Remembering 'The Great Emancipator' 156 years after his assassination in 'Lincoln: A Nation Reborn'
Fox News
Go back in time with historian H.W. Brands and watch how Abraham Lincoln’s unexpected rise to the presidency redefined America on Fox Nation.
On the night of April 14th, 1865, while attending the play Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by noted stage actor and Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth. Several hours later, at 7:22 in the morning of April 15th, Lincoln was pronounced dead."When Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, the entire country was unsettled," explained Brands. "Lincoln's assassination really left the future of the nation up in the air.""This was the man...who had preserved the union, who had freed the slaves," Brand went on to say. "Nobody got a chance to discover if Lincoln would be the one to heal the wounds of the nation."156 years later, many would argue the nation is still wounded. Had it not been for Lincoln's breakthrough efforts, though, the United States of America as we know it today would likely not exist:"Abraham Lincoln left no small legacy," the Fox Nation series pronounces. "He ended up dedicating his life to preserving the union and the freedom it upholds. His dedication to duty reminds us that we [Americans] are stronger together, and his work will never be forgotten."To watch 'Lincoln: A Nation Reborn,' go to Fox Nation and sign up today. programs are viewable on-demand and from your mobile device app, but only for Fox Nation subscribers. to start a free trial and watch the extensive library from your favorite Fox News personalities.
