Rep. Courtney Corrects the Record on "Lincoln"

Michael Sean Winters  |  Feb. 8, 2013 Distinctly Catholic

Kudos to Connecticut Congressman Joe Courtney, CT-2, for correcting the historical record and defending the honor of my home state. In the movie "Lincoln," the principal character expresses disgust at two Connecticut congressmen who did not support him on the 13th Amendment. Courtney researched the matter and, it turns out, all of Connecticut's representatives voted in the affirmative. Full story here. [1]
