Abraham Lincoln: Preserving the Union

Synopsis

This programme tells the story of Abraham Lincoln, from the rustic childhood that forged his beliefs, to the tough campaign that made him president. Historians examine the difficult leadership choices of his turbulent first term, as well as his bouts with depression and troubled marriage to Mary Todd. Experts untangle a web of murder and kidnapping plots to learn the truth about the complex conspiracy that made Lincoln an American martyr.
