martha was not there for george's inauguration either. but martha had written a letter at one point in her life to john which said that and fortunately how could they, the southerners, reconcile human bondage with the ideology of freedoms that america had fought for. and abigail hired a free african-american named james, who worked at their farm. and during the early days of the atlas administration, she wrote to her husband about a rather upsetting incident in which she was trying to get james educated. and she believed in education. she was part of a first education, first lady. and so she fought for him to attend to local school. but there was a neighbor who objected and she responds to that neighbor. and she told her husband with the question, is this the christian principle of doing to others as we would have others do to us? abigail eventually prevailed, not surprisingly, and james was educated after abigail. the next first lady, to show any interest in civil rights and equality for african-americans was mary lincoln, who had come f

martha, it was never that kind of love match. but in the year before he died, after he left the presidency, he wrote to her. she had she and her husband had been loyalists and they'd gone to england to live and never came back. so this was 40 years later and he wrote her this this letter i'm sorry. it's hard for me to do, but five and 20, my dear madam, five and 20 years have nearly passed away since i've considered myself as a peanent resident at this place, or have been in a situation to indulge melf in a familiar intercourse with my friends by letter or otherwise during this period. so many important events have occurred and such changes in men and things have taken place as the corpus of a letter would give you but an inadequate idea, none of which events, however, nor all of them together, have been able to eradicate. from my mind the recollection of those happy moments happiest in my life, which i've enjoyed in your company. this was all under line, and the original letter worn out in a manner by the toils of my past labor.

i think particularly in martha jones chapter and kate mayes there's chapter. so chapters that deal with the anti i'll call them the early republic. so roughly. 20 to 1860, the slave narratives definitely are important as. well, as particularly martha jones is interested in how black we will call them now black southerners are seeing themselves as residents of the region and as americans and as members of a black diaspora to an african diaspora. so their voice is very important. and again, kate mesa's chapter, she actually uses solomon. solomon northup as a kind of organizing figure. so they are definitely an important, important voice. but i'll just say that the slave narratives in 1933 collected in the during the depression are great, not for the period of slavery, but for the period after slavery. so if you want to talk about black life in the 1870s, 1880, zora neale hurston is one of the people who's collecting these materials and her descriptions of. the kind of intricacies of black life grow out of the slave narrative in the fantastic forces forces. what

think on martha's vineyard or something like that. and i remember condoleezza rice gave a speech and i and i actually i had the option to ask her. there was like a hundred interns or whatever. and i said, you know, what are the big issues for foreign policy? and she said, it's like corruption in indonesia, you know, instability in pakistan. but it was it was kind of policing the outer boundaries at the end of history, basically. and think that has been undermined. and in some ways it's bad, but on the whole it's probably been it's natural, it's realism. so in some sense, you know, it has to be dealt with, but that opens it up to, you know, the danger in some sense as people, oh, this old model is dumb. and so nobody what they're doing. and so of any kind is the window. but this is saying, no, there's a deeper form. that's not the dewy kind of expertise but that is a product of reflection and a philosophical formation that, of course, you then have experience and expertise on top of that. but it's not a kind of cookie cutter, you know,
