The Battle of Ball's Bluff of October 21, 1861, in which Union Army forces under Major General George B. McClellan suffered a humiliating defeat.
The Battle of Fort Donelson was fought from February 11-16, 1862, in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. The Union capture of the Confederate fort near the Tennessee-Kentucky border opened the Cumberland River, an important avenue for the invasion of the South. It also handed Union General U.S. Grant an early, high-profile victory.
Experience the personal impact of the events from 1800 to 1859 that led to the American Civil War - a story that transports viewers directly to the frontlines of the most historically significant moments leading to the start of this fascinating period of American history.
The complete, serialized history of the American Civil War is told in this LionHeart FilmWorks original production - a multi-part documentary series which traces the causes, courses as well as the major events and personalities of the American Civil War. Between 1859 and 1865, this epic American story of struggle and survival was written in blood, and in this series is told mostly from first-hand accounts and in the spoken words of the participants themselves, through their diaries, letters, and memoirs. The series concludes with Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House and the surrender of the western Confederate Army to Sherman in North Carolina in the spring of 1865. It then explores the legacy of slavery and the consequences and meaning of a war that transformed the country forever.
Featuring nearly 20,000 re-enactors in masterfully crafted battlefield re-enactments along-side original photographs; gain perspective and depth to the war that divided a nation. Also featuring paintings from acclaimed historical artist Dan Nance. Produced during the 150th anniversary of the War - we are presenting our series from start-to-finish in easy to follow shorts.
