One side fought for slavery. The other side fought to send all the black people back to Africa.

This is one of the best movies of all time! I think every American should watch it.
-
yep one side fought for God, the other for the jews(devil)(north)
-
i love this movie because if you have watched it the movie is so historically accurate and it isn't one of those films that is always making it seem like the men fighting for the South are all evil slave owning demons. the movie is fair for both sides
-
its too bad movies like "the alamo" remake, and gettysburg never did well. It would be nice to see some modern day civil war movies
-
@shtony2717 a civil war is a war between people of the same country. Wanting control of the government has nothing to do with it.

@tRicKyTuRok watch it first then judge the movie

@tRicKyTuRok and your totally right. The Southern states seceded from the Union and formed their own central government, their own constitution, their own military, congress, laws, and even treasury and currency. It wasn't a civil war because in a civil war it's when two more more factions fight for control of the same government. That didn't happen. As you said, there were two countries, not one. So it wasn't a civil war. It was one country wanted freedom the other didn't want it to be free.

@kolinmartz the war was called(in america) the Great War but when the 1st world war broke out the name started to die out and soon after (2nd ww) it was simply called the war between the states and civil war.But yes they did call it the war between the states back then but not as much or as often as "The Great War".
They arent making "Last Full Measure" because God and Generals god bad reception due to all the religious stuff in it. There was alot of religious stuff involved in the Civil War. The writers were just making it accurate. People really suck...

@wadoryu2u Jackson was talking to his servant, Jim Lewis, who adored him and grieved pitifully at his death. The movie was not edited well, as "some black guy" really did seem to appear from nowhere. Before the war, Jackson started a black Sunday School at his church, and taught them to read the bible personally. As a teen, he also illegally taught his enslaved black friend how to read and write. Black people who lived within the sphere of his influence considered him a true friend and champion.
