we had an award ceremony in the east room of the white house just a few weeks ago. and at that ceremony i remember one of the recipients. mrs. carl taylor from pennsylvania her husband was a marine sergeant sergeant carl taylor. he charged an enemy machine gun single-handed and knocked it out. he lost his life. but in the process the lives of several wounded marines. in the range of that machine gun were saved. after i presented her the medal. i shook hands with their two children. carl jr. he was eight years old. and kevin was for as i was about to move to the next recipient. kevin suddenly stood at attention. and saluted i found a rather difficult. to get my thoughts together for the next presentation. my fellow americans i want to end this war in a way that is worthy of the sacrifice. carl taylor and i think he would want me to end it? in a way that would increase the chances that kevin and carl. and all those children like them here and around the world. could grow up in a world where none of them would have to die and war. lawrence roberts president nixon's wor

portugal, you have east. many people would say how is that possible? because brazil is in the west and the reality is, it depends on how the pope divided the world up. this is an example of how the pope divided the world. and that's why portugal during the early period of the colonial era believed that it owned africa and everything there, including the people. and it began to colonize, which brings us now to colonization, colonization is when you establish control over indigenous people. in 1493, a year after columbus in 1982 when he sailed the ocean blue, cao founded the kingdom of congo in angola. we know so much from his writings. now, very different than what we learn in his history books but he said it was such an advanced civilization, he said they lived in cities much like the cities that were existing in portugal at the time. they had a form of government. they were very sophisticated. they had very sophisticated languages, which i happen to find very interesting because my first appearance was africans, i'm sure many of you were the same was

river that, you know, hides his men shuttling across the east river. yeah. weather, you know, it's amazing and you really see where many of the men who participated in this, including washington, attribute some of their victories to divine providence and it's hard reading the actual events. and seeing that. and saying in -- in arguing against that. and i think it was stonewall jackson who said in a different war, he who does not see the hand of god in this is truly blind. and you see something similar to that with the -- with the revolution. because -- because, yeah, how did this happen? that it just so happens that it falls directly in place and helps the american cause along the way. it's hard to argue against divine providence. >> and we -- another note. i believe maybe spy john honeywell, his house still is around in grigstown, new jersey, so i don't know if that is in your book or not. >> it's not in the book but, yeah, no, i'm familiar with that so it's great. >> cool. so we have -- we have a question and feel -- feel free, again, to drop questio

also notice there's an east branch and west branch. brandy one is actually formed from these two branches. that's important because of the way the british are going to get around the american flag. sullivan is the right flank of the army on the morning of the battle. the book of the division, oh but to regiments, there are britons forward. they're responsible for watching this crossing. it's about a mile north of chad's forward, for the rest of the army, almost half of, it is stacked up around chad's forward. he's also got, though, responsibility for the tory forwards farther to the north. or the right of the american line. this is david hall, the colonel of the delaware regiment. about 200, maybe 250 troops at touch from sullivan, watching jones is forward. they are a good mile, maybe mile and a half aboard -- the next two forwards to the north are being watched by the french comedians i talked about. under the command of colonel moses hastily. about 300 of these guys and they are split with 150 at two different forwards. sullivan als

they're going to swing east and try to wheel back up onto birmingham hill. they're basically doing a giant u-turn. super complicated for veteran troops. overly complicated for these guys. they're literally in the middle of that maneuver when the british assault starts. under brigadier edward matthew, they'll slam into sullivan's division before they can get into position to fight. they're literally wheeling up on the hill when this takes place. a couple quotes on this. this is sir george osborne, the grenadier officer of the brigade of guards, we attacked the left flank of the rebel army and raining upon the brigades of sullivan where it would have been scarcery possible for them to resist. we saved much loss we might otherwise have sustained and certainly made the enemy first give way. this is colonel john stone that i think is commanding one of the brigades. he said i wheeled off but had not reached the ground before we were attacked on all quarters, and by wheeling to the left it doubled our division on the brig grade immediately in the rear of the other.

there's a east and a west branch. the brandywine was formed from the two branches. that's important because of the way british will get around the american flank but sullivan is the right flank on the morning of the battle. bulk of the division all but two regimen are responsible for crossing at brandywine. mile north, where almost the rest of the army is basically stacked around chad's ford. he's also got responsibility for the three fords farther to the north or right of the american line. this is colonel david hall, the colonel of the delaware regimen. about 280, 250 troops. that from sullivan watching jones's fort a good mile and half above the fort and the french canadas are under the french canadians are under the command of -- it they're split. sullivan has a two-gun artillery battle with him. look at the position he's responsible for. he's the right flank in the army. he's spread out over between five and six miles from where moses hayes guys are at buffington ford back to britain ford there's a very long front he's watching and only has 1800 troops total. o

i think we miss a lot when we use a white-black binary because in the case of east st. louis which happens a little bit earlier, but also we see it in chicago, white women are just as involved. and they're just as violent. and they're just as engaged in making -- leaving their stamp in this white-black battle. and so if we look at these riots through the lens of gender, my students get very uncomfortable. that's not lady-like. i thought these girls were in jazz clubs getting lit. but, no, they are very involved. women are very, very powerful in the klan and other white supremacist organizations. i mean, the klan isn't the worst really. it just isn't. my favorite is the national association for the advancement of white people, which is a real thing. it comes later but it's a real thing. and so women -- children are involved in this fighting. older people are involved in this fighting. it's a neighborhood brawl -- >> if you're gathering a mob in mississippi it's going to be a different mob than you gather in chicago. as i mentioned in the book they did a really precise dr

it is more specific, and we miss a lot when we are using white-black binary, because in the case of east st. louis which happens earlier, but also we see it in chicago, white women are just as involved and just as violent and just as engaged in leaving their stamp in this white/black battle. so if we are looking at the riots through the lenses of gender, my students get uncomfortable, and that is not lady-like. i thought that these girls were in jazz clubs getting lit. no, they are involved. women are very, very powerful in the klan which gets the resurgence at this time, and other white supremist organization, and the klan is not even really the worst really. my favorite is the national association for the advancement of white people, and it comes later, but it is a real thing. and women, and children are involved in this fighting. older people are involved in this fighting. it is a neighborhood brawl certainly in chicago. >> if you are involved in a brawl in vicksburg, mississippi, it is a different mob than what you will gather in chicago. in my book, i investigated this and we did a

if i tell you that i grew up out pennsylvania avenue south and east across the anacostia river, you will understand that it's far from inevitable my being before you. it's an incredibly improbable journey and i'm really glad to be here, it took a lot of help to get me here and many of the people who helped me are in this room today and i am grateful to you. okay. so the truth is that the origins of this lecture date back to my time at the university of texas when i was beginning as a law professor and i was writing a paper that touched on brown and i wanted to cite this document the southern manifesto for the proposition that it was openly and virulently racist and it was a naked racism, an unsubtle racism. i went and i got a copy of the southern manifesto and i read it once and i read it twice and it did not say what i thought it said. so i thought maybe there's really something to this project and i'm going to take it up so i'm very grateful to the supreme court historical society for inviting me to talk about this document that's largelien forgotten today, being here is a true honor f
