brings the campaign of 1860 to life for contemporary visitors
with multiple video monitors featuring an election coverage
TV news program analyzing the campaign in which Lincoln won

complex four-way presidential race of 1860 understandable
to today's audiences by accurately translating the issues
and strategies of 1860 into the sound-bite media bursts of
today.
