				<description><![CDATA[February 12, 2009, marks the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of 
Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln bicentennial is a good time to reflect on 
Lincoln and his contributions to American constitutionalism and 
citizenship. It provides a particularly good opportunity for teachers to 
introduce their students to Lincoln's legacy. In this month's podcast, 
the Center for Civic Education presents a reading of the full text of a 
lesson for high school students on Abraham Lincoln's legacy as president 
during a troubled time in the history of the United States. The lesson, 
"What Was Abraham Lincoln's Legacy to American Constitutionalism and 
Citizenship?" was written by John J. Patrick, Professor Emeritus of 
Education at Indiana University. The lesson and its companion website, 
Lincoln.civiced.org, traces the rise of Lincoln from his humble 
beginnings to the presidency. It also examines Lincoln's ideas and 
decisions regarding slavery and the use of presidential power to 
preserve the Federal Union during the Civil War.
