Lincoln Movie Reflection

Lincoln was a powerful film. It was about how President Abraham Lincoln turned the war around. How abolishing slavery helped stop the civil war. It is a film about leadership and persuasion of others done by a leader that knows how to form strong words and use complex sentences.
Abraham Lincoln was a powerful leader. His speeches, though some were short, definitely made a point and made it clear and concise. Lincoln was a republican leader, but an exemplary one at that.

He used humor in his talks to enlighten the people in the room. He used laughter not only for his and others enjoyment but, for political reasons as well.

If Lincoln were president, I do not think the United States would be in the position it is today. Lincoln would push for what he believed was right. He would use his determination and persuasion to convince the others involved in the government. Lincoln would persuade them to vote for bills he wants. He would use others that felt the same way, like in the movie, and have them also try and talk to others that are opposed to the
