Lincoln's Dilemma

Synopsis

Insights from a diverse range of journalists, educators and Lincoln scholars, as well as rare archival materials, offer a more nuanced look into the man dubbed the Great Emancipator. The narratives of enslaved people shape a more complete view of an America divided over issues including economy, race and humanity, and underscore Lincoln’s battle to save the country, no matter the cost. Based on acclaimed historian David S. Reynolds’ award-winning book, “Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times”.
