SUMMARY:54th Annual Throckmorton Memorial Lecture in History
DESCRIPTION:"Mourning Lincoln: The Assassination and the Meaning of the C
ivil War" \;Lecture to be given by NYU Professor of History\, Martha
Hodes When President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865\, ju
st days after Union victory\, it seemed the whole world was in mourning.
Massive crowds turned out for services and ceremonies\, and countless exp
ressions of grief were printed in newspapers and preached in sermons. But
that was only part of the story. Public responses to Lincoln's assassina
tion have been well chronicled\, but prizewinning historian Martha Hodes
is the first to delve into personal and private responses—of African Am
ericans and white\, Yankees and Confederates\, men and women\, soldiers a
nd civilians\, rich and poor\, the well-known and the unknown. Taking us
far beyond the headlines\, Hodes has read hundreds of diaries\, letters\
, and other personal writings from that fateful spring and summer\, to te
ll a story not only of shock and sorrow\, but also of glee\, anger\, blam
e\, fear\, and hope. Illuminating the nation's first presidential assassi
nation on a human scale\, Hodes brings to life a key moment of national u
ncertainty\, when conflicting visions of the country's future proved irre
concilable. Black freedom\, the fate of former Confederates\, and the mea
ning of the Civil War were at stake for everyone\, whether they grieved o
r rejoiced when they heard the news. \;

When President Abraham Linc
oln was assassinated in April 1865\, just days after Union victory\, it s
eemed the whole world was in mourning. Massive crowds turned out for serv
ices and ceremonies\, and countless expressions of grief were printed in
newspapers and preached in sermons. But that was only part of the story.
Public responses to Lincoln's assassination have been well chronicled\, b
ut prizewinning historian Martha Hodes is the first to delve into persona
l and private responses—of African Americans and white\, Yankees and Co
nfederates\, men and women\, soldiers and civilians\, rich and poor\, the
well-known and the unknown.
Taking us far beyond the headli
nes\, Hodes has read hundreds of diaries\, letters\, and other personal w
ritings from that fateful spring and summer\, to tell a story not only of
shock and sorrow\, but also of glee\, anger\, blame\, fear\, and hope. I
lluminating the nation's first presidential assassination on a human scal
e\, Hodes brings to life a key moment of national uncertainty\, when conf
licting visions of the country's future proved irreconcilable. Black free
dom\, the fate of former Confederates\, and the meaning of the Civil War
were at stake for everyone\, whether they grieved or rejoiced when they h
eard the news.
