I think the defining event in Whitman's life was the civil war and the events both preceeding and succeeding it. Whitman was born in 1819 and died in 1892. That would mean he was born when James Monroe was president ( 1817-1825). He would lived during the presidencies of, among others, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and died during the presidency of Benjamin Harrison.You can find a complete list of the presidents at the link below. Posted by ms-mcgregor on Jan 26, 2009. |
