Featured Speaker Harold Holzer

In the summer of 1858, Abraham Lincoln appeared to have no chance at being considered a candidate, let alone a contender, for the presidency of the United States. His disappointing loss to Democrat Stephen Douglas for the U.S. Senate seat from Illinois seemed to have placed Lincoln in a political hole from which few politicians were ever known to escape. Yet Lincoln would not give up.

Harold Holzer will discuss how Ohio (and, particularly, Cincinnati, the seventh most populous city in the United States at the time) played a crucial role in Lincoln’s comeback and his eventual election to the presidency in 1860.
