, kentucky, tennessee and the gulf coast. and davis is very impressed. and of course they are still good friends. davis was senator from mississippi. they knew each other very well before the war and saw each other routinely. and so davis can think of no better man than to take over the job of commanding the army, or commanding the forces and arranging for the defenses of the mississippi valley than leonidas polk. so polk leaves richmond as a major general in the confederate army. he has literally bumped from a second lieutenant 34 years before, who never commanded troops, to now commanding, well, what are substantial, though not the entirety, of all the forces in the western confederacy. polk has such a controversial after image in our war and our american civil war, that it is best to remember that actually polk was reluctant to take this commission. and he accepted the command on one condition he would only hold it -- and davis agreed with this -- until their own great friend, albert sydney johnson arrived. and then davis

well, harris had appointed brigadier generals in the army of tennessee -- or the state army of tennessee. and unlike, perhaps, some of those mississippi forlss because the army -- the tennessee state army would remain in existence for almost two months and begin to take much more shape in the organization before it joined the confederacy. many of those officers would simply be ported over as confederate brigadier generals when tennessee finally joined the confederacy. and in june -- in june polk travels to richmond. he meets with jefferson davis. he's still a civilian at this point. he's still the bishop of louisiana. he and davis sit down and have discussions. polk does an incredible job of laying out the strategic problems that face the confederacy along the mississippi river valley and through tennessee, kentucky, tennessee and the gulf coast. and davis is very impressed. and of course, they're still good friends. davis was a senator from mississippi. they knew each other very well before the war and saw each other routinely. and so davis can think of no better man to take over the jo

[laughs] such is life in the army of tennessee. but after the defeat at chatter nougat, it became apparent to everybody that braxton bragg no longer had the confidence of the army. so that's finally how joe johnson gets command of the army. polk and johnson get along superficially much better, though it turns out that joe johnson doesn't talk much about his strategy either. the atlantic campaign is interesting for the fact that not all that much happens prior to that campaign, in terms of confederate planning or strategy. johnson always said that he intended to launch, wait for the federal stack and then he would counter attack. he would catch them moving and defeat them piecemeal, which never really happened. the death of general polk -- polk only last until june 14th, 1864. because on pine mountain on that date, polk meets with johnson and hardy and general could. hood has recovered from his chickamauga wound and he is minus one like with a semi crippled arm. has rejoin the army as a core commander. they need to conduct a reconna

ghost of tennessee. tennessee has yet another complicated secession stories. but does not join the confederacy for approximately two months. tennessee creates its own army just like the state armies that is a discussion about van dorn being a major general in mississippi. but i should harris had brigadier general in tennessee while the state army of tennessee. and unlike him the mississippi forces the tennessee army will remain in existence for almost two months and begin to take much more shape an organization before join the confederacy. many off those officers would simply be ported over as confederate generals. in june, and june, poke travels to richmond in may to jefferson davis. helk is still the bishop of louisiana part he and davis sit down. they have a set of long discussions. poke is an incredible job of laying out the strategic problemshe that face the confederacy along the mississippi river valley. and through tennessee, kentucky, and the gulf coast. and davis is very impressed. they are still good friends, davis was a senator from mississippi. the

there are two in tennessee, tennessee state and the university of tennessee. these institutions receive funding to focus on teaching and practical agriculture, science and engineering. when i became president of tsu we looked at the funds that had not been distributed to tsu. we look at the funny the other land-grant had received and wondered why there was no match for tennessee state university. additionally, there was additional funding required that the state had a ruling that tennessee state would receive one third of the amount of funds that the other institution received. there was nothing in the budget for tennessee state, nothing. for 50 years there was nothing in the budget to even account for it. this speaks to the need for more oversight in other areas we can get to. but the underfunding was calculated in the late 1950's to the present and the number came to $150 million to $544 million. we are working with the state legislature, working with the committee put together last fall to ensure that tsu enter into conversations about the money that we are

what can we do here in northeast tennessee? i mean. he was teaching a class called contemporary issues. but for posing questions like that, and assigning authors as dangerous as ta-nehisi coates, who lost his jobs in may. that's a months, tennessee passed a law banning schools from teaching the idea that an individual by virtue of the individual's race or sex is inherently privileged, racist, sexist or a press. and as we've told you on the show, conservative groups have already used this law to try banning books about ruby bridges. and about martin thinking junior. but this isn't just about tennessee. this isn't just about matthew horn. this is about a nationwide attempt to censor, to crack down on any discussion of equality, race and america's full history in the classroom. don't take my word for it. take the word of wisconsin state assembly member, chuck workers. he's trying to ban teachers from using specific words in that classroom. you want to know which words? let's see how many i can squeeze and in 60 seconds. start the clock. c

>> in a red state like tennessee, and rev, i don't know if you know, i was raised in memphis, tennessee, where i could see this happening. so, to think of nashville being divided into multiple congressional districts, something like franklin county, where majority minority districts are being eliminated -- this is what the gop playbook is and it's not just happening in tennessee, it's happening in gop-led legislatures across the country, because they look at redistricting as an opportunity to silence black and brown voters. they look at redistricting as an opportunity to give themselves a leg up, to make sure that they have whatever representation they want and removing that power from the voters. essentially removing the basic power of individual voters. and that's what's harmful here and that's the trend we've seen across the country. i come back to this every week we talk about this, rev, congress cannot ignore this. and so all eyes need to be on senate democrats in passing the freedom to vote act, the john lewis voting rights advancement act, because they have the solutions to make

devastating twisters strike from tennessee to illinois, missouri, arkansas, and kentucky. leaving a historic trail of destruction in its path. around 50 people feared dead in kentucky. many of them at a factory where the roof collapsed. >> it is tragic. very hard. really tough. >> we're live with the latest on the carnage and a forecast for the storm that's not done yet. now headed for the east coast this morning. >>> rising pain. a new government report finds groceries and gas prices more expensive than they have been in nearly 40 years. >> they're paying more for things they need than they had to pay before. that's the bottom line. >> the president saying this is the peak and he hopes prices will go back down soon. but for the millions of americans struggling to get by, will it be fast enough? >>> soaring covid cases. health officials across the country sounding the alarm. new york's governor enacting an indoor mask mandate in an effort to keep residents in the state safe from covid. >> and we could either plateau here or our cases could escalate beyond control. >>> as t
