Description

Thomas Dixon, author of The Clansman (made into D.W. Griffith's famous Birth of a Nation film), wrote parallel pieces of Abraham Lincoln's life, and a longer parallel piece of the career of Jefferson Davis. Neither one of these men ran for office with the intention of being war presidents, yet they both were embroiled in sometimes strikingly similar situations. Both brought integrity to their unexpected callings, and the stories show the growth into office that both experienced. These are the stories behind the story, and Dixon appears to be the right person to tell it.

Author Biography:

Abraham Lincoln went from country lawyer to the candidate that the newly formed Republican Party chose, and who won less than a majority of votes but enough to secure the office of the Presidency. Jefferson Davis rose in military ranks but early sought out administration and politics as fitting his skills and ambitions. He found himself as the head of a newly formed group of seceding states, and tasked with the job of uniting them into a new country. The crisis at Fort Sumter cast him into the leadership of a new nation at war.
