The Civil War. War Is All Hell (1865). Episode 8
Description
This program begins with William T. Sherman's brilliant March to the Sea, which brought the war to the heart of Georgia and the Carolinas and spelled the end of the Confederacy. It continues with Lincoln's second inauguration, the fall of Petersburg and then Richmond to Grant's army, and the westward flight of Lee's tattered Army of Northern Virginia to a tiny crossroads town called Appomattox Court House, where the dramatic and deeply moving surrender of Lee to Grant would take place. The episode ends in Washington, where John Wilkes Booth dreamed of vengeance for the South.
