Light refreshments will be served.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EBased on an original, interactive exhibit developed by the National Constitution Center, this traveling version explores Lincoln\u2019s struggle to resolve the basic questions that divided Americans at the most perilous moment in the nation\u2019s history: Was the United States truly one nation, or was it a confederacy of sovereign and separate states? How could a country founded on the belief that \u201call men are created equal\u201d tolerate slavery?\u0026nbsp;In a national crisis, would civil liberties be secure? President Lincoln used the Constitution to confront the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties. Lincoln\u2019s decisions about these three intertwined crises of war reinvented the Constitution and the promise of American life. This exhibition develops a more complete understanding of Abraham Lincoln as president and the Civil War as the nation\u2019s gravest constitutional crisis.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EThe exhibition was organized by the National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office.
