Its no and he still managed to put together a structure for the kind of multipolar world that we live in today, opening china, soviet union, allowing japan and germany to rebuild. I still think that and then given todays polarize politics politics, you have to l
Ok, good morning and welcome to the new America Foundation. We are here for the third in our panel series of president s at war. This is a series for the understanding lincoln course, brought to you by the Gilder Lehrman institute for American History and dickinson college. So we are engaged in a discussion of Abraham Lincoln and his role in his legacy in American Society but were also thinking about how the issues he confronted as a commander in chief, as a president have evolved in the modern day and where they might be headed in the future. This panel is about the role of the press. This is the wartime press and Civil Liberties during war. It is one of the most controversial aspects of lincolns legacy. It remains one of the most controversial subjects in American History. My name is Matthew Pinsker and i am the instructor of the understanding lincoln course. I would like to introduce the panelists and turn it over to our monitor and let him ask a series of questions in an informal d
