The Emancipation Proclamation is one of the most significant documents in American history. President Abraham Lincoln's famous words, emancipating all slaves in the territories of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, are here brought to life through an engaging performance.

During the Civil War, Union supporters in President Abraham Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Illinois, asked him to speak at a rally on September 3, 1863. Lincoln could not attend but wrote this letter to be read at the gathering by his long-time friend, James C. Conkling.

This collection of Lincoln's letters gives us a glimpse into the inner self of a great American president. After a brief autobiography, the letters appear chronologically, beginning with his courtship and early political life and continuing into the presidency.

Heralded as one of America's most significant documents, this is a piece of history not to be missed.
