The Last Night of Abraham Lincoln - Part 2: Immortality | History Documentary
Watch 'The Last Night of Abraham Lincoln - Part 1' 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.

“It was my dream to put an end to slavery and to reunite America after this bloody war but the country is so full of hatred and my enemies are everywhere the country waits with baited breath as the hunt for my assassin draws to a close” Lincoln's wife Mary had been sitting beside him when Booth opened fire it's a traumatic experience from which she will never recover

"Abraham Lincoln believed that slavery was wrong morally and politically, and that it should not be allowed to spread further in the United States. He also said that he should not object if slavery gradually ended throughout the Union. Lincoln believed that the Constitution forbids interfering with slavery in states where it already exists, and that the general welfare does not require it." "However, he also said that he could save the Union without freeing any slaves, and that he would do so if he could."

@maryrhudy9250 Год назад

I have to correct you guys on one point. Mary Sarat was NOT the first woman executed in America. That dubious honour goes s far back as the girl Francis Silver in North Carolina in the 1830s. She was charged with murder after having killed her husband, Charlie Silver after he threatened to shoot their child if she didn't shut up. Under the laws at the time, she was not allowed to testify in her own defense and was unable to explain why she had killed Charlie. After local women, who were visiting her out of kindness, learned the whole story, word spread throughout the country, and numerous appeals were made on her behalf. The Governor was running for re-election at the time and refused to overturn the verdict so that she could have a new trial. Their child survived and was placed with Charlie Silver's family.

Mary Surratt was the first woman executed by the federal government.

@charlesmccormick585 Год назад

Mary, there are many errors in this film (artistic license I guess). There should have been a qualifier when Mary Surratt was mentioned as the first woman executed. Mary was the first woman executed by the Federal Government. It is nice to know others (such as yourself) have an interest in American history and care about accuracy. Best wishes.

@jeffmilroy9345 10 месяцев назад

Realizing there are always two sides to every story - it seems pretty extreme to threaten to shoot one's own child. I am always beguiled by the fact a couple goes to the trouble to get married yet ends up on the rocks like that. And executing a woman with a child to rear? Something rotten in Denmark. We need more details please.

Booth was an evil genius… he planned and timed the murder to the second … knowing the lines of the play. What the audience reaction is , sound effects. Only thing that he didn’t anticipate was his faulty leap onto the stage . What baffles me is why in the presidential box and during the play ? Booth knew the theater well . He could’ve shot during entrance, exit , chariot ride to from the theater. Perhaps even a better escape afterward. Never during any stage of my public schooling did I hear of the wider conspiracy: vp, secretaries targeted etc . Neither the hanging of other conspirators. Only afterwards and via media outlets I learned of this. Ie whats secrets are there regarding jfk mlk rfk ??? And Malcolm too !

@robertschumann7737 8 месяцев назад

Lincoln was never a senator. He came very near in 1855 but lost by 5 votes. That was when the state legislators elected the US Senators. Lincoln was a one term congressman. Its rather amazing that he became President. Before Trump Lincoln was probably the president with the least amount of experience. He got the job for his firebrand speeches condeming slavery. Lincoln was the first president to be successfully assassinated but not the first attempt. Andrew Jackson very nearly was assinated. The assassin came up to him with his pistol out and click misfire so he pulled out his second pistol click misfire. Then Jackson proceeded to beat him senseless with his walking stick. Another mistake you made was Lincoln never wanted equal rights for all. He completely and totally believed in the superiority of whites. He considered blacks to be 3/4 of a white man and the Chinese to be 1/2. I think you need to go all the way to somone like Woodrow Wilson to get a president who saw all men as equal. Even though its written very plainly by our founding fathers. At the time blacks were not seen as men though. They were property to almost all of the founding fathers sans Jefferson and probably Franklin.

@-oiiio-3993 8 месяцев назад

Both Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were most assuredly slaveowners as is well documented.

@mr-x7689 5 месяцев назад

Lincoln never wanted to end slavery, nor seamed to care especially much about it. It was just an side effect of the outcome of the war. The man even said it him selfe. Tho i dont remember the quote. It was somthing in the style of "If we could had won the war, whitout freeing a single slave it would still had been a good outcome" or somthing. But hey lets wash history, and its players as better than they realy where. After all, we live in a time where Osama Binladen is seen a s a hero in the west, and Terrorists in Palestine as victimes, even tho they are activly killing innocent civilians, and hiding in civilian infrastructure.

NY was always as racist as the south. Even during the war. Especially the group known as The Know Nothings and their many follows. And their racism wasn't just reserved for the blacks. They hated any one that wasn't white English decent that wasn't born in America by a fighting family that fought for their independence. For the rest of the New Yorkers The blacks and the newly arrived Irish from the potato famine got the worst but other groups like the Italians and gypsies also received much hatred.

It was over slavery, more specifically the moral issue of it.

@jeffmilroy9345 10 месяцев назад

It was complicated but primarily over the perceived threat of freeing the slaves without compensating slave owners for the economic loss. "Taking" without compensation was and is supposed to be unconstitutional. A large portion of the economy of the south was built around slavery. Fortunes rode on the outcome of Lincoln's election. The abolitionists should have backed compensation for both slave; and, slave holder to properly fix the problem when they had the chance - but it would have been a very tough political sell. Slavery should have been addressed at the time the constitution was ratified. Tons of open land needed to be settled for decades to come and could have been given to former slaves. Freeing just one slave cost someone about $1000-$2000 back then. (estimated value of a slave in present day money is about $36,000). Walk up to most citizens today and tell them you are taking $36,000 out of their hide. I am guessing you will have a big fight on your hands.
