The Union victory
at Gettysburg is considered by many historians to be the turning point of the Civil War. This film is a re-creation of the battle. The movie makers attempted to portray events as they actually occurred. The film is based on the historical novel, The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara.
Almost everything shown in this film conforms to the historical record, including Colonel Chamberlain's bayonet charge, Longstreet's objections to Lee's tactics, Lee's statement accepting blame for the defeat, etc.

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a discussion question from the Learning Guide to Gettysburg.
Chamberlain, when he is talking to the men who refused to fight because their enlistments had expired, tells them that the Union Army is different than other armies that the world had known before. What was his point? Was he correct? Was the Confederate Army any different?
The Learning Guide to Gettysburg also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
