what is illinois? illinois is a free state. my do, there are -- mind you, there were transit laws. transit laws permitted slaveholders, if they have to journey or live for a short period of time, to do so without jeopardizing title to their slaves. emerson was doing more than a quick pass through illinois. even more so, fort snelling is in the minnesota territory. what is the minnesota territory governed by? >> [inaudible] prof. guelzo: no, the northwest ordinance of 1787. it mandated that slavery could not exist in those territories. scott's logic is, i was taken into a free state and lived there not under temporary transit but i lived in i semipermanent -- i lived in a semipermanent position and then i was moved to fort snelling in minnesota. instability legal . -- impossibility. that is the basis of his plea. he goes into the missouri courts and sues for his freedom. if scott had entered this suit 10 or 15 years before, he would probably have been freed by the missouri courts. it was a good and solid plea. not years before. this was 1846 and a lot had changed. when scott appeals

louis and then found his way up the illinois in 1831. while approaching the village of new salem, he overtook a tall man wearing a red flannel shirt and carrying and acts on his shoulder. they fell into conversation and walked into a little grocery store together. the tall man was abraham lincoln, who soon learned that the stranger was a farmer and now out of money. mr. lincoln took him to his boarding house and told the people there of his business and system situation -- and his situation. later lincoln convinced him to settle in springfield. there he married, raised a family, and prospered as a barber to hundreds of men, women, and children, who knew him in daringly as billy the barber. over the years, it is likely that lincoln enjoyed many conversations at the barbershop on east adams street at about new orleans, slavery, and the mississippi river with a bilingual catholic french haitian-american man who became his friend. the conversations would seem to be of substance, and the foundations of a genuine friendship. late in 1863, he w

it might even tip the balance to the republicans in the swing states like indiana and illinois, which had gone for buchanan in 1856, may be a big german vote as population increased and voter eligibility increased could flip them in 1860. so in an episode long overlooked by history, abraham lincoln decides it's not enough to cultivate german newspaper editors, he decided to become a german newspaper editor. [ laughter ] . well, how did he do that? he had a partner, a young german immigrant, a doctor by training, an american citizen for just four years, but already very active in illinois republican politics. he had a newspaper in alton, illinois, and was just about as unwelcome there as elijah lovejoy had been. he seemed shocked that he had no advertisers or readers there. so he decided to move his operations to the state capital to become a statewide german language republican newspaper. as he gets to springfield, something interesting happens. people in illinois get wind of a bill that is being considered in the legislature of perhaps the most progressive state in the country, massa

a professor at illinois university lutheran school. lincoln's oldest son attended class with the reverend. he would frequently call on him to discuss studies because at the time robert was not an enthusiastic student. i bring this up to my students on a number of occasions to tell them that all you need is a little enthusiasm to be that much of a better student. they kind of look at me like you are full of it. lincoln even served on the border of the directors of the school. he had experience as member of the city council. he was an outspoken opponent of slavery. they shared political beliefs, as he became a loyal and consistent supporter of lincoln on the press and on the stump. they were one of the first soldiers involved in the battles of the civil war. lincoln's philosophy was far more complicated than me with that which related to the free labor economy. he was a price of his time an environment, despite whatever economic constituents are represented, irish, dutch it is monolithic. lincoln on the other hand are seated to see every

illinois has often led the way. we built the nation's first elevated electric rail line in the 1800's, but today far more and far too much of that infrastructure is crumbling, in dire need of the investment of society once understood the need for. the down payments previous generations made pay dividends to us all in the form of increased tourism, lower costs and more efficient shipments, easier travel and so many other benefits. if we fail to continue the investments past generations made, we risk falling behind our global competitors. hurting tourism but also our manufacturers and our hardworking ranchers, farmers and producers who will find it harder and more expensive to get products to market. if we choose to disregard our infrastructure much longer, we simply won't be able to compete in the 21st century global economy. improving infrastructure isn't a partisan issue. it's common sense. it's an economic priority, a defense priority, and a national security imperative. this is something we can all work on togeth

during the debates in illinois, a spectator shouted lincoln was being two faced. two faced lincoln claimed? if i had two faces you think i would chose this one? lincoln senior was an essential component of the personality. richard carwardine was educated at corpus christi and queen college oxford and at the university of california berkeley. for three decades he caught history at the university of helpfield before being appointed rose professor of american history and institutions at oxford university. and a fellow of saint kathryn's college. he was elected president of corpus christi oxford college until 2010. he is the author of lincoln a life of purpose and power which was awarded the lincoln pride in 2007. and he is also written the upcoming "lincoln's sense of humor" on which tonight's lecture is based. this year marks the 500th anniversary of corpus christi featuring the college's ma manuscript treasury. ladies and gentlemen, professor richard carwardine.

things picked up after the virginia tech massacre in 2007, followed by northern illinois. the gun lobby started to introduce legislation in a number of states across the country that would change the laws. the laws were that concealed weapons were prohibited by statute on campus or schools can make their own decisions as to the policies, and those laws started to be attacked over the last several years. 2004, you utah in have had one state per year change their laws, for bidding guns on campus or taking that away from schools, the process to decide their policy, and allowing campuses to have guns. now we have 11 states that now allow weapons on campus. we will bemoment, asking viewers whether they support or oppose allowing guns on college campuses. but can you tell us why you oppose having weapons on campus? guest: sure. there are several reasons. campus environments are usually much safer environments than their off-campus counterparts. on-campus crime rates that are compiled, those rates are much lower than off-campus. so you do not have to be armed to protect yourself
