Gods and Generals
|
| 00:05:23 |
Welcome, Colonel Lee. |
| 00:05:27 |
Make yourself comfortable |
| 00:05:38 |
Allow me to get to the point, sir. |
| 00:05:41 |
I have been authorized by |
| 00:05:44 |
...with the full blessing |
| 00:05:47 |
...to offer you full command of the Army |
| 00:05:52 |
This Army being raised to quell this |
| 00:06:01 |
I assume this Army is to be used |
| 00:06:05 |
...to eliminate the rebellion by force. |
| 00:06:08 |
Yes, sir, the Federal government |
| 00:06:13 |
...who have been most effective |
| 00:06:15 |
...the sentiments |
| 00:06:18 |
...challenging our Constitution and |
| 00:06:23 |
The attack on Fort Sumter |
| 00:06:28 |
General, my home is right there |
| 00:06:32 |
Why, you can see Arlington House |
| 00:06:36 |
My family is spread all |
| 00:06:40 |
If you invade the South, your enemy |
| 00:06:46 |
Well, sir, there is no great outcry |
| 00:06:52 |
It's not a foregone conclusion that |
| 00:06:57 |
...or Kentucky will join the rebellion. |
| 00:07:01 |
My friend, may I humbly submit that |
| 00:07:05 |
As you know, the legislature is |
| 00:07:09 |
...to discuss the very |
| 00:07:12 |
Now, perhaps you know their mind |
| 00:07:19 |
And I regret to say the president's |
| 00:07:25 |
...to subdue the rebellion |
| 00:07:28 |
...has done nothing to ameliorate |
| 00:07:35 |
I trust you're not being |
| 00:07:40 |
This is a great opportunity |
| 00:07:49 |
My country, Mr. Blair? |
| 00:07:54 |
I never thought I'd see the day |
| 00:07:57 |
...would raise an army |
| 00:08:05 |
No, Mr. Blair, I cannot lead it. |
| 00:08:14 |
I'm sorry to hear you say that, sir. |
| 00:08:17 |
I fear you're making |
| 00:08:30 |
Sir, please convey my deep sense of |
| 00:08:35 |
...but I must decline his offer. |
| 00:08:38 |
Please tell him. |
| 00:08:41 |
Please be clear. I have |
| 00:08:45 |
...but I have no greater duty |
| 00:09:00 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 00:09:22 |
Gentlemen, if you are going |
| 00:09:27 |
...you have one common goal: |
| 00:09:31 |
If you are placing |
| 00:09:36 |
...you will not succeed either with me |
| 00:09:41 |
I had hoped you'd see that with a |
| 00:09:45 |
...I've laid before you today, |
| 00:09:48 |
...these principles with great |
| 00:09:52 |
But since you seem unable |
| 00:09:57 |
...I'm forced to conclude I must repeat |
| 00:10:06 |
Word for word. |
| 00:10:35 |
Major, listen to them. The leaders |
| 00:10:41 |
...screaming for the destruction |
| 00:10:44 |
Sir, President Lincoln is raising |
| 00:10:52 |
I will not stay in a place where my |
| 00:11:01 |
Major, I'm leaving |
| 00:11:06 |
War is the sum of all evils. |
| 00:11:09 |
But if I know myself, |
| 00:11:13 |
...is at the service of my |
| 00:11:17 |
Your country, Thomas? |
| 00:11:19 |
Your country, my country. It's all one. |
| 00:11:25 |
All one, Thomas. All one. |
| 00:11:38 |
So that in the midst of the searching |
| 00:11:44 |
...the delegates of this convention... |
| 00:11:47 |
...harried by the actions of a belligerent |
| 00:11:53 |
...have stumbled into secession. |
| 00:11:55 |
Now God knows, I and many |
| 00:12:00 |
But how could there be union |
| 00:12:06 |
...that wants to impose |
| 00:12:11 |
Now that Virginia confronts the armed |
| 00:12:17 |
...we Virginians have determined |
| 00:12:23 |
...be polluted by the foot of an invader. |
| 00:12:39 |
Now, in the memory of that great |
| 00:12:44 |
...who was first in the hearts |
| 00:12:48 |
...upon the memory of his own gallant |
| 00:12:54 |
...this convention now calls upon |
| 00:13:01 |
...of the armed forces of |
| 00:13:35 |
Mr. President, gentlemen |
| 00:13:39 |
...I'm profoundly impressed by the |
| 00:13:43 |
...for which I must say |
| 00:13:47 |
I accept the position assigned me |
| 00:13:52 |
I would have much preferred had |
| 00:13:58 |
But trusting to Almighty God, |
| 00:14:04 |
...and the aid of my fellow citizens... |
| 00:14:07 |
...I devote myself to the service |
| 00:14:12 |
...in whose behalf alone will I |
| 00:15:52 |
We must not fear the final result of this |
| 00:15:59 |
...and many a heart throb |
| 00:16:02 |
...before we can breathe the exhilarating |
| 00:16:07 |
...and feel the sweet assurance |
| 00:16:13 |
There's nothing in this life more dear |
| 00:16:18 |
...except perhaps the memory |
| 00:16:25 |
When you go to Richmond, |
| 00:16:30 |
...you must not fear for us. |
| 00:16:37 |
Surely goodness and mercy have |
| 00:16:50 |
Now be on your way, |
| 00:17:02 |
Y'all be coming on back, you hear? |
| 00:17:06 |
We'll be back, Martha. |
| 00:17:12 |
I won't forget to write you, sister. |
| 00:17:15 |
I know there are a thousand brothers |
| 00:17:19 |
...and I know we're not |
| 00:17:24 |
But I've never felt sadder in my life. |
| 00:17:38 |
Good morning, major. |
| 00:18:02 |
Cadet Norris, return to the Institute. |
| 00:18:06 |
I will be at his office |
| 00:18:09 |
Sir. |
| 00:18:13 |
"You are ordered to report with the |
| 00:18:18 |
...to begin training and organization |
| 00:18:21 |
...for the defense of the |
| 00:18:26 |
My esposita. |
| 00:18:30 |
Come, before I leave, we must sit... |
| 00:18:33 |
...read together, the verse. |
| 00:18:39 |
Here. |
| 00:18:43 |
Yes, here. Corinthians... |
| 00:18:49 |
I have been thinking about this verse. |
| 00:18:53 |
"For we know that if our earthly house |
| 00:18:59 |
...we have a building of God. |
| 00:19:02 |
A house not made with hands, |
| 00:19:15 |
Oh, Almighty God... |
| 00:19:18 |
...grant that if it be thy will... |
| 00:19:22 |
...thou wilt still avert the threatening |
| 00:19:29 |
Keep her whom I love in |
| 00:19:34 |
And bring us all at last to |
| 00:21:03 |
"The Lord is my life. My salvation. |
| 00:21:09 |
The Lord is the strength in my life. |
| 00:21:15 |
When the wicked, even mine |
| 00:21:19 |
...came upon me to eat up my flesh, |
| 00:21:25 |
Though unhost should encamp against |
| 00:21:32 |
The wall should rise up against me. |
| 00:21:36 |
In this will I be comforted." |
| 00:22:40 |
Secession is inexcusable. Southerners |
| 00:22:47 |
Slavery will eventually die |
| 00:22:52 |
But the breakup of the Union |
| 00:22:55 |
...of a hundred generations in America... |
| 00:22:59 |
...only to repeat the bloody |
| 00:23:06 |
As a Christian man, |
| 00:23:10 |
Then to my state, the state of Virginia. |
| 00:23:14 |
Every state has a primal claim |
| 00:23:17 |
...and they justly control |
| 00:23:20 |
If Virginia adheres |
| 00:23:24 |
Her determination must control mine. |
| 00:23:31 |
And though I love the Union, |
| 00:23:39 |
Private Jenkins, |
| 00:23:42 |
...with which I hold your father, |
| 00:23:46 |
You may return to his new home |
| 00:23:50 |
It is your decision. |
| 00:23:57 |
...you may never again leave. If you do, |
| 00:24:14 |
Colonel Jackson, sir. Father. |
| 00:24:21 |
I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia. |
| 00:24:25 |
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay. |
| 00:24:30 |
And if needs be, die. |
| 00:24:39 |
- Then I will take my leave. |
| 00:24:45 |
It is I who will leave the two of you to |
| 00:24:49 |
You may have this room as |
| 00:24:52 |
Thank you. |
| 00:24:56 |
Farewell, colonel. |
| 00:25:02 |
May we meet again in happier times. |
| 00:25:07 |
And if not in this troubled world |
| 00:25:14 |
In heaven. |
| 00:25:33 |
- Parade, rest! |
| 00:25:39 |
Men of the valley. |
| 00:25:45 |
Citizen soldiers. |
| 00:25:49 |
I am here at the order of General Robert |
| 00:25:55 |
On April 15 of this year |
| 00:25:59 |
...Simon Cameron, the secretary of war |
| 00:26:03 |
...sent a telegram to our governor to |
| 00:26:08 |
...to be sent to assist in suppressing |
| 00:26:12 |
Governor Letcher's answer is well |
| 00:26:17 |
His wire to Washington stated: |
| 00:26:21 |
"You have chosen to inaugurate civil war. |
| 00:26:25 |
Having done so, we will meet you |
| 00:26:28 |
...as the Lincoln administration |
| 00:26:33 |
Two days later the Virginia legislature |
| 00:26:40 |
Just as we would not send any of our |
| 00:26:45 |
...and tyrannize other people... |
| 00:26:48 |
...so will we never allow the armies |
| 00:26:53 |
...and tyrannize our people. |
| 00:26:56 |
Like many of you, indeed most of you, |
| 00:27:02 |
It is not with joy or with a light heart |
| 00:27:08 |
Had our neighbors to the North practiced |
| 00:27:12 |
...this day might not have come. |
| 00:27:19 |
...like it was thrust upon our ancestors. |
| 00:27:23 |
The Lincoln administration required |
| 00:27:29 |
Tell them we have done so. |
| 00:27:35 |
Dismissed. |
| 00:27:40 |
Attention, company! |
| 00:27:51 |
- Good morning, sir. |
| 00:27:53 |
- How goes it with the artillery today? |
| 00:27:57 |
The men have decided |
| 00:28:00 |
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. |
| 00:28:03 |
I'm sure your men will spread the gospel |
| 00:28:09 |
Has my son proven a worthy adjutant? |
| 00:28:11 |
I'm certain Captain Pendleton will prove |
| 00:28:22 |
Thrust! Develop! Die! |
| 00:28:30 |
Captain White. |
| 00:28:32 |
How fare the scholars |
| 00:28:34 |
Are they making their transition |
| 00:28:37 |
A few more days of drill, and my boys |
| 00:28:42 |
Drill, Professor White, drill and drill. |
| 00:28:46 |
Caesar in Gaul. Napoleon in Iberia. |
| 00:28:50 |
We march by day, |
| 00:28:54 |
- We will be your Greek phalanx. |
| 00:28:58 |
The bayonet must be for a Virginian |
| 00:29:02 |
If the Yankees dare set foot in Virginia, |
| 00:29:07 |
Train with the bayonet |
| 00:29:10 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:29:16 |
Blue, gray, green, even red uniforms. |
| 00:29:22 |
You dang fool, you just shoot |
| 00:29:29 |
I thought we was gonna be trained. |
| 00:29:31 |
I could of done this walking |
| 00:29:35 |
I never seen you walk in your life when |
| 00:29:40 |
What man in his senses |
| 00:29:43 |
...when he could just be |
| 00:29:46 |
I done more walking this week than in |
| 00:29:52 |
Who'll give us fresh shoes when these |
| 00:30:03 |
You'll excuse me, gentlemen. |
| 00:30:14 |
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart |
| 00:30:16 |
Colonel Stuart. |
| 00:30:18 |
- That's an impeccable hat, sir. |
| 00:30:23 |
- Colonel Stuart. You use tobacco? |
| 00:30:29 |
Neither do I. I find I like it too much. |
| 00:30:33 |
Sit down. |
| 00:30:37 |
I understand from your record that |
| 00:30:40 |
Served since in the cavalry, |
| 00:30:43 |
Operations against Apache, |
| 00:30:48 |
Fought with Longstreet and Ewell, sir. |
| 00:30:52 |
Nasty business. Merciless climate. |
| 00:30:56 |
Glad to be home, sir. |
| 00:30:59 |
The Apache were defending their |
| 00:31:03 |
If we fight as well as the Apache, |
| 00:31:08 |
Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we |
| 00:31:13 |
No more than the redskins showed your |
| 00:31:18 |
If the North triumphs, it is not alone |
| 00:31:23 |
It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity... |
| 00:31:25 |
...the loss of free |
| 00:31:28 |
It is the triumph of commerce. |
| 00:31:32 |
We should meet the invader on |
| 00:31:35 |
...and raise the black flag. No quarter to |
| 00:31:42 |
Our political leadership is too timid to |
| 00:31:47 |
They should look to the Bible. |
| 00:31:51 |
Only the black flag will bring the North |
| 00:31:58 |
Well, colonel. |
| 00:32:00 |
One way or the other, the South |
| 00:32:05 |
You'll be in charge of the cavalry |
| 00:32:09 |
Your experience and your zeal |
| 00:32:14 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 00:32:21 |
And, colonel... |
| 00:32:23 |
...know that I will tell my men always |
| 00:32:28 |
...but trot away. |
| 00:32:34 |
"Trot." |
| 00:32:42 |
The ratification vote for secession is in. |
| 00:32:46 |
Reporting from all the counties of |
| 00:32:56 |
And I'm proud to report that the vote |
| 00:33:00 |
...is 3130 in favor, 10 against! |
| 00:33:07 |
In my own Rockbridge County, only one |
| 00:33:12 |
It must have been the village idiot! |
| 00:33:49 |
Soldiers! Commanding |
| 00:33:53 |
"General Beauregard is being attacked |
| 00:33:57 |
...by overwhelming forces." |
| 00:33:59 |
We have been ordered to cross |
| 00:34:03 |
Every moment now is precious... |
| 00:34:05 |
...and the general hopes his soldiers |
| 00:34:10 |
Well, this march is a forced march |
| 00:34:55 |
You must get some rest, sir. |
| 00:34:59 |
I'll rest easier when Pendleton and |
| 00:35:07 |
They'll make better time tomorrow, sir. |
| 00:35:14 |
You'll trust me to wait for the guns, sir? |
| 00:35:21 |
Dr. McGuire. |
| 00:35:26 |
You're an excellent practitioner, |
| 00:35:50 |
No fires, no tents. |
| 00:35:56 |
You suppose the Virginia legislature was |
| 00:36:00 |
That's fine for now. |
| 00:36:03 |
You'll be humming a different tune when |
| 00:36:09 |
...or you need me to dig you |
| 00:36:12 |
So damn dark the bats |
| 00:36:16 |
Old Hickory's just getting us |
| 00:36:19 |
Old Hickory, Old Jack, Old Blue Light. |
| 00:36:22 |
How many names you got |
| 00:36:27 |
Them VMI boys come up |
| 00:36:30 |
They calls him "Tom Fool" when |
| 00:36:33 |
I'll be a fool if I listened |
| 00:36:38 |
Old Tom Fool. That name ought to |
| 00:36:47 |
That's it! Step lively! Two at a time! |
| 00:36:53 |
As quick as you can. |
| 00:36:58 |
One foot forward, then the other. |
| 00:37:05 |
Into the train. Do it lovely, |
| 00:37:12 |
- Colonel Jackson. |
| 00:37:15 |
- I understand you're a train man. |
| 00:37:19 |
Spent most of my life building lines, |
| 00:37:23 |
No use in leaving them in fine |
| 00:37:27 |
If you'll excuse me, sir. |
| 00:37:28 |
Got to move these men where they'll |
| 00:37:38 |
Now that's the finest dressed man |
| 00:37:42 |
In you go! Up and over! |
| 00:37:46 |
Through the brush and in the clover. |
| 00:37:49 |
Crowd on in. Move it over. |
| 00:38:24 |
Dear Lord: |
| 00:38:28 |
This is your day. |
| 00:38:31 |
And you have admonished us |
| 00:38:35 |
If it is your will that we fight this day... |
| 00:38:39 |
...then your will be done. |
| 00:38:42 |
I ask your protection over Anna... |
| 00:38:46 |
...your faithful servant, my loving wife. |
| 00:38:52 |
I ask you to shine your face down |
| 00:38:58 |
...and fill her heart with the conviction |
| 00:39:02 |
...by her husband. |
| 00:39:04 |
Dear Lord: |
| 00:39:07 |
You have called me to this place, |
| 00:39:10 |
...far from my home |
| 00:39:12 |
...but I know it is your will |
| 00:39:15 |
If it is your will that we fight today, |
| 00:39:21 |
It is your sword I will wield into battle. |
| 00:39:25 |
Your banner I will raise against those |
| 00:39:31 |
And if it is my time |
| 00:39:36 |
...then I come to you |
| 00:39:52 |
Amen. |
| 00:40:48 |
That's General Bee's brigade! |
| 00:41:00 |
Inform General Bee the |
| 00:41:03 |
Ask him, can he hold long enough |
| 00:41:05 |
Yes, sir! I'll ask him! |
| 00:41:08 |
They may not hold, gentlemen. |
| 00:41:11 |
- Mr. Smith. |
| 00:41:13 |
Instruct Imboden and Stanard to position |
| 00:41:17 |
I want the 4th and the 27th |
| 00:41:20 |
I want the 5th Regiment posted |
| 00:41:22 |
...the 2nd and 33rd to the left. |
| 00:41:37 |
Counter battery fire! |
| 00:41:40 |
Eight hundred yards! |
| 00:41:42 |
- Shell! Five-second fuse! |
| 00:41:59 |
Counter battery fire. 800 yards. |
| 00:42:04 |
Shell, five inch. Five-second fuse. |
| 00:42:14 |
Fire! |
| 00:42:28 |
General! Our line on Matthew's Hill |
| 00:42:33 |
Then we must give them the bayonet! |
| 00:42:35 |
1 st Brigade, move up to a position just |
| 00:42:49 |
Rally, men! Rally! |
| 00:42:52 |
Look! |
| 00:42:54 |
There is Jackson, |
| 00:42:57 |
Let us determine to die here today |
| 00:43:00 |
Rally behind the Virginians! |
| 00:43:18 |
Fix bayonets. |
| 00:43:21 |
- Fix bayonets! |
| 00:43:50 |
Fill in there...! |
| 00:43:58 |
Instruct the men to lay down! |
| 00:44:00 |
- Lie down, men! |
| 00:44:05 |
Second rank, kneel! |
| 00:44:27 |
They are coming, boys. |
| 00:44:29 |
Wait till they get close before you shoot. |
| 00:44:37 |
Hold your fire! |
| 00:44:43 |
Halt! |
| 00:44:48 |
Hold your fire! |
| 00:44:50 |
Ready! |
| 00:44:52 |
Aim! |
| 00:44:55 |
Fire! |
| 00:45:00 |
Fire! |
| 00:45:03 |
Fire! Reload! |
| 00:45:05 |
- Rise up! |
| 00:45:08 |
Rise up! |
| 00:45:13 |
Quickly, men! Quickly! |
| 00:45:17 |
Ready! |
| 00:45:19 |
Aim! |
| 00:45:23 |
Fire! |
| 00:45:27 |
Fire! |
| 00:45:35 |
Reload! Reload, men! |
| 00:45:39 |
Come on, boys! |
| 00:45:42 |
- Easy. We have no orders to advance! |
| 00:45:46 |
Steady, men. Steady! |
| 00:45:52 |
Damn it. |
| 00:45:53 |
Charge! |
| 00:46:02 |
It's Cummings' boys. |
| 00:46:06 |
- What are they doing? |
| 00:46:08 |
Good to have your dander up, |
| 00:46:36 |
About-face! About-face, men! |
| 00:46:42 |
For God's sakes, forward! |
| 00:46:57 |
General, sir, the day is going against us. |
| 00:47:01 |
If you think so, sir, you had better |
| 00:47:24 |
Rise up, rise up! |
| 00:47:27 |
Rise up, Virginia! |
| 00:47:29 |
Stand up, you men! |
| 00:47:32 |
We're gonna charge them. |
| 00:47:34 |
We're gonna drive them to Washington! |
| 00:47:40 |
1 st Brigade... |
| 00:47:43 |
...reserve your fire... |
| 00:47:45 |
...till they come within 50 yards... |
| 00:47:48 |
...then fire! |
| 00:47:50 |
And give them the bayonet! |
| 00:47:53 |
And when you charge... |
| 00:47:56 |
...yell like Furies! |
| 00:48:05 |
- Ready! Aim! |
| 00:48:11 |
- Fire! |
| 00:48:17 |
Charge bayonets! |
| 00:48:49 |
Charge! |
| 00:49:13 |
Press on! Press on! |
| 00:49:48 |
I surrender! I surrender! |
| 00:52:06 |
General? |
| 00:52:09 |
How is it you can keep so serene... |
| 00:52:14 |
...and stay so utterly insensible... |
| 00:52:20 |
...with a storm of shells and bullets |
| 00:52:24 |
Captain Smith... |
| 00:52:27 |
...my religious belief teaches me |
| 00:52:32 |
God has fixed the time for my death, |
| 00:52:37 |
...but to be always ready, |
| 00:52:41 |
That is the way all men should live. |
| 00:52:45 |
Then all men would be equally brave. |
| 00:53:00 |
Preliminary reports for the brigade, sir. |
| 00:53:06 |
Three hundred seventy-three |
| 00:53:10 |
And if I may ask, sir, how's your hand? |
| 00:53:14 |
Just a spent bullet. No more than |
| 00:53:19 |
I'm pleased with the part performed |
| 00:53:24 |
Through the blessing of God... |
| 00:53:28 |
...they met the thus far victorious enemy |
| 00:53:35 |
Good evening, gentlemen. |
| 00:53:38 |
Tomorrow's a new day. |
| 00:53:40 |
- Evening, general. |
| 00:53:42 |
Oh, Mr. Pendleton? |
| 00:53:44 |
Thank you for the report. |
| 00:53:49 |
I will never forget these men. |
| 00:53:57 |
We must never forget them. |
| 00:54:04 |
The universe itself is subject |
| 00:54:09 |
The super-abounding life lavished |
| 00:54:13 |
...is proof... |
| 00:54:16 |
...that the play of infinite freedom... |
| 00:54:19 |
...is here to help work out |
| 00:54:24 |
The nature |
| 00:54:29 |
...that freedom can only exist... |
| 00:54:34 |
...as part of law. |
| 00:54:39 |
Pardon me, Professor Chamberlain... |
| 00:54:42 |
...but how does the study of philosophy |
| 00:54:46 |
If freedom can only exist |
| 00:54:51 |
...how can we continue to tolerate slavery |
| 00:55:10 |
Lawrence, I know. |
| 00:55:14 |
How? |
| 00:55:17 |
I've noticed the way you've been looking |
| 00:55:37 |
Blue. |
| 00:55:39 |
Why blue uniforms? It should be red. |
| 00:55:43 |
- Like the English, the color of blood. |
| 00:55:48 |
Lawrence, my darling Lawrence. |
| 00:55:49 |
Do you remember when you were |
| 00:55:53 |
And you wrote me saying |
| 00:55:56 |
...was willing for you to take |
| 00:56:00 |
...and was ready to help you |
| 00:56:03 |
"Little wife." |
| 00:56:07 |
Your spirit is vaster than oceans. |
| 00:56:11 |
Then you wrote back. |
| 00:56:15 |
And I have never forgotten what you said. |
| 00:56:20 |
You said, "Well, dear, she is willing... |
| 00:56:23 |
...and she feels that you know better |
| 00:56:30 |
But now... |
| 00:56:33 |
...I never think I know better than you. |
| 00:56:38 |
I couldn't bear for you to feel that you |
| 00:56:42 |
...just because you're married. |
| 00:56:44 |
I always want to help you on |
| 00:56:51 |
But I had a dream about you, Lawrence. |
| 00:56:57 |
While you were away, |
| 00:57:02 |
I saw you in my dream. |
| 00:57:09 |
Some of the boys that we know. |
| 00:57:13 |
And there you were... |
| 00:57:17 |
...riding ahead of them |
| 00:57:21 |
Fanny, my love, I felt I had to go. |
| 00:57:26 |
I offered the governor my services, |
| 00:57:30 |
I thought he'd probably order me |
| 00:57:34 |
Speeches, administration. |
| 00:57:39 |
Lawrence... |
| 00:57:41 |
...I know you. When you do a thing, |
| 00:57:45 |
So? He gave you |
| 00:57:48 |
They need serving officers. |
| 00:57:59 |
Five new regiments are being formed now. |
| 00:58:02 |
Maine has already sent 15. |
| 00:58:06 |
Poor Lawrence, damn you, |
| 00:58:10 |
You'll be good at soldiering just like |
| 00:58:14 |
Go do your duty to your country's flag... |
| 00:58:16 |
...go on and get your medals for bravery, |
| 00:58:48 |
That poem of Lovelace. |
| 00:58:53 |
That beautiful, horrible, damnable, |
| 00:58:59 |
I think that you recited it in my dream. |
| 00:59:04 |
Lovelace. "Off to the English Civil War"? |
| 00:59:11 |
I would not dare presume to quote it now. |
| 00:59:24 |
Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind |
| 00:59:30 |
That from the nunnery |
| 00:59:34 |
To warlike arms I fly. |
| 00:59:38 |
True, a new mistress now I serve |
| 00:59:42 |
The first foe in the field |
| 00:59:45 |
And with a sterner faith embrace |
| 00:59:56 |
Yet this inconstancy is such |
| 01:00:00 |
As thou too shalt adore. |
| 01:00:05 |
I could not love thee, dear, so much |
| 01:00:14 |
Loved I not honor more. |
| 01:00:28 |
You will be wounded. |
| 01:00:33 |
You will be changed by the horrors of it. |
| 01:00:37 |
But you will come home. |
| 01:00:40 |
I believe that, my love. |
| 01:01:04 |
Come in. |
| 01:01:08 |
You must be Mr. Lewis. |
| 01:01:12 |
There's some that calls me Uncle Jim. |
| 01:01:15 |
Some calls me Big Jim. |
| 01:01:19 |
I don't suppose you've heard |
| 01:01:23 |
I heard Stonewall once. |
| 01:01:26 |
That name properly belongs to the |
| 01:01:30 |
- They were the ones who earned it. |
| 01:01:34 |
Folks say men can't fight without |
| 01:01:40 |
- I'm told you're a first-rate cook. |
| 01:01:45 |
They wasn't lying, told you that. |
| 01:01:49 |
Pan-fry, griddle, boil, bake. Roasted. |
| 01:01:55 |
And I understand you're |
| 01:01:57 |
You come highly recommended |
| 01:02:00 |
Lexington is my home, general. |
| 01:02:04 |
If I could do my share |
| 01:02:08 |
...I'd be doing the same as you. |
| 01:02:11 |
I heard it was Napoleon hisself said: |
| 01:02:15 |
"An army can't march |
| 01:02:22 |
Well... |
| 01:02:25 |
If you love your country... |
| 01:02:28 |
...fear the Lord... |
| 01:02:30 |
...and have no trouble getting up at |
| 01:02:38 |
Yous got yourself a deal, general. |
| 01:02:43 |
Sir. |
| 01:03:03 |
My darling esposita. |
| 01:03:10 |
Welcome to Winchester. |
| 01:03:12 |
Thomas. |
| 01:03:16 |
- Come in out of the cold. |
| 01:03:30 |
I have been thinking, Thomas... |
| 01:03:35 |
...that it may have been a blessing |
| 01:03:38 |
...was fought on my birthday. |
| 01:03:42 |
Why is that? |
| 01:03:45 |
In our old age, you will never forget it. |
| 01:03:55 |
I will forget my own |
| 01:04:04 |
Oh, Anna. |
| 01:04:06 |
Anna. |
| 01:04:09 |
What is it, Tom? |
| 01:04:12 |
What? |
| 01:04:19 |
Everything in this life seems so fragile. |
| 01:04:26 |
So temporary. |
| 01:04:31 |
When we are separated, I fear... |
| 01:04:36 |
...I will never see you again. |
| 01:04:40 |
I fear we may never have a child. |
| 01:04:46 |
I fear I may lose you |
| 01:04:51 |
I know I should trust in the Lord... |
| 01:04:55 |
...but then I see the face |
| 01:05:04 |
...of my first wife, dead and cold. |
| 01:05:09 |
With our dead daughter. |
| 01:05:12 |
Dead before she could draw |
| 01:05:18 |
And I am afraid. |
| 01:05:22 |
And I am afraid to feel happiness. |
| 01:05:28 |
Afraid to hope for it again. |
| 01:05:33 |
I am afraid of God's judgment. |
| 01:05:38 |
We serve a loving God, Thomas. |
| 01:05:44 |
We are in each other's arms. |
| 01:05:49 |
We are together, |
| 01:05:53 |
And is our love not proof of his? |
| 01:05:59 |
We must not fear, Thomas. |
| 01:06:03 |
We will survive this war. |
| 01:06:07 |
And we will have a child. |
| 01:06:11 |
So help us, God. |
| 01:06:37 |
This is a hell of a regiment. |
| 01:06:40 |
Men of the 20th Maine Regiment |
| 01:06:44 |
...this is your commanding officer, |
| 01:06:49 |
Quiet! Quiet! |
| 01:06:51 |
You do not cheer an officer. |
| 01:06:55 |
You salute him. |
| 01:06:57 |
20th Maine, I commend you |
| 01:07:00 |
...that has made you volunteer |
| 01:07:04 |
I can see that many of you |
| 01:07:07 |
We Maine men know that |
| 01:07:11 |
...toughens the muscles |
| 01:07:14 |
I've no doubt many of you |
| 01:07:18 |
But tough muscles and skillful shooting |
| 01:07:23 |
That requires discipline. |
| 01:07:26 |
Major Gilmore tells me you are in the habit |
| 01:07:30 |
That will cease from now. |
| 01:07:33 |
An officer's orders are to be obeyed |
| 01:07:40 |
This regiment must learn |
| 01:07:44 |
Otherwise we will all be killed. |
| 01:07:54 |
Sergeant Tom Chamberlain |
| 01:07:56 |
Tom, what on earth...? |
| 01:07:59 |
I signed up, Lawrence, I'm in this |
| 01:08:02 |
Did Father approve? |
| 01:08:05 |
Once he heard you were colonel, |
| 01:08:08 |
Besides, you know him, |
| 01:08:11 |
I'm giving them one less thing to cuss at. |
| 01:08:14 |
Mama said so many prayers for the both |
| 01:08:19 |
Well, I guess I have one more |
| 01:08:23 |
Me? |
| 01:08:24 |
Lawrence, Mama told me |
| 01:08:43 |
Line of battle consists of two lines |
| 01:08:46 |
...so that while one line fires, |
| 01:08:49 |
Behind them is a line of file closers. |
| 01:08:55 |
But two lines make a regiment |
| 01:08:57 |
...so we need to switch |
| 01:09:00 |
We need to be able to change from |
| 01:09:04 |
...and back again quickly. |
| 01:09:05 |
It is not difficult to move from line |
| 01:09:09 |
It is harder to move from |
| 01:09:12 |
...and if we're called to make that move, |
| 01:09:16 |
You understand how important it is that |
| 01:09:21 |
...that the men can perform them |
| 01:09:34 |
Company... |
| 01:09:37 |
...halt! |
| 01:09:40 |
Company, front! |
| 01:09:47 |
Order arms! |
| 01:09:59 |
Well done, colonel. That's a beginning. |
| 01:10:02 |
But that move must be practiced |
| 01:10:06 |
Another month and we'll be ready. |
| 01:10:08 |
But we leave for Washington tomorrow. |
| 01:10:16 |
Shoulder arms! |
| 01:10:22 |
Company, forward march! |
| 01:10:47 |
Morning to you, sir. |
| 01:10:50 |
- Said you might be needing a drop of this. |
| 01:10:54 |
Kilrain, sir. Sergeant Kilrain. |
| 01:11:01 |
You know, colonel... |
| 01:11:03 |
...the boys... |
| 01:11:05 |
We've been watching you, sir, |
| 01:11:08 |
You've learned fast. |
| 01:11:12 |
Yes, well... |
| 01:11:14 |
Are you a veteran, sergeant? |
| 01:11:16 |
Aye, sir. I suppose you could say that. |
| 01:11:19 |
Did me duty in the regular Army |
| 01:11:22 |
Did the great long walk |
| 01:11:24 |
...down south of the Rio Grande. |
| 01:11:28 |
Some men you fought with are on the |
| 01:11:32 |
Oh, it gets worse than generals, colonel. |
| 01:11:36 |
Some of the lads that I left Ireland with |
| 01:11:41 |
We left together to escape a tyranny... |
| 01:11:44 |
...and end up shooting at one another |
| 01:11:52 |
I, too, have friends |
| 01:11:56 |
And enemies. |
| 01:11:58 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:12:00 |
No shortage of enemies, that's for sure. |
| 01:12:12 |
Forward! |
| 01:12:15 |
Rest! |
| 01:12:23 |
Throughout the broad extent |
| 01:12:27 |
...through which you have marched... |
| 01:12:30 |
...by your respect for the rights |
| 01:12:35 |
...you have always shown you are soldiers, |
| 01:12:40 |
...but able and willing |
| 01:12:44 |
You've already won... |
| 01:12:47 |
...a brilliant reputation throughout |
| 01:12:51 |
And I trust in the future |
| 01:12:56 |
...and by the assistance of the same kind |
| 01:13:01 |
...you will win more victories and add |
| 01:13:08 |
You already gained a proud position... |
| 01:13:12 |
...in the future history of this... |
| 01:13:16 |
...our second war of independence. |
| 01:13:22 |
I shall look with anxiety |
| 01:13:27 |
...and I trust whenever I shall hear |
| 01:13:31 |
...on the field of battle... |
| 01:13:33 |
...it will be of still nobler deeds achieved |
| 01:13:44 |
In the Army of the Shenandoah, |
| 01:13:50 |
In the Army of the Potomac, |
| 01:13:54 |
In the 2nd Corps of this Army, |
| 01:13:59 |
You are the 1 st Brigade |
| 01:14:05 |
And I hope by your future deeds |
| 01:14:07 |
...you will be handed down |
| 01:14:10 |
...as the 1 st Brigade... |
| 01:14:13 |
...in this, our second war of independence. |
| 01:14:22 |
Godspeed! |
| 01:14:31 |
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! |
| 01:14:35 |
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! |
| 01:14:51 |
Gentlemen. |
| 01:14:54 |
Excuse us, General Burnside... |
| 01:14:55 |
...General Hancock has information |
| 01:14:59 |
Yes, General Hancock, a pleasure. |
| 01:15:03 |
We have visitors. |
| 01:15:04 |
Sir, General Hancock reports the river |
| 01:15:09 |
There'll be no difficulty crossing. With |
| 01:15:14 |
General Hancock, I appreciate your efforts |
| 01:15:18 |
...but this possibility has been |
| 01:15:22 |
The pontoons will be here any time. |
| 01:15:24 |
We'll cross with not only the men |
| 01:15:27 |
It would be foolhardy to send the men |
| 01:15:31 |
Excuse me, am I correct |
| 01:15:34 |
...that there's little force opposing us |
| 01:15:37 |
Yes, you're absolutely correct. |
| 01:15:39 |
For once we seem to have caught |
| 01:15:42 |
Then, sir, if I may suggest, |
| 01:15:48 |
Certainly he's aware of our intentions. If |
| 01:15:52 |
...it would make our job much easier |
| 01:15:56 |
Yes, but that's risky. Those men |
| 01:16:00 |
It snows one day, melts the next. |
| 01:16:04 |
It will be best, I assure you, if we wait |
| 01:16:09 |
General Burnside, if we don't cross |
| 01:16:12 |
...General Lee will make every effort |
| 01:16:15 |
He will not let us move |
| 01:16:18 |
Where are General Jackson's forces now? |
| 01:16:20 |
Shouldn't we attempt to occupy |
| 01:16:23 |
...and possibly the Heights beyond now, |
| 01:16:28 |
Please allow me, sir... |
| 01:16:31 |
...to at least send General Hancock's |
| 01:16:34 |
Surely they can carry |
| 01:16:37 |
...and the artillery from this side can |
| 01:16:44 |
Gentlemen, we will cross this river |
| 01:16:50 |
I do not have the luxury of deviating |
| 01:16:54 |
The president approved my strategy, |
| 01:16:58 |
Once this Army is across the river, |
| 01:17:05 |
We must not allow him... |
| 01:17:07 |
...the luxury of attacking us as divided and |
| 01:17:12 |
And I will not make the same mistake |
| 01:17:15 |
So no, General Hancock. |
| 01:17:19 |
You will stay on this side |
| 01:17:22 |
...and the entire Army crosses together. |
| 01:17:26 |
An irresistible, impregnable force. |
| 01:17:38 |
Did you know George Washington |
| 01:17:42 |
And across that river, he's supposed |
| 01:17:46 |
...and cut down that cherry tree. |
| 01:17:49 |
That may be so, Mr. Taylor, but it has |
| 01:17:54 |
It's where I met my wife. |
| 01:17:57 |
That's something these Yankees |
| 01:18:01 |
You see these rivers and valleys |
| 01:18:05 |
...and fields, even towns? |
| 01:18:08 |
They're just markings on a map to those |
| 01:18:13 |
But to us, my goodness, they're |
| 01:18:18 |
They're battlefields |
| 01:18:21 |
...places where you and I learned |
| 01:18:25 |
Places where we made friendships |
| 01:18:32 |
And they're the incarnation |
| 01:18:38 |
...and all that we are. |
| 01:18:42 |
All that we are. |
| 01:19:19 |
- What place is this? |
| 01:19:21 |
We're another two hours or so |
| 01:19:25 |
We'll rest here for a short time. |
| 01:19:28 |
Yes, sir. I'll see what |
| 01:19:40 |
The general be fixing to eat |
| 01:19:44 |
No, no, Jim. |
| 01:19:46 |
We gotta ride on straight |
| 01:19:49 |
Don't want to get all warmed up |
| 01:19:55 |
You never seem to mind the cold much. |
| 01:19:58 |
I minds it. I just don't shows it. |
| 01:20:04 |
Now, Little Sorrel, I know |
| 01:20:07 |
...but it sure beats no corn at all. |
| 01:20:18 |
You heard from your family lately? |
| 01:20:22 |
Ain't heared much for some time. |
| 01:20:26 |
Yankee mail used to move |
| 01:20:34 |
Lord, from where you sit |
| 01:20:40 |
...that separates our Southern men |
| 01:20:44 |
We pray that you watch over our families. |
| 01:20:49 |
Lord, I ask you to watch over |
| 01:20:53 |
...over his friends, his loved ones, |
| 01:20:57 |
Lord, I know you sees |
| 01:21:02 |
...just like you sees into the heart |
| 01:21:07 |
And, Lord, I know there's |
| 01:21:12 |
...can hide from you. |
| 01:21:15 |
You find the truth... |
| 01:21:16 |
...in the bottom of the deepest pit |
| 01:21:23 |
There be no hiding from your truth |
| 01:21:29 |
Amen. |
| 01:21:31 |
How is it, Lord? |
| 01:21:33 |
Can you explain something |
| 01:21:38 |
How is it a good Christian man... |
| 01:21:43 |
...like some folks I know... |
| 01:21:45 |
...can tolerate their black brothers |
| 01:21:50 |
How is it, Lord, they don't just... |
| 01:21:54 |
...break them chains? |
| 01:21:58 |
How is it, Lord? |
| 01:22:01 |
My heart is open and aching. |
| 01:22:06 |
And I wants to know. |
| 01:22:13 |
Lord, speak to us. |
| 01:22:15 |
Speak to your children. |
| 01:22:17 |
Speak to Jim Lewis and Thomas Jackson, |
| 01:22:23 |
Speak to all of us. |
| 01:22:26 |
Our hearts are open. |
| 01:22:29 |
Lord, you show us the way, |
| 01:22:37 |
Amen. |
| 01:22:40 |
Amen. |
| 01:22:54 |
- Jim? |
| 01:22:58 |
What is the status of your family? |
| 01:23:01 |
About half is free, half slave. |
| 01:23:04 |
That's counting all the cousins and such. |
| 01:23:09 |
You must know that there are |
| 01:23:12 |
...who are of the opinion that... |
| 01:23:15 |
...we should be enlisting Negroes |
| 01:23:19 |
General Lee is among them. |
| 01:23:22 |
That's what they says around the camp. |
| 01:23:24 |
Your people will be free, |
| 01:23:29 |
The question is, |
| 01:23:32 |
...the good sense to do it first and soon. |
| 01:23:36 |
And in so doing seal a bond |
| 01:23:43 |
That's what they says, general. |
| 01:23:47 |
God's plan is a great mystery. |
| 01:23:51 |
It will be revealed to us. |
| 01:24:03 |
That's all the fodder you get tonight. |
| 01:24:06 |
We's going to a country where there's |
| 01:24:11 |
...than there is what's in the palm |
| 01:24:28 |
General Lee, fine day, sir. |
| 01:24:30 |
We got batteries all along that hill, |
| 01:24:34 |
Strong anchor on the north. |
| 01:24:36 |
Tomorrow, guns will be positioned |
| 01:24:39 |
We'll be able to cover the entire |
| 01:24:43 |
General, they gonna come at us here? |
| 01:24:48 |
Colonel Alexander... |
| 01:24:51 |
...Federal troops amassed across that river |
| 01:24:55 |
If I were General Burnside, |
| 01:24:58 |
I'd move back upstream, |
| 01:25:01 |
Burnside is not a man |
| 01:25:04 |
He's being pushed from behind |
| 01:25:07 |
...by newspapers |
| 01:25:11 |
But we're here, |
| 01:25:15 |
We got batteries pointing from all angles. |
| 01:25:17 |
They cross that canal, |
| 01:25:20 |
We shall hit them from all sides. |
| 01:25:23 |
No, sir, a chicken couldn't live |
| 01:25:27 |
General Hood, I've often wondered |
| 01:25:30 |
...Texas men, |
| 01:25:33 |
...in this Army of irascibles... |
| 01:25:35 |
...have agreed to serve under |
| 01:25:38 |
I have often wondered the same. |
| 01:25:42 |
General Gregg, have you settled your |
| 01:25:48 |
No, General Hill, I have not. |
| 01:25:51 |
Have you? |
| 01:25:55 |
No, sir. |
| 01:26:00 |
Tell me, general... |
| 01:26:03 |
...do you expect to live |
| 01:26:09 |
I do not know... |
| 01:26:13 |
...but I'm inclined to think I will. |
| 01:26:16 |
I expect I will be wounded. |
| 01:26:20 |
And you, general? |
| 01:26:23 |
I do not expect to live to see |
| 01:26:28 |
Nor can I say that without victory |
| 01:26:37 |
- Get up. |
| 01:26:48 |
Sir? |
| 01:26:51 |
Yes, Mr. Pendleton, you may enter. |
| 01:26:55 |
Forgive me, general. |
| 01:26:58 |
Courier was running a little slow today, |
| 01:27:05 |
Yes, thank you. |
| 01:27:08 |
Good night, sir. |
| 01:27:46 |
My own dear father: |
| 01:27:49 |
As my mother's letter |
| 01:27:53 |
...I think it but justice |
| 01:27:57 |
I know that you are rejoiced |
| 01:28:00 |
And I hope that God has sent me |
| 01:28:06 |
I am a very tiny little thing. |
| 01:28:09 |
I weigh only eight and a half pounds... |
| 01:28:11 |
...and Aunt Harriet says I am |
| 01:28:17 |
My mother is very comfortable |
| 01:28:21 |
Your loving daughter. |
| 01:28:32 |
Thank you, Lord. |
| 01:28:35 |
Thank you. |
| 01:28:37 |
Thank you, thank you. |
| 01:28:40 |
They've occupied all the buildings |
| 01:28:43 |
We will be lining up those pontoon |
| 01:28:48 |
Once across, the Rebs are sure |
| 01:28:52 |
Beyond the town is the canal |
| 01:28:55 |
...a field we'll have to cross to reach |
| 01:29:00 |
...another difficult obstacle |
| 01:29:04 |
Down to our left we could burst through... |
| 01:29:06 |
...turn Jackson's lines, push him back, |
| 01:29:12 |
...surround him. |
| 01:29:16 |
It's possible. |
| 01:29:19 |
Turn Jackson's lines? |
| 01:29:22 |
No, general, we'll meet them head on. |
| 01:29:25 |
And it will be a bloody mess. |
| 01:29:28 |
We'll march up to that hill there... |
| 01:29:30 |
...and we'll eat their artillery fire |
| 01:29:43 |
We'll be able to look |
| 01:29:46 |
"We're good soldiers. |
| 01:29:49 |
If we're not successful, we can say it was |
| 01:29:54 |
You can go back to your hometown... |
| 01:29:56 |
...and tell the families of your men |
| 01:30:01 |
The Rebs have fortified |
| 01:30:04 |
And anyway, there are strong currents |
| 01:30:09 |
Below Fredericksburg the river is too wide. |
| 01:30:11 |
And our earliest forces are |
| 01:30:15 |
Fredericksburg is now |
| 01:30:19 |
If Burnside doesn't cross here, |
| 01:30:27 |
That wily gray fox has outmaneuvered |
| 01:30:32 |
And there's going to be hell to pay. |
| 01:31:04 |
Hurry up! Let's go! |
| 01:31:08 |
Pick your targets, boys! |
| 01:31:10 |
And firing! |
| 01:31:54 |
Them Yankees is coming, sure as Jesus. |
| 01:31:59 |
We got to get you and them children |
| 01:32:01 |
Stop fussing with me. Get your family |
| 01:32:05 |
Miss Jane, us done talked this over, |
| 01:32:09 |
...and look after the house. |
| 01:32:12 |
Martha, I won't leave you to the mercy |
| 01:32:15 |
Miss Jane, you know they ain't gonna be |
| 01:32:19 |
If we go with you... |
| 01:32:20 |
...there won't be any food left |
| 01:32:23 |
And we need to eat, same as you. |
| 01:32:29 |
- Pastor Lacy, we must run to our lines. |
| 01:32:32 |
The streets are raining iron. |
| 01:32:52 |
Anybody hurt? |
| 01:32:54 |
Sam? |
| 01:32:59 |
Easy. |
| 01:33:04 |
Sam! |
| 01:33:06 |
Can you get up? Easy! Easy! |
| 01:33:49 |
Mother? Are you here? |
| 01:33:50 |
Oh, praise be! It's young John! |
| 01:33:53 |
- We're down here in the cellar! |
| 01:33:57 |
I'll go around to the side! |
| 01:34:04 |
Children, y'all stay right here. |
| 01:34:09 |
Come out! |
| 01:34:11 |
The enemy is crossing the river. Hurry! |
| 01:34:34 |
- No! Martha, I won't leave without you. |
| 01:34:39 |
Off with you then. |
| 01:34:43 |
Come on, Martha. |
| 01:34:46 |
Stay in the basement! |
| 01:36:55 |
Get the bayonets! |
| 01:37:41 |
May God be with them. |
| 01:37:43 |
May he strengthen their hearts |
| 01:37:48 |
Give them the victory. |
| 01:38:05 |
Can I be of service |
| 01:38:09 |
Is this your master's place? |
| 01:38:12 |
This is my place. |
| 01:38:17 |
Children! |
| 01:38:26 |
Sorry to have to bother you, ma'am. |
| 01:38:28 |
Come on, let's go. |
| 01:38:32 |
Go back inside. Hurry up. |
| 01:38:41 |
Put a stop to this at once! |
| 01:38:45 |
Drop that, soldier. Now! |
| 01:38:50 |
Get a message to Couch, to Hancock. |
| 01:38:53 |
This will not be tolerated! |
| 01:39:13 |
General Longstreet, show us |
| 01:39:17 |
Yes, sir. We're anchored on the north |
| 01:39:22 |
...up on the bend in the river |
| 01:39:25 |
...along and below the ridge |
| 01:39:29 |
...with Cobb's brigade dug in down |
| 01:39:34 |
Now, to their right, is General McLaws... |
| 01:39:37 |
...and further down in the woods |
| 01:39:42 |
General Hood is my right flank. |
| 01:39:45 |
He's connected in those heavy trees |
| 01:39:50 |
Up here on the Heights, |
| 01:39:53 |
...Colonel Alexander's batteries |
| 01:39:56 |
It's a strong line, general. |
| 01:39:59 |
Very well. |
| 01:40:00 |
General Jackson, would you please extend |
| 01:40:04 |
General A.P. Hill is on the left, |
| 01:40:09 |
Position is supported by General Taliaferro |
| 01:40:12 |
Now to the right flank and behind |
| 01:40:16 |
We've built a road behind our lines |
| 01:40:19 |
We can move troops as is necessary. |
| 01:40:22 |
If the enemy penetrates our lines |
| 01:40:26 |
...the reserves, Taliaferro and Early, |
| 01:40:30 |
If the enemy attempts to cut our center... |
| 01:40:32 |
...or if General Pickett is pressed, |
| 01:40:36 |
Good, very good. |
| 01:40:38 |
General Stuart, are you in a strong position |
| 01:40:42 |
...General Jackson's flank? |
| 01:40:44 |
Oh, yes, sir. |
| 01:40:45 |
We're covering the enemy from the river, |
| 01:40:49 |
If the Yankees move down river or |
| 01:40:54 |
...we can block their advance |
| 01:40:57 |
Very well. Gentlemen, |
| 01:41:04 |
The rest is in God's hands. |
| 01:41:06 |
- Amen. |
| 01:41:16 |
In the Roman civil war... |
| 01:41:19 |
...Julius Caesar knew he had |
| 01:41:22 |
...which no legion was permitted to do. |
| 01:41:25 |
Marcus Lucanus left us a chronicle |
| 01:41:32 |
How swiftly Caesar had surmounted |
| 01:41:35 |
...and in his mind conceived |
| 01:41:40 |
When he reached the little Rubicon, |
| 01:41:45 |
...appeared a mighty image |
| 01:41:49 |
...grief in her face... |
| 01:41:52 |
...her white hair streaming |
| 01:41:56 |
With tresses torn and shoulders bare, |
| 01:42:02 |
"Where further do you march? Where |
| 01:42:07 |
If lawfully you come, if as citizens, |
| 01:42:14 |
Trembling struck his limbs. |
| 01:42:16 |
And weakness checked his progress, |
| 01:42:21 |
At last he speaks. |
| 01:42:22 |
Oh, thunderer... |
| 01:42:25 |
...surveying great Rome's walls |
| 01:42:30 |
Oh, Phrygian, house gods of lulus... |
| 01:42:32 |
...clan and mysteries of Quirinus |
| 01:42:36 |
Oh, Jupiter of Latium, seated |
| 01:42:41 |
Oh, Rome, equal to the highest deity, |
| 01:42:47 |
Not with impious weapons |
| 01:42:51 |
Here am I, Caesar... |
| 01:42:53 |
...conqueror of land and sea, |
| 01:42:57 |
...now too if I am permitted. |
| 01:43:01 |
The man who makes me your enemy, |
| 01:43:08 |
He broke the barriers of war |
| 01:43:11 |
...swiftly took his standards. |
| 01:43:15 |
When Caesar crossed the flood |
| 01:43:19 |
...from Hesperia 's forbidden fields, |
| 01:43:24 |
"Here, I abandoned peace |
| 01:43:28 |
Fortune, it is you I follow. |
| 01:43:31 |
Farewell to treaties. |
| 01:43:44 |
Hail Caesar. |
| 01:43:47 |
We who are about to die salute you. |
| 01:44:13 |
General Zook! |
| 01:44:15 |
Move your brigade forward! |
| 01:44:17 |
Left wing, forward march! |
| 01:45:08 |
Steady, boys, steady. |
| 01:45:12 |
Is that to be |
| 01:45:14 |
He's enjoying the privilege of an officer. |
| 01:45:18 |
He's got a lame knee, for pity's sake. |
| 01:45:20 |
Fair enough. |
| 01:45:23 |
Quiet in the ranks! |
| 01:45:25 |
Shoulder arms! |
| 01:46:04 |
Colonel. |
| 01:46:06 |
20th Maine to the front. |
| 01:46:11 |
Battalion! Shoulder arms! |
| 01:46:15 |
Shoulder arms! |
| 01:46:17 |
Left face! |
| 01:46:22 |
High-file right... |
| 01:46:24 |
...march! |
| 01:46:38 |
Come on, boys! Show them the cold steel! |
| 01:46:43 |
Irish brigade, at the double-quick... |
| 01:46:47 |
...forward march! |
| 01:46:52 |
Front and center! |
| 01:47:02 |
Double column, boys! Form up! |
| 01:47:10 |
Forward! |
| 01:47:30 |
Keep moving! |
| 01:47:35 |
That's the Irish. What are those boys |
| 01:47:39 |
Don't they know we're fighting |
| 01:47:42 |
Did they learn nothing |
| 01:47:45 |
They're Reb Irishmen. |
| 01:47:49 |
They've been misled to their fates. |
| 01:48:02 |
Do your duty! |
| 01:48:17 |
Steady, men! Steady! |
| 01:48:37 |
Men, do your duty! |
| 01:48:45 |
Battalion, halt! |
| 01:48:53 |
Ready! |
| 01:48:55 |
Aim! |
| 01:48:57 |
Fire! |
| 01:49:13 |
Load them up, boys, load them up! |
| 01:49:20 |
Ready! |
| 01:49:24 |
Aim! |
| 01:49:25 |
Fire! |
| 01:49:29 |
Load! Load! Load! |
| 01:49:38 |
Ready! |
| 01:49:39 |
Aim! |
| 01:49:41 |
Fire! |
| 01:50:03 |
Fall back! Fall back, men! |
| 01:50:06 |
Now move! Move! |
| 01:50:14 |
Go to hell! Go to hell and damnation! |
| 01:50:17 |
Move, boys! |
| 01:50:23 |
Lie down here! |
| 01:50:26 |
Lie down and load! |
| 01:50:38 |
Lie down and load! |
| 01:50:41 |
Load! |
| 01:50:46 |
Load and fire! |
| 01:50:48 |
Quickly! |
| 01:50:51 |
Blaze away, lads! |
| 01:50:58 |
Fire, boys. |
| 01:51:08 |
Keep firing, men! Keep firing! |
| 01:51:21 |
Fall back! |
| 01:51:23 |
Fall back, lads! |
| 01:51:25 |
Every man for himself! |
| 01:51:35 |
Fall back, men! |
| 01:52:26 |
- Caldwell's brigade, forward! Now! |
| 01:52:29 |
At the double-quick! March! |
| 01:52:46 |
- General Armistead. |
| 01:52:50 |
See that last charge |
| 01:52:53 |
Those fellas deserved a better fate. |
| 01:52:55 |
Their bravery is worthy of a better cause. |
| 01:53:00 |
My heart stood still as I watched it. |
| 01:53:02 |
I would not have believed |
| 01:53:04 |
...could march into the face |
| 01:53:10 |
General Longstreet... |
| 01:53:13 |
...those people committing more |
| 01:53:16 |
...their mounting numbers |
| 01:53:21 |
Sir, if they put every man they have |
| 01:53:26 |
...give me plenty of ammunition, I'll |
| 01:53:31 |
Nevertheless, |
| 01:53:33 |
We must never ignore the unknown |
| 01:53:38 |
Yes, sir. I'll take the necessary measures. |
| 01:53:43 |
Send orders to Ransom's Tar Heels |
| 01:53:47 |
...and to Kershaw to bring up his brigade |
| 01:53:51 |
Yes, sir! |
| 01:54:15 |
Forward, men! |
| 01:54:40 |
Load! Five-second fuse! |
| 01:54:54 |
She burst! The barrel burst! |
| 01:54:57 |
- Stretcher! |
| 01:55:00 |
- Sergeant! Call for the surgeon! Quickly! |
| 01:55:14 |
It's not yet our time, gentlemen. |
| 01:55:18 |
Not yet our time. |
| 01:55:33 |
Brigade, halt! Form by battalion! |
| 01:55:36 |
Pass them forward. |
| 01:56:05 |
20th Maine... |
| 01:56:07 |
...halt! |
| 01:56:14 |
It is not difficult to move from |
| 01:56:18 |
It is much harder to move from |
| 01:56:21 |
...and if we're called to make that move, |
| 01:56:25 |
You understand how important it is that |
| 01:56:30 |
...that the men can perform them |
| 01:57:02 |
Seems a terrible long distance up that hill. |
| 01:57:06 |
It'll be shortened by those in the front. |
| 01:57:09 |
Begging your pardon, sir. |
| 01:57:10 |
The only thing that'll be shortened |
| 01:57:16 |
God help us now. |
| 01:57:20 |
- Colonel, take care of the right wing. |
| 01:57:35 |
Hail Caesar. |
| 01:57:37 |
We who are about to die salute you. |
| 01:57:49 |
20th Maine! |
| 01:57:56 |
- Forward! |
| 01:57:59 |
- March! |
| 01:58:02 |
By the right of companies, |
| 01:58:06 |
Right of companies to the front! March! |
| 01:58:17 |
Form a line, boys! Form a line! |
| 01:58:20 |
Form up a line! Form up a line! |

Dress to the colors! |
| 01:58:57 |
Come on, boys. |
| 01:59:29 |
Dress to the colors! |
| 01:59:49 |
Keep your line, men. Keep your line. |
| 02:00:36 |
At the double-quick, men! |
| 02:00:44 |
Double-quick, boys! Come on, boys! |
| 02:00:53 |
Keep it tight, boys! Keep it tight! |

Come on, boys! |
| 02:01:14 |
At the double-quick, boys! Come on, boys! |
| 02:01:19 |
Forward, men. Keep moving! |
| 02:01:51 |
Battalion, halt! |
| 02:01:52 |
- Battalion, halt! |
| 02:01:56 |
Watch your line! |
| 02:01:58 |
Dress to the colors! |
| 02:02:02 |
Ready! Fire! |
| 02:02:07 |
- Reload, boys! Reload quickly! |
| 02:02:18 |
Keep firing! Keep firing! |
| 02:02:22 |
Battalion, fight by fire! |
| 02:02:26 |
Thattaway, boys, fire away! |
| 02:02:28 |
Pour it into them! |
| 02:02:33 |
Close the gap, boys! |
| 02:02:36 |
Fill this hole now! |
| 02:02:51 |
Steady now! Pour it into them! |
| 02:02:54 |
- Sir? |
| 02:02:56 |
Request permission to return |
| 02:03:03 |
Permission granted. Permission granted. |
| 02:03:17 |
No, no, Patrick, me boy. |
| 02:03:38 |
Pour it into them, boys! |
| 02:03:43 |
Fill that line in! |
| 02:03:46 |
Fill this hole now! |
| 02:03:51 |
Dress to the right! |
| 02:03:55 |
Fire! |
| 02:03:59 |
Pour it into them, boys! |
| 02:04:02 |
Fire! |
| 02:04:10 |
- Fall back, men! |
| 02:04:12 |
Fall back, boys! |
| 02:05:02 |
- What did you do that for? |
| 02:05:31 |
Oh, Mother. Oh, Mother, help me... |
| 02:05:33 |
It's all right, Casey, I got you. Don't |
| 02:05:49 |
Quickly, men. Reload quickly! |
| 02:06:29 |
It is well that war is so terrible... |
| 02:06:34 |
...for we should grow too fond of it. |
| 02:06:51 |
Yes, sir? |
| 02:06:52 |
We're requisitioning your house |
| 02:06:58 |
Come on inside out the cold. |
| 02:07:23 |
You there. |
| 02:07:25 |
You wounded? |
| 02:07:30 |
Truly sorry, old fella... |
| 02:07:36 |
Damn. |
| 02:08:14 |
- General Hancock, sir. |
| 02:08:16 |
This man is Major Sidney Willard |
| 02:08:19 |
This way, sir. |
| 02:08:35 |
Prepare to lift. Lift. |
| 02:08:46 |
He's been shot twice in the chest, general. |
| 02:09:00 |
- Is there whiskey in this house? |
| 02:09:11 |
Drink this, sir. |
| 02:09:18 |
"Think not to thyself... |
| 02:09:21 |
...that thou shall escape in the king's |
| 02:09:26 |
For if it thou keepest |
| 02:09:31 |
...deliverance shall arise |
| 02:09:36 |
And who knows whether |
| 02:09:40 |
...for such a time as this." |
| 02:09:43 |
That's from the book of Esther. |
| 02:09:46 |
Esther knew she had to do |
| 02:09:50 |
Esther had to save her people too. |
| 02:09:53 |
I love them people |
| 02:09:57 |
I's known them most all my life. |
| 02:10:02 |
The Beales is good people. |
| 02:10:08 |
Mr. General? |
| 02:10:12 |
I was born a slave. |
| 02:10:16 |
And I wants to die free. |
| 02:10:19 |
Lord knows I wants to die free, |
| 02:10:26 |
Heaven help me. |
| 02:10:31 |
May God bless you all. |
| 02:11:20 |
Damn it, Tom, |
| 02:11:22 |
You?! Lawrence, I thought |
| 02:11:46 |
Mother? |
| 02:11:50 |
I was able to secure the aid |
| 02:11:53 |
...and could ascertain beyond all doubt |
| 02:12:01 |
Oh, I pray to God |
| 02:12:05 |
But, Mother... |
| 02:12:07 |
...it is a pitiful sight on the fields |
| 02:12:10 |
I should feel rancor in my heart |
| 02:12:14 |
...but all I feel for them is sorrow. |
| 02:12:19 |
Dear Lucy... |
| 02:12:21 |
...when you were |
| 02:12:24 |
...I believe the year was 1847... |
| 02:12:27 |
...there was a great famine in Ireland. |
| 02:12:31 |
Those fields below the Heights |
| 02:12:33 |
...with the finest crop of corn |
| 02:12:37 |
The greater part of it was sent |
| 02:12:43 |
I cannot help thinking... |
| 02:12:45 |
...but that it helped to feed |
| 02:12:49 |
...who fell on this very field today. |
| 02:13:15 |
General Gregg. |
| 02:13:18 |
General Jackson. |
| 02:13:20 |
I wish to apologize... |
| 02:13:26 |
...for the differences we had. |
| 02:13:29 |
The doctor tells me |
| 02:13:33 |
I ask you to dismiss this matter |
| 02:13:37 |
...and turn your thoughts to God... |
| 02:13:40 |
...and the world to which you go. |
| 02:13:43 |
General... |
| 02:13:47 |
...you know that I'm not a believer. |
| 02:13:55 |
Well, then I will believe |
| 02:14:18 |
How horrible is war. |
| 02:14:23 |
Horrible, yes... |
| 02:14:25 |
...but we have been invaded. |
| 02:14:29 |
Lord, what can we do? |
| 02:14:32 |
Kill them, sir. |
| 02:14:36 |
Kill every last man of them. |
| 02:14:46 |
Gentlemen. |
| 02:15:40 |
Oh, what I wouldn't give |
| 02:15:52 |
20th Maine! Return fire! |
| 02:15:55 |
- Return fire! |
| 02:16:02 |
Patrick. |
| 02:16:06 |
I hope you don't mind. |
| 02:16:09 |
I know you're in heaven, |
| 02:16:14 |
...in this poor pitiless world. |
| 02:16:44 |
Colonel Chamberlain. |
| 02:16:45 |
Your orders are to withdraw. |
| 02:18:10 |
Colonel. |
| 02:18:11 |
We are ordered to form a picket line and |
| 02:18:19 |
Colonel Chamberlain, did you hear me? |
| 02:18:32 |
Yes, sir. We are to retreat, sir. |
| 02:18:42 |
Captain Spear. |
| 02:18:46 |
- Form the regiment. We're moving out. |
| 02:20:36 |
Yankees. |
| 02:20:37 |
Everywhere. |
| 02:20:39 |
Where y'all been? |
| 02:20:46 |
What y'all done with my house? |
| 02:20:48 |
Where is it? Can y'all tell me that? |
| 02:20:52 |
Well, can you? Can you? |
| 02:21:04 |
"Men of the Army... |
| 02:21:06 |
...although you were not successful |
| 02:21:09 |
...the attempt was not an error, |
| 02:21:15 |
No soldiers in the annals of war |
| 02:21:21 |
Condoling with the mourners |
| 02:21:24 |
...and sympathizing |
| 02:21:28 |
...I congratulate the Army |
| 02:21:32 |
...have been comparatively so small." |
| 02:21:37 |
The Scots at Culloden? |
| 02:21:40 |
The French at Waterloo? |
| 02:21:41 |
"...the thanks of the nation." |
| 02:21:44 |
Signed: Abraham Lincoln. |
| 02:22:04 |
Battalion! |
| 02:22:07 |
Dismissed! |
| 02:22:20 |
At this Christmas season, |
| 02:22:24 |
...we can hardly wonder |
| 02:22:27 |
...that has shown us the |
| 02:22:31 |
...and given us occasion for national joy |
| 02:23:43 |
General Jackson? |
| 02:23:46 |
Do you know |
| 02:23:52 |
I was wondering if someone would tell me. |
| 02:23:59 |
- This is Santa's sled. |
| 02:24:05 |
And this is stuff made of candy. |
| 02:24:10 |
This is a gingerbread snowflake. |
| 02:24:14 |
And this is a paper chain of angels. |
| 02:24:22 |
Did you make this angel? |
| 02:24:25 |
It's lovely. |
| 02:24:30 |
- How old are you, Jane? |
| 02:24:33 |
- How old are you? |
| 02:24:36 |
My father is 38. He's a soldier like you. |
| 02:24:41 |
I haven't seen him for more than a year. |
| 02:24:45 |
I've not met your father, but I'm told |
| 02:24:52 |
I'm sure he misses you |
| 02:24:56 |
When did you last see your daughter? |
| 02:25:01 |
I've never seen her. |
| 02:25:03 |
She was born just days ago. |
| 02:25:06 |
I want to see her more than anything |
| 02:25:11 |
I want to see her as much as |
| 02:25:18 |
You see that star at the top of the tree? |
| 02:25:23 |
The star of Bethlehem. |
| 02:25:27 |
The star that showed the wise men |
| 02:25:32 |
Mother says that star will show Daddy |
| 02:25:41 |
Well, your mother's very wise, |
| 02:25:46 |
Your daddy will come home. |
| 02:25:51 |
All the daddies will come home. |
| 02:25:57 |
Oh, my. |
| 02:26:17 |
Gentlemen, let us lift our glasses |
| 02:26:22 |
...without whose bravery and fortitude... |
| 02:26:26 |
...without whose love, |
| 02:26:30 |
...not a man among us |
| 02:26:35 |
...or defend the cause. |
| 02:26:38 |
- Hear, hear. |
| 02:26:40 |
Hear, hear. |
| 02:26:42 |
Now it's time for a carol. |
| 02:26:46 |
- Carols are my favorite. |
| 02:26:49 |
Of course you can sing, Mr. Jackson. |
| 02:26:52 |
Just let your breath flow gently over your |
| 02:26:57 |
I'm afraid General Jackson's voice is more |
| 02:27:02 |
You may take my word on it, Mrs. Corbin. |
| 02:27:04 |
If it's singing you want, |
| 02:27:08 |
We've worked our way |
| 02:27:10 |
...and he always takes up |
| 02:27:14 |
Well then, Mr. Pendleton... |
| 02:27:17 |
...since the general has appointed you |
| 02:27:21 |
...what shall we sing? |
| 02:27:29 |
"Silent Night." |
| 02:27:52 |
Dearest Fanny: |
| 02:27:55 |
The bugle has just sounded, |
| 02:28:01 |
It makes me happy to think of you |
| 02:28:06 |
...all nestled together. |
| 02:28:08 |
I know that it is all well and bright with |
| 02:28:16 |
Come and let me kiss your dear lips, |
| 02:28:21 |
Let our hearts worship together |
| 02:28:29 |
Yes, all is well, well with us, darling... |
| 02:28:34 |
...well if we can only meet at last, |
| 02:29:44 |
Hey, Billy Yank. |
| 02:29:52 |
- That's a mighty nice song. |
| 02:29:56 |
I'd like it even more if I had some coffee |
| 02:30:01 |
- Want some baccy? |
| 02:30:04 |
Have you got a lame horse? |
| 02:30:08 |
What do you be wanting to trade |
| 02:30:11 |
Would you take General Burnside? |
| 02:30:14 |
No. I guess I'll keep the horsehide. |
| 02:30:20 |
Come on, get your baccy. |
| 02:31:58 |
Mr. Smith, are you aware that the Bible |
| 02:32:03 |
- No, sir. |
| 02:32:06 |
Consider the narrative of Joshua's battles |
| 02:32:11 |
It has clearness and modesty, brevity. |
| 02:32:14 |
And it traces the victory to the right |
| 02:32:20 |
Has it helped you with your reports, sir? |
| 02:32:23 |
Anybody home? |
| 02:32:28 |
Afternoon, General Jackson. |
| 02:32:37 |
What's this? |
| 02:32:49 |
- New recruits. |
| 02:32:54 |
That's fine. |
| 02:33:00 |
- Left, right. Left, right. |
| 02:33:05 |
However... |
| 02:33:26 |
...there. |
| 02:33:28 |
I believe that suits a young girl |
| 02:33:34 |
Mama's baking some biscuits. |
| 02:33:36 |
You know, I was thinking of walking over |
| 02:33:41 |
And I would very much like the company |
| 02:33:45 |
Yes, General Jackson, |
| 02:33:56 |
Mr. Smith, you may continue |
| 02:34:04 |
Consult first and second Samuel... |
| 02:34:09 |
...and first and second Kings. |
| 02:34:11 |
They will be of help to you. |
| 02:34:14 |
Shall we go? |
| 02:34:15 |
Do you prefer butter biscuits |
| 02:34:19 |
Oh, my. I know your mother's biscuits |
| 02:34:58 |
We owe you Texas boys a debt |
| 02:35:02 |
Colonel Patton, any man who can't handle |
| 02:35:05 |
...ain't fit to carry a musket. |
| 02:36:19 |
Attention, battalions. |
| 02:36:25 |
Halt. |
| 02:36:27 |
- Sergeant, keep these men here for now. |
| 02:36:39 |
Sir. |
| 02:36:43 |
The men have rounded up three deserters. |
| 02:36:47 |
Establish the courts-martial. |
| 02:36:50 |
Have them arraigned. |
| 02:36:54 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:37:01 |
Yes? |
| 02:37:03 |
Well, I thought that you should know, sir. |
| 02:37:09 |
They all belong to the Stonewall brigade. |
| 02:37:24 |
Do your duty, soldier. |
| 02:37:27 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:37:29 |
Mr. Pendleton, if they are innocent, |
| 02:37:32 |
But if they are found guilty of desertion... |
| 02:37:35 |
...the courts-martial condemns them |
| 02:37:45 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:37:48 |
Of course, sir. |
| 02:37:50 |
I'm not done yet. |
| 02:37:57 |
Sandie. |
| 02:38:07 |
If the Republicans lose their little war, |
| 02:38:14 |
...and they return to their homes |
| 02:38:18 |
...fat with their war profits. |
| 02:38:22 |
If we lose, we lose our country. |
| 02:38:28 |
We lose our independence. |
| 02:38:33 |
We lose it all. |
| 02:38:43 |
Our soldiers are brave. |
| 02:38:46 |
They have endured hardships none of them |
| 02:38:50 |
Desertion is not a solitary crime. |
| 02:38:54 |
It's a crime against the tens of thousands |
| 02:38:57 |
...who are huddled together |
| 02:39:01 |
Against all those who have sacrificed. |
| 02:39:05 |
Against all those who have fallen. |
| 02:39:08 |
Against all the women and the children |
| 02:39:14 |
I regard the crime of desertion as a sin |
| 02:39:25 |
Duty is ours. |
| 02:39:28 |
The consequences are God's. |
| 02:39:55 |
I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia. |
| 02:39:59 |
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay. |
| 02:40:02 |
And if needs be, die. |
| 02:40:15 |
The courts-martial of the Army |
| 02:40:18 |
...has found you guilty of desertion |
| 02:40:21 |
...by firing squad. |
| 02:40:24 |
Lieutenant, do your duty. |
| 02:40:29 |
Detail, ready! |
| 02:40:32 |
Aim. |
| 02:40:34 |
Fire! |
| 02:40:37 |
Recover, arm! |
| 02:40:57 |
Morning, Lawrence. |
| 02:40:59 |
- Any mail? |
| 02:41:01 |
But I did manage to get my hands |
| 02:41:04 |
- What are they saying about us now? |
| 02:41:08 |
I mean, that is, this Army here |
| 02:41:12 |
Sure are kicking up a fuss about |
| 02:41:17 |
Says here that enlistments are down |
| 02:41:20 |
- Any grumbling among the men? |
| 02:41:24 |
A few wonder out loud why they should |
| 02:41:28 |
Well, Tom, you know my position. |
| 02:41:31 |
I signed up to preserve the Union. |
| 02:41:35 |
What's the use of uniting the country |
| 02:41:41 |
It sure riled up those Johnny Rebs. |
| 02:41:43 |
They'll think Lincoln incited the slaves |
| 02:41:47 |
Why shouldn't they? |
| 02:41:48 |
Freeing the slaves wasn't a war aim |
| 02:41:52 |
- It sorts things out. |
| 02:41:55 |
Not everybody feels the way we do |
| 02:41:58 |
Especially when it comes to fighting |
| 02:42:01 |
Tom. |
| 02:42:03 |
Do me a favor. |
| 02:42:05 |
Don't call me Lawrence |
| 02:42:10 |
That's a patronizing expression |
| 02:42:18 |
Come outside. I want to... |
| 02:42:45 |
All these thousands of men. |
| 02:42:48 |
Many of them not much more than boys. |
| 02:42:51 |
Each one of them some mother's son. |
| 02:42:53 |
Some sister's brother. |
| 02:42:58 |
Each one of them a whole person, loved |
| 02:43:05 |
Many of them will never return. |
| 02:43:11 |
An army is power. |
| 02:43:15 |
Its entire purpose is to coerce others. |
| 02:43:19 |
Now, this kind of power cannot be used |
| 02:43:24 |
This kind of power can do great harm. |
| 02:43:29 |
We have seen more suffering |
| 02:43:34 |
...and if there is going to be an end to it, |
| 02:43:41 |
Now, somewhere out there |
| 02:43:47 |
They claim they are fighting |
| 02:43:51 |
Now, I cannot question their integrity. |
| 02:43:54 |
I believe they are wrong, |
| 02:43:58 |
But I do question a system |
| 02:44:01 |
...while it denies it to others. |
| 02:44:07 |
I will admit it, Tom, war is a scourge. |
| 02:44:12 |
It is the systematic coercion |
| 02:44:18 |
It has been around since |
| 02:44:21 |
It exists in every corner of the world. |
| 02:44:25 |
But that's no excuse for us |
| 02:44:27 |
...when we find it right before |
| 02:44:37 |
As God is my witness, there is no one |
| 02:44:44 |
But if your life or mine is part of the |
| 02:44:53 |
...then let God's will be done. |
| 02:45:37 |
Oh, my, general, |
| 02:45:40 |
Where do you get all these lemons? |
| 02:45:43 |
It's a kind providence that provides kindly. |
| 02:45:46 |
Miss Corbin, the Yankees have not |
| 02:45:50 |
...to the South. |
| 02:45:52 |
Here is to the sultry, balmy, South. |
| 02:45:58 |
And, Miss Corbin, |
| 02:46:01 |
May Sandie Pendleton prove to be |
| 02:46:07 |
Hear, hear. |
| 02:46:22 |
That's good, it's not too sweet. |
| 02:46:24 |
May I have some more? |
| 02:46:26 |
Sure. |
| 02:47:06 |
Mrs. Corbin. |
| 02:47:09 |
Thank you for your many kindnesses. |
| 02:47:11 |
Our cause and our country |
| 02:47:15 |
I only regret, general, |
| 02:47:18 |
You'll come visit us again |
| 02:47:22 |
I should like to say goodbye to your |
| 02:47:26 |
Certainly, general. |
| 02:47:29 |
All of the children have come down |
| 02:47:42 |
Well, now. |
| 02:47:46 |
What's this? |
| 02:47:52 |
How can I play with my friend |
| 02:48:15 |
Jane. |
| 02:48:17 |
Will you place this angel on your tree |
| 02:48:43 |
Mrs. Corbin, I must return to my men. |
| 02:48:46 |
My physician, Doctor McGuire, |
| 02:48:49 |
- I will send him directly. |
| 02:49:04 |
Fresh meat. What a change. |
| 02:49:07 |
Yeah. A live steer around these parts |
| 02:49:25 |
It was scarlet fever. |
| 02:49:29 |
The children are all right. They'll be fine. |
| 02:49:35 |
I'm so sorry, sir. |
| 02:49:37 |
The little girl, Jane. |
| 02:49:40 |
She did not survive. She died, sir. |
| 02:51:01 |
What is it? |
| 02:51:05 |
He's never cried before. |
| 02:51:07 |
Not for all the blood and all the death, |
| 02:51:12 |
...not for his friends... |
| 02:51:16 |
...not for anyone. |
| 02:51:19 |
Not so, Sandie. |
| 02:51:23 |
I think he is crying for them all. |
| 02:53:09 |
She's too pretty to look like me. |
| 02:53:12 |
Nonsense, Thomas. |
| 02:53:16 |
She is very like you. |
| 02:53:21 |
She rises early and she loves to be held |
| 02:53:34 |
I have never seen you look |
| 02:53:39 |
You are handsomer than ever. |
| 02:53:51 |
General Jackson, sir? General Jackson, sir? |
| 02:53:55 |
An officer come to see you, sir. |
| 02:54:01 |
I'll be right there. |
| 02:54:41 |
General, from what we've observed, |
| 02:54:45 |
...maybe 70,000 men. |
| 02:54:46 |
They're digging in around |
| 02:54:48 |
Sedgwick has another 40,000 |
| 02:54:53 |
...on the north bank of the Rappahannock |
| 02:54:58 |
Now, there's possibly 30,000 more |
| 02:55:03 |
...that we've not yet located. |
| 02:55:05 |
We're not in a position of strength here. |
| 02:55:08 |
We owe a great deal to the unexplainable, |
| 02:55:12 |
...who's allowed us to maneuver freely... |
| 02:55:14 |
...between two parts of an army |
| 02:55:20 |
We do not yet understand his plan. |
| 02:55:24 |
He may still plan a move |
| 02:55:26 |
...move around below us, |
| 02:55:29 |
And there's still Sedgwick on the river. |
| 02:55:32 |
Now Sedgwick shows no signs of moving, |
| 02:55:36 |
They're anchored against the river... |
| 02:55:38 |
...and their lines continue |
| 02:55:42 |
...then curves along here. |
| 02:55:44 |
We've observed their lines curving out |
| 02:55:48 |
...then extending on out to the west. |
| 02:55:51 |
Then what, general? |
| 02:55:55 |
- No. Not yet. |
| 02:55:58 |
If he marches in that direction, |
| 02:56:02 |
...or be going toward Gordonsville |
| 02:56:07 |
General Lee, sir. |
| 02:56:09 |
- May I approach? |
| 02:56:15 |
Out here, in the west, |
| 02:56:18 |
...their right flank's in the air. |
| 02:56:23 |
They're not expecting any pressure there. |
| 02:56:26 |
- Who's on their flank? |
| 02:56:32 |
Were there any roads farther down |
| 02:56:36 |
Yes, sir. Indeed there are, good roads. |
| 02:56:38 |
That's Catherine's Furnace here |
| 02:56:42 |
- There's a road over this way. |
| 02:56:46 |
Then attack the flank. |
| 02:56:49 |
They'll have to go back across the river |
| 02:56:53 |
We're too close to their lines. |
| 02:56:57 |
There must be another road farther down. |
| 02:57:00 |
Now, is there someone we know? |
| 02:57:02 |
Someone we can trust |
| 02:57:06 |
Captain Pendleton. |
| 02:57:08 |
I'm here, sir. |
| 02:57:10 |
This is my chaplain, |
| 02:57:13 |
He has family in this area. |
| 02:57:15 |
General Lee. |
| 02:57:18 |
Reverend, it would be very helpful |
| 02:57:22 |
...around the enemy. |
| 02:57:27 |
The Wellfords. I suggest a visit to them. |
| 02:57:31 |
Please go at once, Mr. Lacy. |
| 02:57:33 |
Find someone who might show us |
| 02:57:36 |
Yes, sir. |
| 02:57:40 |
Then it has been decided, general. |
| 02:57:47 |
I would not have it any other way. |
| 02:57:52 |
Boys, my days are numbered. |
| 02:57:55 |
My time has come. |
| 02:57:58 |
You can laugh, but my time has come. |
| 02:58:06 |
I got a 20-dollar gold piece I carried |
| 02:58:10 |
...my daddy sent to me |
| 02:58:17 |
Take them off of me when I'm dead. |
| 02:58:20 |
Give them to my captain to give to my |
| 02:58:24 |
Here's my clothes and my blanket. |
| 02:58:29 |
My rations I do not wish at all. My gun |
| 02:58:46 |
- Mr. Smith. |
| 02:58:48 |
Your instructions to the ranks: There is |
| 02:58:52 |
Stragglers will be bayoneted, |
| 02:58:54 |
No muskets are to be loaded until we |
| 02:58:59 |
Everything depends upon |
| 02:59:02 |
Sir, I'll convey the orders. No stragglers. |
| 02:59:10 |
- Reverend. |
| 02:59:15 |
Dear Lord, heavenly Father, |
| 02:59:20 |
We face again a mighty |
| 02:59:24 |
An enemy more than twice our number. |
| 02:59:27 |
But you have taught us |
| 02:59:32 |
When the Philistines came before them, |
| 02:59:37 |
Their Army was in terror. |
| 02:59:39 |
No one had the courage to stand |
| 02:59:43 |
Then you brought forth David, |
| 02:59:47 |
And Saul armed David with his armor... |
| 02:59:50 |
...and he put a helmet |
| 02:59:54 |
Also he armed him with a coat of mail. |
| 02:59:58 |
And David girded his sword upon |
| 03:00:30 |
General Rodes, deploy your men on |
| 03:00:35 |
How soon will |
| 03:00:37 |
We're right behind, general. |
| 03:00:44 |
General Lee... |
| 03:00:47 |
...I hope as soon as |
| 03:00:50 |
...I trust that an ever kind providence |
| 03:01:00 |
Take this to General Lee. |
| 03:01:05 |
Well, General Rodes... |
| 03:01:10 |
...it appears the Virginia Military |
| 03:01:16 |
Deploy your brigade. |
| 03:01:40 |
There is another blow, it's a road that |
| 03:01:45 |
The Wellford boy explained it to me. |
| 03:01:48 |
He will march with us to where |
| 03:01:52 |
...then we turn to the east |
| 03:01:55 |
It is a greater distance, perhaps 12 or |
| 03:01:59 |
They have never let us down. |
| 03:02:01 |
We've divided the Army before. |
| 03:02:06 |
We must retain the advantage of |
| 03:02:11 |
We must beat them at their own game. |
| 03:02:16 |
Take your entire corps, |
| 03:02:24 |
God be with you. |
| 03:03:33 |
Two hours of daylight left. |
| 03:03:38 |
You may move forward. |
| 03:06:07 |
- Fall back! |
| 03:06:30 |
- Shoulder to shoulder! Let's go, let's go! |
| 03:06:34 |
Aim fire! |
| 03:06:37 |
Pull back and save yourself! |
| 03:07:08 |
Form a line! Aim! |
| 03:07:11 |
Fire! |
| 03:07:15 |
Fall back! |
| 03:07:17 |
Fall back! |
| 03:07:19 |
Fire! Fall back! |
| 03:07:21 |
Into the trees, men! Fall back! |
| 03:07:27 |
Press on! |
| 03:07:59 |
Form a line! Form a line! |
| 03:08:01 |
Form a line! |
| 03:08:04 |
- Run! Run! |
| 03:08:50 |
Press on! |
| 03:08:58 |
Hold up right here! Aim! Fire! |
| 03:09:34 |
Push on! |
| 03:09:37 |
Push on! |
| 03:10:44 |
Hell, that's hot. I knew |
| 03:10:54 |
Oh, God. |
| 03:11:11 |
Regroup! |
| 03:11:13 |
- Stop running! |
| 03:11:16 |
Stay together! |
| 03:11:18 |
My God! Give them the bayonet! |
| 03:11:23 |
- Stop running! |
| 03:11:26 |
Stop running, soldier! |
| 03:11:28 |
Stop running! Rally with me, men! |
| 03:11:34 |
- Rally with me! |
| 03:11:38 |
Give me a line to the left! |
| 03:11:43 |
We have stopped, sir. Can't see. |
| 03:11:47 |
We're mixed in with Rodes' men. |
| 03:11:50 |
We need Hill to come up. |
| 03:11:53 |
Tell General Colston |
| 03:11:56 |
Now I will strongly urge General Hill |
| 03:12:00 |
We must not stop. Let General Colston |
| 03:12:05 |
Yes, sir. |
| 03:12:07 |
General Hill, you must keep the men |
| 03:12:12 |
We have broken their flank. We can |
| 03:12:16 |
We must not give them time |
| 03:12:18 |
General, take your division forward. |
| 03:12:21 |
Press on north, move toward the river, |
| 03:12:25 |
- We must not let them escape. |
| 03:12:28 |
- We don't know the ground. |
| 03:12:31 |
You will ride with General Hill. |
| 03:12:33 |
You will find a way |
| 03:12:36 |
You will find the rear |
| 03:12:39 |
Yes, sir. |
| 03:12:41 |
We will cut them off, general! |
| 03:13:30 |
They're digging in. Must be Federal. |
| 03:13:37 |
Sound carries at night, |
| 03:13:45 |
General, sir, we are beyond our lines. |
| 03:13:53 |
You're right. |
| 03:13:58 |
It cannot go the way I'd hoped. |
| 03:14:03 |
It will have to be tomorrow. |
| 03:14:08 |
Gentlemen, let us return to the road. |
| 03:14:34 |
Stop firing! You're firing |
| 03:14:37 |
Hold it! |
| 03:14:40 |
Hold your fire! |
| 03:14:43 |
It's a lie! Pour into them, boys! |
| 03:14:48 |
Cease fire! Cease fire! |
| 03:14:52 |
General Hill, they're our men! |
| 03:15:01 |
What have they done? |
| 03:15:07 |
Who is this? |
| 03:15:10 |
Oh, God, general! Are you hurt badly? |
| 03:15:14 |
I'm afraid I am, in my shoulder. |
| 03:15:18 |
And here. |
| 03:15:22 |
- Get a litter. We need a litter. Move! |
| 03:15:27 |
- We must leave here, general. |
| 03:15:38 |
I will try to keep this from |
| 03:15:41 |
Thank you, general. |
| 03:15:46 |
The Yankees have set up a battery not a |
| 03:15:57 |
Ready? Lift! Careful now. |
| 03:16:04 |
Move out. Ready, lift. |
| 03:16:28 |
Fire! |
| 03:16:35 |
Fire! |
| 03:16:39 |
General. Lie quiet, or you |
| 03:16:58 |
Let's go. Lift! |
| 03:17:02 |
Move! Ready? Lift! |
| 03:17:25 |
Doctor, good to see you. |
| 03:17:30 |
I am hurt badly. |
| 03:17:36 |
I fear I am dying. |
| 03:17:43 |
Sir, I want you to drink this. |
| 03:17:48 |
It's whiskey and morphine. |
| 03:17:56 |
Your right hand is minor. |
| 03:18:03 |
It's these other wounds. |
| 03:18:07 |
I need to examine your arm. |
| 03:18:10 |
And I'll administer chloroform |
| 03:18:15 |
If I should find that the condition |
| 03:18:21 |
...may I proceed at once? |
| 03:18:27 |
I have complete faith |
| 03:18:33 |
Just do to me whatever |
| 03:18:46 |
Breathe deeply, general. |
| 03:18:56 |
What an infinite blessing. |
| 03:19:09 |
Blessing. |
| 03:19:36 |
Doesn't seem right that General Jackson |
| 03:19:41 |
No, major. It does not seem right at all. |
| 03:19:49 |
He's lost his left arm. I've lost my right. |
| 03:20:19 |
General? |
| 03:20:23 |
How you feeling, sir? |
| 03:20:25 |
Do not concern yourself about me. |
| 03:20:30 |
But tell me, how are we faring? |
| 03:20:33 |
General, the enemy's gone |
| 03:20:37 |
We secured the high ground |
| 03:20:41 |
General Stuart did well by you, sir. |
| 03:20:45 |
And the Stonewall brigade... |
| 03:20:50 |
...right in the middle of it, sir. |
| 03:20:56 |
I heard that all day. |
| 03:20:59 |
They were fighting for Stonewall. |
| 03:21:07 |
Well, isn't that just like them. |
| 03:21:13 |
That name, Stonewall, belongs |
| 03:21:19 |
I have the ball. |
| 03:21:23 |
Dr. McGuire allowed me to keep the |
| 03:21:31 |
It was a round, smooth bore. |
| 03:21:37 |
I heard. They thought I was asleep. |
| 03:21:42 |
It could not be helped. |
| 03:21:49 |
We must all forgive. |
| 03:21:59 |
I had to remove your husband's |
| 03:22:06 |
He's healing well, I'm very pleased. |
| 03:22:10 |
I do believe he is developing pneumonia. |
| 03:22:13 |
- May I see him, doctor? |
| 03:22:17 |
I've given him some medicine |
| 03:22:21 |
He's in some pain and the medication |
| 03:22:43 |
General, I have a treat for you. |
| 03:22:49 |
Another medicine? |
| 03:22:55 |
Very well, doctor. |
| 03:22:57 |
No, it's not mine, actually. |
| 03:23:02 |
But it may do you some good. |
| 03:23:15 |
Oh, so sweet. Too much sugar. |
| 03:23:19 |
Always the problem with |
| 03:23:45 |
I'm so glad to see you looking so bright. |
| 03:23:56 |
No, no. You must be cheerful. |
| 03:24:02 |
Let's not have a long face. |
| 03:24:03 |
You know I like cheerfulness |
| 03:24:15 |
Esposita. |
| 03:24:18 |
My esposita. |
| 03:24:24 |
I know you would gladly |
| 03:24:28 |
...but I am perfectly resigned. |
| 03:24:35 |
I hope I may yet recover. |
| 03:24:42 |
Pray for me. |
| 03:24:45 |
But in your prayers, never forget to |
| 03:25:05 |
I'm so glad you're here. |
| 03:25:12 |
- It's not too sweet. |
| 03:25:15 |
I never told you that. |
| 03:25:27 |
Is that my sweet darling angel? |
| 03:25:36 |
My Julia. |
| 03:26:05 |
Is it certain, doctor? |
| 03:26:11 |
Does he know? |
| 03:26:15 |
I have not told him. |
| 03:26:18 |
Then I will. |
| 03:26:21 |
He must know. |
| 03:26:24 |
He must be prepared. |
| 03:26:53 |
My darling... |
| 03:26:58 |
...today is Sunday. |
| 03:27:04 |
Do you know that the doctor says |
| 03:27:12 |
Do you not feel willing to acquiesce... |
| 03:27:15 |
...in God's allotment |
| 03:27:25 |
I prefer it. |
| 03:27:29 |
I prefer it. |
| 03:27:35 |
Well... |
| 03:27:38 |
...by the time this day closes... |
| 03:27:42 |
...you will be with the blessed |
| 03:27:53 |
I will be an infinite gainer |
| 03:28:30 |
General Lee. |
| 03:28:38 |
What is the news, Reverend? |
| 03:28:40 |
General Lee, I must report |
| 03:28:47 |
His wounds are healing, |
| 03:28:54 |
Surely General Jackson must recover. |
| 03:28:59 |
God will not take him from us, not now |
| 03:29:08 |
Will you see him, sir? |
| 03:29:12 |
No, sir, I won't. No, sir. |
| 03:29:24 |
When you return, I trust |
| 03:29:30 |
And when the occasion offers, tell him |
| 03:29:39 |
...as I never prayed, |
| 03:29:45 |
Please tell him. |
| 03:29:50 |
Please tell him. |
| 03:29:53 |
Sir. |
| 03:30:16 |
Push up that column. |
| 03:30:19 |
Move up that column. |
| 03:30:25 |
Pendleton, take charge of that line. |
| 03:30:32 |
Tell him. Push up that column. |
| 03:30:38 |
Move the batteries to the center |
| 03:30:44 |
General Stuart, no quarter to the |
| 03:30:52 |
General Lee, we must take |
| 03:31:08 |
You are the 1 st Brigade. |
| 03:31:13 |
Advance, my brave boys. |
| 03:31:18 |
Press on. |
| 03:31:21 |
Press on. |
| 03:31:46 |
Let us cross over the river... |
| 03:31:51 |
...and rest under the shade of the trees. |
