1:17:04
We must not allow him...
1:17:07
...the luxury of attacking us as divided and
separated units as he's done in the past.
1:17:11
And I will not make the same mistake
as my predecessors.
1:17:15
So no, General Hancock.
1:17:18
You will stay on this side
until the pontoons are in place...
1:17:22
...and the entire Army crosses together.
1:17:25
An irresistible, impregnable force.
1:17:37
Did you know George Washington
spent his boyhood not far from here?
1:17:41
And across that river, he's supposed
to have thrown that silver dollar...
1:17:46
...and cut down that cherry tree.
1:17:49
That may be so, Mr. Taylor, but it has
an even greater significance for me.
1:17:54
Is where I met my wife.
1:17:57
Thas something these Yankees
do not understand, will never understand.
1:18:01
You see these rivers and valleys
and streams...
1:18:04
...and fields, even towns?
1:18:07
They're just markings on a map to those
people in the war office in Washington.
1:18:12
But to us, my goodness, they're
birthplaces and burial grounds.
1:18:18
They're battlefields
where our ancestors fought...
1:18:21
...places where you and I learned
to walk, to talk and to pray.
1:18:24
Places where we made friendships
and, oh, yes, fell in love.
1:18:31
And they're the incarnation
of all our memories, Mr. Taylor...
1:18:38
...and all that we are.
1:18:41
All that we are.
