With the Civil War coming to a close and the freedom granted to the slaves by the Emancipation Proclamation called into question, Abraham Lincoln seeks to pass a thirteenth amendment to the Constitution that will outlaw slavery everywhere in the United States.  Facing opposition from many quarters in Congress, Lincoln uses his vast political powers to gain allies in his fight.

Rick Carter: Very much not prepared for this. Jim Erickson, who’s the set decorator, shares this honor. And all of us who worked on this movie of Lincoln, I think in our own ways tried to be worthy of a legacy that’s way beyond all of us, especially Steven and Kathy and Tony and Sally, but of course, Daniel, who actually convinced us that he was Lincoln. And the legacy that I think that he personified for all of us goes to our heart and it’s worth far more than any gold any of could ever have and I just thank you and I love my wife, Adele.
