When was the Tammany Society called Tammany Hall? Did the Lincoln movie get this wrong?

by shivadance

In the movie Lincoln (2012) , Abraham Lincoln compares his staff to "pettifogging Tammany Hall hucksters". According to Wikipedia, the organization was started as the Tammany Society in 1786, but did not have a hall built until 1868, three years after Lincoln's death. Was this Tammany Society also called Tammany Hall in 1865, or is this an anachronism in the movie?

I'm not sure that answers the question. It seems that you are saying that they were called Tammany Hall all along, but the article you site doesn't mention them, and the original article I cited seems to suggest that the Hall part wasn't added until they actually had a place built.
