Celebrate the Constitution

About this event

Dr. Nicole Etcheson, Alexander M. Bracken Distinguished Professor of History, Ball State University, will lead a timely discussion on the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.

Revising the Work of the Founders: The Reconstruction Era Constitutional Amendments

"The Civil War caused Americans to believe the Founders’ work imperfect. They revised the Constitution, adding amendments to free enslaved people, granting them citizenship and rights, including the vote. Why did the post-Civil War generation write the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments and what are their intended and unintended consequences then and now?”

Come join the conversation and celebrate the 238th Anniversary of the U.S. Constitution.
