The narrative explores the profound impact of the Civil War on the Lincoln family, particularly through Mary Todd Lincoln, whose siblings were divided between the Confederacy and the Union. With three brothers fighting and two dying for the South, the family's internal conflict mirrored the national struggle. Their tumultuous experiences influenced President Lincoln's empathetic approach to the war, prompting him to adopt a humane perspective towards the Confederates, a stance that resonates with contemporary themes of understanding and reconciliation.
