Matthew Pinsker<\/a> serves as the principal writer and curator for the “Lincoln and War Powers” online exhibition. His work on this project\u00a0has been made possible by generous institutional support from the Strategic Studies Institute at the US Army War College<\/a>,\u00a0Dickinson College<\/a>\u00a0and the New America Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is part of\u00a0Lincoln’s Writings: The Multi-Media Edition<\/a>, a website created for the “Understanding Lincoln”<\/a> online graduate course (2013, 2014, 2016) which is co-produced by the House Divided Project at Dickinson Colleg<\/a>e and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jeffrey McCausland<\/a> from the Strategic Studies Institute and Dickinson College assisted in organizing and moderating a series of expert panels on “Presidents at War” in June and July 2014 that have been essential in providing content and context to this exhibition. \u00a0Special thanks to the panelists: \u00a0John Altenburg, Sidney Blumenthal, Conrad Crane, Kimberly Dozier, Paul Eaton, Louis Fisher, Linda Mason, and Thom Shanker. \u00a0A brief profile of each panelist is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An exchange during an earlier panel, however, for the “Understanding Lincoln” course helped inspire this exhibition (and is now featured in the Chronology of Powers pathway). \u00a0Panelists Michael Lind, Richard Norton Smith, James Swanson, and Craig Symonds engaged in a fascinating\u00a0back-and-forth over war powers\u00a0during a 2013 C-SPAN televised debate\u00a0on the provocative topic of “What Would Lincoln Do?” which served as a forum for exploring how Lincoln’s legacy has been used and abused by modern-day politicians. \u00a0A brief profile of each panelist from the 2013 session is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from Matthew Pinsker’s previous writings on war powers have also been adapted for elements of this exhibition, including: \u201cThe Limits of Presidential War Powers,\u201d ABA Insights <\/em>magazine (Winter 2009);\u201cWould Abe Lincoln Be Into Drones?\u201d Zocalo Public Square<\/em> (5\/6\/13);\u00a0“Abraham Lincoln and the Obligations of International Law,\u201d SSI Articles<\/em> (6\/13\/13); and \u201cObama Fails Lincoln Lesson on Syria,\u201d USA Today, <\/em>11\/11\/13.<\/p>\n

Several K-12 educators who have participated in the “Understanding Lincoln” online graduate course have also had their work or insights featured within this exhibition, including Mary Beth Donnelly, Richard Ochoa, Evan Oftedal, Tammie Senders, Cynthia Smith, and Michael VanWambeke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
