Speilberg’s “Lincoln” nit-picked by a history nerd, part 2

Clearly the opening scene of the movie has more artistic than strictly historical accuracy. Even so that scene doesn’t quite sit right.

It is hard to imagine not only that common soldiers had chunks of the Gettysburg Address memorized but that they would quote it back to the original author of that address.
