Synopsis

Perhaps the most defining moment of American history would be a war where friends and family were pitted against each other in deadly conflict to determine whether the Union should endure. Did states have the right to secede from the Union? Did the ideal of all men being “created equal” have meaning? Could a nation of free men and women also be a nation where men and women were considered property? Follow the battles on sea and in the fields and in the towns of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Missouri, Kansas, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Read the words of combatants. Understand from firsthand accounts the political wars raging throughout the halls of governments north and south. From their journals, letters, articles, documents, orders, legislation, and more, discover the original voices of men and women of that time. Learn of their anxieties, beliefs, and how Americans could come to bring about more than 600,000 deaths – the deadliest war ever experienced by American fighting men.
