abraham lincoln and jefferson davis next to each other. is one of the exciting things about this new museum. the deliberate attempt to make sure it is a multi-perspective story that we are telling. >> why do you think the southern plantation owners did not figure out an economical way to continue the stream of wealth that cotton was bringing to then plantation without continuing slavery? why did they not come up with jim crow sooner? they had an example of how to do that, and that would be the emancipation act that was packed -- pest in the northern states after the american revolution. that could solve jeffersons conundrum. how do we end this institution that we don't feel particularly comfortable with? the modern was -- model was there in the northern states. was, cotton was one of the biggest things because so much money was to be made by crowing cotton with an enslaved labor force. slaveholders could not imagine how they could do this without a large labor force. a double down and recommitted themselves to slavery. they found it diffic

after jefferson davis imposed martial law on richmond in early march of 1862, a measure that led to the arrest of dozens of suspected unionists, van lew could no longer visit union prisoners. but she did not stand down. remarkably, under her leadership, an interracial spy network known as the richmond underground took shape and actually stepped up its efforts on behalf of union prisoners and unionist civilians seeking to flee the confederacy and find refuge in the north. richmond unionists, this band she gathered around her in the so-called underground. they worked with van lew to provide escapees from the confederacy, safehouses, disguises and protections. the mansion on churchill provided a safe haven for fugitives on his perilous journey behind confederate lines. in the winter of 1863, 1864, this double life that van lew was leading became considerably more risky after she was enlisted formally by general benjamin butler into the federal secret service. they got wind of what was happening in richmond and established contact with van lew and her band. from this point, after she is for
