I'm a Canadian, and I guess I din't have the same emotions invested in this movie as an American might.

But I can only imagine the nightmare of having to go to war against my fellow-countrymen. The soldiers of the American Civil War have my sympathy. May they rest in peace.

@Anekantavad Perhaps we can only imagine the nightmare of having to commit yourself, body and soul to a bayonet charge with the thought of feeling cold steel run through your neck. But i'm sure you would have to make such a commitment whenever the situation presented itself. We all gather some courage deep within ourselves somehow as these men have.

who didn't get that tingle of Pride when he yelled Bayonets

I mean that too, fuck all the detractors. America aint perfect, but they stand for what is right and in the end, that is ALL that matters. Thanks America. You have helped (along with MANY others) to ensure that in our time. Right now, morality still lifts its head over evil. Well, mostly. A LOT of despots out there (lookin at you South America, Asia, East Europe, and much of Africa.) But we will get there. Liberty will come. Even if it takes 1000 years... we will FREE all people

I know the truths of the war, but the fact is, history remembers it as the North freeing the slaves. While this may not have been the #1 priority at the time (preservation of the Union was Lincoln's aim, and success) WE remember it as a war to free men in bondage. Forever after this war America would be a beacon of Liberty. God Bless America, as He forgives any shortcomings they might have because of the causes they champion. AND... I am a Canadian, so, no bias here.

@chippewaman1975 ..True pretty muuch everything that happened on the other flank was pretty much glossed over (except for Trimble's outburst/outrage in a meeting with Lee) and another scene which was deleted involving..Early, Anderson, Ewell and Lee discussing some of action..but yeah that probably would have required another two and half hrs of film to show it.

Many great charges happened at Gettysburg leading up to the great Pickett's charge, but one charge not as well known and not shown in the movie Gettysburg was William Barksdales charge at the Peach Orchard. One Unioncolonel said "It was the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man" They pushed all the way to Plum Run and were counter attacked by Colonel George L. Willards brigade. Barksdale was wounded the 12 times and his last words were "Tell my wife am killed, but we fought like hell"
