Abe & Adolf We rightly think of Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler as polar opposites. For most of us, they conjure images of good rather than evil, humility rather than arrogance, a war to liberate the enslaved rather than a war to enslave others. Although their responses differed dramatically, these world-changing figures shared a number of common problems. They both confronted the novelty of mass political parties in young democracies that struggled with national unity. They both worked within the dominant—and highly accepted—notion of race as a key to destiny. Finally, both men commanded huge military forces while waging a war unprecedented in scope and intensity. Join us as we explore these two different men, their divergent philosophies, and their legacies for our time.
