The legislative capital of europe. World leaders need to get it stuck with redemption and protection of the materials and strengthening International Cooperation organizers suppose that the Current Situation in ukraine will be the main topic for consideration.

Theyre also very different. And i suspect that the truth is somewhere in the middle here, and i couldnt tell you which one is better. And this is another one. This is an image that came out of one of the books that i did and it is showing the british piling up material, and this is in the Capitol Building. And if youll notice, the guy on the left, on the back, hes carrying a backpack that would carry two cases for a congrieve rocket. Rocket and if youll notice the man standing on top of the pile, hes literally taking the projectile material that would have been inside of that rocket and hes sprinkling it over the top and then thats how they would light that fire and here is the actual account and this is by Benjamin Henry latrobe. There was no want of material for the conflagration. For when the number of members of congress was increased the old platform was left in its place and another raised over it giving an additional quantity of dry and loose timber. All the stages and seats of
In the war of 1812, obviously. So its my pleasure to welcome colonel eshelman to the podium. [ applause ] good morning, everyone. Thank you. That was a kind introduction. I have never been called colonel when im been introduced. Thank you very much. I want to add to the accolades expressed about the wonderful job the partners and all the individuals have done to put this symposium together. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you have as well. We still have an afternoon to go as well. Itis not over and im looking forward to it. Before lunch, which is an important thing for all of us, i have a few words i would like to say about some of the myth that surround washington, d. C. Specifically, im going to talk about three myths. Im going to present them to you in the form of a question. The first one is did the british really burn Washington City . Question number two. Is the white house really called the white house because it was painted white because of the scorch marks when the britis
And most of them i think were built around either boston or philadelphia. In supporting the war, and particularly the naval war, did jobs ever come into any of the equations in 1812, or looking longer through American History, when did jobs become an issue of National Policy . All right. When did jobs start driving our defense policy . Yes. Not during this war. I dont see any evidence that federalists said, well, weve got to support expanding the navy because thats going to be jobs in our commercial ports where were often in a majority. Ive not seen that hint of that. And this is a rare war, in that the we really did bad economically during the war. Sometimes we do very well during a war, i think its more typical that the massive spending in the ploumt, world war ii being the best case probably, generates economic activity. But not in this war. And thats largely as Andrew Lambert will be happy to remind us, because of the overwhelming power of the british navy. Which established a bloc
Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Captioning performed by vitac it was really inspite of rather than because of anybodys wishes. Americans at the time considered Political Parties, political faxes dysfunctional. The european record seemed to be that factions led to civil war, so no one really favored the development of american Political Parties, but they emerged anyway. The initial division was over hamiltons Financial Program. That division widened after the french revolution went into its more radical stage in 1793, 94 95, and i think the parties were pretty well solidified by the time the United States ratified the jay treaty with Great Britain in 1795. The federalists reluctantly supported that treaty, the emerging democratic republicans who are deadset against it. They deepened still more during our undeclared naval war with france in the late 1790s which was a byproduct of the jay treaty, one of the down sides, though we did pretty well thats truly or forgotten conflict.
