up and asks for mercy for the rebels. garrett smith, another patient -- person against harpers ferry he stands up and ask for mercy. for his gravy, hardliner who criticize lincoln headed the list of men who supply to the bill bond for jefferson davis. you might surmise that some of this clemency came from people seeking to absolve themselves of past sins, but frankly i have seen no guilt expressed. i think there was something more at work. we tend to place historical actors into boxes abolitionists, woman's right advocate, and so on. rarely, duly consider how people spend those boxes, how they can be abolitionists and reformers in general who want to improve society. many of these people, and this startled me, have been part of the movement to end capital punishment in the country. that movement is more successful than this today. they believe in creating more benevolent and civilized nation. they said the de

beecher had helped introduce him to cooper union five years earlier and had been sometimes a supporter or sometimes a critic. now, he writes, lincoln may well be another jackson. having suffered for four years, he is now entitled to four years of teeth. how do we take the last full measure of the press reports on abraham lincoln and the civil war? we take it with the proverbial historical grain of salt. a lot of the reports are written through the filter of partisan politics. a lot of it is constrained by censorship and prohibited by the fear that is it may be interpreted by eight and comfort to the enemy. i love the fact that after the assassination, the three rival new york dailies spoke with one voice. they finally found something that they could agree about, and it was the assassination. you can be absolutely sure, i miss the rivalries that had existed for so long, within one week of the funeral, they return to the practice of assassinating one another. that is one of the great lessons of civil war journalism that i have enjoyed sharing with you this morning. thank you.

a clipping of a wonderful speech by henry ward each other -- beecher. that speech helped introduce him to cooper union years earlier. "lincoln may well be another jackson. having suffered for four years, he is now entitled to years of peace. " how do we take the last full measure of the press reports on abraham lincoln? i think we take it with a proverbial and historical grain of salt. the articles are written under the filter of artisan politics. a lot of it is inhibited either fear that a scoop might be interpreted as aid and comfort to the enemy. i love the fact that, after the assassination, the three rival new york dailies spoke with one voice. they finally found something they could agree about. you can be absolutely sure amidst the rivalry that had existed for so long, within a week of the funeral they exuberantly returned to the long-held practice. thank you.
