• A tragic loss that sets a boy on a course for greatness

• A career sacrificed to protest an unjust war

• A state resorting to treason to preserve slavery

• A president who learns the most difficult decisions are made alone

• And a promise made to every citizen that American's salves will be free.

These days and five others shook Lincoln's world - and yours.
