General Grant and Cullen Bohannon

[@Snubrevolver]

This is one of the only times we've seen Bohannon enjoy a good laugh. He is always incredibly stoic.

[@MaryFilkins]

Can I tell 'im???? Great show!! We binged it for 2 weeks before netflix axed it.

I really don’t think Anson gets Enough credit

[@ew1745]

Anson was phenomenal! A true actor.

[@cleverusername9369]

"You renamed Durant's town?" "Yes sir, I did" *most southern laugh ever "Does he know yet?" "No" "Can i tell him?" Beautiful work. It's good to see Cullen finally laugh.

[@kciN1221]

Always loved this scene. To see Cullen loosen up and laugh as he did was heartwarming. Would love to see Durant's expression when Cullen gave him the news on the town's new name lol

[@causti9744]

Bohannon can probably only really talk about shit with people who've fought in the war. Given how the rest of his life went, he surely has some nostalgia for the war, as well as a tendency to drop his guard around old fighters. Even hating some of the things he did, i think him saying that he went to war for glory isn't even a lie, and i think he found it in some way. But he also just seemed to enjoy many aspects of that life over farming. Like with this Sidney Snow, no matter what Cullen ever thought about him, they share quite a few moments. Talking about BBQ, tobacco, shared home, shared ideology, and the last time he wasn't lonely over a long time probably. he was super sensible about talking to the Yankees about his defeats. Which is funny because the only exception is the US president and former General that beat him and his people.

[@HermitagePrepper]

hahaha "Can I tell him?"

My favorite scene in the series, right here.

[@huma474]

Grant was a man who loved America. He wanted Lincolns dream to come true, just didn't have the political nature to do since he was too much a solider like Ike was.

[@boyscouts83712]

01:30 the moment you realize that building the railroad is worth the trouble

[@EmptyMan000]

Not really. Grant wanted to use it to unify the country after the war but the country wouldn't need reunification if they could settle things peacefully. Plus if the future is any indication, it will be for nothing,

[@TheLAGopher]

@@EmptyMan000 It didn't really mean much for the south.But it did kick both the industrialization of the North and the settlement of the west into overdrive by tying California and its Pacific ports into the economy of the North,opening Asia as a market for American goods. The road to the Spanish American War and the beginning of the United States as a world power came out of the trans continental railroad.

[@CUSELİSFAN]

I think that Grant's part in this series is masterfully handled. The hero of the show is a southern ex-soldier who lost his family in the war. Grant is a northern general. They needed to find a way to put these men together with neither of them being the bad guy. The writers walked a very fine line. And they did it beautifully. One of the best scenes in recent TV history IMHO.

[@diegoserrato4801]

This scene is oddly heartwarming

[@craigmills6275]

Man. The dude that played bohannon should have one some serious awards for this series

Well, he was only a Colonel during the Civil War, but later he was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise. ;)

Two opposing soldiers can get along after the fact. And even share laugh.

[@hanswurscht6625]

awesome scene!! "can i tell him?" :D

[@speed150mph]

Can we please give Anson Mount the credit for this scene. I’ve seen actors do sorrow, do solemness, do rage amazingly wells. This here has to be the most natural and convincing display of surprised joy and Giddiness I ever think I’ve seen an actor pull off. I can watch this scene over and over, knowing Anson read this line multiple times on a script, maybe performed it over and over on set, and I can’t find anything in it that betrays the fact that this isn’t the first time Cullen has heard this news and the natural reaction he’d have.

[@67jdvann]

[@causti9744]

I think the producers got a bit confused with the ranks like it often happens in tv, he is said to be a captain of the cavalry but as someone said, Sidney called him colonel.

[@thatguy973]

I’d like to think that something like this happened. To think of two people from two different sides coming together over screwing with someone like Durant who’s as corrupt as a politician satisfies me 😂

[@althesmith]

Senior officers from both sides got together frequently after the war. Joe Johnson and Sherman would frequently be found going over particular battles in Sherman's library using stacks of books to represent hills, etc.

[@Kevinpotocki]

Crazy to think that Grant would have most likely treated a former Confederate like Cullen exactly like that. His magnanimity in victory and desire for peace are criminally not as well known nowadays

“Not beaten yet, not by a damn site.” Grant at Shiloh, 1862.

[@petrolheadgames92]

@@SnapSuplexSeanVA I have been unable to verify this Shiloh quote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me your source. I can say that it is well documented that Grant did not use profanity. His secretary, Horace Porter, ask him about this once. Grant replied "...I never learned to swear. When a boy I seemed to have an aversion to it, and when I became a man, I saw the folly of it. ...swearing helps rouse a man's anger; and when a man flies into a passion, his adversary who keeps cool, always get the better of him. [Swearing] is a great waste of time." Though I could see how he might let it slip in the heat of battle. I know I would in that situation.

[@leavemealoneyoutube1707]

He also would never be seen with a bottle out in the open like that. Whenever Grant fell off the wagon it was in private.

Great scene, except for the ignorance of Grant's pseudo-legendary aversion to ever cursing. He was kinda known for not doing so.

[@TheAttlier]

Favorite lines of the shows, shows two guys that fought on opposing side that a literally 2 peas in the same pod... Only reason America went to war within itself wasn't to abolish slavery... it was just a huge power grab of a bunch of old men who felt they didn't need to listen to the president... slavery was one of the problems that caused the war, but too say the civil war was over slavery is bs. It was about the power hungry elite in America shaking up the power struggle because they wanted more... Every war is fought for religion, greed or power... Civil war was fought for power and greed because the states in the USA had to much power over their own state and couldn't be interfered with at the federal level. So break out into a civil war(under the guise of freeing slaves a morally right objective) sadly they just wanted to enslave the whole populace in a different manner. For every action there is a reaction and the government knows this... so the action of war the reaction is war is bad... But we are freeing the slaves so the reaction is worth the action? wrong just an illusion painted by the puppet master.

[@Line...]

Can't really see Grant swearing, at least not so casually. Just not his style

[@bjornjoseph]

The ending was so rushed. When they kill off regular cast, reduce screen time of regular cast for other people its going down hill. Durant was shady but that was his character. For Cullen to swap sides was shitty

[@bigchief70]

Idk, Cullen didn't really have a side. He just wanted to make sure he finished the railroad and was the first to the finish line if possible.

Bohannon and Grant are soldiers, they simply did a job and earn or given different titles of status during the war, and when it was over they shared a drink and smoke and talk shit how they wish they took each other out... Not out of hate or anything else, to them it was just a job. Grant trusted Bohannon to build the railroad cause it was real battle than a suited fat cat, true hardship, survival on the terrain with no sense of ambition and greed. The real reward was that finishing the rail road was itself reward being part of legacy of history.
