President Lincoln was a serious humorist who used humor to help explain his positions, to deflect criticism, and to help himself deal with his own melancholy. Dr. Martin will tell Lincoln’s favorite jokes and then explain them. He will also discuss Lincoln’s slim connections to the Garden State, which was the only state in the Union to cast electoral votes against the Great Emancipator in both presidential elections in 1860 and 1864.
