Saving Democracy, Looking to Lincoln with Allen Guelzo

On October 9th, the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions hosted a lecture with its very own Allen Guelzo, Director, James Madison Program Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship. The lecture was titled "Saving Democracy, Looking to Lincoln", and was part of the Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship. Can democracy in America be saved? One way to answer that question is to look backwards to our greatest time of crisis and to the president, Abraham Lincoln, who navigated us through it. How did Lincoln define democracy? What are its vital features? And what are the particular leadership characteristics he brought to the challenges of the American Civil War? Dr. Allen C. Guelzo is the Thomas W. Smith Distinguished Research Scholar in the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. He is a three-time winner of the Lincoln Prize for his books on Abraham Lincoln, and the New York Times best-selling author of Gettysburg: The Last Invasion. His most recent book is Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy and the American Experiment (Knopf, 2024).
