But in the movie Lincoln, wasn't the 13th amendment passed by congress alone? It wasn't sent to the states.

(Maybe this wasn't addressed in the movie).

My bad. The 13th was ratified by the states, but later.

Takes away some of the "drama" of the movie though.

Are we to govern by a movie or what is codified in our Constitution?
