Albay, NY – George S. McGovern a Midwesterner, former U.S. senator, presidential candidate, veteran, and historian by training offers his unique insight into our sixteenth president. He shows how Lincoln sometimes went astray, particularly in his restrictions on civil liberties, but also how he adjusted his sights and transformed the Civil War from a political dispute to a moral crusade.
