1:23:00
About half is free, half slave.
1:23:04
Thas counting all the cousins and such.
1:23:08
You must know that there are
some officers in this Army...
1:23:12
...who are of the opinion that...
1:23:15
...we should be enlisting Negroes
as a condition for freedom.
1:23:19
General Lee is among them.
1:23:21
Thas what they says around the camp.
1:23:24
Your people will be free,
one way or another.
1:23:29
The question is, if the Southern government
will have...
1:23:32
...the good sense to do it first and soon.
1:23:35
And in so doing seal a bond
of enduring friendship between us.
1:23:42
Thas what they says, general.
1:23:46
Goïs plan is a great mystery.
1:23:50
It will be revealed to us.
1:24:02
Thas all the fodder you get tonight.
1:24:06
We's going to a country where there's
nothing more for an animal to eat...
1:24:10
...than there is whas in the palm
of my hand.
1:24:27
General Lee, fine day, sir.
1:24:29
We got batteries all along that hill,
covering our front to the river.
1:24:34
Strong anchor on the north.
1:24:35
Tomorrow, guns will be positioned
in those trees to the south.
1:24:39
We'll be able to cover the entire
open ground, all of it.
1:24:43
General, they gonna come at us here?
1:24:48
Colonel Alexander...
1:24:50
...Federal troops amassed across that river
are watching us prepare for them.
1:24:54
If I were General Burnside,
I wouldn't attack here.
1:24:57
I'd move back upstream,
come across from above us.
