Lincoln the White House, & Spirits

The Lincoln, the White House, the Spirits Did the Lincolns have séances in the White House? Did President and Mary Lincoln seek the services of mediums? If so, they would be in the company of thousands of others due to changes in grieving practices because of the Civil War. Hundreds of thousands of families were unable to be with their loved ones when they passed as was the custom. Therefore, they had no closure. Death on this scale hadn't happened before. This great loss and immense sorrow of so many families contributed to the rise and appeal of Spiritualism. It allowed someone to speak to their deceased loved ones through a medium. In this class, we will consider what is fact and what is fiction. Join us as we discuss this fascinating era in history where so many citizens were touched by the sting of grief and the soothing comfort of Spiritualism.
