Gettysburg Soundtrack: Main TitleSep 03, 2010
Composed by Randy Edelman 1993 This is one of my favorite soundtracks for one of my favorite movies. The movie also introduced my to the book it's based on: "The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara. I'd recommend either for history buffs and whatnot. Jeff Daniels is also the perfect actor for Chamberlain. But enough talk, here ya' go. Enjoy!

Chamberlain's Speech to Mutineers on Road to Gettysburg: What it is to be an AmericanAug 30, 2010
Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was marching with his men to Gettysburg to hold the left flank of the Union line...when 120 mutineers were given to him and told he could shoot them by a snobby guard detail officer. Wronged by the Army bureaucracy with a gotchya! stop-loss that wouldn't let them out of their expired enlistment contracts (sound familiar?), Chamberlain instead DOES THE RIGHT THING and ASKS them to fight one more last time for the Union. He reminds them that there is no "us" and "them" snobbery the Southern Rednecks prescribe too, only US; each one of US are human beings made in God's image and in the final analysis: WE FIGHT FOR EACHOTHER. www.combatreform.org Those mutineers--WHO DIDN'T HAVE TO--swayed by Chamberlain's logic and love of mankind SAVED OUR NATION that fatefull day when by the thinnest of margins they defeated an emotional Confederate attack by doing the unpredictable---fixing bayonets! and charging--when their ammunition ran out. Chamberlain's tactical intellect and MORAL INTEGRITY won the battle. This is what being a REAL American is all about. Standing for your conscience based on FACTS. Not prejudices and hate. We need this reminder today because we have a new underclass of hate and violence-mongers masquerading as "Americans" but who have no conscience and want to live their lives based on prejudices and not any objective FACTS; steered by a dictator who creates wars for maximum corporate profits just as long as he feeds them ...
