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.
