[RESCHEDULED] Register for "Abraham Lincoln: Philosopher and Statesman"

3:55 PM ET - 5:30 PM ET, April 7, 2021 | Hosted by: TeachingAmericanHistory.org & North West Florida Region

What constitutes Lincoln’s political greatness? How does statesmanship differ from other kinds of leadership? What is Lincoln’s philosophical statesmanship? How does it combine qualities of both intellect and character? This seminar will focus on Lincoln as a Philosopher and Statesmanship.

This program will be conducted as a Socratic discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. All attendees will receive a Letter of Attendance at the end of the seminar.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
