About this Event
In this program Lincoln (portrayed by Howard Wright) focuses on the last fourteen months of his presidency, beginning with the appointment of Lt. General U.S. Grant commander of the Union army. During Lincoln’s last year, Victories by Generals propel Lincoln to a successful presidential re-election, Lincoln plays a behind-the-scenes role in getting Congress to approve the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, and Lincoln’s wish that the country would be restored and united with “a benevolent goodwill to all” is immortalized in his Second Inaugural Address. Re-live history with this historical re-enactment of the life of our 16th President.
