to starve and die.

That being so...

...and with the Southern Confederacy

certain to succeed...

...and achieve its independence

in just a few more months...

...I make you all this offer.

If you will join our army

and serve it faithfully to the end...

...you will receive all the rewards...

...that the rest of our soldiers do.

You'll be taken out of this place

at once, today...

...this very minute.

You'll be clothed and fed.

You'll receive a nice cash bounty.

And at the conclusion of the war...

...you will have your very own farm.

That is our offer, men.

What is your answer?

Colonel, sir.

Sgt. James Dudley McSpadden,

19th Massachusetts Volunteers, sir!

I have the honor to speak

for my detachment, sir!

First Detachment, form ranks!

Attention detachment!

Forward march!

Right, two. Right, two.

Three cheers for Sgt. McSpadden!

Hip, hip!

Hurrah!

March! Right, two.

Second Detachment, form ranks!

Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, form ranks!

Seventh Detachment, form...

Forward march! Right, two. Right, two.

Attention, detachment! Forward face!

March!

Hey, hey, hey! Get away from him,

you lousy rag picker.

- that the winged seraphs of heaven...

...coveted thee.

Easy, son.

Got the fever.

So gather around.

Rise up, you Yankees!

Y'all are weak, naked demons

for sitting too long!

Move on up, now!

Move on up!

Everybody, please gather around.

I have some good news for you!

It will make you very happy.

Go on, now, and listen

to what the captain has to say!

- Gather around.

- Move on up, now!

- Move on up.

- Gather around.

You are being exchanged, starting today.

Every one of you, starting right now,

this morning.

You see, all this time, I was right.

I was right, and you didn't believe me.

Go tell the rest! Everyone is exchanged!

The train leaves in two hours.

The gate is open!

The gate is open!

We're exchanged.

- Martin?

- Patrick.

Patrick, come on. Come on.

We can leave.

Billy.

Come on. Come on, lad, get up.
