Education for Democracy Podcast, Episode 5: Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
The bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, February 12, 2009, is a
good time to reflect on Lincoln and his contributions to American
constitutionalism and citizenship. It provides a particularly good
opportunity for high school teachers to introduce their students to
Lincoln's legacy. In this month's podcast, John J. Patrick, Professor
Emeritus of Education at Indiana University, describes Lincoln's legacy
as president during a troubled time in our nation's history. Professor
Patrick elaborates on the themes presented in his free lesson for high
school students, which can be found at http://Lincoln.civiced.org. He
discusses habeas corpus during the Lincoln era, presidential powers,
slavery, the Emancipation Proclamation, and Lincoln's thoughts about the
Declaration of Independence, among other topics.
