Calling out 'Lincoln' inaccuracies

"How could congressmen from Connecticut — a state that supported President Lincoln and lost thousands of her sons fighting against slavery on the Union side of the Civil War — have been on the wrong side of history?" This is what congressman Joe Courtney (Democrat) said about the film. Courtney did some investigating and verified his hunch that those Connecticut congressmen depicted in the film -- and two more who weren't portrayed -- were actually key in the passage of the 13th Amendment. Connecticut voted for it across the board.
