Death of the North and the South

Throughout the film, through the exchange of characters, it expresses to the audience people's view of war during the Civil War. This is a helpless war without ideology, justice or evil, and both are heroes and patriots.
The liberation of black slaves is generally regarded as irrefutable justice in current value judgments, but it is not so simple in the historical environment at that time. Of course, from a moral point of view, the South is ashamed of itself, but slavery was not invented by this generation, but has been passed down for thousands of years. Why should their generation bear the pain of change? This is an emotion.
In addition, the United States was born out of the pursuit of freedom by white Europeans. Freedom has been integrated into the American blood. The interference of the North on the black slave issue is seen by the Southerners as a violation of their freedom and property. They are not fighting for their freedom. Black slaves, but to protect their own rights and interests.

    Can insist on watching is the Civil War control. . . . I'll admit I'm about three-quarters of the way through it. . .

    Morale is to be encouraged, and the strength comes from the homes and relatives behind them.

Gettysburg quotes

  • [Historical quote]

    Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead: Virginians! Virginians! For your land - for your homes - for your sweethearts - for your wives - for Virginia! Forward... march!

  • General Robert E. Lee: Gen. Longstreet, do you mind if I accompany you?

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: Not at all. I am very glad to have you with us, Sir.

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: The heat reminds me of Mexico.

    General Robert E. Lee: Yes, but the air was very dry.

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: That was a good outfit. I remember storming the ramparts of Chapultepec with old George Pickett, REynolds, my old friend Ulysses Sam Grant. There was some good men in that army.

    General Robert E. Lee: Yes sir, there were indeed.

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: Some of those men are waiting for us now up ahead on those ridges.

    [pause]

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: I don't know. I sometimes feel troubled. Those fellas - those boys in blue - they never quite seem the enemy.

    General Robert E. Lee: I know.

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: I used to command some of those boys. Swore an oath too. Ah... I - I couldn't fight against Georgia, South Carolina. Not against my own family...

    General Robert E. Lee: No Sir. There was always a higher duty to Virginia. That was our first duty. There was never any question or doubt about that.

    Lieutenant General James Longstreet: Guess so.

    General Robert E. Lee: Let us no think about that now. The issue is in God's hands. We can only do our duty.

    General Robert E. Lee: General, soldiering has one great trap: to be a good solider you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love. We do not fear our own death you and I. But there comes a time...

    General Robert E. Lee: We are never quite prepared for so many to die. Oh, we do expect the occasional empty chair. A salute to fallen comrades. But this war goes on and on and the men die and the price gets ever higher. We are prepared to loose some of us, but we are never prepared to loose all of us. And there is the great trap General. When you attack, you must hold nothing back. You must commit yourself totally. We are adrift here in a sea of blood and I want it to end. I want this to be the final battle.
