Antietam

This is the opening scenes from the movie Glory (1989). It's a really evocative and intelligent appraisal of the type of warfare of the time. I don't know much about the American Civil War so I can't say whether Antietam is well represented but in general this clip is to me what I associate with the war - without any of the mawkish sentementality of the Ron Maxwell films.
