The American Civil War has been served abysmaly by Hollywood. "The General" is wonderful for Buster Keaton's creativity, but most films were dreck the likes of "Kansas Pacific" with characters like Quantrill nothing like they originally were.

But then, with all the movies made about The James Brothers and Billy The Kid (who looked like Paul Newman, Kris Kristofferson AND Michael J. Pollard, among others, at one time) we could spend some good hours on just those.
