The documentary segments detail the history of America from the [[American Civil War]] to the present day. The chief turning-point, however, is the [[Battle of Gettysburg]], which - thanks to the successful diplomacy of Judah P. Benjamin - includes [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[France|French]] troops fighting with the Confederacy. The Union later surrenders, and [[Abraham Lincoln]] is arrested after attempting to flee to [[Canada]] in blackface. After serving two years imprisonment, Lincoln is pardoned (in an effort to appease the conquered North) and is exiled to [[Canada]], where he dies of old age.
