I have just finished watching a documentary by PBS called The Civil War. I learned about the civil war in school and found it something of an interest to me over the years. I knew the numbers lost. I knew that it was this war that divided and ultimately united us. I understood that it was more than the abolishment of slavery.
However, this telling of the war, the narration of so many letters, poems, and with the pictures of that time. Leaves me with a new understanding...that leaves me nearly speechless.
