This episode (& the ones leading up to it) did a very good job of showing how divisive & heart-wrenching the civil war was. It showed the varied issues, values & reasons to choose a side. Teaspoon's speech at Noah's funeral expressed what was to come very well. It made me even sadder seeing young Jesse James at the crossroad of his life, knowing the path he chose from there.
Having read the bios of all of the cast by now, I found it sadder still, knowing that Christopher Pettiet (Jesse James) died of an overdose at the very young age of 24. Yvonne Suhor (Lou McCloud)'s life was also cut short by pancreatic cancer.
This was a very powerful, well-done end to a wonderful series. As I said in the title...still crying...
