cameron political machine controlled pennsylvania into the 1930s so he controlled pennsylvania. his political machine controlled pennsylvania for nearly 50 years after his death and one of the reasons i wrote the book was to remind people there's more to cameron than just that famous caddies see the stevens story. this was a human being with nuance and ideas. he wasn't this mustache your villain but he was a person and his career has a lot to teach us about the way in which politics worked in the 1820s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. >> book tvs exploration of harrisburg literary life continues. up next, cooper wingert talks about his book"slavery and the underground railroad in south central pennsylvania" . >> i have always been interested in the local history and particularly with the involvement of slavery in this area of pennsylvania. we often think of slavery as a southern institution. in my research i found this area of pennsylvania i called south-central pennsylvania which is cumberland, franklin, york and adams counties was the slaveholding capital of pennsylvania from the

small farming village with the building of the pennsylvania canal and the pennsylvania railroad, it became the center of industry and manufacturing until its decline in 1970 three at the day its largest economic drivers are state and federal government . with the help of our comcast cable partners for the next 90 minutes we will learn about the city's history and literary scene from local authors. we begin our special feature on hereford with a look at simon cameron, lincoln's beleaguered secretary of war. >> simon cameron is the most talented and important political leader in american history if people haven't heard of. cameron was without a doubt the most talented political machine builder, the most talented politician of his generation. people talk about the age of andrew jackson but in many ways we should talk about the age of simon cameron. this is a man whose political skills were undeniable and the man who built a political machine that lasted far beyond any of those instructed by his contemporaries. he was a man who mastered his moment and when you think he was one of 1799, the las

there was nothing pennsylvania could do. if pennsylvania decided it did not want to be a slave state its right to not have slavery should be protected. one of the things that really irritates him his what he sees as a slave attack on the northern states right to not be slave states. as part of the compromise of 1850 it had instituted a more aggressive fugitive save -- slave law the city officials even in free states were required to help recapture escaped slaves. if they got to pennsylvania the city officials were required to spend tax money to try to recapture that he said i respect south carolina's right. again this is all predicated on the idea that states have a constitutional right to decide whether they want to be free states or whether they want to be on the attitudes about race come from his consistent advocacy that they should enlist african-americans. he begins making that point. this is can be a long drawn out war. only on the confederate armies but also the infrastructure and there is no bigger or more important

in pennsylvania. the murals in the chamber here, 35 identifiable figures here. with allegorical genius of state figure up in the top. famous pennsylvania's and then they are famous religious figures and famous generals. famous philanthropists. the treaty with the indians benjamin west did the , original. edward austin abbey did all of these so we took that and morphed it into its own understanding of the treaty with the indians. the last mural is the first public reading in the declaration of independence reading. the mural on the ceiling was painted by edwin austin abbey. originally it was going to include a stained-glass dome but they decided in 1904 there were going to put another floor above that. they moved the dome over there and he created this mural. it is the 24 hours of the day from light to dark. and the zodiac sign is depicted behind that as well. p trying to pick as many pennsylvania artist at the time. abbey was a native of philadelphia but in english x expatriate and lived in england fo

yet we are the capital of pennsylvania. one of the things advocated in this book was that people should stay away from the political process. the voting, partaking in politics in any way. and yet here it is being published in our highly contentious lyrical capital right after the war of 1812. harrisburg becomes the capital in 1812 and is the capital of sea of governments, had a lot of english-speaking folks, john harris speaks english but you also have a mennonite and a baptist german speaking tradition, largely farmers. and that is still very much evident in pennsylvania today. it was always a little bit of tension between urban city of harrisburg and surrounding rural communities even though harrisburg at the time was very just the downtown and was surrounded by farms everywhere you can see. so that's sort of the history of printing in 19th century harrisburg , as we moved to the 20th century, the city undergoes a movement called the city beautiful movement and you have national leaders, people like werth mcfarland who na
