The movie was great! Missed the part on the accuracy to what really happened.

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2015)

The film Lincoln accurately portrayed the end to slavery. Lincoln freed the slaves in the rebellion before he freed the slaves in the union. As stated in source one and two "Lincoln did not accomplish this in this manner sometimes symbolically portrayed, by breaking the chains of helpless and passive bondsman with the stroke of a pen, but by pronouncing slavery as a moral evil that must come to an end." Thus being said without the president have a strong feeling against slavery, the abolitionists wouldn't of stood a chance against ending slavery and passing the 13th amendment. In the film Lincoln, Abraham himself is constantly stressing to pass the 13th amendment to end slavery. He spent countless hours trying to gather votes to to pass the amendment. Without his support on this campaign, the votes most likely would have favored to not pass the amendment. As also stated in source two and three, "by refusing to compromise this policy once he adopted, and by prosecuting the war to unconditional victory, as commander in chief of liberation, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves" this being said Abe Lincoln did in fact free the slaves.
