Trivia:
Mira Sorvino was one of the first members of the cast to sign onto the project. Director Ronald F. Maxwell had originally cast her (and become a huge fan of her acting ability) as Joan of Arc for his film Joan of Arc: The Virgin Warrior (2007). When that film was halted in pre-production and postponed, he felt obliged to offer her a role in his next film to be greenlit, "Gods and Generals".

Goofs:
Factual errors: When Jeb Stuart visits Jackson in his camp he introduces himself as a Lieutenant Colonel but he wears the shoulder boards of a full colonel which is a full rank higher (a lieutenant colonel wears a silver leaf while a full colonel displays an eagle). Later in the scene Jackson refers to him as "General Stuart".

Quotes:
Capt. James Power Smith:
General Jackson, how is it you remain so calm in the midst of battle?
Gen. 'Stonewall' Jackson: Mr. Smith, my religious faith teaches me that God has already fixed the time of my death; therefore, I think not of it. I am as calm in battle as I would be in my own parlor. God will come for me in his own time.

FAQ
Given that slavery was a brutal and immoral practice, why would anyone today (including the makers of this film) side with the Confederates, who supported slavery, against the Union, which sought to abolish it?more

Stirring, well-acted, and intelligent film about the war. Critics hate it because it doesn't kowtow to the conventional thought. But for open-minded individuals who like history and well-made movies this one can't be beat.
