Project Parameters
Script Details
We know him as the face on Mount Rushmore, through the words of the Gettysburg Address, the famous bearded statue of the Lincoln Memorial—the Great Emancipator, the 16th President of the United States.
But before Abraham Lincoln was an icon, he was a man. And before he was a President, he was a husband, a father, a young lawyer struggling to make ends meet.
[...]
All through these years, America had been slowly tearing itself apart over one of the most bitter issues of the time—slavery.
To some, it was a sin. To others, it was a way of life…
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a band-aid over a gaping wound—one of several stopgaps to avoid national conflict. It allowed slavery to continue in the South, and the Northern territories to stay free - until the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 changed everything.
The new act said that any territories that joined the Union could vote on whether to become free or slave states, no matter their location. A more restrictive Fugitive Slave Law that had been passed several years earlier allowed slave catchers to capture and sell even free blacks into slavery…Suddenly everything was up for grabs…
Lincoln was outraged. Portion of the script provided for audition purposes only:
