    From The Chase in 1966 to ATPM in 1976 where Redford was on fire as an actor and in the roles he chose... aside from The Hot Rock. Find another actor who did better !

    It's clear watching this that Redford still has much to offer the world. He's an Oscar winning director. He needs to make another movie or three.

    Wonderful, it is amazing how much there is still to be learned about Slavery, the Civil War, what people fought over I the 1960’s and later. I thought I knew a lot. After all, I was there/here and heard all the speeches. But now I have heard this and need to go back and hear it again with years of living with the results still leaking down the years. Mr Willetz and I are the same age, but our lives have run to different places and learning. Mr Willetz is amazing!

    What I cannot understand is why if the confederacy left the country, why would the constitution and having rights apply to them. The fact that Lincoln fired Fremont is bad...the fact Lincoln executed N. Gordon is heroic. I am going to sue RUclips due the fact this video was here a year and I just saw this.
