Officers and men of the First Brigade, I am not here to make a speech but simply to say farewell. I first met you at Harper’s Ferry in the commencement of the war, and I cannot take leave of you without giving expression to my admiration of your conduct from that day to this, whether on the march, in the bivouac, the tented field, or on the bloody plains of Manassas, where you gained the well-deserved reputation of having decided the fate of the battle.....Throughout the broad extent of country over which you have marched, by your respect for the rights and property of citizens, you have shown that you were soldiers not only to defend, but able and willing both to defend and protect. You have already gained a brilliant and deservedly high reputation, throughout the army and the whole Confederacy, and I trust in the future by your own deeds on the field, and by the assistance of the same Kind Providence who has heretofore favored our cause that you will gain more victories, and add additional lustre to the reputation you now enjoy. You have already gained a proud position in the history of this our second War of Independence. I shall look with great anxiety to your future movements, and I turst whenever I shall hear of the First Brigade on the field of battle it will be of still nobler deeds achieved and higher reputation won. In the army of the Shenandoah, you were the First Brigade; in the army of the Potomac, you were the First Brigade; in the second corps of this army, you are the First Brigade; you are the First Brigade in the affections of your General; and I hope by your future deeds and bearing you will be handed down to posterity as the First Brigade in our second War of Independence. Farewell!”

This film maligned because it's shameless pro-Confederate Lost Cause propaganda, with a laughably bad screenplay. Stephen Lang and Jeff Daniels, both good actors, had to make the best of the shitshow that was this script. Despite the terrible screenplay, the corny PG-rated battle scenes and the disturbing pro-Confederate narrative, this movie absolutely nailed the costumes and sets. Visually, it did bring you back to the 1860's. For that alone, it has some merit as a period film.

Fun fact: during the filming of both “Gettysburg” and “Gods and Generals”, actor Stephen Lang went down to the reenactors’ camp and hung out with them, taking pics with many of the fellas. He is a very humble and talented man, an all around class act. Not many like him out there. Not many actors can accomplish what Mr. Stephen Lang has. So gifted is he in his craft that he managed to portray not one but two iconic Southern American generals with remarkable flair. Not to mention he also managed to pull off a fantastic performance as western outlaw Ike Clanton of the infamous Cowboy gang in “Tombstone”, another legendary period piece. I remember seeing “Tombstone” with my dad as a kid and then not long after stumbling upon an old photograph of the real Ike Clanton; I was left stunned. Lang looked exactly like the real man. He is a great honour to all of the men he has portrayed, most especially Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.

As he lay dying, he knew his life’s end was near and said his last words, “Let us cross the river, and rest in the shade under the trees.” Within moments, his eyes closed and he passed. Of Gen Jackson’s wounding and subsequent death, Gen Lee said, I have lost my right arm.”

What many don't know is that Jackson was actually rather unpopular amongst his men. While the people of the South definitely saw him and Lee as their saviors, his subordinates rather disliked him. Although they certainly respected him, generals like Ewell and most notably AP Hill did not exactly like Jackson. Both Hill and Jackson somewhat despised each other. Jackson was rather hard to get along with, the only generals that seemed to maintain a positive friendship with him were Lee and Longstreet. JEB Stuart was the only one known to make Jackson laugh. Although he would certainly be missed by the Army of Northern Virginia, many of the men that served directly under him like Hill certainly didn't miss him. He never really tried to make friends in the Confederate army, and was very well known for his very stern and straightforward attitude, things had to be done exactly the way Jackson told you otherwise it would cost you dearly.

Well, then I hope you can tell black people to their face that you're okay with slavery. Cause that's what you're saying when you get down to it. BTW Jackson himself said that's what the war was about.

Lol. ..I've been studying the life of Tom Jackson my whole life. Raised by his uncle after his parents died, until his uncle "lit" out for the California gold fields. Before Jackson became a cop, before he went to West Point there were rumours that he was a rough and tumble kid in those backwoods of West Virginia he grew up in. Can you imagine how bad-ass he must have been to be a constable at age 17? I've read dozens of books about him. He may have had a Sunday school class for blacks back at VMI, he may have been a unionist right up to the Civil War, but he was never spoke out against slavery. Apparently he owned half a dozen slaves himself. Moral? What about that "black flag" speech he gave to JEB Stuart in "Gods and Generals?" Which he did, only it was in a letter to his buddy Alexander Botelier. Of course he said that the Civil War was about slavery. I read it.He wasn't that stupid. It was in one of those 1000 page books I read about his life. He was a taciturn man, he wasn't blabbing to the press. But he did write letters.Not that I care what you people think, but I will say this: I DON'T LIE..Look, despite his all consuming religiousity, Stonewall Jackson was a man of violence, he loved it. Old Blue Light was never more alive than when he was fighting. And I'm not judging but as much as I admire Jackson, Audie Murphy and other super soldiers we're not admiring them for their morality but for their killing attributes. I wonder what Thomas Jackson woulda thought if Jesus and his boys fought it out with the soldiers in the garden of Gethsemene?

@Kian - when force is used to keep a people in a union that they'd voluntarily entered long ago, it easily could be called tyranny. The tyranny was leveled at the southern states who weren't allowed out. There's no law requiring them to stay in. The people of the states, via state legislatures, signed off by governors, wanted out. They reps in D.C. were told no. That led to fighting where might made right.

A lot of people outside the south forget that the young Confederate soldiers were drafted (conscripted). Regardless of their position in life when the war began, their state said serve or else, the "or else" could be ghastly. I'm just saying...
