The Last Night of Abraham Lincoln - Part 1: Assassination | History Documentary
Watch 'The Last Night of Abraham Lincoln - Part 2' here: • The Last Night of Abra...
Abraham Lincoln is the embodiment of the 'American Dream.' His vision of a free America united in peace and the abolishment of slavery made him an icon and a legend.
This two-part docu-drama tells the fascinating story of Abraham Lincoln and his murderer John Wilkes Booth. The assassin who planned the murder of the President like a Shakespearian plot. Lincoln is portrayed by Fritz Klein and Booth by Brian J. Merrick.
"Lincoln's Last Night" was shot at spectacular locations across the United States. A cast of more than 80 historical actors creates an authentic image of Lincoln's America. The Presidential office in the White House was staged at Centre Hill Mansion in Petersburg, Virginia. The Ford's Theater box reconstruction was one of many locations around Richmond, Virginia used extensively - with further scenes filmed at the historic Strasburg, Pennsylvania Railroad, and at the original and recently restored summer residence of the Lincoln Family in rural D.C.

Abraham Lincoln is the embodiment of the 'American Dream.' His vision of a free America united in peace and the abolishment of slavery made him an icon and a legend. Lincoln's ideas resulted in many casualties during the Civil War and eventually put him in the line of fire himself. I have to say this docu drama touched me. I’d never realized what huge challenges Lincoln faced. A young nation caught up in a civil war..and the way he dealt with it. Truly inspiring and I felt very sad for his fate. I’m mentioning this because of course I learned about Lincoln in school. I just wish I’d seen something like this sooner. Anyway, hope you like it too.

Mostra como a vida e no seu mais triste momento de se viver.. Mostra a verdade de um homem justo honesto sabedor de todas as coisas do bem para com o próximo.. Eu daria tudo para estar nessa época nesse momento perto desse grande homem que foi o Mestre Abraham Lincoln... Aqui fica os meus sinceros agradecimentos desse grande documentário feito por Free Documentary History

@Kim-mz8co Год назад

Not historically accurate. The timing of events, what really happened, what was being said during the play at Ford's Theater, and people present are noticeably altered. A disclaimer regarding historical accuracy came at the end of Part One (that should have been offered at the beginning) just as I was getting fed up with the inaccuracies. Too bad. "History Documentary" is misleading at best,

I agree. It’s sloppy and dumbed down, which doesn’t do true history any Justice.

@timward3116 Год назад

Technical note (based on everything I've read and seen): There was only one actor (Harry Hawk) on the stage at the time Lincoln was shot, the actress having just exited. He had just recited, "Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal; you sockdologizing old man-trap!" The audience was roaring in laughter when the gun went off.

@timward3116 4 месяца назад

@@TheChoralist Ha-ha. I used to have a professor who used to say, "You can amuse your little friends with that at your wine and cheese parties." For some reason, certain things about the 1860s just fascinate me... and it wasn't the war strategy. It was more the people, the architecture, furniture, and the Lincoln assassination. There is a great movie that was directed by Robert Redford called "The Conspirator" (probaby still free on RU-vid). It was about Mary Surratt, the owner of the boarding house where Booth and the conspirators conspired. She was the first woman executed in the US. GREAT movie. I think you would like it (since you watched this video).

18:46 the Emancipation Proclamation did not end Slavery. The 4 "border" states would be allowed to keep their slaves. And if any of the slave states that joined the Confederacy came back into the Union before January 1, 1863, they could keep their slaves. It was the 13th amendment that ended slavery for good.

@timward3116 Год назад

Lincoln did have a life-long history of opposing slavery, but he appears to have been pragmatic enough to know that the war could not be won, and slavery could not be abolished completely throughout a united or divided country, if he attempted to do it all at once. He could not afford to lose any more states to the South. It would have been strategically assinine and poltically/militarily suicidal to proclaim them ALL free while the war was going on. He had to be smart about it. At any rate, according to historians, the abolition of slavery and the possibility that blacks would one day even be able to vote was a major motivation for Booth, and Lincoln paid for it with his life. Any racist dimwits who try to rewrite Lincoln as some sort of enemy of black people should read about Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Keckley, and other black people at the time, who clearly came to love Lincoln.

YT has strict guidelines. It’s the choice of having some blurs but still with all the complete uncensored spoken information versus not showing, for example, a WWII documentary at all. We apologize to those who are frustrated by this measure but we assure you that we only do so in order to comply with RU-vid's moderation guidelines. Free Documentary will always stand for the values of open and accessible information.

@Mr508films 10 месяцев назад

It';s history in all its horror, no need to censor it. YT needs to get with it. They allow graphic violent videos of shootings but demand you blur out photos of dead soldiers.from the Civil war. One photo from Gettysburg was even staged for the camera. Maybe you should have done. better job of researching your information. a lot of mistakes

@xaviercardoza1230 Год назад

The Glass Plate Negative photo was NOT the last photo of Abraham Lincoln. The last photo was him looking to his left in a three-quarters view. The glass plate negative photo was done on February 5, 1865. The last photo was done on March 6, 1865.

Blurring out the dead from battlefields was totally unnecessary. These are well documented historical events - images that have been published in books, shown in movies, TV documentaries as well as on the internet. It's as if you are trying to hide or erase pivotal historical events. It's part of history. It's part of war. Nothing should be erased or hidden. All of history, its affects, rewards and tragedy should always be seen so we never forget, and never repeat.

@mistervacation23 9 месяцев назад

In new Rome there walked three men, a Judas, a Brutus and a spy. Each planned that he should be the king when Abraham should die. One trusted not the other but they went on for that day, waiting for that final moment when with pistol in his hand, one of the sons of Brutus should sneak behind that cursed man and put a bullet in his brain and lay his clumsy corpse away... But alas, as fate would have it Judas slowly fell from grace, and with him went Brutus down to their proper place. But lest one is left to wonder what has happened to the spy, I can safely tell you this, it is I.

No and also, they just carry him after being shot. Before being relocated to the Petersen House, he was attended by a doctor who happens to be at the theater, Dr Charles Leale. They didn’t use a stretcher to carry him as Dr Leale, with the help of two doctors and four soldiers, carry Lincoln (still wearing his coat and shirt, but the tie has been cut off and the front of his shirt was ripped open for Dr Leale to inspect knife wounds)

Is history is it s related it true? . We speak of Elizabeth and Phillip. But when it speaks of Abraham Lincoln was he ever dead at the year stated in history , and where was his death actually accured?. Was his assassination on an island in the Carribbean and possible in a remote area. Which may seems like a remote area as early as in the mid seventies . He's words , leave the door open " and at who's hand he suffered death?.is it the 18th or 19th century when he s talk about. Because this face will not be in existance in the 70ts 1970ts , except if someone is protraiting himself as him. I would be in my early teens as thirteen to fourteen years . Between twelve and fourteen . The ver same figure portraits here. 1968 / 1973.

What a lazy comment. President Lincoln is one of my very favorite historical figures but there were many prominent people who would have made comments like yours about him during his lifetime.

In his first election Lincoln got one of the lowest percentages of the popular vote in history. They called him “the baboon in the White House”.
