Historian/ Educator Michael Hogan with his Advanced Placement US History class that inspired him to research and write his book “Abraham Lincoln and Mexico”
During the past year, educators in more than 400 schools have received a copy of Abraham Lincoln and Mexico from the Lincoln and Mexico Project (LAMP) as supplemental classroom material.
The book by historian/ educator Michael Hogan examines historical relations between the USA and Mexico in the 1840s-1860s by focusing on Abraham Lincoln’s support for Mexico as congressman and president. It’s great way for educators to stimulate classroom discussion because it includes archival documents that contain facts textbooks often distort or marginalize.
“It is an excellent resource for use in the classroom,” stated Professor Megan Lange of Santa Ana College in her online H-FedHist review praising the inclusion of primary source documents and Internet links for endnotes. “At just under two hundred pages of text Abraham Lincoln and Mexico is concise but minces no words and, in an era of ugly political rhetoric and wall building at the border, is ever so timely.”
LAMP provides the award-winning 2016 eBook version to classroom teachers at no cost for educational purposes, and to evaluate the content before ordering paid print versions for social studies courses. Several high schools and colleges are already using the book, and some high school educators have also requested the three-act student play as additional material along with lesson plans based on the book and the play. If you know an educator who might be interested in obtaining the free eBook without obligation, just send an email to lamp@lincolnandmexicoproject.org and we’ll follow up.
In the USA, the book is already in 390 schools in 39 states plus the District of Columbia. It’s also in another 22 international schools in Mexico, Bangladesh, Belarus, China, Egypt, Germany, Pago Pago, and South Korea. Here’s the list of schools with the book as of Feb. 28, 2019:
