Before becoming one of America’s greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln had a long career as a businessman, lawyer, government official and elected representative for the state of Illinois. This film looks at the rise of this self-educated statesman, including his famous series of public debates over slavery with rival Stephen Douglas. A glimpse is also shown of some of the more personal aspects of his Lincoln’s life, including the early romance and heartbreak he experienced with Ann Rutledge, and his later marriage to Mary Todd. |
