You may. Although it is one of the very few original things I've ever said.

Default Nobody Said 'Racial Equality' in 1865: The Anachronistic English of 'Lincoln'
Civil War soldiers weren't named Kevin, and "peace talks" didn't exist yet: You can learn a lot from the ways that Tony Kushner's Oscar-nominated script strays from the vernacular of Lincoln's day.

Icon02 Lincoln error accuses Connecticut of being pro-slavery
A glaring historical inaccuracy has been spotted in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’, putting the state of Connecticut on the wrong side of the slavery debate.

The Oscar nominated film wrongly depicts Connecticut congressmen as voting against the 13th Amendment to outlaw slavery, when, in reality all four of the state’s representatives voted in favour of the abolition in January 1865.
