- The incidents pictured in this film are founded on fact and relate to William Scott, a young soldier from the State of Vermont. Scott is on guard after a heavy day's march, and being found asleep is placed under arrest. He is tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. Meantime we see President Lincoln in his study at the White House in deep thought, and seeing a vision of the Civil War and the sorrow caused by it. The vision disappears and he reads a letter from Mrs. Scott pleading for the pardon of her son. Deeply affected he lays the letter down and sees another vision, that of the gray-haired mother and a nameless grave. We next see being marched off to the spot where he is to be shot. All is in readiness for the fatal word of command to be given, when through a cloud of dust a coach dashes up attended by outriders. The President steps out and pardons the prisoner, who falls on his knees and blesses him. The next scene is that of a battle with the Union soldiers retreating. The color-bearer falls, but William Scott rushes up, grabs the flag and rallies the Union troops, but amid the dreadful carnage he himself is shot. That night the doctors and ambulances are searching among the dead for the wounded who are still alive. They reach Scott. He is dying. A vision of the President appears before him, giving him a wreath of fame. Scott staggers to his feet, and as the vision fades away, drops dead. As a fitting climax, we see a tableau of President Lincoln taking from a Union and a Confederate color-bearer their respective flags, rolling them together and when they are unrolled displaying the Stars and Stripes.

- The Abraham Lincoln, Douglas Debates film tells the story of the lead up to the famous October 7, 1858 debate. Lincoln and Douglas each have their supporters and are passionately preparing for this great political event. We touch on the Kansas/Nebraska Act, Popular Sovereignty, the Dred Scott case, Lecompton, Lincoln's House Divide speech, La Compton and the Missouri compromise. The characters talk about the first four debates and mention the last two upcoming debates. Even though there are so many intense and controversial topics to discuss, both Lincoln and Douglas focus their debate to the number one issue that is tearing the country apart, slavery. One of the reasons the Galesburg debate remains hugely significant, is that at Knox College Abraham Lincoln for the first time talked at length about the immorality of slavery. In today's terms, the evils and immorality of slavery seem clear. But, in 1858, tragically, people were living in a world were slavery was a reality and an issue that deeply divided people. Even most people opposed to the evils of slavery, did not talk in those terms. People like that were thought to be radical extremist called Abolitionists. Lincoln significantly changed the national debate and the hearts and minds when he laid out his case for why slavery was immoral and needed to end. We have gone to great lengths to research the historically accuracy of this film. We have many of the actually people, that were there at the debate represented, and have tried to incorporate their own words or actions in the dialog. We have taken some liberty in adding a few people that were very important to the overall story. Our hope is that people will want to learn their names, and the major issues leading up to this important debate.
- Before Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President and an icon, he was a man, and before he moved to D.C., he was a husband, a father, a young lawyer struggling to make ends meet, as he was still living with his family in Springfield, Illinois.
- There is not an American living who does not relish the story of the life of Abraham Lincoln, the martyr President, considered by the majority of writers and men nationally prominent as the greatest American. The sympathy and passions that are stirred up within us by reading of Lincoln are accentuated by the witnessing of the adaptation on the screen. Lincoln's every mannerism, trait and eccentricity are pictured and while looking at it anyone with a drop of American blood in his veins is carried along by the current of innate patriotism and swallowed up at the confluence of many emotions. From the scene in front of the log cabin to the assassination at Ford's Theatre in Washington, one is gripped. Lincoln's courtship culminated in his marriage with Mary Todd. He struggles along in abject poverty until he is nominated for United States Senator. He opposes Stephen Douglas, and it was in his debate that he proved himself not only a rhetorician but a man of wholesome and broad-minded ideas. He was defeated but in 1860 was elected President. What happened subsequently is familiar to all Americans. Lincoln's Gettysburg address, succinct but powerful, is considered one of the gems of oratory.
