Program Description

In 1861 and the call went out for men to join the Union Army there was less participation than you would think. But in the Confederate Army it was a different story all together. Both sides fought in the Civil War, but they were further apart in many other reasons besides miles and political ideology. We describe the differences of both armies and why the "War Between the States" was fought. More soldier's died in the Civil War than WW II, Korea and Viet Nam combined. There weapons were more modern than Revolutionary War, but their equipment had not changed much. We will investigate the Civil War soldier as you have never seem him before.
