description

The theme for this Symposium is "The Worlds of Thaddeus Stevens & James Buchanan: Race, Gender & Politics in the Civil War Era." LancasterHistory.org has scheduled the Symposium for September 18-19, 2015. Keynote historians, Bruce C. Levine, Ph.D. of the University of Illinois and James Oakes, Ph.D. of the City University of New York, will join moderator, Randall Miller, Ph. D. of St. Joseph's University in a conversation about Buchanan's and Stevens's Political World & the Effect of Borders. The Symposium will use Congressman Stevens and President Buchanan as unique lenses to look at nineteenth-century American political history through an in-depth examination of party formation and re-formation; slavery, race and civil rights; and the role of gender in nineteenth-century politics. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with three moderated panels of historians on the second day of the Symposium.
