SANDWICHED IN: Lincoln’s Foreign Policy. Join Professor Scott Cairns, adjunct professor of History and Political Science at Long Island University’s C. W. Post Campus, for an overview of the geo-political situation during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln ’s foreign policy has received little attention, yet the President and Secretary of State Seward were confronted with many serious challenges throughout the Civil War period. Potential flash-points for war included Canadian and Anglo-American relations, as well as French and Mexican-American relations, to name a few. The subject of international law, freedom of the seas and commerce were an ever-present source of anxiety for Lincoln and his government. 12:10 p.m.
