This movie is historically inaccurate. Newt Knight and his band attacked both confederate and union troops who entered their area in Sullivan's Hollow, Jones county, MS because both armies raided for supplies. Both union and confederate leaders would even give guns to their POWs when they were going through Newt's domain. Also, he bought Rachel to care for his young son when his wife died. Rachel was so loyal to him because she had a young child too and when the slave auction people tried to take her child from her because it was a common practice to do so in that day, Newt told them to stop that he would take the child too because she could care for two children as easily as one.
This doesn’t match what I’ve read. All reports during the war tell of him and his men fighting solely against the confederates and professing loyalty to the Union army. He also never bought Rachel. She was a slave of his grandfather and assisted him during his rebellion. After the war he married her after separating from his wife
From the beginning of the war , wealthy northerners paid a small amount for replacement soldiers. Many were immigrants from Germany and Ireland. There were entire Regiments that spoke only Gaelic or German.

Can we both agree that the SOUTH was the more immoral side because they were certainly more pro-slavery? Can we? Can we agree that the Bible is immoral because it fully approves of slavery - the main reason why Christians in the south were ok with slavery?

The parties switched names. The republican party was the now democrats back then. While the democrats were the now republicans back then. just google it up about the switch. It's confusing but hopefully this would help you. (:
@@jeroen7366 yeah look up the southern strategy to understand why. Long story short FDR began the gradual shift of party away from the southern dixiecrats who made up its core. Once Lydon B starting helping civil rights activists marginally more they left the party and the Republicans who had lost elections for decades at that point shifted its strategem to scoop up those southern white votes with "dogwhistles" agaisnt minorities especially AA. Nixon n Reagan really oversaw the offical "switch" more so Reagan who won 49 states after going to the murder site of civil rights activists n spoke about states right a clear dogwhistle 🐕 Thus Republican Party as we know it today came into being.
The Civil War is one of my favorite time periods, and this film is has a lot of historical accuracy. But, this film commits the cardinal sin: IT'S BORING! And the editing is atrocious in some parts. Like, cutting back and forth to the trial scene is stupid, that should have been completely in the epilogue. And the black and white stills... why?? This isn't a documentary. I hate to say it, but they should have tweaked the film to lead up to a massive battle between the Jones militia and the regiment.
IT'S BORING welcome to the real world and real history remember your comments about this being boring the next time you complain about a movie being INACCURAT but entertaining to watch
This movie is a testimony that the democratics have been Criminals since 1865 , and that's the reason that they need to be held accountable for the crime's against civilians of the US.

Lmao, you can't be serious. While most Southern seccesionist states secceeded because of slavery, the war was not fought over slavery but about the issue of whether seccession was legal or not. None of the Northerners cared for the slaves and during Reconstruction most of them regreted the liberation of slaves because they moved North, lol.
@zoldy not entirely true. Most former slaves directly after the civil war did not go north after the civil war. They stayed on their plantations and worked for basically room and board. Almost all former slaves were illiterate and had no money, they couldn’t just go north and find a job as simply as you suggest.
@@halorecon95 The South seceded because they wanted to keep their slave-owning ways. The war was fought over slavery, you’re just trying to obfuscate it.
@@cbadshew The war was fought over the Seccession of the Southern states, not because they were slave states. Reminder that Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky, all slave states, remained on the Union's side and that Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina only secceeded after the Union marched south to bring the Southern states back into the Union.
Hollywood has a poor record of accurately portraying historical characters. This movie is a prime example. Newt Knight was a murderer and a thief, plain and simple. There is nothing about him the was gallant or heroic.
Ah yes, the man that rescued slaves after the war ended as a US Marshal and served as a colonel of a regiment dedicated to protecting against white insurgent violence was the bad guy.
This reminds me how the past years people cry systemic racism but..the Democratic party then was the racist group and today I dont see them getting cancel 😝
When Democrats were the conservative party! Now the Republicans are the racists! By the way I grew up in the civil rights era when the Dixiecrats got forced out of the Democrat party so they went GOP! So. you need to go back to school! Used to be American history and government were required to graduate now you have nothing but WHITE cleansing of history for their European Christian Colonial Nationalism since they CRY!

"40 acres and a mule" promise was made I believe by Gen. Sherman, who had no authority to make any promises!
Kind of like how Roosevelt promised Stalin that after ww2 he could have parts of eastern Europe, something he had no authority or position to offer.
