In the 1930s, with the country gripped by the Great Depression and millions of Americans struggling to get by, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Federal Writers' Project under the New Deal as a make-work program for artists and authors. A number of writers, including Zora Neale Hurston and Eudora Welty were dispatched all across America to chronicle the eating habits, traditions, and struggles of local people. The project, called "America Eats," was abandoned in the early 1940s because of the World War and was never completed.

In a surprising turn of events, Andrew Johnson was charged with the reconstruction of the defeated South, including the extension of civil rights and suffrage to African American Southerners. It quickly became clear that the president supported the enactment of “black codes” and would block efforts to force Southern states to guarantee full equality for African Americans, igniting a fierce battle with congressional Republicans.

In his new book on the sixteenth president, former U.S. Senator George McGovern writes that Lincoln’s presidency is the hinge on which American history pivots, the time when the young republic collapsed of its own contradictions and a new birth of freedom, sanctified by blood, created the United States we know today. His story has been told many times, but never by a man who himself sought the office of president and contemplated the awesome responsibilities that come with it. As part of the National Constitution Center’s celebration of the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth, we welcome Senator McGovern for a conversation with moderator Sean Wilentz about one of our nation’s greatest presidents.
