I really like it and I really wish more people knew about it! So many Hollywood movies just go to pieces whenever they get near the Civil War. This one faces it dead-on, in some ways more successfully even than movies that followed it. It's rare even now to find a movie that will acknowledge racism among its white characters as a de facto state, not a villainous marker. I think it must have been the B-picture latitude again.
