Allen County Public Library
Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
Saturday, June 19, 2010 - Friday, July 30, 2010
 
Don't miss this travelling  exhibit highlights the three constitutional crises that Lincoln faced as President: Secession, Slavery and Civil Liberties during the Civil War. While Abraham Lincoln is widely acknowledged as one of America's greatest presidents, his historical reputation is contested. This exhibition introduces visitors to a Lincoln they may not know: a controversial president denounced in his own time as a "tyrant" for his policies on emancipation and civil liberties, and a historical figure who still stirs debate. Was he a calculating politician willing to accommodate slavery, or a principled leader justly celebrated as the Great Emancipator?
