“Abra­ham Lin­coln” tells the true sto­ry of Amer­i­ca’s icon­ic 16th pres­i­dent. Across three two-hour episodes, the mini-series immers­es view­ers into the world and sto­ry of Abe before Lin­coln. A young man look­ing to make his mark, Abra­ham Lin­coln grows into the man who puts him­self in a posi­tion to lead the young Unit­ed States through its great­est cri­sis. By weav­ing togeth­er both script­ed drama­ti­za­tions of impor­tant moments in his life and com­men­tary by author­i­ta­tive his­to­ri­ans and pub­lic fig­ures-includ­ing for­mer Pres­i­dent Barack Oba­ma-the series is a por­trait of Lin­coln deter­mined to leave his mark on the world. The series chron­i­cles the evo­lu­tion of Abra­ham Lin­coln as a man and as a thinker against the back­drop of a nation increas­ing­ly torn over the issue of slav­ery. As the war rages on, the series shows how, in part due to the efforts and influ­ence of abo­li­tion­ists like Fred­er­ick Dou­glass, he comes to val­ue the impor­tance of seiz­ing the moment at hand to end slav­ery in Amer­i­ca, once and for all.
