The Age Of Eisenhower - William Hitchcock Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series In a 2017 survey, presidential historians ranked Dwight D. Eisenhower fifth on the list of great presidents, behind the perennial top four: Lincoln, Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Teddy Roosevelt. Join me and our guest, historian William Hitchcock, who shows in his new book, "The Age of Eisenhower," that this high ranking is justified. Eisenhower's accomplishments were enormous, and loom ever larger from the vantage point of our own tumultuous times. A former general, Ike kept the peace: he ended the Korean War, avoided a war in Vietnam, adroitly managed a potential confrontation with China, and soothed relations with the Soviet Union after Stalin's death. He guided the Republican Party to embrace central aspects of the New Deal like Social Security. He thwarted the demagoguery of McCarthy and he advanced the agenda of civil rights for African Americans. As part of his strategy to wage, and win, the Cold War, Eisenhower expanded American military power, built a fearsome nuclear arsenal and launched the space race. In his famous Farewell Address, he acknowledged that Americans needed such weapons in order to keep global peace—but he also admonished his citizens to remain alert to the potentially harmful influence of the "military-industrial complex."

Stephen Engle - The New South Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living Interview Series My guest today is Prof. Stephen Engle, expert on the South, it's culture, society, politics and influence on the United States. It has been said that we may not know where the American South is anymore, but we know when we are in it. Something about the South won't let go of the American imagination. Historians are fascinated by the region, its people, its culture, and its influence on this country—from the Civil War to tensions and conflicts that resonate among Americans today. Much new scholarship has surfaced in recent decades, and historian Stephen D. Engle reassesses why the idea of the South began, and what have been the effects on this country by surveying the region, the people, and the region's cultural identity. In this thoughtful daylong program, he explores the South both as place and idea, and why its complexities remain in our modern culture.

The Wrong Side of History: The Loyalists in the American Revolution - Richard Bell The Smithsonian Associates Interview Series The loyalists were the losers of the American Revolution. Americans who rejected independence and who fought to keep the colonies safely within the bosom of the British Empire forfeited almost everything when the patriots declared victory at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. History quickly lost sight of them, and from our contemporary perspective it's hard to understand why so many ordinary Americans were bitterly opposed to the break with Britain and the birth of a new democratic nation. Historian Richard Bell examines the American Revolution from the point of view of those colonists who remained staunchly loyal to Britain and the Crown. Focusing on individuals with compelling personal stories, Bell challenges deeply rooted stereotypes of loyalists as sycophantic, cowardly, and selfish persons of means—usually merchants, petty aristocrats, or government officials. In truth, loyalists came from all rungs of the social ladder. Many were white, like the Anglican minister Jacob Bailey, and some were black, like George Washington's escaped slave Harry. Using their experiences as examples, Bell examines why men and women like them chose to remain loyal to Britain, what the experience of the Revolution was like for them, and how their lives changed once the patriots won the war.
