"The creator of this dvd set seems to have little reguard for the truth.It is an example of taking history and retelling it from one point of view.One would think every southern familay had slaves and beat them daily.Truth is about 10% of the population owned 95% of the slaves. When one spends a lifetime studying this time period as I have (73)one realizes what a shallow work this. At best inaccurate, at worst deliberate misleading."
Poorly Produced and Over Priced

"This series of programmes seem to have been pulled together without a great deal of research or professionalism.
Having watched the entire series over the period of a week I again viewed Ken Burn's "Civil War" series. NO COMPARISON could be made particularly as to historical content and fact."
