I think that President Lincoln and the American Civil War should be a mandatory one-year history course for all high school senior students throughout the nation. It is fundamental to an understanding of the basis for democracy. This is especially true now and henceforward. Research online and books such as Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals and Professor Michael Burlingame's Abraham Lincoln: A Life (Vol. Two) [especially for detailed research on a specific topic, such as the "Dakota 38"] are so useful.
