Captain Fitzhugh Lee, Robert E. LEES nephew rose to Major General in the confederacy then years later was recalled to duty in the US Army as a Major General during the Spanish American wat.

If there's one thing we need its more movies about the US and Confederate Marines that served during the Civil War. This is the only movie thats ever depicted them and only for a few brief moments.

No honour in slavery. God save the union.

One of my favorite moments in the movie. After learning that this scene was not scripted it became even more special. I'm not a history expert but I appreciate the history of this country and how it came to be. And this scene always makes me choke up!

For Alba, Erin and Dixie!

These are the codes of manhood.

What a great musical score.

Hey kid, take a hit of this blunt before you go, this is some good ish

rebs are real patriots they knew it was suicide or win it all they stil formed up to keep old america

Can’t even imagine what was going through Martin Sheen’s mind as he was greeted by all the reenactors. This scene alone shows why so many men on both sides of the war had great respect for General Lee and why he was viewed as the most beloved General.

Stephen Lang IS Thomas J. Jackson. His portrayal is far and away the most accurate part of this film

God bless all people that fought for the southern cause and for the secession of the south. This hopeless is still alive for many people of Virginia, Tennesse, Alabama ecc.

We go again ..... gol 2017 27th 2023 32nd .... what next ..

Love Martin Shean as General Lee he should have won an Oscar.

Johnny Reb , Billy Yank! ❤. Semper Fidalis, USMC.

Unless America goes back to the faith of their forefathers, the Anglo Saxon protestant faith, this nation is doomed.

The tracking shot of the Calvary is the best shot in the film. Needs to be talked about more.

Not a single word spoken, and yet it is one of the most powerful scenes in the movie.

Too bad their flag has been tainted with race hatred! Otherwise, it would be cool1

This scene gets you in the feels everytime...

Surreal

They were not in the union they had left the union

If Stonewall didn't fall, this was would have ended very differently.

must be best ever movie unscripted scene ever

1861, the US would face the greatest fighting force the world has ever known or will know; Southrons.

Girls recess: talking Boys recess: 1:34

Deo vindice brothers and sisters

This scene always stirs my heart.............

This is called "Honor".

Can't think of a better way to ever die & take my last few breaths than having Clint Eastwood standing over me comforting me with his jacket & his cigar especially after fighting bravely in battle ❤

I could not imagine being in that position. Having to choose between my state and my Union. They made their choice with honor.

I cry every single time .. i see this part !

"Would charge hell itself for that old man." - unnamed Confederate soldier.

Losers 😂

Actions speak louder than words in this memorable scene and throughout this movie. Thanks for uploading this clip:)

I can't begin to imagine how it must have felt being Sheen that day, receiving such a reception that wasn't in the script. Very powerful

Blondie didn't know his name, where he lived, or if he has any family, all he knew was that this young soldier was in pain, dying and scared. Being there to keep him company, giving him his coat, and sharing a cigar was all that Blondie could do and maybe that was enough for the soldier to know he was cared for at the end.

General Estevez from Galicia, Spain😂😂😂😂100%Yank

No american soldier rode in an english saddle in The Civil War both sides had M1859 Mclellan saddles. Lee never in his life would have rode in an english saddle so why is he on one in this stupid show lol

This film simply would not have happened without the dedication and passion of the thousands of volunteer reenactors (some who literally brought their own cannons) and man, just what a cool scene for them to have created

I was in this scene. It was not planned or part of the script, but a spontaneous reaction of the cast seeing Lee. The director on the set instantly called for a camera to film it. You can see how moved Martin Sheen was by the reaction he received.

I have learned that true compassion is rare.

I have watched horror movies my entire life. But when you think about the context of what is happening in this scene, West Point splitting apart, the country splitting apart, I what to scream...Don't You Know What This Means?!! Politicians on both sides, Sit Down! Stop for God's Sake. It is the saddest moment in any motion picture. It makes me cringe. Band Leader sound Dixie. 600,000 men gone.

God bless the south

Yell like furries!!!

This is such a bad-faith portrayal of Lee and in fact the whole retarded war lol. He DIDN'T HAVE A SOUTHERN ACCENT ffs (amongst other sad and confusing spins people like to put on things). So dumb.

Over one million people attended Grant's funeral including General Johnston. "Let there be peace" on his tomb. Lee was lucky that Grant paroled him.
