12:19Now PlayingThe U.S Civil War nearly came in 1850, when President Zachary Taylor threatened to execute future secessionists, including his son-in-law Jefferson Davis, and crush the nascent slave holders' rebellion. If he hadn't died in office, would this former general and war hero have been able to end slavery without a civil war?
TYT contributor Ryan Grim sits down with author and historian Sidney Blumenthal, author of two seminal books about Abraham Lincoln, "Wrestling With His Angel" & "A Self-made Man."
