Description
You're about to be an eyewitness to the ten crucial days in Abraham Lincoln's life, including:
- A tragic loss that sets a boy on a course for greatness
- A career sacrificed to protest an unjust war
- A state resorting to treason to preserve slavery
- A president who learns the most difficult decisions are made alone
- And a promise made to every citizen that American's salves will be free.
These days and five others shook Lincoln's world - and yours.
