When Lincoln Paid is a 1913 film, written by William Clifford and directed by Francis Ford. The plot involves the mother of a dead Union soldier who attempts to convince President Lincoln to pardon a similarly condemned Confederate soldier whose unjust conviction was the result of her vindictive scheme. This was one of many films from the 1910s focusing on Lincoln's well-known practice of pardoning young Civil War soldiers condemned to die, if any extenuating circumstances might have been involved.
