37 Weeks
Week 24 (September 29 - October 5)
Episode 24 | 1m 45s
Death and mourning overwhelm the nation, but burial rites are difficult to observe.
As the death toll reaches 500,000, the nation is preoccupied with death and mourning. Given the hardships of war, many Southern women cannot afford to spend money on the traditional customs of mourning. Men die in prison camps, hospitals, and on battlefields; some are buried in mass graves, many never identified. Widows like Rhoda Mobley are lucky to receive mementos of their dead husbands.
