Lincoln: Myth and Reality   NEW!

The paradox of what Lincoln did during 1854-1865 and who he was continues to fascinate both scholars and the general public. Lincoln was known as the “great emancipator”. However, his racial attitudes were complicated, unclear, and affected by the prevailing attitudes of the time. His unconstitutional actions have been harshly criticized for creating an “imperial presidency” yet his understanding of democracy continues to be a source of inspiration in many parts of the world. Discover why this is and explore these and other issues while looking for “definitive” Abraham Lincoln. Mature Learning classes are for persons aged 55 and older only.
