Indianapolis became the capital in 1825. We had a couple of other cities in indiana that served as capitals. Vincennes, indiana on the wabash river, it was the capital of the indiana territory, and then we moved the territorial capital to a city called cordon, and it on the ohio river and it became the capital when indiana gained statehood in 1860. After a few years, it became obvious we needed a new capital city in the middle, so we built one. We built the city of indianapolis here on the white river, and we have had two statehouses here. They had a contest, actually, when they were building this particular building. They were replacing a building that had not been well built, and they had torn that building down. They had a number of architects submit the drawings. This particular blueprint by an architect called edwin may won the contest. This building is primarily made was under construction for 10 years, 1878 through 1888. This building is primarily made of Indiana Limestone, and
Captioning performed by vitac hello, my name is bill white. I am in the Cornerstone Program at purdue but in another life i was a historian. I walked into graduate school in 1969, not quite 1912 when the book on the cabinet was written, but a long, long time ago. So i have a generic history graphic question that i want to take all the panelists to the first word of the conference, remaking american political history. Are there sources or questions that you and other scholars are asking in 20182019, 2020 that just would not have been asked, would never have been thought of when i walked into graduate school 50 years ago . Great question. Thank you. Somebody want to be brave and go first . Sure. So i think that from my own personal work there has been a renewed turn to looking at institutions as structures, as bodies of people who are responding to International Issues and pressures and trying to prove themselves on an International Stage, to understanding that the states the federal sta
The beginning of the conference. My name is seth i teach history at the university. And im here to proceed over this panel. Talking about the 1790s then and now thinking about the relationship between the particularly fragile moment in american political history which was the 1790s. And how we might think about what we can learn from that moment and how it connects or maybe it doesnt connect to whats happening in american political history at this moment. So the way this is going to work is ill introduce the four panelists. Each person will talk for five to seven minutes or so and develop a few lines of inquiry. Ill ask a few questions based upon what people have said. And folks will have a chance to have a conversation here. But then we want to leave the last at least 45 or 30 minutes for questions from the audience. So as we go on, please have in mind things that you want to say or things you want to ask about. All right. So i want to introduce folks from my left to my right. So firs
As an example that the idf bomb deliberately, a hospital and killed 700 people. The longer that goes on, the more israel will be in peril for for their future, so, again, we should expect nothing else from hamas. Its a terrorist organization. Its dedicated to the destruction of israel and theyre going about it in a strategic matter. Does history tell us whether they care if Congress Approves aid to israel and that america stands behind, you know the movements that have been made by the u. S. Military that is in the region, that they stand behind israel . I think theres no question that were going to provide aid to israel. Massive financial resources. Were backing them up with a significant deterrent military forces. None of this will be contingent upon whether netanyahu does or does not conduct a land operation. Thats clearly got to be an israeli decision based on their own fundamental security assessment. General, its always good to have you on the program, we thank you, general Barry
Administration, the democrats were going to make sure he did not appoint anybody to the suprcourt. Cynthia today grassley said , after giving it more thought, he implied he wouldnt rule out Holding Hearings on an obama nominee, but would only say senator grassley i will take it a step at a time. He hasnt nominated anyone yet. Cynthia the constitution states the president can nominate with the advice and consent of the senate. Matt sinovac, who questioned grassley about the process, was not pleased with his answers. The kept repeating that we will take it one step at a time, but he tried to be very vague and continued to play political games with this nomination process. Cynthia president obama today challenged republicans to offer any plausible rationale for refusing to consider a Supreme Court candidate, and he vowed to nominate an outstanding legal mind. Stacey the man looking to unseat senator grassley comes to the Selection Process for the next Supreme Court justice. State senator
