SUMMARY:Abraham Lincoln\, Race\, and the New Birth of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will examine Lincoln’s speeches and letters\, as well as those of select contemporaries\, on emancipation\, civil war\, and reconstruction. We will focus on Lincoln’s consistencies and inconsistencies on race\, his changing war goals\, and his vision for a postwar reconstructed nation rededicated to the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence. \n\nHistoric Site: Lincoln Home and Presidential Museum\nHotel: President Abraham Lincoln Springfield – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Multi-Day Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins\, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer\, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals\, materials\, single-occupancy rooms\, and historical site visits are 100% covered by Teaching American History. At the end of each course\, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend of $600 to help defray travel costs.

SUMMARY:A New South: Industrialism and Race in the Postbellum South
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Confederacy’s defeat\, some white leaders of the South sought to modernize the region by promoting 1) sectional reconciliation\, 2) a resolution to the region’s race problem\, and 3) the creation of a new economic order based on industry\, commerce\, and a diversified agricultural system. In short\, these leaders advocated for the creation of a New South. But was the New South really different from the Old South? This seminar will seek to answer this question by examining the motives and results of the New South movement. \n\nHistoric Site: Sloss Furnace National Historic Landmark\nHotel: Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.

SUMMARY:America at 250: The Legacy of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King\, Jr. both argued that the proper foundation for civic education is the belief that America has a moral essence derived from the principles of the Declaration of Independence\, and that America’s history and purpose—its past\, present\, and future—is the story of our struggle to live up to those principles. In this seminar\, we will read three documents–the Declaration of Independence\, the Gettysburg Address\, and the “I Have a Dream” Speech”– that demonstrate that an American is not just a citizen or an abstract concept\, but a certain kind of human being\, a person whose mind and heart have been profoundly shaped by the principles contained in the Declaration\, especially the truth of the proposition that all men are created equal. That understanding of an American still resonates with teachers\, students\, and citizens today\, 250 years after Thomas Jefferson first wrote the words that made America: “We hold these truths to be selfevident\, that all men are created equal.” \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.
