“Abraham Lincoln and American Immigration”

The CWRTDC and LGDC are delighted to continue its tradition to host a joint in-person/hybrid meeting to celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday week

Mr. Holzer will speak on the topic of “Abraham Lincoln and American Immigration,” based on his just released book, Brought Forth on This Continent: Abraham Lincoln and American Immigration.

In the three decades before the Civil War, some ten million foreign-born people settled in the United States, forever altering the nation’s demographics, culture, and—perhaps most significantly—voting patterns. America’s newest residents not only fueled the national economy, but they also wrought enormous changes in the political landscape and exposed an ugly, at times violent, vein of nativist bigotry.
