Good morning, chairman. Theres so much more that cspan does in terms of programming to make sure that people outside the beltway know whats going on inside it. I announce my candidacy. I am officially running for president of the United States. Im a reporter who covers politics. And for so many of my stories in the washington post, cspan has been part of my research, providing me with quotes and insights about people. There are so many niches within the political blogosphere and all of those policy areas get covered. How many Nuclear Warheads does russia have aimed at the u. S. And the u. S. Have aimed at russia .

We are very pleased to welcome back to this stage dr. Mark grimsley. [applause] it is a pleasure to be here this afternoon. I am looking forward to talking with you. Lets get this up on the screen. We are talking today about the and about the final wars on native americans. I am neither a civil war historian or a military historian. I still know a lot about the civil war. [laughter] but i dont identify as a military historian. And the way i actually came to the subject of my first book, which i will be talking about some today, actually was by way of the interest in moral judgment in war. The kind of moral judgments that we often make in wartime. And as an historian, the kind of judgments that we do make. And that was the genesis of the book that became interesting in the moral judgments that Union Officers and soldiers made towards Southern Civilians in the path of war during the American Civil War. So that is where that came from. However, having written that book, i have formed an a
And kind of a rosy view of spiritual practices of native americans. You get this kind of dualism. So actually to the extent that whites paid attention to this spiritual practices of native americans, they saw in a kind of favorable sort of way. Its kind of a strange sort of double thing. Attitudes toward native americans exist side by side. Did your research on the native americans involve any way that the native americans tribe treated each other and their type of warfare . Is that looked at or considered . Yeah, i can talk a little bit more about that. Western indians practiced mutilation as a matter of course. Within native american culture, this kind of mutilation had a cultural significance and understanding that. When native americans practiced the kind of mutilations that they did against one another on white soldiers, this is the kind of thing that drove white soldiers into a fury. Does that address your question . Can you tell me about the lib a code . Yeah, what youre talking
