The actor stars as the cabinet member leading the pursuit of John Wilkes Booth in the days after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
In one of their last conversations before his death, Abraham Lincoln declines to accept the resignation of his Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton . The Civil War has just finished, Stanton points out, but Lincoln isn’t having it. “Your heart, it’s always been more in Reconstruction than it’s ever been in victory,” the president notes.is, on the surface, about the highly dramatic chase for Lincoln’s assassin in the days immediately following Lincoln’s demise.
Still, his actions throw a country that had just been celebrating the end of conflict into a new haze of paranoia. “Has Booth triggered a new Civil War where we have to prepare for surprise attacks by civilians?” a journalist asks. “What if Booth has weakened our democracy?” Although Stanton waves off the incident as “an anomaly,” it’s clear he, too, sees how high the stakes are.
But the meatiest of them revolve around long, impassioned conversations between Stanton and Lincoln about their hopes for reunification. Thoughpositions Stanton as the moral center — more so than Lincoln, who’s determined to enshrine the rights of Black citizens but also wants to “let the Confederate workers save face” by paying back slavers for the “value” they lost — Menzies never overplays his heroism.
