After Serving In The Civil War, He Formed A Rebellion Against The Government

"He deeded her 160 acres of land, making her one of the few African American women in the country" lol

From the beginning of the war , wealthy northerners paid a small amount for replacement soldiers. Many were immigrants from Germany and Ireland. There were entire Regiments that spoke only Gaelic or German.

Such a sad and underrated movie.

This movie is historically inaccurate. Newt Knight and his band attacked both confederate and union troops who entered their area in Sullivan's Hollow, Jones county, MS because both armies raided for supplies. Both union and confederate leaders would even give guns to their POWs when they were going through Newt's domain. Also, he bought Rachel to care for his young son when his wife died. Rachel was so loyal to him because she had a young child too and when the slave auction people tried to take her child from her because it was a common practice to do so in that day, Newt told them to stop that he would take the child too because she could care for two children as easily as one.

2:48 I like how he calls the double barrel shotgun a rifle

0:34 He actually removes the jacket of the wounded so he could lie that the boy was an officer, so he would get treated first

Imaagine being an officer and going to someones parents house to say hes dead i cant even imagine the saddness of the parents or even me

The man has my upmost RESPECT FOR FIGHTING THE BULL** LAW.

"Daniel, a teen farm kid from his hometown" What? It was Newton's nephew.

I have watched this film about 3 times and I never understood the context of it until now 😂

I found this channel a few days ago and have been bingewatching since then ! Also what is the name of the background music, its so good i want to use it as a backgroud music while i play games. Thanks

Now this is what I'm talking about! Great movie.

i like the background music its chill and i didn't even hear it during the main parts of the video.

Sadly this movie was all but ignored! It was a great & eye opening movie

I’m actually related to Newton Knight from my dad’s side of the family

Reminds me of a Civil War Robin Hood.

Nice video Bud, keep it up :)
