Civil War Movies:
Good vs. Bad

Morris van de Camp

1,841 words

There was a time that the American mainstream was really interested in the US Civil War of 1860-1865. That time was before Obama’s gloomy second term empowered the insane asylum of weeping non-whites, deviants, mattoids, and Marxists that rejected all American history as evil except for the semi-fable of the saintly Sub-Saharans of 1619.

I’m uncertain of what led to this massive interest, but can speculate that there were several intersecting causes. Indeed, the story of the conflict — its rainy marches, desperate charges, and cannonades — is very interesting in its own right. Furthermore, just as America started to commemorate the centennial of the conflict, the same sorts of racial problems that led to the war resurfaced in the form of the “civil rights” movement, thus giving a sharp edge to historical study. Finally, there was Bruce Catton (1899-1978).

Catton wrote a brilliant series of Civil War histories in the 1950s which inspired a generation of scholars, movie makers, and artists. In the early 1990s, there were many Civil War reenactors and this sub-culture even had its own shibboleths. Some of the reenactors were so dedicated to authenticity they deliberately got themselves sick to duplicate the forlorn look of soldiers one sees in the photos of men in the war.

Bruce Catton is probably the best historian of the US Civil War. He was from Michigan, the son of a Congregationalist minister.

These re-enactors served, quite literally, as an army of extras that appeared in a variety of Civil War movies. There is a Golden Age to Civil War movies that probably starts with John Wayne’s 1969 film The Undefeated. The peak years in terms of quality of Civil War movie production are the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Ken Burns’ famous mini-series about the Civil War was broadcast in the fall of 1990. This miniseries took place during the build-up to the Persian Gulf War, so Burns’ images of dead American soldiers from the Civil War juxtaposed next to images of Americans deploying to the desert gave a tangible sense of danger to the news reports coming from Saudi Arabia.

Ken Burns’ miniseries The Civil War (1990) was broadcast as Americans were deploying to Saudi Arabia. Reminding the public of the costs of the Civil War just as a new one was starting created a vast social tension.

Before getting too far into Civil War movies, most films related to the subject — Gone With the Wind (1939) or The Birth of a Nation (1915) are more about the flawed government policy of Reconstruction which took place after than war than the war itself. Additionally, there is the temptation to apply modern ideas of Political Right vs. Political Left to the conflict that doesn’t always match up. We don’t really know what John Brown would have thought about Antifa burning cities in the lead-up to the 2020 election.

Black Lives Matter activists vandalized the monument to the 54th Massachusetts in 2020. One cannot apply modern political splits to the US Civil War. The conflict today is that of Andrew Jackson’s coalition of Anglo-European Yeomen vs. Obama’s coalition of Sub-Saharans, other non-whites, and spiteful mutants.

There are two interesting movies about the Civil War that should be discussed. The first is Glory (1989) and the second is Gods and Generals (2003). I’ll save you the suspense, Glory is an outstanding movie. Gods and Generals is badly flawed. What makes these movies work or not work is important to explain because the Left produces outstanding fictional works and the Right needs to catch up. Fictional works change minds.

Glory

You can buy The World in Flames: The Shorter Writings of Francis Parker Yockey here.

Glory tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. The 54th Massachusetts was a regiment led by white officers but otherwise made up of black soldiers. It was led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the blue-eyed child of fortune from Boston. (Robert G. Shaw is played by Matthew Broderick.)

The film starts off with a compelling enactment of the Battle of Antietam, where Captain Shaw gets a minor wound that lands him in the hospital. In the hospital, a medical orderly talks to Captain Shaw about Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation while a screaming nearby soldier is having his leg amputated without painkillers.

The hospital scene is a perfect example of what makes Glory so excellent. The cost of freeing the slaves is shown in a stark way without hitting the audience over the head with explanations. Glory is filled with such imagery and has a plot that stays on track from beginning to end.

While home on leave, Shaw is given the opportunity to become the Colonel of a new regiment of black soldiers. He accepts the appointment and gets his first two recruits, Major Cabot Forbes (Cary Elwes) and Private Thomas Searles (Andre Braugher).

The characters of Shaw, Forbes, and Thomas get solid development. In Shaw, we see the loneliness of command. Forbes, Shaw, and Thomas are all childhood friends, but the responsibilities of command mean that Shaw must ensure that Forbes is training the men properly and that he must compel Forbes to back the difficult, correct, but deeply unpopular decisions of Shaw, such as flogging the deserter Private Trip (Denzel Washington).

Thomas ends up having a very hard time with soldiering. In Boston, he was a free person of color working in a prestigious job. In the Army he is just a private, having a hard time with the physical aspects of soldiering thus drawing the ire of the Sergeant Major. He is also bedeviled by the more worldly and authentic blacks who bully him — especially Private Trip.

Another part of what makes Glory so outstanding is how it portrays the friend-enemy distinction. During the Civil War, obviously, the South was the enemy of the North, but in the movies, the only Southerners are unarmed civilians or soldiers doing their duty. The Confederates don’t murder POWs and say no insults. They are a distant enemy. On the other hand, Union army brass and rear echelon officers serve as the villains audiences love to hate. This arrangement makes the critical Southern movie-going audience comfortable with the film.

Another tight aspect of Glory’s plot is the relationship with Private Thomas Searles and his tent mates that include Sergeant Major Rawlins (Morgan Freeman), Private Sharts (Jihmi Kennedy), the Mute Drummer Boy (RonReaco Lee), and Private Trip.

Trip is exceptionally mean to Thomas and is a troublemaker. Eventually, Rawlins snaps and says:

And what are you? So full of hate you want to go out and fight everybody! Because you’ve been whipped and chased by hounds. Well, that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain’t dying. And dying’s been what these white boys have been doing for going on three years now! Dying by the thousands! Dying for you, fool! I know, ’cause I dug the graves. And all this time I keep askin’ myself, when, O Lord, when it’s gonna be our time? Gonna come a time when we all gonna hafta ante up. Ante up and kick in like men. Like men! You watch who you call a nigger! If there’s any niggers around here, it’s you. Just a smart-mouthed, stupid-ass, swamp-runnin’ nigger! And if you not careful, that’s all you ever gonna be!

This quote is deadly serious. It is an uncomfortable truth about the black relationship with whites — especially Yankee whites. And the statement is made by a black character that whites are sympathetic to.

Blacks in America gained the benefits of being around whites. What whites got from being around blacks was an African criminal caste with a hate-filled ideology. In the end, blacks didn’t free themselves from slavery. Other than a few token regiments like the 54th Massachusetts, they were freed by whites. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was a time when it was possible to criticize blacks in the mainstream, and Glory does that even as it makes the men of the 54th Massachusetts heroes.

The movie’s character development and artistic rendition of the attack on Fort Wagner are so good that one feels agony when the Confederate flag is raised the morning after the attack.

The movie ends by saying that Fort Wagner “never fell” to the Union. This is not true. The Union Army captured the fort after they brought in a number of Parrott Rifles (a type of heavy artillery) and blasted the fort into smoking craters, causing the Confederates to withdraw. Had that fact been shown in the movie, the audience might ask why the Union Army didn’t use the Parrott Rifles before they sent the 54th on a hopeless frontal assault?

Gods and Generals

Gods and Generals (2003) is Ronald F. Maxwell’s follow up to his outstanding made-for-TV movie Gettysburg (1993). It has many of the same actors playing the same characters. Jeff Daniels, for example, plays Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in both films, but in Gods and Generals, Robert E. Lee is played by Robert Duvall rather than Martin Sheen in the earlier film. Stephen Lang plays General Pickett in Gettysburg and Stonewall Jackson in Gods.

Stephen Lang’s portrayal of Stonewall Jackson is outstanding. He really brings out the professional soldier, Presbyterian fanatic, and able leader that was Jackson. Unfortunately, Land’s excellent acting doesn’t save Gods and Generals. Charitably speaking, the movie is a flawed masterpiece; uncharitably speaking, Gods and Generals sucks.

The flaws in Gods and Generals can be listed. First, there is a lack of character development. In Glory, one sees Colonel Shaw grow into the mature leader of men. In Gods and Generals, the officers and men are plastic demigods. Lang’s Stonewall Jackson has no growth or development from start to finish.

Second, the movie is made for reenactors — not a broader audience. There are long scenes where grown men look over uniforms like bridesmaids looking at wedding dresses. Furthermore, the battle scenes don’t contain the gore or pathos that Glory has. Indeed, there are too many long stretches of marching Rebels or Yankees followed up with too many long-winded speeches.

Finally, and most importantly, is the neo-Confederate ideology that permeates the film. What I mean by neo-Confederate ideology in this article is the idea of looking at the South as a functional society until the “Northern Aggressor” showed up and wrecked everything. In Gods and Generals, the Southerners are surrounded by happy blacks supporting The Cause.

If only that were the case. Thomas Jefferson himself said Southern society had “the wolf by the ears.”

A more compelling story would be that of a white who loves his slaves and think they love him until they murder his family in their beds due to abolitionist propaganda.

    I hated Gods and Generals. Its cringe confederate cool boomer feed portraying the aristocratic planter class of the south as men of the people sharing campfires with slaves and the northerners as privileged and detached surrounded by materialism, which is not just wrong but also stupid. There are dozens of movies about confederate bushwackers like Jessie James but not a single one about General Sherman.

      I agree with you in regards to Gods and Generals. There are some people whom I know that adore this film and trying to discuss it from a critical perspective never gets too far. You can’t open the eyes of those who are unable to think critically and independently.

    I’ve always enjoyed Cold Mountain as the film isn’t entirely about the war itself, but about how the war deeply divided families and turned brother against brother.

    I never knew I’d see the day “neo-confederate” was a word used by an author in a place like “counter currents”. Now putting aside the offending word being an invention of Marxist identity politics to describe people and organizations commited to preserving the history of the South, I will say as much for your “happy blacks”. I will not deny that black people did not make up any significant numbers in the Confederacy’s military, but that they were hate filled rebels who were waiting at any moment to fall into revolution is far from the truth, considering that they had several opportunities to induce this race war such as in John Brown’s raid and the Emancipation Proclamation (which Lincoln admitted was designed to foment rebellion). There is also the glaring fact that if the South were in such great danger there would never have been an opportunity for the whites to go to war against the Union since, if they leave their homes, who is to keep those supposedly “violent negroes” in check?

    It’s bad enough that spiritual Yankees on the left tell Southerners that they are evil and stupid and backward, but it is beyond the pale for ostensibly right wing people to think the same of the South for two of those three reasons!

    There is no way in which the Union victory in the Civil War was a good thing – it was, as Lang’s Stonewall Jackson says “the prelude to anarchy, infidelity, the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent. It is the triumph of commerce, the banks, factories.” That is to say, the defeat of the South was the triumph of modernist progressive liberalism moreso than even the defeat of Nazi Germany. In fact, I daresay that Hitler’s defeat was a forgone conclusion after the conclusion of the US Civil War.

      Jonathon Bowden (P.B.U.H.) once remarked that the American Civil War was the first battle in The European Civil War (what he has called WWI and WWII). I agree.

    It is nearly impossible today to speak accurately about The War Against the States without losing one’s source of income and the tolerance of one’s neighbors. Confederate soldiers were not engaged in rebellion, but in defending their newly-established sovereign country – The Confederate States of America. Far from wishing to rule America, the Southern states wished to leave it and then to be left alone, as President Davis declared. More problematic still is the theory that slavery is morally wrong. America today, some of us believe, would be a far more civilized and yes a more moral location if Negroes had been kept in slavery.

    1. Esoteric Du30ist says:
      September 16, 2020 at 6:21 am

      The main difference, or a main difference, between natural conservatism and anti-natural progressivism is this: conservatism deals with reality (even to the extent of idealizing the past so much so that it becomes a form of utopianism), whereas progressivism deals with pure will to power utopianism. The fact is that Africans were present in large numbers in the Americas. While keeping them around was a bad idea, if sending them back to Africa was not going to happen – and even if they were sent back it isn’t as though liberals and leftists wouldn’t still try to make us all support Africans as has happened in real history – wouldn’t it be better for Whites and civilization generally if Blacks were kept in submission? How has setting them free and giving them civil rights and the high hand against everyone else in the culture turned out for der Ewige Yankee?

      The South was not just right, the South IS the Right. Or rather maybe it should be the Right is in the position as the South was. Conservatives just want to leave and be left alone. But the spiritual Yankee busybody just won’t let us be. Secession is the only route to peace, but sadly that won’t be allowed, nor will it even be popular given the caucasoid female issue.

      Everyone forgets that negro slavery was a colonial legacy and that it would have never obtained under a self-consciously conceived white nation. (cf. Globalists have learned to keep most of their slaves overseas).

      AT any rate, Slavery was never the ethical dilemma that emancipation was–99% of Americans north and south preferred enslaved negroes to free Nwords.

    If Counter-Currents Southern readers have not yet seceded I have a question: Under the rules of chivalry can you challenge Neo-abolitionist Morris to a duel or must you subject him to a caning a la the Boston Brayman Sumner?

    Needless to say neo-Stowism represented then and represents now the most pernicious sickness in the white soul. I am sorry to see it has wormed its way into one of CC’s writers.

    Get wail soon Morris!
