- Introduction
- I'm a patent atty and amateur historian. My website is http://natelevin....
. For more than a year, I've been having a great time organizing this group. The best part is the people who come forward and join in. They're fabulous! - What is your idea of a perfect history meetup? (Feel free to mention more than one idea.)
-
As organizer I want to move the group in whatever direction will make it the most viable. That said, my ideal meetup would be a wide ranging discussion in which we history buffs share our knowledge of different fields of history.
- What areas or kinds of history are you especially interested in?
-
The woman suffrage movement and the civil rights movement are probably my top areas of interest--but I find a lot of other areas interesting as well. If you are interested in talking about an area of history, most likely I'll be glad to listen!

“ Nate, just a little bit more-In theCooperUnion Address(Feb1860
)Lincoln refuted southern claims that the acceptance of slavery in the Constitution showed that the framers believed the fed'l gov't had no right to prohibit slavery. In the Address Lincoln showed that a majority of the 39 signers of the Consitution, thru their votes on various slavery-related bills, believed that the fed'l gov't had every right to prohibit slavery in the territories(which was of course the main Republican position.) ”—Richard Borkow (Apr 16, 2008 10:18 PM) -
“ Nate,thanks for your note.I recallLincoln was asked bef. he bcame presid't"How can youclaim tohate slavery,yet not call for immediate abolition ofthe slaves?"He answ'd"Idetest slavery asmuchas any man.ButConsider
