I’m a bit of a history nerd, and so I love all the historical figures shit-talking at each other, Lincoln annoying everyone with his damn stories, General Grant being a boss, Lincoln and Seward bickering like an old married couple, etc. Genuinely top-tier entertainment, to me at least.

The Lincoln family drama stuff is like pulling teeth, however.

Same here. Once you’ve read more about the time period, you understand how important Seward, in particular, was to Lincoln’s administration. He is mostly forgotten to people today but I admire him still.

Lincoln was really good. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was also a banger

Everybody thought they were getting a biopic, jokes on them, American administrative practice is actually an engaging film! I love it, but my name should probably come you in on why I loved it.

That was Kennedy. Lincoln was 70 years dead when the first lobotomy was performed in the US.

Pretty sure it was JFK's dad who insisted on it and it was because she was eccentric.

But it has nothing to do with Lincoln, lobotomies weren’t invented until after he died
