DAR Celebration 238th Anniversary of the Constitution -- Revising the Work of the Founders 6pm to 7:30pm @ Muncie Public Library - Maring-Hunt Library Meeting Room 2005 S. High Street
All are invited to a presentation by distinguished BSU Alexander M. Bracken Professor of History, Dr. Nicole Etcheson who will delve into Revising the Work of the Founders: The Reconstruction-Era Constitutional Amendments.
"The Civil War caused Americans to believe that the Founders' work had been imperfect. They revised the Constitution by adding amendments to free enslaved people, granting them citizenship and rights, including the vote. Why did the post-Civil War generation write the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments?"
Sponsored by the Paul Revere Chapter (Daughters of the American Revolution) celebrating Constitution Week (September 17-23).
