Very informative & moving.

The movie Lincoln focuses exclusively on Lincoln's insistence on the emancipation proclamation as a condition of ending the war. I think that was a great way of boiling down his life into the most significant days. He asked for a vote from his cabinet and I believe every person in his cabinet opposed it. He looked around, paused for dramatic effect, and said 'The ayes have it.'
