Description

He is often revered as the president who freed the slaves, but how did Abraham Lincoln arrive at his highly controversial decision, and what was the real impact? This exhibition examines the fundamental change in Lincoln’s views about slavery and the Union that changed America. At one time a moderate on the question of slavery — while he despised it, he wasn’t an abolitionist — Lincoln changed his mind during the Civil War, resulting in the Emancipation Proclamation that declared free more than three million African American slaves. This exhibition reveals the intensity and the gravity of the forces that transformed Lincoln’s views and forever changed America.
