Why are we here to interfere with your freedom?

The trilogy of the American Civil War is the first in chronological order. It covers the war before the Battle of Gettysburg, and particularly describes the legendary Southern Army General Stonewall Jackson in detail.
The legendary Colonel Chamberlain of the Northern Army explained the question of the Southern Soldier: Why can't we keep the well water from the river? Why can't we live freely? We must defend our rights. Chamberlain puts it this way: Social systems that claim to protect their own freedom are denying the freedom of others. We can no longer endure the oppression of one group of people on another in our own country. The army is a powerful force. His entire purpose is to dominate others. Because this force is too great, he must not be used rashly or recklessly.

    Stonewall Jackson was the main group, supplemented by Professor Joshua. Jackson spoke about the appeals and emotions of the southern states, "Long live state power, long live freedom." The professor appeared as a northern liberal and made his arguments through newspapers; among them, literature and art Pi's performance is also interesting, viewing the Northerners and Lincoln as Caesar-like tyrants. As a war movie, the scenes and photography are good, but the characters and plot are dull. The protagonist Jackson is too orthodox, but likes to teach some. "But I have to question social systems that claim to protect their own freedom while denying the freedom of others."

    (I saw it in 2014, but I haven't changed it to have watched it. This film is important for understanding the formation of American culture.) I chose the director's cut version of more than 4 hours, and it took many days to watch it. Possibly a documentary on Lee, Jackson, and Chamberlain. Extremely verbose. And spend a lot of effort praising the South, elevating everything to the height of virtue.
