Did you ever wonder how President Abraham Lincoln used the Constitution to confront three intertwined crises of the Civil War: the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties? Examining that question is a traveling exhibition, “Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War,” on display in the Parker Nellis building on the Clarkesville campus of North Georgia Technical College. The traveling exhibition is composed of informative panels featuring photographic reproductions of original documents, including a draft of Lincoln’s first inaugural speech, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment.
