SUMMARY:Deploying the Past to Change the Future
DESCRIPTION:Afternoon Lecture Series \nPrior to the Civil War\, United States reformers and activists of the time were intensely debating in the public press this question: should slavery be abolished?  One of their popular persuasive techniques was to harken back to accounts of slavery in ancient Greece and Rome to convince readers of their particular view on the issue of slavery.  Dr. McInnis’ research of this time uncovers the competing narratives that these antebellum leaders and commentators invoked around a set of well-known ancient Roman reformers Tiberius and Caius Gracchus.  Gaining an appreciation for these conflicting visions of the past can reveal to us now a deeper understanding of the complex ways that nineteenth-century Americans envisioned their emergent republic and the role of slavery within it. \nThis installment of the Afternoon Lecture Series will feature speaker Dr. Edward McInnis. \nClick here to see the upcoming Lectures
