- DirectorJacques TourneurStarsCarey WilsonGranville BatesJames Conaty1870. The US Senate is still paying the bills having to do with the Civil War. One claim that comes through is from Anna Ella Carroll, whose claim is associated with being the so far unrecognized author of the Tennessee Plan, a battle campaign that arguably turned the tide for the North in ultimately winning the war. Miss Carroll's claim is despite now assassinated President Lincoln at the time having not named anyone as the author of the Plan in a Proclamation requested by Congress for a day of Thanksgiving in honor of the Tennessee victory. Miss Carroll's claims are not totally dismissed by the Senate committee dealing with the issue as her documented war efforts were many and she having been known to have the ear of President Lincoln. Beyond telling the circumstances of her dealings with President Lincoln to the committee members, something that she cannot substantiate with documentation, her story with respect to the Tennessee Plan and her official or unofficial as the case may be place in history with it is presented.

- DirectorEric NewnhamStarsShane GuilbeauJohn R. SiebkenDean McNallyThe Abraham Lincoln, Douglas Debates film tells the story of the lead up to the famous October 7, 1858 debate. Lincoln and Douglas each have their supporters and are passionately preparing for this great political event. We touch on the Kansas/Nebraska Act, Popular Sovereignty, the Dred Scott case, Lecompton, Lincoln's House Divide speech, La Compton and the Missouri compromise. The characters talk about the first four debates and mention the last two upcoming debates. Even though there are so many intense and controversial topics to discuss, both Lincoln and Douglas focus their debate to the number one issue that is tearing the country apart, slavery. One of the reasons the Galesburg debate remains hugely significant, is that at Knox College Abraham Lincoln for the first time talked at length about the immorality of slavery. In today's terms, the evils and immorality of slavery seem clear. But, in 1858, tragically, people were living in a world were slavery was a reality and an issue that deeply divided people. Even most people opposed to the evils of slavery, did not talk in those terms. People like that were thought to be radical extremist called Abolitionists. Lincoln significantly changed the national debate and the hearts and minds when he laid out his case for why slavery was immoral and needed to end. We have gone to great lengths to research the historically accuracy of this film. We have many of the actually people, that were there at the debate represented, and have tried to incorporate their own words or actions in the dialog. We have taken some liberty in adding a few people that were very important to the overall story. Our hope is that people will want to learn their names, and the major issues leading up to this important debate.
