The process of the creation of the Emancipation Proclamation

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2015)

This film captures the twists and turns of America that led to abolishing slavery throughout the country. It was very long, to the point where it was too lengthy to keep me engaged. Also, there was very limited action through the entirety of the film. Despite all of the negatives of this movie, the ending finished off the movie on a high note. The vote scene was very inspirational and provided a strong ending. My favorite character was Thaddeus Stevens because he has the best hair along with his position on slavery. He makes morally correct decisions and I agree with his stance on slavery. My least favorite character was Abraham Lincoln's wife because she lacks any importance whatsoever. All in all, this film instructed me on how the Emancipation Proclamation developed and shaped into what it is today. Therefore, I'm not too upset after I watched this.
