You really have to give it to filmmakers for
willing to show a documentary about a period during
the civil war and confront much of the government’s
attempts to recruit black men into service. Many of
them refused to serve, while others felt obligated.
“Sherman’s March” makes no excuses about that fact,
nor does it ever gloss over that point. Instead it’s
an interesting glimpse at William Sherman and his
efforts to invade much of the land in an effort to
win the Civil War. Controversial and rather
fascinating, Civil War buffs will eat this
examination of the military figure, with a spoon,
and it’s a worthy two hours in history.
