PLOT
Marked by polar opposites, this hour scrutinizes a fractious era of the
presidency--from Taylor to Lincoln--one of the most turbulent in U.S. history,
when the volatile issues of states' rights and slavery erupted in civil war.
We highlight the rough-hewn style of Zachary Taylor, the second president to
die in office, through the compromising weaknesses of Millard Fillmore and
Franklin Pierce (Barbara Pierce Bush's fourth cousin four times removed), the
near-treasonous James Buchanan administration, to Abraham Lincoln, savior of
the republic to some, destroyer of the nation to others. The episode ends with
the first presidential assassination on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, when
Southern sympathizer and actor John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln in the head at
Ford's Theater in Washington during a performance of Our American Cousin.
RELEASE NOTES
The Gettysburg Address
Nov. 19, 1863
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great
battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final
resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. This we
may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and
dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or
detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task
remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that
this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the
people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
