The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams

The love story of Confederate Captain Robert Adams II and a northern girl, Eveline McCord. The story begins with Captain Adams falling in love with Eveline, a governess from Pennsylvania who moved to South Carolina to work for Robert's first cousin, Governor James Hopkins Adams. As they fall in love in antebellum South Carolina, Captain Adams is launched into the outbreak of the American Civil War, despite the protests of Eveline. The film follows Adams through battles in Virginia, and his capture and subsequent imprisonment in the Federal Military Prison in Elmira, New York. The film was written and produced by the descendants of Robert and Eveline.

The film addresses the issue of slavery in a number of scenes. One in particular shows Adams encountering an African American woman in the woods at night who has just buried her child. She tells Adams “You’ve made a hard bed for yourself, and now you’ve got to lie in it.” Another scene shows Eveline speaking with the character of Elizabeth about her coming freedom and what she will do.

The film premiered at the 2005 Long Island International Film Expo.[1] It was given a limited release, opening in theaters in Los Angeles, Nashville, Houston, Columbia, S.C, Charleston, S.C. and other cities.
