Join History teacher Regan Kerney H'49 '95 '98 '99 '03 '11 to learn how Abraham Lincoln’s politics evolved with the Civil War.  Lincoln began his presidency firmly resisting calls for emancipation, but reconsidered the idea as circumstances changed.  The road to the Emancipation Proclamation followed a path that transformed what the war meant, what the nation means, and our memory of who Lincoln was.  This class, based on a popular elective course for seniors, traces the journey by using a dozen key documents that illuminate the road from status quo ante to “a new birth of freedom.”
