Third Floor Changing Exhibit Gallery

Created by the National Constitution Center, Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War shows how Lincoln’s monumental struggle to save the Union transformed the nation and its Constitution.  The exhibit addresses the three principal constitutional crises of Lincoln’s presidency – the dissolution of the Union, slavery, and the suppression of civil liberties during wartime – and prompts visitors to examine current challenges to constitutional liberties.
