Some background about this video

Part of the reason why I love this movie is that it affects my southern love for the United States.
The Civil War is over. The Southern Army colonel played by Nissen was sent home. The Northern Army captain played by Pierce came to interrogate his troops. Pierce asked your subordinates. Nissen said I let them go home; Pierce asked the artillery. Nissen said he stayed at ATLANTA. In the end, the North's hatred of the South led to the destruction of the Nissen family-the house was burned down, his wife and children were buried in flames. Since then, the two have forged a bloody feud, one is the northern army captain and the other is the former southern army colonel. This is the background of this film.
When I was studying "A Survey of Britain and the United States," I read that after the American Civil War, the entire South was completely destroyed. The victorious North sent a large number of military and political personnel to take over the southern states and launched a "reconstruction" policy, but the so-called "reconstruction" policy In essence, it is the persecution of those who participated in the rebellion in the former South. Those southerners who have sympathized, supported, and participated in the rebellion are generally suppressed and persecuted. The ten-year "reconstruction" period not only failed to rebuild the South, but made the South more decayed, so that the South will not be able to recover in the next few decades. So far, the South has always lagged behind the North.
This period of history has made me feel a lot of emotions, that is, since then, I have developed a feeling for the American South, and always have a special concern and favor for the South, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas... …In
a civil war, two opposing regimes fight each other desperately. In the end, one side will win and the other will lose. The war is fierce and incompatible. When the victorious party finally gains power, how can it spare the other party? ! This is the case with the American Civil War, and for a Chinese, he is not unfamiliar with this situation. Think about how the Communist Party treated the former Kuomintang members after 1949, and you will find that "the winner is the king and the loser" is an absolute law, which is the same both at home and abroad.
Finally, back to the American Civil War. Things in the world are all linked together, linked by cause and effect. Cowboy culture is a very distinctive feature in American history, and its origin is also related to the Civil War. After the civil war, southern soldiers were deported home, but were severely persecuted. Many of them were forced to go to the deserted west and were employed by people to look after sheep and cattle, and became the source of cowboys.
