Episode description: The Supreme Court ruling in Dred Scott that slaves were property and could be taken anywhere outraged abolitionists and gave new energy to the anti-slavery movement. This examination of the emergence of Abraham Lincoln, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, the election of 1860, and the secession of the first Southern states explores the question of whether the Civil War was inevitable.
