    One of the greatest songs written for a movie, and beautifully performed.

    Great song...... Gettysburg and Gods & Generals are two great movies. Everyone should be made to watch these movies and see this tragic part of America's history. The sacrifice, the devotion on both sides, men who would fight for their beliefs, those that died and were wounded. Soldiers both white and black. The loss of life of not only military but many citizens caught in the middle. Sad to see our country headed down a similar path these days. God Bless all men who have served our nation. My father Vietnam Veteran 1970-1971. Thanks to all of you who have served in our military for protecting my freedoms.

      @showlogicprod If you knew history, or much of anything, confederate veterans are veterans of the US MILITARY. The destruction of their monuments is not only morally reprehensible, but ILLEGAL. Then, of course, you know as little of morality as of history. Oh, and I am a Vermonter.

      @@rokndady It's not "our society". it's "traitors in the pay of foreigners". Nobody else could do so much damage to their own people and still say "we love our country". It's not just your country, either. There are millions of us who know better and are merely sharpening our knives for the next Day of Days.

    I just wanted to tell you that the first time I heard your song was on a field trip to see this movie in theaters. As I watched the waving flags and heard this very Celtic-sounding song, I just started weeping like a fool. My friend, who was sitting beside me, gave me a weird look and I just shrugged. The movie hadn't even started, and I was already moved to tears! Thank you, Mary Fahl!

    I was so glad to see the 3rd Arkansas Infantry flag acknowledged at the beginning of Gods and Generals while this song was playing. They were the only Arkansas regiment to fight the entire war with the Army of Northern Virginia until the surrender at Appomattox. Part of the famous Texas Brigade, General Lee’s shock troops. Only 144 of the original 1,353 soldiers of the regiment made it to Appomattox.

    When southerners watch “Gods And Generals,” they see a tragic movie about a national tragedy. When northerners watch the movie, they see a Klu Klux Klan recruitment movie; a movie that stirs the hearts of southerners who yearn for the good old days of slavery. That’s how Roger Ebert described the movie.

    I'm a Union guy myself and do think that as things pertained to the upper echelon of the Confederate government it's pretty clear slavery was the primary issue. However, that doesn't mean that no respect should be given to the common foot soldiers who fought bravely for what they thought was freedom or that those their dead left behind don't deserve our sympathy.
