The 24 Best Movies About the American Civil War According to the Enemy of Average

Cinema has always had a love affair with the wars of America's past and no conflict is more cinematic than the American Civil War. The battle between the Northern states and Southern states is steeped in myth, filled with larger-than-life figures such as Abraham Lincoln and Confederate General Rpbert E. Lee. However, that mythology often obscures some horrid truths about the war. Rhetoric about states' rights and the "Lost Cause" mythology, which insists on the nobility of Confederate ideals, distract from the issue of slavery, making heroes out of those who fought to keep others in chains. The best Civil War movies grapple with the tension between fact and fiction, helping viewers wrestle with facts about America's past, but even those that perpetuate myths deserve attention if just to remember how these misconceptions get propagated.
