Food for thought! Abraham Lincoln Today

[Matt Macoubrie]

As I tell my students, "History is not about putting names, places, and events on a timeline ... Rather, history is about interpreting ideas and events and correlating them into today's understandings and society". I personally think we don't know exactly what Lincoln and or wen his cabinet would have done, but it's something us historians are known for. Finding a slice in history is what we all so and love. Analyzing and proposing is what history is!
