At the battle of Petersburg, when the Union army advances on the Confederate lines, Billy crosses on planks and climbs to the top of the trench. At the top, he grabs the Confederate flag (the Stainless Banner)and waves it around. The scene cuts to a distance, and now he's waving the "Stars and Bars". The scene cuts back and he's waving the "Stainless Banner" again.

User Reviews

North and South is a movie mini-series based on the Civil War and Slavery issues.

I learned a lot from watching North and South. There were some issues about Slavery which was brought up, that I had not known about. I absolutely adore Kirstie Alley! This was also the movie/mini-series that got me interested in Patrick Swayze. I had not known anything about him until that point. Patrick Swayze's character as "Orry Mane" not sure of spelling, was very believable. I also truly enjoyed Kirstie Alley's role. In my personal opinion, this was her best performance ever. You really should see it. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, make this a spectacular and believable movie. Make sure you have plenty of hankies ready. It will make you cry from sorrow, anger, and even cry out with joy!
