The Hellbenders
Movie • 1967 • Action
ReportSynopsis
The Civil War has ended, but not for Jonas, a ruthless Confederate officer who wants to continue the fight by reorganizing Confederate troops in the Southwest with the support of a large sum of stolen money. He devises an elaborate ruse to allow his small party to travel with minimal scrutiny through hostile territory, for the money is hidden in a coffin said to contain the body of his dead son. Jonas' other sons travel with him along with a hired "widow", as they proceed to what they hope to be a new start to the War between the States. However, while en route, they face severe, ongoing strife among themselves and successive threats from Union soldiers, a posse of cowboys, and an Indian war party.

The leads are all Confederate veterans trying to bring back the Confederacy, but it is more sad reminiscing about the "noble South" than "grr all Yanks die I wish we still had slaves" Period-typical remarks about Mexicans and Native Americans

you could certainly make that reading, since many characters are Civil War veterans, but there is no typical "flashback" scene or "tragic backstory drop"
