Political polarization in America has a long history. President Lincoln’s words, policies, and actions can act as a guide as we look toward consequential elections in November. While his political strategies evolved, Lincoln’s core values and beliefs provide Americans today with context, direction, insights, and the wisdom needed to preserve our democracy in the face of authoritarian threats. This talk will show citizens how to prepare for the upcoming vote, identify the key themes and motivations behind each candidate and party, and understand that following a civic roadmap developed by our 16th President can still be an invaluable tool for decision-making in November.
