Spielberg's+Lincoln

1) Read the article for a general view of the way historians reacted to Spielberg's Lincoln.

[|Spielberg's Lincoln]

2) Select two opposing viewpoints on the value of historical "fiction".

My recommendation is to read Eric Foner's piece in the NY Times ( [|Letter to the Editor] , //New York Times, //November 26, 2012) and Kevin Levin's article in The Atlantic “Historians Need To Give Steven Spielberg A Break” ( [|November 26, 2012] )

3) Please print, read and highlight articles. Be prepared for class discussion
