I think it is interesting that you loved this movie. My husband and I tried to watch it and could not finish it. I am confused by the Civil War to begin with. I love the stories of the Ammerican revolution..Perhaps Civil War is just not my thing.

If one understands that the Civil War was not about freeing slaves (a depicable practice that should have been ended) as it was about states rights, it all becomes clearer.

It must be tough for you to homeschool something that doesn't interest you. I can't even imagine. Homeschoolers are miracle workers.

"Perhaps Civil War is just not my thing" Don't feel bad. I live within 5 miles of the entrance to the battlefield, and have never visited it. Been a resident of Washington County, Md. for all my 43 years, except for a few years in Louisiana and Pennsylvania.I know a lot of re-enactors and metal detector buffs who love it though, lots of minnie balls , buttons, buckles and other things can be found outside the boundries of the park, and they seem to fetch quite a price.
