Description:
From award-winning film-maker David Grubin, this miniseries weaves together the troubled lives of a dirt-farmer's son and a wealthy Southern slave-owner's daughter. Together, Abraham and Mary Lincoln ascended to the pinnacle of power at the most difficult time in the nation's history, the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln's legacy as the Great Emancipator reshaped the nation while his tragic death left Mary reclusive and forgotten.

Rating:  - A House Divided: Mary Todd and Abraham Lincolm
The 3-part DVD series provides an in-depth overview of the life and times of both Lincolns, problems encountered throughout their lives and crises of the USA during their lives. The many photos and opinions provide food for thought and discussion.

Woven into this family story are the political events of the time
covered in interesting detail. All is told using old photographs ... Read More
Rating: - American Experience-Abrham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided
This documentry is so wonderfully done that you can't stop watching until it you have watched it all. You really get a wonderful portrait of the Lincoln's and the heart rendering situations this great couple endured. The combination of actual pictures,the portrayals of Lincoln and Mary through actors and actresses, and the visuals of the actual places throughout are just exquisitely done!! A real masterpiece!!
Rating: - Excellent Documentary
This is an excellent documentary which studies Lincon's life in depth. I would recommend this DVD set for everyone.
Specially, if you are into history and the civil war.
