bad reviews of this movie are just what we would expect from liberal media outlets such as the AP. They'll talk the movie down so people won't go watch and see the real truth of what happened 140+ years ago. There's alot of info that can be put out in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Might get some who are misinformed on the Civil War to rethink it, or worse yet, to go out and get a book for more information.

Gods and Generals is filled with challenging theological questions, but the movie appears to have struck historically and theologically illiterate reviewers as showing little more than a bunch of Bible-thumping rednecks sitting around talking about Jesus while fighting to keep the slaves back on the plantation.
That kind of says it all. I am so sick of all this pc crap. Some of you might disagree with me, but I think there is pretty good chance slavery in the South would have died a natural death. I think the way reconstruction was handled caused racism to flourish. Also even though segregation was wrong I think the white leadership in the civil rights movement from the North in the fifties, and sixties were rife with communist agitators who thought the civil rights movement in the South was a way to divide the country under the guise of a noble cause.
Southerners have always had much in common with the Southern blacks, and I think in time things would have worked out.
