In this episode of How We Got Here, how one of the greatest speeches in American history - The Gettysburg Address - was barely a footnote in newspapers up and down the coast. Also, President John F. Kennedy and his family built a home in Virginia - only to enjoy it for three weekends before his assassination. And we delve into a 400-year-old Thanksgiving tradition that started in the commonwealth and continues to this day on the Governor’s driveway. The famed Richmond woman who helped usher in a new era of Southern literature - with a little ghost story mixed in. And why the Confederacy chose Richmond as its capitol – so close to the Union stronghold of Washington, D.C.
