I heard the movie wasn't all that great, but IDK maybe they're wrong. Oh, and in real life Abe wasn't that great of a person he was actually a tyrant. He imprisoned people in the north for talking bad about the Civi war which is violation of the first addmentment.
Also, he didn't care if slavery was abolished, he just wanted it to be so north would be happy, and sence they were stronger then the south. He would have easier time getting the country together.
I guess he did it for the good but he went a bit overboard with it. I think slavery would of ended eventually, this has happened with many civilizations throughout history. He did some more bad things, but nothing I can think on top of my head.
