Excerpt from Article:
"The radicals, led by Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), the sharp-tongued chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and an aging lion of the Abolitionist movement, demand a vote on a constitutional amendment ending slavery. The conservatives in the party, whose gray eminence is Preston Blair (Hal Holbrook), are lukewarm at best, preferring to push for peace talks with the Confederacy that evade a decisive solution to the problem of slavery."
Paraphrase:
Thaddeus Stevens, played by Tommy Lee Jones is the "sharp-tongued" radical chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Thaddeus is also an "aging lion" of the Abolitionist Movement while pushing the vote to end slavery. Preston Blair, played by Hal Holbrook is the head of the conservative party which are pushing for peace with the Confederacy. In their talks of peace, they bypass ending slavery.
Revised:
Thaddeus Stevens, played by Tommy Lee Jones is the belittling leader of the Ways and Means Committee and the Radicals. Thaddeus acts as the worn commander of the Abolitionist Movement while pushing the vote to end slavery. Preston Blair, played by Hal Holbrook is the halfhearted head of the conservative party who strives for peace with the Confederacy. In their talks of peace, they bypass ending slavery.
