  3. A spiritual to mark the 150th anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation

    On New Year's Day, 150 years ago, American history was forever changed when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. As we all know too well, that document alone did not free any slaves, but it was a crucial step that made clear the...

  4. Will "Lincoln" error spoil its Oscar shot?

    Connecticut congressman Joe Courtney pointed out a historic blooper in the film &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; -- and some Hollywood experts wonder if the resultant fuss will mar the film&rsquo;s shot at a best-picture Oscar. (Some even wonder if Joe Courtney is gunning for &ldquo;Argo&rdquo; because its star, Ben Affleck, had campaigned for him.) "Lincoln" had congressmen from Connecticut voting to uphold slavery when in fact all Connecticut's congressmen voted for the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. The film's writer, Tony Kushner, said that was a dramatic device to heighten suspense, and many historians say they're not concerned about the minor inaccuracy because the film captured the bigger point -- Lincoln&rsquo;s drive to get the 13th Amendment passed. What's your view? Should (or will) the inaccuracy kill the film's chance to get a best picture award? Or will the judges give the filmmakers a break, given the stirring larger story the movie tells?

  5. TV review: 'Killing Lincoln' all over again

    America's fascination with Abraham Lincoln seems nearly limitless--Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is an Oscar favorite, Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 book "Team of Rivals," on which Spielberg's film is partly based, remains on the New York Times bestseller list, where Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln" is currently No. 8.

  8. Oscars and American history: True, or true enough?

    A modest proposal: Movies exploring some aspect of American history, such as &ldquo;Argo,&rdquo; &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; and &ldquo;Zero Dark Thirty,&rdquo; should leave off the &ldquo;based on a true story&rdquo; or &ldquo;inspired by true events&rdquo; language and stick to what &ldquo;Lincoln&rdquo; screenwriter Tony Kushner advocates: a clear, simple and proud declaration of &ldquo;historical fiction.&rdquo;

  12. In 'Lincoln,' a historical lapse

    Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" has been acclaimed not just by critics but by historians as well for its acute and realistic portrayal of the 16th president as he maneuvered to pass the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States. But the filmmakers got at least one detail wrong: They depicted two Connecticut delegates to the House of Representatives voting against the amendment when, in fact, all four of Connecticut's House members voted for it in 1865. Now, one of the state's current representatives, Joe Courtney, a Democrat, has written to Spielberg asking if the movie could be corrected before it's released on DVD.
