I enjoyed seeing the film after all the long hours, so many of us put into working this production. This being my first film job of any kind in 2015. Director Gary Ross, Matthew & many others. The professionalism & kindness on set gave me a new direction in life. Since I have continued to work multiple productions, big or small, background, supporting, lead roles. In hopes that as time passes I once more get to work with Matthew, Gary Ross, Garret Warren & others on the journey ahead.

Stayed pretty busy, until 2018 had to pull back due to divorce & getting full custody of both kids. Finally, after 3 years, working as a Plant Manager & Field Supervisor, laid off August 2021 due to needing surgery. My oldest is graduating, the other is of age to manage, so they both told me it was time to go back to doing what I enjoyed most. December 2021, I got my foot back in the door with Emancipation - Will Smith, just got off of another set last week, working on rebuilding connections, & hope to become as busy as before working towards that major breakout role. Not all dreams are easy, & I've learned that, but every major actor I've had the pleasure to working with & speaking with have all told me never give up. I can't give up on life, therefor there is no reason to give up on my dreams. In time I really believe my name & skills as an actor will be out there for so many to enjoy or hate depending on the character. Best wishes to everyone.

That's a hell of a ride you've had. Much respect for "putting family first", you had your priorities in order. I just had a little boy, my first, at 35 and the mother and I are separating... so I relate to you there as well. Hard to have much hope these days, it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm looking at having to give up my book, videos and woodworking just to be able to survive. I just hope I can find some calm and stability soon so I don't wind up looking back and wondering where all the time went. Anyway, enough debbie downer, I'm glad to hear you got back into doing what you love. Amazing to reestablish all those connections and it sounds like you have some pretty good drinking stories to tell. Keep doing YOU.

Which part did you find over exaggerated? The south command knew they didnt have the resources to fight a war and keep the people happy. And since the high command were all slave owners who thought the poor of the south were just above slaves themselves, they gave the order the seize all the supplies they could find. And they couldnt get locals to rob their families and friends, so they would conscript all the men in a town that could hold a gun and after they left they sent in men who were... Lets say not the best, to take everything they could for the army. And these men did horrible things.... Esp to young women.

[@thomasgentry9624]

@williamcortelyou9072 Correct, but also very incorrect. At the start of the Civil War, both armies had it pretty good. Not every Southern General was a slave owner, some owned a few, some owned more, some owned zero. I don't know where you get these generalities from. The south didn't have the resources. True statement. But most battles were fought in the south. What happens when you have 50,000, or 100,000 men, both sides, being rationed hard tac and salt pork? And you are marching through farm land? Are you going to eat the crackers that break your teeth, with the pork cured in salt? Or go to that farm over there that has a fresh cow, or pig, or chickens? Both sides foraged off of the citizens. It was way more devastating to small farmers. Sherman left Atlanta, his supply base, and marched to the sea. With no way of getting supplies. How do you feed 80,000 men, everyday, without train loads of food? You rob everyone and everything. Both sides did this. Stop making this a one sided argument, when everyone did it

During the civil war for both north and south what was the minimum age to join the military?

[@johnnysunday402]

I don't believe there really was any age standard. The whole idea of children being excluded from military service is a relatively new concept. I do know that during the civil war both sides had child 'non-combatants' in various support roles: Field kitchen, stable hands, drummers, fifes, ect. They would be dismissed before the unit entered combat. In at least two instances young boys (12-16) associated with military schools were put into battle as reserves, but ended up as front line combatants. Only in the last century have modern armies created age requirements. There is a litteral translation as to the origin of the word "Infantry", and historically boys filled the ranks of armies. In some places they still do.
