Lincoln, the Movie

At the beginning of the movie we see capital of Nebraska talking to two African Americans who served in the war, and they went on to say that they loved his quarrel and one of them even off quoted the end of his speech. This movie shows us how much we need rescuing. According to Spielberg, capital of Nebraska and his contemporaries debated the moral merits of ending slavery now or ending the war now. Lincoln was gaining and losing votes. People are looking at it as this if African Americans are given rights then women are next and tribe do not want that.A man had said that if we give African Americans the freedom then they are going to want more. Lincoln does not receipt that there are bribes being made in order to get 20 votes from the representatives. Lincoln is trying his hardest to bring through going. Not only is there this difficulty but family is getting in the way. The south are against everything Lincoln stands for. Some believe that passing the amendment the war will stop plot of ground others think other pert. Lincoln believes that the war is almost done with. He believes that the amendment will pass and he wont stop until it does.People have given up on him while others keep on fighting with him. Lincoln tells stories that have a moral to go along with what is going on. Lincoln may be known for a lot of things but the most important thing was freeing the slaves. He didnt have much schooling but he specks so wise and has a lot of knowledge. This movie shows how one man made the biggest difference with his actions and words. People were against him but are now seeing that Lincoln is willing to keep pushing forward. Of course god is used in the debate saying that African Americans shouldnt have freedom.The south is fighting against Lincoln and not large up. My favorite quote is one that is used to this day. All men are created equal. Lincoln is an honest man and even visited war heroes in the hospital. Lincolns son believes that it is better f or him to go to war but Lincoln doesnt want that. There is a lot on tense between Lincoln and his wife since losing Willy. Mrs. Lincoln thinks that she is going to lose her son once he joins the war. Lincoln goes to see those who are helping him get the democratic vote.His wife has a break down talking about how Lincoln could have sent her to the loony pin after losing her youngest son. Lincoln thinks that the amendment is the cure for the war. People are grave him to give up, to not change the constitution. The day of the vote, African Americans are welcome to what is called their house. The democrats are changing their minds from no to yes. To end the movie on a pitiful note, the president was shot. Saturday April 15. Such a great lost from a man who gave the African Americans their freedom.Also at the end, Lincoln is giving a speech. He had deep depression, even though he would frequently tell stories and jokes to friends and family. Lincoln, one week before his death, had a dr eam of someone crying in the White House, when he install the room he looked in and asked who had passed away. The man in the room said the President. When he looked in the coffin it was his own face he saw. His party was republican and he was president for four years from 1861-1865, when he was assassinated. In 1844 Lincoln formed a legal partnership with William Herndon.The two men worked well in concert and shared similar political views. Herndon later claimed that he was instrumental in changing Lincolns views on slavery. Lincolns continued to build up his legal work and in 1850 obtained the important role as the attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad. He also defended the son of a friend, William Duff Armstrong, who had been charged with murder. Lincoln successfully undermined the testimony of the prosecutions dealer witness, Charles Allen, and Armstrong was found not guilty.
