DESCRIPTION:Saint Xavier University Associate Professor of History Graham
  Peck will explain how Abraham Lincoln's use of nationalism helped to mo
 bilize the North against slavery. Lincoln's portrayal of the antislavery
  movement marked a significant cultural and political shift in the anteb
 ellum North. Although abolitionism had long been criticized as a radical
  and disorganizing crusade\, Lincoln successfully portrayed antislavery 
 politics as a conservative defense of the nation's heritage of freedom a
 nd economic opportunity. His political appeals and leadership were instr
 umental in the triumph of the Republican Party by 1860.\n
