A+ for historical accuracy
A must see for every student of American history. While there are some graphic scenes of the horrors of warfare - other movies are much worse - students need to be aware of the costs of war, and that some things are worth fighting, and sacrificing for.
The film does a credible job of discussing the causes of the War, from both sides. The dialoge between the Generals, Top civilians, and the foot soldier gives the viewer a good taste of the variety of sentiments of the day.
It is long, but it is a good 'rainy day' movie.
A pause button will be helpful to stop the DVD and discuss some of the points with the kids is a good tactic to us.

JACKSON JACKSON JACKSON!!!!!!!
This is Stonewall Jackson's movie. It's Jackson this, Jackson that. But if you are studying him it will be usefull. I would suggest skipping some parts just because it's reeeeeeaaaally long.

i liked it
to tell u the truth i had first seen gettysberg, this movie's prelude. gettyrsberg was simply amazing especially the battle of little round top its one of my favs...this one didnt totally meet up to my expectations but i liked it! however, i found that WAY too much attention was given to the south. like, WAY too much is was always aboutthe south and how everyone down their loved and took care of their slaves and how the slaves loved them blah blah blah...that ticked me off, and general jackson shoulda been toned down a teensy bit lol...he was a christian, but they made him look like he was stuck up! UGH and he wasnt like that!... but i loved the battles, and the story! the battle of fredericksburg was SO KEWL, and general hancock is by far one of the kewlest characters and should have been in it more! the part with the irish brigade was the best i cried and got shivers it was so...well...just watch it 4 urself lol
