With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition commemorates the two-hundredth anniversary of the birth of the nation’s revered sixteenth president. More than a chronological description of the life of Abraham Lincoln, the exhibition reveals Lincoln the man, whose thoughts, words, and actions were deeply affected by personal experiences and crucial historic events.

The following activities were created to accompany an online tour of the Lincoln Exhibit Items displayed through the Library of Congress Web site, or an actual tour of the Lincoln Exhibit at the Newberry Library, from October 10, 2009 to December 19, 2009

Each activity uses analysis and interpretation worksheets to facilitate a greater and deeper understanding of Lincoln and his progress from Illinois prairie lawyer to our 16th President.
