      • "The effort to revise the history of the Civil War to favor the South in popular memory began the moment that America's bloodiest war had come to an end. Former Confederate leaders, preachers and ideologues, determined to shake off the notion that they had fought to defend a society based on human servitude, launched a campaign to bury the real cause of the war that has not ended to this day....Now comes the latest effort in that tradition, a $56-million, 216-minute blockbuster film called 'Gods and Generals.' Funded by Ted Turner Pictures and directed, written and produced by Ronald Maxwell....'Gods and Generals' is part of a growing movement that seeks to rewrite the history of the American South, downplaying slavery and the economic system that it sustained" (Southern Poverty Law Center, 8/15/03).
