Lincoln how true is it?

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2015)

The movie Lincoln showed how much Lincoln care about passing the bill that abolished slavery. Thaddeus Stevens as portrayed in the movie was a radical republican who would go to almost any means to abolish slavery. Part of the reason why he was so serious about this was that he was in love with a black woman which was in fact true. Even though it was extremely taboo at the time. Also at the beginning of the movie it show black men talking to Lincoln about his Emancipation Proclaimation, which freed slaves in areas of rebellion. The blacks were fighting for their freedom from slavery. At several times throughout the movie Lincoln showed how much he feared that the bill wouldn't get passed and all of the slaves he "freed" would go right back to being slaves. He was willing to risk getting impeached just to get the bill passed. It was a great movie Spielburg did a good job with this one.
