Isn’t this a revisionist Lincoln, though? From what I gather of it. Haven’t they made him into a modern liberal idealist? Again, from what I’ve gathered.
It’s a movie and no they haven’t made him a liberal idealist.
He was a moral man and a Republican who was compelled by conviction to move heaven and earth to resolve a sin and moral conflict the nation struggled with on the one and believed no matter the outcome we are stronger as a United Peoples.
His act sowed the change of heart and moved the spirit to act in unision with other spirits to make all men equal and tear down a culture dominated by a minority who would no longer intimidate but deal more honestly with their fellow man...without enslaving another and depriving them of their God given rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
