History Heartwarming / Lincoln

* Congressman Yeaman. Stevens basically bullies the meek congressman into voting in favor of the amendment. When he is initially called to vote, he so meekly states his vote that the roll caller couldn't hear him. Suddenly, when asked to clarify, he grows a spine, and ''owns'' his vote. H yells his yea vote as long as his lungs would allow, as the other proponents echo him and the opponents start yelling "Traitor!" in response. At the end when the passing vote is confirmed, he joins in the revelry, singing "Battle Cry of Freedom" with his fellow yea-voters.
