re: #173 DaddyG

One of the most moving scenes in either of those movies (again I’m not sure which one) was when the two Irish brigades faced off accross an open field. That was heart wrenching.

I think you’re talking about Gods and Generals with the Fredericksburg scene. I’ve long been interested in the immigrant experiences during the war. Wasn’t just Irish but people of many nationalities that fought for both’s sides. My lone ancestor who fought in the civil war was a German immigrant.
