@@Vipre- Do you really think the confederacy, that was hyper desperate for men during the entire war, wouldn't notice the guy responsible for bringing deserters in missing?
I think Matthew has the widest range of any actor on the silver screen. From cologne and car commercials to Free state of Jones. From lawyer to farmers to an Uber rich businessman. My favorite actor of all times, his voice is so calming and soothing like Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, Vincent Price, Holly Hunter, and Jeremy Irons, to name a few. These are more of my favorite actors. Their voices help me to be calm and relaxed. But like I said before, these are MY favorites.
The problem is that even if he shoots the officer, he will still die to the other men. The only barganing in this was that neither man wanted to die here. The officer can't push further or he'll be shot, but he can count on being let leave by the other man's own desire to live.
@@WarhawkTalon by my count it's 3 little girls, one woman and one man, guns raised vs. 4 men (the leader at point blank range), guns holstered. I'm not saying it's no risk at all, especially with the little ones in play, but he had the drop on them. Unless his intent is to flee once the soldiers leave (unlikely, given the nature of the movie), seems to me like the best bet is to go for it now. If those soldiers get to leave and come back, they're coming back prepared and with at least double the numbers.
When out numbered and children involved you allow them to leave in a peaceful manner and when they leave you get your kids safe and prepare yourself to do anything possible to end the threat
@@user-tq6ve1gi7c you're probably right, but the way I'm thinking, he wouldn't be surviving the next encounter irl, especially not alone.

My great grandmother was born in 1854 and lived to be 100. I was 9 years old when she died. She told me a lot of stories. The only one I remember is that the "Home Guard" came to their farm in North Georgia, and she and her sister hid in the barn with a few ears of corn so scoundrels wouldn't take it.
They came to my Great Grandmothers home in Arkansas looking for my Preacher Great Grandfather but he was in Missouri. Her adult male cousin was there helping her slaughter a pig. They hung him on a tree in the yard, made her cook them a meal, dragged her outside and made her 8 Mo. pregnant self sit on a tree stump then proceeded to burn the house down while she watched.

There are definitely issues regarding Women in War. Periods, cramps, pregnancy, etc... The lack of physical strength... just the physical requirements placed on a soldier in general. But that doesn't mean we can't shoot. I shot my first deer at 4yrs old. Learned how to use, care for, shoot and carry a gun at Age 2. There are pictures of me all decked out in camo coveralls, hunting with my Mom and Dad of every age (up to 15). My Grandaddy gave me his childhood gun, a 4-10 for my 8th birthday. I'm looking at it right now. So I taught my kids from birth how to respect guns and not touch unless they were actually intending to use them. But I also satisfied their curiosity by letting them shoot in the yard whenever they wanted. The novelty wore off - just like it would with any kid - and they were so adept and skilled that I no longer even had to worry at all. All this before they were 6, 7, 8 years old.

We'll be back means you need time to plan and gather more men to hurt me and mine, so this takes it to a point where you aren't coming back because I'm not letting you leave.
Everyone is saying "Yeah when he said we'll be back, I'd have shot him" but you are not realising that he was bluffing. He was outnumbered and outgunned, but he made it appear as though he had superior firepower and positions. He didn't WANT a fight. He knew that a fight would've likely resulted in his loss. Easier to just let the dude leave and figure out a solution for the next encounter than go down in a hail of bullets for nothing.
Which he did do. He knew all he had were women and children, if he had been killed, he was quite aware what would happen to those people. No one seems to understand that, in these comments.
@dianenecaise1776 A lot of wannabe-cowboy macho men playing up their violent justice fantasies. What else can you expect of people who're conditioned, even by law in many cases (for the US specifically), to shoot first and ask questions later? One cannot think when one doesn't ask questions.
@@manicboy76 have you seen the movie? Its basically about how a group of confederate deserters - aided by family amd escaped slaves - established the ‘free state of jones’ (except it was just a county). The firefight that followed this scene was deserters and some of their female relatives.
Kind of like Inman pursued and killed the last renegade home guard in the movie 'Cold Mountain' so he would not have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.
Some would say if a man tells you he’s coming back to get you the best course of action is to make certain he never leaves. IMO that would cut the movie short but save you a helluva lotta grief later on.
To everybody who said "I wouldn't have let them leave"... dude was BLUFFING. I mean, sure, if he really had people stationed in the house with guns, the family would have probably won although everybody outside would have probably died... but he _didn't._ It was really only the four of them outside. His family had old style rifles, not repeaters, and only one of them was aiming properly. He had a double barreled shotgun. They were facing at least four trained soldiers with superior weaponry, one of whom was on horseback. It would have been a bad time to attack, they would have probably lost. Sometimes you have to allow them to come back so you can set up a proper ambush. The most important thing is to control the time and place of the fight. If you don't actually have the advantage and your objective is to preserve your people, you _should_ avoid the fight at that time.
Its amazing how many people have said that "we'll be back" would have sealed his immediate trip to the other side. I 100% agree and love how dark you all are 😈.
The mistake made here was, that when he said “We’ll be back”, the shooting didn’t start. You just had a threat made and they are coming back to enforce that threat in greater numbers.
@@nk-dw2hmno the soldiers had the advantage. Those girls and the woman had single shot rifles, not repeaters. Firing a weapon accurately under pressure is difficult, thats why a military training is so important. So those girls would be unlikely to hit anyone. The cavalry likely had cap and ball revolvers so each of them has 6 shots. So yeah, guy could have killed the officer but then he would have definetly lost some of his family in that fight.
@@28Hazefur there were like 4 soldiers, and you don't think the man, his wife, and 2 daughters who already had their weapons out and aimed couldn't kill them? The soldiers also had no reason to believe the other guns weren't manned so they were of the belief that they had a 0% survival chance. Since we know he was bluffing, sure a soldier or two might survive the first volley, then you better hope the man defending his family doesn't have a revolver, a knife, or literally any other weapon, and that he isn't able to get to the body of the dead soldier that'd be just a few feet away from him and has firearms.
Yeah the number if soldiers there did not bode well, even if they werent ready for a fight. If they each aimed at a different soldier and opened fire at the same time they'd probably have it, but otherwise there would be casualties.
If ALL men were like this, the "powers that be" would have to find an alternative to war. The BEST way to protect your family, is to be with your family; I don't care what the governments say.
Those principled souls that fought in that Civil War helped secure our needed freedoms of this nation's oppressed humanity. Without them, we would not be who we are now.
Sadly we are getting pretty close to it again. No matter where you go someone makes a Trump or Biden comment and all civility goes out the window. We have people saying to abolish the court because they are not getting their way. This is how civil wars start.
Indeed 😊 It reminds the farm inspector who pulled a badge stating his federal authority set no boundaries to his inspection. After yelled by the farmer to show his badge to the raging bull after his steps, when initially warned not access certain area... 😂😂😂
I love seeing this movie get some recognition! I’m from the county this movie is based on and it was so cool when I learned we were getting a movie about this small little place!
Those that never went into harm's way during the war, I.E. the Home Guard and weasels like this were pretty much universally despised. Way too many of them turned into scum that bullied and abused while better men were actually in the fight. I understand that when the war was over and the actual fighting men came home, a lot of accounts were settled.
You're seeing this play out right now in Ukraine, the military commissars kidnapping men to force them into the army fighting at the front, beating women who record them, and taking bribes to avoid conscripting those who can afford to pay.
.... If there were any survivors left to settle those accounts. The Sort of thing you see at the beginning of the outlaw Josey Wales happened all over the Unionist territory in the south
Such as Captain Teague in the movie 'Cold Mountain'. There actually was a Captain Teague in North Carolina who led a band of thugs that pursued draft dodgers and deserters from the Confederate Army. 'Cold Mountain' is a fictional movie portraying the actual atrocities by the Home Guards in the mountains of western North Carolina during the American Civil War. I recommend the non-fiction book 'Rebels In Blue' about Keith and Malinda Blalock (if you have not read it already).
@alexG106 Yup! Pretty fcked up! Ukraine are not the good guys... They have always been super corrupt and were used by the worst US politicians to launder money, hell Joe biden bragged about shutting down an investigation into his family's illegal bribery, extortion, and money laundering ring and getting the lead prosecutor fired!... What's arguably even worse is all the foreign aid we've been sending them so far about 90% of it has "gone missing" and miraculously Ukrainian elites and their US politician friends have had the largest "anonymous donations" in history right after each payment and coincidentally Ukraine now has the largest amount of registered yachts and super yachts docked in Florida, California, and the Bahamas.. Ironically even with Ukraine admitting all of this, including the fact that 90% of the money donated isn't making it to the war effort or people, "certain" US politicians are fighting tooth and nail to stop any conversation about requiring an audit on the foreign aid!.... Gee, I wonder why that could be?!.....😂 They don't even try to hide it anymore and some people are still dumb enough to believe them!...😮💨
An old family story. (This was in west Tennessee from the details I’ve gathered, might’ve lived around the land between the lakes area) In the civil war my great great (etc you get the idea) grandfather had a farm next to some folks who settled down way long before they got there. The neighbor boys (2 in their late teens) were out doing chores one day when union soldiers arrived at the front of the farm and put the two boy’s heads on pikes for the farmer to see. This man wasn’t of military fighting age but he took his rifle and would set up on the banks of the Mississippi taking pot-shots at union troops on barges. Can’t substantiate the story, just been passed down for generations, all that to say. If someone makes a threat against you or your family, be sure you’re the first to cash in on that threat.
People saying that they wouldn’t let him leave are dumb. You’d be putting your family in immediate danger since his men would start shooting and you’re not considering that maybe the daughters aren’t going to shoot.
Matthew's courtroom closing arguments in A TIME TO KILL was shot in a single take. The power, raw emotion and sensitivity in the performance was one of cinema's greatest moments. THAT... was Matthew's greatest performance by a mile! He's had many memorable performances but A TIME TO KILL was very early in his career and placed him squarely on the "A-list"!
A freaking Sh!t ton has changed. It may seem like this where YOU are, but the country is much, much bigger than it was then and than you can see from your neighborhood. There are scattered pockets of discontentment, you're in one.
It was very different. In the Free State of Jones, everybody was equal. Black, white, male, female, adult or child. Their uninimity was their strength and it allowed them to fight off both rebel and union forces
I used to think Mathew was a man of character. But he’s just a character. He talented actor that’s for sure. No one with his skill does these historical movies and prepares so in depth like him . And then tries to talk Americans into giving up their tools and more he’s done
“We’ll be back” That’s when I would’ve pulled the trigger. That’s a threat and a promise to return to endanger my family. Yeah you’re fucked if you say that to me.
Now imagine what would've happened if this was a gun free zone? It's amazing how respectful people can be when everyone is armed. The other key point made is that the gun needs someone to pull a trigger, they don't act on their own.

This movie is a true story. It’s an EXCELLENT movie . Many people do not realize that nearly all of southern Mississippi at one time was its own county and it was named free state Jones county today it’s a smaller county. But back after the civil war this man you see is Jones and he helped all the slaves get to a free place in Mississippi and hid them from the confederate armies and the union army in the swamps of Mississippi and even fought the confederacy with the slave army he raised and won. Hell of a man. He was married to a white woman and had children with her BUT he ended up falling in love with a free slave and married her and had children with her. The cool thing is his white wife helped them raise their children and protected them. Their son in the 1960’s fought the state of Mississippi to marry a woman but because of racism at the time he was fighting his interracial marriage to a woman which is how the movie starts out then it goes to his father in the past. I live here in jones county and I see so many places this man built still standing. He is a legend here.
There were a lot of southerners who were unionists even far into the war. The confederacy made it appoint to isolate these people and then two destroyed them piecemeal. Even the so called great general robert e lee med troops on such raids. They accomplished their objectives of destroying the men and their families, Plundering all the crops and possessions left behind, And declaring stay at home farmers as deserters. These could be either pressed into the army or simply shot for "desertion." These press men were among the most despised people in the entire confederacy. Only slave dealers and pimps were seen as worse. Or maybe not.
Nearly half the CSA was in revolt of some form by the end. Poor whites often had no vote before 1860, even if it were just the men, the upper class made it impossible.
The western part of Virginia actually seceded from the state of Virginia and join the Union. This part of Virginia later became the state of West Virginia.

*** IMPORTANT QUESTIONS **** They treated one another like that, you could only imagine how they treated my people but then again you couldn’t even imagine it and if you did, I would ask what kind of mind do you have to be able to think of something like that ? Our elders have stories passed down, but I would not even repeat it in this comment section , it makes me angry as I speak. Oh yeah and by the way, why is it here the 21st century when there’s all this so called loving and accepting one another ( diversity) that my people are still on reservations ? Not one black, not one white are bringing up the fact that why are THE ORIGINAL Americans are still on reservations, especially after we took the black man off the plantations ( Thank God ) ???? Black community , I have a question for you ; when your fathers and mothers ran off the plantations our mothers and fathers hid and took care of your mothers and fathers on the reservations. They gave yours a place to stay until they could get to the north where they could be free and now that you are in power and have authority and over everything ( sports , music industry , Hollywood and believe it or not even golf and etc., ) You have NOT spoken up for us and I mean you had a black president and you have a vice president. Have you forgotten what we did did for you all ???? But then again you are not our Savior, The Great Spirit is.
I dont want to minimize the atrocities done to Native Americans... but it needs to be pointed out that they can leave the reservations any time they want... its just that the land is set aside for them IF they want to live there.

This place was called the “Kingdom of Jones”. It was a Union town, in the heart of the South that held out for the entire civil war. It was never controlled by the Confederacy.
I have to agree with others sentiments in this thread. The instant that he threatened"we'll beb back, he'd have been bleeding on the ground .87 seconds later. No need on waiting for them to get reinforcements, let's just get it over with now, crows need to eat too.
Don't rely on that. Today's films are known for rewriting history with an anti-American bias. And that's because the film makers knows American know little to nothing about our nation's history, therefore you and others believe all that looks believable on the screen as historical fact, when it isn't at all. These are the same caliber of viewers who watched Disney"s version of Pearl Harbor, not realizing there were sixty-three historical errors in the film. Including a view of the Arizona Memorial in the back ground.. Know your history before watching Hollywood's distorted interpretations. You and your family will be better off for it. So will the country..
This. The elites were few in number, but vocal and powerful. Many poor were drafted to fight, and die, for a rich man's cause......."every time history repeats itself, the price goes up."
The same thing was happening in both areas. North and South. People forget during that war people were forced to go fight, refuse = death no matter what side you were on.

@oldtimer7602 Yeah, this was the Civil War version of "The Bronx Tale" 100 years later, lol: "Now youse CAN'T leave:" ua-cam.com/video/PfOC-Z6wG8w/v-deo.html
One thing I've learned in life is you never let mistakes walk away. They will haunt you if they come back.
like the autosubs saying "quite normal" instead of "quite an army"
He would have lost. Bluffing. He would have exposed themselves.
We'll be back means you need time to plan and gather more men to hurt me and mine, so this takes it to a point where you aren't coming back because I'm not letting you leave.
Man Standing his Ground, Big Respect
That man was still a dirty judeo-christian brit stealing land from the natives...
I will say a family , not a man, as the woman , even the girls are either him
"We'll be back".
"Now, youze can't leave."
*Yall can’t leave.
There. Fixed it for ya.
"We'll be back"
Now, to that? I say "Now youse CAN'T leave."
Never let them leave when they say they will be back
Everyone is saying "Yeah when he said we'll be back, I'd have shot him" but you are not realising that he was bluffing. He was outnumbered and outgunned, but he made it appear as though he had superior firepower and positions. He didn't WANT a fight. He knew that a fight would've likely resulted in his loss.
Easier to just let the dude leave and figure out a solution for the next encounter than go down in a hail of bullets for nothing.
Which he did do. He knew all he had were women and children, if he had been killed, he was quite aware what would happen to those people. No one seems to understand that, in these comments.
@dianenecaise1776 A lot of wannabe-cowboy macho men playing up their violent justice fantasies. What else can you expect of people who're conditioned, even by law in many cases (for the US specifically), to shoot first and ask questions later? One cannot think when one doesn't ask questions.
When they did come back, both sides had more men and more weapons, but the deserters had the surprise and won that fight.
@@tileux "deserters"
@@manicboy76 have you seen the movie? Its basically about how a group of confederate deserters - aided by family amd escaped slaves - established the ‘free state of jones’ (except it was just a county). The firefight that followed this scene was deserters and some of their female relatives.
We"ll be back? BANG... No you won't.
Kind of like Inman pursued and killed the last renegade home guard in the movie 'Cold Mountain' so he would not have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.

"NOW YOUS CAN'T LEAVE"
@@panchopistol6897 underrated comment.
Some would say if a man tells you he’s coming back to get you the best course of action is to make certain he never leaves.
IMO that would cut the movie short but save you a helluva lotta grief later on.
To everybody who said "I wouldn't have let them leave"... dude was BLUFFING. I mean, sure, if he really had people stationed in the house with guns, the family would have probably won although everybody outside would have probably died... but he _didn't._ It was really only the four of them outside. His family had old style rifles, not repeaters, and only one of them was aiming properly. He had a double barreled shotgun. They were facing at least four trained soldiers with superior weaponry, one of whom was on horseback. It would have been a bad time to attack, they would have probably lost. Sometimes you have to allow them to come back so you can set up a proper ambush. The most important thing is to control the time and place of the fight. If you don't actually have the advantage and your objective is to preserve your people, you _should_ avoid the fight at that time.
When he said we will be back/ he would have never left.
Have you seen his back up. A couple girls who've probably never shot and pipes hanging through walls his whole thing is a bluff
You are all talk.

I 100% agree and love how dark you all are 😈.
The mistake made here was, that when he said “We’ll be back”, the shooting didn’t start. You just had a threat made and they are coming back to enforce that threat in greater numbers.

If theres ever a time to call someones bluff this is it
❤
You think a girl can't pull a trigger? He was bluffing about numbers but they had plenty to put them down
@@nk-dw2hmno the soldiers had the advantage. Those girls and the woman had single shot rifles, not repeaters. Firing a weapon accurately under pressure is difficult, thats why a military training is so important. So those girls would be unlikely to hit anyone. The cavalry likely had cap and ball revolvers so each of them has 6 shots. So yeah, guy could have killed the officer but then he would have definetly lost some of his family in that fight.
@@28Hazefur there were like 4 soldiers, and you don't think the man, his wife, and 2 daughters who already had their weapons out and aimed couldn't kill them? The soldiers also had no reason to believe the other guns weren't manned so they were of the belief that they had a 0% survival chance.
Since we know he was bluffing, sure a soldier or two might survive the first volley, then you better hope the man defending his family doesn't have a revolver, a knife, or literally any other weapon, and that he isn't able to get to the body of the dead soldier that'd be just a few feet away from him and has firearms.
When somebody says “We’ll be back” then that’s the moment they’re not leaving in one piece
“We’ll be back.” Response: “Now you’se can’t leave.”

@@mannysanfeliz9872 They don't need reinforcements to win a fight vs him, his wife and two young daughters.
Yeah the number if soldiers there did not bode well, even if they werent ready for a fight. If they each aimed at a different soldier and opened fire at the same time they'd probably have it, but otherwise there would be casualties.
If ALL men were like this, the "powers that be" would have to find an alternative to war. The BEST way to protect your family, is to be with your family; I don't care what the governments say.
I don’t care what anyone says this is one of Mathew M best performances ever
This would have been such an awful time to be alive. This war was nasty and personal. Brutal stuff.
Its happen all over always. And has been since before it was glorified in storys.
Those principled souls that fought in that Civil War helped secure our needed freedoms of this nation's oppressed humanity. Without them, we would not be who we are now.
The same shidt is happening right now in Ukraine. Unfortunately the bad guys are bigger and nastier and flatten everything in their way.
Sadly we are getting pretty close to it again.

Those that never went into harm's way during the war, I.E. the Home Guard and weasels like this were pretty much universally despised. Way too many of them turned into scum that bullied and abused while better men were actually in the fight. I understand that when the war was over and the actual fighting men came home, a lot of accounts were settled.
You're seeing this play out right now in Ukraine, the military commissars kidnapping men to force them into the army fighting at the front, beating women who record them, and taking bribes to avoid conscripting those who can afford to pay.
.... If there were any survivors left to settle those accounts.

@@alexG106 Yup...the Russians do some messed up $#!T
Such as Captain Teague in the movie 'Cold Mountain'. There actually was a Captain Teague in North Carolina who led a band of thugs that pursued draft dodgers and deserters from the Confederate Army. 'Cold Mountain' is a fictional movie portraying the actual atrocities by the Home Guards in the mountains of western North Carolina during the American Civil War.
I recommend the non-fiction book 'Rebels In Blue' about Keith and Malinda Blalock (if you have not read it already).
@alexG106 Yup! Pretty fcked up! Ukraine are not the good guys... They have always been super corrupt and were used by the worst US politicians to launder money, hell Joe biden bragged about shutting down an investigation into his family's illegal bribery, extortion, and money laundering ring and getting the lead prosecutor fired!... What's arguably even worse is all the foreign aid we've been sending them so far about 90% of it has "gone missing" and miraculously Ukrainian elites and their US politician friends have had the largest "anonymous donations" in history right after each payment and coincidentally Ukraine now has the largest amount of registered yachts and super yachts docked in Florida, California, and the Bahamas.. Ironically even with Ukraine admitting all of this, including the fact that 90% of the money donated isn't making it to the war effort or people, "certain" US politicians are fighting tooth and nail to stop any conversation about requiring an audit on the foreign aid!.... Gee, I wonder why that could be?!.....😂 They don't even try to hide it anymore and some people are still dumb enough to believe them!...😮💨
An old family story. (This was in west Tennessee from the details I’ve gathered, might’ve lived around the land between the lakes area) In the civil war my great great (etc you get the idea) grandfather had a farm next to some folks who settled down way long before they got there. The neighbor boys (2 in their late teens) were out doing chores one day when union soldiers arrived at the front of the farm and put the two boy’s heads on pikes for the farmer to see. This man wasn’t of military fighting age but he took his rifle and would set up on the banks of the Mississippi taking pot-shots at union troops on barges. Can’t substantiate the story, just been passed down for generations, all that to say. If someone makes a threat against you or your family, be sure you’re the first to cash in on that threat.
Land between the Lakes is ware wolf territory!

Matthew's courtroom closing arguments in A TIME TO KILL was shot in a single take. The power, raw emotion and sensitivity in the performance was one of cinema's greatest moments.

This movie is a true story. It’s an EXCELLENT movie . Many people do not realize that nearly all of southern Mississippi at one time was its own county and it was named free state Jones county today it’s a smaller county. But back after the civil war this man you see is Jones and he helped all the slaves get to a free place in Mississippi and hid them from the confederate armies and the union army in the swamps of Mississippi and even fought the confederacy with the slave army he raised and won. Hell of a man. He was married to a white woman and had children with her BUT he ended up falling in love with a free slave and married her and had children with her. The cool thing is his white wife helped them raise their children and protected them. Their son in the 1960’s fought the state of Mississippi to marry a woman but because of racism at the time he was fighting his interracial marriage to a woman which is how the movie starts out then it goes to his father in the past. I live here in jones county and I see so many places this man built still standing. He is a legend here.

There were a lot of southerners who were unionists even far into the war. The confederacy made it appoint to isolate these people and then two destroyed them piecemeal. Even the so called great general robert e lee med troops on such raids. They accomplished their objectives of destroying the men and their families, Plundering all the crops and possessions left behind, And declaring stay at home farmers as deserters. These could be either pressed into the army or simply shot for "desertion."
These press men were among the most despised people in the entire confederacy. Only slave dealers and pimps were seen as worse. Or maybe not.
They had pimps?
That's neat, I always wondered how the brothels work or if there are "Independent Contractors" on the street competing.
Nearly half the CSA was in revolt of some form by the end. Poor whites often had no vote before 1860, even if it were just the men, the upper class made it impossible.
The western part of Virginia actually seceded from the state of Virginia and join the Union. This part of Virginia later became the state of West Virginia.

*** IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ****
They treated one another like that, you could only imagine how they treated my people but then again you couldn’t even imagine it and if you did, I would ask what kind of mind do you have to be able to think of something like that ? Our elders have stories passed down, but I would not even repeat it in this comment section , it makes me angry as I speak. Oh yeah and by the way, why is it here the 21st century when there’s all this so called loving and accepting one another ( diversity) that my people are still on reservations ? Not one black, not one white are bringing up the fact that why are THE ORIGINAL Americans are still on reservations, especially after we took the black man off the plantations ( Thank God ) ????
Black community , I have a question for you ; when your fathers and mothers ran off the plantations our mothers and fathers hid and took care of your mothers and fathers on the reservations. They gave yours a place to stay until they could get to the north where they could be free and now that you are in power and have authority and over everything ( sports , music industry , Hollywood and believe it or not even golf and etc., ) You have NOT spoken up for us and I mean you had a black president and you have a vice president. Have you forgotten what we did did for you all ???? But then again you are not our Savior, The Great Spirit is.
Whut ?
I'm sorry brother. You are correct and right.
I dont want to minimize the atrocities done to Native Americans... but it needs to be pointed out that they can leave the reservations any time they want... its just that the land is set aside for them IF they want to live there.

I have to agree with others sentiments in this thread. The instant that he threatened"we'll beb back, he'd have been bleeding on the ground .87 seconds later. No need on waiting for them to get reinforcements, let's just get it over with now, crows need to eat too.
This movie taught me a bit of history I did not know about.
Don't rely on that. Today's films are known for rewriting history with an anti-American bias. And that's because the film makers knows American know little to nothing about our nation's history, therefore you and others believe all that looks believable on the screen as historical fact, when it isn't at all. These are the same caliber of viewers who watched Disney"s version of Pearl Harbor, not realizing there were sixty-three historical errors in the film. Including a view of the Arizona Memorial in the back ground..
