The movie was great

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2015)

The film Lincoln accurately portrayed slavery, Lincoln freed the rebellious southern states first and then freed the slaves in the northern states. From source 2 and 3 "Lincoln did not accomplish this in the manner sometimes symbolically portrayed , by breaking the chains of helpless and passive bondsman with the stroke of a pen. But by pronouncing slavery a moral evil that must come to an end and then winning the presidency in 1860's". If president Lincoln was not against slavery then the slave states would have grown into larger slavery. Also, slavery would have spread throughout the north and new states. By refusing compromise of the expansion of slavery , Lincoln helped ensure the freeing of slaves. I feel like the movie did not portray the struggling life of a slave and the life of a slave who is fighting for their freedom. Also, the movie should have showed more of the war and how devastating it was and not just the political point of view.
