Exhibit to examine Lincoln’s quest for answers
October 20, 2009 | Posted by javal The Nebraska Supreme Court State Library is hosting the traveling exhibition, “Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War.”
Opening ceremony is 2 p.m. Sunday in the Capitol Rotunda.

How could a country founded on the belief “all men are created equal” tolerate slavery? In a national crisis, would civil liberties be secure?
