* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Lincoln and the Union aren't just fighting to abolish slavery and keep the United States together, but also to rid the country of the vampires who have been perpetuating slavery all along. In terms of comparisons to RealLife, Abe in the movie is shown to be a vocal and physical protester of slavery, being best friends with the former slave and the real Lincoln's valet William H. Johnson and getting into fights on his behalf since childhood. Even in the book, Lincoln worked to abolish slavery mostly to cut off the vampiric population's food supply.
