We begin our special feature with the mayors of bryan and College Station as they talk about the history and special relationship between the two cities. One of the wonderful things about Bryan College station, youve got two cities, one community. The university started in the 1870s, the city of bryan started just a couple of years before, really right after the civil war. There was a railroad coming from houston that was marching its way here, stopped before the civil war, an
Hes young, hes charismatic. He had platformed on a number of promises. So this should give a little bit of context where the Womens Movement is coming into play as we work through some of these overview issues. Now, the 60s, as much promise as there was, we also know there are a lot of issues, particularly racial issues. But there was a period of great change, warfare, and for those who did find promise in the 1960s, there were those who didnt get access to that. And so there are a number of individuals and groups fighting for that access. If you look at the 1960s, we had the 1967 detroit riots, a series of political assassinations, jfk in 1963. In 1968, he also have the assassinations of Martin Luther king jr. And bobby kennedy. So there is also a lot of fear about what this change means and a lot of people are reacting to that. Focussing in on jfk because were going to be talking mostly about women in the Civil Rights Movement today. We will be focussing in on other womens experience
Government. Good afternoon, everyone. How are you all doing . Our topic for today is the second part of our civil war content for this semester. And i want to talk today about Economic Policy and social events that are tied to the economy. I have kind of titled this, feeding the confederacy. We will focus most of our attention on the Confederate States and we will talk about the crucial issue of how you make sure that your soldiers and your civilians have enough to eat over the course of the war. There are two key ironies of this confederate experience for me. And that historians who study the confederacy really point to. One is that the Confederate States of america is a predominantly agricultural nation. We have talked about this before. The vast majority of the population in the union and the confederacy are people who live on farms. But especially in the Confederate States. We are dealing with a population that is overwhelmingly people who live on farms. And yet they will struggle
There are two key ironies of this confederate experience for me. And the historians who study the confederacy really point to one is that the Confederate States of america is a predominantly agricultural nation, and weve talked about this before. The vast majority of the population and the union are people who live on farms but especially in the confederacy states. Were dealing with a population thats overwhelmingly people who live on farms. And yet they will struggle to feed themselves more often than they will run out of bullets and armaments. So this is surprising when you think of an agricultural nation. The second big irony here is that the foundations of the confederacy, the founding documents and the succession documents of the states before they joined the confederacy said we want a limited government with more power given to the states. And yet the confederate government is going to become stronger and more invasive than any Government People had seen to this point in order to
