 When
The Civil War, originally premiered in September
1990, the response was phenomenal and the series became
a national viewing event. The film interweaves thousands
of photographs and paintings with the words of those who
lived through the war that shattered a union and shaped
a nation: politicians, generals, common soldiers, slaves
and free slaves, the famous and the forgotten, male and
female.
The series has also become incredibly popular with secondary
school teachers and is considered by many educators as
the definitive film history of the war. This Classroom
section was designed for educators who wish to use the
film and Web resources to enrich their teaching of the
Civil War.
The Civil War may be taped off-air and used for
up to a year following broadcast, or you may choose to
purchase
it. You’ll find the complete broadcast schedule
here.
