Heroes of History - Abraham Lincoln: A New Birth of Freedom

Abraham Lincoln had never set his sights on becoming president; after all, he'd grown up in a log cabin on the frontier and had hardly any formal schooling. But as the question of slavery threatened to destroy the United States, this self-taught lawyer with a sharp mind and passion for justice found himself at the center of the greatest debate the nation had ever faced.

The Heroes of History series chronicles the true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history.
