RE: Lincoln Movie - Your Reviews
I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know the context in which the incident that supposedly occurred at the Anderson Cottage was portrayed. Therefore, I can only guess that it was included to draw attention to the recent claims that have been made and also to show the many facets of Lincoln that keep us wondering.

Changing the subject in mid-stream: Knowing that the movie is based around Team of Rivals, would someone please explain to me the brouhaha that went on 150 years ago in mid-December of 1862, when Chase was mad at the two Sewards and Blair got involved and resignations started flying and a Senate Republican caucus committee had to meet with the Cabinet (sans Seward) to get things straightened out.

Since I'm allergic to politics, I don't want to have to do research to find this out. However, it intrigued me as I was preparing the December newsletter for the Surratt Society. Those of you who are members know that we have been carrying a synopsis of what happened each month of the Civil War using the work of E.B. Long in The Civil War Day By Day, 1861-1865. I had heard something about this back when I was in college, but I guess it flew over my head. Seeing it now has made my inquiring mind want to know what went on.
