Скачать или смотреть Abraham Lincoln's Faith: Online Talk with Richard Carwardine

Join us on the Watkins Museum Facebook and YouTube for a live online discussion with distinguished historian Richard Carwardine, author of "Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln’s Union."

This new book is the first major account of the Civil War to examine how Lincoln used faith to frame the struggle for freedom and union. In 1861, the tensions surrounding slavery cracked the United States in half, and even formed rifts within the North itself, where antislavery religious nationalists butted heads with conservative religious nationalists over their visions for America’s future.

At the center of this conflict stood Abraham Lincoln, who would turn to his own faith for guidance, proclaiming more days of national fasting and thanksgiving than any other president before or since. These pauses for spiritual reflection provided the inspirational rhetoric and ideological fuel that sustained the war. We’ll discuss these events with the author, and you’ll be able to provide comments and questions!
