Jackson: We lose our slaves

Hearing the deserters were from his old command had to feel like a slap in the face to Jackson. You can kind of see it in how he initially takes the news.

As much as I like Stephen Lang’s performance here (in fact it’s the only entertaining thing in this movie), this is not really an accurate portrayal of Stonewall as he was. The real SJ was more soft spoken and socially awkward. He definitely was a thin-looking gentleman like he is shown here, but he didn’t give many charismatic speeches and his words didn’t really inspire his men. In fact he didn’t really have any strong relationships with his soldiers, and the men serving under him all thought he was odd, and even a tad crazy. What Stephen Lang portrays here is a very idealized version of the man, pulled from myth and legends that spread after his death.

I like how he says that, but then you look at actual history and realize most of what he said happened to the Confederates. They went home with pensions and lived happily ever after.

jackson was like my how dare they endanger my slave profits with a war of freedom..

Of course he hated abolishinists. He was a Major General, commanding officer, 2nd Corps of the Army of Virginia. What he is referring to is how he must maintain discipline within the ranks.

I refuse to be lectured by Southern White Trash.

Man thats funny. Hes mad at people making money off others suffering while fighting to literally do that to slaves. How are you this close to the point and still missing it?

The "Great Tax Revolt of 1861" would be a more accurate name! Northern industrialists were bitter about the South having a profitable trading agreement with Europe, the South was the richest part of the country then, and they wanted that wealth under their control at all costs, especially following the Panic of 1857, which wasn't helped when the SS Central America sank off North Carolina with 30,000lbs of gold, estimated in today's money to be worth almost $800,000,000.

And we lost it all...

Politicans, dont care about citizens, they care about votes, loads of cash, and getting us to fight one another by dividing us.

It’s the army of the Lord……, even though buying and selling human beings is prohibited in exodus 21:16

The human mind can rationalize most anything. One could ask Mr. Jackson who this "we" and "our" is because it certainly isn't those deserters or the Southern yeoman farmers who are having their sons and themselves drafted so that the planter classes can retain political power.

people like Stonewall Jackson are born 1 time every 1,000 years

It's ashamed our democrats are ruining our country,look at monument Ave in Richmond,where the rioter destroyed Jackson and Lee famous statues,he would be disappointed today world.

Im a conservative, i see no reason to profit from a war and people who do so sicken me Normally i side with republicans and oppose modern dems but both suck either way

They all deserved a much better.movie

"We lost our INDEPENDENCE" said the man fighting for a country that existed to hold men in bondage. And not the kinky kind.

Yikes, made it onto low IQ RUclips. WTF is the gibberish in this description. The Confederacy had more in common with the Nazi Party than any other American institution before or since.

Lol. This is some real apocryphal bullshit. Stonewall Jackson may have been standing up for what he thought was right (the preservation and expansion of the institution of slavery), but putting phoney words in his mouth is a slap in the face to actual history. You can dress a pickle up in a nightgown, but it’s still a pickle. Jackson was a traitor to his country and died by being accidentally shot by his allies. A fitting death for a traitor set on preserving the ownership of other people.

Truer words have never been spoken than by General Jackson on the future of the US!!!!! And those prophetic words are becoming facts every single day.

What the South lost was it's slaves, it's slave state and the right to hold their fellow men in bondage. What utter Neo-Confederate masturbatory horseshit this fucking thing was.

Seceede. Free the south

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A SNAKE IN THE GRASS

Had the souths never exploited the blacks they would have won the civil war.

So true when you see the mess we’re in now with the liberal left .

lol "zenophobic" in the description, when you don't know greek but you use greek words

What a load of BS. Another lying ass part of the so-called Lost Cause Myth.

they were smugling burbon probably

This had nothing to do with his hatred for Republicans. 3 men had deserted and where caught

Hey ricknati - funny how you accuse the Republicans of being racists, zenophobes, every "ist", "ism", and "phobe" word that comes to mind, and without making any mention of the Southern Democrats being SLAVE owners??? You are blinded by your hatred!

From the earliest, the war between the states was not a "civil" war in the true meaning of the term as the confederacy was not seeking to take control of the nation....Theirs was a struggle for the rights as sovereign states with framework of a Constitutional Republic..

''If we lose, we lose our country, and independence'' except if you are part of the 2/3rd of such country who was a slave, for them, losing meant freedom.

This movie gives the most inaccurate representation of the south.

"If we lose, we lose our country...our independence" "The Republicans and their war profiteering" Good lord what propaganda. Yuck.

Such a shame this performance was lost in this bloated mess of a movie. Also having a speech attacking war profiteers whilst leading an army defending a slave economy is about as cringe as you can get. It's like having a Nazi general say he hopes Germany win so the communists don't lock up all the protestants.

To this day, those who hold power are the ones still making money off of blood, sweat, and tears while everyone else suffers.

The South shall rise again.

(Responding to video description) Indeed, some things never change. Like how the Democratic party is still the party of slavery and white supremacy 😉

I visited at the Chancellorsville Battlefield Visitors Center yesterday. I saw where Jackson was shot and the memorial that’s there now to his memory. I felt a strong sense of heaviness there. The wilderness is a really forbidding place

Similar to today except it’s both the Republicans and Democrats profiteering off of war. There is literally no difference between the Clintons and Bush’s or pelosi and McConnell.

Jackson was the only Southern Commander who understood and had the ability to defeat the North.

And...no man shall have to answer to a political party. We the people will rise up with such power and flatten you.

That's some community theatre level talent, there. Not quite Workplace Safety video level, but almost.

This movie was so godawful on so many levels. All the South had to lose was its slaves and the right to oppress. This whole film is pathetic and that goes for the commenters who think the South was right.

It's hilarious how they want to portrait confederates as kind and visionary people. And they left out the fact that they were protecting their love for slavery. It's ironic how people who practice slavery, talk about being free and be afraid to lose it,ehen they themselves, took away the freedom of others.

Soon many sighs, it's the little things that make this movie so awkwardly boring and dull

Rich words, coming from a man who sent men to die by the thousands to protect the ruling southern elite's profiteering from genocidal human bondage.

"we loose...we loose...we loose....OUR SLAVES!" should have been the right sentence

Rick, you're full of shit.
