Description: No one doubted Abraham Lincoln's honesty. No one doubted his loyalty to his friends. But what happened when his two core values collided? Rumors swirl that to save the son of his oldest friend from hanging Lincoln falsified evidence and suborned perjury. The contest for a senate seat from Illinois electrifies the nation and illuminates smoldering conflicts that will soon explode into the Civil War, the bloodiest war in American history. Two reporters, one a slaveholder and the other an abolitionist, cover the Lincoln-Douglas debates. These two very different men come across allegations of Lincoln's wrongdoing and start an investigation that will yield a glimpse into the heart and soul of Abraham Lincoln.
