Summary
In this, the 3rd of a 4 part discussion with Dr. Wilfred M. McClay, Charlie and Dr. McClay discuss the legacy of perhaps America's greatest president, Abraham Lincoln.
How did the Missouri Compromise and the "fire bell in the night" challenge the 16th U.S. President? How could the issue of slavery possibly continue without resolution until the Civil War? How was the Mexican American War crucial in laying out the precursors to the American Civil War? And finally, how did Lincoln preserve and defend the rule of law and the Constitution itself? All of this and more is covered on todays' special Hillsdale College partnership episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.
