I read the John Jakes novels on North and South. Now you have me very curious about watching the screen version.

It isn't the worst, but I did find it disappointing. Too many changes.

Agreed. In the book. Orry Main dies and Madaline eventually marries George, who also loses his wife Constance. Those things never happened in the three mini series. But, the min series prompted me to read all the Jakes books. As usual, the book was better. But, I thoroughly enjoyed the mini series. David Caradine’s character (Justin LaMotte) was brilliant. And Leslie Anne Down was absolutely stunningly beautiful. As for Patrick? Well, this is where I totally fell for him.
