He took his solemn oath to preserve and protect the Constitution seriously while harboring a lifetime commitment against the moral evil that was slavery. Resolving this dilemma required Lincoln to draw on his own moral convictions for motivation and to utilize his considerable political skill to challenge the Constitutional realities that stood in his way. A look at Lincoln\u2019s religious background, the observations of friends and colleagues, and the steps he took as President, provide important insights into the principles and the inspirations that contributed to his ultimate success in destroying slavery while preserving the integrity of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participant Bios:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Michael Toomey is recently retired from Lincoln Memorial University (LMU), where he was Assistant Dean of the Paul V. Hamilton School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and a Professor of History specializing in Tennessee, Appalachian, Native American, and frontier history. Toomey directed LMU\u2019s Lincoln Life and Legacy program, and he co-authored with Charles Hubbard the book <em>In His Words: Readings from the Life of Abraham Lincoln<\/em>. Upon retirement in 2022 Dr. Toomey was presented Lincoln Memorial University\u2019s prestigious Houston Award for Teaching Excellence, which \u201chonors faculty who have exhibited exemplary professional teaching achievements characterized by clear, abundant, persistent demonstration of high standards of teaching.\u201d He has worked previously as Curator of History at the East Tennessee Historical Society (1999-2007), Managing Editor of <em>The Journal of East Tennessee History <\/em>(1999-2010), and Associate Professor of History at Knoxville College (1991-1999), where he was also Dean of Academic Affairs (1997-1999). Dr. Toomey\u2019s educational background includes a Ph.D. in History (The University of Tennessee, 1991), an M.A. in History (The University of Tennessee, 1984), and a B.A. in History (The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, 1980).
