Trivia:

It takes place after the Civil War and has great characters, and an interesting plot.
On one hand, it is a feel good movie about how the south and north work together, and on the other hand it is really corny.
This movie tries to tackle too many social issues, it is north vs. south, Indian vs. white, USA vs. Mexico, and Mexico vs. insurgents.
The ending is melodramatic, and without the action that characterizes earlier scenes. However, it was refreshing to see an ending that was diplomatic, rather than a blood bath.
Worthwhile watching.
