Certain critics of President Abraham Lincoln have long argued that the nation’s sixteenth president was an autocratic war-time leader who violated the laws of war and indiscriminately targeted the lives and property of southern civilians during the American Civil War. Come join us for Dr. Jason M. Frawley’s lecture, “Lincoln and the Laws of War” on Monday, March 25 at 4:00 p.m. in McCreary 101 (please note the new date and location). Frawley, Visiting Assistant Professor of the Civil War Era Studies, will explore the Lincoln administration’s handling of and relationship to the rules governing civilized warfare.
This event, which is sponsored by the Friends of Musselman Library, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available. This lecture is one of many events in conjunction with the traveling exhibit Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War, which will be on display in Musselman Library until April 4, 2013. This traveling exhibit was organized by the National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office, and made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center.
