Presentation 3:
Michael Vorenberg, Brown University
“The Fourteenth Amendment as an Act of War”

Michael Vorenberg received his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral fellow at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard. He was an assistant professor of history at the State University of New York at Buffalo and began teaching at Brown University in 1999. His first book, Final Freedom: The Civil War, the Abolition of Slavery, and the Thirteenth Amendment (Cambridge University Press, 2001) was a finalist for the Lincoln Prize and was used liberally for Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln (2012). Currently, he is at work on books about the ending of the Civil War and the impact of the Civil War on American citizenship. He has published numerous essays and articles on topics ranging from Lincoln’s plans for the colonization of African Americans to the meaning of rights and privileges under the Fourteenth Amendment. From 2004 to 2007, Vorenberg was a member of Brown University’s Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
