A Must-See Movie Coming This June


Thomas DiLorenzo
February 10, 2013


Ron Maxwell of "Gettysburg" fame has a new movie coming out entitled "Copperhead: The War at Home." A friend who has seen an advance screening says "it is terrific."

"Copperhead" is the libelous term the Lincoln regime assigned to its Northern state critics who were also known as "Peace Democrats" or "Jeffersonians." ( See Frank Klement's book, Lincoln's Critics: The Cooperheads of the North). Our friend Bill Kauffman is the film's screenwriter.

Here's more info on the movie.

The neocons will throw a fit and behave like knaves, jerks, and pompous asses, as usual, whereas their compatriots in the left-wing media will make a few smarmy remarks about the film and then ignore it.


Books:

Lincoln's Critics: The Copperheads of the North

Copperheads: The Rise and Fall of Lincoln's Opponents in the North

I heard about this some time ago but thought it was going to be a biopic about Congressman Clement Vallandigham which would have been amazing. This looks amazing and Maxwell has portrayed the most accurate and fair representations of that time period and deserves kudos for not only that but making two epic films in Gettysburg and Gods & Generals. The third part of the trilogy looks to be on hold with no set date for filming the last I heard. I actually have a part on the third film (The Last Full Measure) should it ever actually get the funding.

Sounds like an awesome idea for a film...far more original than Spielberg's big-budget love letter to the biggest butcher of the 19th century.

I'm really looking forward to this. Might check out the books as well.

Maxwell's Gettysburg and Gods and Generals are the movies I fall asleep too.

Abe had opponents in the North, why didn't they prevent the war?

Fear? Political/personal gains?
