The end of slavery

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2015)

I think the movie Lincoln accurately represents the end of slavery, as far as the events that took place during the Civil war. In the movie, Lincoln took many steps to end the horrors of slavery through his presidential seat, but the slaves involved also helped their own cause tremendously. President Lincoln throughout his terms fought the Civil war and the war against slavery, through politics and determination he pushed congress and the house of Representatives to vote for the passing of abolishment of slavery. It took much convincing of the Democratic party and many tricks from Lincolns closest circle to convince some of them to vote for the abolishment of slavery. Many were slow to pick the side of abolishment because they were unaware and afraid of what would come of slaves now being freed, but they soon saw the way of Lincoln, and knew that if they wanted the war to end then ending slavery would be the best way to do that. For if slavery was ended the south would collapse because it depends so much on slavery. The slaves fought submission resiliantly and they came to the votings and voiced their opinions, that's how the slaves helped their own cause of ending abolishment.
