1
00:05:31,372 --> 00:05:34,958
Welcome, Colonel Lee.
Welcome to my home.
2
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:38,170
Make yourself comfortable
there, colonel.
3
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:48,513
Allow me to get to the point, sir.
4
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:51,933
I have been authorized by
President Lincoln himself...
5
00:05:52,101 --> 00:05:55,103
...with the full blessing
of the War Department...
6
00:05:55,271 --> 00:06:00,025
...to offer you full command of the Army
with the rank of major general.
7
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:06,406
This Army being raised to quell this,
uh, rebellion and to preserve the Union.
8
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:12,913
I assume this Army is to be used
to invade those areas...
9
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:15,791
...to eliminate the rebellion by force.
10
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:20,504
Yes, sir, the Federal government
has been challenged by these rebels...
11
00:06:20,671 --> 00:06:25,675
...who have been most effective in changing
the sentiments of state legislatures...
12
00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:31,139
...challenging our Constitution
and challenging our central government.
13
00:06:31,307 --> 00:06:36,228
The attack on Fort Sumter
cannot be ignored.
14
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:40,107
General, my home is right there
across the Potomac.
15
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:43,652
Why, you can see Arlington House
from your front door.
16
00:06:44,153 --> 00:06:47,864
My family is spread all
over this part of Virginia.
17
00:06:48,032 --> 00:06:53,036
If you invade the South, your enemy
territory will be right across that river.
18
00:06:53,496 --> 00:06:59,751
Well, sir, there is no great outcry
for secession in, uh, Virginia.
19
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,006
It's not a foregone conclusion that
Virginia or Tennessee or Arkansas...
20
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:08,468
...or Kentucky will join the rebellion.
21
00:07:09,387 --> 00:07:13,056
My friend, may I humbly submit that
you're mistaken about Virginia.
22
00:07:13,224 --> 00:07:16,852
As you know, the legislature is
convening in Richmond this very day...
23
00:07:17,019 --> 00:07:20,105
...to discuss the very issue of secession.
24
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:23,567
Now, perhaps you know their mind
better than they themselves.
25
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:32,868
And I regret to say the president's
hasty calling up of 75,000 volunteers...
26
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:36,204
...to subdue the rebellion
in the cotton states...
27
00:07:36,372 --> 00:07:41,251
...has done nothing to ameliorate
the crisis. It has only deepened it.
28
00:07:43,212 --> 00:07:47,591
I trust you're not being
too hasty yourself, colonel.
29
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:53,847
This is a great opportunity
for you to serve your country.
30
00:07:57,393 --> 00:07:59,728
My country, Mr. Blair?
31
00:08:01,606 --> 00:08:05,233
I never thought I'd see the day
the president of the United States...
32
00:08:05,401 --> 00:08:09,237
...would raise an army
to invade his own country.
33
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:18,914
No, Mr. Blair, I cannot lead it.
I will not lead it. No.
34
00:08:21,792 --> 00:08:24,794
I'm sorry to hear you say that, sir.
35
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:28,840
I fear you're making
a most dreadful mistake.
36
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:43,021
Sir, please convey my deep sense of
honor and gratitude to the president...
37
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:45,690
...but I must decline his offer.
38
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:47,734
Please tell him.
39
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:53,198
Please be clear. I have
never taken my duties lightly...
40
00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:59,579
...but I have no greater duty
than to my home, to Virginia.
41
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,464
Thank you, sir.
42
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:28,984
Gentlemen, if you are going
to succeed at this institution...
43
00:09:29,151 --> 00:09:32,821
...you have one common goal:
To learn your lessons.
44
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:35,448
If you are placing
your energies elsewhere...
45
00:09:35,616 --> 00:09:42,497
...you will not succeed either with me
or in your careers as military officers.
46
00:09:42,665 --> 00:09:46,668
I had hoped you'd see that with a
proper grasp of the artillery principles...
47
00:09:46,836 --> 00:09:49,838
...I've laid before you today,
you would learn to apply...
48
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:53,800
...these principles with great
effectiveness in your field experiences.
49
00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:58,972
But since you seem unable
to grasp these principles...
50
00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:04,477
...I'm forced to conclude I must repeat
this lesson tomorrow, word for word.
51
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:09,357
Word for word.
52
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:21,202
Secession! Secession! Secession!
53
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:30,712
Hoist it! Hoist it up!
54
00:10:36,927 --> 00:10:42,682
Major, listen to them.
The leaders of our intellectual future...
55
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:45,435
...screaming for the destruction
of our nation!
56
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:49,481
Sir, President Lincoln is raising
the troops.
57
00:10:52,193 --> 00:10:53,568
I...
58
00:10:53,944 --> 00:11:00,116
I will not stay in a place where my
students dishonor their country's flag.
59
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:07,415
Major, I'm leaving
for Pennsylvania tomorrow.
60
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:11,044
War is the sum of all evils.
61
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:14,589
But if I know myself,
all I am and all I have...
62
00:11:14,757 --> 00:11:18,468
...is at the service of my
home, my country.
63
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:20,929
Your country, Thomas?
64
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:25,392
Your country, my country. It's all one.
65
00:11:26,394 --> 00:11:30,939
All one, Thomas. All one.
66
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:45,328
So that in the midst of the searching
of souls and the gnashing of teeth...
67
00:11:45,496 --> 00:11:48,248
...the delegates of this convention...
68
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:54,129
...harried by the actions of a belligerent
usurper and the radicals of his party...
69
00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:56,798
...have stumbled into secession.
70
00:11:56,966 --> 00:12:01,928
Now God knows, I and many
in this room have resisted it.
71
00:12:02,096 --> 00:12:07,726
But how could there be union
with a section of the country...
72
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:12,522
...that wants to impose
its will through coercion?
73
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:18,611
Now that Virginia confronts the armed
might of the United States...
74
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:24,659
...we Virginians have determined
that not one spot of her sacred soil...
75
00:12:24,827 --> 00:12:28,621
...be polluted by the foot of an invader.
76
00:12:36,505 --> 00:12:38,506
God bless Virginia!
77
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:45,472
Now, in the memory of that great
Virginian, George Washington...
78
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:49,851
...who was first in the hearts
of his countrymen and calling also...
79
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:55,982
...upon the memory of his own gallant
father, General Light-Horse Harry Lee...
80
00:12:56,233 --> 00:13:02,071
...this convention now calls upon
Robert Edward Lee to take command...
81
00:13:02,239 --> 00:13:06,618
...of the armed forces of
the Citizen Army of Virginia.
82
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,235
Mr. President, gentlemen
of the convention...
83
00:13:40,402 --> 00:13:44,614
...I'm profoundly impressed
by the solemnity of the occasion...
84
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:48,076
...for which I must say
I was not prepared.
85
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:53,081
I accept the position assigned me
by your partiality.
86
00:13:54,041 --> 00:13:59,087
I would have much preferred had
your choice fallen on an abler man.
87
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:05,301
But trusting to Almighty God,
an approving conscience...
88
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:08,263
...and the aid of my fellow citizens...
89
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:13,101
...I devote myself to the service
of my native state...
90
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:20,567
...in whose behalf alone will I
ever again draw my sword.
91
00:15:54,203 --> 00:16:00,500
We must not fear the final result of this
war, but many a loved one will fall...
92
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:03,795
...and many a heart throb
with anguish...
93
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:08,299
...before we can breathe the exhilarating
atmosphere of freedom...
94
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:13,972
...and feel the sweet assurance
of safety and peace once more.
95
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:19,060
There's nothing in this life more dear
to me than my children...
96
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:22,814
...except perhaps the memory
of your wonderful father.
97
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:30,947
When you go to Richmond,
and wherever this war takes you...
98
00:16:31,281 --> 00:16:37,787
...you must not fear for us.
We will be with you wherever you go.
99
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:44,252
Surely goodness and mercy have
followed me all the days of my life.
100
00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:57,306
Now be on your way,
and God be with you.
101
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:06,315
Y'all be coming on back, you hear?
102
00:17:07,901 --> 00:17:09,861
We'll be back, Martha.
103
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:36,804
Mr. Wilkes, sir.
104
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:41,350
Would you be kind enough
as to autograph my playbill?
105
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:46,814
I was never much interested
in Shakespeare...
106
00:17:46,982 --> 00:17:51,194
- Mm-hm.
- ...until I saw you play Richard III.
107
00:17:51,361 --> 00:17:56,491
"A horse! A horse!
My kingdom for a horse!"
108
00:17:57,493 --> 00:18:01,162
Was ever woman in this humor wooed?
109
00:18:01,872 --> 00:18:04,832
Was ever woman in this humor won?
110
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:22,391
Say, uh, haven't I seen you someplace?
111
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:23,768
Why, of course you have.
112
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:28,523
This here is Mr. Wilkes Booth,
the finest actor in all of Richmond.
113
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:41,035
All the world's a stage...
114
00:18:41,829 --> 00:18:45,123
...and we but its poor players.
115
00:18:45,749 --> 00:18:50,253
What better role than a soldier's
in defense of his home...
116
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:52,171
...his honor...
117
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:54,966
...and his beloved?
118
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:11,399
Good morning, major.
This just arrived for you.
119
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:35,464
Cadet Norris, return to the Institute.
My compliments to Colonel Smith.
120
00:19:35,632 --> 00:19:38,426
I will be at his office
within the half-hour.
121
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:39,886
Sir.
122
00:19:42,931 --> 00:19:47,185
"You are ordered to report with the
corps of cadets to camp instruction...
123
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:50,438
...to begin training and organization
of the Provisional Army...
124
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:53,524
...for the defense of the
Commonwealth of Virginia."
125
00:19:55,402 --> 00:19:57,445
My esposita.
126
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:02,200
Come, before I leave, we must sit...
127
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,870
...read together, the verse.
128
00:20:09,124 --> 00:20:10,583
Here.
129
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:17,632
Yes, here. Corinthians...
Second Corinthians, chapter five.
130
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,469
I have been thinking about this verse.
131
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:28,809
"For we know that if our earthly house
of this Tabernacle were dissolved...
132
00:20:28,977 --> 00:20:31,646
...we have a building of God.
133
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:37,151
A house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens."
134
00:20:44,451 --> 00:20:46,494
O, Almighty God...
135
00:20:47,537 --> 00:20:51,040
...grant that if it be thy will...
136
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:55,461
...thou wilt still avert the threatening
danger and bring us peace.
137
00:20:58,507 --> 00:21:01,759
Keep her whom I love in
thy protected care.
138
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:08,015
And bring us all at last to
the joy of thy eternal kingdom.
139
00:21:28,203 --> 00:21:29,245
Give them hell, sir!
140
00:21:38,422 --> 00:21:40,131
Yeah, give them hell, men!
141
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:35,770
"The Lord is my light.
My salvation. Whom shall I fear?
142
00:22:36,271 --> 00:22:42,193
The Lord is the strength in my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?
143
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:45,946
When the wicked, even mine
enemies and my foes...
144
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:51,869
...came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
145
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:58,584
Though unhost should encamp against
me, my heart shall not fear.
146
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,922
Though war should rise up against me.
147
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:06,467
In this will I be comforted."
148
00:24:06,653 --> 00:24:09,405
Secession is inexcusable.
149
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:12,992
Southerners and Northerners
can still work together.
150
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:18,330
Slavery will eventually die
of natural causes.
151
00:24:18,498 --> 00:24:21,959
But the breakup of the Union
will inaugurate wars...
152
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:25,212
...of a hundred generations in America...
153
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:29,467
...only to repeat the bloody
history of Europe.
154
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:33,846
If Virginia adheres
to the United States, I adhere.
155
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:40,352
Her determination must control mine.
This is my understanding of patriotism.
156
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,357
And though I love the Union,
I love Virginia more.
157
00:24:48,069 --> 00:24:53,365
Private Jenkins, because of the high
regard with which I hold your father...
158
00:24:53,533 --> 00:24:58,746
...you are free to do as you please. You may
return to his new home in Pennsylvania.
159
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:05,002
It is your decision.
But, if you decide to stay with us...
160
00:25:05,962 --> 00:25:11,467
...you may never again leave. If you do,
you'll be treated as a deserter.
161
00:25:23,438 --> 00:25:27,525
Colonel Jackson, sir. Father.
162
00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:32,947
I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia.
163
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:37,326
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay.
164
00:25:38,995 --> 00:25:41,163
And if needs be, die.
165
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:52,341
- Then I will take my leave.
- No, sir.
166
00:25:54,302 --> 00:25:58,514
It is I who will leave the two of you to
have some time together on your own.
167
00:25:58,682 --> 00:26:01,308
You may have this room
for as long as you require it.
168
00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:03,102
Thank you.
169
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,773
Farewell, colonel.
170
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:15,573
May we meet again in happier times.
171
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:21,161
And if not in this troubled world
may we meet in...
172
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:24,748
In heaven.
173
00:26:28,044 --> 00:26:30,671
This train was on its way to Washington.
174
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:34,883
Its livestock's been requisitioned
by the Confederate government.
175
00:26:35,051 --> 00:26:38,679
There's enough damn beef in here
to keep us fed for quite a while.
176
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:43,100
And as many steeds as would
damn well meet our current needs.
177
00:26:43,518 --> 00:26:48,188
With your permission, sir, we've made
a selection of the more promising horses.
178
00:26:48,356 --> 00:26:49,898
There's some damn fine ones here.
179
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:53,527
Mr. Harman, I fear you are a wicked man.
180
00:26:59,492 --> 00:27:02,745
- This animal looks fit for the duty.
- Then he's yours, sir.
181
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:10,085
That small horse over there,
has he been assigned?
182
00:27:10,253 --> 00:27:14,048
Well, it's a well-rounded sorrel, sir,
but too small for you.
183
00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,258
You'll have your feet
dragging in the dust.
184
00:27:16,426 --> 00:27:18,218
I was thinking of my wife, Anna.
185
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:20,220
He would make a fine present for her.
186
00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:24,808
Well, that it would, sir.
Shall I arrange for the purchase?
187
00:27:27,937 --> 00:27:30,147
Leave the bill of the sale
at my headquarters.
188
00:27:30,899 --> 00:27:32,483
I will buy them both.
189
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:35,069
The Confederate Treasury is honored, sir.
190
00:27:35,236 --> 00:27:37,446
And may you both sit well in the saddle.
191
00:27:37,614 --> 00:27:39,323
What shall I call you?
192
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:48,582
- Good morning, sir.
- Reverend Pendleton.
193
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:52,878
- How goes it with the artillery today?
- You're just in time for a christening.
194
00:27:53,046 --> 00:27:58,634
The men have decided to name the
howitzers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
195
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:04,098
I'm sure your men will spread the gospel
wherever they encounter the enemy.
196
00:28:04,265 --> 00:28:06,475
Has my son proven a worthy adjutant?
197
00:28:06,935 --> 00:28:11,605
I'm certain Captain Pendleton will prove
himself deserving of the family name.
198
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:21,115
Break! Guard! Charge!
199
00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:33,293
As if you could ever get close enough
to stick a man with this.
200
00:28:33,461 --> 00:28:36,964
You can give me your bayonet
if you have no further use for it.
201
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:38,966
What you gonna do with two of them?
202
00:28:39,759 --> 00:28:42,136
You never heard of spare parts?
203
00:28:42,971 --> 00:28:46,682
Pogue, your only hope is that some Yank
puts you out of your misery.
204
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:51,979
Captain White.
205
00:28:52,147 --> 00:28:54,398
How fare the scholars
of Washington College?
206
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:57,317
Are they making their transition
from books to bullets?
207
00:28:57,485 --> 00:29:01,905
A few more days of drill, and my boys
will surpass the cadets of VMI.
208
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:06,034
Drill, Professor White, drill and drill.
Remember Alexander in Anatolia.
209
00:29:06,202 --> 00:29:09,747
Caesar in Gaul. Napoleon in Iberia.
210
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:13,625
We march by day,
and read Xenophon by night.
211
00:29:13,793 --> 00:29:18,213
- We will be your Greek phalanx.
- Then you must begin with the bayonet.
212
00:29:18,381 --> 00:29:22,342
The bayonet must be for a Virginian
what the sarissa was for a Macedonian.
213
00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:26,680
If the Yankees dare set foot in Virginia,
we must show them the bayonet.
214
00:29:26,848 --> 00:29:30,184
Train with the bayonet
and we shall keep our freedom.
215
00:29:30,351 --> 00:29:31,935
Yes, sir.
216
00:29:43,823 --> 00:29:45,199
Sir.
217
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:51,038
Harman has a detachment ready to take
your sorrel to Mrs. Jackson in Lexington.
218
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:53,457
The horse you chose
is waiting at headquarters.
219
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:56,543
I've decided to keep
this little sorrel for myself.
220
00:29:56,711 --> 00:29:59,004
I prefer his gait
to that of the larger horse.
221
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:02,883
Unlike the other, he has an even temper.
222
00:30:03,051 --> 00:30:07,095
He will need it where we are going.
Yes, I will keep it.
223
00:30:07,263 --> 00:30:09,973
And Mrs. Jackson?
What should we send her, sir?
224
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:12,142
Instruct Harman
to make another selection.
225
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:16,730
My complete admiration in his choice
of livestock, if not in his choice of words.
226
00:30:16,898 --> 00:30:19,358
The man's vocabulary
is extremely repulsive.
227
00:30:19,526 --> 00:30:21,151
Yes, sir.
228
00:30:22,695 --> 00:30:25,239
- Will that be all, sir?
- Language is blasphemous...
229
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:30,118
...but he is a good quartermaster,
a good quartermaster. You understand me?
230
00:30:30,286 --> 00:30:32,287
- Yes, sir.
- That's all.
231
00:30:36,042 --> 00:30:37,251
Hyah!
232
00:31:02,318 --> 00:31:05,946
Blue, gray, green, even red uniforms.
233
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:08,198
How are we to know who the enemy is?
234
00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:13,120
You damn fool, you just shoot
at the man that's shooting at you!
235
00:31:14,956 --> 00:31:17,291
I thought we was gonna be trained.
236
00:31:17,458 --> 00:31:20,419
I could have done this walking
on my own back in Staunton.
237
00:31:20,587 --> 00:31:25,841
I never seen you walk in your life when
you didn't have to. Nor me, neither.
238
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:28,594
What man in his senses
would cross his street...
239
00:31:28,761 --> 00:31:31,805
...when he could just be
sitting on his front porch?
240
00:31:31,973 --> 00:31:37,644
I done more walking this week than in
my life and my daddy's life put together.
241
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:42,482
Who'll give us fresh shoes when these
are but tatters and old bits of laces?
242
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,782
You'll excuse me, gentlemen.
243
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:02,044
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart
reporting for duty.
244
00:32:02,211 --> 00:32:03,754
Colonel Stuart.
245
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:07,966
- That's an impeccable hat, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
246
00:32:08,801 --> 00:32:14,598
- Colonel Stuart. You use tobacco?
- No, sir. Not in any form.
247
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:19,019
Neither do I. I find I like it too much.
248
00:32:19,187 --> 00:32:20,896
Sit down.
249
00:32:22,565 --> 00:32:26,234
I understand from your record that
you are West Point, class of '54.
250
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:28,612
Served since in the cavalry,
Ft. Clark, Texas.
251
00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:30,864
Operations against Apache, Comanche.
252
00:32:31,866 --> 00:32:34,117
Fought with Longstreet and Ewell, sir.
253
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:38,497
Nasty business. Merciless climate.
254
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:41,041
Glad to be home, sir.
255
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:46,088
The Apache were defending their
homes, as we will be defending ours.
256
00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:51,051
If we fight as well as the Apache,
I pity the Yankee invader.
257
00:32:51,219 --> 00:32:56,682
Colonel Stuart, if I had my way,
we would show no quarter to the enemy.
258
00:32:56,849 --> 00:33:01,311
No more than the redskins showed your
troopers. The black flag, sir.
259
00:33:01,688 --> 00:33:05,732
If the North triumphs, it is not alone
the destruction of our property.
260
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,318
It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity...
261
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,279
...the loss of free
and responsible government.
262
00:33:11,447 --> 00:33:15,367
It is the triumph of commerce.
The banks, factories.
263
00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:18,578
We should meet the invader on
the verge of just defense...
264
00:33:18,746 --> 00:33:23,750
...and raise the black flag. No quarter to
the violators of our homes and firesides.
265
00:33:25,753 --> 00:33:29,965
Our political leadership is too timid
to face the reality of this coming war.
266
00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:34,344
They should look to the Bible.
It is full of such wars.
267
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:39,266
Only the black flag will bring the North
to its senses and rapidly end the war.
268
00:33:40,935 --> 00:33:42,310
Well, colonel.
269
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:48,442
One way or the other, the South
will give them a warm reception.
270
00:33:48,609 --> 00:33:52,195
You'll be in charge of the cavalry
in the Harper's Ferry district.
271
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:56,825
Your experience and your zeal
will be invaluable.
272
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:59,161
Thank you, sir.
273
00:34:03,958 --> 00:34:05,375
And, colonel...
274
00:34:06,044 --> 00:34:11,089
...know that I will tell my men always
to gallop toward the enemy...
275
00:34:11,257 --> 00:34:13,050
...but trot away.
276
00:34:17,138 --> 00:34:18,722
"Trot."
277
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:29,274
The ratification vote for secession is in.
278
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:34,196
Reporting from all the counties
of Virginia, the vote is 4-to-1 in favor.
279
00:34:39,202 --> 00:34:43,455
And I'm proud to report that the vote
in the Shenandoah Valley...
280
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:47,834
...is 31 30 in favor, 10 against!
281
00:34:50,213 --> 00:34:55,550
In my own Rockbridge County, only one
person voted against leaving the Union.
282
00:34:55,718 --> 00:34:57,135
Probably the village idiot!
283
00:35:08,856 --> 00:35:10,315
Order!
284
00:35:14,529 --> 00:35:18,365
- Parade, rest!
- Parade.
285
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:21,660
Men of the valley.
286
00:35:26,582 --> 00:35:28,667
Citizen soldiers.
287
00:35:30,044 --> 00:35:34,881
I am here at the order of General Robert
E. Lee, commanding all Virginia forces.
288
00:35:36,884 --> 00:35:40,262
On April 15 of this year
of our Lord, 1861...
289
00:35:40,429 --> 00:35:44,307
...Simon Cameron, the secretary of war
of the United States...
290
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:49,062
...sent a telegram to our governor to
raise three regiments of infantry...
291
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:53,066
...to be sent to assist in suppressing
the Southern Confederacy.
292
00:35:53,234 --> 00:35:57,904
Governor Letcher's answer is well
known to you, but perhaps not his words.
293
00:35:58,447 --> 00:36:01,241
His wire to Washington stated:
294
00:36:02,076 --> 00:36:05,412
"You have chosen to inaugurate civil war.
295
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:09,166
Having done so, we will meet you
in a spirit as determined...
296
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:13,795
...as the Lincoln administration
has exhibited toward the South."
297
00:36:14,672 --> 00:36:19,759
Two days later the Virginia legislature
were voting for secession.
298
00:36:21,596 --> 00:36:26,516
Just as we would not send any of our
soldiers to march in other states...
299
00:36:26,684 --> 00:36:29,102
...and tyrannize other people...
300
00:36:30,021 --> 00:36:34,524
...so will we never allow the armies
of others to march into our state...
301
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:36,693
...and tyrannize our people.
302
00:36:37,278 --> 00:36:42,490
Like many of you, indeed most of you,
I've always been a Union man.
303
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:48,955
It is not with joy or with a light heart
that many have welcomed secession.
304
00:36:49,123 --> 00:36:53,001
Had our neighbors to the North practiced
a less bellicose form of persuasion...
305
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:59,216
...this day might not have come.
But that day has been thrust upon us...
306
00:36:59,967 --> 00:37:03,595
...like it was thrust upon our ancestors.
307
00:37:04,305 --> 00:37:09,309
The Lincoln administration required
us to raise three regiments.
308
00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:13,396
Tell them we have done so.
309
00:37:45,221 --> 00:37:49,182
Soldiers! Commanding
General Johnston's orders:
310
00:37:50,184 --> 00:37:53,395
"General Beauregard is being attacked
at Manassas Junction...
311
00:37:53,562 --> 00:37:55,355
...by overwhelming forces."
312
00:37:55,982 --> 00:37:59,442
We have been ordered to cross
the Blue Ridge to his assistance.
313
00:37:59,694 --> 00:38:01,653
Every moment now is precious...
314
00:38:01,821 --> 00:38:06,658
...and the general hopes his soldiers
will step out and keep closed ranks.
315
00:38:06,826 --> 00:38:11,454
Well, this march is a forced march
to save our country.
316
00:38:47,575 --> 00:38:51,286
You must get some rest, sir.
317
00:38:51,579 --> 00:38:56,583
I'll rest easier when Pendleton and
the artillery make it up this mountain.
318
00:38:59,545 --> 00:39:04,215
They'll make better time tomorrow, sir.
It'll all be downhill.
319
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:09,429
You'll trust me to wait for the guns, sir?
320
00:39:14,143 --> 00:39:16,019
Dr. McGuire.
321
00:39:18,439 --> 00:39:23,860
You're an excellent practitioner,
and I believe I will take your prescription.
322
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:48,635
No fires, no tents.
Just like I always dreamed it'd be.
323
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:52,972
You suppose the Virginia legislature was
gonna buy you your own personal tent?
324
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:55,225
That's fine for now.
325
00:39:55,393 --> 00:40:01,064
You'll be humming a different tune when
it's raining, you're all covered in frost...
326
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:04,943
...or you need me to dig you
out of a snowdrift.
327
00:40:05,111 --> 00:40:08,321
So damn dark the bats
run into each other.
328
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:11,324
Old Hickory's just getting us
fit for the fighting.
329
00:40:11,492 --> 00:40:14,828
Old Hickory, Old Jack, Old Blue Light.
330
00:40:14,995 --> 00:40:18,373
How many names you got
for the old man, anyway?
331
00:40:19,291 --> 00:40:22,001
Them VMI boys come up
with the choice one.
332
00:40:22,169 --> 00:40:25,338
They calls him "Tom Fool" when
he's looking the other way.
333
00:40:25,756 --> 00:40:28,800
I'll be a fool if I listened
to you all livelong night.
334
00:40:30,344 --> 00:40:36,474
Old Tom Fool. That name
ought to stick to him like a tick on a mule.
335
00:40:39,979 --> 00:40:45,024
That's it! Step lively! Two at a time!
336
00:40:45,192 --> 00:40:50,572
As quick as you can.
No dilly, no dally.
337
00:40:50,739 --> 00:40:57,203
One foot forward, then the other.
Nothing pretty, nothing fancy.
338
00:40:57,371 --> 00:41:03,877
Into the train. Do it lovely,
do it ugly, all the same to me.
339
00:41:04,336 --> 00:41:07,547
- Colonel Jackson.
- Colonel Trimble.
340
00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:11,176
- I understand you're a train man.
- Baltimore and Ohio.
341
00:41:11,343 --> 00:41:15,472
Spent most of my life building lines,
and the past six months tearing them up.
342
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:18,933
No use in leaving them in fine
fettle with a meddling Yankee.
343
00:41:19,268 --> 00:41:20,894
If you'll excuse me, sir.
344
00:41:21,061 --> 00:41:25,231
Got to move these men where they'll
do the most damage to the enemy.
345
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:30,904
Excuse me, ladies.
346
00:41:31,071 --> 00:41:34,574
Now that's the finest dressed man
in the whole Confederate Army.
347
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:38,369
In you go! Up and over!
348
00:41:38,537 --> 00:41:41,289
Through the brush and in the clover.
349
00:41:41,457 --> 00:41:45,251
Crowd on in. Move it over.
350
00:42:57,241 --> 00:43:00,326
That's General Bee's brigade!
351
00:43:09,295 --> 00:43:12,088
Inform General Bee the
1st Virginians are on the field.
352
00:43:12,298 --> 00:43:14,924
Ask him, can he hold long enough
for me to deploy my men?
353
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:16,759
Yes, sir! I'll ask him!
354
00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:20,013
They may not hold, gentlemen.
We must assume they cannot.
355
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:21,681
- Mr. Smith.
- Sir?
356
00:43:21,849 --> 00:43:26,102
Instruct Imboden and Stanard to position
their batteries in the center of the crest.
357
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:29,522
I want the 4th and the 27th
regiments stationed as support.
358
00:43:29,690 --> 00:43:31,608
I want the 5th Regiment
posted to their right...
359
00:43:31,775 --> 00:43:33,568
...the 2nd and 33rd to the left.
Understood?
360
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:34,777
- Yes, sir.
- Mm-hm.
361
00:43:46,540 --> 00:43:49,208
Counter battery fire!
362
00:43:49,376 --> 00:43:51,377
Eight hundred yards!
363
00:43:51,545 --> 00:43:55,715
- Shell! Five-second fuse!
- Fire!
364
00:44:04,558 --> 00:44:09,479
Counter battery fire. Eight hundred yards.
365
00:44:09,647 --> 00:44:13,733
Shell, five inch. Five-second fuse.
366
00:44:13,901 --> 00:44:15,234
- Fire one!
- Two!
367
00:44:15,402 --> 00:44:17,403
- Three!
- Five, fire!
368
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:19,572
Get primed!
369
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:21,240
Fire!
370
00:44:33,003 --> 00:44:37,799
General! Our line on Matthew's Hill
has broken. They are beating us back.
371
00:44:37,966 --> 00:44:40,426
Then we must give them the bayonet!
372
00:44:40,636 --> 00:44:45,890
1st Brigade, move up to a position just
below the crest of the hill. And stay low!
373
00:44:46,058 --> 00:44:47,600
- Sir.
- Hyah!
374
00:44:53,941 --> 00:44:55,441
Rally, men! Rally!
375
00:44:57,236 --> 00:44:58,778
Look!
376
00:44:58,946 --> 00:45:02,115
There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall.
377
00:45:02,282 --> 00:45:05,201
Let us determine to die here today
and we will conquer.
378
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:07,078
Rally behind the Virginians!
379
00:45:23,804 --> 00:45:25,972
Fix bayonets.
380
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:27,932
- Fix bayonets!
- Fix!
381
00:45:35,816 --> 00:45:37,275
Fire!
382
00:45:54,918 --> 00:45:56,836
Fill in there...!
383
00:46:02,885 --> 00:46:05,344
Instruct the men to lay down!
Hug the ground!
384
00:46:05,554 --> 00:46:10,016
- Lie down, men!
- Privates! First rank, lie down!
385
00:46:10,184 --> 00:46:13,603
Second rank, kneel!
386
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:34,457
They are coming, boys.
387
00:46:34,750 --> 00:46:38,211
Wait till they get close before you shoot.
388
00:46:42,216 --> 00:46:43,382
Hold your lines!
389
00:46:47,888 --> 00:46:49,889
Halt!
390
00:46:52,851 --> 00:46:55,478
Hold your fire!
391
00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:57,396
Ready!
392
00:46:57,606 --> 00:46:59,565
Aim!
393
00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:06,572
Fire!
394
00:47:08,742 --> 00:47:10,451
Fire! Reload!
395
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:12,912
- Rise up!
- Quickly, boys!
396
00:47:13,747 --> 00:47:14,831
Rise up!
397
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:19,961
Quickly, men! Quickly!
398
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:23,714
Ready!
399
00:47:24,466 --> 00:47:26,175
Aim!
400
00:47:27,928 --> 00:47:36,269
Fire!
401
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:43,442
Reload! Reload, men!
402
00:47:44,444 --> 00:47:46,988
Come on, boys!
Quick and we can whip them!
403
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:50,992
- Easy, men. We have no orders to advance!
- Get back in the ranks!
404
00:47:51,535 --> 00:47:54,871
Steady, men. Steady!
405
00:47:57,082 --> 00:47:58,332
Damn it.
406
00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:01,168
Charge!
407
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:08,134
It's Cummings' boys.
408
00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:13,306
- What are they doing?
- Easy, Mr. Pendleton. Easy.
409
00:48:13,473 --> 00:48:16,183
Good to have your dander up,
but discipline wins the day.
410
00:48:41,752 --> 00:48:45,880
About-face! About-face, men!
Aim! Fire!
411
00:48:47,049 --> 00:48:50,134
For God's sakes, forward!
412
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:05,358
General, sir, the day is going against us.
413
00:49:06,193 --> 00:49:10,404
If you think so, sir, you had better
not say anything about it.
414
00:49:29,508 --> 00:49:31,425
Rise up, rise up!
415
00:49:31,885 --> 00:49:34,011
Rise up, Virginia!
416
00:49:34,179 --> 00:49:39,100
Stand up, you men! Stand up, you free men!
We're gonna charge them.
417
00:49:39,309 --> 00:49:43,062
We're gonna drive them to Washington!
Stand up, Virginia!
418
00:49:45,691 --> 00:49:48,150
1st Brigade...
419
00:49:48,318 --> 00:49:50,069
...reserve your fire...
420
00:49:50,237 --> 00:49:52,905
...till they come within 50 yards...
421
00:49:53,073 --> 00:49:55,408
...then fire!
422
00:49:55,575 --> 00:49:58,285
And give them the bayonet!
423
00:49:58,495 --> 00:50:01,038
And when you charge...
424
00:50:01,206 --> 00:50:02,915
...yell like Furies!
425
00:50:10,048 --> 00:50:14,093
- Ready! Aim!
- Aim!
426
00:50:16,263 --> 00:50:18,472
- Fire!
- Fire!
427
00:50:22,477 --> 00:50:25,771
Charge bayonets!
428
00:50:53,884 --> 00:50:57,595
Charge!
429
00:51:17,866 --> 00:51:20,576
Press on! Press on!
430
00:51:52,859 --> 00:51:55,194
I surrender! I surrender!
431
00:54:10,997 --> 00:54:12,790
General?
432
00:54:14,542 --> 00:54:18,879
How is it you can keep so serene...
433
00:54:19,547 --> 00:54:24,426
...and stay so utterly insensible...
434
00:54:25,345 --> 00:54:29,181
...with a storm of shells and bullets
raining about your head?
435
00:54:29,349 --> 00:54:31,767
Captain Smith...
436
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:37,231
...my religious belief teaches me
to feel as safe in battle as in bed.
437
00:54:37,399 --> 00:54:41,860
God has fixed the time for my death,
I do not concern myself with that...
438
00:54:42,028 --> 00:54:45,698
...but to be always ready,
whenever it may overtake me.
439
00:54:46,533 --> 00:54:49,326
That is the way all men should live.
440
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,538
Then all men would be equally brave.
441
00:55:05,468 --> 00:55:11,223
Preliminary reports for the brigade, sir.
One hundred and eleven dead.
442
00:55:11,433 --> 00:55:15,144
Three hundred seventy-three
wounded or missing.
443
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:18,981
And if I may ask, sir, how's your hand?
444
00:55:19,149 --> 00:55:24,153
Just a spent bullet. No more than
a scratch really, Mr. Pendleton.
445
00:55:24,321 --> 00:55:29,074
I'm more than pleased with the part
performed by the brigade during the action.
446
00:55:29,576 --> 00:55:31,744
Through the blessing of God...
447
00:55:33,038 --> 00:55:37,583
...they met the thus far victorious enemy
and turned the fortunes of the day.
448
00:55:40,378 --> 00:55:42,588
Good evening, gentlemen.
449
00:55:43,089 --> 00:55:44,965
Tomorrow's a new day.
450
00:55:45,592 --> 00:55:47,301
- Evening, general.
- Evening, sir.
451
00:55:47,469 --> 00:55:49,428
Oh, Mr. Pendleton?
452
00:55:49,596 --> 00:55:51,430
Thank you for the report.
453
00:55:54,517 --> 00:55:57,311
I will never forget these men.
454
00:56:14,954 --> 00:56:20,584
Which is it tonight, John?
Hamlet? Richard III? Or the Scottish play?
455
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,669
The schedule's posted.
456
00:56:22,837 --> 00:56:25,798
I'm relieved to see
you've prepared for your role.
457
00:56:26,758 --> 00:56:32,513
I admit, my concentration has been impaired
by the distractions of this war.
458
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,475
Mm.
Then think "winter of our discontent."
459
00:56:37,143 --> 00:56:39,478
And what a glorious summer it will be...
460
00:56:39,646 --> 00:56:42,731
...when the South is free
of these meddling Yankees.
461
00:56:51,324 --> 00:56:53,659
Sometimes when I'm up on that stage...
462
00:56:53,827 --> 00:56:57,871
...brandishing the prop sword
or threatening with the mock word...
463
00:56:58,498 --> 00:57:01,875
...I wonder if it's more farce
than tragedy.
464
00:57:02,043 --> 00:57:04,837
More posturing than art.
465
00:57:06,089 --> 00:57:07,756
Harrison.
466
00:57:08,925 --> 00:57:13,345
As we recite and declaim,
others march and die.
467
00:57:17,183 --> 00:57:18,517
Down in Mississippi...
468
00:57:18,685 --> 00:57:22,354
...when all the other boys went
hunting or fishing, I was reading books...
469
00:57:23,064 --> 00:57:26,066
...learning Shakespeare sonnets by heart.
470
00:57:27,193 --> 00:57:29,236
My daddy said art
was the hardest thing.
471
00:57:29,404 --> 00:57:31,989
That everything else seems
more important at the time...
472
00:57:32,532 --> 00:57:35,534
...but that we needed it more than air.
473
00:57:35,702 --> 00:57:37,369
More than food, even.
474
00:57:38,997 --> 00:57:41,665
So now it's politics instead of hunting.
475
00:57:43,209 --> 00:57:44,668
Same old thing.
476
00:57:45,712 --> 00:57:49,631
Gotta stay concentrated
on what really matters.
477
00:57:51,718 --> 00:57:53,886
Shakespeare matters.
478
00:57:58,808 --> 00:58:00,934
Acting matters.
479
00:58:18,119 --> 00:58:20,537
Gentlemen, new orders
from the War Department.
480
00:58:21,831 --> 00:58:26,919
The Confederate Army's been reorganized
into three districts.
481
00:58:27,253 --> 00:58:30,547
That of the Potomac will remain
under General Beauregard.
482
00:58:30,715 --> 00:58:33,258
The Aquia under General Holmes.
483
00:58:34,636 --> 00:58:39,264
Um, I've been promoted
to major general...
484
00:58:40,016 --> 00:58:43,685
...commanding all forces in and around
the Shenandoah Valley.
485
00:58:44,103 --> 00:58:49,149
The entire army together will now be known
as the Army of Northern Virginia.
486
00:58:50,610 --> 00:58:53,779
Although I am being transferred
to Winchester...
487
00:58:53,947 --> 00:58:57,449
...the brigade must remain here
at Centreville.
488
00:58:58,117 --> 00:58:59,785
Begging your pardon, sir...
489
00:58:59,953 --> 00:59:02,746
...but the men would prefer
remaining under your command.
490
00:59:03,289 --> 00:59:04,790
That's right, sir.
491
00:59:04,958 --> 00:59:08,126
Couldn't the entire brigade be transferred
with you to the valley?
492
00:59:08,294 --> 00:59:13,006
Gentlemen, such a degree
of public respect, confidence...
493
00:59:13,174 --> 00:59:17,594
...as puts it in one's power to serve
his country must be accepted and prized.
494
00:59:17,929 --> 00:59:19,805
But apart from that...
495
00:59:20,098 --> 00:59:22,849
...promotion among men is only
a temptation and a trouble.
496
00:59:23,017 --> 00:59:26,812
Had this not come to me as an order,
I should instantly have declined it...
497
00:59:26,980 --> 00:59:30,399
...continued in command
of my brave old brigade.
498
00:59:31,025 --> 00:59:34,945
Sir, may we hope...
499
00:59:35,738 --> 00:59:39,449
...that a formal entreaty
to the authorities in Richmond...
500
00:59:39,617 --> 00:59:42,744
...may effect a transfer
of the entire brigade to the valley?
501
00:59:42,912 --> 00:59:43,996
Hear, hear.
502
00:59:44,163 --> 00:59:47,332
I'll not stop you
from making such a request.
503
00:59:47,500 --> 00:59:51,169
But for now, we must prepare ourselves.
504
00:59:53,256 --> 00:59:56,174
We shall all have our labors to perform...
505
00:59:56,968 --> 01:00:02,347
...but with the help
of an ever-kindly heavenly father...
506
01:00:02,515 --> 01:00:05,809
...I trust he will enable us
to accomplish them.
507
01:00:07,228 --> 01:00:09,980
Forward!
508
01:00:10,148 --> 01:00:12,316
Rest!
509
01:00:18,323 --> 01:00:21,867
Throughout the broad extent
of the country...
510
01:00:22,035 --> 01:00:24,661
...through which you have marched...
511
01:00:25,872 --> 01:00:30,042
...by your respect for the rights
and property of others...
512
01:00:30,877 --> 01:00:34,421
...you have always shown you are soldiers,
not only to defend...
513
01:00:35,381 --> 01:00:39,176
...but able and willing
both to defend and protect.
514
01:00:39,344 --> 01:00:41,845
You've already won...
515
01:00:43,014 --> 01:00:46,850
...a brilliant reputation throughout the Army
of the whole Confederacy.
516
01:00:47,018 --> 01:00:50,562
And I trust in the future
by your deeds in the field...
517
01:00:51,898 --> 01:00:56,401
...and by the assistance of the same kind
providence who has favored our cause...
518
01:00:56,569 --> 01:01:02,240
...you will win more victories and add
luster to the reputation you now enjoy.
519
01:01:03,868 --> 01:01:07,412
You already gained a proud position...
520
01:01:07,872 --> 01:01:10,916
...in the future history of this...
521
01:01:11,084 --> 01:01:13,919
...our second war of independence.
522
01:01:17,590 --> 01:01:22,094
I shall look with anxiety
to your future movements...
523
01:01:22,553 --> 01:01:26,390
...and I trust whenever I shall hear
of the 1st Brigade...
524
01:01:26,557 --> 01:01:28,725
...on the field of battle...
525
01:01:28,893 --> 01:01:34,606
...it will be of still nobler deeds achieved
and higher reputation won.
526
01:01:39,946 --> 01:01:45,409
In the Army of the Shenandoah,
you were the 1st Brigade.
527
01:01:45,910 --> 01:01:49,287
In the Army of the Potomac,
you were the 1st Brigade.
528
01:01:49,789 --> 01:01:53,959
In the 2nd Corps of this Army,
you are the 1st Brigade.
529
01:01:54,127 --> 01:01:58,714
You are the 1st Brigade
in the affections of your general.
530
01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:04,845
And I hope by your future deeds and bearing
you will be handed down to posterity...
531
01:02:05,638 --> 01:02:08,098
...as the 1st Brigade...
532
01:02:08,266 --> 01:02:11,727
...in this, our second war of independence.
533
01:02:17,734 --> 01:02:19,735
Farewell!
534
01:02:27,660 --> 01:02:31,913
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Jackson!
535
01:02:32,081 --> 01:02:35,041
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson!
536
01:02:41,716 --> 01:02:46,678
The universe itself
is subject to rules, to law.
537
01:02:46,846 --> 01:02:50,849
The super-abounding life lavished
on this world of ours...
538
01:02:51,392 --> 01:02:53,351
...is proof...
539
01:02:53,519 --> 01:02:56,313
...that the play of infinite freedom...
540
01:02:56,481 --> 01:03:01,318
...is here to help work out
the will of infinite law.
541
01:03:01,486 --> 01:03:06,823
The nature of the universe demonstrates...
542
01:03:06,991 --> 01:03:11,328
...that freedom can only exist...
543
01:03:11,496 --> 01:03:13,622
...as part of law.
544
01:03:17,293 --> 01:03:19,377
Pardon me, Professor Chamberlain...
545
01:03:19,545 --> 01:03:23,507
...but how does the study of philosophy
intersect with real life?
546
01:03:24,217 --> 01:03:28,428
If freedom can only exist as a part of law...
547
01:03:28,596 --> 01:03:31,556
...how can we continue to tolerate slavery
protected by law?
548
01:03:47,198 --> 01:03:48,740
Lawrence, I know.
549
01:03:50,535 --> 01:03:51,576
How?
550
01:03:53,412 --> 01:03:57,249
I've noticed the way you've been looking
into the children's room each night.
551
01:04:14,308 --> 01:04:15,559
Blue.
552
01:04:15,726 --> 01:04:19,396
Why blue uniforms? It should be red.
553
01:04:19,564 --> 01:04:24,234
- Like the English, the color of blood.
- Are you angry with me?
554
01:04:24,402 --> 01:04:26,111
Lawrence, my darling Lawrence.
555
01:04:26,779 --> 01:04:29,865
Do you remember when you were
thinking of being a missionary?
556
01:04:30,032 --> 01:04:32,951
And you wrote me saying
that you wished your little wife...
557
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:36,288
...was willing for you to take
whatever course you thought best...
558
01:04:36,455 --> 01:04:39,791
...and was ready to help you
in it with all her heart?
559
01:04:39,959 --> 01:04:43,837
"Little wife."
How could I ever have called you that?
560
01:04:44,005 --> 01:04:46,464
Your spirit is vaster than oceans.
561
01:04:47,466 --> 01:04:49,968
Then you wrote back.
562
01:04:51,971 --> 01:04:55,515
And I have never forgotten
what you said.
563
01:04:56,350 --> 01:04:59,686
You said, "Well, dear, she is willing...
564
01:04:59,854 --> 01:05:05,150
...and she feels that you know better
about the matter than she does."
565
01:05:07,278 --> 01:05:09,321
But now...
566
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:13,033
...I never think I know better than you.
567
01:05:14,619 --> 01:05:18,538
I couldn't bear for you to feel that you
must forever remain at a stand...
568
01:05:18,706 --> 01:05:20,498
...just because you're married.
569
01:05:20,666 --> 01:05:25,086
I always want to help you on
in your excelsior striving.
570
01:05:27,506 --> 01:05:33,511
But I had a dream about you, Lawrence.
Last night.
571
01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:37,515
While you were away,
offering your services to the governor.
572
01:05:39,268 --> 01:05:45,106
I saw you in my dream.
There were boys in blue marching past.
573
01:05:45,399 --> 01:05:50,028
Some of the boys that we know.
574
01:05:50,196 --> 01:05:53,198
And there you were...
575
01:05:53,366 --> 01:05:56,785
...riding ahead of them
on a great, white horse.
576
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:02,540
Fanny, my love, I felt I had to go.
577
01:06:02,708 --> 01:06:06,753
I offered the governor my services,
wherever he wanted to place me.
578
01:06:07,046 --> 01:06:11,132
I thought he'd probably order me
to an officer.
579
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:15,553
- Speeches, administration.
- Oh.
580
01:06:15,721 --> 01:06:17,347
Lawrence...
581
01:06:17,515 --> 01:06:20,809
...I know you.
When you do a thing, you do it à l'outrance.
582
01:06:22,144 --> 01:06:26,815
- So? He gave you a commission, didn't he?
- They need serving officers.
583
01:06:35,866 --> 01:06:38,493
Five new regiments are being formed now.
584
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:43,081
Maine has already sent 15.
How could I refuse?
585
01:06:43,249 --> 01:06:45,917
Poor Lawrence, damn you,
you'll be good at it too.
586
01:06:46,585 --> 01:06:50,630
You'll be good at soldiering just like
you're good at everything else. So go.
587
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,841
Go do your duty to your country's flag...
588
01:06:53,009 --> 01:06:56,761
...go on and get your medals for bravery,
go and get yourself killed.
589
01:07:24,665 --> 01:07:26,332
That poem of Lovelace.
590
01:07:29,462 --> 01:07:35,967
That beautiful, horrible, damnable,
lovely, sad poem.
591
01:07:36,135 --> 01:07:39,304
I think that you recited it in my dream.
592
01:07:40,931 --> 01:07:43,641
Lovelace. "Off to the English Civil War"?
593
01:07:47,438 --> 01:07:50,857
I would not dare presume
to quote it now.
594
01:08:00,659 --> 01:08:05,747
Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind
595
01:08:06,832 --> 01:08:11,086
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
596
01:08:11,253 --> 01:08:13,588
To warlike arms I fly.
597
01:08:14,882 --> 01:08:18,802
True, a new mistress now I serve
598
01:08:18,969 --> 01:08:21,763
The first foe in the field
599
01:08:21,931 --> 01:08:28,019
And with a sterner faith embrace
The sword, a horse, a shield.
600
01:08:32,691 --> 01:08:36,194
Yet this inconstancy is such
601
01:08:36,362 --> 01:08:39,572
As thou too shalt adore.
602
01:08:41,492 --> 01:08:47,997
I could not love thee, dear, so much
603
01:08:50,417 --> 01:08:53,545
Loved I not honor more.
604
01:09:04,890 --> 01:09:07,559
You will be wounded.
605
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,064
You will be changed by the horrors of it.
606
01:09:13,732 --> 01:09:16,151
But you will come home.
607
01:09:16,402 --> 01:09:20,697
I believe that, my love.
You will come home.
608
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:36,254
Come in.
609
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:40,758
You must be Mr. Lewis.
610
01:09:41,177 --> 01:09:44,637
Ha, ha.
There's some that calls me Uncle Jim.
611
01:09:44,847 --> 01:09:48,933
Some calls me Big Jim.
Some folks just calls me Jim.
612
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:52,687
I don't suppose you've heard
any of the names I get called?
613
01:09:52,855 --> 01:09:56,024
I heard Stonewall once.
614
01:09:56,192 --> 01:09:59,777
That name properly belongs
to the 1st Virginia Brigade, not to me.
615
01:09:59,945 --> 01:10:03,781
- They were the ones who earned it.
- Some folks says otherwise.
616
01:10:03,949 --> 01:10:10,455
Folks say men can't fight without
nobody up front to lead them on.
617
01:10:10,623 --> 01:10:14,918
- I'm told you're a first-rate cook.
- Ha, ha. Yes, sir.
618
01:10:15,085 --> 01:10:19,214
They wasn't lying, told you that.
Whatever you likes to eat, I can cook it.
619
01:10:19,423 --> 01:10:23,635
Pan-fry, griddle, boil, bake. Roasted.
620
01:10:24,929 --> 01:10:29,307
And I understand you're from Lexington.
You come highly recommended to me, Jim.
621
01:10:30,226 --> 01:10:34,479
Lexington is my home, general.
Same as yours.
622
01:10:34,647 --> 01:10:38,191
If I could do my share
in defending my home...
623
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,652
...I'd be doing the same as you.
624
01:10:41,070 --> 01:10:44,822
I heard it was Napoleon hisself said:
625
01:10:44,990 --> 01:10:48,743
"An army can't march
but on its stomach."
626
01:10:52,581 --> 01:10:54,832
Well...
627
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,543
If you love your country...
628
01:10:58,087 --> 01:11:00,129
...fear the Lord...
629
01:11:00,297 --> 01:11:04,592
...and have no trouble getting up at
4:00 in the morning, the job is yours.
630
01:11:08,347 --> 01:11:12,725
Yous got yourself a deal, general.
631
01:11:12,935 --> 01:11:15,311
Sir.
632
01:11:32,746 --> 01:11:35,873
My darling esposita.
633
01:11:39,878 --> 01:11:42,380
Welcome to Winchester.
634
01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:45,925
Thomas. Oh.
635
01:11:46,427 --> 01:11:49,637
- Come in out of the cold.
- Why, thank you.
636
01:12:00,149 --> 01:12:03,568
- I have been thinking, Thomas...
- Mm.
637
01:12:05,154 --> 01:12:06,738
...that it may have been a blessing...
638
01:12:06,905 --> 01:12:11,284
...that the Battle of Manassas
was fought on my birthday.
639
01:12:12,286 --> 01:12:14,412
Why is that?
640
01:12:15,205 --> 01:12:20,877
In our old age, you will never forget it.
641
01:12:25,132 --> 01:12:30,011
I will forget my own
before I ever forget yours.
642
01:12:33,932 --> 01:12:35,808
Oh, Anna.
643
01:12:35,976 --> 01:12:37,852
Anna.
644
01:12:39,146 --> 01:12:41,731
What is it, Tom?
645
01:12:42,608 --> 01:12:44,442
What?
646
01:12:49,239 --> 01:12:55,661
Everything in this life seems so fragile.
647
01:12:56,288 --> 01:12:58,206
So temporary.
648
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:05,630
When we are separated, I fear...
649
01:13:05,798 --> 01:13:08,591
...I will never see you again.
650
01:13:10,260 --> 01:13:13,429
I fear we may never have a child.
651
01:13:16,058 --> 01:13:20,520
I fear I may lose you
if we dare to have a child.
652
01:13:20,687 --> 01:13:24,649
I know I should trust in the Lord...
653
01:13:25,484 --> 01:13:31,614
...but then I see the face
of my dear mama...
654
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:38,621
...of my first wife, dead and cold.
655
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:41,040
With our dead darling.
656
01:13:42,376 --> 01:13:46,838
Dead before he could draw
his first breath in this world.
657
01:13:48,257 --> 01:13:49,674
And I am afraid.
658
01:13:51,718 --> 01:13:58,141
And I am afraid to feel happiness.
659
01:13:58,308 --> 01:14:02,520
Afraid to hope for it again.
660
01:14:02,896 --> 01:14:06,899
I am afraid of God's judgment.
661
01:14:08,610 --> 01:14:13,573
We serve a loving God, Thomas.
662
01:14:14,491 --> 01:14:18,035
We are in each other's arms.
663
01:14:18,787 --> 01:14:23,124
We are together,
and we are happy together.
664
01:14:23,292 --> 01:14:27,712
And is our love not proof of his?
665
01:14:29,047 --> 01:14:32,341
We must not fear, Thomas.
666
01:14:33,302 --> 01:14:36,345
We will survive this war.
667
01:14:37,097 --> 01:14:40,057
And we will have a child.
668
01:14:40,893 --> 01:14:43,478
So help us, God.
669
01:15:05,584 --> 01:15:08,044
- Major Gilmore, stop that damn drumming!
- Quiet!
670
01:15:08,212 --> 01:15:11,422
- Stop that damn drumming!
- Quiet!
671
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,142
This is a hell of a regiment.
672
01:15:24,686 --> 01:15:28,481
Men of the 20th Maine Regiment
of Volunteers...
673
01:15:28,690 --> 01:15:32,485
...this is your commanding officer,
Colonel Adelbert Ames.
674
01:15:34,071 --> 01:15:35,738
Quiet! Quiet!
675
01:15:35,948 --> 01:15:39,367
You do not cheer an officer.
676
01:15:39,535 --> 01:15:40,826
You salute him.
677
01:15:41,620 --> 01:15:44,497
20th Maine, I commend you
for the enthusiasm...
678
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:48,000
...that has made you volunteer
for service in President Lincoln's Army.
679
01:15:48,835 --> 01:15:51,921
I can see that many of you
are strong and fit.
680
01:15:52,172 --> 01:15:55,633
We Maine men know that
life in the woods of Maine...
681
01:15:55,801 --> 01:15:58,636
...toughens the muscles
and stretches the sinews.
682
01:15:58,804 --> 01:16:02,223
I've no doubt many of you
have become good shots by hunting deer.
683
01:16:02,474 --> 01:16:07,311
But tough muscles and skillful shooting
are not enough to make a soldier.
684
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,189
That requires discipline.
685
01:16:10,649 --> 01:16:14,694
Major Gilmore tells me you are in the habit
of holding discussions with your officers.
686
01:16:14,987 --> 01:16:17,446
That will cease from now.
687
01:16:17,656 --> 01:16:22,827
An officer's orders are to be obeyed
instantly and without question.
688
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:27,748
This regiment must learn
to move as one man.
689
01:16:28,792 --> 01:16:31,711
Otherwise we will all be killed.
690
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,299
- See if you can teach them to march.
- Yes, sir.
691
01:16:36,466 --> 01:16:38,217
Colonel Chamberlain.
692
01:16:39,803 --> 01:16:41,262
Come with me.
693
01:16:45,684 --> 01:16:49,395
When I say, "20th Maine, attention"...
694
01:16:49,563 --> 01:16:51,856
...you bring your feet together.
695
01:16:52,024 --> 01:16:54,442
Governor Washburn
and Adjutant General Hodgson...
696
01:16:54,610 --> 01:16:56,986
...have sent me
an impressive report about you.
697
01:16:57,154 --> 01:17:00,156
They say you will master
any assignment you're given.
698
01:17:00,532 --> 01:17:03,034
I shall certainly try, sir.
699
01:17:04,703 --> 01:17:07,788
I, uh, understand you were in
the Battle of Bull Run.
700
01:17:07,956 --> 01:17:11,751
Wounded too. It taught me the need
for discipline and proper procedure.
701
01:17:11,918 --> 01:17:14,003
Take the act of shooting, for example.
702
01:17:14,171 --> 01:17:17,882
When you're hunting in the Maine woods
there's no difficulty in loading a rifle.
703
01:17:18,050 --> 01:17:20,593
But in the panic of war,
men act foolishly.
704
01:17:20,761 --> 01:17:24,221
In Bull Run I saw a soldier forget
to remove his ramrod from the barrel.
705
01:17:24,389 --> 01:17:27,350
When he fired,
out it flew with a dismal twang.
706
01:17:27,517 --> 01:17:31,312
He lost the means of firing again
and was killed soon after by a Rebel bullet.
707
01:17:45,952 --> 01:17:48,496
Sergeant Tom Chamberlain
reporting for duty, sir.
708
01:17:48,664 --> 01:17:50,748
Tom, what on earth...?
What are you doing?
709
01:17:50,916 --> 01:17:54,502
I signed up, Lawrence, I'm in this regiment.
I'm coming with you.
710
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:57,421
Did Father approve?
How will he run the farm?
711
01:17:57,589 --> 01:18:00,383
Once he heard you were colonel,
he couldn't say no.
712
01:18:00,550 --> 01:18:03,386
Besides, you know him,
he'll be all right. They both will.
713
01:18:03,553 --> 01:18:05,763
I'm giving them one less thing to cuss at.
714
01:18:05,931 --> 01:18:10,393
Mama said so many prayers for the both
of us, we got nothing to worry about.
715
01:18:10,894 --> 01:18:14,647
Well, I guess I have one more responsibility.
I have to look after you.
716
01:18:15,273 --> 01:18:16,357
Me?
717
01:18:16,525 --> 01:18:19,485
Lawrence, Mama told me
to watch after you.
718
01:18:43,969 --> 01:18:48,931
Just remember, lads, even a tin cup
is a great weight after 20 mile.
719
01:18:49,099 --> 01:18:53,060
Your precarious pegs won't last
if you turn yourselves into pack mules.
720
01:18:53,228 --> 01:18:56,105
And only one leg to a pant, if you please.
721
01:18:56,356 --> 01:18:58,190
You'll soon be at the worn end of it...
722
01:18:58,358 --> 01:19:01,736
...where your formal attire will be
your shirt collar and boots.
723
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,156
In the U.S. Army we have
the School of the Soldier...
724
01:19:05,323 --> 01:19:08,075
...in which the soldier is trained
and by numbers drilled.
725
01:19:08,243 --> 01:19:10,703
Loading a musket
is done in nine movements...
726
01:19:10,871 --> 01:19:13,497
...performed over and over
until they become automatic...
727
01:19:13,665 --> 01:19:16,584
...or, as we call it, loading in nine times.
728
01:19:16,752 --> 01:19:18,461
Aah! I see. Sergeant Chamberlain.
729
01:19:18,628 --> 01:19:20,504
Loading in nine times. Demonstrate this.
730
01:19:20,839 --> 01:19:22,673
Assume the musket has just been fired.
731
01:19:22,841 --> 01:19:25,760
One, reach into cartridge box
and withdraw cartridge.
732
01:19:25,927 --> 01:19:28,888
Two, place cartridge between teeth.
733
01:19:29,055 --> 01:19:30,848
Three, tear paper open.
734
01:19:31,016 --> 01:19:34,685
Four, pour powder into barrel
and charge cartridge.
735
01:19:43,987 --> 01:19:47,865
Five, withdraw the ramrod.
Six, ram the ball home.
736
01:19:48,033 --> 01:19:49,867
Seven, return ramrod.
737
01:19:50,035 --> 01:19:52,369
Eight, half-cock the hammer...
738
01:19:52,537 --> 01:19:54,288
...remove old cap...
739
01:19:54,456 --> 01:19:57,041
...and put a new cap on the cone.
740
01:20:00,086 --> 01:20:02,254
Nine, shoulder arms.
741
01:20:02,923 --> 01:20:04,423
All right, you have the idea.
742
01:20:04,591 --> 01:20:08,677
But this must be done without thinking
and much, much faster.
743
01:20:08,845 --> 01:20:10,304
Here.
744
01:20:10,472 --> 01:20:13,015
One, two, three, four...
745
01:20:13,767 --> 01:20:15,434
...five...
746
01:20:16,728 --> 01:20:18,270
...six...
747
01:20:19,064 --> 01:20:20,898
...seven...
748
01:20:22,818 --> 01:20:24,360
...eight...
749
01:20:25,570 --> 01:20:26,987
...nine.
750
01:20:27,489 --> 01:20:29,782
Practice until you can do it
as fast as that.
751
01:20:29,950 --> 01:20:32,576
It may save your lives. Colonel.
752
01:20:35,372 --> 01:20:38,791
Line of battle consists of two lines of men,
one behind the other...
753
01:20:38,959 --> 01:20:41,961
...so that while one line fires,
the other reloads.
754
01:20:42,128 --> 01:20:47,341
Behind them is a line of, uh, file closers.
Lieutenants and sergeants.
755
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:50,094
But two lines make a regiment
unwieldy on the move...
756
01:20:50,262 --> 01:20:52,555
...so we need to switch to column of fours.
757
01:20:52,722 --> 01:20:56,267
We need to be able to change from
column of fours to line of battle...
758
01:20:56,434 --> 01:20:58,102
...and back again quickly.
759
01:20:58,270 --> 01:21:01,564
It is not difficult to move from line of battle
into column of fours.
760
01:21:01,731 --> 01:21:05,025
It is harder to move from
column of fours into line of battle...
761
01:21:05,193 --> 01:21:09,071
...and if we're called to make that move,
it will be when we're under fire.
762
01:21:09,239 --> 01:21:13,701
You understand how important it is that
these moves are learned so thoroughly...
763
01:21:13,869 --> 01:21:17,079
...that the men can perform them
in their sleep.
764
01:21:26,631 --> 01:21:28,966
Company...
765
01:21:29,634 --> 01:21:31,552
...halt!
766
01:21:32,554 --> 01:21:35,890
Company, front!
767
01:21:39,853 --> 01:21:42,313
Order arms!
768
01:21:52,282 --> 01:21:54,825
Well done, colonel. That's a beginning.
769
01:21:54,993 --> 01:21:58,287
But that move must be practiced
and practiced and practiced.
770
01:21:58,496 --> 01:22:00,372
Another month and we'll be ready.
771
01:22:00,540 --> 01:22:03,500
But we leave for Washington tomorrow.
772
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,550
Shoulder arms!
773
01:22:13,803 --> 01:22:17,890
Company, forward march!
774
01:22:32,181 --> 01:22:32,781
Gentlemen...
775
01:22:33,438 --> 01:22:36,791
It's only September.
Too soon for winter camp.
776
01:22:37,035 --> 01:22:39,370
We have the momentum.
777
01:22:39,746 --> 01:22:42,539
I propose we advance our army
north into Maryland...
778
01:22:42,707 --> 01:22:45,960
...because there the farms are plentiful
and nearly untouched.
779
01:22:46,211 --> 01:22:49,964
And with a fall harvest,
we could feed our troops very well indeed.
780
01:22:50,131 --> 01:22:52,549
And there is one other consideration.
781
01:22:52,717 --> 01:22:55,636
Maryland is being held in the Union
by force.
782
01:22:55,804 --> 01:22:59,890
Our arrival may be viewed as a liberation.
783
01:23:00,058 --> 01:23:02,851
We might receive some hospitality.
784
01:23:03,019 --> 01:23:06,981
Might even receive a number of volunteers
for service in the Army.
785
01:23:07,148 --> 01:23:11,151
General, might this not be considered
an invasion?
786
01:23:11,319 --> 01:23:13,988
I don't believe so, general. No, sir.
787
01:23:14,155 --> 01:23:16,073
With the Federal invasion of Virginia...
788
01:23:16,241 --> 01:23:18,909
...the Confederacy proved
who's the aggressor here.
789
01:23:19,077 --> 01:23:20,911
We did not bring this war...
790
01:23:21,079 --> 01:23:24,331
...and we fight now only to free the South
of Federal occupation.
791
01:23:26,209 --> 01:23:28,002
As I've said many times...
792
01:23:28,169 --> 01:23:32,464
...if Washington will end their side
of the fighting and recall their armies...
793
01:23:32,632 --> 01:23:34,425
...this war will be over.
794
01:23:35,051 --> 01:23:37,094
But in the meantime...
795
01:23:37,762 --> 01:23:40,514
...we must show the enemy
that they cannot win.
796
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:42,558
Cannot win.
797
01:23:42,726 --> 01:23:46,812
Now, by moving into Maryland, we'd be
in a position to push into Pennsylvania.
798
01:23:46,980 --> 01:23:51,734
And so far, gentlemen,
the bloody fields are Southern fields.
799
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,611
If we threaten the Northern cities...
800
01:23:54,779 --> 01:23:58,115
...if we threaten to bring the blood
into the North...
801
01:23:59,826 --> 01:24:02,161
...there'll be pressure on Lincoln
to end this war.
802
01:24:02,328 --> 01:24:03,704
Amen.
803
01:24:04,998 --> 01:24:09,043
Our presence, just the threat,
could be sufficient.
804
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:10,377
General Lee...
805
01:24:10,879 --> 01:24:15,674
...we'd be cutting ourselves off from
our base of supplies, communications.
806
01:24:15,842 --> 01:24:17,676
We'd be vulnerable from the rear, sir.
807
01:24:17,844 --> 01:24:21,138
General Longstreet, you marched
into Mexico with General Scott?
808
01:24:21,765 --> 01:24:22,848
Yes, sir.
809
01:24:23,016 --> 01:24:26,727
Did not General Scott cut himself off
from his supplies and communication?
810
01:24:27,312 --> 01:24:31,440
And by so doing,
did he not bring a rapid end to that war?
811
01:24:31,941 --> 01:24:34,693
And did he not accomplish all of that
in a foreign land?
812
01:24:35,695 --> 01:24:37,988
Well, this is not a foreign land.
813
01:24:38,156 --> 01:24:42,034
The citizens will see we're not coming
to vandalize as the Yankees did to us.
814
01:24:42,202 --> 01:24:44,161
We've come to end the war quickly...
815
01:24:44,329 --> 01:24:47,081
...and without any need
to conquer or subdue anyone.
816
01:24:49,834 --> 01:24:52,377
We proved our superiority
on the battlefield.
817
01:24:52,545 --> 01:24:55,798
That superiority may be
all we need, gentlemen.
818
01:24:55,965 --> 01:24:58,092
All we need.
819
01:24:58,259 --> 01:25:00,636
- General Lee?
- Yes.
820
01:25:00,804 --> 01:25:03,806
Pleased to hear we're finally
taking the war to the enemy.
821
01:25:03,973 --> 01:25:06,683
Let them feel the scourge
of this war that they began.
822
01:25:06,851 --> 01:25:08,435
Yes, sir.
823
01:25:08,812 --> 01:25:12,106
His torch is at thy temple door
824
01:25:12,524 --> 01:25:16,318
Maryland, my Maryland
825
01:25:16,486 --> 01:25:20,614
Avenge the patriotic gore
826
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:24,493
That flecked the streets of Baltimore
827
01:25:24,661 --> 01:25:29,039
And be the battle queen of yore
828
01:25:29,207 --> 01:25:33,252
Maryland, my Maryland
829
01:25:45,265 --> 01:25:48,433
Morning to you, sir.
Colonel Ames sent me to get you.
830
01:25:48,601 --> 01:25:52,771
- Said you might be needing a drop of this.
- Ah. Thank you...
831
01:25:52,981 --> 01:25:58,152
Kilrain, sir. Sergeant Kilrain.
Glad to be of service.
832
01:25:59,154 --> 01:26:01,280
You know, colonel, uh...
833
01:26:01,447 --> 01:26:03,740
...the boys...
834
01:26:03,908 --> 01:26:06,285
We've been watching you, sir,
that we have.
835
01:26:06,786 --> 01:26:10,539
You've learned fast.
Becoming a pleasure to serve under you.
836
01:26:10,707 --> 01:26:12,457
Yes, well, ahem....
837
01:26:12,625 --> 01:26:14,877
Are you a, uh, veteran, sergeant?
838
01:26:15,044 --> 01:26:17,796
Aye, sir. I suppose you could say that.
839
01:26:17,964 --> 01:26:20,465
Did me duty in the regular Army
for a while.
840
01:26:20,758 --> 01:26:25,470
Did the great long walk with General Scott,
down south of the Rio Grande.
841
01:26:25,972 --> 01:26:30,642
Uh, some men you fought with are on
the other side. Almost all of their generals.
842
01:26:30,935 --> 01:26:34,313
Oh, it gets worse than generals, colonel.
843
01:26:34,480 --> 01:26:39,776
Some of the lads that I left Ireland with
are on the other side as well. Imagine that.
844
01:26:39,944 --> 01:26:42,321
We left together to escape a tyranny...
845
01:26:42,864 --> 01:26:46,825
...and end up shooting at one another
in the land of the free.
846
01:26:50,121 --> 01:26:53,290
I, too, have friends
on the other side, sergeant.
847
01:26:54,667 --> 01:26:56,001
And enemies.
848
01:26:57,003 --> 01:26:58,670
Yes, sir.
849
01:26:58,838 --> 01:27:02,466
No shortage of enemies, that's for sure.
850
01:27:10,308 --> 01:27:11,934
We're ordered to remain in place.
851
01:27:12,101 --> 01:27:14,394
The army is spreading out
a couple miles up.
852
01:27:14,562 --> 01:27:16,897
The enemy is dug in
behind a small creek.
853
01:27:17,065 --> 01:27:19,900
Antietam Creek,
just this side of Sharpsburg.
854
01:27:20,068 --> 01:27:22,319
We may be put into the battle
at any time.
855
01:27:22,487 --> 01:27:26,073
For now, get the men to step it up,
finish breakfast and wait for orders.
856
01:27:26,241 --> 01:27:28,325
- Got that?
- Certainly, colonel.
857
01:27:33,498 --> 01:27:36,833
Whose guns are those?
Has the attack begun?
858
01:27:37,543 --> 01:27:41,713
Likely it's the first feeling-out,
probing, testing of strength.
859
01:27:42,382 --> 01:27:44,675
It's a game to the artillery boys...
860
01:27:44,842 --> 01:27:47,844
...letting you know they can hit you
when the time comes.
861
01:27:50,265 --> 01:27:53,308
Lawrence. Lawrence, lookie here.
862
01:27:53,559 --> 01:27:55,477
This is what we've been eating
every day.
863
01:27:56,354 --> 01:27:59,106
But you know what?
I've gained some weight.
864
01:27:59,274 --> 01:28:01,942
Hard to believe a man could
gain some weight on a diet of worms.
865
01:28:04,445 --> 01:28:07,322
Well, best eat up, sergeant.
We're moving out.
866
01:28:38,146 --> 01:28:39,771
Good morning, sir.
867
01:28:39,939 --> 01:28:42,899
The Yankees are coming thick and fast
in the woods before us.
868
01:28:43,693 --> 01:28:45,110
We're making it hot for them.
869
01:28:45,695 --> 01:28:48,071
We must hold this ridge. We must.
870
01:28:48,239 --> 01:28:49,573
So pour it to them, Reverend.
871
01:28:50,450 --> 01:28:51,616
Sir.
872
01:28:54,037 --> 01:28:56,538
Sir, it's me, Rob.
873
01:28:56,831 --> 01:28:58,832
My dear son. How are you, boy?
874
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:00,250
I'm well, sir.
875
01:29:00,418 --> 01:29:04,004
I congratulate you for being
in the fight and unhurt.
876
01:29:04,172 --> 01:29:06,214
May God keep you so.
877
01:29:06,549 --> 01:29:10,052
And remember, son, we must do
all we can to drive these people back.
878
01:29:10,219 --> 01:29:12,888
Yes, sir. We'll do our best, sir.
879
01:29:13,222 --> 01:29:14,306
Fire!
880
01:29:53,596 --> 01:29:57,265
Mr. Pendleton, ride to General Hood,
ask him can he maintain his position?
881
01:29:57,433 --> 01:30:00,143
Yes, sir, can he maintain his position?
882
01:30:00,311 --> 01:30:02,729
Hyah, hyah!
883
01:30:09,654 --> 01:30:10,821
Fire!
884
01:30:15,576 --> 01:30:16,827
Reload!
885
01:30:18,413 --> 01:30:19,538
Fire!
886
01:30:21,666 --> 01:30:23,667
It's good to be sergeant, isn't it?
887
01:30:23,835 --> 01:30:26,545
To shoot a sergeant,
you have to fire through two men.
888
01:30:26,712 --> 01:30:30,966
A sergeant never fires his weapon
until the men in front of him are killed...
889
01:30:31,134 --> 01:30:34,052
...and then only unless
you want to show off.
890
01:30:41,102 --> 01:30:44,104
Chamberlain, move the men into this field
and wait for further orders.
891
01:30:44,272 --> 01:30:45,730
We're part of the reserve.
892
01:30:47,066 --> 01:30:50,193
- Battalion, forward!
- Forward!
893
01:30:53,739 --> 01:30:55,198
March!
894
01:31:17,180 --> 01:31:18,722
Compliments from General Jackson.
895
01:31:18,890 --> 01:31:21,057
He wants to know,
can you maintain position?
896
01:31:21,225 --> 01:31:24,394
Tell General Jackson
unless I get reinforcements...
897
01:31:24,562 --> 01:31:26,062
...I must be forced back.
898
01:31:26,230 --> 01:31:28,482
But I'm going on while I can.
899
01:31:28,816 --> 01:31:31,067
Yes, sir. Reinforcements. Yes, sir.
900
01:31:39,076 --> 01:31:40,452
- Load!
- Load!
901
01:31:42,538 --> 01:31:44,164
Take aim!
902
01:31:44,624 --> 01:31:45,749
Fire!
903
01:31:48,836 --> 01:31:50,378
Forward, men, forward!
904
01:31:50,546 --> 01:31:51,671
Fire!
905
01:32:16,113 --> 01:32:18,907
- General McClellan, sir.
- General Hancock.
906
01:32:19,075 --> 01:32:21,743
Had you heard that General Richardson
had been wounded?
907
01:32:21,911 --> 01:32:23,119
I heard he'd been wounded.
908
01:32:23,412 --> 01:32:26,790
I'm sorry to tell you it is serious
and you will assume his command.
909
01:32:26,958 --> 01:32:29,626
Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
910
01:32:29,794 --> 01:32:31,545
I'm honored to accept the command.
911
01:32:31,963 --> 01:32:33,713
I'm sure you will perform this duty...
912
01:32:33,881 --> 01:32:36,424
...with the skill and courage
you have shown already.
913
01:32:36,801 --> 01:32:41,721
We are on the move now, and we will drive
the Rebels into the river before the sun sets.
914
01:32:41,889 --> 01:32:44,724
Hold this position against
any assault by the enemy.
915
01:32:57,113 --> 01:32:58,405
Reply from General Hood:
916
01:32:58,573 --> 01:33:01,908
"Tell Jackson unless I get reinforcements,
I must be forced back."
917
01:33:02,076 --> 01:33:04,327
- But he will go on while he can.
- Good, good.
918
01:33:04,495 --> 01:33:06,371
General McLaws, advance your...
919
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:19,009
Captain Morrison.
920
01:33:19,176 --> 01:33:21,803
I think it advisable
you keep your distance from me.
921
01:33:21,971 --> 01:33:26,349
It would not do for Anna to lose both
a husband and a brother on the same day.
922
01:33:37,945 --> 01:33:41,197
Battalion, halt!
923
01:33:44,702 --> 01:33:47,120
The battle may be moving our way.
Keep them ready.
924
01:33:47,288 --> 01:33:48,371
Yes, sir.
925
01:34:10,853 --> 01:34:13,980
Courtesy of a lady admirer in Sharpsburg.
926
01:34:26,035 --> 01:34:28,787
Think we can hold out
against another attack?
927
01:34:28,954 --> 01:34:31,164
I think they have done their worst.
928
01:34:31,999 --> 01:34:34,793
I think there's little danger
of our line being broken.
929
01:34:54,438 --> 01:34:56,648
We won't be needed today, colonel.
930
01:35:01,529 --> 01:35:06,741
The 5th Corps was not
needed today, gentlemen.
931
01:35:09,870 --> 01:35:14,040
Not according to the judgment
of our commanding general.
932
01:35:15,042 --> 01:35:17,794
The battle has been extremely costly.
933
01:35:18,212 --> 01:35:22,549
The enemy has been checked,
at great loss to both sides.
934
01:35:24,051 --> 01:35:28,012
From what we can observe so far,
we've gained little.
935
01:35:29,473 --> 01:35:31,850
It's possible the fight
will resume tomorrow.
936
01:35:46,866 --> 01:35:50,493
He that created us
gave us such strong argument...
937
01:35:50,661 --> 01:35:55,665
...starting before and after,
gave us not capabilities...
938
01:35:55,833 --> 01:36:00,503
...and divine reason
to fust inside of us unused.
939
01:36:01,672 --> 01:36:06,301
Now, whether it be bestial oblivion,
or some craven scruple...
940
01:36:06,469 --> 01:36:08,678
...of thinking too precisely
on the event...
941
01:36:08,846 --> 01:36:11,848
...a thought which, quartered,
hath but one part one wisdom...
942
01:36:12,016 --> 01:36:14,434
...and ever three parts coward...
943
01:36:15,269 --> 01:36:20,607
...I do not know why yet I live to say
"This thing's to do"...
944
01:36:20,775 --> 01:36:27,030
...sith I have cause and will and strength
and means to do it.
945
01:36:27,198 --> 01:36:29,657
Examples gross as earth exhort me:
946
01:36:29,825 --> 01:36:34,287
Witness this army
of such mass and charge...
947
01:36:34,455 --> 01:36:37,791
...led by a delicate and tender prince...
948
01:36:38,167 --> 01:36:42,045
...whose spirit
with divine ambition puffed...
949
01:36:42,213 --> 01:36:46,049
...makes mouths at the invisible event...
950
01:36:46,217 --> 01:36:49,052
...exposing what is mortal and unsure...
951
01:36:49,220 --> 01:36:56,017
...to all that death and danger dare,
even for an egg-shell.
952
01:36:56,894 --> 01:36:59,729
Rightly to be great
is not to stir without great argument...
953
01:36:59,897 --> 01:37:04,192
...but greatly to find quarrel in a straw
when honor's at the stake.
954
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:06,861
How stand I then...
955
01:37:07,780 --> 01:37:10,281
...that have a father killed...
956
01:37:10,866 --> 01:37:12,951
...a mother stained...
957
01:37:13,118 --> 01:37:15,537
...excitements of my reason
and my blood...
958
01:37:15,704 --> 01:37:18,456
...and let all sleep?
959
01:37:18,624 --> 01:37:21,584
While, to my shame, I see...
960
01:37:21,752 --> 01:37:26,172
...the imminent death of 20,000 men...
961
01:37:27,049 --> 01:37:29,634
...that, for a fantasy or trick of fame...
962
01:37:29,802 --> 01:37:34,556
...go to their graves like beds,
fight for a plot...
963
01:37:35,724 --> 01:37:38,017
...whereon the numbers
cannot try the cause...
964
01:37:40,271 --> 01:37:44,524
...which is not tomb enough or continent
to hide the slain?
965
01:37:45,067 --> 01:37:50,280
O, from this time forth...
966
01:37:51,907 --> 01:37:54,701
...my thoughts be bloody...
967
01:37:55,202 --> 01:37:58,121
...or be nothing worth.
968
01:38:06,422 --> 01:38:08,506
He's mad. Did you see this?
969
01:38:08,674 --> 01:38:11,301
It's nothing less than a call
for a slave uprising.
970
01:38:11,468 --> 01:38:15,471
Darling, I hardly ever get to see you.
971
01:38:15,639 --> 01:38:18,141
Can't we put away the paper
this one evening?
972
01:38:18,309 --> 01:38:20,977
It'll put you in the foulest mood.
It always does.
973
01:38:21,145 --> 01:38:23,396
Well, here. Read it for yourself.
974
01:38:23,564 --> 01:38:27,066
Lincoln plans a general emancipation
on New Year's Day...
975
01:38:27,985 --> 01:38:30,528
...for all slaves
from states still in rebellion.
976
01:38:30,696 --> 01:38:36,117
Yet another page from the Constitution
torn to shreds.
977
01:38:36,619 --> 01:38:39,537
But this is harmless, John.
978
01:38:39,705 --> 01:38:41,789
See, it says right here:
979
01:38:41,957 --> 01:38:46,044
"An emancipation of all slaves
from the states still in rebellion."
980
01:38:46,211 --> 01:38:47,420
But can't you see?
981
01:38:47,671 --> 01:38:52,467
Those are the very states where the
president has no authority and no power.
982
01:38:54,094 --> 01:38:57,096
Why, yes. You're quite right.
983
01:38:57,473 --> 01:38:59,849
I hadn't considered it in that light.
984
01:39:00,434 --> 01:39:06,147
Now, can we fold up the paper
into a nice little square...
985
01:39:06,357 --> 01:39:09,567
...so that I can cut it up
into a hundred little pieces...
986
01:39:09,735 --> 01:39:11,527
...and throw it into the street?
987
01:39:13,238 --> 01:39:14,656
Hmm.
988
01:39:15,574 --> 01:39:19,577
Boyo, another round, if you please.
989
01:39:38,931 --> 01:39:43,393
Now, it says here in Blackmantle's
Art of Punning...
990
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:48,564
...that "punning is an art of harmonious
jingling upon words...
991
01:39:48,732 --> 01:39:52,485
...which, passing in at the ears
and falling upon the diaphragm...
992
01:39:52,653 --> 01:39:56,447
...excites a titillary motion
in those parts...
993
01:39:58,075 --> 01:40:02,578
...and this, being conveyed by the animal
spirits into the muscles of the face...
994
01:40:02,746 --> 01:40:05,081
...raises the cockles of the heart."
995
01:40:07,251 --> 01:40:09,752
All right, then. Is everyone ready?
996
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,255
- Sure, why not?
- Yes, sir.
997
01:40:12,423 --> 01:40:14,590
Counties of England.
998
01:40:14,758 --> 01:40:18,219
Who has the most dogs?
999
01:40:22,725 --> 01:40:24,267
Bark-shire.
1000
01:40:24,435 --> 01:40:27,061
- Ha, ha.
- Well done.
1001
01:40:27,771 --> 01:40:30,356
And from where did
the first hermaphrodites come from?
1002
01:40:32,026 --> 01:40:34,736
Oh. Um, Middlesex.
1003
01:40:35,863 --> 01:40:39,157
Yeah. And from whence
the first circus tumblers came?
1004
01:40:40,951 --> 01:40:42,952
Circus tumblers?
1005
01:40:45,456 --> 01:40:50,835
Somerset.
1006
01:40:51,003 --> 01:40:52,837
- Oh, Lord.
- Somerset.
1007
01:40:54,006 --> 01:40:56,466
Well, I can see you've all learned
rule number six:
1008
01:40:56,633 --> 01:40:59,719
Never speak well of another punster
and never laugh at his puns.
1009
01:41:01,805 --> 01:41:02,889
Somerset.
1010
01:41:05,809 --> 01:41:07,894
The Rebel sharpshooters
was in the house.
1011
01:41:08,062 --> 01:41:10,980
That's what made them Yankees
shell it so.
1012
01:41:11,482 --> 01:41:14,150
- Where was this?
- Outside Winchester.
1013
01:41:14,318 --> 01:41:18,863
Them Yankees been through that town
more times than there is flies on a mule.
1014
01:41:19,073 --> 01:41:20,490
Mm.
1015
01:41:20,824 --> 01:41:22,200
Where's your master now?
1016
01:41:23,827 --> 01:41:25,661
I ain't got no master no more.
1017
01:41:25,829 --> 01:41:27,580
Now he my boss.
1018
01:41:28,165 --> 01:41:31,501
See, I was sold at auction
over in Fredericksburg once...
1019
01:41:31,668 --> 01:41:34,879
...and he bought me for $1,200.
1020
01:41:35,589 --> 01:41:39,008
Then the war come,
that didn't set right with him...
1021
01:41:39,176 --> 01:41:41,052
...so he gave me my freedom papers.
1022
01:41:42,179 --> 01:41:44,514
Now he pays me wages.
1023
01:41:44,932 --> 01:41:47,725
- No, sir.
- Thirty dollars a month.
1024
01:41:48,227 --> 01:41:49,268
What he pay you for?
1025
01:41:50,104 --> 01:41:52,939
I can do anything I turn my hands to.
1026
01:41:53,232 --> 01:41:55,691
Then them Yankees come
and burned down his house...
1027
01:41:55,859 --> 01:41:59,028
...and the next thing you know,
the man who's paying me wages...
1028
01:41:59,196 --> 01:42:03,407
...is in the Confederate Army.
And so am I.
1029
01:42:07,454 --> 01:42:10,373
- Man, that's good!
- Let's do this thing right here.
1030
01:42:10,791 --> 01:42:13,501
Hey, come on. Check it.
1031
01:42:24,346 --> 01:42:26,139
No, no, no. Gentlemen.
1032
01:42:26,682 --> 01:42:28,307
Stay where you are.
1033
01:42:28,976 --> 01:42:30,685
Greetings.
1034
01:42:31,728 --> 01:42:33,271
General.
1035
01:42:37,317 --> 01:42:39,902
How is our fine Prussian officer
this evening?
1036
01:42:40,070 --> 01:42:43,281
I would've thought General Stuart
would've had you at least...
1037
01:42:43,448 --> 01:42:45,366
...20 miles behind enemy lines...
1038
01:42:45,534 --> 01:42:48,411
...creating havoc and bewilderment
in Washington.
1039
01:42:50,664 --> 01:42:53,791
I would certainly prefer such a mission.
1040
01:42:54,418 --> 01:42:56,169
But tonight...
1041
01:42:57,045 --> 01:43:01,549
...tonight, general,
I come bringing you a present.
1042
01:43:02,426 --> 01:43:04,260
General Jackson...
1043
01:43:04,428 --> 01:43:08,055
...I am greatly pleased to bring
this present from General Stuart.
1044
01:43:09,099 --> 01:43:15,188
The general has gone to great lengths
to secure for you this.
1045
01:43:16,940 --> 01:43:19,775
Would you like for me
to open that for you, sir?
1046
01:43:21,111 --> 01:43:22,612
Thank you.
1047
01:43:33,624 --> 01:43:34,957
General.
1048
01:43:36,460 --> 01:43:38,961
This is some fine material. Look here.
1049
01:43:40,297 --> 01:43:42,131
That's gold braid.
1050
01:43:47,804 --> 01:43:51,849
You may tell General Stuart
that I deeply appreciate this gift.
1051
01:43:52,017 --> 01:43:54,268
Please assure the general...
1052
01:43:54,436 --> 01:43:57,021
...I will treat it with the utmost of care...
1053
01:43:57,648 --> 01:44:00,107
...and see that no harm comes to it.
1054
01:44:06,156 --> 01:44:09,617
Mr. Pendleton, will you kindly
place that uniform in my tent.
1055
01:44:09,952 --> 01:44:12,954
- And keep it neatly folded.
- Sir.
1056
01:44:13,121 --> 01:44:15,164
No, general, no.
1057
01:44:16,208 --> 01:44:18,167
You do not understand.
1058
01:44:18,710 --> 01:44:22,296
General Stuart was most insistent.
1059
01:44:23,632 --> 01:44:27,301
He says now that you are
a leutnant general...
1060
01:44:28,136 --> 01:44:30,930
...corps commander,
you deserve a new uniform.
1061
01:44:31,223 --> 01:44:34,016
He was most insistent you try it on.
1062
01:44:34,559 --> 01:44:38,187
He will certainly ask, "How was the fit?"
1063
01:44:40,023 --> 01:44:42,441
Please, general.
1064
01:44:43,485 --> 01:44:44,735
Try it on.
1065
01:45:15,392 --> 01:45:19,562
General, that's some mighty fine coat.
Ha, ha.
1066
01:46:04,191 --> 01:46:07,568
That is the sweetest music I ever heard.
1067
01:46:27,631 --> 01:46:29,715
Ah, gentlemen.
1068
01:46:30,300 --> 01:46:31,884
Excuse us, General Burnside...
1069
01:46:32,052 --> 01:46:35,054
...General Hancock has information
you may find useful.
1070
01:46:35,222 --> 01:46:38,974
Yes, General Hancock, a pleasure.
Sumner, come.
1071
01:46:39,142 --> 01:46:40,559
We have visitors.
1072
01:46:40,727 --> 01:46:45,022
Sir, General Hancock reports the river
can be forded the short way upstream.
1073
01:46:45,190 --> 01:46:50,736
There'll be no difficulty crossing. With
your permission, we can move right away.
1074
01:46:50,904 --> 01:46:54,198
General Hancock, I appreciate your efforts
at reconnaissance...
1075
01:46:54,366 --> 01:46:57,993
...but this possibility has been
considered and rejected.
1076
01:46:58,161 --> 01:47:00,037
The pontoons will be here any time.
1077
01:47:00,205 --> 01:47:03,749
We'll cross with not only the men
but also the wagons and supplies.
1078
01:47:03,917 --> 01:47:07,753
It would be foolhardy to send the men
without the wagons, the big guns...
1079
01:47:07,921 --> 01:47:10,339
Excuse me, am I correct
in my observation...
1080
01:47:10,507 --> 01:47:13,759
...that there's little force opposing us
across the river?
1081
01:47:13,927 --> 01:47:15,594
Yes, you're absolutely correct.
1082
01:47:15,762 --> 01:47:18,347
For once we seem to have caught
Lee by surprise.
1083
01:47:18,515 --> 01:47:23,686
Then, sir, if I may suggest,
isn't it possible Lee is moving this way?
1084
01:47:24,354 --> 01:47:28,816
Certainly he's aware of our intentions.
If we could occupy the town with infantry...
1085
01:47:28,984 --> 01:47:32,528
...it would make our job much easier
when the bridges do arrive.
1086
01:47:32,696 --> 01:47:36,365
Yes, but that's risky. Those men
could be cut off. In this weather?
1087
01:47:36,533 --> 01:47:40,202
It snows one day, melts the next.
The river could rise unexpectedly.
1088
01:47:40,370 --> 01:47:45,166
It will be best, I assure you, if we wait
until the entire Army can cross together.
1089
01:47:45,333 --> 01:47:48,210
General Burnside, if we don't cross
the river soon...
1090
01:47:48,378 --> 01:47:51,213
...General Lee will make every effort
to stop us.
1091
01:47:51,798 --> 01:47:54,550
He will not let us move
toward Richmond unopposed.
1092
01:47:54,718 --> 01:47:56,886
Where are General Jackson's forces now?
1093
01:47:57,053 --> 01:47:59,638
Shouldn't we attempt to occupy
Fredericksburg...
1094
01:47:59,806 --> 01:48:04,310
...and possibly the Heights beyond now,
while we have it for the taking?
1095
01:48:04,478 --> 01:48:10,024
Please allow me, sir, to at least send
General Hancock's division across the river.
1096
01:48:10,192 --> 01:48:13,235
Surely they can carry
enough supplies with them...
1097
01:48:13,403 --> 01:48:18,657
...and the artillery from this side can protect
them against any advance by Lee.
1098
01:48:20,494 --> 01:48:26,916
Gentlemen, we will cross this river
when the bridges arrive and not before.
1099
01:48:27,083 --> 01:48:30,711
I do not have the luxury of deviating
from the larger plan.
1100
01:48:30,879 --> 01:48:34,089
The president approved my strategy,
and I shall stick to it.
1101
01:48:34,257 --> 01:48:40,012
Once this Army is across the river,
we will advance on Richmond in force.
1102
01:48:41,515 --> 01:48:43,599
We must not allow him...
1103
01:48:43,767 --> 01:48:48,354
...the luxury of attacking us as divided and
separated units as he's done in the past.
1104
01:48:48,522 --> 01:48:51,941
And I will not make the same mistake
as my predecessors.
1105
01:48:52,108 --> 01:48:55,027
So no, General Hancock.
1106
01:48:55,195 --> 01:48:58,572
You will stay on this side
until the pontoons are in place...
1107
01:48:58,740 --> 01:49:02,368
...and the entire Army crosses together.
1108
01:49:02,536 --> 01:49:06,747
An irresistible, impregnable force.
1109
01:49:13,547 --> 01:49:17,800
Did you know, general? George Washington
spent his boyhood not far from here?
1110
01:49:18,385 --> 01:49:22,388
And across that river, he's supposed
to have thrown that silver dollar...
1111
01:49:22,556 --> 01:49:25,474
...and cut down that cherry tree.
1112
01:49:25,892 --> 01:49:30,813
That may be so, Mr. Taylor, but it has
an even greater significance for me.
1113
01:49:31,064 --> 01:49:33,399
It's where I met my wife.
1114
01:49:33,567 --> 01:49:37,361
That's something these Yankees
do not understand, will never understand.
1115
01:49:37,988 --> 01:49:41,323
You see these rivers and valleys
and streams...
1116
01:49:41,491 --> 01:49:44,159
...and fields, even towns?
1117
01:49:44,327 --> 01:49:48,998
They're just markings on a map to those
people in the war office in Washington.
1118
01:49:49,165 --> 01:49:54,503
But to us, my goodness,
they're birthplaces and burial grounds.
1119
01:49:54,671 --> 01:49:57,590
They're battlefields
where our ancestors fought...
1120
01:49:57,757 --> 01:50:01,302
...places where you and I learned
to walk, to talk and to pray.
1121
01:50:01,511 --> 01:50:07,182
Places where we made friendships
and, oh, yes, fell in love.
1122
01:50:08,435 --> 01:50:13,522
And they're the incarnation
of all our memories, Mr. Taylor...
1123
01:50:15,066 --> 01:50:17,610
...and all that we are.
1124
01:50:18,445 --> 01:50:20,946
All that we are.
1125
01:50:53,563 --> 01:50:57,566
- What place is this?
- Chancellor's Crossing.
1126
01:50:57,734 --> 01:51:01,153
We're another two hours or so
from Fredericksburg.
1127
01:51:01,821 --> 01:51:04,323
We'll rest here for a short time.
1128
01:51:04,491 --> 01:51:07,910
Yes, sir. I'll see what
the good folks can provide.
1129
01:51:16,753 --> 01:51:20,506
The general be fixing to eat
something warm?
1130
01:51:20,674 --> 01:51:22,424
No, no, Jim.
1131
01:51:22,592 --> 01:51:25,844
We gotta ride on straight
through to General Lee.
1132
01:51:26,012 --> 01:51:29,014
Don't want to get all warmed up
just to feel the cold all over again.
1133
01:51:31,601 --> 01:51:34,019
You never seem to mind the cold much.
1134
01:51:34,187 --> 01:51:38,691
Oh. I minds it. I just don't shows it.
1135
01:51:40,276 --> 01:51:43,779
Now, Little Sorrel,
I know this corn look poorly...
1136
01:51:43,947 --> 01:51:47,616
...but it sure beats no corn at all.
1137
01:51:55,041 --> 01:51:58,210
You heard from your family lately?
1138
01:51:59,045 --> 01:52:02,381
Ain't heared much for some time.
1139
01:52:02,549 --> 01:52:07,136
Yankee mail used to move
quicker than Secesh mail.
1140
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:16,729
Lord, from where you sit
you can see the great distance...
1141
01:52:16,896 --> 01:52:20,315
...that separates our Southern men
from their wives and children.
1142
01:52:20,984 --> 01:52:24,570
We pray that you watch over our families.
1143
01:52:25,989 --> 01:52:29,241
Lord, I ask you to watch over
Jim Lewis' family...
1144
01:52:29,409 --> 01:52:33,328
...over his friends, his loved ones,
wherever they may be.
1145
01:52:33,496 --> 01:52:38,083
Lord, I know you sees
into the hearts of all men...
1146
01:52:38,251 --> 01:52:41,170
...just like you sees into the heart
of old Jim Lewis.
1147
01:52:43,423 --> 01:52:48,677
And, Lord, I know there's
no lying or deceitfulness...
1148
01:52:48,845 --> 01:52:50,846
...can hide from you.
1149
01:52:51,765 --> 01:52:52,931
You find the truth...
1150
01:52:53,099 --> 01:52:59,521
...in the bottom of the deepest pit
of darkness.
1151
01:52:59,689 --> 01:53:04,651
There be no hiding from your truth
and your ever-watchful eye.
1152
01:53:05,278 --> 01:53:07,112
Amen.
1153
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:08,864
How is it, Lord?
1154
01:53:09,949 --> 01:53:14,119
Can you explain something
to this old Virginia man?
1155
01:53:14,788 --> 01:53:19,041
How is it a good Christian man...
1156
01:53:19,209 --> 01:53:21,293
...like some folks I know...
1157
01:53:21,461 --> 01:53:25,339
...can tolerate their black brothers
in bondage?
1158
01:53:26,132 --> 01:53:30,052
How is it, Lord, they don't just...
1159
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:33,639
...break them chains?
1160
01:53:34,808 --> 01:53:37,392
How is it, Lord?
1161
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:42,064
My heart is open and aching.
1162
01:53:42,232 --> 01:53:44,024
And I wants to know.
1163
01:53:49,739 --> 01:53:51,824
Lord, speak to us.
1164
01:53:51,991 --> 01:53:53,242
Speak to your children.
1165
01:53:53,409 --> 01:53:59,164
Speak to Jim Lewis and Thomas Jackson,
your humble and obedient servants.
1166
01:53:59,332 --> 01:54:01,917
Speak to all of us.
1167
01:54:02,335 --> 01:54:05,170
Our hearts are open.
1168
01:54:05,839 --> 01:54:08,257
Lord, you show us the way,
we will follow.
1169
01:54:13,847 --> 01:54:18,934
Amen.
1170
01:54:30,530 --> 01:54:32,948
- Jim?
- Yeah.
1171
01:54:34,784 --> 01:54:36,660
What is the status of your family?
1172
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:40,873
About half is free, half slave.
1173
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:44,877
That's counting all the cousins and such.
1174
01:54:45,545 --> 01:54:48,714
You must know that there are
some officers in this Army...
1175
01:54:48,882 --> 01:54:51,383
...who are of the opinion that...
1176
01:54:51,551 --> 01:54:55,470
...we should be enlisting Negroes
as a condition for freedom.
1177
01:54:56,472 --> 01:54:58,849
That's what they says around the camp.
1178
01:54:59,017 --> 01:55:03,854
Your people will be free,
one way or another.
1179
01:55:04,022 --> 01:55:07,024
The question is,
if the Southern government will have...
1180
01:55:07,191 --> 01:55:10,485
...the good sense to do it first and soon.
1181
01:55:10,653 --> 01:55:14,531
And in so doing seal a bond
of enduring friendship between us.
1182
01:55:17,493 --> 01:55:20,495
That's what they says, general.
1183
01:55:21,664 --> 01:55:25,000
God's plan is a great mystery.
1184
01:55:25,543 --> 01:55:28,670
It will be revealed to us.
1185
01:55:37,722 --> 01:55:41,016
That's all the fodder you get tonight.
1186
01:55:41,184 --> 01:55:45,354
We's going to a country where there's
nothing more for an animal to eat...
1187
01:55:45,521 --> 01:55:49,691
...than there is what's in the palm
of my hand. Ha, ha.
1188
01:56:01,829 --> 01:56:04,581
General Lee, fine day, sir.
1189
01:56:04,749 --> 01:56:08,752
We got batteries all along that hill,
covering our front to the river.
1190
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:10,420
Strong anchor on the north.
1191
01:56:10,588 --> 01:56:13,840
Tomorrow, guns will be positioned
in those trees to the south.
1192
01:56:14,092 --> 01:56:18,053
We'll be able to cover the entire
open ground, all of it.
1193
01:56:18,221 --> 01:56:22,766
General, they gonna come at us here?
1194
01:56:22,934 --> 01:56:25,268
Colonel Alexander...
1195
01:56:25,436 --> 01:56:29,481
...Federal troops amassed across that river
are watching us prepare for them.
1196
01:56:29,649 --> 01:56:32,317
If I were General Burnside,
I wouldn't attack here.
1197
01:56:32,485 --> 01:56:35,612
I'd move back upstream,
come across from above us.
1198
01:56:35,780 --> 01:56:38,573
Burnside is not a man
with the luxury of flexibility.
1199
01:56:38,741 --> 01:56:42,119
He's being pushed from behind
by loud voices in Washington...
1200
01:56:42,286 --> 01:56:45,747
...by newspapers
who demand quick action.
1201
01:56:45,915 --> 01:56:49,251
But we're here,
and so he will attack us here.
1202
01:56:49,419 --> 01:56:52,004
We got batteries pointing from all angles.
1203
01:56:52,171 --> 01:56:54,673
They cross that canal,
that'll slow them down.
1204
01:56:55,258 --> 01:56:57,426
We shall hit them from all sides.
1205
01:56:57,593 --> 01:57:00,470
No, sir, a chicken couldn't live
on that field.
1206
01:57:05,601 --> 01:57:07,227
General Lee, sir.
1207
01:57:07,437 --> 01:57:09,187
General Jackson sends his respects...
1208
01:57:09,355 --> 01:57:12,941
...and advises his corps will deploy
to the south of this position...
1209
01:57:13,109 --> 01:57:14,901
...by tomorrow, as you instructed.
1210
01:57:16,154 --> 01:57:18,113
Well, what are his men made of?
1211
01:57:18,281 --> 01:57:20,240
He's 150 miles away.
1212
01:57:20,491 --> 01:57:23,160
To General Jackson,
dawn begins the minute after midnight.
1213
01:57:25,788 --> 01:57:29,541
General Hood, I've often wondered
how it is that...
1214
01:57:29,709 --> 01:57:34,463
...Texas men, the most independent-minded
in this Army of irascibles...
1215
01:57:34,630 --> 01:57:37,299
...have agreed to serve under
a Kentuckian.
1216
01:57:37,467 --> 01:57:40,469
I have often wondered the same.
1217
01:57:41,220 --> 01:57:46,808
General Gregg, have you settled your
differences with General Jackson?
1218
01:57:47,060 --> 01:57:50,228
No, General Hill, I have not.
1219
01:57:50,730 --> 01:57:52,898
Have you?
1220
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,735
No, sir.
1221
01:57:59,530 --> 01:58:01,573
Tell me, general...
1222
01:58:02,283 --> 01:58:06,244
...do you expect to live
until the end of this war?
1223
01:58:06,621 --> 01:58:11,249
Oh. I do not know...
1224
01:58:12,752 --> 01:58:15,087
...but I'm inclined to think I will.
1225
01:58:15,254 --> 01:58:17,631
I expect I will be wounded.
1226
01:58:18,841 --> 01:58:21,259
And you, general?
1227
01:58:22,428 --> 01:58:26,681
I do not expect to live to see
the end of this war.
1228
01:58:27,433 --> 01:58:32,354
Nor can I say that without victory
I would desire to do so.
1229
01:58:36,359 --> 01:58:40,028
- Get up.
- Get up.
1230
01:58:47,537 --> 01:58:49,788
Sir?
1231
01:58:50,289 --> 01:58:53,834
Yes, Mr. Pendleton, you may enter.
1232
01:58:54,001 --> 01:58:57,546
Forgive me, general.
There's a letter for you.
1233
01:58:57,713 --> 01:59:03,385
Courier was running a little slow today,
but I thought you'd want to see it.
1234
01:59:04,470 --> 01:59:05,887
Yes, thank you.
1235
01:59:07,056 --> 01:59:09,474
Good night, sir.
1236
01:59:45,261 --> 01:59:47,012
My own dear father:
1237
01:59:48,347 --> 01:59:52,350
As my mother's letter
has been cut short by my arrival...
1238
01:59:52,518 --> 01:59:55,604
...I think it but justice
that I should continue it.
1239
01:59:56,439 --> 01:59:59,608
I know that you are rejoiced
to hear of my coming.
1240
01:59:59,775 --> 02:00:04,029
And I hope that God has sent me
to radiate your pathway through life.
1241
02:00:05,281 --> 02:00:08,116
I am a very tiny little thing.
1242
02:00:08,284 --> 02:00:10,535
I weigh only eight and a half pounds...
1243
02:00:10,703 --> 02:00:16,208
...and Aunt Harriet says I am
the express image of my darling papa.
1244
02:00:16,375 --> 02:00:19,544
My mother is very comfortable
this morning.
1245
02:00:20,463 --> 02:00:24,382
Your loving daughter.
1246
02:00:31,140 --> 02:00:33,725
Thank you, Lord.
1247
02:00:33,893 --> 02:00:36,478
Thank you.
1248
02:00:36,729 --> 02:00:38,563
Thank you, thank you.
1249
02:00:39,232 --> 02:00:42,567
They've occupied all the buildings
along the riverfront.
1250
02:00:42,735 --> 02:00:46,321
We will be lining up those pontoon
bridges through a hail of lead.
1251
02:00:46,822 --> 02:00:50,659
Once across, the Rebs are sure
to make us pay for every block.
1252
02:00:50,826 --> 02:00:54,329
Beyond the town is the canal
which cuts across this open field...
1253
02:00:54,497 --> 02:00:58,833
...a field we'll have to cross to reach
their entrenchments on Marye's Heights...
1254
02:00:59,001 --> 02:01:02,671
...another difficult obstacle
in the face of artillery fire.
1255
02:01:02,838 --> 02:01:05,590
Down to our left we could burst through...
1256
02:01:05,758 --> 02:01:11,179
...turn Jackson's lines, push him back,
trap Longstreet on top of the hill...
1257
02:01:11,347 --> 02:01:12,973
...surround him.
1258
02:01:15,268 --> 02:01:16,685
It's possible.
1259
02:01:17,937 --> 02:01:20,939
Turn Jackson's lines?
1260
02:01:21,607 --> 02:01:24,442
No, general, we'll meet them head on.
1261
02:01:24,610 --> 02:01:27,112
And it will be a bloody mess.
1262
02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:29,197
We'll march up to that hill there...
1263
02:01:29,365 --> 02:01:34,286
...and we'll eat their artillery fire
all the way across this field.
1264
02:01:41,794 --> 02:01:44,713
We'll be able to look
at ourselves and say:
1265
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:47,716
"We're good soldiers.
We did what we were told."
1266
02:01:47,883 --> 02:01:52,637
If we're not successful, we can say it was
a good plan, but there were contingencies.
1267
02:01:52,805 --> 02:01:54,723
You can go back to your hometown...
1268
02:01:54,890 --> 02:01:58,977
...and tell the families of your men
they died doing their duty.
1269
02:01:59,812 --> 02:02:03,315
The Rebs have fortified
the high ground up the river.
1270
02:02:03,482 --> 02:02:07,736
And anyway, there are strong currents
and obstacles to a crossing there.
1271
02:02:07,903 --> 02:02:10,238
Below Fredericksburg,
the river is too wide.
1272
02:02:10,406 --> 02:02:13,408
And our earliest forces are
clear down to Port Royal.
1273
02:02:13,826 --> 02:02:17,746
Fredericksburg is now
the only place we can cross.
1274
02:02:17,913 --> 02:02:23,501
If Burnside doesn't cross here,
he might as well resign.
1275
02:02:25,963 --> 02:02:30,842
That wily gray fox has outmaneuvered
our command again.
1276
02:02:31,177 --> 02:02:34,429
And there's going to be hell to pay.
1277
02:03:03,125 --> 02:03:04,501
Hurry up! Let's go!
1278
02:03:07,046 --> 02:03:08,630
Pick your targets, boys!
1279
02:03:09,298 --> 02:03:11,174
Commence firing!
1280
02:03:53,551 --> 02:03:57,762
Them Yankees is coming, sure as Jesus.
They got two pontoons across that river.
1281
02:03:57,930 --> 02:04:00,432
We got to get you and them children
out of here.
1282
02:04:00,599 --> 02:04:04,185
Stop fussing with me. Get your family
ready. We'll leave together.
1283
02:04:04,353 --> 02:04:07,856
Miss Jane, us done talked this over,
and we decided to stay here...
1284
02:04:08,023 --> 02:04:10,608
...and look after the house.
No use saying no more.
1285
02:04:10,776 --> 02:04:13,945
Martha, I won't leave you to the mercy
of those blue devils.
1286
02:04:14,113 --> 02:04:17,615
Miss Jane, you know they ain't gonna be
bothering us colored folks.
1287
02:04:17,783 --> 02:04:22,287
If we go with you, there won't be any food
left in the pantry when we come back.
1288
02:04:22,455 --> 02:04:25,039
And we need to eat, same as you.
1289
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:31,129
- Pastor Lacy, we must run to our lines.
- There's no time.
1290
02:04:31,297 --> 02:04:33,756
The streets are raining iron.
To the basement.
1291
02:04:50,816 --> 02:04:53,568
Anybody hurt?
1292
02:04:53,736 --> 02:04:55,987
Sam?
1293
02:04:58,741 --> 02:05:00,909
Easy.
1294
02:05:03,496 --> 02:05:05,330
Sam!
1295
02:05:05,498 --> 02:05:08,249
Can you get up? Easy! Easy!
1296
02:05:39,573 --> 02:05:40,949
Fall back, Mississippi!
1297
02:05:42,618 --> 02:05:44,077
Fall back!
1298
02:05:47,790 --> 02:05:49,541
Mother? Are you here?
1299
02:05:49,708 --> 02:05:52,377
Oh, praise be! It's Master John!
1300
02:05:52,545 --> 02:05:55,922
- We're down here in the cellar!
- The door is blocked!
1301
02:05:56,382 --> 02:05:59,217
I'll go around to the side!
1302
02:06:03,389 --> 02:06:07,475
Children, y'all stay right here.
Mama'll be back.
1303
02:06:07,851 --> 02:06:10,478
Come out!
There's an ambulance out front.
1304
02:06:10,646 --> 02:06:12,814
The enemy is crossing the river. Hurry!
1305
02:06:33,002 --> 02:06:37,839
- No! Martha, I won't leave without you.
- I done told you, I'm staying.
1306
02:06:38,007 --> 02:06:40,341
Off with you then.
1307
02:06:42,177 --> 02:06:45,096
Come on, Martha.
1308
02:06:45,264 --> 02:06:47,890
Stay in the basement!
1309
02:06:48,559 --> 02:06:49,892
Hyah.
1310
02:08:53,809 --> 02:08:55,476
Get the bayonets!
1311
02:09:40,189 --> 02:09:42,273
May God be with them.
1312
02:09:42,441 --> 02:09:46,944
May he strengthen their hearts
and their arms for the coming struggle.
1313
02:09:47,112 --> 02:09:49,822
Give them the victory.
1314
02:10:04,713 --> 02:10:08,466
Can I be of service
to you fine Northern gentlemen?
1315
02:10:08,634 --> 02:10:10,718
Is this your master's place?
1316
02:10:10,886 --> 02:10:12,386
This is my place.
1317
02:10:15,808 --> 02:10:16,891
Children!
1318
02:10:25,275 --> 02:10:27,151
Sorry to have to bother you, ma'am.
1319
02:10:27,319 --> 02:10:29,821
Come on, let's go.
1320
02:10:31,156 --> 02:10:33,908
Go back inside. Hurry up.
1321
02:10:40,290 --> 02:10:44,460
Put a stop to this at once!
Where are the officers?
1322
02:10:44,628 --> 02:10:48,422
Drop that, soldier. Now!
1323
02:10:49,258 --> 02:10:51,843
Get a message to Couch, to Hancock.
1324
02:10:52,010 --> 02:10:57,223
This will not be tolerated!
This is an army, not a rabble!
1325
02:11:21,498 --> 02:11:26,252
Well, General Jackson,
you are a most gallant sight this morning.
1326
02:11:26,420 --> 02:11:29,964
Thank you, General Stuart,
your gift is much appreciated.
1327
02:11:30,132 --> 02:11:33,384
General Longstreet, show us
where your troops are positioned.
1328
02:11:33,552 --> 02:11:38,556
Yes, sir. We're anchored on the north
by Anderson's division...
1329
02:11:38,724 --> 02:11:41,726
...up on the bend in the river
and Ransom's division...
1330
02:11:42,060 --> 02:11:45,229
...along and below the ridge
of Marye's Heights...
1331
02:11:45,397 --> 02:11:50,318
...with Cobb's brigade dug in down
on the road behind that stone wall.
1332
02:11:50,485 --> 02:11:53,487
Now, to their right, is General McLaws...
1333
02:11:53,655 --> 02:11:58,492
...and further down in the woods
and to the right, Pickett and Hood.
1334
02:11:58,660 --> 02:12:00,828
General Hood is my right flank.
1335
02:12:01,580 --> 02:12:06,500
He's connected in those heavy trees
over there with General Jackson's left.
1336
02:12:06,668 --> 02:12:09,754
Up here on the Heights,
we have the Washington artillery...
1337
02:12:09,922 --> 02:12:13,090
...Colonel Alexander's batteries
and support.
1338
02:12:13,258 --> 02:12:15,384
It's a strong line, general.
1339
02:12:15,552 --> 02:12:16,594
Very well.
1340
02:12:17,095 --> 02:12:20,014
General Jackson, would you please extend
the line for us?
1341
02:12:20,182 --> 02:12:25,269
Um, General A.P. Hill is on the left,
adjoining General Hood.
1342
02:12:25,437 --> 02:12:28,940
Position is supported by General Taliaferro
and General Early.
1343
02:12:29,107 --> 02:12:32,443
Now to the right flank and behind
is D.H. Hill.
1344
02:12:32,694 --> 02:12:36,030
We've built a road behind our lines
running the entire length.
1345
02:12:36,198 --> 02:12:38,908
We can move troops as is necessary.
1346
02:12:39,076 --> 02:12:42,286
If the enemy penetrates our lines
at any point...
1347
02:12:42,454 --> 02:12:46,415
...the reserves, Taliaferro and Early,
can move rapidly to a new position.
1348
02:12:46,583 --> 02:12:48,834
If the enemy attempts to cut our center...
1349
02:12:49,002 --> 02:12:52,546
...or if General Pickett is pressed,
we can change positions, sir.
1350
02:12:53,048 --> 02:12:54,632
Good, very good.
1351
02:12:54,800 --> 02:12:58,636
General Stuart, are you in
a strong position for protecting...
1352
02:12:58,804 --> 02:13:00,262
...General Jackson's flank?
1353
02:13:00,430 --> 02:13:01,472
Oh, yes, sir.
1354
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:05,226
We're covering the enemy from the river,
as far out as our own lines.
1355
02:13:05,394 --> 02:13:10,022
If the Yankees move down river or
threaten to turn General Jackson's line...
1356
02:13:10,482 --> 02:13:13,317
...we can block their advance
until the line is moved.
1357
02:13:13,485 --> 02:13:18,739
Very well. Gentlemen,
these deployments are sound.
1358
02:13:20,909 --> 02:13:22,994
The rest is in God's hands.
1359
02:13:23,161 --> 02:13:25,705
Amen.
1360
02:13:32,921 --> 02:13:35,339
In the Roman civil war...
1361
02:13:36,008 --> 02:13:38,884
...Julius Caesar knew he had
to march on Rome itself...
1362
02:13:39,052 --> 02:13:41,846
...which no legion was permitted to do.
1363
02:13:42,014 --> 02:13:46,600
Marcus Lucanus left us a chronicle
of what happened.
1364
02:13:48,437 --> 02:13:51,689
How swiftly Caesar had surmounted
the icy Alps...
1365
02:13:51,857 --> 02:13:56,944
...and in his mind conceived
immense upheavals, coming war.
1366
02:13:57,112 --> 02:14:01,282
When he reached the little Rubicon,
clearly through the murky night...
1367
02:14:01,450 --> 02:14:05,453
...appeared a mighty image
of his country in distress...
1368
02:14:06,288 --> 02:14:08,873
...grief in her face...
1369
02:14:09,041 --> 02:14:13,127
...her white hair streaming
from her tower-crowned head.
1370
02:14:13,295 --> 02:14:18,549
With tresses torn and shoulders bare,
she stood before him and sighing, said:
1371
02:14:18,717 --> 02:14:23,471
"Where further do you march? Where
do you take my standards, warriors?
1372
02:14:23,638 --> 02:14:28,601
If lawfully you come, if as citizens,
this far only is allowed."
1373
02:14:29,227 --> 02:14:32,730
Trembling struck his limbs.
1374
02:14:32,898 --> 02:14:37,318
And weakness checked his progress,
holding his feet at the river's edge.
1375
02:14:37,486 --> 02:14:38,944
At last he speaks.
1376
02:14:39,321 --> 02:14:41,655
Oh, thunderer...
1377
02:14:41,823 --> 02:14:46,660
...surveying great Rome's walls
from the Tarpeian rock.
1378
02:14:46,828 --> 02:14:48,996
Oh, Phrygian, house gods of lulus...
1379
02:14:49,164 --> 02:14:52,833
...clan and mysteries of Quirinus
who was carried off to heaven.
1380
02:14:53,085 --> 02:14:58,005
Oh, Jupiter of Latium, seated
in lofty Alba and hearths of Vesta.
1381
02:14:58,173 --> 02:15:03,385
Oh, Rome, equal to the highest deity,
favor my plans.
1382
02:15:03,595 --> 02:15:06,597
Not with impious weapons
do I pursue you.
1383
02:15:06,765 --> 02:15:09,683
Here am I, Caesar...
1384
02:15:09,851 --> 02:15:13,687
...conqueror of land and sea,
your own soldier everywhere...
1385
02:15:13,855 --> 02:15:17,274
...now too if I am permitted.
1386
02:15:17,692 --> 02:15:22,613
The man who makes me your enemy,
it is he will be the guilty one.
1387
02:15:23,532 --> 02:15:27,952
He broke the barriers of war
and through the swollen river...
1388
02:15:28,120 --> 02:15:31,372
...swiftly took his standards.
1389
02:15:31,540 --> 02:15:35,209
When Caesar crossed the flood
and reached the opposite bank...
1390
02:15:35,377 --> 02:15:40,089
...from Hesperia's forbidden fields,
he took his stand and said:
1391
02:15:40,382 --> 02:15:44,802
"Here, I abandoned peace
and desecrated law.
1392
02:15:44,970 --> 02:15:47,888
Fortune, it is you I follow.
1393
02:15:48,056 --> 02:15:53,394
Farewell to treaties.
From now on, war is our judge."
1394
02:16:00,402 --> 02:16:03,404
Hail Caesar.
1395
02:16:03,572 --> 02:16:07,324
We who are about to die salute you.
1396
02:16:29,431 --> 02:16:33,601
General Zook!
Move your brigade forward!
1397
02:16:33,768 --> 02:16:37,771
Double quick, forward march!
1398
02:17:24,819 --> 02:17:28,864
Steady, boys, steady.
You'll soon be forward.
1399
02:17:29,032 --> 02:17:31,158
Is that to be
General Meagher's position?
1400
02:17:31,326 --> 02:17:34,495
He's enjoying the privilege of an officer.
Protecting the rear.
1401
02:17:34,663 --> 02:17:36,664
He's got a lame knee, for pity's sake.
1402
02:17:36,831 --> 02:17:39,375
Fair enough.
Someone's got to keep Burnside company.
1403
02:17:39,542 --> 02:17:41,835
Quiet in the ranks!
1404
02:17:42,003 --> 02:17:45,130
Shoulder arms!
1405
02:18:20,625 --> 02:18:22,543
Colonel.
1406
02:18:23,253 --> 02:18:24,878
20th Maine to the front.
1407
02:18:27,757 --> 02:18:31,719
Battalion! Shoulder arms!
1408
02:18:31,886 --> 02:18:34,054
Shoulder arms!
1409
02:18:34,222 --> 02:18:36,974
Left face!
1410
02:18:38,810 --> 02:18:41,103
High-file right...
1411
02:18:41,271 --> 02:18:43,147
...march!
1412
02:18:54,617 --> 02:18:59,580
Come on, boys! Show them the cold steel!
Irish brigade, move out!
1413
02:18:59,748 --> 02:19:03,917
Irish brigade, at the double-quick...
1414
02:19:04,085 --> 02:19:08,255
...forward march!
1415
02:19:08,673 --> 02:19:11,258
Front and center!
1416
02:19:19,017 --> 02:19:21,560
Double column, boys! Form up!
1417
02:19:26,691 --> 02:19:28,859
Forward!
1418
02:19:47,170 --> 02:19:48,212
Keep moving!
1419
02:19:52,258 --> 02:19:56,261
That's the Irish.
What are those boys doing fighting in blue?
1420
02:19:56,471 --> 02:19:59,014
Don't they know we're fighting
for our independence?
1421
02:19:59,182 --> 02:20:01,892
Did they learn nothing
at the hands of the English?
1422
02:20:02,060 --> 02:20:05,479
They're Reb Irishmen. They're our brothers.
1423
02:20:05,688 --> 02:20:08,440
They've been misled to their fates.
1424
02:20:18,827 --> 02:20:21,495
Do your duty!
1425
02:20:33,842 --> 02:20:37,761
Steady, men! Steady!
1426
02:20:54,446 --> 02:20:57,364
Men, do your duty!
1427
02:21:02,662 --> 02:21:05,664
Battalion, halt!
1428
02:21:10,170 --> 02:21:11,837
Ready!
1429
02:21:12,005 --> 02:21:13,547
Aim!
1430
02:21:13,965 --> 02:21:15,048
Fire!
1431
02:21:30,398 --> 02:21:32,232
Load them up, boys, load them up!
1432
02:21:33,902 --> 02:21:35,068
Keep loading, boys!
1433
02:21:37,864 --> 02:21:40,949
Ready!
1434
02:21:41,117 --> 02:21:42,201
Aim!
1435
02:21:42,744 --> 02:21:43,744
Fire!
1436
02:21:46,789 --> 02:21:48,916
Load! Load! Load!
1437
02:21:55,423 --> 02:21:56,590
Ready!
1438
02:21:56,758 --> 02:21:57,799
Aim!
1439
02:21:57,967 --> 02:21:59,593
Fire!
1440
02:22:20,782 --> 02:22:23,283
Fall back! Fall back, men!
1441
02:22:23,493 --> 02:22:25,536
Now move! Move!
1442
02:22:28,706 --> 02:22:30,707
Fall back! Now!
1443
02:22:31,125 --> 02:22:34,545
Go to hell! Go to hell and damnation!
1444
02:22:34,754 --> 02:22:37,172
Move, boys!
1445
02:22:40,802 --> 02:22:43,262
Lie down here!
1446
02:22:43,429 --> 02:22:57,818
Lie down and load!
1447
02:22:58,403 --> 02:22:59,653
Load!
1448
02:23:03,199 --> 02:23:05,617
Load and fire!
1449
02:23:05,994 --> 02:23:07,786
Quickly!
1450
02:23:08,121 --> 02:23:11,623
Blaze away, lads! Do it, boys!
1451
02:23:16,045 --> 02:23:17,254
Fire, boys.
1452
02:23:18,464 --> 02:23:19,756
Fire!
1453
02:23:25,346 --> 02:23:29,308
Keep firing, men! Keep firing!
1454
02:23:38,818 --> 02:23:39,860
Fall back!
1455
02:23:40,570 --> 02:23:42,154
Fall back, lads!
1456
02:23:42,322 --> 02:23:45,240
Every man for himself!
1457
02:23:52,457 --> 02:23:54,875
Fall back, men!
1458
02:24:44,133 --> 02:24:46,927
- Caldwell's brigade, forward! Now!
- Yes, sir!
1459
02:24:47,261 --> 02:24:50,514
At the double-quick! March!
1460
02:25:02,318 --> 02:25:05,946
- General Armistead.
- Afternoon, General Pickett.
1461
02:25:06,114 --> 02:25:11,618
- See that last charge by Meagher's brigade?
- Those fellas deserved a better fate.
1462
02:25:11,786 --> 02:25:14,162
Their bravery is worthy of a better cause.
1463
02:25:15,832 --> 02:25:17,749
My heart stood still as I watched it.
1464
02:25:17,917 --> 02:25:20,168
I would not have believed
that mortal men...
1465
02:25:20,336 --> 02:25:23,463
...could march into the face
of such destruction.
1466
02:25:26,634 --> 02:25:28,719
General Longstreet...
1467
02:25:28,886 --> 02:25:32,347
...those people committing more
fresh divisions at your lines...
1468
02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:36,643
...their mounting numbers
may overwhelm our defense.
1469
02:25:37,103 --> 02:25:42,065
Sir, if they put every man they have
on the field to approach me...
1470
02:25:42,233 --> 02:25:46,319
...give me plenty of ammunition,
I'll kill them all before they reach my line.
1471
02:25:47,321 --> 02:25:49,573
Nevertheless,
we must be prudent, general.
1472
02:25:49,741 --> 02:25:53,034
We must never ignore the unknown
or the unpredictable.
1473
02:25:54,245 --> 02:25:56,955
Yes, sir. I'll take the necessary measures.
Orders!
1474
02:25:59,542 --> 02:26:03,003
Send orders to Ransom's Tar Heels
to advance his division...
1475
02:26:03,171 --> 02:26:07,007
...and to Kershaw to bring up his brigade
to support Cobb at the wall.
1476
02:26:07,175 --> 02:26:09,342
Yes, sir! Hyah, hyah!
1477
02:26:31,574 --> 02:26:33,492
Forward, men!
1478
02:27:07,401 --> 02:27:09,486
General Griffin, sir.
1479
02:27:10,321 --> 02:27:12,739
There goes my first brigade to hell.
1480
02:27:13,157 --> 02:27:15,242
All right, get them ready.
1481
02:27:15,868 --> 02:27:19,037
20th Maine, fix bayonets!
1482
02:27:24,669 --> 02:27:27,671
Officers of the 3rd Brigade
will dismount.
1483
02:27:34,387 --> 02:27:36,096
Shoulder arms!
1484
02:27:38,099 --> 02:27:41,059
All right, men, move them out!
1485
02:27:41,227 --> 02:27:43,770
Forward march!
1486
02:27:57,410 --> 02:28:01,705
Load! Five-second fuse!
1487
02:28:11,465 --> 02:28:13,925
She burst! The barrel burst!
1488
02:28:14,802 --> 02:28:17,137
- Stretcher!
- General Lee, you all right, sir?
1489
02:28:17,305 --> 02:28:23,018
- Sergeant! Call for the surgeon! Quickly!
- Here I go. Help me up, boys.
1490
02:28:31,694 --> 02:28:35,530
It's not yet our time, gentlemen.
1491
02:28:35,698 --> 02:28:37,324
Not yet our time.
1492
02:28:38,117 --> 02:28:42,162
General Kemper. General Kemper.
1493
02:28:42,330 --> 02:28:46,249
You are ordered by General Longstreet to
proceed to your left in support of McLaws.
1494
02:28:46,417 --> 02:28:50,503
Take two regiments of your brigade into
the sunken road behind the stone wall.
1495
02:28:50,671 --> 02:28:52,005
Yes, sir. At once.
1496
02:28:52,840 --> 02:28:54,174
Do your duty, general.
1497
02:28:55,843 --> 02:28:59,095
My horse. We go to where the fight is.
1498
02:29:05,227 --> 02:29:08,271
Commanding general has
called us into battle.
1499
02:29:08,439 --> 02:29:10,190
We move at once.
1500
02:29:12,777 --> 02:29:15,111
If we can whip the enemy here today...
1501
02:29:15,279 --> 02:29:17,489
...I tell you, from what I know...
1502
02:29:17,657 --> 02:29:19,991
...the Confederacy is surely established.
1503
02:29:20,868 --> 02:29:22,619
Men of Virginia...
1504
02:29:22,787 --> 02:29:27,540
...you who have fought
on so many hard-won fields...
1505
02:29:27,708 --> 02:29:31,044
...today your country calls upon you
one more time...
1506
02:29:31,212 --> 02:29:34,547
...to stand between her and the enemy.
1507
02:29:34,715 --> 02:29:39,469
And I know that you will do your duty!
1508
02:29:53,734 --> 02:29:58,238
Brigade, halt! Form by battalion!
1509
02:29:58,406 --> 02:30:01,574
Pass them forward.
Just load and pass them forward!
1510
02:30:06,414 --> 02:30:07,747
Fire!
1511
02:30:27,184 --> 02:30:28,601
20th Maine...
1512
02:30:29,145 --> 02:30:31,104
...halt!
1513
02:30:36,277 --> 02:30:39,529
It is not difficult to move from
line of battle into column of fours.
1514
02:30:39,697 --> 02:30:42,907
It is much harder to move from
column of fours into line of battle...
1515
02:30:43,075 --> 02:30:46,578
...and if we're called to make that move,
it will be when we are under fire.
1516
02:30:47,288 --> 02:30:51,791
You understand how important it is that
these moves are learned so thoroughly...
1517
02:30:51,959 --> 02:30:55,086
...that the men can perform them
in their sleep.
1518
02:31:23,699 --> 02:31:27,660
Seems a terrible long distance
up that hill.
1519
02:31:28,370 --> 02:31:30,538
It'll be shortened by those in the front.
1520
02:31:30,706 --> 02:31:32,499
Begging your pardon, sir.
1521
02:31:32,666 --> 02:31:37,045
The only thing that'll be shortened
by those in front is their lives.
1522
02:31:38,506 --> 02:31:40,799
God help us now.
1523
02:31:42,176 --> 02:31:47,222
- Colonel, take care of the right wing.
- Yes, sir. I'll watch them, sir.
1524
02:31:57,108 --> 02:31:58,983
Hail Caesar.
1525
02:31:59,151 --> 02:32:03,446
We who are about to die salute you.
1526
02:32:11,205 --> 02:32:13,873
20th Maine!
1527
02:32:17,878 --> 02:32:20,547
- Forward!
- Forward!
1528
02:32:20,798 --> 02:32:24,300
- March!
- March!
1529
02:32:24,510 --> 02:32:27,887
By the right of companies,
to the front! March!
1530
02:32:28,097 --> 02:32:32,058
Right of companies to the front! March!
1531
02:32:38,858 --> 02:32:40,900
Form a line, boys! Form a line!
1532
02:32:41,861 --> 02:32:44,946
Form up a line! Form up a line!
1533
02:32:45,698 --> 02:32:47,699
Dress to the colors!
1534
02:32:54,290 --> 02:32:56,082
Come on, boys!
1535
02:32:56,292 --> 02:32:57,792
Dress to the colors!
1536
02:33:19,481 --> 02:33:21,566
Come on, boys.
1537
02:33:50,763 --> 02:33:52,972
Dress to the colors!
1538
02:34:11,200 --> 02:34:14,327
Keep your line, men. Keep your line.
Close that gap!
1539
02:34:19,083 --> 02:34:20,708
Dress to the colors!
1540
02:34:58,247 --> 02:35:01,165
At the double-quick, men!
1541
02:35:06,088 --> 02:35:08,756
Double-quick, boys! Come on, boys!
1542
02:35:15,514 --> 02:35:17,724
Keep it tight, boys! Keep it tight!
1543
02:35:21,895 --> 02:35:24,772
Turn right, boys! Right!
1544
02:35:24,982 --> 02:35:27,400
Turn to the right!
1545
02:35:29,403 --> 02:35:32,572
Keep it tight, men! Keep it tight, men!
1546
02:35:34,033 --> 02:35:35,616
Come on, boys!
1547
02:35:36,035 --> 02:35:39,078
At the double-quick, boys!
Come on, boys!
1548
02:35:40,998 --> 02:35:44,375
Forward, men. Keep moving!
1549
02:36:12,780 --> 02:36:14,113
Battalion, halt!
1550
02:36:14,365 --> 02:36:17,575
- Battalion, halt!
- Battalion, halt!
1551
02:36:17,743 --> 02:36:20,036
Watch your line!
1552
02:36:20,454 --> 02:36:22,163
Dress to the colors!
1553
02:36:24,249 --> 02:36:26,834
Ready! Fire!
1554
02:36:29,296 --> 02:36:31,214
Reload, boys! Reload quickly!
1555
02:36:31,924 --> 02:36:34,384
Hold your line! Hold your line!
1556
02:36:34,551 --> 02:36:39,097
Two, three, four...
1557
02:36:39,264 --> 02:36:43,768
- ...five, six, seven...
- Dress right! Dress right!
1558
02:36:44,645 --> 02:36:46,020
...eight.
1559
02:36:46,730 --> 02:36:49,649
- Steady! Steady!
- Fire!
1560
02:36:53,654 --> 02:36:55,822
Load them! Let's go!
1561
02:36:56,156 --> 02:36:57,949
Keep firing! Keep firing!
1562
02:37:00,828 --> 02:37:03,746
Battalion, fight by fire!
1563
02:37:03,956 --> 02:37:06,207
Thattaway, boys, fire away!
1564
02:37:06,417 --> 02:37:07,583
Pour it into them!
1565
02:37:10,838 --> 02:37:13,756
Close the gap, boys!
Pour it into them!
1566
02:37:13,966 --> 02:37:16,801
Fill this hole now!
1567
02:37:26,770 --> 02:37:28,688
All right, pour it into them, boys!
1568
02:37:28,856 --> 02:37:32,567
Steady now! Pour it into them!
Dress that line down there!
1569
02:37:32,734 --> 02:37:34,235
- Sir?
- What is it?!
1570
02:37:34,445 --> 02:37:38,364
Request permission
to return to the rear, sir.
1571
02:37:41,118 --> 02:37:44,203
Permission granted. Permission granted.
1572
02:37:50,127 --> 02:37:52,587
All right, then, boys. Pour it.
1573
02:37:55,674 --> 02:38:00,052
No, no, Patrick, me boy.
Just reload and shoot.
1574
02:38:16,653 --> 02:38:18,613
Pour it into them, boys!
Pour it in to them!
1575
02:38:21,200 --> 02:38:22,241
Fill that line in!
1576
02:38:24,745 --> 02:38:26,037
Fill this hole now!
1577
02:38:29,541 --> 02:38:31,292
Dress to the right!
1578
02:38:33,170 --> 02:38:35,463
Fire!
1579
02:38:36,924 --> 02:38:39,425
Pour it into them, boys!
Pour it into them!
1580
02:38:40,761 --> 02:38:42,094
Fire!
1581
02:38:48,018 --> 02:38:50,645
- Fall back, men!
- Fall back! Fall back!
1582
02:38:50,812 --> 02:38:51,896
Fall back, boys!
1583
02:39:40,529 --> 02:39:44,031
- What did you do that for?
- You'll thank me in the morning.
1584
02:40:09,057 --> 02:40:11,601
Oh, Mother. Oh, Mother, help me...
1585
02:40:11,768 --> 02:40:17,064
It's all right, Casey, I got you. Don't worry
about a thing. I'll get you home.
1586
02:40:27,534 --> 02:40:31,037
Quickly, men. Reload quickly!
1587
02:41:06,990 --> 02:41:11,827
It is well that war is so terrible...
1588
02:41:11,995 --> 02:41:14,955
...for we should grow too fond of it.
1589
02:41:37,396 --> 02:41:38,479
Yes, sir?
1590
02:41:38,647 --> 02:41:42,775
We're requisitioning your house
for use as a hospital.
1591
02:41:44,695 --> 02:41:47,655
Come on inside out the cold.
1592
02:42:09,803 --> 02:42:11,637
You there.
1593
02:42:11,805 --> 02:42:13,848
You wounded?
1594
02:42:16,393 --> 02:42:18,602
Truly sorry, old fella...
1595
02:42:21,898 --> 02:42:23,733
Damn.
1596
02:43:14,868 --> 02:43:16,869
- General Hancock, sir.
- Surgeon.
1597
02:43:17,037 --> 02:43:20,164
This man is Major Sidney Willard
of the 35th Massachusetts.
1598
02:43:20,332 --> 02:43:22,249
This way, sir.
1599
02:43:35,639 --> 02:43:38,557
Prepare to lift. Lift.
1600
02:43:47,317 --> 02:43:51,904
He's been shot twice in the chest, general.
There's nothing I can do.
1601
02:44:00,497 --> 02:44:04,250
- Is there whiskey in this house?
- Yes, sir.
1602
02:44:11,758 --> 02:44:13,592
Drink this, sir.
1603
02:44:19,766 --> 02:44:22,893
I love them people
you done chased from this house.
1604
02:44:23,603 --> 02:44:27,189
I's known them most all my life.
1605
02:44:28,692 --> 02:44:31,485
The Beales is good people.
1606
02:44:34,447 --> 02:44:37,074
Mr. General?
1607
02:44:38,159 --> 02:44:40,995
I was born a slave.
1608
02:44:42,497 --> 02:44:45,291
And I wants to die free.
1609
02:44:45,458 --> 02:44:50,588
Lord knows I wants to die free,
and I wants my children to be free.
1610
02:44:51,798 --> 02:44:54,508
Heaven help me.
1611
02:44:56,928 --> 02:45:00,097
May God bless you all.
1612
02:45:46,353 --> 02:45:48,270
Damn it, Tom,
you scared me half to death.
1613
02:45:48,438 --> 02:45:52,149
You? Lawrence, I thought
you was with the beyond.
1614
02:46:12,504 --> 02:46:14,004
Mother?
1615
02:46:16,174 --> 02:46:18,842
I was able to secure the aid
of a good spyglass...
1616
02:46:19,010 --> 02:46:22,596
...and could ascertain beyond all doubt
that our house is still standing.
1617
02:46:22,764 --> 02:46:24,014
Oh.
1618
02:46:27,060 --> 02:46:30,604
Oh, I pray to God
for Martha and her dear ones.
1619
02:46:30,772 --> 02:46:33,065
But, Mother...
1620
02:46:33,358 --> 02:46:36,568
...it is a pitiful sight on the fields
below Marye's Heights.
1621
02:46:36,736 --> 02:46:39,363
I should feel rancor in my heart
for those invaders...
1622
02:46:39,906 --> 02:46:43,242
...but all I feel for them is sorrow.
1623
02:46:45,161 --> 02:46:47,037
Dear Lucy...
1624
02:46:47,205 --> 02:46:50,374
...when you were
but a child in petticoats...
1625
02:46:50,542 --> 02:46:52,835
...I believe the year was 1847...
1626
02:46:53,503 --> 02:46:56,797
...there was a great famine in Ireland.
1627
02:46:56,965 --> 02:46:59,341
Those fields below the Heights
were covered...
1628
02:46:59,509 --> 02:47:02,594
...with the finest crop of corn
ever raised in this section.
1629
02:47:03,346 --> 02:47:07,266
The greater part of it was sent
as a donation to the starving Irish.
1630
02:47:09,561 --> 02:47:11,311
I cannot help thinking...
1631
02:47:11,479 --> 02:47:15,107
...but that it helped to feed
the poor victims of the Irish brigade...
1632
02:47:15,650 --> 02:47:19,236
...who fell on this very field today.
1633
02:47:41,760 --> 02:47:43,635
General Gregg.
1634
02:47:43,803 --> 02:47:45,220
General Jackson.
1635
02:47:46,681 --> 02:47:49,558
I wish to apologize...
1636
02:47:52,145 --> 02:47:54,646
...for the differences we had.
1637
02:47:55,732 --> 02:47:59,109
The doctor tells me
you have not long to live.
1638
02:47:59,277 --> 02:48:02,488
I ask you to dismiss this matter
from your mind...
1639
02:48:02,947 --> 02:48:05,908
...and turn your thoughts to God...
1640
02:48:06,076 --> 02:48:07,993
...and the world to which you go.
1641
02:48:08,870 --> 02:48:10,412
General...
1642
02:48:12,832 --> 02:48:15,167
...you know that I'm not a believer.
1643
02:48:21,049 --> 02:48:24,176
Well, then I will believe
for the both of us.
1644
02:48:44,322 --> 02:48:47,324
How horrible is war.
1645
02:48:49,452 --> 02:48:51,578
Horrible, yes...
1646
02:48:51,746 --> 02:48:54,373
...but we have been invaded.
1647
02:48:54,916 --> 02:48:58,043
Lord, what can we do?
1648
02:48:58,211 --> 02:49:00,587
Kill them, sir.
1649
02:49:02,632 --> 02:49:04,550
Kill every last man of them.
1650
02:49:12,642 --> 02:49:14,309
Gentlemen.
1651
02:50:06,237 --> 02:50:11,283
Oh, what I wouldn't give
for a cup of Rio just now.
1652
02:50:18,006 --> 02:50:21,342
20th Maine! Return fire!
1653
02:50:21,510 --> 02:50:24,720
- Return fire!
- Return fire!
1654
02:50:26,473 --> 02:50:27,723
Oh.
1655
02:50:28,016 --> 02:50:29,851
Patrick.
1656
02:50:31,728 --> 02:50:34,438
I hope you don't mind.
1657
02:50:35,190 --> 02:50:40,069
I know you're in heaven,
but you got work yet to do down here...
1658
02:50:40,237 --> 02:50:41,988
...in this poor pitiless world.
1659
02:51:10,100 --> 02:51:11,517
- Colonel Chamberlain.
- Mm.
1660
02:51:11,685 --> 02:51:16,522
Your orders are to withdraw.
Withdraw to the city.
1661
02:52:36,186 --> 02:52:37,478
Colonel.
1662
02:52:37,646 --> 02:52:42,608
We are ordered to form a picket line and
cover the Army's retreat across the river.
1663
02:52:44,861 --> 02:52:46,946
Colonel Chamberlain, did you hear me?
1664
02:52:58,208 --> 02:53:03,129
Yes, sir. We are to retreat, sir.
1665
02:53:08,218 --> 02:53:10,386
Captain Spear.
1666
02:53:11,888 --> 02:53:15,683
- Form the regiment. We're moving out.
- Yes, sir.
1667
02:54:10,614 --> 02:54:12,239
Morning, general.
1668
02:54:14,743 --> 02:54:19,789
General Jackson would like to report the
enemy is no longer in front of his position.
1669
02:54:20,916 --> 02:54:22,416
Go on, Mr. Pendleton.
1670
02:54:22,584 --> 02:54:25,920
General, the enemy has withdrawn
back across the river.
1671
02:54:26,588 --> 02:54:30,091
The pontoon bridges are gone, sir,
cut loose from their banks.
1672
02:54:31,468 --> 02:54:34,762
Major, summon General Longstreet.
1673
02:54:34,930 --> 02:54:39,433
I wanna know what's down below us here
and I do not wish to wait for the fog to lift.
1674
02:54:39,601 --> 02:54:41,185
Yes, sir.
1675
02:54:41,436 --> 02:54:44,605
Captain Pendleton,
you may return to General Jackson.
1676
02:54:44,856 --> 02:54:46,941
Express my appreciation
for his diligence...
1677
02:54:47,109 --> 02:54:49,652
...and remind him we do not wish
to give the enemy...
1678
02:54:49,820 --> 02:54:54,407
...an opportunity by exposing our troops
to those guns on Stafford Heights.
1679
02:54:55,033 --> 02:55:00,913
When the fog lifts, any advance will surely
receive a concentration of his artillery fire.
1680
02:55:01,081 --> 02:55:02,456
Yes, sir.
1681
02:55:02,999 --> 02:55:05,835
And, captain, I'm told you received
a wound to your thigh.
1682
02:55:06,002 --> 02:55:08,212
I trust it's not serious.
1683
02:55:08,588 --> 02:55:10,506
Thank you for asking, general.
1684
02:55:10,757 --> 02:55:12,842
It's just a flesh wound.
1685
02:55:13,093 --> 02:55:14,677
Nothing serious at all.
1686
02:56:09,566 --> 02:56:10,900
Yankees.
1687
02:56:11,234 --> 02:56:12,526
Everywhere.
1688
02:56:13,403 --> 02:56:18,032
Where y'all been? Can't find my own house.
Gone! Gone!
1689
02:56:19,534 --> 02:56:21,911
What y'all done with my house?
1690
02:56:22,245 --> 02:56:25,915
Where is it? Can y'all tell me that?
1691
02:56:26,291 --> 02:56:31,587
Well, can you? Can you?
1692
02:57:15,340 --> 02:57:17,633
20th Maine, halt!
1693
02:57:18,301 --> 02:57:19,969
You had a hard chance, colonel.
1694
02:57:20,512 --> 02:57:24,223
- I'm glad to see you out of there.
- It was chance, general.
1695
02:57:24,391 --> 02:57:26,392
Not much intelligent design there.
1696
02:57:29,187 --> 02:57:32,064
God knows it wasn't I
that put you in there.
1697
02:57:36,570 --> 02:57:39,572
That was the trouble.
You should have put us in, sir.
1698
02:57:39,739 --> 02:57:43,033
We were handed in piecemeal,
on toasting forks.
1699
02:58:01,344 --> 02:58:06,348
Steal away
1700
02:58:06,516 --> 02:58:11,103
Steal away
1701
02:58:11,271 --> 02:58:18,277
Steal away to Jesus
1702
02:58:21,531 --> 02:58:26,410
Steal away
1703
02:58:26,578 --> 02:58:31,248
Steal away home
1704
02:58:31,416 --> 02:58:36,962
I ain't got long
1705
02:58:37,130 --> 02:58:40,883
To stay here
1706
02:59:03,156 --> 02:59:06,241
What you gonna do
now that your master's dead?
1707
02:59:08,787 --> 02:59:11,622
Done already told you he my boss...
1708
02:59:11,790 --> 02:59:13,582
...not my master.
1709
02:59:15,835 --> 02:59:20,756
Well, one way or the other, he gone now.
1710
02:59:27,555 --> 02:59:30,224
Ain't much left for me here in Virginny.
1711
02:59:33,103 --> 02:59:37,564
My brother done run off with the Yankees.
He in Chambersburg now.
1712
02:59:38,650 --> 02:59:40,484
Up north in Pennsylvania.
1713
02:59:40,652 --> 02:59:42,569
You planning on heading up that way?
1714
02:59:46,658 --> 02:59:50,619
Once I gets this body
up to his kin in Winchester...
1715
02:59:50,787 --> 02:59:53,122
...I sees the way things is.
1716
02:59:54,708 --> 03:00:00,462
Well, it's good for you
your boss got killed in the wintertime.
1717
03:00:00,964 --> 03:00:04,299
That's a long way to be
carrying a man in a pine box.
1718
03:00:09,472 --> 03:00:13,350
White folks be killing one another
for a while yet.
1719
03:00:15,478 --> 03:00:17,646
They're still plenty mad,
and plenty of them.
1720
03:00:20,358 --> 03:00:21,859
But this here Rebel...
1721
03:00:23,862 --> 03:00:26,321
...give me my freedom papers.
1722
03:00:34,956 --> 03:00:37,207
He already with Jesus.
1723
03:00:39,043 --> 03:00:41,086
I'm just taking him home.
1724
03:00:43,631 --> 03:00:45,007
Amen.
1725
03:00:45,759 --> 03:00:47,843
"Men of the Army...
1726
03:00:48,011 --> 03:00:51,013
...although you were not successful
in the recent battle...
1727
03:00:51,181 --> 03:00:56,518
...the attempt was not an error,
nor the failure other than an accident.
1728
03:00:57,228 --> 03:01:02,524
No soldiers in the annals of war
fought more bravely.
1729
03:01:02,859 --> 03:01:05,986
Condoling with the mourners
for the dead...
1730
03:01:06,154 --> 03:01:10,032
...and sympathizing
with the severely wounded...
1731
03:01:10,200 --> 03:01:14,036
...I congratulate the Army
that the numbers of casualties...
1732
03:01:14,204 --> 03:01:18,499
- ...have been comparatively so small."
- Compared to what?
1733
03:01:18,666 --> 03:01:21,418
The Scots at Culloden?
The English at Bunker Hill?
1734
03:01:21,586 --> 03:01:23,045
The French at Waterloo?
1735
03:01:23,213 --> 03:01:25,798
"...the thanks of the nation."
1736
03:01:25,965 --> 03:01:30,344
Signed: Abraham Lincoln.
1737
03:01:46,027 --> 03:01:48,403
Battalion!
1738
03:01:48,655 --> 03:01:51,198
Dismissed!
1739
03:02:01,584 --> 03:02:05,921
At this Christmas season,
when the good fairies are in the air...
1740
03:02:06,089 --> 03:02:08,632
...we can hardly wonder
at the sudden miracle...
1741
03:02:08,800 --> 03:02:12,761
...that has shown us
the Fredericksburg affair in its true light...
1742
03:02:12,929 --> 03:02:18,141
...and given us occasion for national joy
instead of national sorrow.
1743
03:03:25,043 --> 03:03:27,669
General Jackson?
1744
03:03:27,879 --> 03:03:30,839
Do you know
what these decorations signify?
1745
03:03:34,135 --> 03:03:36,511
I was wondering if someone
would tell me.
1746
03:03:40,975 --> 03:03:44,728
- This is Santa's sled.
- I see.
1747
03:03:47,106 --> 03:03:50,609
And this is stuff made of candy.
1748
03:03:52,028 --> 03:03:55,364
This is a gingerbread snowflake.
1749
03:03:55,531 --> 03:03:59,368
And this is a paper chain of angels.
1750
03:04:03,456 --> 03:04:06,458
Did you make this angel?
1751
03:04:07,085 --> 03:04:08,877
It's lovely.
1752
03:04:11,547 --> 03:04:14,716
- How old are you, Jane?
- I'm 5 years old.
1753
03:04:14,884 --> 03:04:17,552
- How old are you?
- I'm 38.
1754
03:04:17,720 --> 03:04:22,557
My father is 38. He's a soldier like you.
1755
03:04:22,725 --> 03:04:25,686
I haven't seen him for more than a year.
1756
03:04:26,896 --> 03:04:33,318
I've not met your father, but I'm told
he's a very good man, very brave man.
1757
03:04:33,611 --> 03:04:37,072
I'm sure he misses you
as much as I miss my daughter.
1758
03:04:37,490 --> 03:04:40,575
When did you last see your daughter?
1759
03:04:42,578 --> 03:04:44,955
I've never seen her.
1760
03:04:45,123 --> 03:04:47,582
She was born just days ago.
1761
03:04:47,750 --> 03:04:52,713
I want to see her more than anything
in this world.
1762
03:04:52,922 --> 03:04:57,759
I want to see her as much as
your father wants to see you.
1763
03:05:00,013 --> 03:05:04,057
You see that star at the top of the tree?
1764
03:05:04,767 --> 03:05:07,394
The star of Bethlehem.
1765
03:05:08,813 --> 03:05:13,108
The star that showed the wise men
where they could find the baby Jesus.
1766
03:05:13,568 --> 03:05:18,905
Mother says that star will show Daddy
how to find his way back home.
1767
03:05:22,869 --> 03:05:27,622
Well, your mother's very wise,
very good person.
1768
03:05:28,207 --> 03:05:30,834
Your daddy will come home.
1769
03:05:32,420 --> 03:05:35,297
All the daddies will come home.
1770
03:05:38,468 --> 03:05:40,719
Oh, my.
1771
03:05:59,238 --> 03:06:03,158
Gentlemen, let us lift our glasses
to our Southern women...
1772
03:06:03,326 --> 03:06:06,745
...without whose bravery and fortitude...
1773
03:06:07,330 --> 03:06:11,124
...without whose love,
without whose endurance and sacrifice...
1774
03:06:11,542 --> 03:06:14,336
...not a man among us
can stay the course...
1775
03:06:16,756 --> 03:06:19,174
...or defend the cause.
1776
03:06:19,509 --> 03:06:21,718
Hear, hear.
1777
03:06:21,886 --> 03:06:23,178
Hear, hear.
1778
03:06:23,471 --> 03:06:28,892
Now it's time for a carol.
Come up. Everybody must sing.
1779
03:06:29,060 --> 03:06:32,187
- Carols are my favorite.
- I can't sing.
1780
03:06:32,355 --> 03:06:35,607
Of course you can sing, Mr. Jackson.
You can breathe, can't you?
1781
03:06:35,775 --> 03:06:40,445
Just let your breath flow gently over
your vocal chords and nature does the rest.
1782
03:06:48,246 --> 03:06:53,250
Silent night.
1783
03:06:53,960 --> 03:06:58,588
Holy night
1784
03:06:59,590 --> 03:07:01,842
Dearest Fanny:
1785
03:07:02,009 --> 03:07:07,722
The bugle has just sounded,
3rd Brigade extinguish lights.
1786
03:07:08,641 --> 03:07:12,686
It makes me happy to think of you
and my dear little ones at home...
1787
03:07:12,854 --> 03:07:14,563
...all nestled together.
1788
03:07:15,523 --> 03:07:21,736
I know that it is all well and bright with her
whose sweet face shines in my heart.
1789
03:07:23,239 --> 03:07:28,076
Come and let me kiss your dear lips,
precious wife.
1790
03:07:28,703 --> 03:07:33,832
Let our hearts worship together God's love,
and wisdom, and mercy.
1791
03:07:35,835 --> 03:07:40,255
Yes, all is well, well with us, darling...
1792
03:07:41,257 --> 03:07:47,596
...well if we can only meet at last,
as I pray God we may.
1793
03:08:51,661 --> 03:08:54,829
Hey, Billy Yank.
1794
03:08:59,168 --> 03:09:03,421
- That's a mighty nice song.
- I'm pleased you find it so agreeable.
1795
03:09:03,714 --> 03:09:07,884
I'd like it even more if I had some coffee
to wash it down.
1796
03:09:08,052 --> 03:09:11,429
- Want some baccy?
- Sure, Johnny.
1797
03:09:11,681 --> 03:09:14,182
Have you got a lame horse?
1798
03:09:15,184 --> 03:09:18,061
What do you be wanting to trade
for a lame horse?
1799
03:09:18,229 --> 03:09:20,063
Would you take General Burnside?
1800
03:09:21,857 --> 03:09:26,361
No. I guess I'll keep the horsehide.
1801
03:09:27,154 --> 03:09:29,239
Come on, get your baccy.
1802
03:11:04,835 --> 03:11:09,923
Mr. Smith, are you aware that the Bible
gives models of official battle reports?
1803
03:11:10,091 --> 03:11:13,635
- No, sir.
- Nevertheless, there are such.
1804
03:11:13,803 --> 03:11:18,139
Consider the narrative of Joshua's battles
with the Amalekites.
1805
03:11:18,307 --> 03:11:20,934
It has clearness and modesty, brevity.
1806
03:11:21,102 --> 03:11:26,106
And it traces the victory to the right source,
the blessing of God.
1807
03:11:27,817 --> 03:11:30,652
Has it helped you with your reports, sir?
1808
03:11:30,820 --> 03:11:33,488
Anybody home?
1809
03:11:35,491 --> 03:11:39,160
Afternoon, General Jackson.
1810
03:11:44,458 --> 03:11:46,376
What's this?
1811
03:11:56,512 --> 03:11:58,179
- New recruits.
- Ha, ha.
1812
03:11:58,347 --> 03:11:59,722
My mama helped me make these.
1813
03:11:59,932 --> 03:12:03,309
Mm? That's fine.
1814
03:12:07,606 --> 03:12:12,026
- Left, right. Left, right.
- Child, that hat is a bit too large for you.
1815
03:12:12,319 --> 03:12:14,195
However...
1816
03:12:33,716 --> 03:12:34,966
...there.
1817
03:12:35,217 --> 03:12:38,470
I believe that suits a young girl
better than an old soldier.
1818
03:12:40,890 --> 03:12:42,932
Mama's baking some biscuits.
1819
03:12:43,100 --> 03:12:47,729
You know, I was thinking of walking over
to the big house for a nice hot cup of tea.
1820
03:12:47,938 --> 03:12:52,400
And I would very much like the company
of one beautiful little lady.
1821
03:12:52,568 --> 03:12:57,238
Yes, General Jackson,
a hot cup of chamomile.
1822
03:13:03,537 --> 03:13:09,751
Uh, Mr. Smith, you may continue
writing the reports.
1823
03:13:11,253 --> 03:13:15,757
Consult first and second Samuel...
1824
03:13:16,175 --> 03:13:18,384
...and first and second Kings.
1825
03:13:18,552 --> 03:13:20,929
They will be of help to you.
1826
03:13:21,096 --> 03:13:22,597
Shall we go?
1827
03:13:22,765 --> 03:13:26,226
Do you prefer butter biscuits
or sugar cookies?
1828
03:13:26,393 --> 03:13:31,189
Oh, my. I know your mother's biscuits
are first-rate.
1829
03:13:44,036 --> 03:13:46,287
Whoo!
1830
03:13:52,962 --> 03:13:54,379
Whoo!
1831
03:13:56,674 --> 03:13:57,757
Coward.
1832
03:13:58,425 --> 03:14:00,927
It's a fine thing for you
to call me a coward...
1833
03:14:01,095 --> 03:14:04,931
...when you spend all my salary
on stockings.
1834
03:14:06,475 --> 03:14:07,809
Whoo!
1835
03:14:11,814 --> 03:14:16,276
The first lady must look good
if her husband looks like a baboon.
1836
03:14:19,613 --> 03:14:22,907
You must be the missing "link-oln."
1837
03:14:25,369 --> 03:14:28,746
I begin to wonder
who runs the White House.
1838
03:14:35,754 --> 03:14:38,047
And that's the long and the short of it.
1839
03:14:41,844 --> 03:14:44,178
And now, my gallant friends...
1840
03:14:44,346 --> 03:14:47,849
...my own dear beau will sing
a verse of his original creation...
1841
03:14:48,183 --> 03:14:50,685
...and invites you to all join in
on the chorus.
1842
03:14:50,853 --> 03:14:52,228
"The Bonnie Blue Flag!"
1843
03:15:02,239 --> 03:15:04,157
We are a band of brothers
1844
03:15:04,325 --> 03:15:06,200
And native to the soil
1845
03:15:06,368 --> 03:15:09,996
Fighting for our liberty with....
1846
03:15:10,164 --> 03:15:14,000
And when our rights were threatened
The cry rose near and far
1847
03:15:14,335 --> 03:15:18,463
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1848
03:15:18,631 --> 03:15:22,258
Hurrah, Hurrah
For Southern rights, hurrah
1849
03:15:22,718 --> 03:15:27,096
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1850
03:15:28,223 --> 03:15:31,643
We owe you Texas boys a debt of gratitude
for putting on these shows.
1851
03:15:31,810 --> 03:15:35,104
Colonel Patton, any man who can't handle
a guitar or a fiddle...
1852
03:15:35,272 --> 03:15:37,899
...ain't fit to carry a musket.
1853
03:15:39,234 --> 03:15:40,943
But now, when Northern treachery
1854
03:15:41,111 --> 03:15:43,029
Attempts our rights to mar
1855
03:15:43,197 --> 03:15:47,033
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1856
03:15:47,409 --> 03:15:51,120
Hurrah, Hurrah
For Southern rights, hurrah
1857
03:15:51,580 --> 03:15:55,375
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1858
03:15:59,922 --> 03:16:03,591
Then here's to our Confederacy
Strong we are and brave
1859
03:16:03,759 --> 03:16:07,929
Like patriots of old we'll fight
Our heritage to save
1860
03:16:08,097 --> 03:16:11,974
And rather than submit to shame
To die we would prefer
1861
03:16:12,142 --> 03:16:16,145
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1862
03:16:16,313 --> 03:16:20,066
Hurrah, hurrah
For Southern rights, hurrah
1863
03:16:20,401 --> 03:16:24,278
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1864
03:16:24,655 --> 03:16:28,408
Hurrah, hurrah
For Southern rights, hurrah
1865
03:16:28,575 --> 03:16:32,620
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star
1866
03:16:48,846 --> 03:16:52,473
Attention, battalions.
1867
03:16:55,060 --> 03:16:56,769
Halt.
1868
03:16:57,396 --> 03:17:00,022
- Sergeant, keep these men here for now.
- Yes, sir.
1869
03:17:09,658 --> 03:17:11,367
Sir.
1870
03:17:13,245 --> 03:17:15,413
The men have rounded up three deserters.
1871
03:17:17,166 --> 03:17:19,834
Establish the courts-martial.
1872
03:17:20,002 --> 03:17:23,379
Have them arraigned.
See they're given a fair hearing.
1873
03:17:23,797 --> 03:17:26,424
Uh, yes, sir.
1874
03:17:31,263 --> 03:17:32,889
Yes?
1875
03:17:33,807 --> 03:17:37,018
Well, I thought that you should know, sir.
1876
03:17:39,062 --> 03:17:41,939
They all belong to the Stonewall brigade.
1877
03:17:54,203 --> 03:17:55,870
Do your duty, soldier.
1878
03:17:57,206 --> 03:17:58,873
Yes, sir.
1879
03:17:59,041 --> 03:18:02,043
Mr. Pendleton, if they are innocent,
these men will go free.
1880
03:18:02,419 --> 03:18:05,087
But if they are found guilty of desertion...
1881
03:18:05,255 --> 03:18:09,050
...the courts-martial condemns them
to death. It must be so.
1882
03:18:15,641 --> 03:18:17,391
Yes, sir.
1883
03:18:18,101 --> 03:18:19,769
Of course, sir.
1884
03:18:19,937 --> 03:18:21,979
I'm not done yet.
1885
03:18:27,736 --> 03:18:29,111
Sandie.
1886
03:18:37,830 --> 03:18:44,001
If the Republicans lose their little war,
they are voted out in the next election...
1887
03:18:44,169 --> 03:18:48,422
...and they return to their homes
in New York or Massachusetts or Illinois...
1888
03:18:48,590 --> 03:18:50,925
...fat with their war profits.
1889
03:18:52,344 --> 03:18:57,598
If we lose, we lose our country.
1890
03:18:58,600 --> 03:19:01,102
We lose our independence.
1891
03:19:02,813 --> 03:19:05,731
We lose it all.
1892
03:19:12,948 --> 03:19:15,491
Our soldiers are brave.
1893
03:19:16,159 --> 03:19:19,996
They have endured hardships none of them
could ever have imagined.
1894
03:19:20,163 --> 03:19:23,332
Desertion is not a solitary crime.
1895
03:19:24,585 --> 03:19:27,587
It's a crime against the tens of thousands
of veterans...
1896
03:19:27,754 --> 03:19:30,840
...who are huddled together
in the harsh cold of this winter.
1897
03:19:31,008 --> 03:19:34,343
Against all those who have sacrificed.
1898
03:19:35,178 --> 03:19:38,180
Against all those who have fallen.
1899
03:19:38,390 --> 03:19:43,644
Against all the women and the children
we have left alone to fend for themselves.
1900
03:19:44,646 --> 03:19:49,358
I regard the crime of desertion as a sin
against the Army of the Lord.
1901
03:19:55,157 --> 03:19:56,824
Duty is ours.
1902
03:19:58,076 --> 03:20:00,745
The consequences are God's.
1903
03:20:25,646 --> 03:20:28,689
I am a soldier in the 4th Virginia.
1904
03:20:28,982 --> 03:20:32,318
And in the 4th Virginia I will stay.
1905
03:20:32,486 --> 03:20:34,862
And if needs be, die.
1906
03:20:45,165 --> 03:20:47,875
The courts-martial of the Army
of Northern Virginia...
1907
03:20:48,043 --> 03:20:51,545
...has found you guilty of desertion
and sentences you to death...
1908
03:20:51,713 --> 03:20:53,923
...by firing squad.
1909
03:20:54,174 --> 03:20:57,051
Lieutenant, do your duty.
1910
03:20:59,221 --> 03:21:01,430
Detail, ready!
1911
03:21:02,391 --> 03:21:04,350
Aim.
1912
03:21:04,518 --> 03:21:06,394
Fire!
1913
03:21:07,396 --> 03:21:10,356
Recover, arm!
1914
03:21:27,082 --> 03:21:29,125
Morning, Lawrence.
1915
03:21:29,334 --> 03:21:30,876
- Any mail?
- No.
1916
03:21:31,044 --> 03:21:33,963
But I did manage to get my hands
on a New York Tribune.
1917
03:21:34,131 --> 03:21:38,551
- What are they saying about us now?
- Well, not much about us.
1918
03:21:38,719 --> 03:21:41,971
I mean, that is, this Army here
in Stoneman's Switch.
1919
03:21:42,139 --> 03:21:45,891
Sure are kicking up a fuss about
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
1920
03:21:46,059 --> 03:21:50,479
Oh. Says here that enlistments are down
and desertions are up.
1921
03:21:50,647 --> 03:21:54,233
- Any grumbling among the men?
- Well, not in our regiment.
1922
03:21:54,401 --> 03:21:58,446
A few wonder out loud why they should be
risking their lives for the darkies.
1923
03:21:58,613 --> 03:22:01,282
Well, Tom, you know my position.
1924
03:22:01,450 --> 03:22:04,952
I signed up to preserve the Union.
The president did the right thing.
1925
03:22:05,120 --> 03:22:10,624
What's the use of uniting the country
by force and leaving slavery in place?
1926
03:22:11,126 --> 03:22:13,461
It sure riled up those Johnny Rebs.
1927
03:22:13,628 --> 03:22:16,756
They'll think Lincoln incited the slaves
to rise against them.
1928
03:22:16,923 --> 03:22:18,466
Why shouldn't they?
1929
03:22:18,633 --> 03:22:22,303
Freeing the slaves wasn't a war aim
when this began, but war changes things.
1930
03:22:22,471 --> 03:22:25,181
- It sorts things out.
- Well, I don't know, Lawrence.
1931
03:22:25,348 --> 03:22:28,225
Not everybody feels the way we do
about the darkies.
1932
03:22:28,393 --> 03:22:31,145
Especially when it comes to fighting
and dying.
1933
03:22:31,313 --> 03:22:32,897
Tom.
1934
03:22:33,231 --> 03:22:34,523
Do me a favor.
1935
03:22:35,150 --> 03:22:40,154
Don't call me Lawrence
and don't call Negroes "darkies."
1936
03:22:40,322 --> 03:22:45,117
That's a patronizing expression
from which we must free ourselves.
1937
03:22:48,330 --> 03:22:53,459
Come outside. I want to, uh...
I want to show you something.
1938
03:23:15,440 --> 03:23:17,942
All these thousands of men.
1939
03:23:18,110 --> 03:23:20,903
Many of them not much more than boys.
1940
03:23:21,071 --> 03:23:23,405
Each one of them some mother's son.
1941
03:23:23,573 --> 03:23:27,827
Some sister's brother.
Some daughter's father.
1942
03:23:28,245 --> 03:23:34,208
Each one of them a whole person,
loved and cherished in some home far away.
1943
03:23:35,043 --> 03:23:37,837
Many of them will never return.
1944
03:23:41,216 --> 03:23:44,051
An army is power.
1945
03:23:44,970 --> 03:23:48,889
Its entire purpose is to coerce others.
1946
03:23:49,558 --> 03:23:53,727
Now, this kind of power cannot be used
carelessly or recklessly.
1947
03:23:54,062 --> 03:23:56,730
This kind of power can do great harm.
1948
03:23:59,317 --> 03:24:03,821
We have seen more suffering
than any man should ever see...
1949
03:24:03,989 --> 03:24:10,119
...and if there is going to be an end to it,
it must be an end that justifies the cost.
1950
03:24:11,413 --> 03:24:16,917
Now, somewhere out there
is the Confederate Army.
1951
03:24:17,252 --> 03:24:21,589
They claim they are fighting
for their independence, for their freedom.
1952
03:24:21,756 --> 03:24:24,550
Now, I cannot question their integrity.
1953
03:24:24,718 --> 03:24:28,262
I believe they are wrong,
but I cannot question it.
1954
03:24:28,722 --> 03:24:33,350
But I do question a system that defends
its own freedom while it denies it to others.
1955
03:24:33,518 --> 03:24:35,853
To an entire race of men.
1956
03:24:37,022 --> 03:24:41,609
I will admit it, Tom, war is a scourge.
But so is slavery.
1957
03:24:41,776 --> 03:24:47,198
It is the systematic coercion
of one group of men over another.
1958
03:24:47,908 --> 03:24:51,118
It has been around since
the book of Genesis.
1959
03:24:51,286 --> 03:24:54,622
It exists in every corner of the world.
1960
03:24:54,789 --> 03:24:57,291
But that's no excuse for us
to tolerate it here...
1961
03:24:57,459 --> 03:25:02,213
...when we find it right before
our very eyes, in our own country.
1962
03:25:07,469 --> 03:25:12,348
As God is my witness, there is no one
I hold in my heart dearer than you.
1963
03:25:14,684 --> 03:25:21,106
But if your life or mine is part of the price
to end this curse and free the Negro...
1964
03:25:23,818 --> 03:25:25,903
...then let God's will be done.
1965
03:26:07,070 --> 03:26:09,780
Oh, my, general,
we do appreciate the gift.
1966
03:26:10,198 --> 03:26:13,033
Where do you get all these lemons?
1967
03:26:13,201 --> 03:26:16,161
It's a kind providence
that provides kindly.
1968
03:26:16,329 --> 03:26:19,832
Miss Corbin, the Yankees have not
succeeded in cutting our rail lines...
1969
03:26:20,000 --> 03:26:21,250
...to the South.
1970
03:26:22,210 --> 03:26:27,715
Here is to the sultry, balmy South.
1971
03:26:27,882 --> 03:26:30,634
And, Miss Corbin,
here's to your engagement.
1972
03:26:31,052 --> 03:26:36,098
May Sandie Pendleton prove to be
as fine a husband as he is a soldier.
1973
03:26:37,392 --> 03:26:39,310
Hear, hear.
1974
03:26:41,604 --> 03:26:43,105
Mm.
1975
03:26:47,902 --> 03:26:49,486
Mm.
1976
03:26:52,407 --> 03:26:54,575
That's good, it's not too sweet.
1977
03:26:54,743 --> 03:26:56,285
May I have some more?
1978
03:26:56,453 --> 03:26:58,412
Sure.
1979
03:27:36,785 --> 03:27:38,744
Mrs. Corbin.
1980
03:27:38,912 --> 03:27:41,455
Thank you for your many kindnesses.
1981
03:27:41,623 --> 03:27:45,459
Our cause and our country
are in your debt.
1982
03:27:45,627 --> 03:27:48,295
I only regret, general,
that we could not do more.
1983
03:27:48,463 --> 03:27:52,257
You'll come visit us again
when this cruel war is over?
1984
03:27:52,425 --> 03:27:56,345
I should like to say goodbye to your
daughter. I shall miss her very much.
1985
03:27:56,513 --> 03:27:59,431
Certainly, general.
She's not feeling very well today.
1986
03:27:59,599 --> 03:28:04,144
All of the children have come down
with the fever. Please, come in.
1987
03:28:12,320 --> 03:28:14,321
Well, now.
1988
03:28:16,491 --> 03:28:18,367
What's this?
1989
03:28:22,580 --> 03:28:27,167
How can I play with my friend
if she insists on staying in bed?
1990
03:28:45,228 --> 03:28:46,979
Jane.
1991
03:28:47,439 --> 03:28:50,899
Will you place this angel on your tree
next Christmas?
1992
03:28:51,067 --> 03:28:52,401
Mm-hm.
1993
03:29:07,917 --> 03:29:09,668
Bless you, child.
1994
03:29:13,548 --> 03:29:16,550
Mrs. Corbin, I must return to my men.
1995
03:29:16,718 --> 03:29:19,219
My physician, Doctor McGuire,
will attend to her.
1996
03:29:19,387 --> 03:29:23,640
- I will send him directly.
- Bless you, general.
1997
03:29:34,486 --> 03:29:36,904
Fresh meat. What a change.
1998
03:29:37,071 --> 03:29:41,658
Yeah. A live steer around these parts
is as rare as a peacock in a poultry pen.
1999
03:29:55,089 --> 03:29:57,424
It was scarlet fever.
2000
03:29:59,177 --> 03:30:02,429
The children are all right.
They'll be fine. Except...
2001
03:30:04,933 --> 03:30:07,184
I'm so sorry, sir.
2002
03:30:07,810 --> 03:30:09,937
The little girl, Jane.
2003
03:30:10,104 --> 03:30:14,775
She did not survive. She died, sir.
2004
03:30:31,960 --> 03:30:33,210
No, Sandie.
2005
03:31:31,227 --> 03:31:33,020
What is it?
2006
03:31:34,897 --> 03:31:36,607
He's never cried before.
2007
03:31:37,609 --> 03:31:42,362
Not for all the blood and all the death,
not for his young students from VMI...
2008
03:31:42,864 --> 03:31:45,198
...not for his friends...
2009
03:31:46,701 --> 03:31:48,702
...not for anyone.
2010
03:31:49,704 --> 03:31:52,039
Not so, Sandie.
2011
03:31:53,416 --> 03:31:56,960
I think he is crying for them all.
2012
03:33:39,188 --> 03:33:42,399
She's too pretty to look like me.
2013
03:33:42,692 --> 03:33:46,153
Nonsense, Thomas.
2014
03:33:46,446 --> 03:33:49,406
She is very like you.
2015
03:33:51,409 --> 03:33:55,495
She rises early and she loves
to be held in my arms.
2016
03:34:04,338 --> 03:34:08,133
I have never seen you look so well,
Thomas.
2017
03:34:09,427 --> 03:34:12,429
You are handsomer than ever.
2018
03:34:23,191 --> 03:34:27,569
And grant that this child
now to be baptized therein...
2019
03:34:27,737 --> 03:34:30,113
...may receive the fullness of thy grace...
2020
03:34:30,281 --> 03:34:33,158
...and ever remain the number
of thy faithful children.
2021
03:34:33,534 --> 03:34:37,871
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
2022
03:34:38,039 --> 03:34:39,623
Amen.
2023
03:34:48,049 --> 03:34:50,050
What is the Christian name of the child?
2024
03:34:50,468 --> 03:34:53,220
- Julia Laura.
- Julia Laura.
2025
03:34:53,721 --> 03:34:56,431
I baptize thee in the name of the Father...
2026
03:34:57,767 --> 03:34:59,768
...and of the Son...
2027
03:35:01,062 --> 03:35:03,271
...and of the Holy Ghost.
2028
03:35:03,981 --> 03:35:05,273
Amen.
2029
03:35:05,525 --> 03:35:06,733
Amen.
2030
03:35:27,755 --> 03:35:29,381
He won't agree.
2031
03:35:34,512 --> 03:35:35,971
Mr. Minnis.
2032
03:35:36,597 --> 03:35:41,184
Would you tell him that you were sent
to take General Lee's photograph...
2033
03:35:41,352 --> 03:35:45,856
...but that General Lee declined unless
General Jackson's was taken first.
2034
03:35:46,023 --> 03:35:47,607
Certainly, Captain Pendleton.
2035
03:35:57,910 --> 03:36:00,078
No photographs.
2036
03:36:02,164 --> 03:36:07,919
Sir, I was sent from Richmond
to take a photograph of General Lee...
2037
03:36:08,087 --> 03:36:12,632
...but the general decided that
he did not want his photograph taken...
2038
03:36:12,800 --> 03:36:16,469
...until I had taken your photograph first.
2039
03:36:16,637 --> 03:36:20,974
Sir, General Lee was most insistent
on the importance of your photograph.
2040
03:36:21,893 --> 03:36:25,186
I cannot refuse General Lee's request.
2041
03:36:35,656 --> 03:36:38,241
Where do you wish me to stand?
2042
03:37:17,823 --> 03:37:21,451
Mr. Booth is here the entire month.
2043
03:37:21,869 --> 03:37:24,955
He's playing in Hamlet,
Katherine and Petruchio...
2044
03:37:25,122 --> 03:37:29,084
...The Merchant of Venice,
Richard III and Macbeth.
2045
03:37:30,378 --> 03:37:32,212
Which is your favorite, Mr. President?
2046
03:37:32,713 --> 03:37:34,881
I think nothing equals Macbeth.
2047
03:37:35,049 --> 03:37:36,716
I have read it many times.
2048
03:37:37,468 --> 03:37:40,387
- I am curious to see Mr. Booth's rendition.
- Indeed?
2049
03:37:47,728 --> 03:37:50,981
I am told Booth does
the death scene spectacularly.
2050
03:37:51,148 --> 03:37:54,526
Very physical.
Wilder than his brother Edwin.
2051
03:37:54,694 --> 03:37:58,196
That is one reproach I have
of Shakespeare's heroes.
2052
03:37:58,364 --> 03:38:00,365
What reproach is that, dear?
2053
03:38:00,533 --> 03:38:02,826
They all make long speeches
when they are killed.
2054
03:38:04,370 --> 03:38:06,079
They do indeed.
2055
03:38:08,124 --> 03:38:11,126
Is this a dagger which I see before me...
2056
03:38:11,293 --> 03:38:14,587
...handle towards my hand?
2057
03:38:14,755 --> 03:38:17,674
Come, let me clutch thee.
2058
03:38:19,176 --> 03:38:21,928
I have thee not, yet I see thee still.
2059
03:38:22,555 --> 03:38:27,517
Art thou not, fatal vision,
sensible to feeling as to sight?
2060
03:38:27,852 --> 03:38:32,147
Or art thou but a dagger of the mind...
2061
03:38:34,150 --> 03:38:36,192
...a false creation...
2062
03:38:36,444 --> 03:38:40,321
...proceeding from
the heat-oppressed brain?
2063
03:38:40,489 --> 03:38:41,990
I see thee yet...
2064
03:38:42,324 --> 03:38:44,743
...in form as palpable as this
which now I draw.
2065
03:38:44,910 --> 03:38:47,370
Thou marshall'st me
the way that I was going...
2066
03:38:47,872 --> 03:38:51,624
...and such an instrument I was to use.
2067
03:38:53,210 --> 03:38:56,755
Mine eyes are made the fools
o' the other senses.
2068
03:38:57,298 --> 03:38:59,299
I see thee still...
2069
03:39:00,301 --> 03:39:04,471
...and on thy blade and dudgeon...
2070
03:39:05,306 --> 03:39:09,017
...gouts of blood,
which was not so before.
2071
03:39:09,769 --> 03:39:13,772
It is the bloody business which informs
thus to mine eyes.
2072
03:39:15,983 --> 03:39:18,193
Whiles I threat...
2073
03:39:18,694 --> 03:39:19,861
...he lives.
2074
03:39:20,821 --> 03:39:25,200
Words to the heat of deeds too cold
breath gives.
2075
03:39:27,787 --> 03:39:31,831
I go, and it is done.
2076
03:39:33,334 --> 03:39:35,168
The bell invites me.
2077
03:39:37,171 --> 03:39:39,422
Hear it not, Duncan...
2078
03:39:40,049 --> 03:39:44,385
...for it is a knell
that summons thee to heaven...
2079
03:39:45,638 --> 03:39:47,180
...or to hell.
2080
03:39:59,902 --> 03:40:02,362
Well, Mr. Booth, another triumph.
2081
03:40:03,197 --> 03:40:05,824
The president and Mrs. Lincoln
wish to see you.
2082
03:40:12,331 --> 03:40:14,541
You may tell that tyrant...
2083
03:40:15,918 --> 03:40:18,002
...that destroyer of civil liberties...
2084
03:40:18,838 --> 03:40:20,755
...that warmonger...
2085
03:40:21,882 --> 03:40:23,383
...that I am indisposed. Huh?
2086
03:40:26,720 --> 03:40:29,889
Better still, tell him nothing.
2087
03:40:32,059 --> 03:40:34,394
Tell him I'd already gone.
2088
03:40:45,239 --> 03:40:46,739
Golly gee, Booth.
2089
03:40:47,992 --> 03:40:51,578
An endorsement from
the president of the United States.
2090
03:40:53,414 --> 03:40:55,623
Could be a big thing for your career.
2091
03:41:18,022 --> 03:41:19,689
General, from what we've observed...
2092
03:41:19,857 --> 03:41:22,609
...Hooker has moved five corps,
maybe 70,000 men.
2093
03:41:22,776 --> 03:41:25,236
They're digging in around
Chancellor's mansion.
2094
03:41:25,404 --> 03:41:30,283
Sedgwick has another 40,000
spread out along the Stafford Heights...
2095
03:41:30,451 --> 03:41:34,746
...on the north bank of the Rappahannock
in front of General Early at Fredericksburg.
2096
03:41:34,914 --> 03:41:39,375
Now, there's possibly 30,000 more
back along the river north of here...
2097
03:41:39,543 --> 03:41:41,169
...that we've not yet located.
2098
03:41:42,421 --> 03:41:44,547
We're not in a position of strength here.
2099
03:41:44,715 --> 03:41:48,426
We owe a great deal to the unexplainable,
the mystery of General Hooker...
2100
03:41:48,594 --> 03:41:50,970
...who's allowed us to maneuver freely...
2101
03:41:51,138 --> 03:41:56,517
...between two parts of an army
that's more than twice our strength.
2102
03:41:57,102 --> 03:42:00,563
We do not yet understand his plan.
2103
03:42:00,731 --> 03:42:03,024
He may still plan a move
toward Gordonsville...
2104
03:42:03,192 --> 03:42:05,526
...move around below us,
cut us off from Richmond.
2105
03:42:05,819 --> 03:42:08,321
And there's still Sedgwick on the river.
2106
03:42:08,656 --> 03:42:13,034
Now Sedgwick shows no signs of moving,
but that could change.
2107
03:42:13,410 --> 03:42:15,161
They're anchored against the river...
2108
03:42:15,329 --> 03:42:18,665
...and their lines continue
down below Chancellorsville...
2109
03:42:18,832 --> 03:42:20,917
...then curves along here.
2110
03:42:21,126 --> 03:42:24,504
We've observed their lines curving out
in these open clearings...
2111
03:42:24,672 --> 03:42:27,674
...then extending on out to the west.
2112
03:42:27,841 --> 03:42:31,427
Then what, general?
Do you know where their right flank is?
2113
03:42:31,595 --> 03:42:34,931
- No. Not yet.
- We must know. We must know.
2114
03:42:35,099 --> 03:42:38,601
If he marches in that direction,
he could threaten our flank...
2115
03:42:38,769 --> 03:42:43,106
...or be going toward Gordonsville
before we can react.
2116
03:42:46,568 --> 03:42:49,195
Out here, in the west,
along this turnpike, here...
2117
03:42:49,363 --> 03:42:54,075
...their right flank's in the air.
It's the one place they're not digging in.
2118
03:42:54,243 --> 03:42:56,661
They're not expecting any pressure there.
2119
03:42:57,162 --> 03:43:01,582
- Who's on their flank?
- 11th Corps. Oliver Howard.
2120
03:43:01,750 --> 03:43:06,462
Mm-hm. Were there any roads
farther down below the turnpike?
2121
03:43:06,630 --> 03:43:09,424
Yes, sir. Indeed there are, good roads.
2122
03:43:09,591 --> 03:43:13,011
That's Catherine's Furnace here
and there's a road here.
2123
03:43:13,178 --> 03:43:16,431
- There's a road over this way.
- Then, we must hit them there.
2124
03:43:16,598 --> 03:43:19,892
Then attack the flank.
They will have nowhere to go.
2125
03:43:20,060 --> 03:43:23,813
They'll have to go back across the river
or we will destroy them.
2126
03:43:23,981 --> 03:43:27,567
We're too close to their lines.
They'll observe our movements.
2127
03:43:27,735 --> 03:43:30,069
There must be another road farther down.
2128
03:43:30,904 --> 03:43:33,072
Now, is there someone we know?
2129
03:43:33,240 --> 03:43:36,200
Someone we can trust who knows the area?
2130
03:43:36,618 --> 03:43:38,995
Captain Pendleton.
Find Reverend Lacy for me.
2131
03:43:39,163 --> 03:43:41,247
I'm, uh, here, sir.
2132
03:43:41,415 --> 03:43:43,708
This is my chaplain,
the Reverend Tucker Lacy.
2133
03:43:43,876 --> 03:43:45,918
He has family in this area.
2134
03:43:46,086 --> 03:43:48,129
General Lee.
2135
03:43:49,256 --> 03:43:52,842
Reverend, it would be very helpful
if you could find us a safe route...
2136
03:43:53,010 --> 03:43:57,472
- ...around the enemy.
- Well, sir, uh, there, I know a family.
2137
03:43:57,639 --> 03:44:02,185
The Wellfords. Uh, I suggest a visit to them.
We may find ourselves a guide.
2138
03:44:02,353 --> 03:44:06,898
Please go at once, Mr. Lacy. Find someone
who might show us how we might proceed.
2139
03:44:07,066 --> 03:44:08,775
Yes, sir.
2140
03:44:10,819 --> 03:44:15,615
Then it has been decided, general.
This mission will be yours.
2141
03:44:18,077 --> 03:44:20,536
I would not have it any other way.
2142
03:44:32,966 --> 03:44:35,301
Where is General Jackson, Jim?
2143
03:44:36,804 --> 03:44:39,263
He done gone to see his officers, sir.
2144
03:44:43,227 --> 03:44:48,481
How come that you know so much
about what the general is thinking, Jim?
2145
03:44:49,316 --> 03:44:50,775
None of us do.
2146
03:44:50,943 --> 03:44:54,278
The general never tells me nothing, sir.
2147
03:44:54,446 --> 03:44:57,532
But the way I knows is this:
2148
03:44:57,699 --> 03:45:01,369
The general say his prayers twice a day...
2149
03:45:01,537 --> 03:45:03,413
...morning and night.
2150
03:45:03,580 --> 03:45:08,167
But if he gets out of bed in the night
two or three times to pray...
2151
03:45:08,335 --> 03:45:11,087
...I just packs the haversack.
2152
03:45:11,255 --> 03:45:15,508
I know there's a move on hand
and hell to pay in the morning.
2153
03:45:18,011 --> 03:45:20,179
"Hell to pay in the morning."
2154
03:45:20,722 --> 03:45:21,973
Very amusing.
2155
03:45:22,558 --> 03:45:24,517
- Amusing.
- Yeah.
2156
03:45:26,019 --> 03:45:27,353
Yeah.
2157
03:45:28,564 --> 03:45:30,022
Wait.
2158
03:45:34,027 --> 03:45:36,070
There is another road.
2159
03:45:39,366 --> 03:45:42,243
It's a road that runs
well below the Federal lines.
2160
03:45:42,411 --> 03:45:45,580
The Wellford boy explained it to me.
He knows the route.
2161
03:45:45,914 --> 03:45:49,125
He will march with us to where
this road rejoins the turnpike...
2162
03:45:49,293 --> 03:45:51,919
...then we turn to the east
and attack their right flank.
2163
03:45:52,421 --> 03:45:56,883
It is a greater distance, perhaps 12 or
13 miles, but the boys can do it.
2164
03:45:57,050 --> 03:45:58,426
They have never let us down.
2165
03:46:02,681 --> 03:46:04,390
Farewell, general.
2166
03:46:05,350 --> 03:46:07,477
How many troops will you require?
2167
03:46:08,395 --> 03:46:10,146
Five, general, my whole corps.
2168
03:46:11,523 --> 03:46:13,566
And what will you leave me?
2169
03:46:13,901 --> 03:46:17,653
Well, the divisions
of Anderson and McLaws.
2170
03:46:18,906 --> 03:46:23,284
You leave me 12,000 men
against Hooker's 70,000.
2171
03:46:23,994 --> 03:46:26,245
If Hooker pushes out of his trenches...
2172
03:46:26,413 --> 03:46:30,082
...he could destroy not only the plan
but possibly the Army.
2173
03:46:30,876 --> 03:46:33,753
And there's still Sedgwick
along the river.
2174
03:46:33,921 --> 03:46:38,216
How long will he sit staring at Marye's Hill?
How long?
2175
03:46:42,054 --> 03:46:44,972
We've divided the Army before.
2176
03:46:46,475 --> 03:46:51,020
We must retain the advantage of
surprise, we must outflank the flankers.
2177
03:46:51,188 --> 03:46:54,607
We must beat them at their own game.
2178
03:46:57,069 --> 03:47:03,199
Take your entire corps,
General Jackson, and destroy the enemy.
2179
03:47:04,952 --> 03:47:07,036
God be with you.
2180
03:47:23,470 --> 03:47:25,763
Boys, my days are numbered.
2181
03:47:26,682 --> 03:47:28,516
My time has come.
2182
03:47:29,935 --> 03:47:34,730
You can laugh, but my time has come.
2183
03:47:37,693 --> 03:47:41,696
I got a 20 dollar gold piece I carried
through the war and a silver watch...
2184
03:47:41,863 --> 03:47:44,407
...my daddy sent to me
through the lines.
2185
03:47:48,203 --> 03:47:50,496
Take them off of me when I'm dead.
2186
03:47:51,873 --> 03:47:55,501
Give them to my captain to give to my
daddy when he gets back home.
2187
03:47:55,669 --> 03:47:59,213
Here's my clothes and my blanket.
Anybody who wishes can have them.
2188
03:48:00,924 --> 03:48:06,721
My rations I do not wish at all. My gun
and cartridge box I expect to die with.
2189
03:48:17,316 --> 03:48:18,858
- Mr. Smith.
- Sir.
2190
03:48:19,026 --> 03:48:23,029
Your instructions to the ranks: There is
to be no noise, I want no talking.
2191
03:48:23,196 --> 03:48:25,740
Stragglers will be bayoneted,
let the men know.
2192
03:48:25,907 --> 03:48:30,369
No muskets are to be loaded until we
deploy for battle. Secrecy, Mr. Smith.
2193
03:48:30,537 --> 03:48:33,122
Everything depends upon
the element of surprise.
2194
03:48:33,290 --> 03:48:37,126
Sir, I'll convey the orders. No stragglers.
2195
03:48:41,423 --> 03:48:44,634
- Reverend.
- May we bow our heads.
2196
03:48:46,386 --> 03:48:51,140
Dear Lord, heavenly Father,
you who know all things.
2197
03:48:51,308 --> 03:48:54,769
We face again a mighty
foe, a vast host.
2198
03:48:55,228 --> 03:48:58,147
An enemy more than twice our number.
2199
03:48:58,315 --> 03:49:02,902
But you have taught us
to fear not, to trust in you.
2200
03:49:03,236 --> 03:49:08,240
When the Philistines came before them,
the people of Israel feared Goliath.
2201
03:49:08,408 --> 03:49:10,242
Their Army was in terror.
2202
03:49:10,410 --> 03:49:14,372
No one had the courage to stand
against the mighty warrior.
2203
03:49:14,539 --> 03:49:18,584
Then you brought forth David,
a mere boy.
2204
03:49:18,752 --> 03:49:21,712
And Saul armed David with his armor...
2205
03:49:21,880 --> 03:49:25,883
...and he put a helmet
of brass upon his head.
2206
03:49:26,051 --> 03:49:29,261
Also he armed him with a coat of mail.
2207
03:49:29,429 --> 03:49:35,685
And David girded his sword upon
his armor and he assayed to go.
2208
03:50:01,169 --> 03:50:06,132
General Rodes, deploy your men on
either side of the turnpike, brigade front.
2209
03:50:06,299 --> 03:50:08,551
How soon will
General Colston's men be up?
2210
03:50:08,719 --> 03:50:10,845
We're right behind, general.
2211
03:50:15,726 --> 03:50:17,143
General Lee...
2212
03:50:18,687 --> 03:50:21,689
...I hope as soon as
practicable to attack...
2213
03:50:21,857 --> 03:50:27,153
...I trust that an ever kind providence
will bless us with great success.
2214
03:50:31,450 --> 03:50:33,743
Take this to General Lee.
2215
03:50:36,705 --> 03:50:39,707
Well, General Rodes...
2216
03:50:41,877 --> 03:50:46,130
...it appears the Virginia Military
Institute will be heard from today.
2217
03:50:47,340 --> 03:50:49,216
Deploy your brigade.
2218
03:53:04,978 --> 03:53:09,481
Two hours of daylight left.
Are you ready, General Rodes?
2219
03:53:09,941 --> 03:53:11,901
You may move forward.
2220
03:55:38,131 --> 03:55:39,840
Fall back!
2221
03:55:40,008 --> 03:55:42,176
They're coming! Get your muskets!
2222
03:56:01,154 --> 03:56:04,698
- Shoulder to shoulder! Let's go, let's go!
- Fall back!
2223
03:56:05,784 --> 03:56:08,202
Aim, fire!
2224
03:56:08,369 --> 03:56:09,828
Pull back and save yourself!
2225
03:56:46,324 --> 03:56:50,035
Fall back!
2226
03:56:50,203 --> 03:56:52,704
Fire! Fall back!
2227
03:56:53,039 --> 03:56:56,500
Into the trees, men! Fall back!
2228
03:57:09,389 --> 03:57:10,889
Into the trees!
2229
03:57:30,285 --> 03:57:32,870
Form a line! Form a line!
2230
03:57:33,037 --> 03:57:34,746
Form a line!
2231
03:57:35,415 --> 03:57:36,999
- Run! Run!
- Charge!
2232
03:58:21,544 --> 03:58:23,170
Press on!
2233
03:58:29,469 --> 03:58:33,931
Hold up right here! Aim! Fire!
2234
03:59:05,630 --> 03:59:10,259
Push on!
2235
03:59:18,101 --> 03:59:35,075
Fire!
2236
04:00:15,199 --> 04:00:18,660
Hell, that's hot. I knew
you'd be all right, you dang fool.
2237
04:00:25,668 --> 04:00:26,918
Oh, God.
2238
04:00:42,643 --> 04:00:44,061
Regroup!
2239
04:00:44,562 --> 04:00:47,439
- Stop running!
- Move into line!
2240
04:00:47,607 --> 04:00:49,274
Stay together!
2241
04:00:49,817 --> 04:00:52,527
My God! Give them the bayonet!
2242
04:00:54,697 --> 04:00:57,157
- Stop running!
- Stop running!
2243
04:00:57,325 --> 04:00:59,368
Stop running, soldier!
2244
04:00:59,535 --> 04:01:04,206
Stop running! Rally with me, men!
2245
04:01:05,541 --> 04:01:08,502
- Rally with me!
- Stop! Rally around the general!
2246
04:01:10,505 --> 04:01:14,216
We have stopped, sir. Can't see.
The lines are tangled.
2247
04:01:14,384 --> 04:01:17,719
We're mixed in with Rodes' men.
It's confusion, sir.
2248
04:01:17,887 --> 04:01:20,806
We need Hill to come up.
Hill's men can move on by us.
2249
04:01:20,973 --> 04:01:23,475
Tell General Colston
he must re-form his men.
2250
04:01:23,643 --> 04:01:27,437
Now I will strongly urge General Hill
to push forward hard.
2251
04:01:27,605 --> 04:01:32,609
We must not stop. Let General Colston
know they will run if we press them.
2252
04:01:32,777 --> 04:01:34,486
Yes, sir.
2253
04:01:35,154 --> 04:01:39,491
General Hill, you must keep the men
moving. We must keep the pressure up.
2254
04:01:39,659 --> 04:01:43,495
We have broken their flank. We can
crush them now if we can cut them off.
2255
04:01:43,663 --> 04:01:46,123
We must not give them time
to get organized.
2256
04:01:46,290 --> 04:01:48,500
General, take your division forward.
2257
04:01:48,668 --> 04:01:52,504
Press on north, move toward the river,
toward the United States ford.
2258
04:01:52,672 --> 04:01:56,007
- We must not let them escape.
- It's late in the day, general.
2259
04:01:56,175 --> 04:01:59,052
- We don't know the ground.
- Boswell!
2260
04:01:59,220 --> 04:02:04,015
You will ride with General Hill. You will find
a way through the woods to the northeast.
2261
04:02:04,183 --> 04:02:06,852
You will find the rear
of the enemy's position.
2262
04:02:07,019 --> 04:02:08,645
Yes, sir.
2263
04:02:08,813 --> 04:02:11,356
We will cut them off, general!
2264
04:02:58,237 --> 04:03:01,364
They're digging in. Must be Federal.
2265
04:03:04,660 --> 04:03:08,163
Sound carries at night,
they could be a ways off.
2266
04:03:12,418 --> 04:03:17,005
General, sir, we are beyond our lines.
This is no place for you, sir.
2267
04:03:21,052 --> 04:03:22,552
You're right.
2268
04:03:26,182 --> 04:03:28,767
It cannot go the way I'd hoped.
2269
04:03:30,686 --> 04:03:32,896
It will have to be tomorrow.
2270
04:03:35,608 --> 04:03:38,276
Gentlemen, let us return to the road.
2271
04:04:01,842 --> 04:04:04,135
Stop firing! You're firing
at your own men!
2272
04:04:05,137 --> 04:04:06,388
Hold it!
2273
04:04:08,307 --> 04:04:10,850
Hold your fire!
These are your own men here!
2274
04:04:11,310 --> 04:04:13,770
It's a lie! Pour into them, boys!
2275
04:04:16,315 --> 04:04:18,942
Cease fire! Cease fire!
2276
04:04:19,402 --> 04:04:22,612
General Hill, they're our men!
2277
04:04:28,744 --> 04:04:30,704
What have they done?
2278
04:04:34,750 --> 04:04:36,209
Who is this?
2279
04:04:38,212 --> 04:04:41,673
Oh, God, general! Are you hurt badly?
2280
04:04:41,841 --> 04:04:45,385
I'm afraid I am, in my shoulder.
2281
04:04:46,053 --> 04:04:49,264
And here.
2282
04:04:50,349 --> 04:04:54,894
- Get a litter. We need a litter. Move!
- Yes, sir.
2283
04:04:55,354 --> 04:05:00,025
- We must leave here, general.
- Here, take this. It'll help, sir.
2284
04:05:05,740 --> 04:05:08,950
I will try to keep this from
the knowledge of the troops.
2285
04:05:09,118 --> 04:05:11,870
Thank you, general.
2286
04:05:13,497 --> 04:05:18,209
The Yankees have set up a battery not a
hundred yards. We must get away!
2287
04:05:25,051 --> 04:05:28,887
Ready? Lift! Careful now.
2288
04:05:31,724 --> 04:05:34,309
Move out. Ready, lift.
2289
04:05:56,332 --> 04:06:04,339
Fire!
2290
04:06:06,926 --> 04:06:12,097
General. Lie quiet, or you
will most certainly be killed.
2291
04:06:25,820 --> 04:06:26,861
Let's go. Lift!
2292
04:06:30,116 --> 04:06:33,034
Move! Ready? Lift!
2293
04:06:52,513 --> 04:06:56,683
Doctor, good to see you.
2294
04:06:58,310 --> 04:07:02,313
I am hurt badly.
2295
04:07:03,441 --> 04:07:07,318
I fear I am dying.
2296
04:07:10,448 --> 04:07:14,534
Sir, I want you to drink this.
2297
04:07:15,870 --> 04:07:18,329
It's whiskey and morphine.
2298
04:07:23,794 --> 04:07:29,424
Your right hand is minor.
The ball lodged under the skin.
2299
04:07:30,843 --> 04:07:32,844
It's these other wounds.
2300
04:07:34,722 --> 04:07:38,057
I need to examine your arm.
2301
04:07:38,225 --> 04:07:42,312
And I'll administer chloroform
to make it painless.
2302
04:07:43,397 --> 04:07:48,067
If I should find that the condition
warrants amputation...
2303
04:07:48,527 --> 04:07:51,029
...may I proceed at once?
2304
04:07:54,700 --> 04:07:59,162
I have complete faith
in you, Dr. McGuire.
2305
04:08:00,414 --> 04:08:04,501
You must do to me whatever
you think necessary.
2306
04:08:14,220 --> 04:08:16,554
Breathe deeply, general.
2307
04:08:23,896 --> 04:08:26,856
What an infinite blessing.
2308
04:08:36,450 --> 04:08:38,660
Blessing.
2309
04:09:04,436 --> 04:09:08,314
Doesn't seem right that General Jackson
isn't here to see this.
2310
04:09:08,816 --> 04:09:15,113
No, major. It does not seem right at all.
But it is the will of God.
2311
04:09:17,157 --> 04:09:22,328
He's lost his left arm. I've lost my right.
2312
04:09:42,683 --> 04:09:44,100
General?
2313
04:09:46,520 --> 04:09:48,438
How you feeling, sir?
2314
04:09:49,148 --> 04:09:52,817
Do not concern yourself about me.
2315
04:09:53,402 --> 04:09:56,654
But tell me, how are we faring?
2316
04:09:56,822 --> 04:10:01,034
General, the enemy's gone
across the river.
2317
04:10:01,201 --> 04:10:04,495
We secured the high ground
around Chancellorsville.
2318
04:10:04,872 --> 04:10:07,665
General Stuart did well by you, sir.
2319
04:10:09,001 --> 04:10:11,210
And the Stonewall brigade...
2320
04:10:14,006 --> 04:10:19,177
...right in the middle of it, sir.
"Remember Jackson," they shouted.
2321
04:10:19,637 --> 04:10:21,763
I heard that all day.
2322
04:10:22,973 --> 04:10:25,600
They were fighting for Stonewall.
2323
04:10:30,439 --> 04:10:36,110
Well, isn't that just like them.
They are a noble set of men.
2324
04:10:36,779 --> 04:10:41,157
That name, Stonewall, belongs
to the brigade, not to me.
2325
04:10:42,868 --> 04:10:44,661
I have the ball.
2326
04:10:47,247 --> 04:10:52,043
Dr. McGuire allowed me to keep the
musket ball he took from your hand.
2327
04:10:54,546 --> 04:10:59,884
It was a round, smooth bore.
It had to be one of ours.
2328
04:11:00,469 --> 04:11:05,181
I heard. They thought I was asleep.
2329
04:11:06,308 --> 04:11:10,895
It could not be helped.
There's no blame in war.
2330
04:11:12,564 --> 04:11:14,857
We must all forgive.
2331
04:11:38,507 --> 04:11:39,882
Watch your step.
2332
04:11:40,968 --> 04:11:42,593
Mrs. Jackson.
2333
04:11:56,108 --> 04:11:57,608
So am...?
2334
04:11:57,776 --> 04:12:01,446
Am I allowed to visit my husband
before he is buried?
2335
04:12:01,613 --> 04:12:02,739
Buried? He's...
2336
04:12:02,906 --> 04:12:05,658
Oh, my. No, no, no.
This is the body of Frank Paxton.
2337
04:12:05,826 --> 04:12:10,163
General Paxton is moving his body
back to Lexington.
2338
04:12:10,330 --> 04:12:13,750
Well, I knew Mr. Paxton.
General Paxton, he's our neighbor.
2339
04:12:13,917 --> 04:12:15,793
His wife, she cried when he left.
2340
04:12:15,961 --> 04:12:19,130
I suppose she knew
something like this would happen.
2341
04:12:20,257 --> 04:12:21,674
Thank you.
2342
04:12:23,052 --> 04:12:29,348
I had to remove your husband's
left arm, patch his right hand.
2343
04:12:29,975 --> 04:12:33,770
He's healing well, I'm very pleased.
But there is a new problem.
2344
04:12:33,937 --> 04:12:36,898
I do believe he is developing pneumonia.
2345
04:12:37,066 --> 04:12:41,069
- May I see him, doctor?
- Well, certainly, certainly. Um, he's weak.
2346
04:12:41,236 --> 04:12:44,739
I've given him some medicine
to help him sleep.
2347
04:12:44,907 --> 04:12:51,037
He's in some pain and the medication
makes him drift away. He's in and out.
2348
04:13:07,221 --> 04:13:13,142
General, I have a treat for you.
Something you may have been missing.
2349
04:13:13,477 --> 04:13:16,479
Another medicine?
2350
04:13:18,816 --> 04:13:20,942
Very well, doctor.
2351
04:13:21,443 --> 04:13:25,863
No, it's not mine, actually.
2352
04:13:26,031 --> 04:13:30,034
But it may do you some good.
2353
04:13:37,417 --> 04:13:43,047
Oh, oh, oh, so sweet. Too much sugar.
2354
04:13:43,215 --> 04:13:47,760
Always the problem with
my esposita's lemonade.
2355
04:14:09,533 --> 04:14:15,872
I'm so glad to see you looking so bright.
2356
04:14:19,960 --> 04:14:23,629
No, no. You must be cheerful.
2357
04:14:25,757 --> 04:14:27,258
Let's not have a long face.
2358
04:14:27,426 --> 04:14:32,763
You know I like cheerfulness
and brightness in a sickroom.
2359
04:14:39,354 --> 04:14:41,189
Esposita.
2360
04:14:42,232 --> 04:14:44,483
My esposita.
2361
04:14:47,821 --> 04:14:51,699
I know you would gladly
give your life for me...
2362
04:14:51,867 --> 04:14:57,580
...but I am perfectly resigned.
Do not be sad.
2363
04:14:58,874 --> 04:15:01,834
I hope I may yet recover.
2364
04:15:05,964 --> 04:15:07,798
Pray for me.
2365
04:15:09,134 --> 04:15:15,514
But in your prayers, never forget to
use the petition, "Thy will be done."
2366
04:15:29,613 --> 04:15:33,908
I'm so glad you're here.
Your lemonade is delicious.
2367
04:15:36,203 --> 04:15:38,663
- It's not too sweet.
- Too much sugar.
2368
04:15:38,830 --> 04:15:41,499
I never told you that.
2369
04:15:43,752 --> 04:15:48,297
- O, Caesar...
- Hence! Wilt thou lift up Olympus?
2370
04:15:48,465 --> 04:15:49,799
Great Caesar...
2371
04:15:50,259 --> 04:15:53,511
Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?
2372
04:15:54,137 --> 04:15:56,472
Speak, hands, for me!
2373
04:16:09,653 --> 04:16:11,862
Et tu, Brute!
2374
04:16:15,701 --> 04:16:18,494
Then fall, Caesar.
2375
04:16:20,872 --> 04:16:23,749
Liberty! Freedom!
2376
04:16:25,168 --> 04:16:26,877
Tyranny is dead!
2377
04:16:31,508 --> 04:16:33,050
- Hello, Mrs. Chamberlain.
- Hello.
2378
04:16:33,218 --> 04:16:35,219
- Thank you for staying.
- Thank you.
2379
04:16:35,387 --> 04:16:37,221
Come, you must meet the other actors.
2380
04:16:37,389 --> 04:16:43,227
Mr. Harrison, Mr. Booth, may I present
Colonel Chamberlain and his wife.
2381
04:16:44,479 --> 04:16:49,066
May I congratulate you, all of you,
on a most moving interpretation.
2382
04:16:49,401 --> 04:16:51,569
This is only a play.
2383
04:16:51,737 --> 04:16:53,362
We've heard about you, colonel...
2384
04:16:53,530 --> 04:16:57,533
...and how you stood on the bridge
of the Rappahannock like Horatius...
2385
04:16:57,701 --> 04:17:00,745
...as hundreds fled in panic round you.
2386
04:17:01,038 --> 04:17:05,916
How can our playing compare to what
you have seen, what you have done?
2387
04:17:06,585 --> 04:17:09,754
Well, remember, gentlemen,
I am not a soldier by nature.
2388
04:17:09,921 --> 04:17:12,048
I am a teacher of rhetoric...
2389
04:17:12,299 --> 04:17:15,593
...and my master, as yours,
is Shakespeare.
2390
04:17:15,927 --> 04:17:18,763
And, uh, did you enjoy the play,
Mrs. Chamberlain?
2391
04:17:18,930 --> 04:17:21,098
Oh. Very much.
2392
04:17:21,433 --> 04:17:23,684
Mr. Booth, tell me something.
2393
04:17:23,852 --> 04:17:28,606
Do you regard yourself as the hero
or the villain of Shakespeare's play?
2394
04:17:30,108 --> 04:17:31,776
Well, ha, ha...
2395
04:17:33,695 --> 04:17:37,948
Well, an actor must always regard himself
as a hero, Mrs. Chamberlain...
2396
04:17:38,116 --> 04:17:41,952
...even if that role be no more than
a simple soldier who only speaks one line.
2397
04:17:42,204 --> 04:17:47,958
Yes. It's for the audience to decide
who is a hero and who is villain.
2398
04:17:48,335 --> 04:17:50,961
We merely play the parts allotted to us.
2399
04:17:52,005 --> 04:17:54,131
How do you think of us,
Mrs. Chamberlain...
2400
04:17:54,299 --> 04:17:57,343
...Cinna and Brutus,
as heroes or villains?
2401
04:17:58,261 --> 04:17:59,762
Well...
2402
04:18:00,472 --> 04:18:03,140
...noblest Roman of them all...
2403
04:18:03,308 --> 04:18:06,769
...you cannot be villains
in Shakespeare's eyes...
2404
04:18:06,937 --> 04:18:10,064
...though Dante makes you
the worst villains in the world...
2405
04:18:10,232 --> 04:18:11,482
...after Judas Iscariot.
2406
04:18:12,275 --> 04:18:15,152
No, you are not villains to Shakespeare...
2407
04:18:15,737 --> 04:18:17,655
...but I wonder, are you heroes?
2408
04:18:19,324 --> 04:18:21,867
- Oh. I speak too much. I'm sorry.
- No, no, no.
2409
04:18:22,035 --> 04:18:25,329
My beloved husband has been given
a few days' furlough here...
2410
04:18:25,497 --> 04:18:28,374
...and everything about these days
delights me utterly.
2411
04:18:28,542 --> 04:18:32,002
Do not expect me to speak intelligently
about your play or anything else.
2412
04:18:32,921 --> 04:18:38,676
My eyes, my heart, my whole being
is dancing uncontrollably with joy...
2413
04:18:38,844 --> 04:18:41,762
...at being together
with the man that I love.
2414
04:18:42,514 --> 04:18:46,350
Thank you for enriching my stay here
with those immortal words. Thank you.
2415
04:18:47,185 --> 04:18:51,105
Come, Fanny. We must leave the players
to rest after their exertions.
2416
04:18:51,273 --> 04:18:52,523
Good evening.
2417
04:18:55,235 --> 04:18:58,112
What a Caesar, Harrison.
2418
04:18:58,738 --> 04:19:00,614
What a Caesar.
2419
04:19:01,074 --> 04:19:04,160
Too young for Caesar. Henry V.
2420
04:19:04,703 --> 04:19:06,579
Yes, Henry V.
2421
04:19:06,746 --> 04:19:10,458
With that voice shouting,
"Once more into the breach!"
2422
04:19:10,625 --> 04:19:14,462
Oh, yes. Henry V.
2423
04:19:21,887 --> 04:19:24,096
Teacher, not a soldier.
2424
04:19:24,514 --> 04:19:26,932
And a better actor than either of us.
2425
04:19:27,434 --> 04:19:30,603
But he's chosen the right role
in the right play.
2426
04:19:31,188 --> 04:19:33,731
He'll be applauded
long after we're forgotten.
2427
04:19:33,899 --> 04:19:38,402
All we can do, Harrison,
is like I said to Mrs. Chamberlain.
2428
04:19:38,570 --> 04:19:43,073
All we can do is play the roles
allotted to us.
2429
04:19:43,325 --> 04:19:47,411
Well, if a teacher of rhetoric can
become a soldier, so can an actor.
2430
04:19:51,458 --> 04:19:55,419
I've known for some time
I could not go on like this.
2431
04:19:56,338 --> 04:19:57,922
And now...
2432
04:20:00,383 --> 04:20:02,927
If the Yankee cause can sway
a man like that...
2433
04:20:03,094 --> 04:20:05,930
...then we need every man
we can muster.
2434
04:20:06,097 --> 04:20:08,599
Booth, I'm quitting the stage.
I have to go.
2435
04:20:09,309 --> 04:20:12,102
I loathe, I detest his cause.
2436
04:20:13,104 --> 04:20:15,940
But were I to be killed
by a man like that...
2437
04:20:18,360 --> 04:20:19,777
...I'd regard it an honor.
2438
04:20:21,238 --> 04:20:25,074
Yes, sir.
2439
04:20:26,368 --> 04:20:27,743
An honor.
2440
04:20:29,996 --> 04:20:33,249
You were always inclined
to melodrama, Harrison.
2441
04:20:34,459 --> 04:20:39,213
What makes you think you'll be
a better soldier than an actor?
2442
04:20:40,423 --> 04:20:42,132
Stay here.
2443
04:20:43,635 --> 04:20:45,427
Your place is here.
2444
04:20:45,762 --> 04:20:49,181
Why should we think what we do
is any less than what soldiers do?
2445
04:20:50,058 --> 04:20:51,809
We may be mere actors...
2446
04:20:52,519 --> 04:20:55,813
...but think of the words
we help to keep alive.
2447
04:21:00,151 --> 04:21:02,820
Who will remember the names of...
2448
04:21:03,405 --> 04:21:07,700
...Queen Elizabeth's generals,
and politicians?
2449
04:21:09,995 --> 04:21:11,245
Who will ever forget...
2450
04:21:12,122 --> 04:21:13,914
...the name...
2451
04:21:15,292 --> 04:21:16,875
...Shakespeare?
2452
04:21:25,594 --> 04:21:31,724
Is that my sweet darling angel?
2453
04:21:34,978 --> 04:21:37,187
My Julia.
2454
04:22:01,713 --> 04:22:04,131
Is it certain, doctor?
2455
04:22:08,053 --> 04:22:09,678
Does he know?
2456
04:22:11,973 --> 04:22:13,724
I have not told him.
2457
04:22:15,560 --> 04:22:17,061
Then I will.
2458
04:22:17,896 --> 04:22:19,730
He must know.
2459
04:22:20,857 --> 04:22:23,233
He must be prepared.
2460
04:22:23,401 --> 04:22:26,904
Guard us, guide us
2461
04:22:27,072 --> 04:22:30,866
Keep us, feed us
2462
04:22:31,034 --> 04:22:37,456
For we have no help but thee
2463
04:22:38,291 --> 04:22:45,297
Yet possessing every blessing
2464
04:22:46,341 --> 04:22:53,347
If our God our father be
2465
04:23:16,121 --> 04:23:18,163
My darling...
2466
04:23:21,292 --> 04:23:24,169
...today is Sunday.
2467
04:23:26,673 --> 04:23:32,386
Do you know that the doctor says
you must very soon be in heaven?
2468
04:23:35,348 --> 04:23:41,770
Do you not feel willing to acquiesce in
God's allotment if he wills you to go today?
2469
04:23:47,610 --> 04:23:54,658
I prefer it.
2470
04:23:57,704 --> 04:23:58,996
Well...
2471
04:24:00,957 --> 04:24:03,959
...by the time this day closes...
2472
04:24:05,211 --> 04:24:08,380
...you will be with the blessed
Savior in his glory.
2473
04:24:12,510 --> 04:24:13,761
I...
2474
04:24:15,722 --> 04:24:22,019
I will be an infinite gainer
to be translated.
2475
04:24:53,051 --> 04:24:54,676
General Lee.
2476
04:25:00,683 --> 04:25:02,726
What is the news, Reverend?
2477
04:25:02,894 --> 04:25:07,397
General Lee, I must report
that his case appears hopeless.
2478
04:25:09,859 --> 04:25:14,279
His wounds are healing,
but he's dying of pneumonia.
2479
04:25:17,325 --> 04:25:21,286
Surely General Jackson must recover.
2480
04:25:21,955 --> 04:25:26,750
God will not take him from us, not now
that we need him so very much.
2481
04:25:31,172 --> 04:25:33,423
Will you see him, sir?
2482
04:25:35,301 --> 04:25:37,928
No, sir, I won't. No, sir.
2483
04:25:47,146 --> 04:25:50,357
When you return,
I trust you'll find him better.
2484
04:25:52,944 --> 04:25:59,074
And when the occasion offers, tell him
that I prayed for him last night...
2485
04:26:01,828 --> 04:26:07,082
...as I never prayed,
I believe, for myself.
2486
04:26:08,126 --> 04:26:14,798
Please tell him.
2487
04:26:16,175 --> 04:26:17,634
Sir.
2488
04:26:39,032 --> 04:26:41,033
Push up that column.
2489
04:26:41,659 --> 04:26:43,619
Move up that column.
2490
04:26:48,041 --> 04:26:51,460
Pendleton, take charge of that line.
Where's Smith?
2491
04:26:55,340 --> 04:26:59,009
Tell him. Push up that column.
2492
04:27:00,511 --> 04:27:05,807
Move the batteries to the center
of the crest. There's no time to waste.
2493
04:27:06,851 --> 04:27:11,104
General Stuart, no quarter to the
violators of our homes and hearths.
2494
04:27:15,193 --> 04:27:20,989
General Lee, we must take
the war to the enemy.
2495
04:27:30,875 --> 04:27:33,418
You are the 1st Brigade.
2496
04:27:36,047 --> 04:27:38,548
Advance, my brave boys.
2497
04:27:41,177 --> 04:27:45,389
Press on.
2498
04:28:08,705 --> 04:28:11,790
Let us cross over the river...
2499
04:28:14,335 --> 04:28:17,838
...and rest under the shade of the trees.
