Lincoln's childhood -- Lincoln as a young adult -- Lincoln enters politics -- Lincoln's presidency.
Summary:
"In 1861, the Civil War was a conflict that threatened to permanently divide the United States. Without President Abraham Lincoln's leadership, courage and determination to maintain the Union, our country may have ceased to exist. From his childhood in Kentucky, to his election as President and his outspoken views against slavery, this program chronicles his life through re-enactments and archival photographs."--Container.
