it was good although I would have liked to see lincoln actually winning an argument without him telling one of his goofy anecdotes

This. Actually a super comfy film in retrospect. DDL was literally perfect, and the scene where Tommy Lee Jones recks is one of my fave scenes. It's dry and slow in parts but it's great

We know. The issue with slavery was that it would just cause another civil war in 50 or 100 years, and had to be eliminated. It wasn't about equality, though even people who thought black were inferior felt slavery was ultimately too cruel.

By all accounts that's what he did all the time
I also liked how DDL made his voice high like it really was, not some booming baritone
