Sherman's March

Description

Known affectionately as "Uncle Billy" by Union soldiers but reviled in the South as a brutal war criminal, General William Tecumseh Sherman is one of the truly enigmatic and complex figures in the American pantheon. His legacy was built during a five-week campaign of terror and destruction that ranks as one of the most daring endeavors in U.S. military history. Combining breathtaking reenactments with analysis from leading historians, this A&E Special retraces the steps of the 60,000 Union soldiers who stormed through the heart of the south, determined to bring an end to the bloody Civil War.
