The Legacy and Lessons of the age of Lincoln
Nearly 150 years ago, the United States was in the middle of our bloodiest war. The young country looked to a brilliant Midwesterner, Abraham Lincoln, to lead them through the darkest hours of political and constitutional crises. What lessons have we learned from this time in American collective memory? How have the meanings of freedom changed for Americans since the Civil War and how has Lincoln’s legacy shaped American political discourse today?
