lincoln. he comes to symbolize what we want ourselves to be. and what's interesting about this is that different groups do this in very different ways. so we can see for instance that lincoln is used by very different social groups, very different social movements in different ways. conservatives for instance tend to imagine and represent lincoln as kind of a warthog, as a proponent of neoliberal capitalism where progressives tend to picture him as dovish, as a champion of social justice and civil rights. so very very different visions of lincoln. we can see this dramatically for instance in the way it was used by the american civil rights movement and the kkk. the american civil rights movement has sort have been joined to lincoln's memory in many significant ways. if you go to the lincoln memorial in look at the educational galleries here you will see that there is often a direct line on linking lincoln with dr. king. lincoln was the beginning of the modern civil rights movement so we see th

lincoln was a busy man so hesler came to make new images of abraham lincoln. but hessler print which is reproduced here is one of those images, originally glass plates were taken, unfortunately the two that still survived under the smithonian institute were chattered. prior to that time, he hessler had made images, two of which came to the historical society which placed them on deposit here at bradley university. as you can see in the portrait here lincoln has his hair combed and suit pressed and looks distinguished, although with a little bit roughens around the edges he did make a good image for political ribbons and campaign posters of the time to be distributed during 1860 campaign and this became a very famous image of mr. lincoln. image of lincoln proved successful in the use -- for the use of campaign memorabilia. beardless clinton because he didn't grow his beard after he was in the white house. bradley university is proud to have items in our collection to preserve them for prosperity and make them available for both use locally and on a wider perspe

your version of lincoln and my version of lincoln i think are pretty much in sync. i did argue that lincoln's famous gettysburg address was aspirational. this is what we ought to become. lincoln kind of lost the extent to which the founding fathers were already on board with what lincoln wanted to see happen. but we should remember he has good political motive for doing so. we're not trying to cause some great disturbance. we stand with the founding fathers, with george washington and thomas jefferson. they want to limit the spread of slavery, they want to limit the spread of slavery, so lincoln wanted to portray himself as a good constitutional conservative and also was an idealist who aspired for himself and his country that there be something better and that the future sort of possibilities that were suppressed under the situation that existed during his life. >> thank you. >> i would like to know why it's called the civil war and not a war of secession. >> for the most part, northerners during the war talked about the rebellion, the war of the rebellion. and sou

lincoln. you can always go with lincoln in illinois. almost every city in this state has a lincoln story. peoria's is interesting, because lincoln didn't visit that much in peoria, especially when he was a lawyer here in the state before becoming president. this was not in his eighth judicial circuit, so he didn't come to peoria that often. but he is known for the one speech he did here, in 1854, called "the peoria speech" where he basically said that slavery was wrong on every level, and that speech has become synonymous with lincoln and peoria. they have that connection. there was another connection. we went further into charles lindbergh, who used to, months before he became the most famous pilot in the world, he was flying airmail on a route from st. louis all the way to chicago, springfield, and peoria where some of his stops. he had some harrowing flights over peoria. we get into that in the book. one-story, about alexander hamilton's's son, wyndham hamilton, who was here as a surveyor,
