The Moral Pivot: • The journey toward the Emancipation Proclamation, shifting the conflict from a war for union to a crusade for freedom. The Final Act: • A vision for national healing cut short at Ford’s Theatre. Themes of Transformation More than a list of dates, this is a study in resilience and empathy.
