The film follows two juxtaposed families: abolitionist U.S. Representative Austin Stoneman, his daughter, and two sons. The Southern Camerons: Dr. Cameron, his wife, their three sons and two daughters. Young Ben Cameron idolizes a picture of Elsie Stonman. Ben is wounded and captured in the Civil War, and is told he will be hanged. When Lincoln is assassinated, his conciliatory postwar policy expires with him.
