So what that means is that as early as the spring of 1811, madison was considering very seriously the need to go to war with Great Britain. And this is seven months before the 12th congress and the war hawks even meet in washington. They would continue with these policies for as long as it took r took for them to end this abomination of the affairs of europe. Now, this was 1811. In 1811, nobody was predicting that Napoleon Bonaparte would be gone. You might have made that prediction after 1812 and 1813, but in 1811, nobody was kournting kourn counting on napoleon going away any time soon. He decided he had no other option than to prepare for war against Great Britain. It took this decision weeks and weeks before congress knew what policies that might have to pass judgment. Maybe its spoke man worked its way through committees and votes and the house of representatives as congress prepared for war in the First Six Months of november late after november of 1811. But the primary movement
The editor of the national intelligence. What that means is that as early as the spring of 1811, madison was considering very seriously the need to go to war with Great Britain. And this is seven months before the 12th congress and its warhawks meet in washington. Now, the negotiations between monroe and madison confirmed madisons suspicions. Not only did the british have no intention of changing their policies, they also announced effectively that they would continue with these policies for as long as it took for them to end polands domination of europe. This is 1811, remember. And in 1811, nobody was predicting that Napoleon Bonaparte would be gone from the National Scene by 1813. In 1811, no one was counting on napoleon going away any time soon. In response to that situation, madison called the congress into a 12 30 session. His reason for doing so was that he had decided that he now had no other option to prepare for a war against Great Britain. Again, he took this decision weeks a
Life and really we cannot have done our work without this incredible research. Today, hes going to illuminate for us the intricacies of madisons presidency and madisons later Life Reflections on his thoughts about the war. Please join me in welcoming our colleague and our mentor, dr. John stagg. [ applause ] thank you, katherine, for the wonderful welcome, and i would like to add my thanks to those of our previous speakers to the organizers of the conference today. As the bicentennial of the war approached, i found myself wondering, what is the federal government in washington going to do about the bicentennial war of 1812 . It was entirely predictable that the great state of maryland would have a party, particularly in 2014 because the great state of maryland thipnks it has a franchise on the starspangled banner. Im glad to say we are doing something here today, and as i say, im grateful for it. Let me start with some very general remarks about the nature of James Madisons historical
1832 in the wake of nat turners revolt. Until then, theres an actual fair amount of teaching slaves to read and write, particularly artisans and house slaves. The other thing is, this is also a period in which the vast majority of enslaved people in the chesapeake have become christians, and theyre usually methodist or baptist and their class leaders or teachers would like many of them to be able to read the bible. So theres much more literacy than we have bargained on, and you dont need everybody to be able to read it. If theres one group of 50 who can read, he can read it to everybody else. The other thing is that people in america are lousy at keeping secrets. They are the worlds worst people at keeping secrets and this comes back to bite them all time in the war of 1812. You get officers in the front line writing letters about how terrible their troops are and theyre not prepared and theyre sick and they get published in the newspapers of that time. People talk about stuff. They ca

It is extraordinarily widespread, into the rural as equal urban areas and everybody in a rural area you are not immune or protected from this virus. That frank assessment from dr. Birx is now drawing the ire of her boss. President trump tweeting, so crazy nancy pelosi said horrible things about dr. Birx going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing in order to counter Nancy Deborah took the batd and hit us, pathetic. As for the president claiming to have done such a good job heres what that looks like. See how the case numbers rose starkly in july. We could be hitting the 5 million case milestone by the end of this week and then california topping half a million cases alone, more than any other state but there they be good news. On a treatment.
