I was stationed at Ft. Campbell KY during my time in the army, but lived off post in Clarksville. A very short walk from our house was a confederate cemetery. It was sobering, to say the least. The headstones revealed 16-17 year old Lts, 19 year old company commanders, and 23-25 year old battalion commanders. Each was chiseled with âkilled at Spotsylvaniaâ or âkilled at Gettysburgâ and so on. Iâd always been a student of the civil war, but seeing it in person in this fashion really drove it home. It went from dusty history to a very tangible reality on the spot.

This scene canât be underestimated. I grew up watching 50âs and 60âs movies about the Civil War and of course Gone With the Wind. Those movies were so romanticized, so bloodless, so delightful and palatable for a 20th century audience. This scene shattered all of that and brought me back to reality of what the war really was. And journalists accounts of the time, like Frank Leslie, attest to the carnage. As the 19th centuryâs trauma subsided the 20th century sought a revised romanticism and it stuck until 1990 when Glory was released.

Most of the Federal regiments who participated in the fighting around the vicinity of the cornfield were green regiments, regiments that were brand new and were just formed three weeks before the battle. They came toe-to-toe against Stonewall Jackson's veteran troops who fought in the Shenandoah Valley and suffered heavy casualties contesting the cornfield.

4:40 - "Mother help me!"
Chills, man. You know whoever yelled that was scared out of his mind, most likely bleeding out on the ground, knowing that he was about to die.

You just know the reenactors they brought in for this movie were having the time of their lives.
