Richmond, Virginia. Confederate Capital. Union President Abraham Lincoln and his 12-year-old son Tad disembark in Richmond and walk the streets of the Confederate capital. A man collapses to his knees before Lincoln, who, embarrassed, says, “Don’t kneel before me. It’s not right. Kneel for God alone and thank Him for the freedom you will henceforth enjoy.” He then heads to the Confederate White House and sits in the chair of his rival president, Jefferson Davis, just two days after he abandoned it.
