@@Shatamx Not at all! This looking away is perfectly consistent with his character. He does indeed love the ladies, but he considers looking at them because they're attractive to be sinful, so he avoids looking. Similarly, he loved alcohol, but he thought drinking to be sinful, so he avoided that also.

[@derps8690]

@@bearboy879 (long tangent, sorry in advance) i have always had a really negative view of the whole "not all were bad!" counter-argument. sure, not all southerners owned slaves... but here's the thing: the ones who *DID* were the ones in charge. they were calling the shots. they were the ones recruiting those poor, southern farmers, giving them rifles/uniforms, and sending them off to fight for them... and they made it clear what they were fighting for. it doesn't matter if not all southerners fought for slavery (which in itself is a silly argument because we have literally thousands upon thousands of first hand accounts from the average confederate soldier themselves where they distinctly say that they're aware that they're fighting to preserve slavery), because the ones who made the decisions were, and they preached louder than everyone else. i don't really care if it wasn't all of them, because the ones who did caused significant damage to the nation. the fact of the matter is, the confederacy shouldn't be glorified, period... and i don't want to hear their side, because for the last century they *DID* tell their side, and they made sure to spread as much disinformation as to what the cause of the war was as humanly possible. we have statues, not to commemorate the soldier itself, but to commemorate the confederacy as a whole. they aren't statues of robert e. lee the virginian, or robert e. lee the president of west point... they're statues of robert e. lee the *confederate general.* they honour the cause. we have movies, such as gods and generals, that blatantly spreads common misinformation about what the southern cause was and intentionally omits just how much slavery played a role, and glorify the confederate army as this unstoppable juggernaut that couldn't lose, how jackson was this martyred soul amazing general despite being unironically one of the worst defensive generals of the war... the list goes on... not to mention that the movie in general is so slow paced and the script is utter trash on its own, but i digress. movies like this should never be made again.

[@bearboy879]

​@@derps8690 Firstly, the north wasn't clean either. They were horrible for their treatment of black people too. They were also racist. I never said the south wasn't racist, my point was its nice to see any other movies than the usual ones that glorify the north. Don't get the wrong. i LOVE civil war movies (almost all glorification the north, for good reason). Movies such as Glory, Gettysburg and Free State Of Jones to name a few popular ones. My point was simply so state that there is ALWAYS 2 sides. An example is Japan during the second world war which was so brutal for its treatment of everyone else non-Japanese, same with Russians and Germans at the time. Its nice to see movies that bring history of the losing side, or the unpopular side as the usual movies are the opposite and have been seen 100s of times. My point is not to state that the movie is historically accurate (it inst). But its to state that every side in war has to have their perspective shown.

[@derps8690]

@@bearboy879 "Firstly, the north wasn't clean either" ...is another *completely* irrelevant argument that i hate seeing when talking about the civil war. so what if they weren't clean? black people were treated badly in the north in certain areas... that's a fact, and one that nobody denies. most historians are keenly aware that the anti-slavery position of the north wasn't one of genuine sympathy towards black people, but an outrage at the institution itself. the reality, at the end of the day, is that the south were the ones who declared that they were fighting specifically to preserve and expand the institution of slavery, and the actions of former confederates who returned to their positions after the war as a result of the complete and utter incompetence in handling the reconstruction era from the johnson administration (who were southern democrats, by the way) and the absolute horror they inflicted on former freedmen is not even comparable to black people being mistreated up north, but yet again, i digress. i understand fully that there are two sides to every story... but here's the thing: this specific movie in general doesn't tell the southern side. it tells the *lost cause* side... and gettysburg does the same to an extent. in this movie, practically every black character sides with the south, and they're treated as members of the family. the southern soldiers are talking "round the camp" about how black people should be free, and these black cooks are treated friendly and laugh alongside the white soldiers... whereas the union is the only side that uses a racial slur. it intentionally omits slavery as being a cause, and practically every single speech goes on and on about the glorious struggle and how it's all about southern/state rights, how the north are the aggressors (despite the south firing the first shots of the war after literal months of seizing federal armouries/state buildings, in some cases even before said state had actually seceded), how they *must* fight to preserve their "way of life" and that if they don't it'll be the triumph of "the evil banks and factories." again, the list goes on. i do agree with you for glory, because at least in glory, it tells the full story and doesn't make the union look like a black loving paradise. the coloured troops in glory, initially, are spat on, laughed at, called slurs, etc, including by their fellow white soldiers, because *that's* how it would've gone down in real life. it specifically highlights the discrimination the 54th massachussets faced in the north and doesn't shy away from the issue that tripp, one of the main characters (and unironically one of my favourite characters played by mr. denzel washington), brings up by saying "even if we win this war, life for us won't change. we're still just going to be seen as monkeys." it doesn't shy away from criticizing the north. the same cannot be said for god's and generals. this movie doesn't criticize the south in the slightest, and it props up nearly every single lost cause stereotype about the confederacy to make it seem like it wasn't really that bad. it tries to get you to sympathize with the confederate soldier, to understand his struggle, whilst intentionally omitting exactly what his struggle is.

Well… I’m a southerner with two great-great southern grandfathers that fought on both sides of that mess. A southern private in the Alabama infantry, killed in action in 1864, left behind a widow and three orphans. Also a Union First Sergeant in the Union Arkansas Calvary, who survived. These guys had tough choices to make. I heard the stories. Sobering. But…. This song is far and above my favorite of both sides of the conflict. It expresses how they they felt about the war then, and many of us still feel as southerners. It’s a great song. I hate this war. Four years of death and destruction. Homes and farms burned. A generation of young men killed and maimed. Total, total war, similar to what was seen in World War II. It took the south 100 years to recover. Today? This is ancient history, at least for most of us.

[@Marcfj]

Dogwood Services Inc - I'm a native Californian but on my maternal grandmother's side I am from a long long long line of Southerners going back to 1649. Anyway, my great-great-grandfather, Benjamin H. Bounds, was with the 4th Mississippi Infantry Regiment Company F "Sons of the South" during the Civil War. He was captured at Fort Donelson and exchanged, captured again at Vicksburg in 1863 and imprisoned at Fort Delaware and exchanged, and was captured again in 1865 at Fort Blakeley after bitter hand to hand fighting there. He wrote that colored Union troops committed atrocities on Confederate soldiers who had already surrendered and been disarmed. In fact, a white Union officer saved my great-great-grandfather's life by whacking a black Union soldier over the head with the butt of his revolver who was about to shoot my great-great-grandfather. Anyway, Benjamin and his fellow confederates who surrendered at Fort Blakeley were imprisoned for a short while on Ship island in the Gulf.

[@doctorditman]

@@Marcfj I'm suppossing that the "colored" troops were fairly upset by their treatment on the forced labor farms (plantations) where a married man, his wife, and three children, for example, could be sold on their owner's say so to 5 different and far apart owners. In addition whenever the owner felt so inclined, he could demand the female partner be brought to him for sex (rape). In many constitutions of the southern states it clearly states that the negro race was wholly unequal to the white man and therefore not subject to any law other than that governing property. I think living under those and worse conditions would get the best of us fairly "riled up with hot blood" against those that would oppress us. Soldiers who fought for the south and especially the officers who took an oath to defend the United States and its Constitution and who were trained at West Point were traitors of the worst sort (yes, especially Brer Robert who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the United States Army). That's right. They did not fight and kill "Union troops." They fought and killed soldiers of the United States Army exactly the same as did German and Japanese soldiers in World War II. The Dred Scott decision by the SCOTUS in 1857 as well as the over 100 years of Jim Crow laws and continued "Lost Cause" thinking shows that some of actions of "Colored Troops" was certainly understandable, if not justifiable.

There are two possible moral instances, divine morals are objective and exist, justified by divinity, or humans are evolved creatures and morals are eugenically hyper beneficial social behaviors and impulses ingrained at a basic level. Most moralistic philosophers are avoiding both of these instances. They play with the idea of secular vs divine morality, but none of them discuss the implications of secular morality essentially refuting liberalism, really anything beyond stone age animal behavior is irrational/immoral as humans are just stone age animals. Religious morals tend also to refute liberalism. I bring up liberalism because near all moral thinkers of our time are secular liberals trying to find a way to cope about being in essence wrong, but still wanting to live the way they live. often these people have no children, which is a further refutation of their secular morality as secular morality being ingrained in genes, if the moralistic thinkers perish without children, their morals die too.

Are you familiar with his quirky "teaching" style? Before the war, he was an Artillery instructor at VMI (Virginia Military Institute). The night before, he would prepare and memorize his lecture, word for word. Then deliver it in a monotone recitation. If any student asked for clarification on some point, Jackson would simply "re-wind" like a tape. And play it back again ... word for word. As if that helps. He must have been almost as bad as many of today's college professors.

Many Irish fought for the Confederacy. In their homeland they were also invaded by an enemy that destroyed their homes and sought to subjugate them.

[@WilliamRing45]

@@cards0486 nonsense. Many more Irish immigrants fought for the Union, because many more Irish and other European immigrants came to the North rather than two the South during the nineteenth century. The North, in 1861, was already far more ethnically diverse than the South, which had sunk i.to the lethargy of a biracial caste system. Let's also not forget, Scarlett Katie O'Hara, that the South was not particularly hospitable to Catholics. Although homes might incidentally have been burned especially when Union armies cut away from their supply lines (Sherman), the Confederate commissary exacted far more devastating and consistent depredations against their supposed own citizens. Subjugation? Who was more subjugated than four million slaves liberated by the actions of Union forces? The true "subjugators" lost until that part of Union victory was tossed aside after 1877.

[@djcogdill9263]

@@WilliamRing45 You do know that Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey all had slaves during the Civil War, right? Maryland was the only one of the four to get rid of it before the end of it. Hell, there was a Union general who went to Missouri close to the beginning of the war and freed the slaves and Lincoln himself forced the slaves to go back to their masters because he thought that'd encourage Missouri to secede and join the Confederacy. The Union didn't give a damn about slavery. They wanted to keep the Union together.

Fun Fact: It was Russia who saved The Union during the American Civil War as they sent their Navy to San Francisco and New York when England and France were just about to enter the war on the side of the Confederates since London created the Confederates. France was already in Mexico making a spear head movement to resupply the Confederates and to open up a Pacific Theatre and create a port in California. England already amassed 11,000 troops stationed at their Northern Confederacies border now called Canada ready to open a Northern Theatre then to attack The Unions naval blockade. The Union would have been completely destroyed and annexed by those two great powers leaving the Confederates to exist as a puppet state of London. Tsar Alexander wrote a letter to Queen Victoria saying “If you enter in this war it will be a casus belli for all out war with the Russian Empire”. The stage was set for the 1st World War and Russia stopped it.
