Like in this movie, as great as it is - the South are portrayed like disheveled country bumpkins, hana
You making a fair point, buna

Gods and Generals
was about the only film I can think of that ever portrayed the Confederacy fair and balanced. Sympathetic? Even that. Certainly a deeply moving and informative work.

Agreed, amcalabrese. The South has always been treated well in films like the original
Birth of a Nation, Gone With the Wind, So Red the Rose
and many others. Only recently have filmmakers looked at the reality of slavery and presented a less romantic view of the South.

Hollywood has always played up the myth of the "Lost Cause" and until recently has generally viewed the South's cause favorably.

The slave owners owned the land and stores . poor whites were forced to fight or their families kicked out and what little they had taken from them. Kind of like today

It was a region of vast disparities of wealth versus poverty. Wealthy plantation slave owners convincing dirt poor farmers and laborers that it was in their interest to give their lives so the rich could continue to enjoy their ill-gotten wealth.
You can't have been all that smart to have fallen into that slave-owners trap
