00:01:32.009 --> 00:01:33.551
(MEN CLAMORING)

00:01:41.101 --> 00:01:43.144
(YELLING)

00:01:46.315 --> 00:01:48.441
(SCREAMING)

00:01:59.411 --> 00:02:00.620
(GROANING)

00:02:05.542 --> 00:02:07.960
MAN: Some of us was
in the Second Kansas Colored.

00:02:08.045 --> 00:02:10.588
We fought the Rebs at
Jenkins' Ferry last April

00:02:10.714 --> 00:02:12.381
just after they killed every Negro soldier

00:02:12.508 --> 00:02:14.217
they captured at Poison Springs.

00:02:15.219 --> 00:02:17.011
So at Jenkins' Ferry,

00:02:17.221 --> 00:02:19.764
we decided warn't takin'
no Reb prisoners.

00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:22.517
And we didn't leave a one of 'em alive.

00:02:23.227 --> 00:02:25.186
The ones of us that didn't die that day,

00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:28.064
we joined up with
the 116th U.S. Colored, sir,

00:02:28.190 --> 00:02:29.774
from Camp Nelson, Kentucky.

00:02:30.526 --> 00:02:32.777
LINCOLN: What's your name, soldier?

00:02:32.903 --> 00:02:35.029
Private. Harold Green, sir.

00:02:36.448 --> 00:02:38.074
I'm Corporal Ira Clark, sir.

00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:40.284
Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry.

00:02:40.452 --> 00:02:42.453
We're waiting over there.

00:02:42.704 --> 00:02:44.247
We're leaving our horses behind

00:02:44.373 --> 00:02:45.915
and shipping out with the 24th Infantry

00:02:46.041 --> 00:02:48.876
for the assault next week on Wilmington.

00:02:51.046 --> 00:02:53.381
LINCOLN: How long
have you been a soldier?

00:02:53.966 --> 00:02:55.550
Two years, sir.

00:02:56.051 --> 00:02:57.969
LINCOLN: The Second Kansas
Colored Infantry,

00:02:58.095 --> 00:03:00.388
they fought bravely at Jenkins' Ferry.

00:03:00.764 --> 00:03:01.973
That's right, sir.

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:03.766
They killed
a thousand Rebel soldiers, sir.

00:03:03.892 --> 00:03:05.685
They were very brave.

00:03:06.103 --> 00:03:09.272
And making $3 less each month
than white soldiers.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.606
Us Second Kansas boys...

00:03:10.691 --> 00:03:13.985
Another $3 subtracted
from our pay for our uniforms.

00:03:14.278 --> 00:03:15.528
That was true, yes sir,
but that's changed.

00:03:15.612 --> 00:03:18.781
Equal pay now, but still
no commissioned Negro officers.

00:03:18.866 --> 00:03:20.867
LINCOLN: I'm aware of that,
Corporal Clark.

00:03:20.951 --> 00:03:22.952
Yes, sir.
That's good that you're aware, sir...

00:03:23.287 --> 00:03:24.287
Do you think the Wilmington attack...

00:03:24.371 --> 00:03:26.914
Now that white people
have accustomed themselves

00:03:26.999 --> 00:03:28.749
to seeing Negro men with guns

00:03:28.834 --> 00:03:30.001
fighting on their behalf,

00:03:30.127 --> 00:03:31.419
and now that they can tolerate

00:03:31.503 --> 00:03:33.754
Negro soldiers getting equal pay

00:03:33.839 --> 00:03:36.382
maybe in a few years,
they can abide the idea

00:03:36.466 --> 00:03:38.759
of Negro lieutenants and captains.

00:03:38.844 --> 00:03:41.470
In fifty years, maybe a Negro colonel.

00:03:42.222 --> 00:03:44.807
In a hundred years, the vote.

00:03:48.353 --> 00:03:51.397
What will you do after the war,
Corporal Clark?

00:03:52.816 --> 00:03:54.150
Work, sir.

00:03:54.860 --> 00:03:57.028
-Hm.
-Perhaps you'll hire me.

00:03:57.154 --> 00:03:58.654
Perhaps I will.

00:03:59.156 --> 00:04:00.781
But you should know, sir,

00:04:00.866 --> 00:04:02.992
that I get sick at the smell of boot black

00:04:03.076 --> 00:04:04.994
and I cannot cut hair.

00:04:05.662 --> 00:04:07.371
I've yet to find a man could cut mine

00:04:07.456 --> 00:04:09.790
so that it'd make any difference.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.375
IRA: You got springy hair
for a white man.

00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:12.710
Yes, I do.

00:04:12.794 --> 00:04:15.046
My last barber hanged himself.
(CHUCKLES)

00:04:17.007 --> 00:04:18.966
And the one before that.

00:04:19.134 --> 00:04:20.718
Left me his scissors in his will.

00:04:20.802 --> 00:04:22.136
(CHUCKLES)

00:04:24.306 --> 00:04:25.348
YOUNG MAN 1: President Lincoln, sir.

00:04:25.432 --> 00:04:26.432
Good evening, boys.

00:04:26.516 --> 00:04:28.100
YOUNG MAN 2: We saw you, and...

00:04:28.268 --> 00:04:30.019
-We were at...
-We was at Gettysburg.

00:04:30.103 --> 00:04:31.771
You boys fight at Gettysburg?

00:04:31.855 --> 00:04:33.981
No, didn't fight there,
we just signed up last month.

00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.275
We saw him two years ago
at the cemetery dedication.

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.362
Yeah. We heard you speak...
(STAMMERING) Goddamn.

00:04:39.529 --> 00:04:40.988
Uh, hey, how tall are you, anyway?

00:04:41.073 --> 00:04:42.406
Aw, jeez, shut up.

00:04:42.866 --> 00:04:44.033
Could you hear what I said?

00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:45.368
YOUNG MAN 1: No, sir. Not much.

00:04:45.577 --> 00:04:46.619
It was...

00:04:46.703 --> 00:04:48.162
"Four score and seven years ago,

00:04:48.246 --> 00:04:50.081

"that all men are created equal."

00:04:55.170 --> 00:04:56.671
That's good. Thank you.

00:04:56.838 --> 00:04:58.547
"Now we are engaged
in a great civil war,

"We are met on a great
battlefield of that war."

00:05:06.556 --> 00:05:07.556
That's good, thank you.

00:05:07.641 --> 00:05:08.641
YOUNG MAN 2: "We come to dedicate

00:05:08.725 --> 00:05:09.892
"a portion of that field

00:05:09.977 --> 00:05:11.560

00:05:21.154 --> 00:05:23.489

and find your company.

-And thank you.
-Thank you, sir.

-God bless you.
-God bless you, too.

LINCOLN: It's nighttime.

00:06:31.975 --> 00:06:34.977
Ship's moved by some terribie power

00:06:35.645 --> 00:06:37.563
at a terrific speed.

00:06:38.523 --> 00:06:40.399
And though it's imperceptible
in the darkness,

00:06:40.484 --> 00:06:43.569
I have an intuition that
we're headed towards a shore.

00:06:43.653 --> 00:06:46.447
No one else seems to be
aboard the vessel.

00:06:46.656 --> 00:06:50.993
I'm very keenly aware of my aloneness.

00:06:52.037 --> 00:06:53.954
"I could be bounded in a nutshell

00:06:54.039 --> 00:06:56.916
"and count myself
a king of infinite space

"were it not that I have bad dreams."

00:07:00.545 --> 00:07:01.670
Hmm.

00:07:01.838 --> 00:07:03.589
I reckon it's the speed
that's strange to me.

00:07:03.673 --> 00:07:06.300
I'm used to going at a deliberate pace.

00:07:08.887 --> 00:07:10.179
I should spare you, Molly.

00:07:10.263 --> 00:07:12.431
I shouldn't tell you my dreams.

00:07:12.516 --> 00:07:15.184
I don't want to be spared if you aren't.

00:07:15.393 --> 00:07:17.186
And you spare me nothing.

00:07:19.731 --> 00:07:21.273
Perhaps it's...

00:07:22.192 --> 00:07:24.819
It's the assault on Wilmington Port.

00:07:25.695 --> 00:07:28.280
You dream about the ship
before a battle, usually.

00:07:28.907 --> 00:07:30.574
How's the coconut?

00:07:31.701 --> 00:07:33.410
Beyond description.

00:07:35.038 --> 00:07:37.331
Almost two years, nothing mends.

00:07:38.542 --> 00:07:40.668
Another casualty of the war.

00:07:43.171 --> 00:07:45.172
Who wants to listen to a useless woman

00:07:45.257 --> 00:07:47.258
grouse about her carriage accident?

00:07:47.342 --> 00:07:48.968
-I do.
-Stuff.

00:07:50.095 --> 00:07:51.971
You tell me dreams, that's all.

00:07:52.055 --> 00:07:53.806
I'm your soothsayer.

00:07:54.099 --> 00:07:55.641
That's all I am to you anymore.

00:07:55.725 --> 00:07:57.685
I'm not to be trusted

00:07:58.979 --> 00:08:01.772
even if it was not a carriage accident.

00:08:02.357 --> 00:08:04.650
Even if it was
an attempted assassination.

00:08:04.734 --> 00:08:05.943
It was most probably an accident.

00:08:06.027 --> 00:08:09.572
It was an assassin
whose intended target was you.

00:08:11.408 --> 00:08:14.618
How are the plans coming along
for the big shindy?

00:08:15.245 --> 00:08:17.288
I don't want to talk about parties.

00:08:17.414 --> 00:08:19.165
You don't care about parties.

00:08:19.249 --> 00:08:22.668
Not much, but they're
a necessary hindrance.

(LINCOLN SIGHS)

00:08:28.216 --> 00:08:29.425
I know.

00:08:30.886 --> 00:08:33.053
I know what it's about, the ship.

00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:39.560
It's not Wilmington Port.
It's not a military campaign.

00:08:41.396 --> 00:08:43.981
It's the amendment to abolish slavery.

00:08:44.691 --> 00:08:45.816

00:08:57.162 --> 00:08:58.412
Before the Inauguration?

Don't spend too much money
on the flubdubs.

No one's ever been loved
so much by the people.

00:09:10.091 --> 00:09:11.967
You might do anything now.

00:09:12.093 --> 00:09:14.553
Don't... Don't waste that power

00:09:14.638 --> 00:09:16.722

that's sure of defeat.

in the House votes yes,

00:13:02.532 --> 00:13:05.075
far from guaranteed.
Since when has our party

vote for it.

Only twenty?

00:13:15.462 --> 00:13:16.503
(LAUGHS) "Only twenty?"

00:13:16.588 --> 00:13:17.838
We can find twenty votes.

00:13:17.964 --> 00:13:20.799
Twenty House Democrats
who'll vote to abolish slavery?

00:13:20.884 --> 00:13:22.009
In my opinion...

00:13:22.093 --> 00:13:24.094
To which I always listen.

00:13:24.262 --> 00:13:27.097
-Or pretend to.
-With all three of my ears.

00:13:28.766 --> 00:13:30.100
We'll win the war soon.

00:13:30.185 --> 00:13:32.227
It's inevitable, isn't it?

00:13:32.645 --> 00:13:34.563
Well, it ain't won yet.

00:13:34.939 --> 00:13:38.400
You'll begin your second term
with semi-divine stature.

00:13:38.818 --> 00:13:41.278
Imagine the possibilities
peace will bring.

00:13:41.362 --> 00:13:43.405
Why tarnish your invaluable luster

00:13:43.490 --> 00:13:44.698
with a battle in the House?

00:13:44.782 --> 00:13:46.492
It's a rat's nest in there.

00:13:46.576 --> 00:13:49.161
It's the same gang of
talentless hicks and hacks

00:13:49.245 --> 00:13:51.580
who rejected the amendment
10 months ago.

00:13:51.664 --> 00:13:53.040
We'll lose.

00:13:55.084 --> 00:13:57.002
I like our chances now.

00:13:58.463 --> 00:14:01.340
Well, consider the obstacles
that we'd face.

00:14:02.258 --> 00:14:04.218
The aforementioned two-thirds majority

00:14:04.302 --> 00:14:05.969
needed to pass an amendment.

00:14:06.054 --> 00:14:09.389
We have a Republican majority,
but barely more than 50%.

00:14:09.474 --> 00:14:10.807
Fifty-six.

00:14:12.852 --> 00:14:15.854
We need Democratic support.
There's none to be had.

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.773
Since the House
last voted on the amendment,

00:14:17.857 --> 00:14:19.233
there's been an election.

00:14:19.317 --> 00:14:20.692
Sixty-four Democrats

00:14:20.777 --> 00:14:23.195
lost their House seats in November.

00:14:23.488 --> 00:14:25.781
That's 64 Democrats
looking for work come March.

00:14:25.865 --> 00:14:26.949
I know.

00:14:27.033 --> 00:14:28.534
They don't need to
worry about re-election.

00:14:28.618 --> 00:14:29.993
They can vote however it suits them.

00:14:30.078 --> 00:14:33.330
But we can't buy the vote
for the amendment.

00:14:33.414 --> 00:14:35.374
-It's too important.
-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

00:14:35.458 --> 00:14:37.584
I said nothing of buying anything.

00:14:37.669 --> 00:14:40.003
We need twenty votes was all I said.

00:14:40.171 --> 00:14:43.549
Start of my second term,
plenty of positions to fill.

00:14:43.633 --> 00:14:45.217
(CROWD OUTSIDE CLAMORING)

00:14:47.804 --> 00:14:48.971
Mr. President, may I present

00:14:49.055 --> 00:14:51.139
Mr. and Mrs. Jolly
who've come from Missouri...

00:14:51.224 --> 00:14:53.267
From Jeff City, President.

00:14:53.518 --> 00:14:54.851
Mr. Jolly.

00:14:55.812 --> 00:14:56.979
Ma'am.

00:14:57.230 --> 00:14:59.856
And this here by the fire
is Secretary of State Seward.

00:14:59.941 --> 00:15:00.941
(DOOR CLOSES)

00:15:03.236 --> 00:15:04.570
Jeff City?

00:15:07.699 --> 00:15:11.410
I heard tell once
of a Jefferson City lawyer

00:15:12.453 --> 00:15:14.288
who had a parrot

00:15:14.706 --> 00:15:16.915
that'd wake him
each morning, crying out,

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.543
"Today is the day the world shall end,

00:15:19.627 --> 00:15:21.712
"as scripture has foretold."

00:15:23.047 --> 00:15:24.590
And, uh, one day

00:15:25.675 --> 00:15:27.593
the lawyer shot him,

00:15:27.927 --> 00:15:30.762
for the sake of peace and quiet,
I presume.

00:15:30.972 --> 00:15:33.599
Thus fulfilling, for the bird at least,

00:15:33.850 --> 00:15:35.350
his prophecy.

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:46.820
There's only one toll booth in Jeff City,

00:15:46.904 --> 00:15:48.447
to the southwest

00:15:48.531 --> 00:15:51.074
and this man

been in illegal possession
for near two yar

00:15:53.453 --> 00:15:55.704
since your man General Schofield

00:15:55.788 --> 00:15:57.331
set him up there.

00:15:57.498 --> 00:15:59.458
But President Monroe give that toll gate

00:15:59.542 --> 00:16:00.834
to my granpap

00:16:00.918 --> 00:16:02.711
and Quincy Adams

00:16:02.795 --> 00:16:04.379
(CLEARS THROAT) give my pap a letter

00:16:04.464 --> 00:16:06.214
saying it's our'n for keeps.

00:16:06.424 --> 00:16:08.175
Mrs. Jolly got the...

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:10.344
Show Mr. Lincoln
the Quincy Adams letter.

00:16:10.803 --> 00:16:12.638
That's unnecessary, Mrs. Jolly.

00:16:12.722 --> 00:16:13.805
Just tell me what you want from me.

00:16:14.724 --> 00:16:16.016
(COUGHS)

00:16:16.517 --> 00:16:19.394
Mr. Jolly's emphysema
don't care for cigars.

00:16:20.271 --> 00:16:22.856
Madame, do you know
about the proposed

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:23.982
13th Amendment of the Constitution?

00:16:24.067 --> 00:16:25.942
Yes, sir, everybody knows of it.

00:16:26.235 --> 00:16:27.694
The President favors it.

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:29.321
-Do you?
-We do.

00:16:29.447 --> 00:16:31.406
You know that it abolishes slavery?

00:16:31.491 --> 00:16:32.658
Yes, sir, I know it.

00:16:32.742 --> 00:16:34.951
And is that why you favor it?

00:16:35.411 --> 00:16:38.330
What I favor is ending the war.

00:16:39.040 --> 00:16:42.668
Once we do away with slavery,
the Rebs'll quit fighting

00:16:43.169 --> 00:16:45.337
since slavery's what they're fighting for.

00:16:45.421 --> 00:16:48.006
Mr. Lincoln, you always says so.

00:16:49.801 --> 00:16:51.426
With the amendment, slavery's ended.

00:16:51.511 --> 00:16:53.637
And they'll give up.
The war can finish then.

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:58.141
If the war finished first,
before we end slavery...

00:16:58.226 --> 00:17:00.644
President Lincoln
says the war won't stop

00:17:00.728 --> 00:17:02.729
unless we finish slavery.

00:17:03.314 --> 00:17:04.856
But if it did.

00:17:04.941 --> 00:17:06.858
The South is exhausted.

00:17:07.443 --> 00:17:10.195
If they run out of bullets and men

00:17:11.114 --> 00:17:13.365
would you still want your...

00:17:13.783 --> 00:17:15.534
Who's your Representative?

00:17:15.618 --> 00:17:18.078
Jeff City? That's Congressman Burton.

00:17:18.162 --> 00:17:19.413
"Beanpole" Burton.

00:17:19.497 --> 00:17:21.540
I mean, Josiah Burton, yes, sir.

00:17:21.624 --> 00:17:22.666
A Republican,

00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:25.836
undecided on the question
of the amendment, I believe.

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.546
Perhaps you could call on him

00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:29.548
and inform him of your enthusiasm.

00:17:29.924 --> 00:17:30.966
Yeah.

00:17:31.050 --> 00:17:32.592
SEWARD: Madame.

00:17:32.969 --> 00:17:35.554
If the Rebels surrendered next week

00:17:36.013 --> 00:17:38.432
would you, at the end of this month

00:17:39.684 --> 00:17:41.101
want Congressman Burton to vote

00:17:41.185 --> 00:17:43.103
for the 13th Amendment?

00:17:45.982 --> 00:17:48.859
If that was how it was,
no more war and all

00:17:48.943 --> 00:17:51.236
I reckon Mr. Jolly
much prefer not to have

00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:53.238
Congress pass the amendment.

00:17:54.198 --> 00:17:56.116
SEWARD: Hmm. And, uh

00:17:57.326 --> 00:17:58.869
why is that?

00:18:00.288 --> 00:18:01.329
Niggers.

00:18:01.414 --> 00:18:03.206

let some Alabama coon

00:18:03.291 --> 00:18:04.374
come up to Missouri

steal his chickens and his job,

00:18:05.918 --> 00:18:07.753
we'd much prefer that.

00:18:10.089 --> 00:18:11.465
The people.

00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:13.884
I begin to see why
you're in such a great hurry

00:18:13.968 --> 00:18:15.051
to put it through.

00:18:15.136 --> 00:18:17.429
Would you let me study this letter, sir,

00:18:17.513 --> 00:18:18.513
about the toll booth?

00:18:19.390 --> 00:18:21.475
Come back to me in the morning

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.102
and we'll consider what the law says.

00:18:25.563 --> 00:18:27.189
You be sure to

00:18:27.690 --> 00:18:29.441
visit Beanpole.

00:18:30.193 --> 00:18:33.570
Tell him that you support
passage of the amendment

00:18:33.654 --> 00:18:35.739
as a military necessity.

to keep him clean out of that.

in return for all the help I can give him

is to go down to Richmond,
like he said I could

as soon as Savannah fell

00:21:59.276 --> 00:22:01.319
and talk to Jefferson Davis.

Now give me terms
I can offer to Jefferson Davis

to start negotiating for peace.

00:22:17.336 --> 00:22:20.505
They'll vote for this rash
and dangerous amendment

00:22:20.589 --> 00:22:23.967
only if every other possibility
is exhausted.

00:22:24.552 --> 00:22:27.095
Our Republicans ain't abolitionists.

00:22:27.722 --> 00:22:30.682
We can't tell our people
they can vote yes

00:22:30.891 --> 00:22:32.100
on abolishing slavery

00:22:32.184 --> 00:22:35.228
unless at the same time we can tell them

00:22:35.438 --> 00:22:38.231
that you're seeking a negotiated peace.

00:22:46.407 --> 00:22:49.117
Leo, it's 100 miles to Richmond.

00:22:49.326 --> 00:22:50.994
Get him drunk so he can sleep.

00:22:51.078 --> 00:22:52.454
Yes, ma'am.

00:22:52.955 --> 00:22:54.372
Here, Daddy.

00:22:54.790 --> 00:22:55.874
Oh.

00:22:56.125 --> 00:22:58.126
-Thank you.
-Yes, sir, all right.

00:22:58.711 --> 00:22:59.836
Where's my hat?

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.546
Leo has your hat.

00:23:01.714 --> 00:23:02.964
All right?

00:23:04.425 --> 00:23:05.925
Go make peace.

00:23:18.397 --> 00:23:20.440
Thunder forth, God of War.

00:23:22.568 --> 00:23:25.987
We'll commence our assault
on Wilmington from the sea.

00:23:29.658 --> 00:23:30.992
Why is this burnt?

00:23:31.911 --> 00:23:33.495
Was the boy playing with it?

00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:35.830
It got took by a breeze
several nights back.

00:23:35.915 --> 00:23:37.582
This is an official War Department map.

00:23:37.875 --> 00:23:39.501
And the entire Cabinet's waiting

00:23:39.585 --> 00:23:40.668
to hear what it portends.

00:23:40.753 --> 00:23:41.836
WELLES: A bombardment.

00:23:42.505 --> 00:23:45.256
From the largest fleet
the Navy has ever assembled.

00:23:45.341 --> 00:23:47.759
Old Neptune, shake thy hoary locks!

00:23:48.010 --> 00:23:49.844
Fifty-eight ships are under way,

00:23:49.929 --> 00:23:52.263
of every tonnage and firing range.

00:23:52.389 --> 00:23:54.682
STANTON: We'll keep up
a steady barrage.

00:23:55.184 --> 00:23:56.476
Our first target is Fort Fisher.

00:23:56.560 --> 00:23:58.228
It defends Wilmington Port.

00:23:58.354 --> 00:24:00.271
SPEED: A steady barrage?

00:24:00.898 --> 00:24:02.941
A hundred shells a minute.

00:24:04.026 --> 00:24:05.068
Till they surrender.

00:24:05.778 --> 00:24:07.153
-Dear God.
-(ALL MURMURING)

00:24:07.446 --> 00:24:10.615
LINCOLN: Wilmington's
their last open seaport, therefore...

00:24:10.699 --> 00:24:13.368
Wilmington falls, Richmond falls after.

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:17.122
And the war is done.

00:24:18.249 --> 00:24:19.541
MEN: Hear, hear!

00:24:19.625 --> 00:24:21.668
Then why, if I might ask

00:24:21.752 --> 00:24:23.002
are we not concentrating

00:24:23.087 --> 00:24:25.255
the nation's attention on Wilmington?

00:24:25.381 --> 00:24:27.715
Why, instead, are we
reading in the Herald

00:24:28.425 --> 00:24:29.759
that the anti-slavery amendment

00:24:29.885 --> 00:24:32.887
is being precipitated onto
the House floor for debate?

00:24:33.055 --> 00:24:34.055
Because your eagerness,

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.807
in what seems an unwarranted intrusion

00:24:35.891 --> 00:24:38.476
of the executive into
legislative prerogatives,

00:24:38.561 --> 00:24:40.395
is compelling it to what's...

00:24:40.729 --> 00:24:43.481
To what's likely to be
its premature demise.

00:24:43.566 --> 00:24:44.566
MEN: Hear, hear!

00:24:44.650 --> 00:24:46.276
You signed
the Emancipation Proclamation.

00:24:46.402 --> 00:24:47.360
You've done all that could be done.

00:24:47.444 --> 00:24:48.653
The Emancipation Proclamation's

00:24:48.737 --> 00:24:50.822
merely a war measure.
After the war, the courts...

00:24:50.906 --> 00:24:52.657
When Edward Bates
was Attorney General,

00:24:52.741 --> 00:24:53.950
he felt confident enough
to let you sign it!

00:24:54.076 --> 00:24:56.077
Different lawyers, different opinions.

00:24:56.162 --> 00:24:58.663
It frees slaves
as a military exigent. Not...

00:24:58.789 --> 00:25:02.417
I don't recall Edward Bates
being any too certain about

00:25:02.793 --> 00:25:05.253
the legality of my proclamation.

00:25:06.797 --> 00:25:08.590
Just it wasn't downright criminal.

00:25:08.674 --> 00:25:10.175
(ALL CHUCKLING)

00:25:10.593 --> 00:25:12.427
Somewheres in between.

00:25:13.971 --> 00:25:14.971
Mm.

00:25:16.098 --> 00:25:18.808
Back when I rode
the legal circuit in Illinois,

00:25:18.934 --> 00:25:21.227
I defended a woman from Metamora

00:25:21.312 --> 00:25:23.104
named Melissa Goings.

00:25:23.981 --> 00:25:25.940
Seventy-seven years old.

00:25:26.650 --> 00:25:29.777
They said she'd murdered
her husband. He was 83.

00:25:30.529 --> 00:25:32.322
He was choking her

00:25:33.115 --> 00:25:36.159
and she grabbed a hold
of a stick of firewood

00:25:36.285 --> 00:25:38.870
and fractured his skull and he died.

00:25:39.997 --> 00:25:41.831
In his will, he wrote,

00:25:42.625 --> 00:25:43.958
(CHUCKLES)

00:25:44.126 --> 00:25:46.294
"I expect she has killed me."

00:25:46.670 --> 00:25:48.713
(ALL LAUGHING)

00:25:50.007 --> 00:25:52.675
"If I get over it, I will have revenge."

00:25:52.968 --> 00:25:54.469
(LAUGHTER CONTINUES)

00:25:58.140 --> 00:26:00.058
No one was keen to see her convicted,

00:26:00.142 --> 00:26:02.393
he was that kind of husband.

00:26:03.145 --> 00:26:04.771
I asked the prosecuting attorney

00:26:04.855 --> 00:26:08.066
if I might have a short conference
with my client.

00:26:08.234 --> 00:26:11.402
She and I went into a room
in the courthouse,

00:26:11.570 --> 00:26:13.363
but I alone emerged.

00:26:13.864 --> 00:26:15.573
The window in the room
was found to be wide open.

00:26:15.658 --> 00:26:19.244
It was believed the old lady
may have climbed out of it.

00:26:20.996 --> 00:26:22.664
(CHUCKLING) I told the bailiff,

00:26:23.499 --> 00:26:24.540
right before I left her in the room

00:26:24.667 --> 00:26:25.708
she asked me where she could get

00:26:25.834 --> 00:26:28.628
a good drink of water,
and I told her, Tennessee.

00:26:28.712 --> 00:26:30.213
(MEN LAUGHING)

00:26:31.507 --> 00:26:34.050
Mrs. Goings was seen no more
in Metamora.

00:26:34.176 --> 00:26:36.344
Enough justice had been done.

00:26:36.762 --> 00:26:39.430
They even forgave
the bondsman her bail.

00:26:40.849 --> 00:26:41.849
USHER: I'm afraid I don't see...

00:26:41.934 --> 00:26:43.393
I decided

00:26:44.687 --> 00:26:47.689
that the Constitution
gives me war powers

00:26:48.857 --> 00:26:50.149
but no one knows just exactly

00:26:50.234 --> 00:26:52.277
what those powers are.

00:26:53.195 --> 00:26:54.320
Some say they don't exist.

00:26:54.405 --> 00:26:56.072
I don't know. I decided

00:26:56.198 --> 00:26:58.408
I needed them to exist to uphold my oath

00:26:58.534 --> 00:27:00.743
to protect the Constitution.

00:27:01.036 --> 00:27:02.704
Which I decided meant I could take

00:27:02.788 --> 00:27:04.664
the Rebels' slaves from them

00:27:04.748 --> 00:27:07.125
as property confiscated in war.

00:27:07.710 --> 00:27:09.836
That might recommend
to suspicion that I agree

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:11.087
with the Rebs that their slaves

00:27:11.213 --> 00:27:12.297
are property in the first place.

00:27:12.381 --> 00:27:14.632
Of course, I don't. Never have.

00:27:16.051 --> 00:27:17.593
I'm glad to see any man free,

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:19.887
and if calling a man property

00:27:19.972 --> 00:27:21.264
or war contraband

00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:24.600
does the trick,
why I caught at the opportunity.

00:27:25.561 --> 00:27:28.229
Now here's where it gets truly slippery.

00:27:28.564 --> 00:27:31.357
I use the law allowing for the seizure

00:27:31.442 --> 00:27:32.525
of property in a war

00:27:32.609 --> 00:27:34.068
knowing it applies only to the property

00:27:34.153 --> 00:27:36.821
of governments and citizens
of belligerent nations.

00:27:36.905 --> 00:27:39.240
Well, the South ain't a nation.

00:27:39.408 --> 00:27:41.993
That's why I can't negotiate with them.

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:44.912
So if, in fact, the Negroes are property,

00:27:44.997 --> 00:27:46.289
according to the law,

00:27:46.415 --> 00:27:48.291
have I the right to take
the Rebels' property

00:27:48.417 --> 00:27:50.209
from them, if I insist they're rebels only

00:27:50.294 --> 00:27:53.254
and not citizens of a belligerent country?

00:27:53.505 --> 00:27:55.006
And slipperier still, I maintain it ain't

00:27:55.090 --> 00:27:57.925
our actual Southern states in rebellion

00:27:58.427 --> 00:28:00.762
but only the rebels living in those states,

00:28:00.846 --> 00:28:04.182
the laws of which states remain in force.

00:28:05.601 --> 00:28:08.311
"The laws of which states
remain in force."

00:28:08.437 --> 00:28:10.521
That means that since it's
states' laws that determine

00:28:10.606 --> 00:28:13.066
whether Negroes can be sold as slaves,

00:28:13.150 --> 00:28:14.650
as property,

00:28:15.110 --> 00:28:17.487
the federal government
doesn't have a say in that.

00:28:17.613 --> 00:28:19.197
At least not yet.

00:28:19.782 --> 00:28:23.034
Then Negroes in those states
are slaves,

00:28:23.118 --> 00:28:24.118
hence property,

00:28:24.203 --> 00:28:26.371
hence my war powers
allow me to confiscate them

00:28:26.455 --> 00:28:28.706
as such, so I confiscate them.

00:28:29.333 --> 00:28:30.958
But if I'm a respecter of states' laws,

00:28:31.043 --> 00:28:32.418
how then can I legally free them

00:28:32.503 --> 00:28:34.796
with my Proclamation as I done?

00:28:35.672 --> 00:28:38.049
Unless I'm canceling states' laws?

00:28:43.055 --> 00:28:45.139
I felt the war demanded it.

00:28:46.016 --> 00:28:47.809
My oath demanded it.

00:28:48.977 --> 00:28:50.520
I felt right with myself,

00:28:50.646 --> 00:28:52.897
and I hoped it was legal to do it.

00:28:52.981 --> 00:28:54.649
I'm hoping still.

00:28:56.402 --> 00:29:00.405
Two years ago, I proclaimed
these people emancipated.

00:29:00.656 --> 00:29:04.826
"Then, thenceforward and forever free."

00:29:06.537 --> 00:29:08.287
Now let's say the courts
decide I had no authority

00:29:08.372 --> 00:29:10.998
to do it. They might well decide that.

00:29:11.333 --> 00:29:13.126
Say there's no amendment
abolishing slavery,

00:29:13.210 --> 00:29:14.669
say it's after the war

00:29:14.753 --> 00:29:16.712
and I can no longer use my war powers

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.589
to just ignore the courts' decisions

00:29:18.674 --> 00:29:21.134
like I sometimes felt I had to do.

00:29:21.218 --> 00:29:24.762
Might those people I freed
be ordered back into slavery?

00:29:28.684 --> 00:29:29.892
That's why I'd like to get

00:29:30.018 --> 00:29:31.978
the 13th Amendment through the House,

00:29:32.062 --> 00:29:34.188
on its way to ratification by the states.

00:29:34.273 --> 00:29:35.982
Wrap the whole slavery thing up,

00:29:36.066 --> 00:29:38.860
forever and aye,
as soon as I'm able. Now!

00:29:38.944 --> 00:29:40.403
End of this month.

00:29:40.529 --> 00:29:42.196
And I'd like you to stand behind me

00:29:42.281 --> 00:29:45.116
like my Cabinet's most always done.

00:29:53.417 --> 00:29:55.209
As the preacher said,

00:29:56.044 --> 00:29:58.254
"I could write shorter sermons,

00:29:58.422 --> 00:30:01.257
"but once I start, I get too lazy to stop."

(MEN CHUCKLING)

00:30:06.555 --> 00:30:08.181
It seems to me, sir, you're describing

00:30:08.265 --> 00:30:10.183
precisely the sort of dictator

00:30:10.267 --> 00:30:12.059
the Democrats
have been howling about.

aren't susceptible to law.

He just said as much.

Ignoring the courts?
Twisting meanings?

What reins him in from... From...

00:30:19.485 --> 00:30:21.986
Well, the people do that, I suppose.

00:30:23.238 --> 00:30:25.698
I signed the Emancipation Proclamation,

00:30:25.782 --> 00:30:28.784
what, a year and a half
before my second election?

00:30:28.911 --> 00:30:30.661
I felt I was within my power to do it,

00:30:30.746 --> 00:30:34.248
however, I also felt that
I might be wrong about that.

00:30:34.416 --> 00:30:35.541
I knew the people would tell me.

00:30:35.626 --> 00:30:37.293
I gave them a year and a half
to think about it,

00:30:37.419 --> 00:30:38.711
and they re-elected me.

00:30:38.795 --> 00:30:40.671
And come February the first,

00:30:40.756 --> 00:30:43.591

and what is the reason
for this thusness?

James, we want you to bring
the anti-slavery amendment

-immediately.
-Excuse me, what?

are you not?

I am, of course, but...

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:16.832
Then we're counting
on robust radical support

00:31:16.959 --> 00:31:18.584

00:31:18.669 --> 00:31:19.919

00:31:21.171 --> 00:31:22.797

00:31:32.349 --> 00:31:34.058

00:31:34.142 --> 00:31:35.893

00:31:45.737 --> 00:31:48.155
We've been chasing this whale
for a long time.

00:31:48.699 --> 00:31:50.199
And we finally placed a harpoon

00:31:50.325 --> 00:31:51.367
in the monster's back.

00:31:51.493 --> 00:31:53.494

00:31:56.248 --> 00:31:59.500
Or with one flop of his tail,
he'll smash the boat

00:31:59.585 --> 00:32:01.711
and send us all to eternity.

Come December, you'll have
the same in the House.

The amendment will be
the easy work of 10 minutes.

00:32:35.621 --> 00:32:37.121
He's using the threat of the amendment

00:32:37.205 --> 00:32:38.956
to frighten the Rebels
into an immediate surrender.

00:32:39.207 --> 00:32:41.042
I imagine we'd rejoice to see that.

00:32:41.209 --> 00:32:43.085

00:32:43.211 --> 00:32:44.837
have rejoined the Union pell-mell,

00:32:44.921 --> 00:32:46.881

and one by one,

00:32:46.965 --> 00:32:48.299

00:32:48.717 --> 00:32:50.551
If we pass it, which we won't.

00:32:50.636 --> 00:32:53.888
Why are we cooperating with him?

00:33:02.397 --> 00:33:03.856

00:33:05.233 --> 00:33:07.610

-Jobs and nothing more.
-That's correct.

00:39:37.959 --> 00:39:39.710
Could you bring your pa this letter I writ

00:39:39.794 --> 00:39:40.961
about my insolvency proceeding?

00:39:41.087 --> 00:39:43.213
Deliver your own goddamn petition.

00:39:43.298 --> 00:39:44.423
There's a new book. Sam Beckwith

00:39:44.507 --> 00:39:45.799
says it's about finches
and finches' beaks,

00:39:45.925 --> 00:39:46.925
about how they change.

00:39:47.510 --> 00:39:48.552
(WHISPERS) He's here.

00:39:48.636 --> 00:39:51.138
He's here! Mrs. Cuthbert, he's here!

00:39:51.681 --> 00:39:53.098
-Robbie.
-Hi, Mom.

00:39:53.183 --> 00:39:54.516
-Oh, Robbie.
-Hey.

00:39:54.642 --> 00:39:55.809
-Robbie.
-Hey.

00:39:56.311 --> 00:39:57.311
Oh.

00:39:58.188 --> 00:39:59.772
(TAD CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

00:39:59.856 --> 00:40:02.191
You're only staying a few days,
why'd you pack all that?

00:40:02.317 --> 00:40:03.901
Well, I don't know how long...

00:40:03.985 --> 00:40:05.152
Go tell your father Robert's home.

00:40:05.653 --> 00:40:08.238
Mr. Nicolay says Daddy's
secluded with Mr. Blair.

00:40:08.323 --> 00:40:09.948
Tell him anyway.

00:40:12.285 --> 00:40:13.994
-Did you forget to eat?
-(CHUCKLES)

00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:15.788
-Exactly like him.
-No.

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:18.874
You'll linger a few days extra
after the reception

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.542
before you go back to school.

00:40:20.668 --> 00:40:22.669
Well, I don't know
if I'm going to go back...

00:40:22.796 --> 00:40:26.006
We'll fatten you up
before you return to Boston.

00:40:27.008 --> 00:40:29.051
-All right, Mom.
-All right.

00:40:30.470 --> 00:40:31.762
Oh, Robbie.

00:40:32.514 --> 00:40:35.349
Jefferson Davis is sending
three delegates.

00:40:35.642 --> 00:40:37.851
Stephens, Hunter and Campbell.

00:40:39.062 --> 00:40:41.271
Vice President of the Confederacy,

00:40:41.356 --> 00:40:43.148
the former Secretary of State

00:40:43.233 --> 00:40:45.818
and their Assistant Secretary of War.

00:40:46.194 --> 00:40:49.029
They're coming in earnest
to propose peace.

00:40:50.865 --> 00:40:53.826
I know this is unwelcome news for you.

00:40:54.327 --> 00:40:55.702
Now hear me.

00:40:56.913 --> 00:40:59.748
I went to Richmond to talk to traitors.

00:41:00.875 --> 00:41:03.418
To smile at and plead with traitors

00:41:04.504 --> 00:41:07.339
because it'll be spring in two months.

00:41:08.007 --> 00:41:09.842
The roads will be passable,

00:41:09.926 --> 00:41:12.219
the spring slaughter commences.

00:41:13.221 --> 00:41:15.222
Four bloody springs now.

00:41:17.225 --> 00:41:18.892
Think of my Frank,

00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:21.728
whom you've taken to your heart.

00:41:21.855 --> 00:41:24.690
How you'll blame yourself
if the war takes my son

00:41:24.774 --> 00:41:27.276
as it's taken multitudes of sons.

00:41:29.028 --> 00:41:31.321
Think of all the boys who will die

00:41:31.406 --> 00:41:33.365
if you don't make peace.

00:41:33.449 --> 00:41:35.367
You must talk with these men.

00:41:35.451 --> 00:41:36.827
I intend to, Preston.

00:41:36.911 --> 00:41:38.996
In return, I must ask you to support
our push for the amendment...

00:41:39.080 --> 00:41:40.664
No, this is not horse trading.

00:41:40.748 --> 00:41:41.748
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

00:41:41.916 --> 00:41:42.916
Not now!

00:41:43.585 --> 00:41:45.419
Bob. I'm sorry.

00:41:46.379 --> 00:41:47.379
-Welcome home.
-Thank you, sir.

00:41:47.463 --> 00:41:49.590
Looking fit, Robert.
Harvard agrees with you.

00:41:49.716 --> 00:41:50.924
-Mr. Blair.
-Fit and rested.

00:41:51.050 --> 00:41:53.969
Could you give us a moment,
please, Robert? Thank you.

00:41:55.638 --> 00:41:58.807
I will procure your votes for you,
as I promised.

00:41:59.726 --> 00:42:03.061
You have always kept your word to me.

00:42:04.230 --> 00:42:06.440
Those Southern men are coming.

00:42:07.275 --> 00:42:10.110
I beg you, in the name
of gentle Christ, sir.

00:42:10.236 --> 00:42:11.236
I understand.

00:42:11.321 --> 00:42:13.030
Talk peace with these men.

00:42:13.114 --> 00:42:14.948
I understand, Preston.

00:42:17.577 --> 00:42:19.411
LATHAM: We have
one abstention so far.

00:42:19.495 --> 00:42:20.621
SCHELL: Jacob Graylor.

00:42:20.747 --> 00:42:22.748
He'd like to be
Federal Revenue Assessor

00:42:22.832 --> 00:42:24.583
for the 5th District of Pennsylvania.

00:42:25.001 --> 00:42:26.835
So the total of Representatives

00:42:26.961 --> 00:42:30.047
voting three weeks from today
is reduced to 182,

00:42:30.131 --> 00:42:32.049
which means 122 yes votes

00:42:32.133 --> 00:42:34.134
to reach the requisite
two-thirds of the House.

00:42:34.260 --> 00:42:36.929
Assuming all Republicans
vote for the amendment.

00:42:39.307 --> 00:42:41.725
Then despite our abstention,

00:42:41.809 --> 00:42:43.393
to reach a two-thirds majority,

00:42:43.478 --> 00:42:45.229
we remain twenty yeses short.

00:42:45.313 --> 00:42:46.355
For which we're seeking

00:42:46.481 --> 00:42:48.982
from among 64 lame duck Democrats.

00:42:49.442 --> 00:42:53.654
Fully 39 of these we deem
unredeemable no votes.

00:42:55.949 --> 00:42:57.991
The kind that hates niggers.

00:42:58.451 --> 00:43:00.661
Hates God for makin' niggers.

00:43:00.995 --> 00:43:03.747
The Good Lord on high
would despair of their souls.

00:43:03.831 --> 00:43:06.959
Thank you for that
pithy explanation, Mr. Bilbo.

00:43:07.085 --> 00:43:08.752
We've abandoned these 39 to

00:43:08.836 --> 00:43:10.504
the devil that possesses them.

00:43:10.588 --> 00:43:11.588
We would...

00:43:12.924 --> 00:43:16.426
The remaining lame ducks, on whom
we've been working with a purpose.

00:43:17.345 --> 00:43:18.428
Charles Hanson.

00:43:18.805 --> 00:43:20.180
Congressman.

00:43:21.516 --> 00:43:23.600
My colleagues and I would like
a moment of your time.

00:43:23.685 --> 00:43:25.477
I wonder if you've given much thought...

00:43:26.104 --> 00:43:27.354
Giles Stuart.

00:43:32.694 --> 00:43:34.194
Rather clumsy.

00:43:46.708 --> 00:43:48.292
LATHAM: Nelson Merrick.

00:43:54.882 --> 00:43:55.882
Homer Benson.

00:44:01.889 --> 00:44:03.557
My name is Richard Schell.

00:44:03.641 --> 00:44:06.059
I wanted you to have a look
at this prospectus here.

00:44:07.895 --> 00:44:09.062
And lastly,

00:44:10.982 --> 00:44:13.150
Clay Hawkins. Of Ohio.

00:44:14.068 --> 00:44:16.153
Tax Collector for the Western Reserve.

00:44:16.237 --> 00:44:17.821
That pays handsomely.

00:44:17.905 --> 00:44:19.656
Don't just reach
for the highest branches,

00:44:19.741 --> 00:44:21.575
they sway in every breeze.

00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:24.077
Assistant Port Inspector in Morristown

00:44:24.203 --> 00:44:25.662
looks like the ticket to me.

00:44:25.747 --> 00:44:27.581
Boats, they, they make me sick.

00:44:27.665 --> 00:44:29.708
So just stand on the dock.

00:44:30.001 --> 00:44:32.586
Let the Assistant Assistant
Port Inspector's stomach

00:44:32.712 --> 00:44:34.004
go weak.

00:44:36.090 --> 00:44:37.924
SEWARD: And, lastly,
Democratic yes vote

00:44:38.009 --> 00:44:39.926
number six, Hawkins.

00:44:40.011 --> 00:44:41.011
From Ohio.

00:44:41.095 --> 00:44:42.179
Six?

00:44:42.263 --> 00:44:43.847
Well, thus far.

00:44:43.931 --> 00:44:46.058
Plus Graylor's abstention.

00:44:46.517 --> 00:44:48.935
-From tiny acorns and so on.
-What did Hawkins get?

00:44:49.062 --> 00:44:51.188
Postmaster of the Millersburg
Post Office.

00:44:51.272 --> 00:44:52.606
He's selling himself cheap, ain't he?

00:44:52.690 --> 00:44:54.941
Well, he wanted Tax Collector
of the Western Reserve.

00:44:55.026 --> 00:44:57.110
First term Congressman
who couldn't manage reelection.

00:44:57.195 --> 00:44:58.278
I felt it unseemly

00:44:58.363 --> 00:44:59.863
and they bargained him down
to Postmaster.

00:44:59.947 --> 00:45:01.365
Scatter them over several
rounds of appointments

00:45:01.449 --> 00:45:02.866
so no one notices, then burn this ledger,

00:45:02.950 --> 00:45:05.035
please, after you're done.

00:45:08.081 --> 00:45:10.374
Time for my public opinion bath.

00:45:10.541 --> 00:45:11.792
Might as well let them in.

00:45:13.753 --> 00:45:15.921
Seven yeses with Mr. Ellis.

00:45:16.964 --> 00:45:18.465
Thirteen to go.

00:45:19.634 --> 00:45:21.134
One last item.

00:45:21.636 --> 00:45:23.428
An absurdity, but

00:45:24.472 --> 00:45:26.807
my associates report that
among the Representatives

00:45:26.933 --> 00:45:29.476
a fantastical rumor's bruited about,

00:45:29.977 --> 00:45:32.437
which I immediately disavowed,

00:45:32.897 --> 00:45:34.898
that you'd allowed
bleary old Preston Blair

00:45:34.982 --> 00:45:36.066
to sojourn to Richmond

00:45:36.150 --> 00:45:38.235
to invite Jeff Davis
to send commissioners

00:45:38.319 --> 00:45:40.904
up to Washington with a peace plan.

00:45:44.492 --> 00:45:47.244
I, of course, told them
that you would never.

00:45:47.328 --> 00:45:50.163
Not without consulting me, you wouldn't.

00:45:50.915 --> 00:45:53.166
Because why on earth would you?

00:47:19.837 --> 00:47:21.254
Much obliged.

00:47:28.346 --> 00:47:29.346
SEWARD: Why wasn't I consulted?

00:47:29.430 --> 00:47:30.931
I'm Secretary of State.

00:47:31.098 --> 00:47:34.601
And you informally send
a reactionary dotard to...

00:47:36.062 --> 00:47:37.437
What will happen, do you imagine,

00:47:37.563 --> 00:47:40.106
when these
peace commissioners arrive?

00:47:40.233 --> 00:47:41.274
We'll hear them out.

00:47:41.567 --> 00:47:43.026
Oh. Splendid.

00:47:43.402 --> 00:47:44.694
And next, the Democrats will invite them

00:47:44.779 --> 00:47:46.279
up to hearings on the Hill.

00:47:46.405 --> 00:47:48.949
And the newspapers...
Oh, the newspapers.

00:47:49.075 --> 00:47:50.450
The newspapers will ask,

00:47:50.576 --> 00:47:52.369
"Why risk enraging the Confederacy

00:47:52.453 --> 00:47:53.453
"over the issue of slavery

00:47:53.538 --> 00:47:55.914
"when they're here to make peace?"

00:47:57.375 --> 00:47:59.960
We'll lose every Democrat we've got,

00:48:00.044 --> 00:48:01.628
more than likely
conservative Republicans

00:48:01.712 --> 00:48:03.296
will join them, and all our work,

00:48:03.422 --> 00:48:05.715
all our preparing the ground for the vote

00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:06.967
laid waste for naught.

00:48:07.051 --> 00:48:08.802
The Blairs promised support
for the amendment

00:48:08.886 --> 00:48:09.886
if we listen to these people.

00:48:09.971 --> 00:48:11.805
Oh, the Blairs promise, do they?

00:48:11.931 --> 00:48:12.973
You think they'll keep their promise

00:48:13.099 --> 00:48:14.140
once we've heard these delegates

00:48:14.225 --> 00:48:16.142
and refused them,
which we will have to do,

00:48:16.227 --> 00:48:17.727
since their proposal most certainly

00:48:17.812 --> 00:48:19.145
will be predicated on

00:48:19.230 --> 00:48:20.814
keeping their slaves!

00:48:20.898 --> 00:48:23.441
What hope for
any Democratic votes, Willum,

00:48:23.651 --> 00:48:25.735
if word gets out that
I've refused a chance

00:48:25.820 --> 00:48:27.487
to end the war?

00:48:27.947 --> 00:48:29.739
You think word won't get out?

00:48:30.741 --> 00:48:32.242
In Washington?

00:48:33.995 --> 00:48:35.996
It's either the amendment
or this Confederate peace.

00:48:36.122 --> 00:48:37.914
You cannot have both.

00:48:38.666 --> 00:48:41.334

"Speak then to me."

A disaster. This is a disaster.

00:48:48.259 --> 00:48:50.594
Time is a great thickener
of things, Willum.

00:48:50.678 --> 00:48:52.470
Yes, I suppose it is.

00:48:52.972 --> 00:48:55.015
Actually, I have no idea
what you mean by that.

00:48:57.184 --> 00:48:59.019
Get me 13 votes.

00:48:59.979 --> 00:49:02.314

ain't here yet.

half the men in Boston.

What do you think
their families think about me?

00:49:28.883 --> 00:49:30.800
The only reason they don't
throw things and spit on me

00:49:30.885 --> 00:49:32.385
is 'cause you're so popular.

I can't concentrate on,
on British Mercantile Law.

00:49:36.307 --> 00:49:38.475
I don't care about British Mercantile Law.

00:49:40.686 --> 00:49:42.354
I might not even want to be a lawyer.

00:49:44.106 --> 00:49:47.484
It's a sturdy profession.
And a useful one.

00:49:47.568 --> 00:49:52.572
Yes, and I want to be useful,
but now, not afterwards.

I ain't wearing them things, Mr. Slade.

00:49:54.492 --> 00:49:55.492
They never fit right.

00:49:55.576 --> 00:49:57.827
The missus will have you
wear them. Don't think...

00:49:57.912 --> 00:49:59.829
You're delaying,
that's your favorite tactic.

-Be useful...
-You won't tell me no,

00:50:07.380 --> 00:50:11.091
is one of life's
less profitable occupations.

00:50:11.217 --> 00:50:12.217
(CHUCKLING)

00:50:12.885 --> 00:50:15.011
Why do some slaves
cost more than others?

00:50:15.096 --> 00:50:16.429
Uh, if they're still young and healthy,

00:50:16.555 --> 00:50:18.098
or if the women can
still conceive, they pay more.

00:50:18.182 --> 00:50:20.850
Put them back in the box, you scoundrel.

00:50:22.269 --> 00:50:24.187
We'll return them to Mr. Gardner's studio

00:50:24.271 --> 00:50:25.772
day after next.

00:50:26.857 --> 00:50:28.608
Be careful with them now.

00:50:29.443 --> 00:50:31.194
These things should have
stayed on the calf.

00:50:31.278 --> 00:50:35.699
When you were a slave,
Mr. Slade, did they beat you?

00:50:35.783 --> 00:50:37.283
I was born a free man.

00:50:37.410 --> 00:50:40.203
Nobody beat me
except I beat them right back.

00:50:40.287 --> 00:50:42.288
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

00:50:42.373 --> 00:50:43.373
Mr. Lincoln...

00:50:43.457 --> 00:50:47.377
Mrs. Keckley was a slave.
Ask her if she was beaten.

00:50:47.461 --> 00:50:49.295
-TAD: Were you...
-Tad.

00:50:49.797 --> 00:50:50.880
KECKLEY: I was beaten
with a fire shovel

00:50:50.965 --> 00:50:52.215
when I was younger than you.

00:50:52.299 --> 00:50:55.135
You should go to Mrs. Lincoln.
She's in Willie's room.

00:50:56.262 --> 00:50:57.470
She never goes in there.

00:50:57.596 --> 00:51:00.974
The reception line is already
stretching out the door.

00:51:03.310 --> 00:51:05.895
See, I'll be the only man
over 15 and under 65

00:51:05.980 --> 00:51:08.064
in this whole place not in uniform.

00:51:08.149 --> 00:51:09.607
I'm under 15.

00:51:30.296 --> 00:51:32.297
My head hurts so.

00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.511
I prayed for death the night Willie died.

00:51:39.680 --> 00:51:42.849
My headaches are how I know
I didn't get my wish.

00:51:45.352 --> 00:51:48.855
How to endure the long afternoon

00:51:48.939 --> 00:51:50.356
and deep into the night.

00:51:50.483 --> 00:51:51.691
I know.

00:51:51.776 --> 00:51:54.944
Trying not to think about him.
How will I manage?

00:51:55.029 --> 00:51:56.863
-Somehow. You will.
-Somehow?

00:51:56.989 --> 00:51:57.989
Oh.

00:51:58.073 --> 00:52:00.116
Somehow. Somehow.

00:52:02.369 --> 00:52:03.787
Every party.

00:52:04.455 --> 00:52:05.705
Every...

00:52:08.793 --> 00:52:10.126
And now

00:52:11.504 --> 00:52:14.380
four years more in this terrible house,

00:52:14.507 --> 00:52:16.299
reproaching us.

00:52:17.843 --> 00:52:19.969
He was a very sick little boy.

00:52:20.054 --> 00:52:22.472
We should have canceled
that reception, shouldn't we?

00:52:22.556 --> 00:52:23.973
We didn't know how sick he was.

00:52:24.058 --> 00:52:25.642
I knew. I knew.

00:52:26.727 --> 00:52:29.062
I saw that night
(VOICE BREAKING) he was dying.

00:52:29.188 --> 00:52:32.565
Three years ago,
the war was going so badly.

00:52:32.691 --> 00:52:35.401
We had to put on a face.

00:52:35.486 --> 00:52:36.986
(VOICE BREAKING)
But I saw Willie was dying.

00:52:37.112 --> 00:52:38.655
Molly...

00:52:38.739 --> 00:52:40.490
(SOBBING) I saw him.

00:52:42.910 --> 00:52:44.410
It's too hard.

00:52:48.082 --> 00:52:49.082
(KISSES)

00:52:50.417 --> 00:52:51.751
Too hard.

00:52:57.424 --> 00:52:59.008
-(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
-(LAUGHING)

00:52:59.093 --> 00:53:01.177
Oh, gracious saints!

00:53:01.262 --> 00:53:03.012
(INDISTINCT)

00:53:13.899 --> 00:53:16.776
She's just ten feet yonder.
I'd like to keep my job.

00:53:16.861 --> 00:53:18.194
-How nice to see you.
-Nice to see you.

00:53:18.612 --> 00:53:21.781
Senator Sumner.
It's been much too long.

00:53:21.907 --> 00:53:23.533
"Oh, who can look
on that celestial face..."

00:53:23.617 --> 00:53:24.617
And?

00:53:24.702 --> 00:53:26.202
James Ashley, ma'am.
We've met several times.

00:53:26.287 --> 00:53:27.954
Praise heavens, praise heavens.

00:53:28.080 --> 00:53:30.290
Just when I had abandoned
hope of amusement,

00:53:30.374 --> 00:53:31.624
it's the Chairman of the House Ways

00:53:31.750 --> 00:53:33.626
-and Means Committee.
-Mrs. Lincoln.

00:53:34.086 --> 00:53:36.379
Madame President, if you please.

00:53:36.964 --> 00:53:38.464
(LAUGHS)

00:53:38.549 --> 00:53:40.216
Don't convene another subcommittee

00:53:40.301 --> 00:53:41.384
to investigate me, sir.

00:53:41.468 --> 00:53:43.303
I'm teasing. Smile, Senator Wade.

00:53:43.429 --> 00:53:45.305
I believe I am smiling, Mrs. Lincoln.

00:53:45.389 --> 00:53:46.556
As long as your household accounts

00:53:46.640 --> 00:53:48.474
are in order, madam,

00:53:48.601 --> 00:53:50.894
we'll have no need to investigate them.

00:53:50.978 --> 00:53:53.897
You have always taken such a lively,

00:53:53.981 --> 00:53:57.817
even prosecutorial interest
in my household accounts.

00:53:57.902 --> 00:54:00.570
Your household accounts have
always been so interesting.

00:54:00.654 --> 00:54:02.655
Yes, thank you. It's true.

00:54:03.282 --> 00:54:05.658
The miracles I have wrought

00:54:05.743 --> 00:54:08.244
out of fertilizer bills and cutlery invoices,

00:54:08.329 --> 00:54:09.954
but I had to.

00:54:11.165 --> 00:54:13.166
Four years ago, when
the President and I arrived,

00:54:13.250 --> 00:54:14.751
this was pure pigsty.

00:54:14.835 --> 00:54:16.753
Tobacco stains on the Turkey carpets.

00:54:16.837 --> 00:54:20.423
Mushrooms, green as the moon,
sprouting from the ceilings.

00:54:20.507 --> 00:54:23.760
And a pauper's pittance
allotted for improvements.

00:54:23.844 --> 00:54:26.846
As if your committee joined
with all of Washington

00:54:26.931 --> 00:54:28.431
awaiting in what you anticipated

00:54:28.515 --> 00:54:30.975
would be our comfort in squalor.

00:54:31.435 --> 00:54:33.770
Further proof that my husband and I

00:54:33.854 --> 00:54:35.521
were prairie primitives

00:54:35.648 --> 00:54:38.691
unsuited to the position to
which an error of the people,

00:54:38.817 --> 00:54:42.278
a flaw in the Democratic
process had elevated us.

00:54:42.363 --> 00:54:45.281
The past is the past. It's a new year now

00:54:45.366 --> 00:54:49.535
and we are all getting along,
or so they tell me.

00:54:49.620 --> 00:54:51.788
I gather we are working together.

00:54:51.872 --> 00:54:53.873
The White House and the other House,

00:54:53.958 --> 00:54:55.208
hatching little plans together.

00:54:55.334 --> 00:54:56.376
-ROBERT: Mother.
-What?

00:54:56.460 --> 00:54:58.544
-You're creating a bottleneck.
-Oh.

00:54:58.671 --> 00:55:00.505
Oh, I'm detaining you.

00:55:01.215 --> 00:55:04.050
And more importantly,
the people behind you.

00:55:04.843 --> 00:55:07.470
How the people love my husband.

00:55:08.055 --> 00:55:12.058
They flock to see him by
their thousands on public days.

00:55:12.559 --> 00:55:15.561
They will never love you
the way they love him.

00:55:16.689 --> 00:55:19.816
How difficult it must be
for you to know that

00:55:19.900 --> 00:55:22.568
and yet how important to remember it.

00:55:33.163 --> 00:55:35.999
Since we have the floor
next in the debate,

00:55:36.083 --> 00:55:38.418
I thought I'd suggest you might

00:55:39.086 --> 00:55:41.004
temper your contribution

00:55:41.088 --> 00:55:44.090
so as not to frighten
our conservative friends.

00:55:44.174 --> 00:55:46.259
Ashley insists you're ensuring approval

00:55:46.343 --> 00:55:48.261
by dispensing patronage

00:55:48.345 --> 00:55:51.014
to otherwise undeserving Democrats.

00:55:51.098 --> 00:55:52.932
I can't ensure a single damn thing

00:55:53.058 --> 00:55:54.684
if you scare the whole House silly

00:55:54.768 --> 00:55:56.519
with talk of land appropriations

00:55:56.603 --> 00:55:58.521
and revolutionary tribunals.

00:55:58.605 --> 00:56:01.024
When the war ends, I intend to

00:56:01.108 --> 00:56:05.903
push for full equality,
the Negro vote, and much more.

00:56:06.613 --> 00:56:08.322
Congress shall mandate the seizure

00:56:08.449 --> 00:56:09.949
of every foot of Rebel land

00:56:10.075 --> 00:56:12.618
and every dollar of their property.

00:56:13.954 --> 00:56:15.496
We'll use their confiscated wealth

00:56:15.622 --> 00:56:17.540
to establish hundreds of thousands

00:56:17.624 --> 00:56:19.167
of free Negro farmers

00:56:19.293 --> 00:56:21.919
and, at their side,
soldiers armed to occupy

00:56:22.004 --> 00:56:23.629
and transform the heritage of traitors.

00:56:25.257 --> 00:56:26.716
We'll build up a land down there

00:56:26.800 --> 00:56:29.969
of free men and free women
and free children and freedom.

00:56:31.638 --> 00:56:34.807
The nation needs to know
that we have such plans.

00:56:35.642 --> 00:56:38.519
That's the untempered version
of reconstruction.

00:56:40.647 --> 00:56:42.315
(CHUCKLING) It is not...

00:56:42.441 --> 00:56:44.984
It's not quite exactly what I intend.

00:56:47.321 --> 00:56:50.698
But we shall oppose one another
in the course of time.

00:56:50.824 --> 00:56:52.867
Now we're working together,
and I'm asking you...

00:56:52.993 --> 00:56:54.202
For patience, I expect.

00:56:54.328 --> 00:56:56.037
When the people disagree,
bringing them together

00:56:56.163 --> 00:56:58.664
requires going slow
until they're ready to...

00:56:58.791 --> 00:57:00.833
Shit on the people and what they want

00:57:00.959 --> 00:57:01.918
and what they're ready for.

00:57:02.002 --> 00:57:03.211
I don't give a goddamn about the people

00:57:03.337 --> 00:57:04.545
and what they want.

00:57:04.671 --> 00:57:05.797
This is the face of someone

00:57:05.881 --> 00:57:07.256
who has fought long and hard

00:57:07.341 --> 00:57:08.466
for the good of the people

00:57:08.550 --> 00:57:11.219
without caring much for any of them.

00:57:11.345 --> 00:57:13.054
And I look a lot worse without my wig.

00:57:14.348 --> 00:57:17.850
The people elected me
to represent them,

00:57:17.976 --> 00:57:20.645
to lead them, and I lead.
You ought to try it.

00:57:23.357 --> 00:57:26.484
I admire your zeal, Mr. Stevens

00:57:26.568 --> 00:57:30.363
and I have tried to profit
from the example of it, but

00:57:31.365 --> 00:57:32.406
if I'd listened to you,

00:57:32.533 --> 00:57:33.866
I'd have declared every slave free

00:57:33.992 --> 00:57:36.494
the minute the first shell
struck Fort Sumter.

00:57:36.578 --> 00:57:38.121
And the border states
would have gone over

00:57:38.205 --> 00:57:40.373
to the Confederacy,
the war would have been lost

00:57:40.499 --> 00:57:41.874
and the Union along with it,

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:43.918
and instead of abolishing slavery

00:57:44.044 --> 00:57:45.711
as we hope to do in two weeks,

00:57:45.838 --> 00:57:48.381
we'd be watching,
helpless as infants, as it spread

00:57:48.507 --> 00:57:50.591
from the American South
into South America.

00:57:50.717 --> 00:57:53.511
Oh, how you have longed
to say that to me.

00:57:54.388 --> 00:57:56.097
You claim you trust them,

00:57:56.223 --> 00:57:58.558
but you know what the people are.

00:57:59.393 --> 00:58:02.145
You know that the inner compass,

00:58:02.229 --> 00:58:04.730
that should direct the soul
towards justice

00:58:04.857 --> 00:58:08.442
has ossified in white men
and women, North and South,

00:58:08.569 --> 00:58:10.319
unto utter uselessness,

00:58:10.404 --> 00:58:12.613
through tolerating the evil of slavery.

00:58:12.739 --> 00:58:14.782
White people cannot bear the thought

00:58:14.908 --> 00:58:16.742
of sharing this country's
infinite abundance

00:58:16.869 --> 00:58:18.411
with Negroes.

00:58:20.747 --> 00:58:23.749
A compass, I learned
when I was surveying,

00:58:24.418 --> 00:58:27.587
it'll point you true north
from where you're standing.

00:58:27.713 --> 00:58:29.505
But it's got no advice about

00:58:29.590 --> 00:58:32.216
the swamps and deserts and chasms

00:58:32.301 --> 00:58:34.844
that you'll encounter along the way.

00:58:34.928 --> 00:58:36.345
If in pursuit of your destination,

00:58:36.430 --> 00:58:38.347
you plunge ahead,
heedless of obstacles

00:58:38.432 --> 00:58:41.893
and achieve nothing more
than to sink in a swamp,

00:58:43.270 --> 00:58:45.646
what's the use of knowing true north?

00:59:01.955 --> 00:59:05.291
Robert's going to plead
with us to let him enlist.

00:59:07.836 --> 00:59:11.964
Make time to talk to Robbie.
You only have time for Tad.

00:59:12.049 --> 00:59:13.507
Tad is young.

00:59:13.967 --> 00:59:17.720
So is Robert. Too young for the Army.

00:59:17.804 --> 00:59:20.806
Plenty of boys younger
than Robert signing up.

00:59:23.810 --> 00:59:25.478
Don't take Robbie.

00:59:26.188 --> 00:59:27.939
Don't let me lose my son.

00:59:28.023 --> 00:59:29.023
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

00:59:29.149 --> 00:59:31.859
Go away! We're occupied!

00:59:35.697 --> 00:59:36.948
Secretary Stanton has sent over

00:59:37.032 --> 00:59:38.491
to tell you that as of half an hour ago

00:59:38.617 --> 00:59:40.993
the shelling of Wilmington Harbor
has commenced.

00:59:44.164 --> 00:59:45.706
(DOOR CLOSING)

00:59:46.041 --> 00:59:48.876
They cannot possibly maintain
under this kind of an assault.

00:59:49.002 --> 00:59:51.462
Terry has got 10,000 men
surrounding the goddamn port.

00:59:51.546 --> 00:59:52.546
Why doesn't he answer...

00:59:52.673 --> 00:59:54.590
Fort Fisher is a mountain
of a building, Edwin.

00:59:54.675 --> 00:59:55.758
It's the largest fort they have, sir.

00:59:55.842 --> 00:59:57.718
Twenty-two big Seacoast guns

on entering the water closet,

01:01:46.995 --> 01:01:49.580
that the only decoration therein

01:01:49.664 --> 01:01:52.291
was a portrait of George Washington.

Washington's portrait.

Finally, His Lordship couldn't
resist and asked Mr. Allen

01:02:08.350 --> 01:02:10.059
had he noticed it,
the picture of Washington.

01:02:10.143 --> 01:02:11.602
He had.

01:02:11.686 --> 01:02:13.270
Well, what did he think of its placement,

01:02:13.355 --> 01:02:16.399
did it seem appropriately
located to Mr. Allen?

01:02:16.483 --> 01:02:18.567
Mr. Allen said it did.

I never had much of schooling,

01:16:26.874 --> 01:16:29.793
but I read Euclid
in an old book I borrowed.

Little enough ever found its way in here,

01:16:33.339 --> 01:16:35.674
but once learnt, it stayed learnt.

01:16:38.552 --> 01:16:41.304
Euclid's first common notion is this,

01:16:41.973 --> 01:16:44.266
"Things which are equal
to the same thing

01:16:44.350 --> 01:16:47.227
"are equal to each other."

01:16:48.896 --> 01:16:51.231
That's a rule of mathematical reasoning.

01:16:51.357 --> 01:16:53.608

In his book, mmm,

01:17:01.701 --> 01:17:04.202
Euclid says this is "self-evident."

01:17:05.162 --> 01:17:06.121
You see? There it is,

01:17:10.668 --> 01:17:12.585
It is a self-evident truth

01:17:12.712 --> 01:17:15.755
that things which are equal
to the same thing

01:17:15.881 --> 01:17:18.091
are equal to each other.

01:17:21.178 --> 01:17:23.054

You refused to say that all humans are...

01:23:55.781 --> 01:23:57.573
Well, human.

01:23:58.283 --> 01:24:00.702
Have you lost your very soul,
Mr. Stevens?

01:24:01.036 --> 01:24:02.286
Is there nothing you won't say?

01:24:02.371 --> 01:24:04.038
I'm sorry you're nauseous, Asa.

01:24:04.123 --> 01:24:05.790
That must be unpleasant.

01:24:06.959 --> 01:24:08.292
I want the amendment to pass,

01:24:08.377 --> 01:24:10.294
so that the Constitution's first

01:24:10.421 --> 01:24:11.796
and only mention of slavery

01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:14.048
is its absolute prohibition.

01:24:14.133 --> 01:24:16.467
For this amendment, for which
I have worked all my life

01:24:16.593 --> 01:24:19.220
and for which countless
colored men and women

01:24:19.304 --> 01:24:20.388
have fought and died

01:24:20.472 --> 01:24:23.474
and now hundreds
of thousands of soldiers...

01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:25.143
No, sir, no.

01:24:26.145 --> 01:24:29.313

nothing I won't say.

You said you wanted to help me.

01:25:09.772 --> 01:25:13.524
But this is just a clumsy attempt
to discourage me.

01:25:13.650 --> 01:25:16.027
I've been to Army hospitals.
I've seen surgeries.

01:25:16.111 --> 01:25:19.030
I went and visited
the malaria barges with Mama.

01:25:19.156 --> 01:25:21.032
She told me she didn't take you inside.

01:25:21.116 --> 01:25:22.533
I snuck in afterwards.

01:25:22.659 --> 01:25:24.952
I've seen what it's like.
This changes nothing.

01:25:27.790 --> 01:25:29.165
Well, at all rate, son,

01:25:29.249 --> 01:25:31.083

-Good to see you again.
-Good to see you.

Well, boys, first question.

-Robert.

-Good to meet you, Robert.
-Nice to meet you.

-What's your name?
-Kevin.

Tell me your names as I go past.

01:25:54.775 --> 01:25:56.150
I'd like to know who I'm talking to. Kevin.

-Mr. President. John.
-John. I've seen you before.

you get some steak.

01:27:27.075 --> 01:27:29.035
I have to do this, and I will do it.

01:27:29.119 --> 01:27:30.494

your permission to enlist.

by how many sons

01:27:34.583 --> 01:27:37.126

as I now say to mine,
"I'm Commander in Chief."

01:27:49.806 --> 01:27:51.223
So, in point of fact,
without my permission

01:27:51.350 --> 01:27:54.393
you ain't enlisting
in nothing nowhere, young man.

Or I will feel ashamed of myself
for the rest of my life!

from the front lines

messages for General Grant.

He'll die uselessly.

for being born.

For trapping you in a marriage

01:29:01.169 --> 01:29:02.753
that's only ever given you grief

01:29:02.879 --> 01:29:05.006
-and caused you regret.
-That's simply not true.

01:29:05.090 --> 01:29:06.757
And if the slaughter of Cold Harbor's

01:29:06.883 --> 01:29:09.176
on your hands same as Grant,
God help us.

01:29:09.553 --> 01:29:11.762

the uncountable corpses!

I demand of you to try
and take the liberal

01:29:21.565 --> 01:29:23.441
and not the selfish point of view.

01:29:23.567 --> 01:29:24.775
Robert will never forgive himself.

01:29:24.901 --> 01:29:26.444
You imagine he'll forgive us

01:29:26.528 --> 01:29:30.114
if we continue to stifle
this very natural ambition?

01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:33.409
And if I refuse to take the high road?

01:29:36.246 --> 01:29:39.582
If I won't pick up the rough old cross,

01:29:39.958 --> 01:29:42.793
will you threaten me again
with the madhouse?

01:29:42.878 --> 01:29:46.380
As you did when I couldn't
stop crying over Willie.

01:29:46.465 --> 01:29:48.883

01:29:48.967 --> 01:29:51.635

looked like.

01:29:51.720 --> 01:29:53.220

01:29:53.305 --> 01:29:55.389
-to countenance, to help me!
-That's right, that's right...

as to comfort Tad,

dangerously sick,

but beside himself with grief!

from morning to night!

01:36:04.008 --> 01:36:06.093
Yeah, Mr. Bilbo. Gentlemen.

01:36:06.177 --> 01:36:07.177
Sir.

01:36:07.554 --> 01:36:09.054
Why are you here? No offense,

01:36:09.180 --> 01:36:12.474
but Mr. Seward's banished
the very mention of your name.

01:36:12.559 --> 01:36:14.226
He won't even let us use fifty cent pieces

01:36:14.352 --> 01:36:16.186
'cause they've got your face on 'em.

01:36:16.938 --> 01:36:19.523
The Secretary of State here
tells me that you got

01:36:19.607 --> 01:36:22.067
11Democrats in the bag.
That's encouraging.

01:36:22.193 --> 01:36:25.904
Oh, you've got no cause
to be encouraged, sir.

01:36:27.115 --> 01:36:29.241
Are we being fired?

01:36:30.618 --> 01:36:34.538
"We have heard the chimes
at midnight, Master Shallow."

01:36:35.540 --> 01:36:36.999
I'm here to alert you boys

01:36:37.083 --> 01:36:40.210
that the great day of reckoning
is nigh upon us.

01:36:40.628 --> 01:36:42.546
The Democrats we've yet to bag, sir,

01:36:42.630 --> 01:36:45.382
the patronage jobs simply won't bag 'em.

01:36:45.467 --> 01:36:48.093
They require more convincing,
Mr. President.

01:36:49.721 --> 01:36:52.598
Mm-hmm. Do me a favor, will you?

01:36:52.724 --> 01:36:53.765
Sure.

01:36:53.892 --> 01:36:55.893
It snagged my eye
in the paper this morning

01:36:55.977 --> 01:36:57.394
that the Governor Curtin

01:36:57.479 --> 01:36:59.813
is set to declare a winner in the disputed

01:36:59.898 --> 01:37:00.898
Congressional election for the...

01:37:00.982 --> 01:37:02.149
Pennsylvania 16th District.

01:37:02.567 --> 01:37:05.319
District.
What a joy to be comprehended.

01:37:05.403 --> 01:37:07.988
Hop on a train to Philadel,
call on the Governor...

01:37:08.072 --> 01:37:09.448
Send Latham. Or Schell.

01:37:09.574 --> 01:37:11.533
No, he'll do fine.
Just polish yourself up first.

01:37:11.618 --> 01:37:12.951
(CHUCKLES)

01:37:13.495 --> 01:37:15.579
The incumbent is claiming
he won it. Name of...

01:37:15.663 --> 01:37:16.705
Coffroth.

01:37:16.789 --> 01:37:17.956
-That's him.
-SCHELL: Coffroth.

01:37:18.082 --> 01:37:19.958
-He's a Democrat.
-I understand that.

01:37:20.627 --> 01:37:22.753
-Silly name.
-LINCOLN: A little bit silly.

01:37:23.296 --> 01:37:26.215
Uh, tell Governor Curtin
it'd be much appreciated

01:37:26.299 --> 01:37:28.926
if he'd invite
the House of Representatives

01:37:29.010 --> 01:37:30.052
to decide who won.

01:37:30.136 --> 01:37:32.763
He's entitled to do that. He'll agree to it.

01:37:32.847 --> 01:37:35.140
Then advise Coffroth

01:37:35.266 --> 01:37:37.601
if he hopes to retain his seat,

01:37:37.685 --> 01:37:39.978
then he'd better pay a visit
to Thaddeus Stevens.

01:37:40.104 --> 01:37:41.688
SEWARD: Well, pity poor Coffroth.

01:37:41.773 --> 01:37:42.814
(LAUGHTER)

01:37:42.941 --> 01:37:43.899
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

01:37:43.983 --> 01:37:45.275
It opens!

01:37:52.283 --> 01:37:53.659
You are Canfrey?

01:37:55.662 --> 01:37:58.830
Coffroth, Mr. Stevens.
Alexander Coffroth.

01:37:58.957 --> 01:38:01.875
Are we representatives
of the same state?

01:38:01.960 --> 01:38:03.919
(STAMMERS) Yes, sir.
We sit only three desks apart.

01:38:04.003 --> 01:38:05.837
I haven't noticed you.

01:38:06.464 --> 01:38:09.466
I'm a Republican and you,
Coughdrop, are a Democrat?

01:38:09.551 --> 01:38:12.928
(STAMMERING) Well, uh, I, um,
that is to say...

01:38:13.012 --> 01:38:15.013
The modern travesty
of Thomas Jefferson's

01:38:15.139 --> 01:38:16.265
political organization

01:38:16.349 --> 01:38:18.100
to which you've attached
yourself like a barnacle

01:38:18.184 --> 01:38:21.478
has the effrontery to call
itself the Democratic Party.

01:38:21.563 --> 01:38:24.523
You are a Democrat.
What's the matter with you?

01:38:24.649 --> 01:38:26.233
Are you wicked?

01:38:26.317 --> 01:38:27.901
-Well, I felt...
-Never mind.

01:38:27.986 --> 01:38:30.237
Coffsnot, you were
ignominiously trounced

01:38:30.321 --> 01:38:31.863
at the hustings in November's election

01:38:31.990 --> 01:38:33.949
by your worthy challenger,
a Republican.

01:38:34.033 --> 01:38:35.909
No, sir, I was not trounced.

01:38:35.994 --> 01:38:37.995
He wants to steal my seat.
I didn't lose the election.

01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:39.538
What difference does it make
if you lost or not?

01:38:39.664 --> 01:38:43.834
The governor of our state
is... A Democrat?

01:38:45.003 --> 01:38:47.337
No, he's, he's a...

01:38:48.339 --> 01:38:49.298
(STAMMERING)

01:38:49.382 --> 01:38:52.676
Re-...

01:38:53.761 --> 01:38:56.013
-...-pub-...-lic-...
-...-pub-...-lic-...

01:38:56.097 --> 01:38:57.639
-...-can.
-...-can. Republican.

01:38:57.724 --> 01:38:59.933
I know what he is.
This is a rhetorical exercise.

01:39:00.018 --> 01:39:01.893
And Congress is controlled
by what party? Yours?

01:39:04.397 --> 01:39:06.189
Your party was beaten.

01:39:06.274 --> 01:39:08.817
Your challenger's party
now controls the House

01:39:08.901 --> 01:39:11.612
and hence the House
Committee on Elections,

01:39:11.696 --> 01:39:14.156
so you have been beaten.

01:39:14.240 --> 01:39:17.159
You shall shortly be sent home
in disgrace. Unless...

01:39:17.243 --> 01:39:18.243
I know what I must do, sir.

01:39:18.369 --> 01:39:20.621
I will immediately become
a Republican and vote yes...

01:39:20.705 --> 01:39:21.705
No!

01:39:22.457 --> 01:39:24.875
Coffroth will vote yes,

01:39:25.460 --> 01:39:26.918
but Coffroth will remain a Democrat

01:39:27.045 --> 01:39:28.003
until after he does so.

01:39:28.087 --> 01:39:29.671
Why wait to switch? I'm happy to...

01:39:29.756 --> 01:39:32.007
We want to show the amendment
has bipartisan support,

01:39:32.091 --> 01:39:34.051
you idiot. Early in the next Congress,

01:39:34.135 --> 01:39:36.386
when I tell you to do so,
you will switch parties.

01:39:36.471 --> 01:39:40.015
Now congratulations
on your victory, and get out.

01:39:40.099 --> 01:39:42.559
Now, give me the names

01:39:42.644 --> 01:39:44.603
of whoever else you've been hunting.

01:39:44.937 --> 01:39:46.229
Aw, hell.

01:39:46.606 --> 01:39:47.648
George Yeaman.

01:39:47.732 --> 01:39:49.149
Yes. Yeaman.

01:39:49.901 --> 01:39:51.360
Among others.

01:39:51.444 --> 01:39:53.070
-But Yeaman, that'd count.
-Yeah.

01:39:53.154 --> 01:39:54.946
Y-E-A-M-A-N.

01:39:55.406 --> 01:39:56.740
I got it.

01:39:57.617 --> 01:39:58.700
Kentucky.

01:40:01.663 --> 01:40:04.706
I can't vote for
the amendment, Mr. Lincoln.

01:40:12.256 --> 01:40:14.424
I saw a barge once, Mr. Yeaman,

01:40:15.093 --> 01:40:17.427
filled with colored men in chains

01:40:17.553 --> 01:40:18.762
heading down the Mississippi

01:40:18.888 --> 01:40:20.764
to the New Orleans slave markets.

01:40:22.225 --> 01:40:23.433
It sickened me.

01:40:24.769 --> 01:40:27.229
And more than that,
it brought a shadow down.

01:40:28.773 --> 01:40:31.108
A pall around my eyes.

01:40:32.777 --> 01:40:35.445
Slavery troubled me
as long as I can remember

01:40:36.280 --> 01:40:38.490
in a way it never troubled my father,

01:40:39.492 --> 01:40:41.785
though he hated it, in his own fashion.

01:40:43.246 --> 01:40:45.163
He knew no smallholding dirt farmer

01:40:45.289 --> 01:40:46.957
could compete with slave plantations

01:40:47.083 --> 01:40:49.334
so he took us out from Kentucky

01:40:49.460 --> 01:40:50.669
to get away from 'em.

01:40:50.795 --> 01:40:52.587
He wanted Indiana kept free.

01:40:54.132 --> 01:40:55.799
He wasn't a kind man

01:40:57.427 --> 01:41:00.846
but there was a rough,
moral urge for fairness,

01:41:00.972 --> 01:41:02.305
for freedom in him.

01:41:03.349 --> 01:41:05.308
I learnt that from him, I suppose.

01:41:06.185 --> 01:41:07.519
If little else from him.

01:41:10.148 --> 01:41:12.357
We didn't care
for one another, Mr. Yeaman.

01:41:15.987 --> 01:41:17.571
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

01:41:17.655 --> 01:41:20.741
Loving kindness, that most
ordinary thing, came to me

01:41:20.825 --> 01:41:22.993
from other sources. I'm grateful for that.

01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:25.954
Well, I hate it, too, sir.

01:41:27.331 --> 01:41:28.665
Slavery, but...

01:41:29.709 --> 01:41:32.627
But we're entirely unready
for emancipation.

01:41:33.171 --> 01:41:34.296
And there's too many questions...

01:41:34.380 --> 01:41:35.714
We're unready for peace, too, ain't we?

01:41:35.840 --> 01:41:36.840
(BOTH CHUCKLE)

01:41:36.966 --> 01:41:39.176
Yeah, when it comes,
it'll present us with conundrums

01:41:39.302 --> 01:41:42.596
and dangers greater than
any we faced during the war,

01:41:42.680 --> 01:41:44.431
bloody as it's been.

01:41:44.515 --> 01:41:48.393
We'll have to extemporize and
experiment with what it is,

01:41:48.519 --> 01:41:49.644
when it is.

01:41:53.024 --> 01:41:54.691
I read your speech, George.

01:41:55.651 --> 01:41:57.319
Negroes and the vote,

01:41:58.404 --> 01:41:59.529
that's a puzzle.

01:42:00.406 --> 01:42:04.034
No, no. But, but, but Negroes can't

01:42:04.869 --> 01:42:07.913
uh, vote, Mr. Lincoln.

01:42:09.165 --> 01:42:10.832
You're not suggesting
we enfranchise colored people?

01:42:11.000 --> 01:42:12.626
I'm asking only that

01:42:12.710 --> 01:42:16.546
you disenthrall yourself
from the slave powers.

01:42:18.090 --> 01:42:19.174
I'll let you know when

01:42:19.258 --> 01:42:20.884
there's an offer on my desk
for surrender.

01:42:21.010 --> 01:42:22.177
There's none before us now.

01:42:22.261 --> 01:42:23.386
What's before us now,

01:42:23.513 --> 01:42:26.223
that's the vote on the 13th Amendment.

01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:29.851
And it's going to be so very close.

01:42:33.064 --> 01:42:35.023
You see what you can do.

01:42:44.367 --> 01:42:45.867
I can't make sense of it.

01:42:46.410 --> 01:42:48.370
What he died for.

01:42:50.957 --> 01:42:53.250
Mr. Lincoln, I hate them all.

01:42:53.376 --> 01:42:55.460
I do. All black people.

01:42:55.753 --> 01:42:56.920
(DOOR OPENS)

01:42:58.422 --> 01:42:59.589
(DOOR SHUTS)

01:43:04.971 --> 01:43:07.222
I am a prejudiced man.

01:43:09.934 --> 01:43:11.810
Well, I'd change that in you if I could,

01:43:12.061 --> 01:43:13.436
but that's not why I come.

01:43:14.272 --> 01:43:15.939
I might be wrong, Mr. Hutton,

01:43:16.065 --> 01:43:19.442
but I expect colored people
most likely be free.

01:43:20.319 --> 01:43:21.570
And when that's so, it's simple truth

01:43:21.654 --> 01:43:23.655
that your brother's bravery

01:43:23.781 --> 01:43:25.615
and his death helped make it so.

01:43:27.285 --> 01:43:28.493
Only you can decide whether

01:43:28.619 --> 01:43:29.953
that's sense enough for you or not.

01:43:33.791 --> 01:43:35.584
My deepest sympathies to your family.

01:43:42.133 --> 01:43:43.758
(CARRIAGE PULLS AWAY)

01:43:48.306 --> 01:43:50.849
We've managed our members
to a fare-thee-well.

01:43:52.143 --> 01:43:53.310
You've had no defections

01:43:53.436 --> 01:43:55.353
from the Republican right to trouble you.

01:43:56.647 --> 01:43:58.356
Whereas as to what you promised,

01:43:59.442 --> 01:44:01.443
where the hell are the commissioners?

01:44:02.361 --> 01:44:04.821
Oh, my God. It's true.

01:44:06.490 --> 01:44:08.783
You... You lied to me.

01:44:09.118 --> 01:44:12.579
Mr. Lincoln, you evaded
my request for a denial

01:44:12.663 --> 01:44:14.664
that there is a Confederate peace offer,

01:44:14.790 --> 01:44:16.625
because there is one!

01:44:16.959 --> 01:44:20.962
We are absolutely guaranteed
to lose the whole thing.

01:44:21.047 --> 01:44:23.965
We don't need a goddamn
abolition amendment!

01:44:24.550 --> 01:44:26.343
Leave the Constitution alone!

01:44:26.677 --> 01:44:27.802
ASHLEY: What if
the peace commissioners

01:44:27.887 --> 01:44:29.346
appear today, or worse...

01:44:32.808 --> 01:44:35.018
I can't listen to this anymore.

01:44:37.188 --> 01:44:40.148
I can't accomplish a goddamn thing

01:44:40.232 --> 01:44:42.734
of any human meaning or worth

01:44:42.860 --> 01:44:46.613
until we cure ourselves of slavery

01:44:46.697 --> 01:44:49.407
and end this pestilential war!

01:44:50.701 --> 01:44:53.328
And whether any of you
or anyone else knows it,

01:44:53.412 --> 01:44:55.372
I know I need this!

01:44:56.165 --> 01:44:58.833
This amendment is that cure!

01:45:02.171 --> 01:45:04.881
We are stepped out upon
the world stage now!

01:45:05.007 --> 01:45:06.216
Now!

01:45:06.884 --> 01:45:09.844
With the fate of human dignity
in our hands!

01:45:11.681 --> 01:45:14.224
Blood's been spilt to
afford us this moment!

01:45:14.433 --> 01:45:16.726
Now! Now! Now!

01:45:17.561 --> 01:45:20.605
And you grousle and heckle
and dodge about like

01:45:20.731 --> 01:45:22.691
pettifogging Tammany Hall hucksters!

01:45:23.901 --> 01:45:25.568
See what is before you.

01:45:26.529 --> 01:45:29.280
See the here and now, that's the

01:45:29.407 --> 01:45:32.450
hardest thing,
the only thing that accounts.

01:45:34.412 --> 01:45:38.498
Abolishing slavery
by constitutional provision

They should.

02:15:16.233 --> 02:15:17.442
But they should also look at

02:15:17.526 --> 02:15:19.068
the wretched woman by your side

02:15:19.153 --> 02:15:21.988
if they want to understand
what this was truly like.

02:15:23.115 --> 02:15:24.616
For the ordinary person.

02:15:25.659 --> 02:15:27.243
For anyone other than you.

02:15:27.411 --> 02:15:29.162
You must try to be happier.

02:15:30.122 --> 02:15:31.664
We must, both of us.

02:15:32.208 --> 02:15:34.417
We've been so miserable for so long.

02:15:44.094 --> 02:15:46.888
I did say some colored men...

02:15:46.972 --> 02:15:49.432
The intelligent, the educated, and the

02:15:49.517 --> 02:15:51.476
veterans. I qualified it.

02:15:51.560 --> 02:15:53.061
Mr. Stevens is furious.

02:15:53.145 --> 02:15:54.854
He wants to know why you qualified it.

02:15:54.939 --> 02:15:57.190
No one heard
the intelligent or educated part.

02:15:57.274 --> 02:15:59.317
All they heard was the first time

02:15:59.401 --> 02:16:02.111
any president has ever made mention

02:16:02.196 --> 02:16:03.530
of Negro voting.

02:16:03.906 --> 02:16:07.700
Still, I wish I'd mentioned it
in a better speech.

02:16:07.785 --> 02:16:09.536
Mr. Stevens also wants to know

02:16:09.620 --> 02:16:11.454
why you didn't make a better speech.

02:16:12.915 --> 02:16:14.082
-(ALL CHUCKLING)
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)

02:16:14.166 --> 02:16:15.458
NICOLAY: Mrs. Lincoln is
waiting in the carriage.

02:16:15.584 --> 02:16:18.044
She wants me to remind you
of the hour, and that

02:16:18.128 --> 02:16:20.922
you'll have to pick up
Miss Harris and Major Rathbone.

02:16:24.426 --> 02:16:26.261
-Am I in trouble?
-No, sir.

02:16:26.762 --> 02:16:28.137
Thank you, Mr. Slade.

02:16:43.696 --> 02:16:45.154
I suppose it's time to go.

02:16:46.782 --> 02:16:48.408
Though I would rather stay.

02:17:40.252 --> 02:17:42.003
-(GRUNTING)
-(SWORDS CLANKING)

02:17:44.340 --> 02:17:45.506
(MAN LAUGHS)

02:17:46.717 --> 02:17:48.343
(SWORDS CONTINUE CLANKING)

02:17:56.727 --> 02:17:57.852
(AUDIENCE GASPS)

02:18:06.612 --> 02:18:07.737
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS)

02:18:18.207 --> 02:18:20.583
The President has been shot!

02:18:21.543 --> 02:18:23.378
(AUDIENCE GASPS)

02:18:23.545 --> 02:18:24.796
The President

02:18:24.880 --> 02:18:27.632
has been shot! At Ford's Theater!

02:18:28.050 --> 02:18:29.133
(CROWD CLAMORING)

02:18:29.885 --> 02:18:31.386
(WOMEN SHRIEKING)

02:18:33.305 --> 02:18:35.515
No. No!

02:18:36.058 --> 02:18:38.393
(SCREAMS)

02:19:09.508 --> 02:19:12.844
It's 7:22 in the morning.

02:19:13.887 --> 02:19:15.596
Saturday, the 15th of April.

02:19:15.681 --> 02:19:16.973
It's all over.

02:19:17.057 --> 02:19:18.474
The President is no more.

02:19:22.229 --> 02:19:24.188
Now he belongs to the ages.

02:19:30.529 --> 02:19:32.280
LINCOLN: Fondly do we hope,

02:19:33.949 --> 02:19:35.992
fervently do we pray,

02:19:37.536 --> 02:19:40.496
that this mighty scourge of war,

02:19:40.581 --> 02:19:42.540
may speedily pass away.

02:19:45.627 --> 02:19:48.171
Yet if God wills that it continue

02:19:48.797 --> 02:19:51.132
until all the wealth piled

02:19:51.216 --> 02:19:54.343
by the bondman's 250 years

02:19:54.428 --> 02:19:57.472
of unrequited toil shall be sunk

02:19:58.807 --> 02:20:02.894
and until every drop of blood
drawn with the lash

02:20:02.978 --> 02:20:06.647
shall be paid by another
drawn with the sword

02:20:07.941 --> 02:20:10.318
as was said 3,000 years ago,

02:20:10.402 --> 02:20:12.612
so still it must be said,

02:20:13.489 --> 02:20:15.323
"The judgments of the Lord

02:20:16.241 --> 02:20:20.620
"are true and righteous altogether."

02:20:26.335 --> 02:20:28.044
With malice toward none,

02:20:30.255 --> 02:20:32.298
with charity for all,

02:20:33.967 --> 02:20:35.676
with firmness in the right,

02:20:35.761 --> 02:20:38.054
as God gives us to see the right,

02:20:38.138 --> 02:20:41.307
let us strive on to finish
the work we are in,

02:20:42.059 --> 02:20:44.393
to bind up the nation's wounds,

02:20:45.270 --> 02:20:46.729
to care

02:20:47.064 --> 02:20:49.398
for him who shall have borne the battle

02:20:50.692 --> 02:20:52.610
and for his widow

02:20:53.237 --> 02:20:54.487
and his orphan,

02:20:56.240 --> 02:21:00.409
to do all which may achieve and cherish

02:21:01.578 --> 02:21:06.207
a just and a lasting peace
among ourselves

02:21:09.578 --> 02:21:35.207
