Publisher's Synopsis
Entrenched in a conflict over slave labor, the industrialized North and slave-powered South of the mid 1800's became entangled in the only war to be waged between Americans on U.S. soil. The Civil War, infamously known as the bloodiest military conflict to date, engaged three million Americans, claiming the lives of over half a million. The long march from secession to Southern Reconstruction comes to vivid life with The Civil War Collection, a riveting eight hour documentary that leads the listener on a compelling historical timeline chronicling America's insurrection. History buffs and educators alike will marvel at these peerless recordings offering unmatched scope and accuracy. From Fort Sumter to Appomattox, The Civil War Collection is a uniquely valuable testament to the tumultuous era of Lincoln and Lee.
