Did Lincoln really free the slaves?

Rating: 6/10 (30 November 2015)

In the movie Lincoln, they did not accurately display who freed the slaves. Abraham Lincoln may of helped, but the slaves helped too free themselves too. The slaves saw the civil war as a potential war for abolition well before Lincoln. Don't get me wrong Lincoln helped by signing the proclamation, but the slaves did the most too ensure their freedom. They escaped their masters to union army camps in the south, this was dangerous which just proves how much they were willing too do for freedom.The movie Lincoln talked more about his family and life than about the slaves also. In conclusion, Lincoln freed not a single slave who wasn't entitled to freedom under legislature.
