February 2026 Meeting
The lecture explores the legendary constitutional rivalry between President Abraham Lincoln and Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney. The contrasts between the two men could not have been starker. Taney was the product of privilege and an outstanding formal education while Lincoln came from abject poverty and was self-educated. The rivalry began with the Dred Scott decision of 1857 and lasted until Taney’s death in 1864.
