Good evening. I am glad to be here with you for the first lecture in the Supreme Court Historical Societys series, this Supreme Court and the civil war revisited. The timing is just right, for this year marks the 150th anniversary of the war between the states. A bit about the society which i joined many years before i got this good job.
