I loved the movie and the 2.5 hours went by so fast. I too found it interesting that the Democrats didn't want to abolish slavery. I want to see the movie again so I can check out the clothing, furniture, etc. more closely. I was so engrossed in the dialogue that I didn't study the surroundings too closely.
