Professor Richard Carwardine presents the 2013 Sulgrave Manor Watson Chair Lecture.
He will illuminate how President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation of 1863 - which signalled that the war to restore the Union had become a struggle for a more profound freedom - asked trenchant questions of Union loyalism of the Irish American community.
