Give you a timeline as to what robert ely did in the postwar years, often the most overlooked portion of his life. The other main theme of this lecture i will try to get across i would amount of not say he did a lot of work but through his own personal example is probably the best way. Robert his own example, e lee tries to reconcile the nation. Havei think a lot of us forgotten is how far apart this country was in 1865. Is the view of a lot of people that lee surrendered at appomattox and then, bam, we will forget about it. We will just hold hands and reunite and continue down the path again. Decades,the country some would say a century, someone say not even yet, for the country to reunite. I would put the country seriously coming back together in the spanishamerican war when we all had a common enemy once again. That would be roughly 30 years after the end of the civil war. Robert e lee does not live that long. He is only going to live for five years. But you think about who symboliz
With the coronavirus pandemic. The total spending is about 2. 5 trillion thats already been spent. The speaker of the house proposed a new piece of legislation this week that i think the house will vote on on friday thats another 3 trillion. So its actually more than the previous four combined. And the legislation that she is proposing has a lot of items that arent directly related to the covid19 crisis. They are, as some have said, a wish list of priorities and others have said in the media that its more of a messaging bill. So well see. Among other things, it says as an example that they want to change the current law which says that youre limited in terms of how much of a federal Tax Deduction you can take for state and local taxes. Thats called the salt issue. They want to repeal that. That cost, by the way, is about 180 billion, Something Like that. And it would result in about 50 of the benefit, the tax benefit going to the top 1 of taxpayers. So if that doesnt sound like its som
Trillion. So its actually more than the previous four combined.

That cost, by the way, is about 180 billion dollars, Something Like that. And it would result in about 50 of the benefit, the tax benefit going to the top 1 of the taxpayers. So if that doesnt sound like something thats going to be, you know, impactful in terms of the coronavirus pandemic we face, i can think a lot of better ways to spend that money, including more testing, ensuring our Small Businesses can get back on their fee

And never hit me, but i guess it might, in a way, because i am a fan of robert e lee. Besides giving you a timeline of did in the e. Lee postwar years, and overlooked area of his life, the other main theme i am going to try to get across to you, the park service is that ithemes, wouldnt say he did a lot of work, but his own personal example is probably the best way.
