Abraham Lincoln - Preserver of the Union

You owe it to yourself to meet this remarkable American, one of our greatest presidents and one of the most tragic figures ever to occupy the White House.    To understand the soul of America, one must understand this humble, religious man with a backbone of steel.

Historians generally agree that had the Union not survived this first real test of the Constitution, we might not have a United States today.

Flight to Freedom

The Underground Railroad was neither underground nor a railroad.    It was a secret, illegal network of committed citizens willing to face the dangers of heavy fines and imprisonment for their actions.

Three courageous women take you along the pathway of the secret Underground Railway - a stationmaster, an abolitionist, and a runaway slave – through the dangers, through the change of America’s attitude toward slavery, and the commitment of people to bring freedom to thousands in bondage.
