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

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

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

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

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

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 of secures the radical he of the statue when it was commissioned. -- 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. f

[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
