Comment: I recently re-watched my set and logged on to buy 2nd set as gift. Sorry to see it only seems to be available individually. Buy them or keep shopping! it's so worth it. Ken Burns did an amazing job. Even if you're only remotely interested in the Civil War, you WILL be hooked. The pictures, the diary entries, it's a very personal account and also quite surprising to see what a miracle it was the North won. Northern Generals like George McClellan were absolute idiots. The South was much smarter tactically and it's clear the only reason the North won was troop volume. This set gets into everything from the day to day hardships of the soldiers to the personal notations of Lee and Lincoln and Davis to the hell the civilians went through. Very eclectic even-handed account that I HIGHLY recommend.
