On Tuesday night February 8th, 2011, on The Special Program Series of
Accessible World, history student Edwin Cooney will examine the major decisions
made by Abraham Lincoln our 16th president.
Using the Civil War as the background, rather than the theme of his
presentation, Edwin Cooney will explore the forces that President Lincoln faced
during the decision making process. The three major decisions to be discussed
will be: (1.) How the president managed the beginning of the war; (2.) How the
purpose of the conflict shifted from being about preserving the union to
freeing the slaves; and (3.) How President Lincoln used the constitutional
authority to suspend civil liberties during the Civil War.
Although Mr. Cooney deeply believes that Abraham Lincoln was probably the
wisest man ever to occupy the presidency, he believes that Mr. Lincoln made at
least one major miscalculation that made the war inevitable.
Come and join Ed Cooney. Challenge his conclusions while offering your own. The
presentation will last no longer than an hour--perhaps as little as 45 minutes,
the rest of the time spent will be yours.
