Welcome to the Main Event!  This week we talk about Lincoln's legacy as an amazingly talented wrestler and what it means about his character and his legacy.  As always, we will end with our patented finishing move, This Week in Lincoln!

We discuss how and why we love finding Lincoln monuments while traveling, take you through some we experienced this week in Chicago and Boston, and touch on the debate over Confederate monument removal.  Then we talk about a fun Lincoln related toy in This Week in Lincoln.

This week we're talking about the 1860 Presidential Election. We spend a little time talking about recent buzz around the Baberaham Lincoln statue in Chicago, and we have a book review of The Fiery Trial by Eric Foner.  Our This Week in Lincoln features an epiclly fun comic book series.

This week, we talk about Daniel Day-Lewis and his retirement, a story about a recent big donation of Lincoln artifacts, and focus in on the famous House Divided speech.  We end the episode as we always do, with our This Week in Lincoln.  Thanks for checking us out!  Please rate and review us on your podcast app.

We talk about some news events related to Abraham Lincoln and break down the 1860 Nomination fight.  This Week in Lincoln is an epicly tragic painting Nick stumbled upon.

It's The Inaugural episode of The Railsplitter:  The Abraham Lincoln podcast.  We introduce ourselves and the show.  We talk about our plans for the podcast, including what we hope it will be and what it won't be.  Our main goal is to have fun.  Follow us @railsplitterpod on Twitter and Instagram or email us at [email protected].  Enjoy!
