Schemel Forum Luncheon - Who was the Greater American, George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?
Wednesday, 21 October, 2015
The Schemel Forum World Affairs Luncheon Series
Who was the Greater American, George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?
Morey M. Myers, Of Counsel, Myers, Brier & Kelly, LLP
Washington and Lincoln are considered to be our greatest presidents. Do you agree? If so, which do you think was the greater? Does greatness in our leaders require a national crisis? What were the challenges that Washington and Lincoln confronted prior to and during their presidencies? Can you compare a president of a fledgling nation in the 18th century with one attempting to preserve a greatly expanded one in the 19th century? An examination of their respective strengths and weaknesses may help us to decide. Your opinions will be welcome.
