Even more interesting would be a documentary on the New York and New England business interests that pushed Lincoln to start the war.

An unbiased account of events leading up to Ft Sumter would be a good movie. Heck, call it "Sumter". I volunteer to play the role of Edmund Ruffin.

Perhaps you mean ‘differently biased’.

Edmund Ruffin in April 1861? Or Edmund Ruffin in June 1865?
