    About this Episode

    We're back y'all and it's time to bring this electoral epic to an end. It's a five-way battle royale and, yeah, we all know Lincoln wins. But does he? Are you sure you're remembering that right? Maybe Stephen Douglas won and just dressed like Lincoln for five years.

    Join us this week as Stephen Douglas, John Breckenridge, John Bell, and Sam Houston find every way humanly possible to make Abraham Lincoln's campaign a relaxing breeze.
