Covering the rise of the Republican and Democratic Parties, which were totally flipped from the way that they are now (Republicans being the more liberal of the bunch). Also covering the turmoil that was the precurser to the Civil War, including Bloody Kansas, the Kansas Nebraska Act, and the Missouri compromise, and what the presidents did. Which would be nothing.
