Desiring to kill someone as a solution to your need for. I don't remember clearly just how the Missouri Compromise got messed up, because an agreement in Congress actually had been reached, which was fairly satisfactory to all, but in the debate between Douglas and Lincoln, an idea got twisted, which eventually enraged the South. The most remarkable parts for me were learning how mixed was Lincoln's popularity, how much he tried to mend the rent between the South's need for autonomy and choice and the nation's need for unity and respect for the differing values. The story was just the right length for someone who wants just enough detail to understand, but not so much so as to get lost in it. Perfect story, perfectly told! Will Patton's voice was inflected with a slight southern accent, perfect for this story of John Wilkes Booth his pace matched the pace of Boothe's plan, execution and escape his passion matched the emotions of those who grieved for Lincoln's death, and was emphatic or quizzical at just the right time.
