On Quora, historian James M. Volo describes Southern cadets leaving the Academy not confrontationally - on the other hand not the cermonious parting of They Died with Their Boots On.
Not bad. I assume the spoilers - fates of the cadets - at the end of the film came after the series was turned down. Blue and Gray remains excellent.
Interesting detail/depiction of uniform confusion.
I doubt an artillery officer would have ceased fire simply because he saw former classmates.
Pretty ladies.
The film should have spent at least a couple minutes describing/mapping the battle more. This is where aggressive Confederate Stonewall Jackson became a giant, already.
It certainly does handle the social side of the early conflict.
