Authors Series

with Dr. Jonathan White

     Presidential pardons have been used throughout history.  These acts of forgiveness have been controversial at times, but at others have been healing for the nation.

     Dr. White will examine some of Abraham Lincoln’s most important presidential pardons and explore how he used his power to pursue justice and a moral vision for society. Among the cases reviewed will be the famous “Sleeping Sentinel,” the infamous slave trader Nathaniel Gordon, and the Dakota Native Americans who were sentenced to death after the U.S. – Dakota war in 1862.

     Historian Jonathan White is an author of many books and numerous published articles, essays, and reviews.  The Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize was awarded to him in 2023.  Dr. White is a professor of American Studies at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA.
