(If you have never seen civil war pictures..lots of dead bodies, piles of them, etc)
Death and destruction beyond anything ever experienced in this country .Nothing in our history is worse than this......So..here it is 4 hours and 22 minutes of film by Ken Burns....Episode 4 it is called..It is really a combination of episodes. So, If you want to see the death and destruction..watch this. NO..It is not pretty, but it is honest and truthful.
In this episode (number 4 of 7) is the Battle of Gettysburg But this film is not all about Gettysburg. It is the events leading up to and after..many of the events of the war.
.....This will tear your heart out, and this killing and destruction..is nothing to be proud of. Yes, 4 hours and 22 minutes..Yes, I remember seeing the section on the ..."Battle of Gettysburg"... So, on both sides, Confederate and Union .. there is nothing to be proud of..I believe this should be required viewing for everyone to understand this period of history. We have lost our perspective..this was made 28 years ago, and the war was 150 years ago..
No..nothing to be proud of..not this war...Not 620,000 deaths..
because of the way it has been posted on You Tube..this could really be about one third of the entire Civil War series.............
.At about 1:25..to about 1:35 is the story about the Gettysburg Address...with a reading, and some pictures of the dead... ...That section is called, "A New Birth of Freedom"
All episodes available on You Tube..for viewing for all..
