Its interesting, at the beginning of the war, none of the white northerners would have ever imagined you would have had black northern soldiers.

Frank my name is frank smith and i am the director of the museum. For this purpose this weekend i am the host of the grand review committee, welcoming thousands of marchers and reenactors and descendents to washington, d. C. To talk about the close of the American Civil War. At the end of the war, the government celebrated by bringing 200,000 soldiers to washington, d. C. To acknowledge the fact that after four years of a bloody war, it was finally over, the nation had been saved as one nation under god, and the legacy of slavery had ended forever because the union now includes africanamerican soldiers who helped win this war and change the direction of this nation. This afternoon at the museum we are going to have a Panel Discussion including three knowledgeable, informed persons who will talk about one of the legacies of the africanAmerican Civil War. That is the Voting Rights legacy of the africanAmerican Civil War. The 14th amendment makes africanamericans citizens of the United St
Barbara, maybe want to get us started. Prof. Gannon well, first you have to understand the u. S. Colored troops are more than anyone ever imagined. The u. S. Colored troops are federal volunteer units, theres over 140 of them of various times. They were a significant military force. Its interesting, at the beginning of the war, none of the white northerners would have ever imagined you would have had black northern soldiers. In fact, they turned many, many patriotic northern free men away. So its only the process of the war, i. E. The high death count sickness, and the fact that it didnt go well, that prompted people to really think about arming African Americans. The emancipation proclamation was authorized. So you had over 180,000 troops which on one hand, people always say, well, there were 2 Million Union troops, but they came when they were needed. They were fresh troops at the end of the war. I dont think any other military historian would dispute at the end of a very long, hardf
And a total collapse of the democracy, and into one party dick take or ship. And the most unstable form of governance. It is the legacy of the regime. And charisma. And able to resolve the audience and the propaganda machine. And we know from history, that after running out of enemies in side of the the country. He will turn elsewhere. Into 2005. I stopped playing chess and i turn today something that mistake russian politics. When you think of politics you think of Political Parties and funded and debates. And russias television and public debates. You think about fundraising and many other things. Elections. So, i knew i knew that it was an uphill battle. And my experience could not help at all. And unpredictable in putins russia. It is all happening within an engagement. Looking at the pictures 2006. Putin was hosting g7. I never called it g8 it was g7 plus one. It was given to yeltsin as an advance. It is was like a reward. Not a democracy or an industrial power. And china never ma
Questions. Most are not aware of this and have not received training dollars to be aware of it. We met the enemy, and it is us. So yes, and we invest in professional development. We would like to invest more. And i also argue publicly in many places that the money we put behind current teacher professional development, not future teachers is often well sorry. Is often poorly spent and not spent on things teachers are looking for. It seems reasonable that congress would give some direction, if we see a need to address 20 of the population, that we could give specific direction it shouldnt be like here some money. Spends it as you wish. But we have a specific national need. Please address. Much like concord and hiv are going to the moon. There are many children with special needs, many children facing real challenges, and for me its not about picking out this population, that population. Its about how to get every single one of those children i accept that. In times of limited resources,
