Lifelong Learning Lecture: What Would Lincoln Do? Division in American Political Life
Guest speaker: Dr. David Smailes, Former Associate Professor of Political Science, Law and Global Studies, Framingham State University
Sometimes it is easy to imagine the divisions in our nation’s political life are unprecedented; however, the nation has faced divisive times before and has found ways to address these divisions which have allowed the American republic to not only survive but thrive.
In this talk, we explore one of those moments of division and learn from the leadership of Abraham Lincoln in addressing, and ultimately resolving, the divisions of his time as a guide for solutions for ours.
