It’s election day in the United States today. I encourage my American friends and colleagues to vote for your preferred candidates. It’s one of the most precious rights.

Bad news, my application to Northern State University has not gone forward. We always miss every shot we don't take. Moving on to my next project.

On this day, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. In it, he declared free people enslaved in the rebel states except for areas under Union control. It was one of the important milestones in the War of the Rebellion.

My latest publication arrived today. I contributed an essay on Lincoln and the Border States to the Wiley Companion on the 16th President. It was an honor to stand amidst a gathering of talented scholars.

After much deliberation, I chose to support Norway in today's World Cup Semi-final. I love England but I also love Scandinavia. Allt for Norge! #norway #norge #worldcup

Great news! My next article will appear in the Fall edition of The Lincoln Herald. It is entitled ""These Absurd Conclusion: Abraham Lincoln and the Constitutionality of West Virginia." It will be the second time that I published two works in one year - the last was 2017.

I booked my flights and hotel for the Society of Civil War Historians conference in Richmond in June. It’ll be my first time presenting at the big one but I’ll have a chance to hang out with the cool kids. @SoCWHistorians
