Just weeks after President Bush's overwhelming victory, we step back for a longer view. What does the president's victory mean? What are the historical parallels? What can we learn from the past that can help us understand what's ahead? These are the questions for historians Bob Woodward, author of this year's best-selling "Plan of Attack"; Ron Chernow, author of "Alexander Hamilton," another best-seller; and Joe Ellis, author of one of the most important books of the year, "His Excellency George Washington." I'll have a final word on what's gone wrong with sports. But first, the three historians on FACE THE NATION. Announcer: FACE THE NATION with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer. And now, from CBS News in Washington, Bob Schieffer. SCHIEFFER: And good morning again on this holiday weekend, when we always step back from the news of the day and try to take a longer view. From Oxford, Mississippi, this morning, Joseph Ellis; here in the studio, Bob Woodward and Ron Chernow. Professor Ellis, I want to start with you. You wrote in your book about George Washington, I think, one of the more interesting sentences that I've read in the last couple of years. And I just want to quote part of it. You say, talking about George Washington, "Benjamin Franklin was wiser, Alexander Hamilton more brilliant, John Adams better read, Thomas Jefferson, more intellectually sophisticated, James Madison more politically astute; yet," you write, "each of them acknowledged that Washington was their unquestioned superior." I'd ask you first why was that? And does that tell us something about why people choose the people we choose to be president? Professor JOSEPH ELLIS (Author, "His Excellency"): Tough question. You have to read the full book. You can't sound bite the answer to this easily. But Washington was, I say, the foundingest father of them all for reasons that had to do with qualities of judgment and qualities of leadership. And in his case, they didn't get developed in college or by reading books. They got developed in the crucible of experience and war. And from our perspective now, the credentials that Washington had that made him such a great commander in chief and then great president were not the kind of credentials that would have worked in a contemporary political campaign. In fact, Washington would have refused to run for office in a late 20th, early 21st century political culture. He would have said that anybody willing to put himself through this process is unqualified to serve. And I do think we've created a political culture up here in the present that makes it very difficult to get some of the best people to actually run for public office and certainly the kind of quality leadership that we had back there in the beginning is difficult to get through this primary process. SCHIEFFER: Well, certainly it's become a very bitter process. Now, Ron Chernow, you wrote a book that I must say I learned a lot. I mean, I now have a new appreciation for Alexander Hamilton that I simply did not have. But I want to pick up on Professor Ellis' point. And that is, this has been an extremely bitter year. And year by year we see our politics getting dirtier, nastier, more personal. But I think the one ray of hope I got in all of this was when I BURRELLE'S INFORMATION SERVICES / (202)419-1859 / (800)456-2877 Face the Nation (CBS News) - Sunday, November 28, 2004 2 read your book and I came to understand more fully that bitterness has always been a part of American politics and it probably has never been as bitter as it was when they were writing the Constitution. Yet, as a result, they got a pretty good document out of it. Is the bitterness then like the bitterness now? Is it a different kind of... Mr. RON CHERNOW (Author, "Alexander Hamilton"): Well, you know, I think that people imagine that there was some golden age of political gentility and civility and that everything has been downhill since then. After spending five years with Alexander Hamilton, I sometimes wonder if we haven't crawled up out of the mud because it was a period of the most glorious deeds and the most glorious acts, but it was also a period of the most unrivaled bitter, malicious, partisan slander imaginable. And I think that it was a case of deep, fundamental cleavages, different visions of the country then fueled to an extraordinary extent among the founders by personal animosities. As Joe has written brilliantly, these men were distinguished by tremendous rivalries and jealousies as to exactly which founder/founders were most important. SCHIEFFER: So it was bitter and it was nasty. Was it the same kind of nastiness? Did they argue about the same kinds of things that we argue about today in politics? Mr. CHERNOW: Oh, the charges were even much more acrimonious. The Jeffersonians were accusing Hamilton of plotting to restore a monarchy, of having a secret bank account in London, being in the pay of British goals, secretly speculating in Treasury securities. Hamilton--I love him, but he gave as good as he got. I mean, he--Jeffers--Hamilton said that Jefferson was a fanatic on politics and an atheist in religion. He said that Jefferson was a closet hedonist. He said that Jefferson was a pseudo-Caesar who was going to flatter the public in order to set up a despotism. Actually, I think, things were said face-to-face by these politicians that go beyond anything that one politician would dare to say to another nowadays. SCHIEFFER: Bob Woodward, you write about more recent events, and I think if anybody knows anything about the CIA, I would say you know about it--as much about it as anybody that I know. Mr. BOB WOODWARD (Author, "Plan of Attack"): But would like to know more. SCHIEFFER: Certainly, some of the rancor that we saw in those days and the rancor of this recent campaign carried over to the CIA. I mean, we saw some extraordinary events. We had during this recent campaign a person in the CIA, a CIA agent, writing a book under the name `Anonymous' which was highly critical of the administration that he was a part of. We now see some kind of a big turnover going on out there with the new director. What do you make of all this? Is--are we seeing something at the CIA we haven't seen before? Mr. WOODWARD: Well, no. What happened--the CIA made a tragic mistake on weapons of mass destruction. And when you make a mistake, it is a convulsion for not just the individuals but the institution. And they, unfortunately, have not been in the habit of being direct with the president and the war Cabinet and the public when they don't know something. On the weapons of mass destruction, the problem was they didn't have smoking-gun, ironclad evidence and they did not lead with that. And we know in our business if we try to learn in our business or the world of history--I mean, in Ron's book and Joe's book on Washington, frequently, they will say, `We don't know' or `We are never going to know.' The BURRELLE'S INFORMATION SERVICES / (202)419-1859 / (800)456-2877 Face the Nation (CBS News) - Sunday, November 28, 2004 3 CIA hates to say this, and that's what they need to say more of. And then people can make policy on intelligence that is not overstated. SCHIEFFER: Well, what's going on out there right now? You have Porter Goss, the new man that's been sent out there by the president, to--some people say he's gone too far. Some people say this is what has to be done. What's just your assessment of what's happening right now? Mr. WOODWARD: Well, what's going on--he's been given a very difficult task by history and by the president, namely, get the CIA positioned so we can penetrate terrorist cells. That is the most difficult task. If we as journalists or if historians had to penetrate terrorist cells, it wouldn't happen. And white men like us are not going to succeed at that. And so it's a five- or 10-year program. The problem Porter Goss has is he has come in and attacked the institution and the individuals in a way that has sent shock waves. And so he--you know, in a sense, he's lost the people who might save him.

    d WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON Todd Estes Thomas Jefferson is America’s most protean historical figure. His meaning is ever-changing and ever-changeable. And in the years since his death in 1826, his symbolic legacy has varied greatly. Because he was literally present at the creation of the Declaration of Independence that is forever linked with him, so many elements of subsequent American life—good and bad—have always attached to Jefferson as well. For a quarter of a century—as an undergraduate, then a graduate student, and now as a professor of early American his- tory—I have grappled with understanding Jefferson. If I have a pretty good handle on the other prominent founders and can grasp the essence of Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Adams and others (even the famously opaque Franklin), I have never been able to say the same of Jefferson. But at least I am in good company. Jefferson biographer Merrill Peterson, who spent a scholarly lifetime devoted to studying him, noted that of his contemporaries Jefferson was “the hardest to sound to the depths of being,” and conceded, famously, “It is a mortifying confession but he remains for me, finally, an impenetrable man.” This in the preface to a thousand page biography! Pe- terson’s successor as Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor at Mr. Jefferson’s University of Virginia, Peter S. Onuf, has noted the difficulty of knowing how to think about Jefferson 21 once we sift through the reams of evidence and confesses “as I always do when pressed, that I am ‘deeply conflicted.’”1 The more I read, learn, write, and teach about Jefferson, the more puzzled and conflicted I remain, too.

  • Founders H441 Syllabus
    The Founders and Their World: histories (and historians) of the new republic History 441 Spring 2014 Thursdays 1:30-4:20 Shelby Cullum Davis Center Seminar Room (G-14, Dickinson Hall) Alec Dun 137 Dickinson Hall [email protected] Office hours: Mondays, 1:30-3:30 (use WASS to schedule) Overview: This seminar allows students to dig deeply into American history during the early national period, with a particular focus on the period between 1789 and 1808. This is a vibrant and crucial timespan, one in which the ideals of the recent Revolution met the realities of statecraft, when the social institutions of British America were strained through a new national American idiom, and when many of the issues that would prove vital to subsequent American history first cropped up. To explore it, we will read and talk about a diverse array of issues, ranging from the formation of the rules governing debate in the first Congress and George Washington’s social schedule to flaps over Alexander Hamilton’s Whiskey tax and the John Jay’s Anglo-American treaty. As we go, we will assess developments such as the American reaction to the French and Haitian Revolutions and the machinations of foreign diplomats and the outbreak of a little-known naval war in the Caribbean. Through it all, we will witness the birth of partisan politics and the so-called “first party system,” figuring out the divisions and developments and marking its workings in Presidential and Congressional elections. In sum, we will steep ourselves in the political culture of the new nation.

  • Founding Fathers" in American History Dissertations
    EVOLVING OUR HEROES: AN ANALYSIS OF FOUNDERS AND "FOUNDING FATHERS" IN AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATIONS John M. Stawicki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2019 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Ruth Herndon Scott Martin © 2019 John Stawicki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This thesis studies scholarly memory of the American founders and “Founding Fathers” via inclusion in American dissertations. Using eighty-one semi-randomly and diversely selected founders as case subjects to examine and trace how individual, group, and collective founder interest evolved over time, this thesis uniquely analyzes 20th and 21st Century Revolutionary American scholarship on the founders by dividing it five distinct periods, with the most recent period coinciding with “founders chic.” Using data analysis and topic modeling, this thesis engages three primary historiographic questions: What founders are most prevalent in Revolutionary scholarship? Are social, cultural, and “from below” histories increasing? And if said histories are increasing, are the “New Founders,” individuals only recently considered vital to the era, posited by these histories outnumbering the Top Seven Founders (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine) in founder scholarship? The thesis concludes that the Top Seven Founders have always dominated founder dissertation scholarship, that social, cultural, and “from below” histories are increasing, and that social categorical and “New Founder” histories are steadily increasing as Top Seven Founder studies are slowly decreasing, trends that may shift the Revolutionary America field away from the Top Seven Founders in future years, but is not yet significantly doing so.

    Dr. Segers SEMINAR IN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY Fall 2018 21:790:408 CITIZENSHIP AND EQUALITY IN AMERICAN POLITICAL THOUGHT Tues. eve The United States was founded as a republic, to be governed by a patriotic, virtuous citizenry. But in 1776 and 1787, citizenship was restricted and political equality was circumscribed. Slaves, women, native peoples, and some religious minorities were excluded from citizenship or denied basic political rights such as the right to vote. Despite the emphasis of the Declaration of Independence on fundamental, inalienable rights, the country’s founders rationalized the denial of rights to these groups. This course examines three examples of such denial of rights. First, we consider slavery and its legacy of racial segregation and violence---a fundamental flaw in the character of the new nation. We will read Frederick Douglass’ narrative of his life as a slave in order to get a renewed sense of the cruelty and deprivation slaves faced. We shall also consider the anti-slavery reflections of the Framers and what they proposed as a solution to the dilemma of slavery. We shall see how later political leaders (presidents) such as Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson sought to mitigate the after-effects of slavery and end racial discrimination. Second, the course considers the status of women in 1776 and the long struggle for political equality and the right to vote. In addition to the suffrage movement, we will review the struggle of Second Wave Feminists who in the last 50 years used legal cases to challenge sexual discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

  • HIS 100: Introduction to Historical Methods: the World of Thomas Jefferson Fall 2010 Professor T. Slaughter Tuesday and Thursday
    HIS 100: Introduction to Historical Methods: The World of Thomas Jefferson Fall 2010 Professor T. Slaughter Tuesday and Thursday RR Library 456, 9:40-10:55. Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday 11-noon, and by appointment. 369B RR; 273-2799 [email protected] Thomas Jefferson is an ideal focus for discussions of the range of subjects that fascinated him, from gardening to food, wine, women, education, politics, philosophy, architecture, and plantation management. He provides an exquisite example of Enlightenment culture during the age of revolutions, and of a Founding Father who, as Secretary of State, Vice President, and President attempted to implement the revolutionary and constitutional principles on which the United States was founded. His private correspondence and public papers, his published writings and private musings, give access to Jefferson’s inner landscape as well as the world in which he lived. Through films, non-fiction and fiction, and primary source documents relating to case studies—The Declaration of Independence and its contrast to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense; the Burr Conspiracy; and Jefferson’s relationship with his slave Sally Hemings—we will explore historical research and interpretation, both our own and that of other historians. In particular, we will look at some of the ways that historical research can go wrong, and how historical writing is always a reflection of perspectives rather than of gathered facts, of interpretations rather than recovery, of creativity rather than objective engagement with sources. Your grades will be based on attendance; active, knowledgeable participation in class discussions; and three papers that you will re-write after the first drafts are returned to you.

    PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Fall 2018/Winter 2019 To purchase tickets by phone call (212) 485-9268 letter | exhibitions | calendar | programs | family | membership | general information Dear Friends, History Matters has long been New-York Historical’s motto, but if ever there were a time when this motto rang particularly true, it would be our launch this fall of two landmark exhibitions. The first,Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow, takes as its starting point the terrible injustice of the Supreme Court ruling in the Dred Scott case that no black person— free or enslaved—could ever be a U.S. citizen. The exhibition traces the story of African Americans’ struggle for citizenship, including not only the right to enjoy legal protections and privileges but also the right to be accepted and to feel safe. The second exhibition, Harry Potter: A History of Magic, draws on the global phenomenon of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels while dramatizing the historical context indispensable to the books’ success. Both exhibitions underscore the importance of institutions like ours, whose great repositories enable a better understanding of the past as they illuminate the present. Reflecting these exhibitions’ themes, our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series features discussions of citizenship, race, history, and law, with speakers including Eric Foner, Harold Holzer, U.S. Senator Doug Jones, Martha Jones, Randall Kennedy, Edna Greene Medford, Manisha Sinha, Brent Staples, and Sean Wilentz. The Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography features New-York Historical Trustee David Blight in conversation with Eddie Glaude Jr. on Frederick Douglass. For Harry Potter, our Schwartz Series features Jim Dale, the narrator and voice of all of the Harry Potter characters in the American audiobooks.

  • The American Founding and the Culture Wars
    The American Founding and the Culture Wars Alan Gibson California State University, Chico In March, 2003, led by Marguerite Talley-Hughes, three teachers at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in Berkeley, California spearheaded an effort to change the name of the school where they taught. Teachers at the school, the petition sent to the school board calling for change argued, had become “increasingly uncomfortable to work at a site whose name honors a slaveholder.”1 Jefferson’s wealth, political power, and prominence in American history were secured, Talley-Hughes argued, “because he owned slaves, not in spite of that fact.” Jefferson used the “threat of physical violence” to elicit forced labor from slaves. He also advertised rewards for the capture of his runaway slaves, ordered slaves flogged, and sold them away from their families. Furthermore, Jefferson could not be exonerated as “a man of his time.” Numerous men and women of Jefferson’s generation opposed slavery and some took extraordinary efforts to end the practice. “With that information,” Talley-Hughes argued, “we do not need to rely on contemporary ethics and morality to find Jefferson lacking in the integrity and courage which generally define a hero.”2 1 Cindy Peng, “School Mulls Moral Dilemma in Deciding Whether to Change Name,” The Daily Californian, May 5, 2005@ http://www.dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=18617. 2 Marquerite Talley-Hughes, “Thomas Jefferson: A Man of His Time?,” Berkeley Daily Planet, March 9, 2004@ @http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/article.cfm?archiveDate=03-09- 04&storyID=18442. 2 The teachers’ petition set off a divisive debate in the school and the local community that gained national attention and swept through the conservative blogosphere.
