Summary: Absolutley Fantastic
Comment: If there was a 6 star rating, I would give it that. I saw bits and pieces of this series, and decided to get the whole series. I live close to the Lincoln museum and library, and have a special interest in the Civil War. Ken Burns did a GREAT job of describing the causes and trials of the war. Would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in this subject.

Comment: decision. The Southerners knew enslaving people was wrong when they bought the salves from the North since 1833 when slavery was not outlawed in States by one vote.

Summary: One of the best documentaries ever
Comment: Ken Burns is a master of telling history through television. "The Civil War" is a sweeping epic that tells all sides and mixes in the hard facts with the human side of America's most tragic war.
The narration by actors, the photographs, the video and the music all combine to create pure magic.
Those who say they refuse to have a TV in their homes because nothing good ever comes out of it, need to reconsider based on documentaries like this.
I highly recommend it.

Summary: My Family's War
Comment: My family moved to Washington Parish just north of New Orleans in 1804 and participated in the Civil War in every way possible - on the right side of course. This series has always touched me and I watch it all the way through at least once a year. In fact I was watching it when I got the phone call that Katrina was not going to turn toward Florida but was going to be on a direct path for New Orleans where I was living at the time. It has been repeated through the generations that one of my female relatives hid secrets in her hair and skirts when crossing over the lines.
This series is a terrific hit and I will never grow tired of seeing it.
