On September 17th, 2012, National Constitution Day, the National Endowment for the Humanities hosted a panel of renowned Civil War scholars at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History for a discussion about Emancipation. Historians Eric Foner (Columbia University), Thavolia Glymph (Duke University), Gary Gallagher (University of Virginia) and Christy Coleman (American Civil War Center) recreated the national scene and the dilemmas facing Americans on Sept. 22, 1862 without drawing on their knowledge of what would unfold over the next few months and years. Join us to view the video of this panel discussion.
