Hmm….I’m just spitballing here, but I don’t think they were really going for the whole tax-day association so much as it being the day of Lincoln’s death…(hat tip to Hoptak as well)
This trailer strikes me as maybe a wee bit political… as in military trials or no way to handle civilian terrorists, i.e. belligerent non-combatants. Someone behind this doesn’t like their Gitmo, I think.

About
Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.
The Project
This site is more than a blog. Bull Runnings also hosts digitized material pertaining to First Bull Run. In the Bull Run Resources link in the masthead and also listed below are links to Orders of Battle, After Action Reports, Official Correspondence, Biographical Sketches, Diaries, Letters, Memoirs, Newspaper Accounts and much, much more. Take some time to surf through the material. This is a work in process with no end in sight, so check back often!

Tax day. Heh. The trailer looks sympathetic to the hanged. I suppose that’s fair.

I think I will try to see the movie. Kevin Kline as Stanton? That ought to be worth five bucks alone!
