I for one was dying to see it this weekend but it was sold-out. :( maybe later than.
And all those nuances can be traced back to slavery. Hahha, you know, Ive done the research, the Civil War was 99.5% slavery... I mean, sure, a person could say that it was a battle over state's rights... but it was state's rights over slavery. Etc. Bottom line, the South wanted slavery, it didnt want to lose influence in the USA (by losing an important way to gain revenue, and thus influence), so it went to war.
