In 1865, as the American Civil War
winds inexorably toward conclusion,
U.S. president Abraham Lincoln
endeavors to achieve passage of the
landmark constitutional amendment
which will forever ban slavery from the
United States. However, his task is a
race against time, for peace may come
at any time, and if it comes before the
amendment is passed, the returning
southern states will stop it before it can
become law. Lincoln must, by almost
any means possible, obtain enough votes
from a recalcitrant Congress before
peace arrives and it is too late. As the
nation confronts its conscience over the
freedom of its entire population, Lincoln
faces his own crisis of conscience -- end
slavery or end the war.
