Pretty good blogging. This story could be about any war. It touches on what every soldier feels before, during and after the battle.
What items did you see that tells you that this is the Civil War period? What kind of fighting occurred? How did the men react? How did the generals or leaders react?
This is a good start. I would suggest you get another Civil War movie to watch before you move on to our Indian movies.
