Watch 'The Last Night of Abraham Lincoln - Part 2' here: • The Last Night of Abra...
Abraham Lincoln is the embodiment of the 'American Dream.' His vision of a free America united in peace and the abolishment of slavery made him an icon and a legend.
This two-part docu-drama tells the fascinating story of Abraham Lincoln and his murderer John Wilkes Booth. The assassin who planned the murder of the President like a Shakespearian plot. Lincoln is portrayed by Fritz Klein and Booth by Brian J. Merrick.
"Lincoln's Last Night" was shot at spectacular locations across the United States. A cast of more than 80 historical actors creates an authentic image of Lincoln's America. The Presidential office in the White House was staged at Centre Hill Mansion in Petersburg, Virginia. The Ford's Theater box reconstruction was one of many locations around Richmond, Virginia used extensively - with further scenes filmed at the historic Strasburg, Pennsylvania Railroad, and at the original and recently restored summer residence of the Lincoln Family in rural D.C.

Abraham Lincoln is the embodiment of the 'American Dream.' His vision of a free America united in peace and the abolishment of slavery made him an icon and a legend. Lincoln's ideas resulted in many casualties during the Civil War and eventually put him in the line of fire himself. I have to say this docu drama touched me. I’d never realized what huge challenges Lincoln faced. A young nation caught up in a civil war..and the way he dealt with it. Truly inspiring and I felt very sad for his fate. I’m mentioning this because of course I learned about Lincoln in school. I just wish I’d seen something like this sooner. Anyway, hope you like it too.

Yes greatest President of all time.
Aaaaaa😊
Eu só Brasileiro....Moro no meu Brasil no estado de Minas Gerais cidade de Belo Horizonte.. Gostaria de disser que eu AMEI esse documentário.. Mostra como a vida e no seu mais triste momento de se viver.. Mostra a verdade de um homem justo honesto sabedor de todas as coisas do bem para com o próximo.. Eu daria tudo para estar nessa época nesse momento perto desse grande homem que foi o Mestre Abraham Lincoln... Aqui fica os meus sinceros agradecimentos desse grande documentário feito por Free Documentary History
Not historically accurate. The timing of events, what really happened, what was being said during the play at Ford's Theater, and people present are noticeably altered. A disclaimer regarding historical accuracy came at the end of Part One (that should have been offered at the beginning) just as I was getting fed up with the inaccuracies. Too bad. "History Documentary" is misleading at best,
One of them being Charles Leale, Doctor Taft, Doctor King, Major Rathbone, Miss Harris, Harry Hawk, the valet and coachman. Also, Lincoln was actually attended by Leale before being relocated to the Peterson House
I agree. It’s sloppy and dumbed down, which doesn’t do true history any Justice.
Technical note (based on everything I've read and seen): There was only one actor (Harry Hawk) on the stage at the time Lincoln was shot, the actress having just exited. He had just recited, "Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal; you sockdologizing old man-trap!" The audience was roaring in laughter when the gun went off.
Wow thanks most wouldn't appreciate learning that fact. I can't wait to pull this out my hat later in conversation lol I gotta try to memorize the dialogue from the actors though lol
@@TheChoralist Ha-ha. I used to have a professor who used to say, "You can amuse your little friends with that at your wine and cheese parties." For some reason, certain things about the 1860s just fascinate me... and it wasn't the war strategy. It was more the people, the architecture, furniture, and the Lincoln assassination. There is a great movie that was directed by Robert Redford called "The Conspirator" (probaby still free on TH-cam). It was about Mary Surratt, the owner of the boarding house where Booth and the conspirators conspired. She was the first woman executed in the US. GREAT movie. I think you would like it (since you watched this video).
Rest in eternal peace President Lincoln 😢❤😢
This man was a great man! He believed in freedom for all. He helped start a campaign that sees all slaves freed! May he rest easy!
He'd be so sad to see that the slaves today have become thugs and drug dealers and criminals
Yeah, if only he kept Ward Hill Lamon as his bodyguard.
18:46 the Emancipation Proclamation did not end Slavery. The 4 "border" states would be allowed to keep their slaves. And if any of the slave states that joined the Confederacy came back into the Union before January 1, 1863, they could keep their slaves. It was the 13th amendment that ended slavery for good.
That’s because a proclamation is not law! Kinda like an executive order.
13th
They never mention that the emancipation proclamation left 4 states out and allowing those states to keep slaves
@@robbiejay4578 Exactly!
Lincoln did have a life-long history of opposing slavery, but he appears to have been pragmatic enough to know that the war could not be won, and slavery could not be abolished completely throughout a united or divided country, if he attempted to do it all at once. He could not afford to lose any more states to the South. It would have been strategically assinine and poltically/militarily suicidal to proclaim them ALL free while the war was going on. He had to be smart about it. At any rate, according to historians, the abolition of slavery and the possibility that blacks would one day even be able to vote was a major motivation for Booth, and Lincoln paid for it with his life. Any racist dimwits who try to rewrite Lincoln as some sort of enemy of black people should read about Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Keckley, and other black people at the time, who clearly came to love Lincoln.
Proclomation of Emancipation was Purely Political, was meant to keep Britian and France and any other Country from Recognizing and therefore Helping Confederacy, brilliant on his Part for sure
YT has strict guidelines. It’s the choice of having some blurs but still with all the complete uncensored spoken information versus not showing, for example, a WWII documentary at all.
We apologize to those who are frustrated by this measure but we assure you that we only do so in order to comply with TH-cam's moderation guidelines. Free Documentary will always stand for the values of open and accessible information.
It';s history in all its horror, no need to censor it. YT needs to get with it. They allow graphic violent videos of shootings but demand you blur out photos of dead soldiers.from the Civil war. One photo from Gettysburg was even staged for the camera. Maybe you should have done. better job of researching your information. a lot of mistakes
The Glass Plate Negative photo was NOT the last photo of Abraham Lincoln. The last photo was him looking to his left in a three-quarters view. The glass plate negative photo was done on February 5, 1865. The last photo was done on March 6, 1865.
A photo was taken of Lincoln while in his coffin in New York(?). Wouldn’t this be the last photo taken?
@Yoda no. That was the only photo taken while in death. The last photo taken while alive is the March 6, 1865 photo of Lincoln facing in a 3/4 view to the left.

Thank You. I am Polish. I couldn't write it better. Best Regards! :)
I really enjoyed this one. Made me even tear up a little God I love this country
Same. The history of America and what's it been through is truly amazing.
Blurring out the dead from battlefields was totally unnecessary. These are well documented historical events - images that have been published in books, shown in movies, TV documentaries as well as on the internet. It's as if you are trying to hide or erase pivotal historical events. It's part of history. It's part of war. Nothing should be erased or hidden. All of history, its affects, rewards and tragedy should always be seen so we never forget, and never repeat.
In new Rome there walked three men, a Judas, a Brutus and a spy. Each planned that he should be the king when Abraham should die. One trusted not the other but they went on for that day, waiting for that final moment when with pistol in his hand, one of the sons of Brutus should sneak behind that cursed man and put a bullet in his brain and lay his clumsy corpse away... But alas, as fate would have it Judas slowly fell from grace, and with him went Brutus down to their proper place. But lest one is left to wonder what has happened to the spy, I can safely tell you this, it is I.
I own quite a few DVDS on the Assassination, but this the best by far, thankyou for sharing
Very interesting
Okay, I'm getting into the documentary...and then you show us photos of the Civil War that are completely blurred out? That makes absolutely no sense at all. I'll keep watching, but that choice really takes you completely out of the happenings being portrayed. Also, I'm not sure where those of you putting this together all reside, but it's not cool at all to use the 'N' word in a documentary. Like, wow.
yeah they blur out the photos but then allow the n-word. then have the nerve to say TH-cam required the blurring. Inconsistent
JWB didn’t think 🤔 this through
A British narrator talking about slaves in the former colonies!
I was just telling my son that last night! British narrators always talking about American history! Seems a little sketchy - ha
37:44, the last photograph of Lincoln, a few days before his assassination.
I thought Abe drank whiskey 🥃?
Why are dead bodies blurred out? Isn't this a historical and educational video? Or we have become a society of softies?
We are society of idiot's if you ask me.
It’s a TH-cam thing.
A Piece of You Tube idiocy
Super sad Abraham Lincoln
From the bistory I know, the president's bodyguard did not actually leave his position to catch a glimpse of the performance. He was actually inside the president's booth and actually tried fighting Booth.
Abe should have brokered for a peace .
Re-unite the Union and faze slavery out over time. Ya know minimum wage for the workers. Some equal rights and slowly progress to freedom and equality. That’s what happened in the long run 🏃🏾♂️
Mayor garcetti got killed by a sunlight with his ashes by a sunlight
It was never about slaves. It was about taxation
100% FACT. I wish the media and School systems would tell the truth about the Civil War
White House/ Iron Cage
Now it’s the Cocaine Cocktail 🍹 house 😂
that doesn't sound like Lincoln......🤔
How do you know what he sounded like unless you're 170 years old plus LoL just saying
@@terrypbug he sounded different in a movie about him that's why....LOL
@@samiam5557 Well again, his voice was never recorded. If you're referring to Daniel Day Lewis, That was the actor's choice based on his research and it was probably more accurate. This guy here is not the caliber of Daniel Day Lewis
Northerners owned slaves too
Orgininally yes, but by the early-mid 1800s, Slavery was non-existent in the North due in part to abolitionist movements gaining steam there, and the fact that the north wasn't an Agrarian economy and could better do without them.
I'll never understand why ppl make a film on an actual historical event or person and then consciously alter minor yet significant details of the historical event... either make a fictional film about an alternative historical what if or be 100% historically accurate... especially when the historical inaccuracies of your film add nothing to its substantive value... it adds nothing...doesn't show artistic expression, add dramatic effect
A lot of things historically wrong with this. So many, I’ve decided I don’t even wanna deal with it. Go read as many historical books on Lincoln as you can. That will give you a lot more truth then this video. The pictures were real, so thank you for those. 😊
He was the first Republican............
JWB was first democrat

@@ConnoisseurCookChef actually he was a Whig
Lincoln is my papi 🤓
read tom delarenzos books on abe. abe was a monster..
Does TH-cam have some sort of rule which requires dead bodies to be blurred out?
Aaaah "wild west" - Lincoln was born in Kentucky LOL
❤
How would Abe react to Bismarck ?
29:12 the people of the North are tired of the long war 😅 Fast-forward to 2001 and the War On Terror said hold my 🍺 🍻
Please subtitle bahasa Indonesia
You can put the subtitles on yourself.
Lincoln never said that
Seriously 😳
Blurring Civil War Vids. Please ! WTF !
Did Lincoln have a beard at 25? I thought he grew it only after he became president.
@Bob Johnson How so? Because he shaved his mustache area?
He grew the beard after his election . A young girl had written a letter to him, suggesting that a beard would cover his hollow cheeks. He took her advice and grew his now famous beard, becoming the first President to sport one.
Yes, they got this wrong. No beard until after his election.
No and also, they just carry him after being shot. Before being relocated to the Petersen House, he was attended by a doctor who happens to be at the theater, Dr Charles Leale. They didn’t use a stretcher to carry him as Dr Leale, with the help of two doctors and four soldiers, carry Lincoln (still wearing his coat and shirt, but the tie has been cut off and the front of his shirt was ripped open for Dr Leale to inspect knife wounds)

Is history is it s related it true? . We speak of Elizabeth and Phillip.
But when it speaks of Abraham Lincoln was he ever dead at the year stated in history , and where was his death actually accured?. Was his assassination on an island in the Carribbean and possible in a remote area. Which may seems like a remote area as early as in the mid seventies . He's words , leave the door open " and at who's hand he suffered death?.is it the 18th or 19th century when he s talk about. Because this face will not be in existance in the 70ts 1970ts , except if someone is protraiting himself as him. I would be in my early teens as thirteen to fourteen years . Between twelve and fourteen . The ver same figure portraits here. 1968 / 1973.
Your post makes absolutely no sense
Lincoln was a Butcher...
Lincoln was not a butcher. Were his commanders possibly but the best way to end a war was to make one side pay a heavy price and beg for an end to Hostilities. That is what Grant and Sherman did. Remember, who started the war- Hint: Not the North.
BS
it was nor about slavery
Lincoln would be sad to see what MAGA has done to the GOP!
No, he would be sad to see how Black folks killing each other far exceed the death toll the KKK ever did... RIP Tyre Nichols and all the Black folks who are murdered EVERY DAY in Black communities by Black Gangstas in Democrat Controlled Cities.
*video that has nothing to do with Donald Trump* "Hmm, how can I MAKE this about Donald Trump" - 🤡
What a lazy comment. President Lincoln is one of my very favorite historical figures but there were many prominent people who would have made comments like yours about him during his lifetime. He wasn’t very well loved while he was alive. The GOP didn’t even want Lincoln to run for a second term because they thought he was a failure. In his first election Lincoln got one of the lowest percentages of the popular vote in history. They called him “the baboon in the White House”. I don’t care if you hate Trump but do a little research before you make such ignorant comments,
@@myroselle6987 my comment had nothing to do with Lincoln's election records I was referring to the fact that Trump is a fascist who is killing the GOP, thank you for reading 😎
What has "MAGA" done to the GOP? Tell us lol
He is what Donald trump is ! These 2 are the best presidents of USA
That’s laughable. No question that Lincoln was the best President in American history, although some would rank FDR right up there also. Trump? Arguably the absolute worst President in U.S. history.
@@willen2416yep and that means Trump is going to prove himself to be a lot worse than James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Richard Nixon and George W Bush.
no comparison....
The narration is truly awful. It's hokey and poorly performed to the point of pandering to some sort of elementary school stereotype. The actor might as well have worn a top hat made of construction paper cut out with safety scissors and glued together with Elmers. What's even worse is the historicity - ie: the entire purpose of a historical documentary - is compromised for the sake of this two bit reenactment. Stick to LARPing in the fields of Pennsylvania.
And trump declared he is better than Lincoln and Washington go figure
Yeah yeah and I’m sure Biden said he was acting in the play at Fords Theater that night
@@BobJohnson-vp9qe Why are you asking this Neither Trump or Biden have anything to do with this. Lincoln was better than both of them.
@@Mr508filmsnot just that but better than two of his godawful predecessors and do nothing presidents, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan.
So sensual and erotic yet so sad
