In this special episode of Consider the Constitution, Dr. Katie Crawford-Lackey explores the evolving role of America's First Ladies with Anita McBride, former Assistant to President George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush, and co-author of "Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of America's History-Making Women." Though the Constitution never defines this role, First Ladies, from Martha Washington to today, have wielded significant influence in shaping policy, diplomacy, and national identity. McBride shares fascinating insights about how these women served as essential partners to presidents while carving out their own legacies - from Dolley Madison saving White House treasures during war to Lady Bird Johnson advocating for civil rights in the hostile South. Drawing from her extensive research for her book, McBride reveals how these remarkable women used their "automatic powerful platform" to advance the nation, even when they themselves lacked constitutional rights.

Join us on this captivating episode of The Wandering Pilgrims as we delve into the life of Dorothy Quincy Hancock, a woman whose name is often eclipsed by her more famous husband, John Hancock. Dorothy's story is one of faith, resilience, and courage, reflecting the virtues of the early American founders. Born into a family steeped in patriotism and moral values, Dorothy was surrounded by revolutionary ideas and influential figures, shaping her into an enthusiastic patriot. Discover how Dorothy's beauty and intelligence captured the heart of John Hancock, one of Massachusetts' wealthiest and most influential men, and learn about her active participation in the social and political circles of the era. Despite the challenges of war and personal heartbreak, Dorothy remained a steadfast partner to her husband, a friend to Martha Washington, and a significant figure in America's founding.

In onze serie '250 jaar Verenigde Staten van Amerika' is dit het moment om het leven en werk van die - letterlijk - grote man uit de achttiende eeuw te analyseren. Immers, George Washington (1732 - 1799) drukte een stempel op de Nieuwe Wereld als geen ander van die tijd. En zijn impact werkt door in onze tijd.Met Amerika-kenner Pirmin Olde Weghuis nemen Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger je mee naar de wouden langs de Ohio-rivier, de salons van aristocratisch Virginia, een fort bij Pittsburgh, de Grondwet-conventie in Philadelphia, een chique buitenhuis in Mount Vernon en het centrum van de macht in de nieuwe Republiek, de werkkamer van de eerste president. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Washington was een kind van de Britse elite van zijn tijd. Hij ging niet of nauwelijks naar school, was autodidact en selfmade man. Al als tiener werd hij een avontuurlijk landmeter en verkenner voor beleggers in land en vastgoed in de wildernis west van de Appalachen. Hij kende die streken als geen ander en werd een oorlogsheld als jong bevelhebber onder koning George II. Zijn dagboek van diens oorlog tegen Frankrijk en haar Indiaanse bondgenoten maakte de 22-jarige Washington een bestsellerauteur en internationale beroemdheid.Die faam zorgde er ook voor dat hij trouwde met de rijkste vrouw van Virginia en dus van heel het Britse koloniale rijk in Amerika, Martha Dandridge Curtis. Een echtpaar van krachtige, gelijkwaardige partners - en ook dat zou een stempel drukken op de cultuur en politiek van Amerika. De nu rijke grootgrondbezitter was een slavenhouder, evenals zijn vrouw. Hij zou anders gaan denken over deze gruwel, maar dit nooit politiek uitspreken. In zijn testament liet hij al zijn slaven vrij, zij deed dat niet. Washington was geen actief deelnemer aan het intellectuele debat over ‘vrijheid' en de eigen identiteit van de Britse onderdanen in Amerika. Maar zijn opvatting was helder en overtuigend voor zijn nieuwe opdrachtgever, het Congres van de 13 koloniën. Dat benoemde hem tot opperbevelhebber in het verzet tegen de repressie door het leger van Koning George III. Met zijn haveloze bende en vele tactisch omtrekkende bewegingen slaagde hij erin een veldslag tegen de professionals uit Europa te vermijden én de geestdrift te bewaren. De rol van Martha Washington en die van een kleurrijke, puissant rijke tiener uit de hoogste aristocratie in Frankrijk geven die jaren van nederlagen en strijd kleur. Uiteindelijk sneed de vloot van de Franse koning Lodewijk XVI de Britse troepen af van hun leveranciers en kneep Washingtons legertje hen fijn bij Yorktown in 1781. De jonge verkenner was Vader des Vaderlands geworden.Pirmin Olde Weghuis onderstreept met tal van voorbeelden hoe Washingtons politieke keuzes een gamechanger en rolmodel waren. Hij greep niet de macht, maar keerde huiswaarts. Hij zat de vergadering voor die een stevige grondwet moest formuleren en bleef onkreukbaar boven de partijen. Maar er kwam wel precies uit wat híj wilde. Zo werd hij de enige optie om de nieuw bedachte leidinggevende functie te gaan bekleden. Hij is de enige president in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis die tweemaal op rij met algemene stemmen werd verkozen. Jaap, PG en Pirmin trekken vier grote lessen uit dat eerste presidentschap, een ongekend experiment waarvan niemand - zeker George Washington zelf niet! - kon voorspellen dat het een succes zou worden of dat die nieuwe Grondwet en Republiek niet net als in Frankrijk in bloed gesmoord zouden worden. Die lessen zijn ook nu nog actueel. 1) Omring je met mensen die briljanter zijn dan jijzelf, maar die jouw gezag volstrekt erkennen. Er was geen twijfel dat mensen als Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison en John Adams intellectueel veel meer belezen en gevormd waren, maar evenmin bestond enige twijfel dat zij Washingtons leiderschap hoogachtten. 2) Wees afstandelijk, bedachtzaam, onkreukbaar en nooit impulsief in beslissingen. Washington was werkelijk alles wat Donald Trump niet is. Hij verfoeide polariserende partijpolitiek. Jolige populariteit verachtte hij, hem aanraken was ongeveer het ergste dat je kon doen. 3] Vermijd in andermans oorlogen verzeild te raken, wees scherp op het nationaal belang van Amerika. Washington zag dat in die revolutionaire tijden weinig nodig was om speelbal te worden in de geopolitiek van Europa's koloniale imperia. Hij keek decennia ver de toekomst in en voorzag dat andere jongeren als verkenners het 'Wilde Westen' zouden veroveren en exploiteren. Daarom was vrede noodzakelijk. Amerika zou in de komende eeuw zélf een supermacht worden, voorzag hij.4) Ken je beperkingen. Washington ging ervanuit dat hij na één termijn een ander zou laten voorgaan. Men smeekte hem vanwege het wereldwijd turbulente politieke klimaat toch aan te blijven. Hij zwichtte en bleef daadkrachtig een heldere koers varen, maar werd bezorgd bij de gedachte dat velen hem 'voor eeuwig' zouden willen handhaven. Dat zou allerminst 'republikeins' zijn! Om elke gedachte aan een derde termijn te verjagen publiceerde hij tijdig zijn afscheidsrede. Ook hiermee zette hij een politieke traditie.***Verder lezenRon Chernow – Washington, a lifeFull Text of The Federalist Papers***Verder luisteren281 - Fourth of July: Amerika reisgids voor politieke junkies382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel363 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!

In 1757, 26-year-old Martha Dandridge Custis was the wealthiest widow in Virginia when she caught the eye of George Washington, a young military hero and landowner. Their marriage thrust Martha into a public life she never anticipated. She would follow Washington from the army camps of the Revolutionary War to the presidential mansion. When Washington was inaugurated as the first U.S. president, Martha became the first woman to serve as America's first lady. With no precedent to follow, she navigated uncharted waters while facing intense public scrutiny.Order your copy of the new American History Tellers book, The Hidden History of the White House, for behind-the-scenes stories of some of the most dramatic events in American history—set right inside the house where it happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How well do we know George Washington, the man—and why have we created so many myths about him? We talk with Edward G. Lengel, award-winning author and teacher, and long-time editor-in-chief of the Washington Papers Project, about this well-known but enigmatic character. Ed Lengel has written about Washington the General, General George Washington:  A Military Life,  and about Washington the First Entrepreneur:  How George Washington Built his--and the Nation's--Prosperity , and about our continued invention of new Washington's to suit our times and tempers (Inventing George Washington: America's Founder in Myth and Memory). We will explore the many facets of Washington and his long career—during his life and after—in American culture.Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

Martha Washington's worst memory was the death of her husband. Her second worst was Thomas Jefferson's awkward visit to pay his respects subsequently. Indeed, by the time George Washington had died in 1799, the two founders were estranged. But that estrangement has obscured the fact that for most of their thirty-year acquaintance they enjoyed a productive relationship. In this lecture, Francis D. Cogliano considers the significance of one of the most important but understudied personal relationships of the founding era: the connection between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson that spanned three turbulent decades. This lecture was recorded as part of Fraunces Tavern Museum's Evening Lecture series on Monday, April 8, 2024. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.

On February 22, 2024, historians Cassandra Good and Carolyn Eastman presented a lecture on the Washington family, celebrity, and the development of the new United States. While it's widely known that George and Martha Washington never had children of their own, few are aware that they raised children together. In Good's book First Family, we see Washington as a father figure and are introduced to the children he helped raise, tracing their complicated roles in American history. The children of Martha Washington's son by her first marriage—Eliza, Patty, Nelly and Wash Custis—were born into life in the public eye, well-known as George Washington's family and keepers of his legacy. By turns petty and powerful, glamorous and cruel, the Custises used Washington as a means to enhance their own power and status. As enslavers committed to the American empire, the Custis family embodied the failures of the American experiment that finally exploded into civil war—all the while being celebrities in a soap opera of their own making. Cassandra Good is a writer and historian focused on gender and politics in early America who currently serves as Associate Professor of History at Marymount University. She is the author of the prize-winning Founding Friendships: Friendships between Men and Women in the Early American Republic and her newest book, First Family: George Washington's Heirs and the Making of America. Carolyn Eastman is an historian of early America with special interest in eighteenth and nineteenth-century histories of political culture, the media, and gender. She is Professor of History at Virginia Commonwealth University and the author most recently of the award-winning The Strange Genius of Mr. O: The United States' First Forgotten Celebrity.

Ona Judge escaped George and Martha Washington's household, where she was an enslaved housemaid, and made her way to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where she eluded George Washington's determined attempts to capture her. She made a new life for herself in New Hampshire, marrying and having three children. Her side of her remarkable story survives because she gave interviews to at least two abolitionist newspapers.

Welcome to Episode #434 - Today we discuss PREXIES.  That is the 1930's set of stamps with the pictures of the presidents, AND Benjamin Franklin, Martha Washington and the White House on them.  Enjoy.

One of my personal favorite subjects to study is First Ladies—I am completely compelled by these women, regardless of party affiliation, and I've read just about every book on them as a group, as well as many individual biographies of these dynamic women. Today on the show I have with me Katie Rogers, White House correspondent for The New York Times, to discuss her first book, the fantastic American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden, which is out February 27. In the book, Katie delves into the transformation of the modern First Lady. The role of First Lady has definitely changed from Martha Washington to Dr. Jill Biden, but even more granularly, it has changed so much from the 1990s and Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton to the present day, in particular Dr. Biden's refusal to give up her role as an educator in favor of being First Lady full-time, as all of her predecessors have done. In the book and in our conversation today, Katie gets into how we ask so much of our First Ladies yet give them no proper blueprint on how to do their job. (We also don't pay them, and there's no barometer of what a successful First Lady is or does.) We talk about what will happen when the U.S. finally elects a female president, and what the role of First Gentleman, if that is what he is called, will look like. There is so much depth to this conversation—I can all but promise you that you won't look at the role of the First Lady the same ever again. Katie has worked at The Times since 2014 and has been a White House correspondent since 2018, covering two presidential administrations and writing extensively about domestic policy, foreign policy, and, perhaps most interestingly to me, the complicated dynamics of First Families. Before writing for The Times, Katie was a reporter at The Guardian and The Washington Post. I am excited for you to meet her and learn from her in this episode.

George Washington, Martha Washington, General Philip Schuyler, Lafayette, Benjamin Rush…what do these people have in common?  Well, quite a bit, but the known similarities isn't what our focus is on this podcast.  We harness the unknown.  Well, in this episode of the Missing Chapter, let's do just that.  We're going to look at how these individuals faired during the American Revolution, some better than others of course, but one individual is credited by many historians for being the best surgeon, American or British, in the Revolution altogether.  This man has a great story, with incredible ties to our local communities in Central New York.  Find out more about this unknown historical figure on this episode of the Missing Chapter.

The George W. Bush Presidential Center recently welcomed a very special guest: the first first lady of the United States, Martha Washington.Mrs. Washington shaped our country and the role of the first lady in the 18th century. The Nation Builders at Colonial Williamsburg, like Katharine Pittman – who was actually here portraying Mrs. Washington – work to ensure her impact and those of other key historical figures live on today through engaging, well-researched, and historically accurate experiences. Host Andrew Kaufmann spoke with Katharine who, as Mrs. Washington, talked about her experience as the first lady in a newly formed country, the hardships and joys that come with public service, and her important role in post-Revolutionary War politics. We also discuss Katharine's passion for history and her journey to becoming a Nation Builder at Colonial Williamsburg on this episode of The Strategerist, presented by the George W. Bush Presidential Center.  

Much of our outlook depends on our focus. We find what we look for. Start looking for things to be grateful for, and you'll find them aplenty. Search instead for irritations and annoyances, and that's exactly what you'll see. Martha Washington once said, "I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition." On this week's episode of Loving Life at Home, we're discussing how to shift our focus to find more bountiful blessings and less utter unhappiness. More merriment and less misery. More contentment and less complaining. Show Notes VERSES CITED: - “If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Of all of the people enslaved in the southern United States over time, 40% of them were owned by women. For example, when she married George Washington in 1759, Martha Washington was herself the enslaver of 84 people.So why has the trading and enslaving of people been commonly perceived as a male domain? Why, in fact, were many white women so entrenched in this trade in human lives?In this episode, Don is joined by Dan David Prize Winner, Stephanie Jones Rogers. Stephanie has been exploring the testimonies of these people formerly enslaved by women to find out more about their experiences.Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Siobhan Dale. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.

On this day in 1796, George and Martha Washington offered a $10 reward for the capture of an escaped enslaved woman named Ona Judge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some called her The Mother of the Country, some curtseyed and called her Lady Washington, but no one could doubt that she was uniquely capable to shoulder the responsibilities and rigors of both war and diplomacy. Martha Washington's philosophy of "duty over inclination" became the template for future First Ladies in the newly-formed United States of America.
