Dear Jeff:

Led by an all-star cast including Double Academy Award (TM) Winners Daniel Day-Lewis as XVIth President Of The United States, Abraham Lincoln, Republican-Illinois & Sally Field as First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, & Academy Award (TM) Winner Tommy Lee Jones, "Lincoln" is truly a film with a sense of history. It not only shows how President Lincoln won the war, it showcases for history students the abomination that is slavery & how the President did whatever "horse trading" in terms of political deals it took to get the XIIIth Amendment to the United States Constitution passed to abolish it.

"The Union IV Ever Hurrah Boys Hurrah Down With The Traitiors Up With The Stars Now We Rally Round The Flag Boys We Rally Once Again Shouting The Battle Cry Of Freedom",
