Gods and Generals is widely viewed as championing the Lost Cause ideology by creating a presentation more favorable to the Confederacy. [9] [10] Writing in The Journal of American History, historian Steven E. Woodworth derided the movie as a modern-day telling of Lost Cause mythology. [9] Woodworth called the movie "the most pro-Confederate film since Birth of a Nation, a veritable celluloid celebration of slavery and treason." He summed up his reasons for disliking the movie by saying: Follow these generals, and you'll keep in step with the Spirit.

Historian William B. Feis similarly criticized the director's decision "to champion the more simplistic-and sanitized-interpretations found in post-war "Lost Cause" mythology". [10] Writing for the Southern Poverty Law Center, George Ewert wrote that the film "is part of a growing movement that seeks to rewrite the history of the American South, downplaying slavery and the economic system that it sustained." Ewert also noted that white-supremacist groups such as the League of the South praised the film. [11] Past Winners Database". The L.A. Times. Archived from the original on August 15, 2007 .

God’s Generals By Roberts Liardon - Gospelmetrics Book: God’s Generals By Roberts Liardon - Gospelmetrics

You won’t find that description in the Bible though, but you will read about Old Testament patriarchs, kings, priests, and prophets and New Testament apostles. These are the great leaders of the Bible, many of which are mentioned in Hebrews 11, the chapter that is referred to as ‘God’s Hall of Faith’. ‘God’s Generals’ is a term made popular by Roberts Liairdon through his best-selling series of the same name which records extraordinary testimonies of pioneering men and women of God who have in the past two centuries laid the foundation for today’s Spirit-filled Church and its never-ending missionary outreach. Do you recall that old Sunday School song ‘I’m in the Lord’s Army’? Many will still remember the words they sang as a child though they are now adults! “I may never march in the infantry, ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery, I may never fly o’er the enemy, but I’m in the Lord’s army!” As kids, we sang these words loudly, along with all the actions, eager to be on the Lord’s side. Every child has a God-given dream to achieve greatness and what could be better than being a general in the army of God?The film's failure at the box office also caused Turner, who at the time was losing much of his wealth after the AOL-Time Warner merger and estimated his investment in the film to be worth 15 percent of his assets, to cancel his and Maxwell's plans to adapt the third book in the Sharaa family's Civil War trilogy The Last Full Measure.
