| | We talked a little bit about this on Tuesday, but I still find it striking that people molded Lincoln in whatever they saw fit to their needs and how there are so many differing views on who Lincoln was and what he stood for. Why do you think Lincoln's image (opposed to other historical figures and Civil War figures) was (and still is) molded and shaped into so many different meanings? -ABratchie | | We talked a little bit about this on Tuesday, but I still find it striking that people molded Lincoln in whatever they saw fit to their needs and how there are so many differing views on who Lincoln was and what he stood for.

| − | Throughout the work, Ferguson highlights how Lincoln is now a commodity in a sense (museums, trails, etc). For example, Ferguson quotes Antigoni, "Put Liconln's name on it, and you can sell anything." (198) Do you think the comodification of Lincoln's image and memory is important? Does this affect the way he is viewed in relation to the Civil War, and what is lost in this comodification of Lincoln? -ABratchie | + | Throughout the work, Ferguson highlights how Lincoln is now a commodity in a sense (museums, trails, etc).
