In the wake of his assassination, Lincoln transforms from a controversial figure at the helm of America's largest crisis to a martyred hero. After his brutal murder, episode 106 follows the epic manhunt for his killer as well as the unraveling of the wife and country he left behind. America is rife with racial conflict, and his assassination sets the stage for the next 100 years of Civil Rights struggles from Jim Crow through Black Lives Matter. Lincoln has been canonized and mythologized as a savior and a hero, but his reality is far more complex. If we must believe he represents who we are as a country, then we should look to his evolution to inspire us to learn, grow, and change the way that he did.
