In this seminar we will examine how popular culture films have portrayed the Civil War era of American history. I will analyze the messages, historical accuracy and influence of Birth of a Nation (1915), Gone With the Wind (1939), Glory (1983), Gods and Generals (2003), and Free State of Jones (2016). There are many more films we could discuss, but need to formulate a means of evaluating Hollywood’s agenda and the use of films that claim accuracy.
