The problem is that this is a crappy movie.

Sorry my friend, I loved it, and so has everyone I sent to see this great movie. I could see this movie ten more times, and I say it as a collector of civil war documents, and first person accounts of the affairs surrounding the war.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I didn't object to any of the things the PC crowd stated as their reasons for running the movie down.

I thought they did an excellent job of portraying the often affectionate relationship between blacks and whites, as well as the very nearly complete blindness of the whites to the immorality of their position.

I especially thought it was interesting that they did not gloss over Jackson's genuine interest in waging a war of no quarter against the northern invaders. Something not often mentioned today. That he was overruled meant we didn't have a truly vicious civil war.
