Lincoln@Gettysburg DVD

  • item LGET601
  • Length 60 minutes on 1 Disc
How the telegraph helped Abraham Lincoln to reshape America In 1863, Abraham Lincoln proved himself a master of a new frontier--not on the battlefields of the Civil War, but in his "high-tech" command center, the War Department Telegraph Office. The telegraph was the "Internet" of the nineteenth century, and it gave Lincoln powers of command, communications, and control never before exercised by a commander-in-chief. He used this new technology to connect the country to him--receiving nearly live dispatches via telegraph from his generals in the field and sending out his plans for the nation faster and with more clarity than ever before. The results of Lincoln's pioneering experiment in electronic leadership would ultimately lead to the fields of Gettysburg. There, one battle turned the tide of the Civil War--and became the setting for the 272 words of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, the speech that recast the American ideal as a national creed. Lincoln@Gettysburg unfolds the greatest turning point in American history, the rebirth of a nation, and the dawn of the information age.

Lee & Grant Generals The Civil War DVD

  • Length 360 minutes on 2 Discs
  • item AMX62300
Step behind the battle lines with generals on both sides of the Civil War as AMERICAN EXPERIENCE explores the military prowess and political ambition of Union victor Ulysses S. Grant and his Confederate foe, Robert E. Lee. Ulysses S. Grant - Remembered as a brilliant military strategist--whose ruthlessness earned him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" - General Ulysses S. Grant was the greatest Union hero of the Civil War. But though he won the loyalty of thousands of soldiers, and the undying respect of Abraham Lincoln, Grant could not parlay his reputation as a general into presidential success: his time in the White House was plagued by scandal and economic depression. This film looks at Grant's legacy though the lens of his entire career, from before to the Civil War to his dying days. Special Features - Who's in Grant's Tomb Interview with the Producers Robert E. Lee - Before his surrender to General Grant at Appomattox, Robert E. Lee was the scourge of the Union and hero of the Confederacy. Now, almost 150 years after his death, Lee is still a source of fascination and, for some, veneration - celebrated by handsome equestrian statues in countless cities and towns across the American South, and by no less than five postage stamps issued by the very government he fought against. What is it about the man that allows him to be remembered as both a central villain and almost-savior during the bloodiest four years in American history? This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE film examines the life and reputation of the general who was elevated to near god-like status by his admirers after his death.

The work of contending with death on an unprecedented scale propelled extraordinary changes in the inner and outer life of Americans - posing challenges for which there were no ready answers when the war began - challenges that called forth remarkable and eventually heroic efforts as Americans worked to improvise new solutions, new institutions, new ways of coping with death on an unimaginable scale.
