Films that made you interested in a particular part of history

He's joking for now, but just you wait until everyone involved with the original that had any noteworthy clout is dead.
Mark my words we'll see a [current year] Dollar Trilogy before anyone ITT dies.

Westerns in general make me interested in the time period and in cowboy culture. I've only seen westerns made from the 60s to now. My grandpa used to watch black and white westerns but I never get recommendations for really old westerns.

Not the guy you're responding to, but in American public schools the teachers generally gloss over our civil war by saying it was exclusively about slavery and that the south were evil nog haters that had literally no other reason to resist the north besides wanting to keep their expensive and often disobedient slaves.

Literally the only reason I know better is because I live in VA and have visited many Civil War parks and studied the general history behind the conflict.
Otherwise I can guarantee you that most Americans you ask will either have no idea that we had a civil war in the first place, or they'll think it was exclusively about slavery and not the political and economical shitstorm that was present between the north and the south at the time.
They most likely couldn't even comprehend how Britain (who at the time had already abolished slavery) seriously considered allying with the Confederacy at one point during the war until they decided to stand around and let the Union eventually fuck the south into the ground.

Why did you think attaching a Jojo image would add anything to your post?

Not him

1. that particular Jojo image deals with post-Civil War America and that part in particular also partially deals with American Indians on top of that
2. why does it matter what reaction image an user uses?

Jojo part 7 is a western, animeonlyfag.

No Civil War connection is clear in the image, so it's useless for that purpose, and it doesn't work as a standalone reaction, either.

I can use any reaction I want you unamerican.

Except it does, considering the user clearly likes westerns and used a positive reaction image as a response to the OP.
