TAH.org and NCSS have partnered to provide a series of three webinars concerning the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and the change in the Constitution that they represented and did not represent. We will seek to understand these amendments within the Constitution’s basic structure to see how they fix problems endemic to the Constitution, while also understanding these amendments in their immediate context as vehicles to bring peace and protection for freedmen at the end of the Civil War. We will look at the layers of context and the immediate effects of these amendments-and also why they failed to secure their goals in the years immediately following the Civil War.
Even though you may have missed the first webinar this past Tuesday there's still time to register for the remaining two installments now.
Time: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm ET / 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm PT
Presenter: Scott Yenor, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Political Science, Boise State University, Idaho; partner faculty member, Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs, Ashland University, Ohio.
Series Fee: $60 NCSS members / $150 NCSS non-members
Graduate credit: Available at an additional fee through Ashland University. More details will be provided in registrant notification.
