Description
This evening, Harold Holzer, co-chairman of the U.S. Lincoln Bicentennial Commission and author of over 30 books on Lincoln and the Civil War, discusses the four months between Lincoln's election and inauguration when he made the decision that no compromise would be made on slavery or secession of slave holding states -- even at the cost of an inevitable Civil War. Holzer's new book, Lincoln, President-Elect: Abraham Lincoln and the Great Secession Winter 1860-61, is available for signing after the program.
