The Young Mr. Lincoln set on a path of righteous vengeance after watching his mother get fatally fanged. As he studies the law and woos the ravishing Mary Todd by day, the nights find him throwing down with an unending army of the undead. When he discovers the plot of a master vampire to conquer the United States, he makes the fateful decision to throw his hat (and silver-bladed ax) into the ring of national politics.

The Civil War-era story links the intended secession of the Southern states with the rise to power of vampires in those states; so vampirism becomes a metaphor for slavery and man's general inhumanity to himself.
