The Civil War fundamentally reshaped America. In this series, hear Daniel and Joshua Horn explain the causes of the war: religion, slavery, economics and state’s rights. Also explore the tales of the bloodiest war in American history, from the brilliant victories of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, the disastrous Confederate defeat at Gettysburg, to the perseverance of Ulysses S. Grant and Lee’s surrender at Appomattox.
