[edit] Synopsis
During the American Civil War, Confederate Sergeant Joseph Paradine is offered a book from an old man. He is told the book contains a spell that can freeze the Union Army in its tracks, and is urged to use the spell to save the Confederacy. The old man dies, and Paradine reports to his superior officers. Upon opening the book, he sees that the spell requires him to call upon Satan and renounce God. Rather, he throws the book into the fire, saying that if the Confederacy is to die, let it be buried in hallowed ground. The next day, Paradine receives orders that the army is going to march to Gettysburg.
