Born raised just bout hour and a half from where Jackson was born raised clarksburg wv back then it was still Virginia. Greatest war of northern aggression movies. Showed the type truth of what kind of man Thomas Johnathan Jackson was. A god fearing christian man that hated war hated slavory but also understood his duty to not only to his friends family state but also what he figuredwashis calling duty to god.

By modern standards this movie is slow and uneventful. Its of no fault of the actors Steven Lang and Jeff Daniels gave outstanding performances. Lang's portrayal of General Jackson was spot on. This movie was in serous need of a better director and a skillful editor. This is a fine movie to watch if you like a slow paced three and a half hour drama about the civil war such as Gone With the Wind. But if your a person who came up in the time of the Marvel comic book movie culture you will not enjoy style.

This is a story about people who, for right or wrong, had a profound love of their nation. So much so that they made it their personal responsibility to endure a war that was fought face to face. Those horrors and hardships go beyond any C.G.I. movie's or books or confessions , to describe or demonstrate. If we are to avoid such catastrophic events we had better lern and understand as much about them as we can. All who fought in that catastrophic war are heroes.
