Description
Ken Burns' Emmy Award-winning documentary brings to life America's most destructive and defining conflict. The "Civil War" is the saga of celebrated generals and ordinary soldiers, a heroic and transcendent president, and a country that had to divide itself in two in order to become one.
Description
"The stage is set for war as the nation begins to tear apart. Opposition by the North to slavery in the South fuels a bitter debate, and the country wrestles with conflicts between the Union and states' rights. Commanding center stage are towering figures - Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Ulysses S. Grant, and Robert E Lee. From Harper's Ferry to Fort Sumter, the first chapters unfold in a conflict from which there will be no turning back."--Container.
