Mr. Lincoln’s Virtual Library is a collection of Abraham Lincoln’s papers and a collection of sheet music about Lincoln, the Civil War, and emancipation. The collection of sheet music is what caught my attention as talking about music is a good way to start classroom discussions about culture and public opinion during the Civil War.To find more documents about Lincoln, visit the Presidents page on Archives.gov.
