^ Ugh. I know it's a movie and not a history class but to suggest, which this film seem to, that slavery was the only issue around the American Civil War is ridiculous. Slavery wasn't even the main issue of the war, which was State vs Federal rights and the general economic and cultural differences of the north vs south. Robert E. Lee, the famous confederate general was anti slavery but still remained confederate to protect the rights of the state of Virginia.
/historical rant.
