Lincoln's Last Night - Part 2: The Road to Immortality
No man embodies the "American Dream" more than Abraham Lincoln. His vision of the unity of the United States in freedom and the abolition of slavery made him an icon. Lincoln was assassinated in Washington's Ford Theatre on Good Friday 1865 because of his visionary policies.

Beautiful documentary
From here in the UK I am and always will be, an admirer of your President Abraham Lincoln-a truly great man, who now belongs to the ages... I also believe that the USA is the greatest country on earth... 🙏🇬🇧👍

Indeed, but at 4:31 what kinda bothers me is that here, he’s wearing a night shirt when in fact, his doctors stripped him to see if theyre any other additional wounds. Yep, Lincoln remained unclothed for eight hours before dying at 7:22 am. Still agree with you on Lincoln, though.

One of the smartest presidents we had and he knew at times of what he’s doing may be controversial.
I think Lincoln was such a good president, he'd even enjoy seeing how Andrew Johnson finished his second term, no matter how everyone else thought of Johnson. Even James Buchanan, Lincoln's supposed polar opposite, was mourning his assassination, even he knew Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents where *he* himself was the worst.
I thought the soldiers were told to take Booth alive ?
Lincoln was never our enemy he was our friend booth is our enemy poor Mary i feel bad rest in peace Honest Abe we will never forget you you did right things to help our state of America 🇺🇸 good bye Lincoln you were our hero for freeing slaves that was very kind of him to free the people in slaved

This video is so full of historical inaccuracies! Booth and Herold took shelter in a tobacco barn owned by Richard Garrett. Booth survived for several hours after being shot in the neck--which paralyzed him! He was dragged to the Garrett's front porch where he died just as the sun was coming up. Lincoln's body was placed in a temporary tomb with the remains of his son Willie--which had accompanied him on the train all the way to Springfield, Illinois. Lincoln's coffin would be moved and opened several times for the next 30 years or so! There was even an attempt to steal the body and hold it for ransom!

Also, when he was laid on the bed, Lincoln was undressed when he died as Dr Leale stated that they remove his clothing to re-examine him and remained naked under the covers and sheets.

I went and found the site of the tobacco barn where Booth died about 25 years ago. It was in the median strip of rt 301 in MD. It was just an overgrown patch of jungle then - now probably another lane of 301.

Wrong fact: The last photo of Abraham Lincoln was NOT days before his assassination. It was a few weeks before his assassination (March 6, 1865). Lincoln was seated while facing in a 3/4 view looking to his left. The photo shown here was taken on February 5, 1865.

How come we don’t have pictures of Booth deceased? I have questions
I wish the film makers had made up their minds what kind of smokestack the train engine had. In some pictures it's a csbbage stack, which i think is what it actually was, and in some it's a plain one.

As tragic as it was, maybe it was Gods intention that President Lincoln died, he died a true American hero, none of us know if that reputation would have changed if he had finished his last 4 years. All I am 100% sure of, is slavery would have continued much longer without his cool head and determination to end it...

I hate to put a rain on what Is otherwise a nice comment, but if your God intentionally makes people die because they do their jobs well or have good qualities. Then that speaks volumes of his character and not in a good way.
4:31 Lincoln was in a full night gown but a verified fact shows that after Lincoln was laid diagonally on the bed, attending physician Dr Charles Leale had strip away the clothing on Lincoln so he and the other doctors can re-examine him for any possible additional wounds and facilitate warm treatments to his unclothed body. And yes, Lincoln was unclothed (with no clothes on) throughout the whole evening until the morning of his death. Still sad that Lincoln didn’t deserve to be killed, but Grant still did better than Johnson in terms of Reconstruction.

Many will disagree with me because Mrs Sarott (sp?) Was a woman, but I think she WAS INVOLVED, of course she didn't shoot President Lincoln, but I think she knew plenty AND gave them a place to meet and store weapons. People want to make her look like a helpless female, she WASN'T. She was by all accounts a very strong woman and intelligent. I believe she was guilty..
