The Hunley trailer

[1967mustanggta]

Darned good movie



[josded]

The south was fighting because they were sick of the see-saw motion of the country's politics. Whenever one side had more power, the other half of the country was neglected or abused. So they secceded in order to solve the problem. They secceded because their people were no longer being represented by their government. They were even discussing freeing the slaves before the war started. Sorry for any misspells, I'm on my iphone

[josded]

The south was provoked. Lincoln sent a supply ship to ft sumpter knowing it would be turned away. He knew this would agitate south Carolina enough for them to open fire on the fort. It was a convienient way for him to start a war without firing the first shot.

I just finished watchin' this movie 'bout an hour ago. It was great. I haven't seen it in years but it was just as good as I remembered.The irishman is my favorite character.As I said about the video "Bringing in the Hunley",this movie helps to put some real perspective on the situation; what those men must or mite have went thru.Thank God they finally made it home.GOD REST THE BRAVE CREW OF THE HUNLEY.

ok, lincoln was a racist, but everybody white or black was a racist, and that still doesn't change the fact that the south were just a bunch of bitches who went back crying to their mommies after the north wiped their asses. i guess a better education, and a non inbred military went along way.

@BCraven04 thank you!!!!

[boats752]

would you idiots stop arguing over what the Cw was about? its over and done with,

[HardyRoundtree]

Outstanding video

[Dauntless07]

"We're gonna be fast," lol, if by fast you mean 5 knots, but I guess that was fast back then. Looks like a good movie, I'll have to check out the library for it.

[Dauntless07]

BTW, guys, Lincoln was racist, just accept it, the Emancipation Proclamation was made to complicate the south's manpower shortage. If slaves ran away, whites had to take their place, and those working the economy would not be ble to fight too. Lincoln never had any intenton of a crusade to free the slaves. The south seceeded, what choice did he have besides war?

My Dad and my sisters and I were in this Movie as Extras. However, I was the only one in one scene. It was The Funeral. I was the little girl in a white shirt holding a flag. It has been so long since i have seen the film I forget which flag it was. This was filmed on the last sunday before I started 4th grade, in 1998. I was 8 years old. What memories and my dad worked mainly with Assante.

[HardyRoundtree]

Outstanding... I just returned from a trip to Charleston to view the HL Hunley and also to vist the graves of her crew. Brave heroes.

Why do all wars begin...money, power, territory....

[sOnarPL]

good movie. good theme. great attack. great history. brave people...

[beatlesmania41]

So what rights of man were being trampled by the "federal beast" during the civil war?

Was it the right to own slaves I wonder?

[BCraven04]

The war wasn't fought over slavery.

For the South it was our second fight for independance and we fought it because we felt like our voices weren't being heard.

The north fought it to preserve the union, not slavery as so many think. The Emancipation Proclamation came in late into the war and was only given to boost moral and support for the North.

PS. Did you know Abraham Lincoln was a racist? Yeah, that's right. He hated black people.

[PapagenoJuan]

Everyone that I know hates black people...whats your fucking point liberal !!

[1AnonymousPatriot]

King Lincoln suspended the Writ of Habeus Corpus, imposed a tax that would cause the south to pay 80% of the country's expenses and Lincoln knew that if he did not get the CSA back into the Union, the textile mills, etc. would have gone to shit. That's what the South was fighting for.

[BCraven04]

My point, PapagenoJuan, is that the Civil War was not fought to end slavery. If Lincoln did not like blacks then why would he free them?

[masterDevis]

Oh that's gossip rag bullshit and you know it: Lincoln was NOT racist. Just another lie used as a cry for attention.

[BCraven04]

Oh? Massa Devis, then how do you explain this? On Oct. 13, 1858, during his famed debates with Judge Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln stated: "I agree with Judge Douglas that he [a black] is not my equal in many respects, certainly not in color — perhaps not in intellectual and moral endowments either".

[justwannawatchvids]

Why would we want attention from fools who worship at the feet of a dead politician of notable greed and dishonesty.

[Draikar]

Civil War was more about economics and economic independence, Lincoln did not hate or like blacks, he just hated slavery and that the South was going to declare independence's. Almost since America was founded the south and north were two independence body's with different idea's.

[crazycuntryboy2]

Lincoln did NOT hate slavery. He did NOT like the idea of a racial equal America either. READ HIS FIRST Inaugural ADDRESS.

[Thx1138d]

The slaveowners, 6% of the south had all the money and power.

[rleigh87]

@BCraven04 thank you! Thank you very much! :)

[JohnMartinsonII]

@BCraven04 You are correct that Lincoln was a racist. It is also worth noting that this wretched Union has never honored any of its treaties with the American Indians (read: Real Americans) nor have they kept the promise of the Emancipation Proclamation. If they kept their promise then African Americans would have been granted a plot of land approximately the size of Texas. The land is still owed to African Americans...but the USA doesn't care about them.

[samorias]

@BCraven04

Lincoln hated black people, yeh, cuz that's why he offered them a save haven in the north, because he hated them, what's next? obama is actually white, and plotting to kill all blacks?

[jaikwillis]

@BCraven04 the south felt its voice wasn't being heard... in the matter of slavery. Its amazing that people are still trying to dodge the facts here. The Southern Traitors were conservative Terrorists, they attacked Fort Sumter with no provocation and eventually were responsible for the deaths of thousands of their own countrymen. All for the cause of their supposed "right" to keep slaves. There's no excuse, there's no reason to defend it now. It was wrong and its still wrong.

[14ByTheSword]

@BCraven04 Yep, not too many know that he wanted to free the slaves with the intent to repatriate them back to Africa.

[MrTieDye]

Southern Patriots fought and gained Independence for each of the original 13 American Nations (States).

Later the sons and grandsons of those very Southern Patriots were obliged to fight against a Federal Beast which had trampled the rights of men and become a tyrant.

"Honest" Abe sent in the Federal Army to punish the South, and to enslave every man woman and child in the South.

Today we are still fighting for our Freedom form that Federal Beast.

[veronesedissident]

Hey RedWNF, maybe think about downloading that very dramatic scene when they're being bombed and they start singing the 'Bonnie Blue Flag.' That would be awesome.

[mush1955]

Great film.......I nearly had to hold my breath all through the film
