Abstract
According as a university education has responded to the changing times, movies have been good teaching materials. In this educational environment, this study tries to explore the case study to use Lincoln (2013) directed by Steven Spielberg as a means of drawing learners’ attention to historical backdrops. Learners that have difficulty in grasping historical contexts can find out the point of contact with major historical issues from the Civil War to the early 19th century such as Indian Removal Act, New York City Draft Riots and Jim Crow Law etc. In the process of understanding various historical events based on the movie, the learners may bring out various questions and discuss them. It means that learners can enhance their critical thinking and extend the comprehensive faculty to human being and the world.
