We look at the history of Lincoln, how the image of Lincoln we have today was created from the politician and 16th President to some degree as a cultural icon after his death. And we'll ask if there's too much focus on Lincoln alone in Civil War history. His role as a great President cannot be doubted. Yet there are so many other areas that my lose focus in Civil War history because of the attention on Lincoln. Civil War governors, Union generals, members of Congress and others. Other podcasts in this series will take a look at other aspects of the civil war. And we'll also, talk about Lincoln.
