Batavia, NY (09/05/2019) — What: FREE Constitution Day Event ~ Lincoln: Constitutional Pragmatist
When: Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 12:30 p.m.
Where: Genesee Community College ~ Batavia Campus ~ William W. Stuart Forum
Who: All are invited and welcome!
Background: On Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 12:30 p.m. all are invited to the William W. Stuart Forum on Genesee Community College's Batavia Campus to hear Associate Professor of History Derek Maxfield present Lincoln: Constitutional Pragmatist.
During this session Professor Maxfield explores this nation's relationship with Abraham Lincoln and his association with the Constitution. A deeper understanding of Lincoln may surprise some people, and even tarnish his popular image for others. To some extent this is because Americans tend to think of Lincoln more as a statesman and hero, rather than a politician. The truth, however, is that Lincoln was a very talented politician and could be just as smooth, yet slippery, as the best and most manipulative of civic leaders.
Lincoln's relationship with the Constitution was shaped by both Lincoln - the statesman and Lincoln - the politician, depending upon circumstances. This event is FREE and open to the public.
