In spring 2010 the National Humanities Center will host two interactive, online seminars featuring American Experience episodes, Walt Whitman’s Civil War Poetry and Hamilton’s America – Jefferson’s America. In Walt Whitman’s Civil War Poetry, Franny Nudleman, an English professor at Carleton University, will lead an exploration of how Whitman, an antislavery Democrat, incorporated incorporated “the real war” in his poems. Hamilton’s America – Jefferson’s America, led by Peter Onuf, a history professor at the University of Virginia, will examine the distinct visions Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had for the new nation they were founding.
