We own it as well as the prequil, Gods and Generals, on DVD. There was supposed to be a third one that covered “after Gettysburg” but it never materialized.

The prequil was quite boring but an interesting docudrama. Gettysburg is amazing. Both show how little value was placed on the individual’s life. Also Gettysburg shows how both sides were religeous, especially the south, interestingly.

It was a different world. People seemed to see life as a temporary thing and what you did with it was far more important than preserving it.

I watch every year on the 3rd and 4th of July. This year our son passed away on the 6th. I don’t know if I can watch it again.
