@@TrentWalker As the actor in this scene...btw you do a superb job...my critcism of this scene the books dialogue is a lot better than the rewrite you got. The book doesn't put Johnny Reb in a good light... he said "What rights are we offendin'?" "Johnny Reb replies: "I dunno but there must be some rights I don't know nothin' about I have that yall are offendin'" and then Union soliders is like omg, these guys are mindless peons who dont even know why they're fighting. Imo that's WAYYY more powerful dialogue, asides not being a slave I fail to see how Southern Whites got some massive benefit from their slave driven racial hierarchy...their job of cannon fodder for the Civil War, they weren't fielding slaves initially in that fight because slaves were property of the aristocracy, the aristocracy eats a loss when a slave gets injured or killed on the battliefield, but if the peasantry Whites get killed...no one eats a loss except their immediate family. While I like the film, I gather the director is not someone I'd ger along with, with trash Neo-confederate Lost Cause views, probably why he dictated a script rewrire from what the book says for this scene...I hate Gods and Generals, that's propaganda trash.

The respect shown to each other here is impressive, something that's rarely ever seen in wars like that. What really touched me was the song played at the beginning- it was favored by both union and confederate soldiers from Kentucky, and it really fits with this scene.

The respect shown by some individuals was great. But the conditions in which these soldiers would have been held would have been terrible. Some of the worst atrocities of the US Civil War took place in the prisoner of war internment camps, both North and South. Of these three Confederate prisoners, likely at least one wouldn't have survived their imprisonment.

Yep. And when you watch the Gettysburg reunions in the decades that followed, the love these men had for each other really makes some of the current political mud slinging over this war seem extremely silly. This was a very brutal war, but there were a lot of instances of camaraderie like this. I think this kind of thing is probably pretty rare in civil wars. I don't think the 2 sides of the Syrian civil war are going to be friendly in the coming decades.

The Tennesseans under Archer fought the First Corps under Reynolds on the first day. The remainder that were not killed or captured like these men, participated in Pickett's charge two days later. They made it to the stonewall, however Archer himself was captured and they lost their colors. Barely a third that had started the march made it back to Confederate lines. Archer's Tennessee brigade fought on until Appomattox, finishing with only 49 men and 8 officers left.

Great scene. It gives you some context of what Americans in the 19th century saw as their "country". To someone from Maine, Tennessee might as well of been on the Moon, and vice versa. Their states were their countries, and the federal government was looked at more like how Europeans look at the EU today. But this war changed all that. These men left their "country" and saw these "foreign" places that were hundreds of miles away and realize that the US was their country.

Any animosity I toward him had melted away as I, a physician, began to see him as a human being, a patient helpless and broken. I wondered if he would ever see his family again.

Damn, I wish there was a full version of that Old Kentucky Home-rendition going on in the background. I've been looking for something similar for months. xD And by the way, I am fully willing to believe that most Southern soldiers did indeed fight for their way of life and State Rights and all that. I'm not so sure about the Southern leadership, who opted for secession in the first place, though: they did have a lot to lose with the abolition of slavery. I reckon that Southern soldier propaganda placed an emphasis on State Rights, while the Southern government under-emphasized the fact that slavery was precisely the reason why State Rights (property rights in particular) were now suddenly being threatened by the federal government.

+Imperial Dutchman They didn't secede directly in order to keep their slaves. But they did secede out of a paranoid fear of declining southern power meaning that they could no longer protect their uniqueness from northern encroachment, even with their Northern Democratic allies. And yes some of that uniqueness was slave owning. The rise of the Republican Party and its openly abolitionist policy, even with a moderate President in power, made it plain that they held no power in Washington that was worth a damn, and the party in power was given a mandate to repudiate Southern uniqueness and destroy the protections under the law that had safeguarded slaveholding and other Southern privileges, such as the Fugitive Slave Act. Seeing that no advantage could be gained in waiting out the storm, and that the South was unlikely to even out Northern advantages in manpower or industrialization anytime soon, and that indeed every delay only strengthened the power of the North to impose its will on the Southern states, they made their move and seceded from the Union. Now again, part, not all but part, of what they were protecting was the right to own slaves. So it can rightly be siad that they were fighting to preserve slavery, because that was one of the results of their intended course of action. I really do doubt the common Confederate soldier gave any more than about one good damn about slavery as an institution though, many of them would in fact probably be better off if the planters had to hire help like everyone else. They fought for their own reasons, usually simply because they were defending their land and their people as they believed.
@pcbacklash_32617 жыл бұрын
An excellent analysis! As for why the common Confederate soldier fought, this is perhaps the most difficult part for most people to understand, because most of the soldiers didn't own slaves (though many more Southerners owned slaves than is commonly believed). As you correctly noted, many of them were simply defending their "homes" and their culture. But many of them also had a vested personal interest in maintaining slavery, even if they weren't slave owners themselves. In the North, the common working man was at the bottom of the economic and social 'totem pole.' But in the South, it was the slave who was at the bottom, elevating the common laborer to a higher status (albeit one still far, far below the Southern aristocracy). Thus, the common Confederate soldier wasn't merely fighting for his "rights" and his homeland. He was fighting to maintain his social standing. Of course, in the final analysis, he was still fighting for slavery, but as with many things in this world, there was more to it than meets the eye.

Always it comes down to the question, why are we fighting? Leaders and powerful men are not the ones who die. It is people like you or me. All through history so many ask why. The only answer they get is the cries of children with no parents, families with no fathers, husbands with no wives, and parents with dead children. Let's put aside the hate and live and let live. Let no man harm another. .... Nice dream isn't it?

@@benjamindouglas862 with respect Just because I say it wasn’t fair doesn’t mean I don’t understand why the war was fought. A small Amount of death for institution of slavery isn’t fair because a lot of people that died in that war had nothing to do with it. Killing innocent for more innocent isn’t called fair, it’s called stupid and Barbaric. I mean since we are on the topic of fair, why don’t we talk about how southern people are still treated like crap. It’s hilarious how people think there righteous and forgiving but when it comes to southern people you all think we are racist. A lot of us aren’t and we are living our lives to the best of our ability’s like everyone else. Also what the hell is up with your first comment? Ok I think you should tell all of this to Irish Americans. They were the ones shoved into uniforms immediately when they got of the boat but it’s fair? Why punish people who had nothing to do with it? Also if it was fair then northerns should have been brought to justice for the there part in slavery. They got rich off of slavery just like the 1% in the south did. Don’t get me wrong I understand what your saying. Slavery was a huge issue in the United States and it was arguably the biggest “sin” for the United States. I understand why you think it’s fair but it’s not fair. At least I wouldn’t use that word. Thank you for your time. Take care and best wishes

@@benjamindouglas862 I’m neither. I look at two sides of things without bias. At least I try to. It seems to me that you focus on the bad things that the south did but not on what the north did. They both were wrong and I personally don’t think I should choose a side. Both sides did good things and in a lot of cases they respected each other. When it comes to the word deserved I tend to use it very cautiously. Lee was a very big patriot the majority of his life. He was torn when he had to choose and many on both sides believed has was a good man and a gentlemen. I don’t think we have the right to say what people deserve in this case. You think very harshly against southerners and that isn’t a good thing. The south and the southerners did and is doing a lot for the country. The beautiful idea of being American is that we aren’t an ancient culture and that we aren’t all the same. We are all outcast and the unwanted here. We are a country of the unwanted and the downtrodden. All people have done horrible things and all people have done good things. I had family that fought on both sides of war and I had family that stayed out of it. I don’t think they got what they “deserved”.

92% of the Southerners who fought in the "War of Northern Aggression," DID NOT OWN SLAVES! 92%! In FACT they were small, individual dirt FARMERS, who had to compete, for FAIR grain prices, against the Planters, Who DID own Slaves. 92% is one heck of a Percentage.... That number tells you they were fighting for something else. 92% Therefore.... If the CW was about SLAVERY... Why then was there only 8% of the Southernerers that owned slaves....

@@Commodore22345 If you will do some research, you just might find: That the USA From 1776 to 1861 was backed by Private, extended Families money/ wealth. With the Majority of these Wealthy, extended families, backing the USA .... Resided in the Southern States. But with the Northern States holding the majority, in population; therefore they held the majority, in both Houses, of the USA GOVERNMENT.The Northern States Representatives Dominated over the Southern States Representatives. With the Northern States Representatives holding the majority... They WANTED A "ONE" CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT.... That controled ALL of the USA WEALTH under one heading. And since, the Northern Representatives would DOMINATE over the Southern States Representatives: The Southern States Representatives would NOT ALLOW the Northern States to dictate over their money. "States Rights!" The Northern States Representatives wanted a ONE USA CURRENCY... So, they introduced the First USA Paper CURRENCY in to circulation with the American People.... maintaing it was backed by ALL of the Wealthy, Extended Families that was backing the USA. And the Southern States Representatives had NOT been Considered in the PROCESS. The Southern States Representatives responded by introducing a "Counterfeit," paper CURRENCY into the Northern Representatives Paper Circulating CURRENCY .... Diluting the CURRENCY and making it "WORTHLESS!" Abe Lincoln went ballistic on the Congress floor: Where he stated, "We will own EVERYTHING these Southerners have, before they were through." THIS IS WHAT STARTED THE CIVIL WAR! At that time, the Wealthy people in the USA stored their Wealth on their property and in their homes. (This is what Sherman was after in his march to the Sea.) And some of these Wealthy Families OWNED THEIR OWN PRIVATE BANKS...There was NO one USA UNIFORM CURRENCY. Most of it was in gold and silver coinage. The DIX was used in many Southern States "Lousiana," was backed by French...People... Their Coinage was referred to as the "Dixie!" And there was another Wealthy Extended family circulating a Coinage in California... With the Gold Rush. There was 5 different coinage, being circulated ALL over the USA, at that time.
