13TH ANNUAL PRESIDENTIAL SYMPOSIUM

Sunday, February 27, 2022

2-4 p.m.

HistoryMiami Museum Theater

Lincoln, the Civil War, and Native Americans

The Civil War era pit North against South and pro-slavery against anti-slavery factions, and ultimately revolutionized relations between Black and white people – but Native Americans were swept up in the war, too. They chose sides, expressed their own views on the slavery question and served in the armed forces. And on one momentous occasion, a delegation of tribal chiefs made history by meeting in the White House with President Abraham Lincoln.
