I thought that overall the movie Gods and Generals was a pretty good
history lesson on the part of the Civil War that was portrayed therein.
However, you probably won't like the movie if:

a)  You think the Civil War was primarily fought to free Southern slaves;
b)  You don't think the North invaded the South;
c)  You are an atheist;
d)  You don't like Stonewall Jackson;
e)  You like Hillary Clinton;
f)  You think Mira Sorvino is a good actress;
g)  You like Bill Clinton
h)  You think REL was the demonic leader of the evil slave empire;
i)  You can't envision a former husband of Jane Fonda as a Southern general;
j)  You saw Dumb and Dumber more than once;
k)  You think Black Americans played a significant military role during the
Civil War; and
l)  You can't stay off your cell phone for four hours.
