      @@Davidgreene-t2y Mary has no power to do anything. Mary won’t save you in the final day. Belief in her is your ignorance on the surface. The fact you claim anything besides the name of Jesus Christ shows your lack of knowledge of Gods word and your willingness to do what you are told, and not what scripture says. God the father. God the son. God the Holy Spirit. Mary doesn’t even count in the grand scheme. Yes she was chosen by God and in the lineage of David, but her only purpose was to bare the son of man in her womb and raise him. That’s it. Then she died. End of story. Typical Catholic idolater.

    How do you know there are Confederate veterans in this movie? I doubt it. I haven't seen anyone in it old enough. Even the youngest would have been about 66 years old. Remember the 50th Anniversary of Gettysburg came a year later after this movie was made. Wonder if this is very loosely based on the career of the C.S.S. Albemarle and the 1864 Plymouth, North Carolina campaign?

    • @BirdDogg
      @BirdDogg  6 месяцев назад +12

      It’s documented as such although the only roles I found documented positively were that veterans were working in artillery crews. With that said, I was watching super close myself for other scenes with veterans obvious. I don’t remember the exact time stamps at the moment(I’m working or I’d watch it all again) but it seems there was a boat scene and a marching scene where they were marching away from the camera that I remember with obvious veteran aged actors. As to who was who in which scenes throughout though is hard to say.

      I'd expect a costumed 1900 era steam loco if they didn't have any working 1860s ones. Maybe it is a real one fitted with a false truck motor

    The North attacked a sovereign nation when it attacked the Confederate States of America. Fort Sumter was their 9/11, I suppose. Cost over 620,000 American lives before it ended.
    Personally, I would have sent a bill to Pres. Jeff Davis to cover the cost of the damage to the fort and lives lost at Sumter instead of 75,000 Union soldiers.
