We went to see "Lincoln" this afternoon. Everyone should see it. Not because of the great acting, though that was at least serviceable.
See it for the politics.
If you still think that the present exchange of vitriole among American political figures is unusual in our history, the movie should disabuse you of that notion.
The plot is centered on events leading to approval by the House of Representatives of the Thirteenth Amendment to abolish slavery. You might think this would be a slam dunk for Union politicians, especially Republicans. You'd be wrong.
See the movie and find out why.
