RE: Lincoln onscreen
I recently watched Buster Keaton's silent film "The General" on TCM. I loved this film. Keeton was also the director. "After being rejected by the Confederate military, not realizing it was due to his crucial civilian role, an engineer must single-handedly recapture his beloved locomotive after it is seized by Union spies and return it through enemy lines." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017925/
You can watch the full length feature here.

IMDb.com is a great site to check out these Silent Movies. Although many of these are lost to history there is still a lot known about them including photos, plot summaries, cast and crew, writers and directors and more.

Here's a list of 74 compiled 4 yrs. ago featuring Lincoln in any role. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls023521274/

There's another list created last year with 475 Silent Civil War Movies.
