My understanding of the American Civil War originated from high school history textbooks, which are naturally pretending to be compelling. Don't tell everyone the truth, just tell everyone the meaning, the meaning is still taken for granted. After reading "Gods and Generals", I probably learned that the American Civil War was basically fought in Virginia, and the purpose of the war was for the Confederation or the Confederacy.
Anyone who has taken a middle school history class knows that the cause of the American Civil War was caused by "Uncle Tom's Cabin". What the film in the play tells us is that this is not a war about justice, but a war about fairness. In other words, the U.S. central government and the Virginia local government fought a cruel match on the battlefield based on the principle of fairness. And the abolition movement is nothing but a label put on the game by the northern government. Of course, the label affixed by the southern government is freedom. So from a formal point of view, this game is called the battle of "human power and free will".
Having been educated in China for many years, I have always sympathized with the North for the American Civil War. One is that people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the rights of others are respectable, and secondly, the North has suffered a series of miserable defeats. After watching the film, I turned to sympathize with the South. This army, which was dressed in ragged clothes, could not afford to live in a tent, and could not even drink sweet potato soup, faced the well-equipped northern army and treated death as if at home, and generously killed the enemy. Although the northern army is also exceptionally brave, the generals in the north are just like their masters (big bankers, big industrialists), and they exude an aura of greed. In contrast, the generals of the southern army showed noble cultivation and rigorous qualities. Therefore, to compare which General Li and Hu Ke met the standards of a good general, this vote went to Li without hesitation.
In addition, by observing the North and South "Stonewall Generals" Jackson and Chamberlain, I found an outstanding character who can demonstrate his excellence in every word and deed in his daily life. Therefore, if you find a person who is accustomed to spoofing or complaining, you must be careful. Most of these people have no precious qualities to be proud of for you to learn and imitate, and most of these people are People who have not succeeded in success, and who have suffered more than failure.
