This huge, impressive exhibition shows how Abraham Lincoln’s momentous struggle to save the Union transformed our nation and Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) was the 16th President of the United States. He successfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. As the war was drawing to a close, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.
The exhibit explores several key themes across American history, including whether the states were truly “united,” and how our nation dealt with the issues of slavery and civil liberties for all.
This interesting exhibit features Abraham Lincoln’s bed and bedroom set from the Monongahela House, the downtown Pittsburgh hotel that hosted the president-elect en route to his inauguration on Feb. 14, 1861.
