We Are All Americans is the story of the American Civil War, retold in a 21st century cable news setting, to experience the drama as it occurred. The United States in 1865 was a dramatically different country from the one that went to the polls in 1860. In 1860, there were only two other democratic countries - Switzerland and New Zealand. The rulers and the ruled of the world were watching to see what would happen to the American experiment in democracy. The American Civil War was a political struggle between the Union without slavery or slavery without the Union that turned into war. We Are All Americans is a retelling of how the United States was transformed through the words of the three most central figures of the time - Jefferson Davis, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The story is communicated and colored by three, contemporary reporters who describe the events as they unfold, in time linear fashion. It is often said the country entered the war as the United States, plural, and emerged a nation, as the United States, singular. Experience this transformation through We Are All Americans.
