The Civil War

I'm watching the Kenneth Lauren Burns 1989 epic; 'The Civil War' narrated by David McCullough . Having watched seven episodes so far, I can safely conclude that if you don't know that much about the United States of America, then this documentary is a great place to start. I now know why there is a Thanksgiving and why it's on the date that it is. I know why the national cemetery is where it is. And i know a bit more about our cousins from across The Pond. It's all moving stuff, made more moving by the haunting soundtrack. Miss it at your peril as it inform, as to why the United States is what it is.
