Directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, Based on a true story, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson as he leads the Confederacy to great success against the Union from 1861 to 1863, the Civil War which examines the early days of the conflict through the experiences of three men. Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain left behind a quiet life and a career as a college professor to become one of the Union’s greatest military minds. Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was, like Chamberlain, a man of great religious faith who served in the defense of the Confederacy. And Gen. Robert E. Lee, who led the Confederate army, was a man who was forced to choose between his loyalty to the United States and his love of the Southern states.
