This highly acclaimed mini series traces the course of the U.S. Civil War from the abolitionist movement through all the major battles to the death of President Lincoln and the beginnings of Reconstruction. The story is mostly told in the words of the participants themselves, through their diaries, letters, and Visuals are usually still photographs and illustrations of the time, and the soundtrack is likewise made up of war-era tunes played on period instruments. Several modern-day historians offer periodic comment and insight on the war's causes and events.
Release Date: 1990
Director: Ken Burns

Pros:
Shelby Foote
Cons:
Hard to Imagine
|
|
Great overview of the Civil War on film. I doubt there is a more engaging way to learn about the war outside of books. Shelby Foote's animated commentary and rich accent leave you wanting more even after hours of watching.
