SUMMARY:Lincoln and Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Abraham Lincoln and Reconstruction\, we will consider the issues of slavery\, secession\, and reconstruction. As seceded states came under the control of Union armies\, Lincoln grappled with the problem of their eventual readmission or reconstruction. What should the status of disloyal whites be once they had been forced to resubmit to the authority of the United States? What about the status of blacks\, almost all of whom had been liberated from slavery? When could these states be safely given full civil and political rights under the Constitution\, including representation in Congress and the right to participate in presidential elections? How did Lincoln understand the matter of political and civil equality both before the Civil War and in the wake of rebellion and emancipation? To answer these questions is to understand Lincoln’s antislavery constitutionalism\, his purpose for waging the war for Union\, his policy of emancipation\, and the meaning of “a new birth of freedom” embedded in the Gettysburg Address. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings in our conversation. All attendees of this free seminar will receive lunch\, a letter of attendance\, as well as paper and digital copies of the reader.

SUMMARY:Eugenics in the Progressive Era
DESCRIPTION:From 1900 to late 1920s America had an active eugenics movement. States and supporters argued for the public good; requiring the removal from the population genes thought to cause low intelligence\, or immoral\, criminal or anti-social behavior; which in turn allowed for compulsory sterilization laws. Some Governors\, state and federal courts regularly found these unconstitutional. Join us as we explore why this movement was so popular and why it was challenged. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings with Professor Green facilitating the conversation. 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.

SUMMARY:Collisions between State and Federal Authority in the American Federal System
DESCRIPTION:In creating what James Madison referred to as a “compound republic\,” the framers of the U.S. Constitution established a political system that was bound to generate collisions between state and federal governments. This seminar will analyze disputes about the extent of federal and state authority throughout American history\, beginning with debates between Federalists and anti-Federalists during ratification of the Constitution\, and then exploring leading episodes when state officials challenged federal authority in the early American Republic\, and then analyzing various conflicts regarding the balance of state and federal power in the contemporary era. \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.

SUMMARY:Slavery and The Constitution
DESCRIPTION:The most serious criticism of the United States Constitution is that it originated as a pro-slavery document. So what position on slavery is taken in the Constitution itself? Does the 3/5s Compromise\, the Fugitive Slave clause\, the delay on abolishing slave importation\, and other provisions\, evidence of pro-slavery exposure? Or are they necessary compromises designed to preserve the new Union until such a time as slavery could be abolished? We will examine the provision in the Constitution that focus on slavery\, considering those who argue it is a pro-slavery document and those who do not. \nThis program will be conducted as a conversation among peers\, 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.
