Human life, in my opinion, must be rooted well in some places of origin,...
... a place where you can get family love on earth,...
... for workers going back and forth, for sounds and accents that imagine it,...
... for anything it will give a return earlier than usual...
... the difference is clear in the middle of the future of widening knowledge.
The best introduction to astronomy is thinking of the night sky...
... like a small star belongs to one house.
- George Eliot -
Wio wood Kendari, September 15, 2015.
Welcome, Colonel Lee. Welcome to my house.
Make yourself comfortable, colonel.
Allow me to get to the point, sir.
I have been authorized by President Lincoln himself...
With full blessing from the Ministry of War...
... offers you full command of the Army with the rank of major general.
This army was formed to quell rebellion and guard the Union.
I assume this army will be used to attack these areas...
... to abolish the rebellion with violence.
Yes, sir, the Federal Government has been opposed by the rebels...
... the most effective thing in changing state legislative sentiments...
... oppose our Constitution and oppose our central government.
The attack on Fort Sumter cannot be ignored.
General, my house is opposite the Potomac.
That's why, you can see Arlington House from the front door of your house.
My family is spread in all parts of Virginia.
If you attack the South, your enemy territory will be right across the river.
Sir, there is no excitement to break away in Virginia.
This is not a certainty that Virginia or Tennessee or Arkansas...
... or Kentucky will join in a rebellion.
Friend, I humbly convey you were wrong about Virginia.
As you know, the legislature is held in Richmond today...
... to discuss the heat issue of secession.
Now, maybe you know their thoughts are better than themselves.
And I'm sorry to say the president rushed to call up to 75,000 volunteers. . .
... to overcome the rebellion in cotton countries...
... without trying to improve the crisis. It only worsens.
I believe you yourself is not in a hurry, colonel.
This is a great opportunity for you to serve your country.
My country, Mr. Blair?
I never expected to see the day the president of the United States...
... enlarge the army to attack his own country.
No, sir Blair, I can't lead it. I will not lead it. No
I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
I'm afraid you made the most terrible mistake.
Please convey deep respect and my gratitude to the president...
... but I have to reject the offer.
Please tell him.
Please clarify. I never considered my duty lightly...
... but there is no bigger task than my house, for Virginia.
Thank you, sir.
Gentlemen, if you want to succeed at this institution...
... you have one common goal: To learn lessons.
If you place energy somewhere else...
... you won't succeed well with me or in your career as a military officer.
I hope you will see that with a proper understanding of the artillery principle...
... I have put it on you today, you will learn to implement...
... these principles with effectiveness great in experience in your field.
But because you seem unable to understand these principles...
... I have to conclude, I have to repeat this lesson tomorrow, word for word.
Word for word.
Separation! Separation! Separation!
raise it! Raise it!
Major, listen to them. Our future intellectuals...
... shouting to destroy our nation!
Sir, President Lincoln increased the troops.
I...
I will not live in a place where my students defame their country's flag.
Major, I leave Pennsylvania tomorrow.
War is the conclusion of all evil.
But if I know myself, all about me and everything I have...
... is in the service of my house, my country.
Your country, Thomas?
Your country, my country. All of them are one.
All one, Thomas. All one.
So in the midst of soul searching and gnashing teeth...
... this convention delegation...
... disturbed by the actions of the state usurper of power and its radical party...
... has stumbled into secession.
Now God knows, me and some in this room reject that.
But how can there be a union with a part of the country...
... want to force your will through coercion?
Now Virginia is dealing with United States armed forces...
... we Virginia people have determined that none of our holy land...
... will be polluted by the attacker's feet.
God bless Virginia!
In remembering the great Virgina, George Washington...
... someone who is first in the heart in the same country and his calling...
... in the memory of his own father, General Light-Horse Harry Lee...
... now, this Convention calls for Robert Edward Lee to take command...
... the armed forces of the Citizens of Virginia.
Mr. President, gentlemen convention...
... I was very impressed with the solemnity of the event...
... which one should I say I'm not ready.
I accept this assignment position by your partisanship.
I would much prefer that your choice falls on an abler man.
But trust in God, recognition of conscience...
... and help from fellow citizens...
... I dedicate myself to the service of my native country...
... in any interest I will pull out my sword again.
We must not be afraid of the outcome of this war, but many loved ones will fall...
... and a lot of heart rate with suffering...
... before we can breathe air of freedom...
... and feel the sweet assurance safety and peace once again.
I have nothing more to love in this life than my children...
... except maybe your father's beautiful memory.
When you go to Richmond, and wherever this war takes you...
... you don't worry about us. We will be with you wherever you go.
Surely goodness and kindness have followed me along my life.
Now together in your way, and God with you.
You all will come back, you hear?
We will be back, Martha.
Mr. Wilkes.
Would you like to sign my playbill?
I have never been interested in Shakespeare...
- Mm-hm. -... until I see you playing Richard III.
"A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
Has this humorous woman been seduced?
Has this humorous woman ever won?
Have I seen you?
Of course you've seen it.
This is Mr. Wilkes Booth, the best actor in all of Richmond.
The whole world is a stage...
... but we are bad players.
What better role is a soldier who defends his home...
... his honor...
... and the person he loves?
Good morning, major. This just arrived for you.
Cadet Norris, go back to the Institute. My greetings to Colonel Smith.
I will be in his office in half an hour.
sir.
"You are instructed to report to the cadets' cadre for camp instructions...
... to start training and Organize a Temporary Army...
... to defend the Virginia Commonwealth."
Esposita-ku.
Come on, before I leave, we have to sit...
... read together, holy book.
This.
Yes, here. Corinthians... Second Corinthians, chapter five.
I've thought about this verse.
"Because we know that if our earthly house is destroyed... ... we have the house of God. A house is not made by hand, is eternal in heaven."
O, God Almighty...
... give it if that is your will...
... You avoid the danger of threatening and giving us peace.
Keep the one I love in your protection.
And bring us all in the end in the joy of Your eternal kingdom.
Give them hell, sir!
Yes, give them hell!
"God is my light. My safety. Who will I fear?
God is a strength in my life. Who should I fear?
When bad people, even my enemies and my enemies...
... coming to eat my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
Even though I have to stay against me, my heart won't be afraid.
Although war must rise against me.
I will be entertained. "
Separation can be forgiven.
South and North can still work together.
Slavery will eventually die naturally.
But the breakup of the Union will open a war... ... of a hundred generations in America...
... just repeating the history of European blood.
If Virginia obeys the United States, I comply.
His determination must control me. This is my understanding of patriotism.
And even though I love Uni, I love Virginia more.
Soldier Jenkins, because of the high my respect for your father...
... you are free to choose. You might go back to his new home in Pennsylvania.
It's your decision. But, if you decide to stay with us...
... maybe you will never go away again. If you do it, you are considered a defector.
Colonel Jackson, sir. Daddy.
I'm a soldier in Virginia 4.
And at Virginia 4 I'll stay.
And if necessary, I die.
- Then I will leave. - No sir.
I will leave you two for the rest of your time together.
You might need this room as long as you need it.
Thank you.
Alright, colonel.
Hope we meet again in a happy time.
If it's not in this troubled world maybe we meet in...
In heaven.
This train is on a trip to Washington.
That is the livestock requested by the Confederate government.
There is enough beef here for our food for some time.
And as many horses will meet our current needs.
With your permission, we have chosen the more promising horses.
There are some good ones here.
Mr. Harman, I'm afraid you're a bad person.
- This animal looks suitable for the task. - Then it's yours, sir.
That's the little horse there, has he ever been assigned?
That's good reddish, sir, but too small for you.
Will make your feet dragged in the dust.
I think of my wife, Anna.
That would be a great gift for him.
Certainly so, sir. Should I arrange the purchase?
Leave the sales bill at my base.
I'll buy them both.
Dear Confederate Allies.
And maybe you two sit well in the saddle.
Should I be calling on you?
- Good morning, sir. - Rev. Pendleton.
- What is the artillery situation today? - You just arrived for baptism.
People have decided to name the howitzers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
I'm sure your people will spread the gospel wherever they face the enemy.
Is my child proven to be a worthy aide?
I'm sure Captain Pendleton will prove that he deserves a family name.
Hold! Standby! Attack!
If you can get close enough stab people with this.
You can give me your bayonet if you don't use it.
What will you do with both of them?
Ever heard of backup?
Pogue, your only hope Yankees get you out of suffering.
Captain White.
What is the development of students from the University of Washington?
Did they make a transition from books to bullets?
A few days of practice, and my men will surpass the cadets of VML.
Exercise, Professor White, practice and practice. Remember Alexander in Anatolia.
Caesar in Gaul. Napoleon in Iberia.
We marched in the afternoon, and read Xenophon at night.
- We will be your Greek phalanx. - Then you have to start with bayonets.
Bayonet must be for Virginia people like sarissa for Macedonia.
If Yankees set foot in Virginia, we have to show them the bayonets.
Practice with bayonets and we will protect our freedom.
Yes, sir.
sir.
Harman has a detachment that is ready to take your horse for Mrs. Jackson on Lexington.
Your chosen horse waits at the head office.
I have decided to save this little horse for me.
I prefer the gait rather than the bigger horse.
Unlike others, he even has a character.
He will need where we go. Yes, I will save it.
And Mrs. Jackson? What should we send to him, sir?
Instruct Harman make another choice.
My admiration for the choice of animals, if not in the choice of words.
The man's vocabulary is very disgusting.
Yes, sir.
- Is that all, sir? - The language is blasphemous...
... but he's a good quartermaster, is a good quartermaster. Understand?
- Yes, sir. - That is all.
Hyah!
Blue, gray, green, even red uniforms.
How do we know who the enemy is?
You're stupid, you just shot on the person who shot you!
I think we will be trained.
I can walk and carry this in Staunton.
I've never seen you walk in your life when you don't have to. Neither do I.
What is the awareness of men that will cross the path...
... when he can just sit on the front porch of his house?
I walked a lot this week than in my life and my father's life was put together.
Who will give new shoes when this one breaks with the old strap?
Can you excuse me, gentlemen.
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart reports for duty.
Colonel Stuart.
- That's the perfect hat, sir. - Thank you sir.
- Colonel Stuart. Do you smoke tobacco? - No sir. Not in any form.
Neither do I. I really don't like it.
Sit down.
I understand from your notes that you are from West Point, class 54.
Served since at the cavalry, Ft. Clark, Texas.
Operation against Apache, Comanche.
Fighting with Longstreet and Ewell, sir.
Bad assignments. Merciless climate.
It's nice to be home, sir.
The Apache defends their home, like we will defend ours.
If we fight as well as Apache, I pity the Yankee invaders.
Colonel Stuart, if in my way, we should not be merciful to the enemy.
Not just the skin show, your policy. Black flag, sir.
If the victory is North, it is not the destruction of our own property.
This is the beginning of anarchy, infidelity...
... loss of freedom and the government is responsible.
This is a trade victory. Banks, factories.
We have to meet the attacker at just the defense limit...
... and raise a black flag. Not forgiveness to the offenders of our homes and fireplaces.
Our political leaders are too afraid to face the reality of the war that is coming.
They must look in the Bible _ which is full of war.
Only the black flag brings north to the mind and quickly ends the war.
Alright, colonel.
One way or another, South will give them a warm welcome.
You will be responsible for the cavalry in the Harper's Ferry district.
Your experience and your enthusiasm will be very valuable.
Thank you, sir.
And, colonel...
... do you know that I will tell my people to always race towards the enemy...
... but galloping away.
"Galloping."
Validation of votes to separate yourself already entered.
Reporting from all Virginia regions, votes are 4-for-1 supports.
And I'm proud to report that sounds in the Shenandoah valley...
... Is 31 30 supports, 1 0 is against!
In Rockbridge County alone, only one person voted against leaving the Union.
Maybe a stupid village person!
Attention!
- Line, take a break! - Line.
Valley man.
City soldiers.
I'm here at the behest of General Robert E. Lee, commander of all the forces of Virginia.
On April 15 this year Our leader, 1861...
... Simon Cameron, war secretary United States...
... send a telegram to our Governor to increase three infantry regiments...
... to be sent to help suppress the South Confederation.
Governor Letcher's answer is good to know, but maybe not in his words.
The message to Washington states:
"You have chosen to open a civil war.
After doing so, we will meet you in a valiant spirit...
... as the Lincoln government is shown to the South. "
Two days later the Virginia legislature voted for secession.
Just as we will not send our soldiers marching in other countries... . ... and wrongdoing other people...
... so we never let other soldiers march to our country...
... and abuse our people.
= = Like many of you, most of you, I am always a Union. This is not joyful or joyful _ many who accept secession. Should our neighbors to the north show a form of persuasive warfare...
... Today may not come. But that day has been entrusted to us...
... like that was entrusted to our ancestors.
The Lincoln government requires us to enlarge three regiments.
Tell them we've done it.
Soldier! Commander General Johnston ordered:
"General Beauregard is under attack in Manassas Junction...
... by a large army."
We are ordered to cross Blue Ridge to help him.
Every time is valuable...
... and the general hopes his soldiers step out and close the ranks.
This line is an emergency line to save our country.
You have to rest, sir.
I will rest quietly if Pendleton and artillery pass this mountain.
They will be better tomorrow, sir. This will decrease.
Do you trust me to wait for the weapon, sir?
Dr. McGuire.
You are a very good practitioner, and I believe you took your recipe.
There's no fire, there's no tent. Like I dreamed it was there.
Do you think the Virginia legislators will buy you a private tent?
This is fine for now.
You will hum a different song when rain, you all are wrapped in ice...
... or you need me to dig you from the snow mound.
The dark bat flies with each other.
Old Hickory just puts us to fight.
Old Hickory, Old Jack, Old Blue Light.
How many names do you have for the old man?
VMI children agree with one choice.
They call it "Stupid Tom" when he is seen from the other side.
I would be stupid to hear you all night.
Tom is old stupid. The name must stick to it like a bug on a mule.
I see! Step excited! Two at a time!
As fast as you can. Don't let your guard down, don't laze around.
One foot forward, then the other. Not beautiful, not as you like.
Enter the train. Do it beautifully, do it bad, all the same to me.
- Colonel Jackson. - Colonel Trimble.
- I understand you're a train person. - Baltimore and Ohio.
Spending most of my life, and the last six months tearing them up.
Not used to leave them who are in good condition with a Yankee mixture.
May I excuse me, sir.
I have to move these people to do damage to the enemy...
Excuse me, girls.
That's the best men's clothing throughout the Army Confederation.
Come in! Ride and fill!
Through battle and in clover.
Fill inside. Move.
That's General Bee's army!
Inform General Bee that the first Virginia arrived in the field.
Ask, can he survive for me let me spread my subordinates?
Yes, sir! I will ask!
They might not stand it, gentlemen. We must assume they cannot.
- Mr. Smith. - Sir?
Instruct Imboden and Stanard to position their row in the middle of the peak.
I want regiments 4 and 27 to be placed as support.
I want Regiment 5 to be placed on their right...
... 2 and 33 to the left. Understand?
- Yes, sir. - Mm-hm.
Reply to rows of attacks!
Eight hundred yards!
- Cannon! Five-second axis! - Attack!
Reply to rows of attacks. Eight hundred yards.
Cannon, five inches. Five-second axis.
- Shoot one! - Two!
- Three! - Five, shoot!
Do your best!
Shoot!
General! Our line at Matthew Hill has been broken. They beat us back.
So we have to give them bayonets!
First troops, move to position below the hilltop. And stay low!
- sir. - Hyah!
Gathering! Get together!
Look!
There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall.
Let's decide to die here today and we will win.
Gathering behind Virginia forces!
Arrange bayonets.
- Arrange bayonets! - Arrange!
Shoot!
Contents...
Instruct people to lie down! Follow the ground!
- Lie down! - First line, lie down!
Second line, kneel!
They come, children.
Wait until they're close before you shoot.
Hold your line!
Stop!
Hold your shot!
Get ready!
Aim!
Shoot!
Shoot! Refillable!
- Wake up! - Hurry up, kids!
Wake up!
Quick, man! Hurry up Get ready!
Aim!
Shoot!
Refill! Refillable!
Come on, kids! Fast and we can beat them!
- Calm down. We are not ordered to go forward! - Return to the line!
Stay! Stay!
Damn it.
Attack!
It's Cumming's men.
- What did they do? - Calm down, Mr. Pendleton. Quiet.
It's good to get your anger out, but discipline wins today.
Turn around! Turn around! Aim! Shoot!
For God's sake, move on!
General, victory will be against us.
If you think so, you should not say anything about it.
Get up, get up!
Get up, Virginia!
Stand up! You people are free! We will attack them.
We will drive them to Washington! Stand up, Virginia!
First Brigade...
... save your shot...
... until they are within 50 yards...
... then shoot!
And give them bayonets!
And when you attack...
... shout with anger!
- Ready! Aim! - Aim!
- Shoot! - Shoot!
Bayonet attacks!
Attack!
Urge! Urge!
I give up! I give up!
General?
How can you be so calm...
... and don't feel anything...
... with the onslaught of cannons and rain of bullets around your head?
Captain Smith...
... religious beliefs teach me that I feel safe in battle like in bed.
God has set my death, I don't care about that...
... but I'm always ready, whenever it approaches me.
That's how everyone must live.
Then all will be equally brave.
Initial troops report, sir. One hundred and eleven dead.
Three hundred seventy three injured or missing.
And if I may ask, sir, what is your hand?
Only stray bullets. Nothing more than a scratch, Mr. Pendleton.
I am more pleased with the performance of the troops during the action.
Because of God's blessing...
... they meet a much stronger enemy and reverse victory.
Good night, gentlemen.
Tomorrow is a new day.
- Good night, general. - Good night sir.
Oh, Mr. Pendleton?
Thank you for the report.
I will never forget these people.
What's tonight, John? Hamlet? Richard III? Or Scottish game?
The schedule has been set.
I'm relieved to see you has prepared your role.
I admit, my concentration has been disturbed by this war.
Then think of "our winter of dissatisfaction."
And what summer excitement will be...
... when the South is free from Yankee interference.
Sometimes when I'm on the stage...
... sword swords or threat with taunts...
... I want to know if it's more fun than tragedy.
Excessive attitude from art.
Harrison.
As we read and recite, other mars and deaths.
Under Mississippi...
... when other children hunt or fish, I read books...
... learn Shakespeare's sonnets with the heart.
My father says art is the most difficult thing.
Everything else seems to be more important at that time...
... but we need it more than air.
More than food, even.
So now politics is not hunting.
The same old thing.
You must keep concentrating on the real problem.
Shakespeare's problem.
Acting problems.
Gentlemen, new orders from the War Department.
The Confederate Army has been reorganized into three districts.
Potomac will remain under General Beauregard.
Aquia under General Holmes.
I've been promoted to major general. . .
... command all forces in and around the Shenandoah Valley.
All joint forces now will be known as the Northern Virginia Army.
Even though I was transferred to Winchester...
... the brigade must stay here in Centerville.
Sorry, sir...
... but people prefer under your command.
That's right, sir.
Can all troops be sent with you to the Valley?
Gentlemen, like the level of public respect, trust...
... placed in one power to serve his country must be accepted and respected.
But other than that...
... promotion between humans is only temptation and problems.
This doesn't come to me as a command, I should immediately reject it...
... continues with the order my old army of rebels.
Sir, maybe we hope...
... that official request to the authorities in Richmond...
... can it affect the transfer of from all troops to the valley?
Listen, listen.
I will not stop you from making that request.
But for now, we must prepare ourselves.
We will all have work to do...
... but with God's help...
... I believe He will allow us to finish it.
Attention!
Rest!
Along the length of the country...
... where you have been through...
... with your respect for and other people's rights...
... you always show that you are soldiers, not just to defend...
... but capable and willing to defend and protect.
You have won...
... the brilliant reputation of all Soldiers throughout the Confederation.
And I believe in the future by your actions in the field...
... and with help from God that supports our goals...
... you will win a lot of wins and add to the sparkle of reputation.
You already have a position of pride...
... in future history...
... the second war of our independence.
I will see with anxiety your future movements...
... and I believe every time I hear the first Brigade...
... on the battlefield...
... it will be a success and a high reputation for victory.
In the Shenandoah Army, you are the first Brigade.
In the Potomac Army, you are the first Brigade.
In this Second Corps of the Army, you are the first Brigade.
you are the first Brigade in your generals love.
And I hope that with your actions and firmness will be passed on to posterity...
... as the first Brigade...
... in this case, the second independence war.
Goodbye!
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! Jackson!
Jackson! Jackson! Jackson!
The universe itself is subject to rules, to the law.
Super abundant life poured in our world...
... is proof...
... that playing unlimited freedom...
... here to help resolve limited legal will.
The nature of the universe shows...
... freedom can only exist...
... as part of the law.
Sorry, Professor Chamberlain...
... but how does philosophy study intersect with real life?
If there can only be freedom as part of the law...
... how can we continue to tolerate slavery that is protected by law?
Lawrence, I know.
How is it?
I notice the way you see into the children's room every night.
Blue.
Why is the uniform blue? It should be red.
- Like English, blood color. - Are you mad at me?
Lawrence, my dear.
Do you remember when you thought to become a missionary?
You wrote me and said that you wished your little wife...
... willing for you, taking whatever you think is best...
... and ready to help you with all your heart?
"Little wife." How can I ever call you that?
Your spirit is wider than the ocean.
Then you write back.
And I never forgot what you said.
You said, "Well, honey, he's willing...
... and he feels you know better about the problem than he does."
But now...
... I never thought I know better than you.
I can't bear for you to feel that you must always stick to the establishment...
... only because you are married.
I always want to help you in and outside your struggle.
But I've dreamed about you, Lawrence. Last night.
Even though you left, offered you to the governor.
I saw you in my dream. There is a boy dressed in the past blue marching.
Some boys we know.
And there you are...
... riding a big white horse in front of them.
Fanny, my love, I feel I have to go.
I offer my body governor, wherever he wants to place me.
I thought, he might order me for an officer.
- Speech, administration. - Oh.
Lawrence...
... I know you. When doing something, you do it without awareness.
- So? He gave you a position? - They need a service officer.
Five new regiments are being formed now.
Maine has sent 15. How can I refuse?
Lawrence poor, you damn, you will be good with that too.
You will be good at soldier like you're good at everything. So leave.
Go do your duty for your country's flag...
... go and get the courage medal, go and get yourself killed.
That's Lovelace's poem.
It's beautiful, horrible, damned, beautiful , sad poetry.
I think you read it in my dream.
Lovelace. "Off to the English Civil War"?
I don't dare to quote that now.
Say no, sweet, I'm not cruel It's from your holy breast monastery and calm mind
For warlike hands I fly.
Right, my new mistress is now serving
The first enemy in the field
And with a strong hug of faith sword, horse, shield.
But it's not like this
Like you too adore.
I can't love you too much, honey Loving me no longer respects.
You will get hurt.
You will be changed by that horror.
But you will go home.
I believe that, my love. You will go home.
Enter.
You must be Mr. Lewis.
There are some who call me Uncle Jim.
Some call me Big Jim. Some people just call me Jim.
I think you've heard one of my nicknames?
I heard Stonewall once.
The name really belongs to the 1st Virginia Brigade, not for me.
- They are the people who got it. - Some say otherwise.
People say humans can't fight without someone in front to lead them.
- I was told you were the first level cook. - Yes, Sir.
They are not lying. Whatever you like to eat, I can cook it.
Saucepan, frying pan, decoction, grill. Roasts.
And I know you from Lexington. You are recommended for me, Jim.
Lexington is my home, general. Just like your home.
If I can do my job in defending my house...
... I will do the same as you.
I heard Napoleon himself said:
"The army cannot march but on its stomach."
Well...
If you love your country...
... fear of God...
... and without difficulty getting up at 4:00 in the morning, this job is yours.
I agree, general.
sir.
Esposita my dear.
Welcome to Winchester.
Thomas.
- Come from cold. - Thank you.
- I've been thinking, Thomas... - Um.
... may already be a blessing...
... that the Battle of Manassas goes against my birthday.
Why is that?
In our old age, you never forget it.
I will forget my own birthday before I forget your birthday.
Oh, Anna.
Anna.
What's the matter, Tom?
What?
Everything in this life looks so fragile.
So temporary.
When we're separated, I'm afraid...
... I will never see you again.
I'm afraid we might never have children.
I'm afraid I might lose you if we dare to have children.
I know I have to believe in God...
... but then I saw my beloved mother's face...
... my first wife, dead and cold.
And our favorite child died.
Die before he can catch his first breath in this world.
And I'm scared.
I'm afraid to feel happiness.
Afraid of hoping for that again.
I'm afraid of God's judgment.
We serve God, Thomas.
We hold each other's hands.
We are together, and we are happy together.
And our love is not the proof?
We don't have to be afraid, Thomas.
We will survive this war.
And we will have children.
So help us, Lord.
- Major Gilmore, stop the damn drum! - Shut up!
- Stop the drum! - Shut up!
This is a regimental hell.
Men from Maine 20 Volunteer regiment...
... this is your commander, Colonel Adelbert Ames.
Calm down! Quiet!
You don't entertain an officer.
You respect him.
Maine 20, I praise you for enthusiasm...
... which has made you volunteers to serve in the Lincoln Army.
I can see many of you strong and healthy.
We Maine know that lives in the forests of Maine...
... strengthens the muscles and stretches the tendons.
I have no doubt many of you are good shooters with deer hunting.
But strong muscles and shooting skills is not enough to make a soldier.
That requires discipline.
Major Gilmore says you are accustomed to discussing with your officers.
It will stop now.
The order of an officer must be obeyed and without question.
This regiment must learn to move as one person.
If not, we will all be killed.
- Look, can you teach them to line up. - Yes, Sir.
Colonel Chamberlain.
Come with me.
When I say, "Maine 20, attention"...
... bring your feet together.
Governor of Washburn and Adjutant General Hodgson. . .
... already sent me an impressive report about you.
They say you will master every assignment given.
I'll definitely try, sir.
I understand you are in the Bull Run Battle.
Wounded too. This teaches me that I need proper discipline and procedures.
Shoot, for example.
When you hunt in the Maine forest there is no difficulty in filling the rifle.
But in the panic of war, people act stupid.
In the Bull Run battle I saw a soldier forget to remove the ram from the barrel.
When he shoots, comes out gloomy twang.
He failed to shoot and was immediately killed by rebel bullets.
Sergeant Tom Chamberlain reports for duty, sir.
Tom, what are you doing?
I registered, Lawrence, I'm in this regiment. I came with you.
Do you agree? How will he run the farm?
After hearing that you're a colonel, he can't say no.
Besides that, you know him, he'll be fine. They both.
I gave them an excuse to swear.
Mother sent many prayers for us, we don't need to worry.
I feel, I have one more responsibility. I have to take care of you.
me?
Lawrence, mom told me to take care of you.
Please remember, young people, canned cups can even be very heavy after 20 miles.
Your precarious stake won't last if you turn yourself into a donkey.
And only one leg to pants, if you can.
You will use it soon...
... where your formal clothes will be collared shirts and boots.
In the US Army we have School warriors...
... where soldiers are trained with training schedules.
Filling the shotgun is done in nine movements...
... done repeatedly until they become automatic...
... or, we call it, fills in nine times.
Aah! I understand. Sergeant Chamberlain.
Fill in nine times. Show.
Suppose the gun was fired.
One, hold the bullet box and pull the bullet.
Two, place the bullet between the teeth.
Three, tear the paper.
Four, pour the powder into the barrel and fill the bullet.
Five, pull the ram. Six, knock the ball house.
Seven, return the ram.
Eight, half-cocked hammer...
... release the old cover...
... and put a new lid on the cone.
Nine, pelvic weapons.
Okay, you've thought about it.
But this must be done without thinking and much faster.
Next.
One, two, three, four...
... five...
... six...
... seven...
... eight...
... nine.
Practice until you can quickly.
It might save your life. Colonel.
Battle lines consist of two lines, one behind the other...
... so when one line shoots, the other one fills up.
Behind them is the closing row. Lieutenant and sergeant.
But the two lines make the regiment difficult to move...
... so we need to switch to the crawl column.
We must be able to change from the column to the battle row...
... and come back quickly.
It's not difficult to move from the battle line to the crawl column.
The difficult one moves from the column to the battle row...
... and if you make that step, is definitely when you are in an attack.
Remember how important this movement was thoroughly studied...
... that they can do that in their sleep.
Line.
... stop!
Line up, forward!
Lower the weapon!
Good, colonel. That's the beginning.
But that step must be practiced by practicing and practicing.
A few months and we will be ready.
But we're leaving for Washington tomorrow.
Take up arms!
Line, move forward!
Gentlemen, only September. Too fast for winter camps.
We have momentum.
I suggest we advance forces north to Maryland...
... because there are abundant farms and almost untouched.
And with the autumn harvest, we can feed the troops very well.
And there is one other consideration.
Maryland was forcibly occupied by the Union.
Our arrival can be seen as liberation.
We might get a friendly welcome.
It might even get a number of volunteers to serve in the Army.
General, is this not considered an invasion?
I don't believe that, general.
With the Virginia Government attack...
Confederates are proven aggressors here.
We don't carry this war...
... and we fight only to liberate the South from Federal occupation.
Like I said many times. . .
... if Washington will end the battle and withdraw their troops...
... this war will end.
But in the meantime...
... we have to show the enemy that they cannot win.
Can't win.
Now, with the move to Maryland, we are in a position to press into Pennsylvania.
And so far, gentlemen, bloody terrain is the southern field.
If we threaten a city in the north...
... if we threaten to bring blood to the North. . .
... will put pressure on Lincoln to end this war.
Amen.
Our presence, only threats, is enough.
General Lee...
... we will cut ourselves from our basic supplies, communication.
We will be easily attacked from behind, sir.
General Longstreet, are you marching to Mexico with General Scott?
Yes, sir.
Didn't General Scott cut himself off from supplies and communication?
And so, did he not end the war fast?
And did he not achieve all of that in a foreign country?
This is not a foreign country.
Residents will see we're not destroyers like Yankee did to us.
We have come to end the war quickly...
... and without the need to conquer or subdue anyone.
We prove our superiority on the battlefield.
That advantage may be everything we need, gentlemen.
Everything we need.
- General Lee? - Yes.
It's nice to hear we finally war with the enemy.
Let them feel the specter the war they started.
Yes, sir.
♫ His torch is at the thy temple door
♫ Maryland, my Maryland
♫ Avenge the patriotic gore
♫ That flecked the streets of Baltimore
♫ And the battle queen of yore
♫ Maryland, my Maryland
Good morning, sir. Colonel Ames sent me.
- He said, you might need this. - Thank you...
Kilrain, sir. Sergeant Kilrain. Glad to serve.
You know, colonel...
... children...
We have noticed you, sir.
You learn quickly. A pleasure to serve under you.
Yes....
Are you a veteran, sergeant?
Right, sir. You can say that.
Have I served in regular AD for a while.
Is a big trip with General Scott, south of the Rio Grande.
Some of your comrades are on on the other side. Almost all generals.
Oh, that's worse than the general, colonel.
Some of the young men I left Ireland also on the other side. Imagine that.
We're together escaping from tyranny...
... and finally shoot each other in the land of freedom.
I also have friends on the other side, sergeant.
And the enemy.
Yes, sir.
There is no shortage of enemies, that's certain.
We are ordered to stay in place.
The army spreads out several miles.
Enemies dig behind a small river.
Antietam Creek, is only this side of Sharpsburg.
We can put in battle every time.
For now, have people get ready, finish breakfast and wait for orders.
- clear? - Sure, colonel.
Whose rifle is that? Did the attack begin?
Chances are initial feeling, test, strength test.
It's artillery kids games...
... as long as you know they can hit you when the time comes.
Lawrence, look at this.
This is what we eat every day.
But you know? I am gaining weight.
It is hard to believe that humans can gain weight with the worm diet.
The best food, sergeant. We move.
Good morning, sir.
Yankees come quickly in the forest before us.
We make heat for them.
We have to hold this ridge.
So rain them, Pastor.
sir.
Sir, it's me, Rob.
My dear child. How are you doing, kid?
I'm fine, sir.
Congratulations to you because has been struggling and not hurt.
May God take care of you too.
And remember, kid, we have to do all the things we can to hit these people.
Yes, we will do our best, sir.
Shoot!
Mr. Pendleton, go to General Hood. Ask if he can maintain his position?
Yes, sir, can he maintain his position?
Hyah, hyah!
Shoot!
Fill in!
Shoot!
Good, right, being a sergeant?
To shoot a sergeant, you have to attack two people.
A sergeant won't shoot until the person in front of him is killed...
... unless you want to show off.
Move them to the field and wait for further instructions.
We're part of the reserve.
- Battalion, forward! - Forward!
Line up!
Greetings from General Jackson.
He wants to know, Can you maintain your position?
Notify General Jackson unless I get help...
... I must be strong again.
But I will try my best.
Yes, sir. Help.
- Charge! - Charge!
Aim!
Shoot!
Forward, forward!
Shoot!
- General McClellan, sir. - General Hancock.
Have you heard that General Richardson was injured?
I heard he was hurt.
I'm sorry to tell you it's serious and you will take command.
Yes, sir. Of course.
I feel honored to receive command.
I'm sure you will do this task...
... with the skills and courage you've shown.
We are moving now, and we will push rebels into the river before sunset.
Hold this position against every enemy attack.
Reply from General Hood:
"Tell Jackson unless I get help, I must be strong again."
- But he will do his best. - Good.
General McLaws, advance your troops...
Captain Morrison.
It is recommended that you keep your distance from me.
Don't let Anna lose her husband and brother the same day.
Battalion, stop!
The battle is done in our way. Prepare them.
Yes, sir.
The kindness of a woman admirer in Sharpsburg.
Do you think we can survive from another attack?
They have done the worst.
I think there's a bit of danger from being broken into our ranks.
We don't need it today, colonel.
Corps 5 is not needed at this time, gentlemen.
Not in accordance with the consideration of our commander.
The battle is very expensive.
The enemy has been examined, is a big loss for both parties.
From what we see, we are a little lucky.
This allows battle to continue tomorrow.
He who created us gives us a kind of strong argument...
... starting before and after, gives us the inability...
... and great reasons into us unused.
Now, is it a forgotten animal, or some cowardly reluctance...
... who thinks too well on events...
... adjacent thoughts with one part one wisdom...
... and actually three cowardly parts...
... I don't know why I haven't said "This is to be done"...
... even though I have reason, will, strength and the means to do it.
Examples of striking like the earth urges me:
These army witnesses like the people and responsibilities...
... led by a delicate and gentle prince...
... whose soul is filled with great ambitions...
... makes the mouth invisible...
... exposes what is transitory and uncertain...
... for all deaths and dangers of courage, even for eggshells.
Right to be big is not a commotion without big arguments...
... but it's very good to find a dispute in straw when honor is at stake.
How I stand up later...
... with the father killed...
... stained mother...
... the excitement of my common sense and my blood...
... and let all fall asleep?
Meanwhile, I'm embarrassed to see...
... the death of 20,000 people will soon...
... that, for fantasy or tricks of fame...
... going to their graves like a bed, struggling for a plot of land...
... which number doesn't know the cause...
... is it not enough or close to the grave to hide the one being killed?
Oh, for now and so on...
... my mind is bleeding...
... or become worthless.
She's crazy. Did you see this?
This is no more than the term for slave rebellion.
Honey, I almost never saw you.
Can't you put a newspaper for tonight?
This will damage your mood. It is always like that.
This. Read for yourself.
Lincoln plans general independence during the New Year...
... for all slaves in the country which are still in rebellion.
But another page from the Constitution is torn apart.
But this isn't dangerous, John.
Look, it says here:
"An independence from all slaves in a country that is still in rebellion"
But don't you see?
It is a country where the president has no authority and power.
Of course you're right.
I don't consider that information.
Now, we can fold the newspaper into a nice little square...
... until I can cut it into a hundred small pieces...
... and throw it on the road?
Hmm.
Boyo, next round, please.
Now, it's said here Blackmantle is the art of wordplay...
... that "word play is art of sound in harmony with words...
... which passes through the ear and falls on the diaphragm...
... excites the titillary movement in the section - that part.
... which is sent by animal spirit to facial muscles...
... and arises in the heart. "
Okay, then. Are all ready?
- Of course, why not? - Yes, Sir.
Continues about England.
Who has many dogs?
Berkshire.
- Ha, ha. - Very good.
Where did the first sissy come from?
Um... Middlesex.
Yes. And where did the first circus acrobatics come from?
Circus acrobats?
Somersault (somersault).
- Oh, God. - Somerset.
I see you have learned rule number six:
Don't say good people say and never laugh at it.
Somerset.
rebel snipers are in the house.
That's what makes the Yankees get shot.
- Where is that? - Outside Winchester.
Yankees through the city are more often than flies on mules.
Mm
Where is your master now?
I don't have a master anymore.
Now he's my boss.
I was sold at the Fredericksburg auction...
... and he bought me for $ 1,200.
Then the war comes, and doesn't side with it...
... So he gave me my freedom paper.
Now he pays my salary.
- No. - Thirty dollars a month.
What does he pay you for?
I can do anything with my hands.
Then the Yankees come and burn the house...
... and the next thing you know, the man who paid my salary...
... is in the AD Confederation. And me too
- That's good! - Let's do this.
Hey, come on. Check.
No. Gentlemen.
Stay where you are.
Greetings.
General.
How are our Prussian officers tonight?
I think General Stuart will allow you at least...
... 20 miles behind enemy lines...
... creates chaos and confusion in Washington.
I definitely prefer that mission.
But tonight...
... tonight, general, I came with a present.
General Jackson...
... I'm very happy to bring this gift from General Stuart.
The general has gone far enough to secure this for you.
Do you want me to open it, sir?
Thank you.
General.
This is from fine material. See.
This is a golden braid.
Tell General Stuart I really appreciate this gift.
Please convince generals...
... I will take care of him...
... and maybe there's nothing wrong with visiting there.
Mr. Pendleton, can you put the uniform in my tent.
- And keep the folds neat. - Sir.
No, general, no.
You don't understand.
General Stuart is the most insistent.
He said you are now a lieutenant general...
... troop commander, you deserve a new uniform.
He really insisted you try it.
He will definitely ask, "Is it suitable?"
I'm begging, general.
Try it.
General, it's a very good coat.
That's the sweetest music I've ever heard.
Ah, gentlemen.
Excuse me, General Burnside...
... General Hancock has information that might be useful.
General Hancock, an honor. Sumner, come in.
We have guests.
General Hancock reports that the river can be briefly traversed through upstream.
There will be no difficulty crossing. With your permission, we can move.
General Hancock, I appreciate your surveillance effort...
... but this possibility has already been considered and rejected.
Pontoon (engineers) will be here here at any time.
Not only people who will cross, but also trains and equipment.
It would be stupid to send people without trains, heavy weapons...
Sorry, what is my observation...
... that there are small enemy forces across the river?
Yes, you are very right.
For all we can make Lee surprised.
Then, if I may suggest, is it impossible for Lee to move this way?
Of course he knows our purpose. If you can put a city with an infantry...
... the work will be much easier when the bridge comes.
Yes, but it's risky. People can be cut off. In weather like this?
It will snow, then melt. The river can rise unexpectedly.
This is the best, I guarantee, if you wait until all the soldiers can cross.
General Burnside, if you don't cross the river immediately...
... General Lee will try to stop us.
He won't let us move toward Richmond's resistance.
Where is General Jackson's army?
We shouldn't try to occupy Fredericksburg...
... and maybe the glory is gone, when we can take it?
Allow me, sir, at least send General Hancock's division across the river.
Surely they can bring enough supplies...
... and artillery on this side can protect their from every attack by Lee.
Gentlemen, we will cross the river when the bridge arrives and not before.
I have no reason to deviate from the bigger plan.
The president agreed to my strategy, and I will obey it.
After these forces are across the river, we will advance to Richmond with strength.
We can't let him...
... attacking us separately because he did it in the past.
And I won't make the same mistake like my predecessor.
So no, General Hancock.
You will stay on this side until the engineers are in place...
... and the whole army crossed together.
The main thing, invincible strength.
Do you know George Washington spent his childhood not far from here?
And on the other side of the river, he must have been throwing a silver coin...
... and cutting down cherry trees.
That's possible, Mr. Taylor, but the biggest meaning for me...
It was when I met my wife.
That's the thing the Yankees don't understand, will never understand.
You see this river, valley, stream,...
... fields, even cities?
That's just a map sign for people in the Washington war office.
But for us, my goodness, is the place of birth and grave.
That's a battlefield where our ancestors fought...
... the place where you and I learn walk, talk and pray.
The place where we are friends and fall in love.
That's an embodiment all our memories, Taylor...
... and that's us.
That's us.
- What is this place? - Crossing representative.
We have two or more hours from Fredericksburg.
We rest here for a while.
Yes, sir. I'll see what's good done by people.
The general wants to eat something warm?
No, Jim.
We must go directly to General Lee.
I don't want everything to be warm just to feel cold again.
You never seem to feel cold.
I feel it. I just don't show.
Little horse, I know This corn looks bad...
... but it will be bad if there is no corn at all.
Have you heard of your family lately?
I don't hear much.
Yankee post is usually fast taking a letter...
God, from Your seat You can see a considerable distance...
... who separated our Southern men from their wives and children.
We pray that you will take care of our family.
Lord, I ask you to watch over Jim Lewis family...
... friends, loved ones, wherever they are.
God, I know you see into everyone's heart...
... as you saw into the heart of old Jim Lewis.
And God, I know is no lie or deception...
... can hide from you.
You find the truth...
... at the bottom of the deepest hole of darkness.
There is no one hiding from Your truth and watching Your eyes.
Amen.
How is it, God?
Can you explain something to Virginia's parents?
How is a good Christian...
... like some people I know...
... can you tolerate his black brother in slavery?
How, God, they are not...
... just decide on their chain?
How is it, God?
My heart is open and hurt.
And I want to know.
God, talk to us.
Talk to your children.
Talk to Jim Lewis and Thomas Jackson, _ Your humble and loyal servant.
Talk to all of us.
Our hearts are open.
Lord, you showed us the way, we will follow.
Amen.
- Jim? - Yeah.
What is your family status?
About half free, half slave.
That's all cousins and the like.
We are going to a country where is not much animal feed...
... as much as in my hand.
General Lee, good day, sir.
We have cannons along the hill, covers us in front of the river.
Strong anchor in the north.
Tomorrow, the weapon will be positioned in the trees to the south.
We can cover all the land open, everyone.
Will they come to us here?
Colonel Alexander...
... federal forces gather across the river see we prepare for them.
If I'm General Burnside, I won't attack here.
I will move upstream, come from above us.
Burnside is not a person with flexible luxury.
He's being pushed from behind loudly in Washington...
... by newspaper which demands quick action.
But we are here, so he will attack us here.
We aim the cannon from all angles.
They cross the canal, will slow them down.
We will hit them from all sides.
A chicken can't live on that field.
General Lee.
General Jackson sent respect...
... and suggest the corps is heading south from this position...
... tomorrow, like your instructions.
What are the people made of?
Its position is 150 miles away.
For General Jackson, dawn soon after midnight.
General Hood, I often ask how can it be...
... Texans, who are _ most independent and emotional...
... agreed to serve under Kentucky.
I often think the same.
General Gregg, have you matched your difference with General Jackson?
No, General Hill, no.
For you?
No, sir.
Say, general...
... do you wish to live until the end of this war?
Oh. I don't know...
... But I tend to think I will live.
I wish I would get hurt.
And you, general?
I don't expect to live to see the end of this war.
Also I can say, without victory I want to do it.
- Road. - Street.
sir?
Yes, Mr. Pendleton, you may enter.
I'm sorry, general. There is a letter for you.
Couriers run a little later today, but I think you want to see it.
Yes, thank you.
Good night, sir.
My dear father:
As a manifestation of my mother's letter which was cut off by my arrival...
... I think about it but justice which requires it to continue.
I know you're happy hearing my presence.
And I hope God has sent me illuminating your way through life.
I'm so tiny.
I only weigh eight and a half pounds...
... and Aunt Harriet said I was a form of affection for my father.
My mother is very comfortable this morning.
Your beloved daughter.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
They have occupied all buildings along the river bank.
We will be a layer of pontoon troops through the cries of leadership.
Once crossed, the rebels must have made us pay for each block.
Out of town is the channel that crosses this open field...
... we have to pass the field to reach their defense in Marye's Heights...
... another difficult obstacle in dealing with artillery fire.
Going down to the left side we can break through...
... circling Jackson's line, pushing him back, Longstreet trap on the hill...
... surround it.
That is possible.
Spin the Jackson line?
Not general, we will meet them.
And that will be a bloody mess.
We will march to this hill...
... and we become their artillery meal along this field.
We will look at ourselves and say:
"We are good soldiers. We do what we are told."
If we fail, we can say is a good plan, but that is possible.
You can go back to your hometown...
... and tell your soldier's family they died on duty.
The rebels have built a fortress at the top of the river.
After all, there are strong currents and obstacles for crossing there.
Under Fredericksburg, the river is too wide.
And our earliest troops will go down to Port Royal.
Fredericksburg is the only place we can cross.
If Burnside doesn't cross here, he may resign.
That clever fox has defeated our commander again.
And it will be paid to hell.
Fast! Let's go!
Choose your target, children!
Start shooting!
Yankees will come, as sure as God. They have two pontoons across the river.
We have to take you and children out of here.
Stop busy me. Prepare your family. We will go together.
Miss Jane, stop discussing this, and we decide to stay here...
... and take care of the house. Don't talk anymore.
Martha, I will not leave you with the mercy of the blue devil.
Miss Jane, they won't bother us colored people.
If we go together, there won't be food left in the pantry when we return.
And we need to eat, just like you.
- Father Lacy, we have to run to the group. - No time.
Streets are bombarded with bullets. To the basement.
Has anyone been hurt?
Sam?
Calm down.
Sam!
Can you wake up? Quiet! Quiet!
Back off, Mississippi!
Back off!
Mother? Youre here?
Oh, thank God! That's Mr. John!
- We are here in the basement! - The door is blocked!
I will turn sideways!
Children, you live here. Mother will come back.
Come on out! There is an ambulance in front.
Enemies crossing the river. Fast!
- No! Martha, I won't go without you. - I told you, I live.
I caught up with you later.
Come on, Martha.
Stay in the basement!
Hyah.
Take a bayonet!
God be with them.
May He strengthen their hearts and hands for the upcoming struggle.
Give them victory.
May I serve you North good masters?
Is this your master's house?
This is my home.
Children!
Sorry to disturb you, lady.
Come on, let's go.
Back inside. Hurry up.
Stop this soon! Where are the officers?
Drop it, soldier. Now!
Take a message to Couch, for Hancock.
This is intolerable! This is an army, not a rioter!
General Jackson, you are the most handsome this morning.
Thank you, General Stuart, I appreciate your gift.
General Longstreet, show us where is your position.
Yes, sir. We dock in the north with the Anderson division...
... on the river bend and the Ransom division...
... along and under the hill Marye's Heights...
... with Cobb's troops digging under the road behind the stone wall.
On their right, General McLaws...
... and lower in the forest and right, Pickett and Hood.
General Hood on my right wing.
He is connected in big trees there with General Jackson on the left.
Until here at Heights, we have Washington artillery...
... Colonel Alexander 's cannon and support.
This is a strong line, general.
Good.
General Jackson, please explain the line for us?
General AP Hill on the left side, side by side General Hood.
This position is supported by General Taliaferro and General Early.
Now for right and back wings is D.H Hill.
We have built a road behind along our line.
We can move troops as needed.
If the enemy penetrates line at each point...
... backup, Taliaferro and Early, can move quickly to new positions.
If the enemy tries to cut our center...
... or if General Pickett is pressed, we can change positions, sir.
Good, very good.
General Stuart, are you in a strong position to protect...
... General Jackson's side?
Yes, sir.
We cover the enemy from the river, as far as our own line.
If the Yankee moves along the river or threatens to change General Jackson's line...
... we can block ahead of them until the line is moved.
Alright. Gentlemen, this spread has been voiced.
The rest is in God's hands.
Amen.
In the Roman civil war...
... Julius Caesar knows he must march to Rome himself...
... without any legions allowed.
Marcus Lucanus leaves us with a note about what happened.
How quickly did Caesar overcome the cold of the Alps...
... and in his mind there is great upheaval, the coming war.
When arriving at a small Rubicon, is clearly visible in the night fog...
... the picture of his country is in trouble...
... sadness on his face...
... white hair waving from the crown of his head.
With wet hair and bare shoulders, he stands in front and complains:
"Where do you line up next? Where do you bring my back, soldier?
If you come legally, if you are a citizen, is only allowed so far."
Trembling hits his limbs.
And the weakness was seen in his step, held his leg by the river.
Finally he spoke.
Oh, roar...
... see the big wall of Rome from the Tarpeian stone.
Oh, Phrygia, god's temple passed...
... the people and mysteries of Quirinus who lift up to heaven.
Oh, Jupiter of Latium, sit in the majesty of Alba and Vesta's fireplace.
Oh, Rome, as equal as the highest deity, support my plan.
Not with god's weapon I chased you.
This is me, Caesar...
... conquerors of land and sea, your own army everywhere...
... right now if I'm allowed.
The person who made you my enemy, will be the guilty person.
He breaks the barriers to war and crosses overflowing rivers...
... he quickly took his banner.
When Caesar passes the flood and reaches the opposite bank...
... from Hesperia's forbidden land, he stood up and said:
"Here, I leave peace and tarnish the Law.
Fortune, you are the one I follow see you agreement. From now on, war is our judge ".
Life of Caesar.
We will die respecting you.
General Zook! Move your troops forward!
Very fast, move forward!
Great, children. You will soon advance. What is the position of General Meagher?
He enjoys the privilege of an officer. Protecting the back. Someone must take care of the emblematic company.
Hold the line!
Raise the weapon!
Colonel.
Maine 20 forward.
Battalion! Take up arms!
Take up arms!
Face left!
Right row...
... line!
Come on, show them cold steel! Irish troops, move!
Irish troops, very quickly...
... move forward!
Front and center!
Double column, kids! Formation!
Forward!
Keep moving!
That's Irish troops. Why are they under the blue flag?
Don't you know we are fighting for our independence?
Did they not learn anything in the hands of the British?
They are people Rep. Ireland. They are our brothers.
They are misled for their fate.

- Caldwell's forces, come forward! Now! - Yes, Sir!
Very fast! Line up!
- General Armistead. - Afternoon, General Pickett.
- See Meagher's last attack? - They deserve a better fate.
Their courage deserves better.
My heart stops when I see it.
I don't believe those brave people...
... can march to the face of destruction.
General Longstreet...
... put people fresher in your garage...
... they can flood our defense.
If they put all their forces on the field to approach me...
... give me a lot of ammunition, I kill them before they reach my line.
However, we must be careful, general.
We do not ignore things that are unknown or unexpected.
I will take action needed. Command!
Send an order to Ransom to advance his division...
... and for Kershaw, bring the troops support Cobb on the wall.
Yes, sir!
Forward!
General Griffin.
This is my first brigade that is going to hell.
Okay, prepare them.
Maine 20, arrange bayonets!
Officers from Brigade 3 will go down.
Take up arms!
All right, man, take them!
Move forward!
Fill in! Five-second axis!
He explodes! Laras explode!
- Stretcher! - General Lee, are you okay, sir?
- Sergeant! Panggi surgeon! Fast! - Help me stand up.
This is not our time, gentlemen.
Not yet our time.
General Kemper. General Kemper.
You were ordered by General Longstreet to move to the left in favor of McLaws.
Take two regiments from your army to the sunken road behind the stone wall.
Yes, sir. Immediately.
Do your duty, general.
My horse. We go where the fight is.
The commander general has called us into battle.
We move immediately.
If we can defeat the enemy, is here today...
... I tell, from what I know...
... Confederations must be established.
Citizens of Virginia...
... those of you who have fought on so many terrain are difficult...
... today your country is calling to you again...
... to stand between him and the enemy.
And I know, you will do your job!
Troops, stop! Battalion form!
Send them fast. Fill in and send them fast!
Shoot!
Maine 20...
... stop!
It's not difficult to move from the battle line to the crawl column.
The difficult one moves from the column to the battle row...
... and if you make that step, is definitely when you are in an attack.
Remember how important this movement was studied thoroughly...
... that they can do that in their sleep.
Looks terrible on the hill.
This will be shortened by those in front.
Sorry, sir.
The only thing that will be shortened is their life.
God is helping us now.
- Colonel, guard the right wing. - Yes, Sir. I will watch them.
Caesar's life.
We will die respectfully to you.
Maine 20!

Battalion, opponent with fire!
Good, kids, shoot!
Pour into it!
Close the gap, kids! Pour into it!
Fill this hole now!
Good, pour it in, kids!
Then! Pour into it! Wear the line there!
- sir? - What is wrong?!
Ask permission to go back, sir.
Permission granted. Permission granted.
Good kids. Pour it.
Don't be Patrick, my child. Just fill and shoot.
Pour into it, kids! Pour into it!
Fill in the lines in that!
Fill this hole now!
Wear it right!

Pour into it, kids! Pour into it!
Shoot!
- Retreat! - Get back! Back off!
Back off, kids!
- What are you doing? - You will be grateful for the morning.
Oh, Mother, help me...
It's okay, Casey, I'm holding you. Forget everything. I'll take you home.
fast. Fill it fast!
That it's true that war is so terrible...
... we have to grow to love it too much.
Yes, sir?
We take over your house for the hospital.
Enter outside cold.
You are there.
Are you hurt?
Sorry, old friend...
Damn.
- General Hancock, sir. - Surgeon.
This person is Major Sidney Willard from Massachusetts 35.
This way, sir.
Prepare to lift. Lift.
He was shot twice in the chest, general. There is nothing I can do.
- Is there whiskey in this house? - Yes, Sir.
Drink this, sir.
I love them the person you drove out of this house.
I know almost all of them throughout my life.
The Beale family is a good person.
Mr. General?
I was born a slave.
And I want to die free.
God knows I want to die free, and I want my children to be free.
Heaven helps me.
May God bless you all.
Damn, Tom, You scared me to death.
You, Lawrence? I think you are in the afterlife.
Mother?
I have seen from binoculars...
... and without hesitation can ensure that our house is still standing.
Oh.
I pray to God for Martha and her children.
But, Mother...
... it's a sad sight under the Peak of Marye.
My heart feels revenge on the invaders...
... but everything I think for them is sadness.
Lucy dear...
... when you were little...
... I'm sure that year was 1847...
... there is a big hunger in Ireland.
The entire field under the peak is closed...
... by the best corn that has ever grown in this region.
Most of it is donated for Irish hunger.
I don't think...
... but that helps feed the poor victim of Irish troops...
... that fell on that field today.
General Gregg.
General Jackson.
I want to apologize...
... for our differences.
The doctor told me your life is soon.
I want to remove it from your mind...
... and change your mind to God...
... and the world you are going to go to.
General...
... you know that I don't believe.
Then I will believe it for both of us.
How terrible the war is.
Terrible, yes...
... but we have been attacked.
God, what can we do?
Kill them, sir.
Kill every last person of them.
Gentlemen.
I won't give for a cup of Rio now.
Maine 20! Shoot back!
- Reply to shoot! - Reply to shoot!
Oh.
Patrick.
I hope you don't mind.
I know you're in heaven, but I have work to do...
... in this cruel world.
- Colonel Chamberlain. - Mm.
Your order to withdraw. Withdrawing to the city.
Colonel.
We were ordered to guard the line and protect the Army to retreat across the river.
Colonel Chamberlain, do you hear me?
Yes, sir. We must retreat.
Captain Spear.
- Form of regiment. We move out. - Yes, Sir.
Morning, general.
General Jackson wants to report the enemy is no longer in front of his position.
Continue, Mr. Pendleton.
General, the enemy has been withdrawn back across the river.
The pontoon bridge is gone, sir, cut off from the edge of the river.
Major, General Longstreet called.
I want to know what's under us and I don't want to wait for the fog to disappear.
Yes, sir.
Captain Pendleton, You can go back to General Jackson.
Say my appreciation for perseverance...
... and remind him, we don't give the enemy...
... the chance to unload our troops with their weapons in Stafford Heights.
When fog is gone, any movement will become the target of artillery fire.
Yes, sir.
And, captain, I say about your thigh wound.
I believe it's not serious.
Thank you for asking, general.
This is just a normal wound.
Not serious at all.
Yankee.
Everywhere.
Where have you been? I can't find my house. Lost!
What did you do with my house?
Where is that? Can you tell me?
Can you? Can it
Maine 20, stop!
You've worked hard, colonel.
- I'm glad to see you get out of there. - This is an opportunity, general.
There aren't many smart plans there.
God knows I'm not the one who put you there.
That's the problem. You should put us in, sir.
We are put one by one, in the roasting fork.
♫ Steal away
♫ Steal away to Jesus
♫ Steal away
♫ Steal away home
♫ I don't have long
♫ To stay here
What will you do. Now is your master dead?
I already said he was my boss...
... not my master.
Whatever it is, he's gone now.
There's not much left for me here in Virginnia.
My brother ran away with Yankee. He is in Chambersburg now.
In northern Pennsylvania.
Do you plan to go there?
After I took this body to his relatives in Winchester...
... I plan to do that.
Well, that's good for you Your boss was killed in the winter.
It was a long trip brought a man in a pine box.
Whites kill each other for a while.
They are still pretty crazy, and many of them.
But this rebel...
... give me my freedom paper.
He is with the Creator.
I just brought it home.
Amen.
"The soldiers...
... even though you didn't succeed in the recent battle...
... the effort was not a mistake, or a failure apart from an accident.
There are no soldiers in the history of war fighting more courageously than you.
Condolence for families left behind...
... and sympathize for those who are seriously injured,...
... I congratulate AD on the number of victims...
-... relatively small. " - Compared to what?
Scotland in Culloden? English at Bunker Hill?
France at Waterloo?
" Thank you from the country. "
Signed: Abraham Lincoln.
Battalion!
Disband!
During this Christmas season, when the fairy is in the air...
... we can wonder on the sudden miracle...
... which shows the Fredericksburg event in the right light...
... and give us national joy not national sadness.
General Jackson?
Do you know the meaning of this decoration?
I wonder if will tell me.
- This is the Santa sled. - I understand.
And this is made of candy.
These are ginger snowflakes.
And this is a series of angel paper.
You made this angel?
That's beautiful.
- How old are you, Jane? - I'm 5 years old.
- How old are you? - I'm 38 years old.
My father is 38 years old. He is a soldier like you.
I've never seen it more than a year.
I haven't met your father, but I told you he's a very nice person, very brave.
I'm sure he missed you as much as I miss my child.
When did you last see your daughter?
I've never seen him.
He was born a few days ago.
I want to see it more than anything in this world.
I want to see it as much as your father wants to see you.
Did you see the star above the tree?
Star of Bethlehem.
Stars that show arif people where they can find the baby Jesus.
Mother says the star will show father how to find the way home.
Your mother is very wise, very good person.
Your father will go home.
All fathers will go home.
Oh, honey.
Gentlemen, let's raise the glass for our Southern woman...
... those without their courage and fortitude...
... without love, without their endurance and sacrifice...
... not the men among us can be firm in their stance...
... or maintain his opinion.
Listen, listen.
Now it's time for carol. Go ahead. Everyone must sing.
- My favorite Carol. - I can't sing.
Of course you can, Mr. Jackson. You can breathe, right?
Let your breath flow softly over your vocal cords and nature does the rest.
♫ Silent night.
♫ Holy night
Dear Fanny:
The trumpet has just been heard, Brigade 3 turns off the lights.
It makes me happy to think of you and my beloved little child at home...
... all holding together.
I know all that is good shines on him His sweet face shines in my heart.
Come and let me kiss your lips dear, my noble wife.
Let our hearts worship with God's love, and wisdom, and compassion.
Yes, all is well with us, baby...
... good if we can meet in the end, because I pray God allows us.
Hey, Billy Yankee.
- That's a very good song. - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I even prefer to have coffee to drink.
- Want tobacco? - Sure, Johnny.
Have a limp?
What do you want to trade with a limp?
Do you want to have General Burnside?
No. I think I'll save it.
Come on, get your tobacco.
Mr. Smith, are you aware that the Bible gives official battle report models?
- No, sir. - However, there is something like that.
Consider the story of the battle of Joshua with the Amalekites.
There is clarity and simplicity, short.
And it traces victory to the right source, thanks to God.
Does that help your report, sir?
Is there someone at home?
Afternoon, General Jackson.
What is this?
- New recruits. - Ha ha.
My mother helped me make this.
Um? This is good.
- Left, right. Left right. - Son, the hat is a little big for you.
However...
... this.
This is more suitable for young girls than for an old soldier.
Mother baked some biscuits.
I'm thinking of walking to a big house for a cup of hot tea.
And would prefer to be accompanied by a beautiful little woman.
Yes, General Jackson, a cup of hot chamomile.
Mr. Smith, you can continue writing the report.
Consult first and Samuel second...
... and... first and second King.
They will help you.
Can we leave?
Do you prefer butter biscuits or sugar cakes?
dear. I know your mother's biscuits number one.
Whoo!
Coward.
Good for you to call me a coward...
... when you spend all my salary on stockings.
Whoo!
The first lady must look good if her husband is like a baboon.
You must have lost "LINK-OLN."
I began to wonder who was running the White House.
And it looks long and short for him.
And now, my rebellious friends...
... My dearest lover will sing his own poem...
... and invite you to join in the choir.
"The Bonnie Blue Flag!"
♫ We are a band of brothers ♫ And native to the soil
♫ Fighting for our liberty with...
♫ And when our rights were threatened The cry rose near and far
♫ Hurray for the Bonnie Blue Flag That bears a single star
♫ Hurray, Hurray For Southern rights, hurray
♫ Hurray for the Bonnie Blue Flag That bears a single star
We owe thanks to the Texans for being invited to these events.
Colonel Patton, someone who can't handle guitar or violin... ... won't be able to carry a gun.
♫ But now, when Northern treachery
♫ Attempts our rights to mar
♫ We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag That bears a single star
♫ Hurray, Hurray For Southern rights, hurray

Attention, battalion.
Stop.
- Sergeant, take care of these people now. - Yes, Sir.
sir.
People caught three deserters.
Form of military court.
After they were charged. Give them a fair trial.
Yes, sir.
Yes?
I think you should know, sir.
They are from Stonewall forces.
Do your duty, soldier.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Pendleton, if you are not guilty, these people will be free.
But if they are proven desertion...
... the military court sentenced him to death. That is for sure.
Yes, sir.
Of course, sir.
I'm not done yet.
Sandie.
If the Republicans lose their small war, they lose the next election...
... and return to their homes in New York or Massachusetts or Illinois...
... fat with their war profits.
If we lose, we lose our country.
We lose our independence.
We lost everything.
Our soldiers are brave.
They have experienced suffering which they never imagined.
desertion is not a petty crime.
It's a crime against tens of thousands of veterans...
... who gathered together in the coldness of this winter.
To all those who have been sacrificed.
Against all who have fallen.
To all women and children that we leave behind to fend for themselves.
I consider the crime of desertion as a sin against the Army of God.
Our assignment.
The consequence is God.
I'm a soldier in Virginia 4.
And at Virginia 4 I'll stay.
And if necessary, I die.
Military Court of the Army Northern Virginia...
... declares you guilty of desertion and varnishes you dead...
... by firing squad.
Lieutenant, do your job.
Group, get ready!
Aim.
Shoot!
Restore, in hand!
Morning, Lawrence.
- Is there a letter? - Not.
But I managed to get the New York Tribune.
- Do they say about us? - There's not much about us.
I mean, the Army is here in the turn of Stoneman.
Certainly invites a stir about the Lincoln Independence Proclamation.
It is said that registration drops and desertion rises.
- Is there grumbling among people? - Not in our regiment.
Many ask why they should gamble their lives for blacks.
Tom, you know my position.
I registered to defend the Union. The President is doing the right thing.
What is the use of uniting the country with power and leaving slavery in place?
That's annoying Johnny's rebels.
They will think Lincoln instigated slaves to rise up against them.
Why is that?
Freeing slaves is not the goal of war when it starts, but war changes something.
- It sort things out. - I don't know, Lawrence.
Not everyone feels something like us about blacks.
Especially when it comes to fighting and dying.
Tom.
Please...
Don't call me Lawrence and call the Negro "Black."
That is a degrading expression which we should be free of.
Come on out. I want to show you something.
Thousands of these people.
Many of them are no more than young people.
Each of them is a mother's son.
Some brothers and sisters. Some children from father.
Each of them, loved and appreciated in some distant homes.
Many of them will never return.
Soldiers are strength.
The whole purpose is to force others.
A kind of power that cannot be used carelessly or recklessly.
A kind of power that can be very detrimental.
We see a lot of suffering from people who have seen...
... if anyone will end it, it must really end.
Somewhere out there is the Confederate Army.
They claim to fight for independence, for their freedom.
I can't question their integrity.
I believe they are wrong, but can't question it.
But I question the freedom system while denying others.
For a human fight.
I admit, Tom, war is a scourge. But also slavery.
This is a system of coercion - a group of people over others.
This has been around since the book of Genesis.
This is in every corner of the world.
But that is no reason for us to tolerate it here...
... when we see right before our eyes, in our own country.
As God is my witness, nothing I love is more than you.
But if we are part of the price for end the curse and free the Negro...
... then let God do it.
Oh, general, we appreciate the prize.
Where are all these lemons from?
This is a kind of good maintenance gives good results.
Miss Corbin, Yankee hasn't succeeded yet cut our railroads...
... to the South.
This is to warm, cool South.
And, Miss Corbin, this is for your involvement.
Maybe Sandie Pendleton proved to be a good husband because he was a soldier.
This is delicious, not too sweet.
Can I add?
Sure.
Mrs. Corbin.
Thank you for all your kindness.
Our goal and our country owes you.
I'm just sorry, general, we can't do more.
Will you visit us when this cruel war ends?
I have to say goodbye to your daughter. I will miss her very much.
Of course, general. He doesn't feel good today.
All children have a fever. Please, come in.
What is this?
How do I play if my friend insists on staying in bed?
Jane.
Will you put this angel on your next Christmas tree?
God bless you, son.
Mrs. Corbin, I have to go back to my men.
My doctor, Dr. McGuire, will come to take care of it.
- I'll send it directly. - God bless you, general.
Fresh meat. A change.
Living around this place like a peacock in a bird cage.
That's scarlet fever.
Children will be fine. Except...
I'm very sorry, sir.
Little girl, Jane.
He doesn't survive. He died, sir.
Don't, Sandie.
What is that?
He never cried before.
Not for all blood and all deaths, is not for young students from VMI...
... not for his friends...
... not for anyone.
That's not it, Sandie.
I think he's crying for all of them.
She's too beautiful for me.
Nonsense, Thomas.
He is very similar to you.
He was born early and he was happy was in my arm.
I've never seen you so good, Thomas.
You're more handsome than before.
And recognize this child now to be baptized in it...
... may you receive your full grace...
... and set the number of your loyal children.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Amen.
What is the Christian name?
- Julia Laura. - Julia Laura.
I baptized you in the name of the Father...
... and Children...
... and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
He won't agree.
Mr. Minnis.
Will you tell him you sent to take photos of General Lee...
... but General Lee refused unless General Jackson was taken first.
Of course, Captain Pendleton.
No photos.
Sir, I was sent from Richmond to take photos of General Lee...
... but the general decided didn't want the picture taken...
... until I take your photo first.
Sir, General Lee is the most insistent about the importance of your photos.
I can't refuse General Lee's request.
Where do you want me to stand?
Mr. Booth is here a few months.
He plays Hamlet, Katherine and Petruchio...
... The Merchant of Venice, Richard III and Macbeth.
Which is your favorite, Mr. President?
I don't think anyone has matched Macbeth.
I've read it many times.
- I'm curious to see Mr. Booth's acting. - Really?
I was told Booth did a spectacular death scene.
Very alive. is wilder than his brother Edwin.
That's one of the blemishes I saw from Shakespeare heroes.
What's the reproach, honey?
They made long speeches when they were killed.
Indeed.
Is this the dagger I saw before...
... whose handle is pointing to my hand?
Come on, let me hold you.
I don't have you yet, until you're calm.
Are you not, fatal vision, deserve to feel like seeing?
Or true of you but dagger mind...
... fake creation...
... arises from hot oppressed brains?
I haven't seen you...
... in a clear form like this which I'm drawing.
You took me through the road I went through...
... and like the instruments I use.
My eyes are made by fools or other healthy thoughts.
I still see you...
... and on your knife and anger...
... splattered blood, which wasn't so before.
This is a bloody affair caught by my eyes.
Even though I threaten...
... he lives.
Words of heat make it too cold by breath.
I'm leaving, and it's over.
The bell pulled me.
Listen no, Duncan...
... for that bell calls you to heaven...
... or to hell.
Well, Mr. Booth, another victory.
The President and Mrs. Lincoln want to see you.
You can tell the despotic king...
... destroyer of civil liberties...
... warmongers...
... that I am sick. Huh?
Even better, don't say anything to him.
Say I'm gone.
Gosh, Booth.
A support from the president of the United States.
It can be a big thing for your career.
General, from what we observe...
... Hooker has moved five corps, maybe 70,000 people.
They dig around house representatives.
Sedgwick has another 40,000 spread along Stafford Heights...
... on the north bank of Rappahannock in front of the Early General in Fredericksburg.
There may be more than 30,000 along the north of the river from here...
... which we have not yet placed.
We are not in a strong position here.
We owe a lot to obscurity, the mystery of General Hooker...
... which allows us to maneuver freely...
... between two parts of the army which is more than twice our strength.
We don't understand the plan yet.
He might be planning to move towards Gordonsville...
... moving around us, makes us cut off from Richmond.
And there's Sedgwick on the river.
Sedgwick does not show movement, but that can change.
They dock at the river...
... and their line continues to down Chancellorsville...
... then the curve is about here.
We have already observed their outer curve in this open land...
... then extended out to the west.
Then what, general? Do you know where their right wing is?
- No. Not yet. - We must know.
If he marches in that direction, he can threaten our side...
... or toward Gordonsville before we can react.
Here in the west, along this fast road, here...
... their right side is in the air. This is one place they don't dig.
They don't expect any pressure there.
- Who is on their side? - 11th Corps. Oliver Howard.
Is there a further road under that fast road?
Yes, sir. Indeed there is, a good way.
There is a Catherine furnace here and there is a way here.
- There's a way around here. - So, we have to hit them there.
Then attack the side. They can't go anywhere.
They have to go back across the river or we will destroy them.
We are too close to their line. They will observe our movements.
There must be another way.
Now, is there someone we know?
Someone we can trust who knows the area?
Captain Pendleton. Call Pastor Lacy.
I'm here, sir.
This is my pastor, Reverend Tucker Lacy.
He has family in this area.
General Lee.
Pastor, it will be very helpful if you can find us a safe route...
-... around the enemy. - There is, sir. I know that family.
The Wellford family. I suggest visiting them. We might find our guide.
Please leave, Mr. Lacy. Find someone who can show us how to proceed.
Yes, sir.
So this has been decided, general. This mission is yours.
I have no other way.
Where is General Jackson, Jim?
He goes to see the officer, sir.
Why do you know so much about what generals think, Jim?
None of us can.
The general never told me anything, sir.
But what I know is:
Generals pray twice a day...
... morning and night.
But if he gets out of bed pray at night or three times...
... I just prepared the backpack.
I know someone is moving in hand for wages in the morning.
"For wages in the morning."
Very funny.
- Funny. - Yeah.
Well.
Wait.
There is another way.
This is a long way below the Federal line.
Wellford's son explained it to me. He knows the route.
He will march with us to the place where the road is joined to the fast road...
... then we move east and attack their right side.
The distance is greater, maybe 12 or 13 miles, but children can do it.
They never disappoint us.
All right, general.
How many troops do you need?
Five, general, all of my corps.
And what will you leave for me?
Anderson and McLaws Division.
You leave me 12,000 people against 70,000 Hooker troops.
If Hooker pushes out of the ditch...
... he can destroy not only the plan but maybe the Army.
And there is still Sedgwick along the river.
How long will he be sitting looking at Marye's hill? How long?
We have divided the Army before.
We have to maintain profits from surprises, we have to surround the wings.
We must defeat them on their own game.
Bring all your corps, generals, and destroy the enemy.
God is with you.
My days have been counted.
My time has come.
You can laugh, but my time has arrived.
I have a 20 dollar gold piece and a silver watch...
... that my father sent me on the line.
Take it from me when I die.
Give my captain given to my father when he goes home.
Here are my clothes and blankets. Anyone can have it.
I don't want my quota. Gun and my bullet box to die with me.
- Mr. Smith. - Sir.
Instructions to the line: No noise, I want no conversation.
Walk with bayonets, let people know.
Guns don't fill until we spread for battle. Secrecy, Mr. Smith.
Everything depends on the element of surprise.
I will deliver the order.
- Pastor. - We can bow our heads.
God, heavenly Father, You know all things.
We face again the mighty enemy, a large number.
The enemy is more than twice our number.
But You have taught us to not be afraid, to believe in You.
When Palestinians come before them, Israelis are afraid of Goliath.
Their soldiers are scared.
Don't have the courage to stand up against strong soldiers.
Then you gave birth to David, a mere child.
And armed Saul David with his armor...
... and he put the helmet on his head.
He is also armed with a coat.
And David kept his sword on his shirt and he was tested to leave.
General Rodes, spread your members in both sides of the road fast, front brigade.
How will later the subordinates General Colston appear?
We are right behind, general.
General Lee...
... I hope attacks soon...
... I believe God will bless us with great success.
Bring this to General Lee.
General Rodes...
... Virginia Military School will be heard from today.
Spread your troops.
Two hours past noon. Are you ready, General Rodes?
You can move forward.
Wio wood Kendari, September 15, 2015.
Back off!
They are coming! Take your gun!
- Shoulder to shoulder! Come on! - Get back!
Aim, shoot!
Get back and save yourself!
Back off!
Shoot! Back off!
To the trees! Back off!
To the trees!
Form lines! Line form!
Form lines!
- Run! Run! - Charge!
Press!
Stop here! Aim! Shoot!
Press!
Shoot!
Damn, it's hot. I know you will be fine, stupid.
Oh, God.
Gathering again!
- Stop running! - Move into line!
Stay together!
God! Give them bayonets!
- Stop running! - Stop running!
Stop running, soldier!
Stop running! Join me!
- Join me! - Stop! Join around generals!
We have stopped, sir. We can't see. The lines are tangled.
We mix with Rodes' troops. This is confusing, sir.
We need Hill to move forward. Hill's men can move with us.
Notify General Colston he must reshape his men.
Now I will urge General Hill to press harder.
We can't stop. Let J. Colston know they will run if we press them.
Yes, sir.
General Hill, you have to keep your troops moving. We must maintain the pressure.
We have broken their wings. We can destroy them if we can cut them.
We don't give them time to get organized.
General, bring your division forward.
Press in the north, move towards the river, towards the Union State.
- We don't let them escape. - It's too late for today, general.
- We cannot estimate. - Boswell!
You're with General Hill. You will find the way through the forest to the northeast.
You will find the back position of the enemy.
Yes, sir.
We will cut them, general!
Those who hide are definitely Federal soldiers.
Sounds heard at night, they may come out.
General, we are outside our line. This is not a place for you, sir.
You're right.
This doesn't work as I wish.
Certainly tomorrow.
Gentlemen, let's go back to the road.
Stop shooting! You shoot your own person!
Wait!
Hold your shot! These are your own people!
Liar! Direct them!
Stop shooting! Stop shooting!
General Hill, they are our people!
What did they do?
Who is this?
Oh, God, general! Are you seriously injured?
I'm scared, I get hit on my shoulder.
And here.
- Take a stretcher. We need a stretcher. Fast! - Yes, Sir.
- We have to leave here, general. - Take this. This will help, sir.
I will try to maintain this from the knowledge of the troops.
Thank you, general.
The Yankee cannon is about a hundred yards. We have to go!
Ready? Lift! Watch Out.
Move. Ready, lift up.
Shoot!
General. Lie down calmly, or you will get killed.
Let's go. Lift!
Move! Ready? Lift!
Doctor, nice to see you.
I'm seriously ill.
I'm afraid I'm dead.
Sir, I want you to drink this.
It's whiskey and morphine.
He lost his left arm. I've lost my rights.
General?
How are you feeling, sir?
Don't worry about me.
But tell me, how do we?
General, the enemy has gone across the river.
We secure high land around Chancellorsville.
General Stuart did it well with you, sir.
And the Stonewall brigade...
... right in the middle of the pack. "Remember Jackson," they shouted.
I hear it all day.
They are fighting for Stonewall.
They are not like that. They are a collection of noble people.
The name Stonewall belongs to the brigade, is not for me.
I have the ball.
Dr. McGuire let me keep the shotgun which he took from your hand.
The surrounding is of fine caliber. One of ours.
I heard that. They think I'm sleeping.
That can't be helped. There is no sin in war.
We all have to forgive.
Pay attention to your steps.
Mrs. Jackson.
So what...
Am I allowed to visit my husband before he is buried?
Buried? He...
geez. Not. This is Frank Paxton's body.
General Paxton sent his body back to Lexington.
Well, I know Mr. Paxton. General Paxton, he's our neighbor.
His wife cried when left.
I think he knows things like this will happen.
Thank you.
I have to cut your husband's left arm , patch his right arm.
Healing is good, I'm very happy. But there is a new problem.
I'm sure he's suffering from pneumonia (pneumonia).
- Can I see it, doctor? - Sure, sure. He is weak.
I've given medicine to help him sleep.
He feels sick and the medicine makes him calm. He is not stable.
General, I have to treat you. Something you might forget.
Other drugs?
Alright, doctor.
Actually this is not my medicine.
But it might make you good.
Very sweet. Too much sugar.
The same problem with my lemonade esposita.
I'm very happy to see you looks so bright.
No. You have to be cheerful.
Don't show longing faces.
You know I like fun and brightness in the sick room.
Esposita.
Esposita-ku.
I know you are happy to give your life for me...
... but I really stopped. Do not be sad.
I hope I can't recover.
Pray for me.
But in your prayers, never forget to say, "Thy will be done."
I'm very glad you were here. Your lemonade is delicious.
- This isn't too sweet. - Too much sugar.
I never told you.
- O, Caesar .. - Hence! Do you appoint Olympus?
Caesar is great...
Doesn't Brutus kneel bare feet?
Talk, calm down, me!
And you, Brutus!
Then Caesar fell.
Liberty! Freedom!
Tyranny is dead!
- Hello, Mrs. Chamberlain. - Hello.
- Thank you for staying. - Thank you.
Please, you have to meet other actors.
Mr. Harrison, Mr. Booth, I introduce _ Colonel Chamberlain and his wife.
I congratulate all of you, on the most moving interpretation.
This is only a game.
We've heard of you, colonel...
... how do you stand on the Rappahannock bridge like Horatius...
... when hundreds of people run around panicking around you.
How can our game compare to what you've seen, what do you do?
Remember, gentlemen, I'm basically not a soldier.
I'm a teacher of rhetoric...
... and my teacher, like yours, is Shakespeare.
And, did you enjoy the show, Mrs. Chamberlain?
Oh. Very.
Mr. Booth, tell me something.
Do you consider yourself a hero or a criminal in a Shakespeare game?
Well, ha, ha....
An actor must always consider himself as a hero, Mrs. Chamberlain...
... even if the role is no more than a simple army that only speaks one line.
Yes. The audience decides what the hero is and the villain.
We only played the part that was given to us.
What do you think about us, Mr. Chamberlain...
... Cinna and Brutus, as a hero or villain?
... the romance of all of them...
... you can't be a criminal in the eyes of Shakespeare...
... even though Dante makes you the worst _ criminal in the world...
... after Judas Iscariot.
No, you're not a criminal for Shakespeare...
... but I wonder, are you a hero?
- Oh. I talk too much. Sorry. - No, no, no.
My beloved husband has been given several days off here...
... and everything about today I'm very happy.
Don't expect me to talk intelligently about your game or whatever.
My eyes, my heart, my whole body dancing uncontrollably with joy...
... on togetherness with the man I love.
Thank you for enriching me with eternal words. thanks.
Come on, Fanny. We have to leave players breaks after their exertion.
Good evening.
A Caesar, Harrison.
A Caesar.
Too young for Caesar. Henry V.
Yes, Henry V.
With that scream, "Once again into violation!"
Oh, yes. Henry V.
Teachers, not soldiers.
And a better actor than one of us.
But he chose the right role in the right game.
He will applaud for a long time after we forget.
What we can do, Harrison, like I said to Mrs. Chamberlain.
What we can do is play the role that is given to us.
If the rhetoric teacher can become a soldier, as well as the actor.
I know for a while I can't continue like this.
And now...
If the cause of the Yankee can shake a man like that...
... then we need everyone we can muster.
Booth, I quit the stage. I have to go.
I hate, I hate the cause.
But if I get killed by a guy like that...
... I consider it an honor.
Yes, sir.
An honor.
You always tend to melodrama, Harrison.
What makes you think you will be a warrior better than an actor?
Stay here.
Your place is here.
Why do we think what we do is not as much as the army does?
We might be mere actors...
... but thinking of words, we help to stay alive.
Who will remember the names...
... general Queen Elizabeth, and politicians?
Who will forget...
... name...
... Shakespeare?
Is that my favorite angel?
my Julia.
Is that certain, doctor?
Does he know?
I haven't told him yet.
Then I will tell him.
He must know.
He must be ready.
♫ Guard us, guide us
♫ Keep us, feed us
♫ For we have no help but thee
♫ Yet possessing every blessing
♫ If we God our father be
My dear...
... today is Sunday.
Do you know what the doctor said are you going to heaven soon?
Do you feel unprepared if God wants you to leave today?
I prefer that.
... when today closes...
... you will be blessed with the Savior in His glory.
I...
I will be very lucky to realize that.
General Lee.
How are you, Pastor?
General Lee, I have to report that the pain is hopeful.
His wound is cured, but he has pneumonia.
Surely General Jackson must recover.
God won't take it, not now we really need it.
Do you want to see it?
No, sir. I am not going to.
When you come back, I believe you will find it better.
And when climbing prayers, tell him that I prayed for him last night...
... because I never prayed, I trusted myself.
Please tell him.
sir.
Press that column.
Destroy that column.
Pendleton, take over that line. Where is Smith?
Tell him. Press that column.
Move the cannon to the center of the peak. Don't waste time.
General Stuart, there is no place for us to break our homes and fireplaces.
General Lee, we have to fight with the enemy.
You are the First Brigade.
Forward, my rebellious children.
Press.
Let's cross the river...
... and the rest under the shade of trees.
Encouraged by their amazing victory at Chancellorsville...
... and try a bold step to end the war,...
... Lee decided to take North Virginia AD in the invasion to the north.
On July 1, 1863, less than two months after Jackson's death,...
... Confederations and federal armies meet in a small city of Pennsylvania...
